Mrs. Cecilia Brannan
Dies at 88; Recalled
Shelling of Atlanta
Mrs. Cecilia E. Brannan, descend
ant of the old Atlanta family of
Gannon, died yesterday at her
home, 5 Rhode Island avenue N.W.
She was 88.
The attractive Miss Gannon, then
21, married Michael M. Brannan, sr.,
-Georgia journalist, in 1881 at At
lanta. They came to Washington
a few years before Mr. Brannan’s
death in 1911. Since his d^ath, Mrs.
Brannan devoted most of her time
to the sodality of St. Martin’s
Church, 1722 North Capitol street.
As she grew older she liked to
reminisce on events of her early
childhood, especially the Civil War.
She recalled the shelling of Atlanta.
Her 4-year-old brother died of pneu
monia from exposure on the roof
of the Trout House, which her
father, Thomas A. Gannon, owned.
Women and children were put on
the roof for safety, she recalled.
In 1946 Mrs. Brannan was con
fined to her bed. Because of her
failing health, she never was told
of the death of a son, Thomas C:
Brannan, 50. He died February 23
at a veterans’ hospital in North
Carolina.
Surviving are two sons, Richard
A. Brannan of Washington, Patrick
F. Brannan of Santa Rosa, Calif.,
and two daughters, Miss Cecilia E.
Brannan of Washington, ana Miss
May Brannan of St. Louis.
Requiem mass will be said at 9
a.m. tomorrow in St. Martin's
Church, with burial in Mount Olivet
Cemetery.

Accused at Hearing
By the Associated Press
A retired postal inspector, testi
fying before a Senate committee,
yesterday accused Roscoe B. Huston,
Detroit postmaster, of drunkenness,
vulgarity, political favoritism, lax
ness and inefficiency.
Roy La Forge, who retired as an
inspector January 1, 1947, said Mr.
Huston’s “standing and reputation
are not good.”
Mr. La Forge testified he so re
ported in 1945 in a personal letter
that was referred to Jesse Donald
son, then Assistant Postmaster
General. What Mr. Donaldson, who
now is Postmaster General, did
about it was not developed.
James J. Doran, chief Post Office
inspector, said Mr. La Forge retired
“with an excellent record.”
Their testimony was given at a
hearing called by Chairman Langer
of the Senate Post Office Commit
tee to investigate what he called of
ficial misconduct and maladmin
istration In the Detroit office.
Vincent C. Burke, acting Post
master General, refused to produce
reports submitted to the depart
ment by Mr. La Forge but later
said he would offer those still avail
able at a closed committee session
set for Tuesday afternoon.

4-Monfh Term Given
For Taking 25c Bet
Johnnie Smallwood, 37, colored,
of the 900 block of C street S.W.,
was sentenced today in Montgomery
County Circuit Court to serve nine
months in the Maryland House of
Corrections and was fined $750 on
gambling charges involving a 25
cent numbers bet.
The jury deliberated only five
minutes. Smallwood's attorney, Paul
Taggart, said he has not decided
whether to appeal.
The maximum penalty for gam
bling in Maryland is a $1,000 fine
and a one-year prison term.
Detectives testified they saw Small
wood accepting a 25-tent bet from j
a laborer February 25 on a Bethesda !
construction job. They said Small
wood identified himself as an em- j
ploye of William (Jewboy) Dietz,
described by police as a well-known
Washington gambler.
Judge Stedman Prescott told Small
wood he “should have made a clean
breast of it” and described the trial
as a “waste of time.” He added
that Maryland courts “intend to
keep you Washington men away
from here.”
Earlier Judge Prescott overruled
a motion to dismiss the case on the
ground that the arrest was illegal.
Mr. Taggart contended detectives
searched Smallwood before arresting
him.

Laurence Benet, 85,
Inventor of Hotchkiss
Machine Gun, Dies
Laurence Vincent Benet, 85, re
tired internationally known me
chanical engineer and inventor of
the Hotchkiss machine gun, died
this morning in
Georgetown
Hospital * after
an illness of two
weeks. He lived
at 2101 Connec
ticut avenue
N.W.
Mr. Benet was
an uncle of the
two famous
writers, Stephen
Vincent Benet,
who died in 1943.
and William
Rose Benet.
The engineer
and inventor
Laurence Benet.
was with the Hochkiss Machine Gun
Co. in France from 1885 until his
retirement as vice president and
managing director in 1936.
After his retirement he was made
honorary president of the company
and returned to Washington with
his wife, the late Mrs. Margaret Cox
Benet, granddaughter of Col. John
Cox, one of Georgetown’s early
Mayors. She died in 1941.
Served in Two Wars.
On his return from France, Mr.
Benet predicted war. He said that
armament manufacturers did not
want war because embargoes restrict
shipments to all but the domestic
market and special taxes eat up
normal profits.
During the Spanish - American
War, he served as an ensign in
the Navy and during World War I
he was with the American ambu
lance and hospital service In
France. During the last two years
of the war he was a member of
the advisory staff of the American
Expeditionary Force Purchasing
Board. Except for his return to
America during these wars, he lived
in France. Both he and his wife
spoke fluent French.
Born in West Point. N. Y., ne was
the son of Gen. Stephen Benet
former chief of ordnance on duty
for many years at the War Depart
ment. Young Laurence prepared for
Yale at the Emerson Institute here
and was graduated in mechanical
engineering from Yale in 1884. The
following year he went to France
with the Hotchkiss company and in
vented their famous machine gun.
Mr. Benet stanchly defended the
munitions manufacturers through
out his long career. In his opinion,
the theory that wars are fomented
and that armament is stimulated by
munitions manufacturers is a dream
of the pacifists.
“Arms manufacturers are not in
any way responsible for war,’’ he
said on his return here from France
in 1936. “They merely supply their
various nations with the means of
defending their existence, which is
the principal function of a govern
ment.”
Held Many Decorations.
It was his belief that to exist and
carry out its purpose, a government
must protect its boundaries in order
to protect the lives and property
and to insure the happiness of its
people.
Mr. Benet was a past president
and a gold medalist cf the Ameri
can Chamber of Commerce in
France and was a member of the
American Aid Society.
Among his decorations by various
governments were the Grand Officer
of the French Legion of Honor,
French Medal of Honor, Commander
of the Military Order of Christ (Por
tugal), Commander of the Order of
the Crown (Romania), and Officer
of Osmania (Turkey).
American organizations to which
he belonged include American So
ciety of Mechanical Engineers, Yale
Engineering Association, Naval In
stitute, Military Order of Foreign
Wars, Army Ordnance Association,
United Veterans of the Spanish
American War, American Geo
graphical Society and St. Augus
tine’s Historical Society. He was;
also a member of the Metropolitan j
Club and the Army and Navy Club
here and the University Club of
New York.
Funeral services will be held at
2:30 p.m. Monday in St. John’s
Episcopal Church, 801 Sixteenth
street N.W. Burial will be in Ar
lington National Cemetery.

things,” he said.

growing portion of the county ad
jacent to the District of Columbia.”

Father Flanagan Rites
Set Today With Burial
In Boys Town Chapel
By the Associated Press
BOYS TOWN, Nebr., May 21.—
Youth of all r#tces and creeds paid
last respects today to their great
friend and benefactor—Msgr. Ed
ward J. Flanagan, founder and di
rector of world-famous Boys Town.
Dowd Memorial Chapel on the
grounds of the haven for homeless
and neglected boys was prepared to
receive the body after two solemn
masses of requiem said by priests;
of the Omaha archdiocese.
The body of Father Flanagan,
who once said "I have yet to find a
single boy who wants to be bad,”
will rest in a sarcophagus in the
northeast corner of the chapel.
Asked Burial in Chapel.
The Rev. Edmund C. Walsh,
acting director of Boys Town, said
Father Flanagan had asked to be
buried in the chapel “so I can be
near the boys and they can come
and visit me.”
A marble slab, on which is en
graved “Father Flanagan, founder
of Boys Town, lover of Christ and
man,” July 13, 1886-May 15, 1948,”
will seal the stone sarcophagus.
Father Walsh disclosed early to
day that since the body was brought
home from Berlin, where Father
Flanagan died, more than 15,000
persons had filed past the bier.
The body of Father Flanagan,
attired in the robes of a monsignor,
lay in a solid bronze casket, opened
full length.
Started Boys’ Home in 1917.
The sentiment of the 450 boys at
the home was expressed by Eddie
Dunn, the 29th mayor of Boys'
Town, who called Father Flanagan
“our greatest friend and bene
factor.”
President Truman termed him
"an ever faithful friend of Ameri
can youth and youth everywhere.”
Father Flanagan, who would have
been 62 on July 13, was ordained to
the priesthood in 1912. In 1917, at
Omaha, where he was an assistant
pastor, he borrowed money, took
over an abandoned house and made
a home for five boys. In the suc
ceeding 35 years 5,500 boys have
found a home in Boys Town.
Subcommittee Votes
D. C. Barber Bills
Bills to require doctors to be
citizens of the United States before
they can practice here and to in
crease barbers’ fees were approved
today by the House District Sub
committee on Health, Education
and Recreation.
During brief hearings on the
measures, Health Officer George C.
Ruhland told the subcommittee that
the Commission on the Healing Arts
Practice Act, of which he is sec
retary, favored the citizenship re
quirement.
The barber bill would raise five of
the various fees barbers must pay.
The fee for the examination of an
applicant for a certificate as a
registered barber would be increased
from $5 to $20; registered barbers
would have to pay $10 instead of
$5 to get their certificate renewed,
and $15 Instead of $5 to get expired
certificates restored.
Registered barber apprentices
would have to pay $15 instead of
$5 for their certificate examination
and registered barber apprentices
would have to pay $10 instead of $5
for the restoration of an expired
certificate. Other fees would remain
the same.
In another action, the subcom
mittee approved a bill to provide
for a license to be issued to Samuel
O. Burdette, to practice chiropractic.
Mr. West explained that Mr.
Burdette would have been entitled
to a license under the healing arts
act if he had applied in time, and
that the bill was necessary because
his application did not come in be
fore the time limit.

$930 Greek Aid Fraud
Here Is Charged to Suspect
Police In Waltham, Mass., today
were holding a man suspected of
soliciting $930 from a hotel waiter
here on pretense of collecting funds
to send mules and horses to aid
|the Greek people.
District police said the suspect,
Forrest A. Cook, had refused to
waive extradition and was being
held in $2,000 bond on a false pre
! tense charge.
Cook, according to police, met
Socrates Cockinias of 613 Maryland
I avenue N.E., who was working at a
hotel here, in March. 1947. Dis
playing stationery on which he w-as
listed as president of the “Allied
Horse and Mule Commission (Live
stock),” Cook was accused of having
influenced Mr. Cockinias to collect
money from Greek residents and or
ganizations here to send horses and
mules to Greece.
In April Mr. Cockinias gave Cook
a check for the money he had
raised, police reported, but never
saw him again. Checking the local
UNRRA, Mr. Cockinias found Cook
had worked for the organization
from November, 1946, until he re
signed on February 17, 1947.
Mr. Cockinias was quoted as tell
ing police he had reimbursed the
contributors himself.
Police said Cook had cashed the
check as head of the “commission.’'
