Transit Snarl Called Wont Ever.
E. Cleveland Giddings, vice pres
ident of the Capital Transit Co.,
called the city-wide traffic snarl
"the worst this city has had in
the history of Capital Transit.
We were positively frozen in,” he
declared.
The company was notified by
the Budget Bureau, which had
its warning from Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp, that Govern
ment employes were to be released
early. Mr. Keneipp made this
recommendation early in the
afternoon.
But the company was practically
helpless to advance its schedules,
because it was too late to notify
drivers not yet on duty. And
when the men could be reached,
many found they could not get to
work, Mr. Giddings explained.
The Maryland and Virginia
commuter bus lines from 3 p.m.
on almost ceased service from
downtown Washington. Block
long queues of dripping citizens
stood waiting for as long as two
hours for buses stranded else
where in lines of traffic.
Keneipp Says He’s Seen Worse.
Mr. Keneipp denied that the
tieup was the city’s worst.
1 “I’ve seen it before just as bad
—a year or two ago we had one
even worse.” the traffic director
insisted.
He contended the mess would
have been even worse if many
Government employes hadn’t been
let out early, at his suggestion, so
the many who drive cars could
get them out of the way and home
before the main rush.
Mr. Keneipp said the city will
continue having such jams when
ever it has a snowstorm unless
more motorists buy chains. A lot
of them just refuse to take the
storm problem seriously, he as
serted.
Abandoned in Parkway.
Many storm-stranded motorists
still were picking up the pieces
today. Scores of cars were aban
doned along such thoroughfares
as Rock Creek Parkway when
they got stuck or ran out of gas.
The District Sanitation Depart
ment swung into action quickly.:
William A. Xanten, its director,
had m operation a total of about
70 snow removal units, mostly
sanders and sweepers. About 45
were supplied by his department
and the remainder by Capital
Transit.
They started work about noon
when it appeared the snowfall
was no mere flurry. The men were
mobilized rapidly and assigned to
the most troublesome areas. How
ever, in spite of their efforts, they
were hampered by stalled cars
and police reported that traffic
did not “level off” until late last
night.
The city’s dial telephone sys
tem-was heavily-affected, pratic
ularly between 3 and 5 o’clock,
thrgugh overloading. So many i
people were calling home to say
they’d be delayed, or seeking rides
from friends, that the system was
over taxed.
uciay averages a minute.
A spokesman for the Chesapeake
& Potomac Telephone Co. said the
storm itself was not responsible
for the trouble. The city’s news
papers and the transit company
received several hundred calls
alone. Much of the difficulty con
cerned getting dial tones for out
side calls", and the average delay
was about a minute.
Taxis were almost impossible to
get. Dispatchers, called on the
(telephone, said delays would be of
considerable time.
More than 225 service trucks
were placed in use by the Ameri
jcan Automobile Association to aid
letricken motorists, that organiza
tion reported.

By th« Associated Press
NEW YORK. Dec. 15—A de
fense attorney's clash with the
court enliyened the trial of Tallu
lah Bankhead's former secretary
yesterday as the actress waited in
the wings for a cue to testify.
General Sessions Judge Harold
A. Stevens, posing the threat of
a contempt citation, rebuked State
Senator Fred G. Moritt. defense
attorney for 59-year-old Mrs.
Evyleen R. Cronin.
Mrs. Cronin, maid-secretary to
Miss Bankhead until her arrest
last January, is charged with
raising the figures on the actress’s
checks.
The trial, which opened Mon
day, has quieted down since the
defense's allegation earlier this
week that Mrs. Cronin used the
money for ‘‘cocaine, booze and
sex" for the 48-year-old stage
screen-radio-television star.
A State prosecutor has denied
these statements, and Miss Bank
head angrily insists Mrs. Cronin
was trying to make her drop the
case.
Miss Bankhead, barred from the
courtroom Wednesday, spent most
of the day yesterday waiting in an
anteroom fbr a call to testify.

the ground. She was admitted to
Casualty Hospital and treated for
head cuts.
Women Suffer Fractures.
Mrs. Irene M. Mueller, 65. of
2609 Eurvance street. Silver
Spring, Md.. is in Sibley Hospital
with a possible fracture of the
left hip. She told police she was
walking out of the Investment
Pharmacy, Fifteenth and K streets
N.W., when she slipped and fell.
About 5:30 o’clock last night
Mrs. Fannie Cummings, 33, col
ored, of 1200 Sixth street N.W.
suffered injuries that sent her to
Georgetown Hospital, where she
was treated for a broken right
leg. She slipped on the sidewalk
in the 5200 block of Wisconsin
avenue N.W.
A Fairfax County school bus
and an automobile collided at the!
height of the snowstorm yester-|
day, but police said no one had'
to be hospitalized. None of the
children riding in the bus was in

Vienna, a passenger in the car,
But for the third day, her ex
pected witness stand appearance
failed to materialize.
Instead, Mr. Moritt vigorously
cross-examined a State witness,
Bernard Dilgon. a district attor
ney's accountant.
During the cross examination
Judge Stevens clashed twice with
Mr. Moritt, finally telling the at
torney :
“I warned you ai. the bench that
a continued course of conduct
such as you indulge in will result
in your being held in contempt
by the court.
"I now admonish you if this
type of conduct you indulge in
continues, the court will, at the
proper time, take action.”
Judge Stevens said Moritt was
seeking by roundabout question
ing to get in evidence ruled out by
the court.
Mr. Moritt moved for a mis
trial after the clash, contending
the judge had prejudiced the jury.
The motion was denied.
Mrs. Cronin, white-haired for
mer vaudeville hoofer, was indict
ed last January cm 32 counts of

Judge Stevens adjourned the
trial until Monday.
suffered a cut on the leg. The
collision occurred at Route 123
and Old Courthouse road near
Vienna.
Fairfax schools started letting
out about an hour early because
of the weather.
Traffic was tied up along High
way No. 1, Shirley highway and
Lee boulevard in Arlington for sev
eral hours during the evening rush
hour. The steep cut-off roads
from Shirley highway were
jammed with cars that couldn't
make the slippery grades.
At least half a dozen nearby
Virginia motorists got home with
the help of an Air Force colonel
driving a jeep station wagon. He
pushed the stalled cars up the
Shirley highway cutoff to Leesburg
pike, making repeated trips down
the hill until the road was cleared
of stuck cars.
Maryland 8tate police reported
an eight-hour tieup on No. 1 high
way between Washington and Bal
timore. The worst spot was be
tween Waterloo and Elkridge.
Traffic was blocked completely
on Route 240 near Hyatts town for
several hours last night as two
tractor trailers skidded sideways
across the highway.
Police in Maryland and Virginia
reported all major roads open
from midnight on after the rain
and rising temperatures melted
the slippery snow. Police said
there still were some slippery spots,
however, and asked motorists to
drive cautiously.

Senate to Get Report
On Record of Beck
Early Next Month
The Senate District Committee
probably will have a report early
in January on a Kansas City (Mo.)
bipartisan investigation into the
record of Earl W. Beck, President
Truman's selection for District Re
corder of Deeds.
Gerard P. van Arkel, committee
counsel, said he believes he and
Robert Albrook, aide to Senator
Cass, Republican, of South Da
kota, who conducted the joint in
jury, can agree on a single report
of the facts.
The nomination of Mr. Beck,
which President Truman sent,, to
the Senate, actually died with the
end of the first session of the 82nd
Congress. Unless President Tru
man sends it up again during the
(next session, there will be nothing
for the District Committee to con
sider.
The committee ordered a fur
ther inquiry, at Mr. Beck's request,
after it had refrained from acting
on the nomination.
30 Witnesses Interviewed.
"We interviewed about 30 wit
nesses in four days of informal
talks at our hotel in Kansas City,"
Mr. van Arkel explained. "But
we did not come to any definite
conclusions for a report to the
District committee. We are not
planning to make any definite
recommendations.”
The investigators are awaiting
the transcript of hearings con
ducted 11 years ago by the Kansas
City School Board on.demands for
the ouster of Mr. Beck from his
job as head of the Jackson County
Home for Negro Boys and Girls.
[Mr. Beck later resigned from the
post.
These hearings have to be trans
lated from stenographers’ notes,
into an official record. Mr. van
Arkel said he expects the record
here in about a week or 10 days.
Still Hopes to Get Post.
Mr. Beck, nominated to the
District post to succeed Marshall
L. Shepard, who resigned, told re
porters in Kansas City, after the
’inquiry, that he still hopes to be
confirmed.
Mr. van Arkel, in Kansas City,
had said Mr. Beck was "not the
bad actor in the welfare agency
post that had been suggested by
earlier reports to the District com
mittee.” He added, however,
I there was no evidence the nominee
had any special qualifications for
the job.
Mr. Albrook left Kansas City for
a visit in his home State and plans
to return to Washington shortly
before Congress reconvenes in
January, Mr. van Arkel said.

Mayflower Hotel Fire Laid
To Chicagoan's Negligence
1 A Chicago businessman was
: charged with negligently setting
a fire last night after firemen
broke into his suite at the May
flower Hotel and found him un
conscious near a burning foam
I rubber sofa.
William L. Nichols, 47, elected
to forfeit $25 collateral on the
charge, police reported.
E. A. Eldred, executive assist
ant manager, said the fire was
discovered at 7:30 p.m. when
smoke started pouring through a
; ventilator.
Mr. Nichols was treated at
Emergency Hospital and later at
Gallinger before he was taken to
the third precinct to post col
lateral.
The fire evidently was started
by an overlooked cigarette, police
said.
Price Controls Ending
On Defense Materials
ly th« Associated Press
Price controls end next Wednes
day on certain materials used in
defense production.
The Office of Price Stabilization
said it hopes, by exempting them
from controls, to spur domestic
output of antimony ores and con
centrates, graphite foundry fac
ings, synthetic crystals and soap
stone and serpentine dimension
building stones.
Slight price increases expected
can be absorbed by manufacturers,
OPS said. Their products remain
under control.
The same order lifts ceilings on
virtually all acid grade fluorspar
commercially usable in making
hydrofluoric acid.
Ceilings Will Exempt
Some Union Benefits,
Wage Board Agrees
By tht Associated Press
NEW YORK. Dec. 15.—The
Wage Stabilization Board has
agreed to exempt certain union
won health and welfare benefits
from existing wage ceilings, Na
than P. Feinsinger, the WSBi
chairman, says.
However, Mr. Feinsinger adds,!
the plan must be approved by
Economic Stabilizer Roger L.
Putnam.
Mr. Feinsinger disclosed the
plan at a news conference here
last night. He said he was hope
ful Mr. Putnam would accept it
and added that some 600 pending
cases before the WSB can be dis
posed of if the plan is approved.
The WSB now permits wage in
creases of up to 13 per cent over
January, 1950, levels. Certain
"fringe” benefits, like paid vaca
tions and shift differentials, have
been permitted without offsetting!
the allowable wage adjustment.
However, health and welfare j
plans, as well as pensions, were
not considered outside the wage
adjustment. Mr. Feinsinger em
phasized yesterday that pensions!
still are excluded in the proposed
regulations designed to stabilize
health and welfare benefits.
The status of pensions, like that
of commissions, is still being con
sidered by the WSB.
Mr. Feinsinger said the health
and welfare benefits piercing the
wage ceiling must be won by the
union in collecting bargaining and
must meet certain WSB standards
outlined in the new plan.
Details of the standards were
not disclosed.
Mr. Feinsinger, however, said
he believed that standards are in
accord with 90 per cent of the
health-welfare plans now in exist
ence.
If the WSB decided a health
welfare plan does not measure up
to the standards, Mr. Feinsinger
said, a party still can petition for
approval. He said the WSB will
have 30 days to check a plan
against the standards. t
The WSB chairman said the
ruling would provide higher than
13 per cent package increases, but
he did not estimate how much
of a raise would develop.
Any plan in effect before last
January 26 can be continued, he
said.
Stock Market Idles

Trading came to an estimated

Sidelights on Snowstorm
The fretting and fuming over
' transit delays soon gave way to a
friendly spirit among those on the
stalled streetcars and buses yes
terday.
On one Friendship Heights car,
which took 4*,4 hours to reach its
destination, the driver realized
that food was fast becoming a ne
cessity. He sent the passengers to
the nearest restaurant and, in sev
eral instances, paid for their sand
wiches and coffee.
When they returned, the pas
sengers carried out another idea.
They took turns at standing, so
everybody in the crowded car had
a chance to sit part of the time.
The car took two hours to travel
from Pennsylvania avenue and
Eleventh street N.W. to Wisconsin
avenue and M streets N.W., and
another 2*4 hours to go the rest
of the w'ay to the District line.

The storm didn’t even spare E.
Cleveland Giddlngs, vice president
of the Capital Transit Co. He
wanted to board a streetcar at
Wisconsin and P streets N.W., to
go to his home in McLean Gar
dens, a mere 25 minutes away.
This was at 5:15 p.m.
Car after car, loaded to capac
ity, passed him by. He went back
to the office and checked in with
the dispatcher to find out how
things were going elsewhere. Then
he tried to catch a car again. No
luck, so he went back to the dis
Once more he tried, for
half an hour. Still no luck. He
took time out to eat, had a 30
minute chat with a neighborhood
grocer and finally got home at
8:45 p.m.

Weather conditions last night
forced a quick change of plans at
a wedding ceremony at Calvary
Methodist Church, Arlington, Va„
as the bridegroom was 50 minutes
late at the church and plane
flights to New York were canceled.
The organist, an usher and the
bridegroom all were caught in the
Georgetown traffice tieup. The
honeymooners spent the night at!
the Hotel Statler here rather than;
in New York, as planned.
The storm, of course, swamped
newspaper switchboards. But to
ward evening, there were fewer
men and more women callers. The
wives had started checking on the
husbands who were so late getting
home.

In between coffee on a Georgia
avenue streetcar, a woman pas
senger pointed out that the time
limit on her transfer, had expired
because the car had been delayed
for hours. But the driver reas
sured her. "Don’t worry, madam,”
he said. "We’ll get you home
anyway. All transfers are still
good.”
Honoring of expired transfers
during the storm was general
practice by drivers of both street
cars and buses.

| The body of Mrs. Dorothy M.
Sowder, 26-year-old mother of
(two boys, was discovered yester

While Mrs. Sowder was at work

In Kentucky Vice Raid
•y th* Associated frets
NEWPORT, Ky.. Dec. 15.—A
score of well-armed State troopers
burst Into the brothel and gam
bling rooms of the Hy-Dee-Ho
Club at nearby Wilder late last
night and arrested 43 startled men
and women.
The clubs is situated between
the Latin Quarter and the Club
Manana, where State police made
vice raids last August 31, and is
almost within a stone’s throw of
either place. This area was cited
by the Kefauver crime committee
several months ago as teeming
with vice and gambling.
Among the first arrested was
Wilder Town Marshal James Har
ris, who was booked on a charge
of unlawful assembly.
The troopers swarmed out all
over the building before the cus
tomers and spectators realized the
raid was in process. While one
group broke up a card and dice
game downstairs, another group
ran up to the second and third
floors, where they arrested 11
women on charges of prostitution.
Nine men, including a soldier, a
sailor and three cab drivers, were
arrested with the women and
charged with unlawful assembly.
Lt. James Hughes said 10 men
were charged with gaming. The
remainder were charged with un
lawful assembly and all were re
