Mrs. Robinson
Clashes With
Mrs. Miller
BY GINO SINH

DJ OALNO SANAA
For today at least. the Women's
District Tennis League tourna-
ment in progress at the Rock
Creek courts holds the spotlight
though the men are battling in
one Of the major masculine events
Of the season, the revived Middle
Atlantic singles, at Edgemoor
Club.
The reason why the female Of
the specie grabs the center Of the
stage is the match between Mrs.
Margaret Carspecken Robinson,
City of Washington champion,
and Dorette Miller, whom all
local women titleholders must
beat before they can crown their
lovely heads with the champions
tiara.
Mrs. Miller is one Of those eter-
nal tennis bridesmaids who wor-
ries the ultimate champion no end
before succumbing in either the
final or semifinal.
It is seldom that she faces such
a formidable opponent as Mrs.
Robinson in the quarterfinalS.
Mrs. Miller rates only the slightest
chance of victory but Mrs. Robin
son will be hard pressed all the
way.

Neithe1 Mrs. Robinson or Mrs.
Miller had difficulty advancing

over Edith McEley, 81, 60, and

Machine Gun Precision
Playing with the precision and
devastating efficiency of ma
chine-gun, Ralph McElvenny, law
yer, and Gil Hunt, former ma:
tional indoor champion, decked
their perspiring brows with the
Middle Atlantic doubles tennis
crown yesterday when they blast
ed Dooly Mitchell and Tom Mar
key off the courts, 8-6, 6-1,
Ga, at the Army and Navy
courts.
Mitchell and Markey fought
back valiantly, but it was like
trying to stem Niagara Falls with
a fly-swatter after the first act.
It was the second time McEl-
venny has held the title, winning
last year with Barney Welsh.

Impeachment Bomb Proves
Dud When Governor

TRENTON, N. j., January 2l.-The
impeachment bomb which sputtered

Hauptmann turned out today to have
been dud
The Governor. whose 30-day respite
for the condemned Lindbergh baby
killer stirred his foes to talk Of i'm
peachment, appeared at joint session
of the Legislature last night, was
cordially received, and read a special
message on social security.
The Hauptmann case was not men
toned in either Senate or Assembly.
and the Democratic minority leaders
gave no hint that any open criticism
would be made Of the chief executive.
Hoffman's attitude on Hauptmann,
who would have been electrocuted last
Friday night except for gubernatorial
reprieve, was somewhat clearer today
after new explanation Of his interest
in the case.
Gov. Hoffman emphasized that his
reprieve action was in no sense to be
taken as an indicator of any belief
on his part that Hauptmann Is in
nocent.
Thinks Another Involved.
The Governor feels that some one
else was involved in the baby murder,
but he is ready to let whatever evidence
may develop speak for itself If the
evidence should point only to Haupt-
mann, then the Governor will no
longer interfere with the execution.
Hauptmann said through his coun-
sci, C. Lloyd Fisher, that he would be
glad to talk with either the Governor
or Attorney General David T. Wilentz
if they thought it would do any good.
Each Phase Held Covered.
One by one many OF the half-forgot-
ten phases Of the crime have been
brought before the Governor in new
dress, and one by one the State police
have reported each was thoroughly IN
vestigated and found to have no vital
bearing on the case.

ed the State police to revive their in

Friday he said he intended to do SO.

Insured Passenger May Have Invaded

"A passenger intent upor killing him.

that the suicide clauses in his insur-
ance policies would no. be invalidated
may have caused the ceath of himself
and 16 other persons in the crash OF
an American Airlines plain in Ark

latest theory held by some investiga-
tors of the crash.
The passenger, presumably de-
ranged, might have invaded the cock
pit of the Southerner, luxury airliner
as it passed over the swampy land OF
Arkansas, slugged both the pilot and
co-pilot and rode to death at 1876 miles
an hour when the plane crashed in
the murky darkness OF the bog.
It has been definitely established
that there was a third body with the
bodies of the pilot and co-pilot. found

Airlines, said in Chicago today that,

there was nothing. in his opinion, to
