Pretty good for a beginner, I
think.
Otis Woodland asked me not to
publish his score this week, said
probably he would do better next
week-well, it seems as though our
public will be fooled again.
Don Brady and Charlie Noble
seemed to have gotten together on
the same point Of play. Both were
complaining about their drives not
going very far. Someone suggested
they try hitting the ball instead of
missing it-these golfers!
Wonder what has become of such
fellows as "Bill" Gardner, DR..
Weber, Ralph Gardner, Howard
Logan, Squire Neal, Leo Bohannon,
and John Thomas? Don't ask me!
Perhaps they are taking private
lessons some place-anyway the
old Tattler would certainly like to
see these gentlemen on the green
they are all good.
Play will be held over at Keller
course next Sunday. Perhaps will
have some real scores to publish
next week; ask DR.. Crump what
his score was last week-he played
Keller-no, that's wrong, only one
guess.

GOLF DIvOTs
By Jimmy Lee

The Twin City Golf Club will
hold it's monthly meeting Saturday,
May 1, at the Phyllis Wheatley
House at 8 p. m. The president is
anxious that all new and old men,
bers will be present since plans
will be made for the clubs monthly
tournaments.
Sunday found most of the boys
playing the Armour course in Min
neapolis. Those playing were
Jimmy and Percy Hughes, DR.. Will
bert Wright and son, Otis Woodland,
Johnny Williams, Jimmy Murray,
Tommy Donaldson, ''Don" Brady,
Charles Noble and the "Tattler"-
oh, yes, Bert Smith was there, too
Sammy Reed continues his swell
play. Sunday he shot an easy SO
over the tough Keller course. It
seems as though these Reeds are
too good to handle, one in football
and one in golf-oh, well, let the
other boys worry about that.
Speaking of Fbirdies," Mr..
Harvey Moss scored a real birdie
last week while playing at Armour.
He drove his tee shot in the trees
on the tenth hole-the ball failed
to come down to dear old Mother
Earth. When the tree was reached,
the ball was found lodged in a

COURT
FOR RB0NDQU|z

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Dec.
ia special session of the Prince
Georges County Circuit Court will
probably be called next month for
the trial of the nine men indicted
Thursday by the county grand
jury in connection with the al
legged police-bonding racket uncov-
cred by attorneys of the keystone
Club, Judge Joseph C. Mattingly
revealed this morning.
Although a January term has
not been definitely set, court at
taches here express a belief that
the presence of 49 indictments on
the dockets in addition to several
other important matters for court,
notably cases testing the constitu-
tionality of the county Police
Court and police force, will make a
special term a necessity.
The nine men implicated in the
bonding racket, seven county police,
professional bondSman and a
justice Of the peace, posted bond
of 81 900 each before Brice Bowie,
clerk of the Circuit Court here
yesterday.

NAVY BIDS ASK
WAIVERS

Confirming reports of organized
opposition by manufacturers, a
number of bids opened by the
Navy Department contain requests
for exemptions from provisions of
the Walsh-Healy act, Navy Off
cials disclosed today.
The bids, examined yesterday,
were on Sc lots of steel plates, bars
angles and sheets aggregating
some 100000 pounds. The ma
terial is to be used for destroyer
repairs and construction.
At current market, Navy men
estimated the steel to be worth
around $500,000. No exemptions
were sought on galvanized steel,
probably, it was explained, be-
cause the amounts were less than
$4,000, and so were not involved
in the act.
give or six" companies made
bids on most lots, Navy spokesmen
said, and "a number" of demands
were made that the Walsh -Healy
stipulations be waived. These call
for a 40-hour maximum work
week, prevailing wage and no child
labor.
If the exemptions are to be oh,
tained, the Navy Department must
apply through the procurement
division of the Treasury Depart.
ment to the Labor Department
and satisfy the Secretary of Labor
that the exemptions are necessary
for public welfare.

mission and submission to Con

Commission members refused
to disclose details of the changes,
but it was learned that they
touch principally on the erection
of apartment buildings and oper-
alton of garages and gas stations
and in all likelihood will miti-
gate against the establishment
of enterprises such as the abat-
toir which is proposed for the
Northeast section.
Approval Given
Approval Of the zoning changes
came yesterday at a meeting Of
the commission attended by Hay.
land Bartholomew, city planner
from st. Louis; Alfred Bettman,
zoning expert from Cincinnati;
DR.. Charles Moore, chairman Of
the Fine Arts Commission, and
Capt. Hugh Dram, executive Of
ficer of the zoning Commission.

of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, who was also
present, promised to guide the
changes into legislation. Today's
final draft which is being drawn
up by Mr.. Bettman will be deliv-
cred to Senator King after the
Zoning Commission has examined
its details.
With Fine Arts Chairman
Moore concurring, the commits
sion also placed its stamp of ap-
proval upon a plan for the devel-
opment of Barney Circle and
upon a revised plan for a new

HUNT PRESSED
WITH SNOW
|NW00DS
Suspect in Matthews
Staying Believed in
Hiding Near Home

Snow falling in the woods around
Four Corners, Nd, today promised
either to help or hamper this
search of Montgomery county
authorities for William Reed, Is,
suspected of being one Of three
young men who murdered Elwood
Matthews, 68, well-to-do Burnt
Mills CMd) farmer on Novem-
ber 81.
Officers who have been beating
through the wooded section for
two days in the belief Reed is in
hiding there near his home, de-
clared the snow might assist them
in trailing footprints, but might
also serve to cover up any tracks.
It was rumored bloodhoundS
might be used.
Reed, only member of the Sus-
pected trio still at liberty, escaped
from an ambush around his home
on Thursday, when Montgomery
County mobilized every available
policeman to track him down.
One Confession Claimed
Accused as second member Of
the gang, Lawrence Gingell, %, Of
Kensington, Md, continued today
to deny participation in the cold
hearted Staying of ElWood Mat"
thews, IS, although he has been
implicated by an alleged confes-
sion of w. Joseph Kirby, 20, who
is said by Charleston, (W. Va0.
authorities to have admitted be-
ing one of the three present at
the murder.
Kirby, Charleston police declare,
said the trio robbed and beat Mat
thews near Four Corners on No
vember 81, dragged him to the
Burnt Mills dam on the northwest
branch of the Anacostia River
near the Colesville Pike, and tried
to drown him. Reed shot Mat
thews twice through the head as
he was struggling in the water,
Kirby is quoted as confessing.
Kirby was captured after a gun
battle with police near Charleston.
Gingell was picked up by District
police day before yesterday as he
was attempting to flee on foot to
Virginia across the Highway
Bridge.
Denied by Gingell
Although his mother, Mrs. James
Joseph Gingell, widow with IL
children, pleaded with her son to
tell the truth" Gingell has con.
sistently denied any connection
with the Matthews murder. Taken
to the scene at the creek yester-
day, Gingell is quoted by police
as saying:
eyes, 1 know this creek, but
that's about all"
He told his mother:
MAMA, didn't do it."
Waving extradition from the
District, Gingell was taken to the
Rockville Jail and locked up on q
formal murder charge.
Besides the Staying of Mat
thews, who is said to have left
$4,000 in a bank although he
lived in an unpretentious farm
home, the trio is wanted for
questioning in connection with
a holdup and murder in West
Virginia and a series of robberieS
in Montgomery County.

T0CURB RENT
'G0UG|NG'
Situation a Disgrace
In D. c., Declares
Rep. Nichols

Charging that rents are "more
than exorbitant" in the District
Representative Jack Nichols CD,
Of Oklahoma, a member of the
House District Committee, today
promised to give his whole-hearted
support to any legislation provid.
ing a curb on Washington rental
prices.
Mr.. Nichols said he himself
would sponsor a bill to prevent
"rent gouging" in Washington, but
declared that he has never seen
any kind of legislation that would
prevent landlords from exploiting,
adding:
Legislation along this line is
not usually effective, but If any
body can present a workable pro-
posal, I will be only too happy to
support it. In fact, 1 will do
everything / can to see that 1t
is enacted"
COMMISSION USELESS
Establishment of a rent commits
sion is useless, Representative
Nichols said. The commission soon
comes under the control of the
landlords themselves and is used
as a vehicle for increasing rather
than decreasing rents. He added:
"The situation in Washington
Is really q disgrace. Nowhere in
the United States are there such
outrageous prices asked-and re-
ceived-fOr rent"
Letters are already being re-
ceived by the House District Com
mittee from Washingtonians COM
planning not only about high rents,
but increase in rentals from time
to time.
Calls for Action
One letter received today pointed
out that the writer's rent had been
boosted in recent months, and
asked for some kind of action by
Congress.
Several members of Congress al
ready have announced that they
will take steps in the next session
to bring down rents, among them
the proposal of Representative Al
fred F. Better CDD, of New York,
providing for Federal construction
of an apartment house specifically
for Congressman.
