ALEXANDRIA,, Va, March 81
Motion picture operators, who
opened their theaters here yesterday
in violation of the Virginia Sunday
blue law" apparently will be
immune from prosecution.
Thornton J. Goods, inspector for
the Virginia Department of Labor
and Industry, the official who
initiates prosecutions under the
ancient blue law, said today he would
not ask prosecution of the six opera
tors who opened yesterday.
Commonwealth Attorney Albert V.
Bryan said Saturday he could not
honestly or ethically'' prosecute
Alexandria motion picture operators
who operate on Sunday during the
existing national emergency. Mr..
Bryan said there is no specific
statute in Virginia forbidding oper-
alton of movie houses on Sunday.
Seven years ago movie operators
opened on Sunday and were i'm
mediately arrested. An Alexandria
court found the operators guilty of
violating the blue law and assessed
SIS fine.
Most organizations, including the
City Council, have approved opening
of the citys movie houses for enter
tainment of selectees and soldiers
from Fort Belvoir and other posts
The Alexandria Ministerial Associa-
ton has opposed the move.
Police said they received no COM
plants yesterday.

BIodensburg Jail
Is Torn Down
For Park Area

The notorious two-cell Bladens-
burg (MdD Jail has been razed by
c. c. c. workers under the direction
of the Maryland-N National Capital
Park and Planning Commission as
part of the development of a park
area along the Eastern Branch of
the Anacostia River.
Park and Planning Commission
officials said the area is being cleared
of underbrush in order to provide
a picnic site.
The Jail, built 38 years ago, was
taken over by Prince Georges County
in 1914 to hold prisoners in the
Metropolitan Area.
1t was used as a county jail until
1881, when a new Jail at Hyattsville
was completed. According to George
G. Wiseman, jailer, 1926 was the
jail's biggest year, when 423 pris-
onerS, mostly prohibition law vio-
latorS. were confined there at vari-
GUS times.
During the investigation of the
famous Brady bombing case a sus-
pect was held in the Jail for two
days. The Jail was in a portion of
Bladensburg subjected to floods.

that mass production in the future

Hogan Is Second And Harri-

Play Of Tourney
BY RUSS NEWLAND

OAKLAND, Cal, Jan. 1877
Leonard Dodson,, COLTS 'oomph"
man from the Ozarks, won the
triple tie play-off for $1,000 top
money in the Oakland open $500
tournament today-and made good
his boast he had never been beaten
in a battle after the regular com
petition.
The one-time Springfield, Mo-,
caddy, now professional at Kan
sas City, carded a uncover par II
lon the rain-soaked Sequoyah
course to outscore. Ben Hogan of
White Plains, N. Y, and E. j.
Dutch Harrison, of Little Rock,
Ark. Hogan posted a "a and Har-
rison a rs.
Tied at 276 for the regular r.
hole competition which ended yes
terday, the three started out in
drenchirI rain and a wind that
whipped umbrellas inside out.
Some 200 spectators followed the
players in weather that drove
waterfowl to cover.
Greens were flooded and the fair
ways were soft al mush. The spec
tators finally gave up and rush
ed for shelter.
Despite such adverse conditions
Dodson trudged through the rain
to turn in a round that won ac-
claim from all. He played first IL
holes in exactly par, eventually
going a stroke over on the 18th
and 18th but finishing with a SEN
sational birdie 4 on the 18th when
even a par or bogy would have
won for him.
He was out in IS and home in
36, compared to the 35-35-70 re-
quirements called standard golf
for the course.
Hogan, leading money winner Of
1910 and the favorite as the three
teed off, carded a one under par
"a for a stroke lead over Dodson
on the first nine, then fell to pieces
on the incoming stretch to take a
40.
The rain ran down lanky Har-
rison's neck, until he looked like
something from another world. It
washed his putting touch complete
ly away. He missed a couple at two
feet and another at three feet. His
score for the day was 1888.
Hogan pocketed $3.50 and a dunk
ing such as he got before.
Harrison hauled down $3.50 for
flirting with pneumonia.
1t was the fourth time that Dod-
son won an important play : off.
In 1886 he defeated Harry Cooper
in a post-tournament scramble to
take the st. Petersburg, Fla, open.
The next year he captured the
Hollywood, Fla, open by outscor-
ing Horton Smith and in the same
season he disposed of Bruce Coul-
tart in similar fashion in the Phil
adelphia open.
After the three-way tie yesterday.
Dodson assured sports writers that
winning play-offs was meat on the
table" for him.
II just know I can't lose" He
proved it today in the worst rain
