BALTIMORE. Md. July 29-
Three Washington Junior players
and pair of the Capitals boy en-
trants still were in the running as
the annual Maryland State tennis
championships swung into its sec
ond day of play here today.
Bobby Bensinger, the defending
junior champion. and Bob Hall,
runnerup to him in the Washington
tournament last month, both were
in the quarter-fnals of their divi-
sion, while a third, Gary Schweitzer,
hoped to reach that round today.
Both Bensinger and Hall won two
matches yesterday without the loss
of a game, the former routing Fred
Lipnick and Marvin Shapiro and
the latter handing the same dose
to E. c. Jackson and John Sinush.
Schweitzer's only opponent was Bob
Fox, whom he defeated, 6-3, 6-3.
Bensinger was paired against
Chapman and Hall against New

Allison and Everett
May Play for D. {.
Tennis Crown

Attempts to get Wilmer Allison,
former national singles champion
now serving Uncle Sam here as a
commissioned officer in the Navy, to
play IN the annual District tennis
tournament starting Saturday at
Edgemoor Club were admitted today
by members of the committee.
Allison has said he would like to
play if he can find the time, but
has given no definite answer one
way or the other
The committee also has reason to
believe that Harris Everett, who
ended Barney Wesh's four-year
reign as the West Virginia open
champion last week at White Sui
phur Springs, may come here for the
event. Everett licked Don Leavens
in the semifinal round at White
Sulphur and then defeated Alex
Guerry, who had eliminated Welsh,
in the same round.
Although the tournament doesn't
start until Saturday. officials have
announced that entries will close at
6 pm. Thursday.
All applications should be sent to

Bass anglers had good fishing

midsummer. With temperatures

necessary energy to feed the lush

below that in the lower river.

Judge 10 Weigh Case
AGAINST Burch Before
Accepting Guilty Plea
Lawyer Indicted for Not
Registering as Nuzi Aide
Protests Against TrioI

Justice James W. Morris was to
consider further today the case of
Frank B. Burch, 67-year-old Akron
(Ohio) attorney and former member
of the State Senate, indicted here
on charges of failing to register with
the State Department as a German
agent after the jurist declined to
accept guilty plea yesterday.
Mr.. Burch told the court that he
never knew he was using German
money, but thought it was given by
patriotic American citizens as iso-
lationist aid. Further, he said, that
he is too old to 60 through a trial
and therefore wanted to plead
guilty.
Justice Morris said: Il shall have
10 be more fully advised of the facts
before I can accept plea of guilty
under these circumstances. What
is troubling me is whether mis-
take constitutes plea of guilty"
Unaware He Had to Register.
The jurist then asked opposing
counsel to furnish him with infor-
nation and directed the Justice De-
partment give him recommends
ton as to the penalty that should
be imposed, should Mr.. Burch finally
be allowed to plead guilty to the
indictment. Justice Morris indl-
Gated that he would consider the
case further in District Court to-
day.
Mr.. Burch's counsel pointed out
yesterday that on September "a he
had pied innocent to the indict-
ment, but was given time to change
his plea or make any other desired
legal moves. His client, he said,
now desired to plead guilty.

There is no question but that l

consul. I did not register. l was
unaware I had to register. After
consultation with my counsel, have
decided to plead guilty"
DlmCuH TO belleVe.
William Power Maloney, special
assistant to the Attorney General,
said that Mr.. Burch had been a
member of the Ohio bar for 40
years and a member of the State
Senate and was more fully aware
of these activities than an ordinary
citizen might be. The prosecutor
said that Mr.. Burch testified before
the grand jury that he received
$4,000 from Karl Kapp, German
consul at Cleveland, but thought the
money was collected from patriotic
group of American citizens. Mr..
Maloney said that Mr.. Burch. pur-
chased large number of books and
pamphlets and distributed these
under the direction of the German
consul and that under the Foreign
Agents Registration Act, it was
immaterial whether he knew where
the money came from.
Mr.. Maloney asserted that I'VE

like these" Mr. Burch would accept

us must do the more tedious work
which, after all, is just as important

All defense placements are made
through the bureau, manned by a
staff of 10 persons, all but two of
them volunteers. One bottleneck in
the program at present, Mrs. Bern
ton reported, has been the inability
of agencies which call on the bureau
for volunteers to train them in large
numbers.
Among the hundreds of names
sent out as a source from which the
agencies may draw workers have
been those of 1000 women who
volunteered for motor corps service,

$50 who will help with Girl Scout
