The Maryland Beekeepers As.
ISOLATION held its first prewar get
together at Berwyn Heights yester.
day, and the members competed in
their traditional contest OF bee.
catching with bare hands.
The air was a-buzz with bees al
the contestants gathered about q
hive in the yard of George j
Abrams, apiarist at the University
Of Maryland.
The reporter was frightened at
bees zooming past his ear and
crawling over his lapels but the
nonchalance Of the score or more
OF beekeepers witnessing the con-
test caused a congregational cour-
age to prevail.
Why don't they sting?" the re-
porter asked.
These bees are so disorganized
and confused they don't know what
to do said Harold L. Kelly Of Sill
yer Spring, president of the asso-
citation. They have been wet down
and smoked out and now the men
are able with bare hands and no
masks to break up the combs of an
old hive and transfer the colony
to q new hive"
Ethan Alien Andrews Of Balti-
more offered to wear a beard of bees.
He took the tray holding the trans
ferred colony from the hive and
held 1t against his chin.
Mr.. Andrews is a spare, bald man.
Soon both his ears were covered
with bees and he had a fine burn
side on one cheek but the colony
would not cluster on his chin. Mr..
Andrews scooped up handfuls of the
bees and dropped them on his shin

q Dispositions Frayed.
Not selling is frustrating work,
and statesmen are trying desperately
to preserve their dispositions for the
day on which they again can seek
business in the prewar no-holds-
barred fashion. Those in the, busi-
ness for many years now are
plagued by the Remember me,
Jack?" pleas of the contacts" they
took pains to preserve when cars
were plentiful - when q salesman
swore a new beauty was good for 10
years but was back to badger the
customer year later.
The reporter received No. 3, and
no special promises, from the friend
ly fellow who sold him his present
transportation in 1S41.
Meanwhile. automobiles are being
built and some are reaching Wash
ingtonians. r.
$500 Titles Issued.

his chin. But they would not take
hold there. . ...-.
Its too hot" said one OF the bee
keepers. I've seen him with q
beard OF bees right down to his
waist"
Once the reporter saw Mr.
Andrews vince. He said later that
bee stung his check.
Il try to keep my mouth closed
and breath easy when I am doing
that he said. I've had them 70
up my nose and sting me. I've
swallowed lot of bees. I don't
mind that. What I don't like is
their stinging my tongue and ton
suS."
In the bee-catching contest the
time was limited to minutes. The
contestants picked up the bees
with their right hand and deposited
them in an open mouthed bottle
held in the left hand. The bottle
must be capped with the bare left
hand but it's unusual for the bees
to sting that hand. It's the right
hand that Is vulnerable.
John Lindner of Cumberland and
Lloyd B. Shearman of Glenarm ad-
mitted stines and were disqualified.
Mr.. SheArman was very honest
about It.. He said, "Ouch!"
Mrs. Alice Crew Baker Of College
Park and Mr.. Andrews handled the
bees without getting stung. But
there was no doubt as to who had
won. The judges didn't even count
the bees In his three minutes,
Orion j. Virts of Brunswick ac-
quired almost bottle full and he
was awarded the prize, a new bee

Not selling is easier without SAM
pies. Therefore, those dealers who
have not received display models
have had fewer headaches. Tech
niques vary.
Techniques in Vogue.
Among those in vogue, a reporter,
interested in buying 4 new car,
found, are these:
l. The cards-on-the-table defense
Now, there isn't any sense in
my putting you on the list. I don't
know when I'll be able to give you
any encouragement. However, get

3. The get-along-without school
"Now's the time to sell your old

and prices are dropping on used
cars. Well give you a handsome
price and put you on the list for a
new one"
Reminiscent of Old Days.
The last is the only routine de-
livered with the old-fashioned sun
burst smile and backslap. It stirs
memories of the good old days in
which hyper-thyroid types gravf-

Auto SoIesmen Reverse Potter
ToAvoid Selling New Cars, e,e,
By Chris Mothisen

Not selling automobiles Is a big
business. It is business requiring
tact and persuasive power in large
measures. In fact, 1t calls for almost
as much talent as selling automo-
biles.
This negative form of salesman
ship is being practiced daily in the
showrooms of Washington dealers,
although more than $50 brand new
vehicles now are being delivered
weekly. These deliveries include
trucks. buses and taxicabs as well as
tprivate passenger cars.

and building and loan associations
had indorsed the legislation and
that business interests generally
had not opposed 1t.
Bankers sought the legislation
largely because 1t would give their
employees the benefit of the FIVE
day week most Government en-
ployes now enjoy. The banks are
unable to close without legal au-
thorization, it was explained, and
the present practice is a handicap
in recruiting employees.

|BeIafed Drives Listed
|0n Vital District Bills.
Caught in Log Jam

Belated drives for enactment of
a number of major District meas
ures. caught in the preadjournment
log jam. are to be resumed this week.
These include bills authorizing
construction of twin spans over the
Potomac to replace outworn High
way Bridge. granting a pay boost
to Washington school teachers
charting 10-year $4,000, 900 slum
redevelopment program and au-
thorizing Federal aid in provision
of 1,5O0-bed hospital center here.
The bridge bill, reported favorably
by the House Interstate Commerce
Committee, as recommended by its
Chapman Subcommittee, Is on the
House calendar and efforts to bring
it up for passage are to be made
tomorrow or Tuesday. Prompt con-
sideration has been promised by
Acting Chairman Hoey Of the Sen
ate District Committee as soon as
the House acts.
Teachers Pay Talks Due.
The teacher pay question is be-
fore the McCarran Subcommittee
of the Senate District Committee
Other business yesterday prevented
a conference with other committee
men, but Senator McCarran, Demo-
crat of Nevada, author of one of
the pending bills, said he would try
again early this week.
On this measure, the House Is
waiting for the Senate to act first.
Action on the sluum and hospital
bills, both passed months ago by
the Senate, has been deferred by
the House District Committee to
await the return to Washington of
Representative McGehee, Democrat
of Mississippi. The Mississippi pri-
maries will be staged Tuesday and
Mr.. McGehee is expected back here
in time for the postponed District
Committee meeting to be held Sat-
urday.
Action Promised on July 6.
When action was deferred nearly
a month ago, the committee pro-
missed action would be taken on the
July 6 meeting.
A session of the full Senate Dis
trict Committee is scheduled for
some day this week by Senator Hoey
At that time action may be taken on
the teacher pay bill if it is ready
and some other measures.
The controversial child day care
center bill Is going to conference
between the House and Senate. 1t
has been passed by both houses, but
the Senate specified that the centers
be operated by the Board of Public
Welfare, while extending the pro-
gram for but one year, whereas the
House version of the bill makes them
an integral part of the public schools
system, on permanent basis.
Head Fight for Bill.
At the request of Chairman Nc
MILAN of the House District Com
mittee, the House managers on the
bill will be himself, Representative
Healy, Democrat, of California, au-
thor of the measure, and Repre-
sentative Bean, Republican, OF
Maryland.
Other business permitting, Chair
man Mcmillan will ask House APP
proval tomorrow or Tuesday Of bills
authorizing appointment of three
additional deputies to the District
Register Of Wills and authorizing
District banks and building and
loan associations to close all day on
Saturdays. The latter bill was
passed yesterday by the Senate.

office.
This disclosure came in the wake
of reports that Police Capt. Beverly
Beach, former commanding officer
in No. l precinct, was transferred
to suburban No. precinct because
he too zealously harried clubs and
blishments in the downtown
area where gambling is permitted
Mr.. Curran said the charges
against Galera still are pending
Galera was arrested by members Of
Inspector Oscar j. Letterman's anti
gambling squad in surprise raid
on the Variety Clubs rooms in the
Willard Hotel and charged with set
ting up gaming table and permit
ting gambling. Police conflscated
six slot machines and set. Galera
free in 81 500 bond. The club, how
ever, was not closed.
Probe Takes Time"
The work of investigating the
clubs books takes some time" Mr.
Curran said last night. and added
that he didn't rush it or anything ,
Both Police Superintendent Maj
Harvey G. Callahan and his imme-
diate superior, Commissioner John
Russell Young, insist that the trans.
fer of Capt. Beach was routine.
He changed places with the com.
mander of the Sixth Precinct, Capt
Robert Pearce.
The transfer of Capt. Beach, i'm.
placable foe Of gamblers and gaming
has given birth to number o1
conflicting theories about what
might have caused the transfer
however.
Popular Clubs Warned.
First there is the much -publicizet
theory that Capt. Beach was shifted
to Number Six because he stepped
on the toes Of influential persons in
carrying out his orders to put stor
to rampant gambling in the down.
town section.
j Both Capt. Beach and Inspector
Letterman have repeatedly warned
a number of clubs frequented b,
prominent businessmen and officials
that they must cease operating slo,
machines or face arrest.
Second is the possibility that tn,
transfer may have resulted from tn,
efforts of Capt. Pearce to return t.
the First Precinct where he servec
