Prospect Of Becoming

|Stirs Benedict, Md.
BY the Assoeio.ed Press

BENEDICT, Nd, Aug. 3.-This
Southern Maryland fishing village
is astir these days with talk of a
proposed deep water port to serve
Washington.
The recently enacted rivers and
harbors authorization bill includes
funds for survey of the Patuxent
from Solomon's Island to Benedict
with view to determining its pos
sibilities for use by going
traffic. Benedict stands at the head
Of the stream and Is 80 miles from
Washington
If the report on the survey is
favorable, then an appropriations
bill would be necessary to develop
the port. The study of the river will
be made by Army engineers, who
will report their findings to the chief
engineer for approval.
The Patuxent project in the riv-
ers and harbors bill was sponsored

ment in the purchasing of the
Key West General Hospital. 1t

could have been bought from the
Federal Works Agency for $780,
600, and one quarter of that sum
was included lin the budget for
the first payment. FWA, and the
commission could not agree on a
price for the hospital.
When local representatives of
the posts first made their request
TO the commission, the request
was referred to the late Comp
troller James M. Lee, who in
formed the commission that they
could not take that action in the
way it was proposed to him.
The posts then made a second
request, as a result of which the
$1,000 was granted them.

Judge Holland
Denies Motion
On Jurisdiction

After lengthy conference
with the opposing counsel in the
trial of David Joseph Watson of
Norfolk, Va, 21-year-old accused
murderer of Benjamin Leroy
Hobbs, 10, of Nebo, N. c., Judge
John w. Holland this morning
denied a motion of defense attor-
ney, John G. Sawyer, to with
draw photostatic copy of a MAP
offered in evidence to show the
location of the ship on which the
offenSe was committed.
Judge Holland told the jury
prior 10 adjournment late yes
terdaY thai ne would probably
deny SawYer's motion. Sawyer
had commended persistentlY that
the U.S.S. Stribling. on which
the murder was committed.
was outside the jurisdiction of
the U. S. Government at the
time.
The judge told the jury that
he would leave il to them TO
decide as a matter of fact
whether the vessel was in the
jurisdiction of the court.
Maps showing acquisitions by
the United States as far back as
1845 were offered in evidence as
the question of jurisdiction was
argued throughout the afternoon.
Sawyer held that the Stribling
was locked one block away from
the area conveyed by the state to
the Government in 1845.
Homer B. Herrick, architect,
who was the second witness of
U. S. District Attorney Hayford
Enwall, explained the exhibit
showing the location of the wa
terfront and was followed on the
stand by Karl LaRoche, Jr., OF
Darien, Conn, a civilian, who at
the time of the crime was an
aerial photographer at the Boca
Chiea base. He testified that he
flew over the Stribling after the
murder on orders to take pictures
of the scene from the aid. He
identified the aerial photos and
explained them to the jury. La
Roche was followed on the stand
by Robert LIGHT and then Gene
Piche, both enlisted photograph
ers at the Boca Chica field.
Prior to the noon adjournment,
Commander P. w. Mothersill was
recalled to the stand and present
ed an exhibit showing the posi-
ton of the ship at the dock and
the structural condition OF the
vessel.
Watson laughed and talked
with his mother at the morning
session while the court waited for
the Judge to render his decision
on the defense motion.

Republicans Apparently
Winners In House, Senate
(By Associated Press)


! ASHIN TON, Nov. g.
Though returns, are incomplete
in many parts of the country, the
Republicans likely will have ma
jorities in both the senate and
the house next January on the
converting of the eightieth con-
gress.
In the house 218 are required
for a majority. The Republicans
have 191 sure seats and are lead
ing in Sd other congressional dis
trictS.
The Democrats had a majority
of A in the last congress, and
apparently the Republicans will
have a majority of 81 in the
eightieth congress.
Latest returns indicate tn t
the Republicans will have a ma
jority of three in the senate.
A congressional majority prob
ably will not affect the govern
mentS foreign policy, as it was
pointed out that Republican lead
ers, including Senator Vanden-
berg, who was reelected by a
large majority, have been instru-
mental in helping to form the ma
TONS foreign policy.
But in domestic affairs, it was
said that the Democratic admin
istration will find "the sailing
hard"
Further explanation was that
the Republicans attain their ends
in domestic or other matters,
must form a coalition with Demo-
Gratis in order to override presi-
dental veto.
John Bricker was elected gov
ernor of Ohio, and he stood out,
with Dewey of New York, as
probable nominee for the preSi-
denCy in 1948.
Returns up to early afternoon
indicated that Andrew ]. May,
representative of Kentucky, who
figured prominently in the Gar
son munitions investigation, had
been defeated for reelection to
congress.
Adolph Sabbath, Democrat, of
Illinois, dean of the house of
representatives, won by large
majority, his twentieth success
sive term as representative.
