Although both pitchers allowed
their opponents total of five hits
each, Lyons pitched Potomac to a
8 to l win behind the timely hit
ting of his battery-mate, Jimmy
Schwab, who singled in a run in
the first and third innings after
two were out and "Red" Giegerich,
flashy center-fielder, who hit for
the circuit in the sixth. Ironically
enough the only error made by Po-
tomac was chalked up against
"Red" Miller who dropped a throw
at second on an attempted double
play which led to the lone run
scored by Gaithersburg, but other
wise sparkled brilliantly afield to
smother the Gaithersburg offensive
with timely gems of defensive play
around the keystone sack.
While all of these games were
hanging on each pitch made in the
late innings in order to determine
the results, Morningside unloaded
against Cissel Saxon with a % hit,
Is run barrage to muffle their op-
ponents Is to 5. Herbert and Dowd
held Cissel Saxon to eleven well
spaced hits while their team mates
fattened their batting averages at
the expense of Schroeder, Xander
and Brady who paraded to and
from the mound in that order.
The net results leave Greenbelt,
Sandy Spring, Silver Spring, Po-
tomac and Morningside tied for
first with one victory each with the
remaining league teams tied for
both second and last in the Second
Half standings with one defeat
apiece. Games Sunday, August

He suggested the dangers could
be avoided by amending the general
European relief act of the last ses-
sion instead of passing the State

in that act could be increased by
the amount now being recommended

Mundt Before House Group.
The first witness before the House
Foreign Affairs Committee today
was Representative Karl Mundt
Republican, of South Dakota, who
led group of Congressman through
% countries in a six-weeks tour in
Europe.
Mr.. Mundt urged that additional
ships be loaned temporarily to
European nations to carry food and
other supplies. thus cutting down
the need for dollars to pay freight
costs.
| He also said most of the countries
over there can work a little harder, y
though he Is now "a little more
sympathetic with the reasons they
are not doing so.
Mr.. Mundt pointed to the Com
munist danger if the United States
does nothing, adding that chaos is
the mother of communism He said
Communist "overlords" in some Eu-
ropean labor unions are slowing
down the workers deliberately in or
der to spread chaos and confusion.
Favors Tight Fence"
The United States, he said
Should build a four sided fence
around Russia and her satellites in
connection with aid for Europe,
"A three-sided fence isn't any
good to fence in wandering herd,
he said. We've got to have a fence
all around with no holes under it
Geographically, the Russians have
stolen lot of real estate and we
can't let that continue"
The South Dakota Representative
author of legislation to make perma
nent the United States Information
Service abroad, said any aid bill
stopgap or long term-should in
clude provision requiring each
country receiving aid to give free
time on its own radio stations to ex-
plain where the aid is coming from

ing it.

Realtors May Decide
Today 10 Fight u. ).
Rafe-Fixine Charges

The National Association of Real
Estate Boards will decide formally
today at its San Francisco conven-
ton to fight the Governments anti
trust charges of rate fixing, reliable
convention sources indicated today.
Yesterday the associations presi-
dent, Morgan L. Fitch, commenting
on a published report that the as
sociation would plead guilty in the
civil case, said that the entire mat
ter had been discussed. He added
that no decision had been reached
and. that q decision quite possibly"
would be made by the convention
membership today.
1t is understood the convention
will, adopt a resolution in favor of
fighting the charge to a finish"
mot guilty" pleas already have
been filed by the National Associa-
ton and the Washington Real Estate
Board to an indictment charging
criminal conspiracy. AS in the GRIM
inal case, the Washington board was
made a party to the civil suit, along
with the national organization.
Meanwhile, Roger J. Whiteford,
counsel for the national association,
has returned to Washington from
the convention, which opened Mon
day and closes today. Attorney Will
liam E. Leahy represents the local
group.
Mr.. Whiteford said he was plan
ming to file an answer Monday in
District Court to the civil suit
launched by the Justice Department
several months ago.
Mr.. Whiteford said he spoke to
the Executive Committee of the Or
ganization in San Francisco. He
denied a report in yesterdays New
York Times to the effect that the
organization had decided to plead
guilty.
The Justice Department contends
in its civil suit that the national
association and the Washington
board, by combination and con-
spfracy," engaged in restraint of
trade by agreeing to fix commits
sion rates.

Naval Hospital in Aiea, Hawaii.
The 50-year-old commodore was
born in Rochester, N. Y. A 1920
graduate of the Naval Academy, he
served aboard the battleships Con-
necticut and Texas, and with two
destroyer squadrons before he went
to the Naval Air Station in Pensa-
cola, Fla, for fight training. He
had been with naval aviation since

After serving with an observa-
ton squadron and aboard the old

uate course in aeronautical engi-
|neering at Annapolis and at the

He said the Russian propaganda is
'hendishly cleverl but that tine

amount of goodwill over there"
Pleased by u. S. Advisors Abroad.
In Greece and Turkey, he said,
his committee was encouraged by
the value of American advisors in
those countries. He advocated SINH
lar American counsel and leader
ship" in other nations wherever
possible.
Mr.. Mundt advocated a $50,000,000
year information program abroad
which he said, is one-third the cost
of one battleship.
Others Testify.
Representative Jarman, Democrat,
of Alabama said it is necessary to
know "the feeling of strangulation"
which he found behind the iron
curtain" to realize that the United
States must aid Europe.
Representative Bolton, Repuhli-
can, of Ohio said the Russians now
are focusing their attack on France,
Italy and Austria, the three nations
which would be helped by the stop
gap aid bill.
This cold war;" she declared, is
cold, ruthless struggle for COM

The idea was adopted by the ad-
ministration, but the opportune mo-
ment had passed. Soviet-American
relations had deteriorated to point
such that Soviet opposition was
inevitable.
AT Moscow last April the United
States delegation pushed this pro-
posal vigorously and it is still open
hope that at the forthcoming
meeting of the Council of Foreign
Ministers at London something. will
be done about it, preferably on a
four power basis, but otherwise on
three-power basis. That will &c
far to assure that fear will not be
the designer of postwar Europe"
! Three Runr Alternatives.
Broadly speaking, Mr.. Dulles said
there are three ways to handle the
valuable Ruhr area, One would be
to destroy it; second to restore 1t
and return it wholly to German
control; a third, to encourage the
Ruhr to work vigorously for the re-
covery of Europe, but under inter-
national safeguards to prevent re-
vival of the German war potential
Mr.. Dulles recommended the third
choice, but said some form OF in
ternational economic supervision
would, have to be continued. This
was suggested by Secretary Mar
shall at Moscow, the witness re-
called.
Mr.. Dulles said the United States
originally set out on the solution OF
destroying the Ruhr as an industrial
area, and he added, seldom has any
nation committed itself to course
of comparable folly"
Herter Criticizes Blue Book.
Representative Herter directed his
criticisms, not at the total proposed
for interim aid to Italy, France ano
Austria, but at the State Depart
ments supporting blue book, which
contains the breakdown of the
amount of food, fuel and fertilizer
each country could expect under the
stopgap program.
Questioning especially the grain
estimate for Italy, in the State De.
partment book, Mr. Herter expressed
fear that 'if we over promise, il
will lead to unfortunate disap'
pointments
Senator Vandenberg said he gath
cred from talking to State De.
partment spokesman that the de-
partment's wheat estimate for Italy
was intended only as yardstici
! of the need, with the understanding
that substitutes would be furnished
if the full amount of grain is no
available.
Connally Suggests Safeguard.

Senator Connally, Democrat, Of
Texas to suggest. that the legislation

noon following an accident in
which Brenda Kay Hinton, a 3
year old Jackson girl received in

despite the childs improved con-
dition. Eye witnesses to the &C
cident testify that Jackson was
driving Lincoln Zephyr at an es-
timated speed of 25 miles an hour
when the youngster dashed from
the sidewalk into the path OF the
automobile. This testimony con-
flicts with that of the Investigate
ing officers who stated that the
car was travelling at a speed of
miles per hour, and that the
child when struck was hurled %
feet through the air.
White residents of the area fur.
Their stated that the accident was
unavoidable due to the childs UNI
timely dash into the street. jack
son, driver of the car, when ques-
toned stated that he could not
have been driving so miles an mr.,
because he had driven only one
block from the Terry Road car
lot where he is employed when
the accident occurred, and that was
was not time enough to build a
speed of so miles per hour.
Eye witnesses willingly stated
that Jackson stopped Immediately
following the accident and urged
by ISLANDERS to summon an ambu-
lance TO rthe child, and an officer
to report the accident to.
When taken to police headqua-
tiers Jackson was jailed and charg
ed with reckless driving pending
outcome of the childs injuries. The
youngster, a patient of the Bap-
fist hospital ha sshown marked
improvement in condition and is
expected to be discharged from tn
hospital without any serious af-
ter affects. Jackson, former re-
sident of Laurel, Miss, is now be-
ing held for $500 bond behind
the bars of the city Jail.
