Park Board Is Seeking
To Buy Ten Acres Of
Tract Near Bethesda

Negotiations for purchase of the
main barn, outbuildings and APP
proximately 10 acres of the former
Ayrlawn Farm property northwest
of Bethesda for recreational and
park use have been instituted by the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, it was
announced last night.
E. Brooke Lee, commission vice
chairman, and Clarence C. Keiser
have been directed to make the pur-
chase or, If negotiations fail, to start
condemnation proceedings.
Last June, the commission recon-
mended the acquisition of park sites
in the area northwest Of Bethesda
between Rock Greek Valley and
Cabin John Valley. The recon-
mendation, however, carried a pro-
Vision that the purchase of such
land bear the approval of residents
of the section.
During the past several months
the commission stated, general
community opinion in developments
situated between Alta Vista on old
Georgetown road and the Bradley
School appears to have crystallized
in favor of, the location of a rec
reational center on the former

Mr.. Sved, who made his debut

Italian, Hungarian, English and

anxiety to him.
"I wake up sometimes at night
thinking, in what language am I
going to sing tomorrow" he said.
There are times, he explained, when
I sing some German words in a
French opera or French words In an
English opera If the other words
don't come quickly to me. "But I've
got to be very careful in ITALY" he
added. Everybody there knows the

By The Associofed Press

MOSCOW. Sept. 25.-The weekly
Literary Gazette called Secretary of
State Marshall a "Shylock from Wall

British Foreign Secretary Bevin as
strikebreaker and a werewolf"
The Gazette, which last week said
President Truman was "straining
for the laurels' of Hitler and was
a tool of Wall Street." carried eight
articles excoriating the two western
governments.

Jury in 0vereI| Case
Will Inspect Yacht
By the Associotsd Press

SANTA ANA, Calf, Sept. as
With testimony completed, the jury
trying Louise Overell and George
Gollum on charges of numbering her
parents headed for Balboa, nearby
beach resort, today to inspect the
yacht aboard which the wealthy Mr..
and Mrs. Walter E. Overell died
March Is.
The defense rested its rebuttal
case late yesterday after failing to
get court permission to show motion
pictures of a calf carcass being
blown up with 10 sticks of dynamite.
The movies were offered by the
defense in an attempt to refute the
States claim that Mr.. Overel was
in the forward cabin of his boat,
the Mary E. when IL sticks of dyna-
mite blew two holes in the hull.
Defense attorneys contend the
Overells were alive at the time of
the explosion and that Mr.. Overell
was in a standing position. The
prosecution holds that both victims
were bludgeoned to death before
the explosion occurred.
Prosecutor Eugene Williams
blocked the motion pictures on
the ground the defense experiment
did not simulate conditions aboard
the yacht, and that the bone struc-
ture of calf weighing ITO pounds,
the same weight as Mr.. Overell, was
not comparable to a human.
The jury will return to the court
room Monday when Henry A. Dietz,
deputy attorney general, will begin
the closing arguments for the people.
He will be followed by z. Bert West,
William Beirne, Otto Jacobs and

Instead of destroying the gangs,
Mr.. Cowan took them into his camp.
He exhorted them to constructive in
stead of destructive deeds. Today the
gangs are still intact but their pat
tern is changed. One gang. the once
notorious "Bonecrushers," has adopted
a more pacific title, 1.-THE Glorifled
Falcons"
Still in business, but on q sounder

"Bulldozers," "Wallach Place Bears"
"Vipers." Bryant Street Barons,"

areas. Each area has a mayor, in
spectors. captains, lieutenants, serg-
eants and corporals. all elected.
Badges are worn by the officers. Head
ing the entire organization are
president and board of commissioners,
also elected. Mr.. Cowan stresses that
the youngsters run their own show.
Any boy or girl. white or colored,
between the ages Of and ID, may
join the corps.
With funds derived from dances
and boxing shows, the corps bought
an old brick building at 720 Barry

training library, supply room. con-
ference room. and a health clinic
where members are given a weekly

two psychiatrists. The youngsters
operate a clothing exchange wherein
donated clothes are repaired and
turned over to needy children. They
also have organized a boys chorus,
drum and bugle corps. baseball and
football leagues, and they publish
their own newspaper.
Mr.. Cowan's work with the corps,
which started as an off-hour project,
now Is deemed so important that 1t
