Ball Club Wins Point
In Police Cost Suit

The Washington baseball club to-
day won a point in District Court
in its fight to have declared invalid
new law under which the club
is billed for policemen and firemen
serving at Griffith Stadium.
Judge Edward A. Tamm granted
a request of the ball club that q
three-judge court be named to hear
the issues in the case. The three
judge tribunal is to be named later
and Judge Tamm informed counsel
he would suggest that a hearing
be held on the issues in November.
The suit filed by the ball club in
September seeks to enjoin the Dis
trict from forcing the club to pay
the levy for services Of the police
men and f1remen. The suit said that
1t has been estimated that the levy
would be at least $21 900 annually.
In seeking to .enjoin the District
from enforcing the levy, the club
declared in its suit that the law
governing such a levy violates the
Constitute. 1t asked for a three
judge court to hear the issues.
The Districts legal officers op-
posed the naming of a three judge
court, contending that the law gov
erning the levy amounts to a
municipal ordinance and that the
issues in the case should be heard
by a single judge.

you can be almost certain you
won't get it.
That test takes As minutes, after
which you get break" long
enough for a smoke, but not long
enough for much more. Then
comes a screening" test. You're
asked % questions like Can you
sleep at night% or do your hands
shake enough to bother you?"
That's to weed out the obvious
misfits.
The physical exam is next. At
most pre-induction stations you will
have to 60 somewhere else for your
physical. maybe to a nearby hos
pital. The physical takes exactly
IS minutes. It's been timed. And
after it you get fed by the Army. A
free lunch.
j. Following that comes a chest
X-ray. This may be given at still
a third place. 1t takes about As
minutes to X-ray Is registrants.
One OF the stations I visited gives
general classification test and
screening" test at the station,
physical exam at a nearby Army
camp and X-rayS at still another
place. The Army, of course, pro-
vides all transportation.
After the x-ray you're through,

I can almost promise that you'll
find something at your pre-induc-
ton physical examination station
which you aren't bargaining for.
That is, believe it or not, genuine
friendliness.
At least if directives from Wash
ington Army headquarters and
visits I've made to these pre-
induction stations point the way
throughout the country. you will
find friendly atmosphere.
Pre-induction exams will mean
to working registrants the loss of at
least one days pay unless the boss
happens to overlook your absence.
1t takes almost a day to do the
things you have to do. The pattern
may vary a bit from place to place,
but here is quick sketch of what
to expect:
You get to your pre-induction
station about 8:l5 am. 1t might
be in some places, or maybe 8:45.
If you have to 60 outside your home
town to get. there Selective Service
will give you the word on transpor-
tation, plus a round-trip ticket and
meal tickets.
Well say you report at 8:15. At
$3.50 a sergeant calls the roll of all
registrants who are supposed to
report that day.
Then an officer of the recruiting
station gives a little "orientation
talk" He just explains what you're
going to do, what's going to be
done to you, etc.
Then comes the general classifi-
cation test. That's the test Con-
gress took quite an interest in when

Architect Starts Work
On Plan 10 Increase
Armory Seat Space

The municipal architects office is
working on suggested plans for in
creasing the spectator capacity Of
the National Guard Armory, now
limited to 1925 persons because of
the number of fire exits.
Archie Hutson, District director of
construction. said Arthur j. Dutch"
Bergman, Armory manager, had re-
quested sketches by December l to
show possibilities of what might be
done.
Attorney Leonard P. Walsh, chair
man of the Armory Control Board
said the board intends to push a
budget request for the changes nee
essary for an increase.
1T isn't for us to determine what
the budget authorities will do with
| it," he said. however.
Capacity of 10000 Possible.
! Other members of the board are
Commissioner John Russell Young
and Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox. COM
mander of the District National
Guard.
Mr.. Bergman said 1t has been
found structurally possible to pro-
vide for a capacity of 10000.
What we're shooting for is be-
tween 10000 and l5.000." he said,
which in my opinion would be
ample for Washington.
If you go into figures much
higher than that, it would interfere
with the use of the floor for drill
ing. After all, we've got to take the
National 'Guard into consideration, -
he said.
Pillars Would Cut Floor Space.
He explained that too substantial
an increase in the seating capacity
of the balcony would necessitate the
erection of pillars which would take
away from the use of the floor for
drilling. The Guard drills three
times week.
I'VE certainly have every plan for
moving forward as soon as we get
these estimates and have the. plans
okayed," he said. We'll leave no
stone unturned"
Recently the Armory was asked by
school officials to consider reduced
rental fee for school athletic events.
Mr.. Walsh said it was his feeling
that the District High Schools
should have some priority on use
of the building, erected with Dis
trict taxpayers money.
| He added the board awaits fur
ther financial information from
school officials before discussing a
rate for such events lower than that
charged commercial operators.

Thurinond Will Speak
At Lynchburg Tonight;
Strong Support Seen
By John v. Homer
Sfor Stoff Cofrespondent

LYNCHBURG, Va, Oct. 11.-Un-
less all signs fail, Gov. Thurmond
Of South Carolina will be greeted
by his most sympathetic Virginia
audience to date when he delivers
a major campaign address here to-
night.
Arriving late today by plane from
Columbia, S. c., the States Rights
candidate for President will be met
and feted by leaders of the con-
trolling Democratic organization be-
fore his speech at the spacious city
armory.
Lynchburg is the center Of con-
servative Piedmont Virginia. The
public seldom turns out en- masse
for political rallies. The. Thur
mond supporters, therefore, will be
satisfied, they said today, if 600
persons gather for the speech.
Caliber of Backing Watched.
More important to the States
Rights Democrats is the caliber OF
the local backing. The hackers in

are doing anything at all in this

Thurmond tonight.
No Opposition From Committee. d,
Eighteen of the 80 members of
the Lynchburg City Democratic
Committee are actively working for
Gov. Thurmond. The rest are doing
nothing to hurt him.
Mr.. Glass said today that the city
will give tremendous majority
to the States Rights ticket over
President Truman and Gov. Dewey.
He also said he expected the neigh
boring counties Of Amherst, Nelson,
Bedford. Appomattox, Charlotte and
Halifax to be in the Thurmond COL
umn.
This is the home county of Gov.
Tuck and. for political purposes,
Appomattox could just as well be
named Byrd.
Papers Take No Stand.
The two Lynchburg newspapers,
long owned by the Glass family,
have taken no editorial stand for
any candidate. Carter Glass, jr.,
declined to say whether they would.
But you can be certain of one
thing" the publisher added. 1.-THE
papers won't indorse Truman"
During his stay here Gov. Thur
mond will address the students of

He will leave by plane tomorrow

Virginia G. 0. P. Sees
States Rights Silence
Costing Dewey Votes
Rv Inv e Anvdon
By Jay 6. Hoyden
North American Newspaper Alliance

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. Ire
publican leaders in the South are
disappointed and increasingly angry
because of the failure Of Gov. Dewey
so far to schedule a speech any,
where this side of the Mason and
Dixon line.
High-ranking Virginia Repubn-
cans told this writer that when Gov.
Dewey came to Richmond last
spring in quest of delegate support,
he promised that If nominated he
would make speech in the South,
taking a States rights slant on the
civil rights issue.
According to these Virginians,
Dewey stressed that his fair en-
ployment practice setup in New
York Is strictly State affair. For
that reason, he said, he was in posi-
tion to argue the right of every
person to equality of job opportu-
nifty, regardless of race, color or re-
ligious creed, while contending at
the same time that State action, as
in New York, was the best ap-
proach to the problem.
Specifically, Gov. Dewey is re-
ported as saying he did not favor
Federal compulsion of the South in
matters involving political or social
Discrimination against Negroes; that
The Federal Government should
content itself with educational effort
In that line.
=: No Talks Now Planned.
Republican spokesmen in North
Carolina told the same story, but
with one added detail: They said
that Gov. Dewey made them the
definite proposition that if North
Carolina's delegates supported him
unanimously he would, if nominted,
make at least one speech in that
State. North Carolina did give all
of its votes to Gov. Dewey on every
ballot.
Gov. Dewey's latest itinerary, carry
ing up to within two weeks of elec-
ton with no allotment of time to the
South, came as a severe shock to
Southern Republicans. Their guess
Is that Gov. Dewey has become so
enamored of his 'no-commitment-
on-any- -ticklish-subject" policy that
he has decided not to get even with
in hearing distance of the rumpus
over racial equality now going on
everywhere in the South.
Another factor that may be in
fiuencing Gov. Dewey is President
Truman's failure to mention the
civil rights issue. Mr.. Truman
lodged it entirely in Texas and
Oklahoma. He is scheduled for a
"non-political" speech before the
Legion convention in
Miami next Monday, but he is
making that trip BY air and has
announced no intervening appear
ance.
Loss of Electoral Votes Seen.
Should Gov. Dewey persist in
avoiding the South, his chance of
electoral votes in this Sec
ton will diminish. Particularly,
Gov. Dewey's chance of carrying
North Carolina may depend on his
keeping the purported promise to
speak there. and a speech in the
South, squirting toward States
rights, almost certainly would cinch
Virginia and Florida for him.
