Pumps Blasted
On Jerusalem S
Water Pipeline
Plans for Resumption
Of Holy City Supply
Thworted by Attack
" the kssoeiofsd Press

TEL AVN, Israel, Aug. IL
Two explosions blasted and
burned the Latrun pumping
station halfway between Jerusa-
lem and Tel Aviv early today.
wrecking United Nations plans
to deliver water to the Jewish
part of Jerusalem by tomorrow.
The pumping station was taken
over by U. N. observers yesterday.
Technicians were scheduled to make
minor repairs and start some oper-
ations today.
The station is one of several
booster. points to lift water through
the pipeline from the coast over the
Judean Hills to Jerusalem. All the
other stations are in working order
and are held by the Jews.
The Latrun station was held by
the Arabs, but it was placed IN mo-
mans land by an agreement be-
tween the Arab Legion and the U. N.
u. N. Observers to Make Report.
1t. Col. AL Perry, chief U. N. OBJ
server here, was informed OF the
explosions at am. He left prompt
ly for Haifa to report to U. N. head
quarters there.
Col. Frank Begley, chief observ-
er of the convoy and water route
who left yesterday for Rhodes with
Count Folke Bernadotte, the U. N.
mediator, repeatedly has asked for
Marine guards at the pumping sta
ton to prevent sabotage.
U. N. observers reported yeSter-
day that the Arabs had withdrawn
at least 1000 yards from the pump
ing station. The Arab Legion had
promised not to interfere with its
operation.
cat this point one take of this
dispatch was held by censor
ship. It may be delayed or
stoppedo
U. N. headquarters here said seven
men in civilian clothes were seen
around the pumping station earlier
last night. They were warned away
by U. N. guards living in Trap
pist Monastery near the station.
Men Seen Fleeing.
Later, seven men apparently
sneaked past the U. N. checkpoint
with truck and blasted the sta
ton. All seven were seen fleeing
in a truck.
The station is on the edge Of the
perimeter of the Latrun camp where
the British once detained Jews sus-
pected as members of terror groups.
No piped water has been available
to Jewish residents of modern Jeru-
salem since a week before British
forces withdrew from Palestine on
May Is. The pipes were damaged
during Arab attacks on Jewish con-
voys near Bah ell Wad, west of the
Holy City.
For several weeks. experimental
pumpings have beenA carried out
along the pipeline route from the
coastal region north of Tel Aviv to
Jerusalem. The present daily allot-
ment for the city's 100000 inhab-
itants in this unusually hot and arid
summer is one gallon per head.

Carey conf1ded his technique for

That canoe race is an old
story" said A. p. (Tubby) Tall
madge. But did you ever hear
of a man fishing from his living
room with his cat hauling in the
flsh? I did"
The slim. sprightly 7s-year-old
electrical contractor gazed out
over the turbulent Potomac as 1t
hurled itself toward the city.
Forty-eight Of those years have
been spent on the banks Of the
river fishing, boating, tinkering
with gadgets and just enjoying
life and Tallmadge can spin some
tall stories. He e<can back 'em
up, too.
It was early in March. one Of
his first on the river, when ne
saw two men with fishing poles
trudging through the snow.
"Durn FOOLS" he snorted, back
ing up to the pot-bellied stove.
But when they left with q nice
mess OF fish he decided it wasn't
so foolish at that. Next day he
tried himself, but it was bitter
cold and with his cottage only a
few feet from the rivers edge
he saw no reason why he couldn't
fish through the living room win
dow and enjoy the comfort OF the
fire.
IT had q big cat I decided to
put to work, too," he recounted.
IT fixed a soft collar for it-sort
of a harness, hooked the line to-
it, then ran the line over another
hook in the ceiling rafter. I also
got an old tin WASH basin and
rigged it to the cealing hook.
"It was one of those Rube
Goldberg contraptions." When a
fish bit, he pulled the line. That
released the pan which fell down
and hit the cat on the head. The
startled cat made for the nearest
exit, dragging in the fish. And
let me tell you that kind of fish
ing was real fun. But the cat
almost got pulled in one day by q
fish as big as himself.
The canoe contest was just as
hilarious, but not for George
Barnes, Clifford Bangs and Fred
Watts, who goaded Ta1lmadge
into the race. They kidded him
about his padding until he de-
clared they we're such poor
bladesmen he'd let them team up
in a single canoe and still beat
them at any distance. The only
stipulation was that he was to
have half-hour handicap.

their wares around here this season,
but they'll have to come up with
something extra special to present
q better shortstop than Maryland's
Bob Brewer. In the words of King
Lear, Chicago White Sox scout who
dropped In On the Maryland-Har-
ward game yesterday, "You can't
beat perfection" '
He referred TO Brewers fielding.
Bob efficiently covers an amazing
amount of territory and his throw
ing is sharp and straight. He han,
died IA chances yesterday and on at
least two had no licenses to be close
to the ball. On play that brought
a spontaneous cheer he dove behind
second base to spear a hard hopper
and. while falling. tossed perfectly
to first.
Maryland and Harvard. played to
a 3-3 tie in O. 13-inning game
that lasted hours and rs minutes

Bunny Citrembaum, a clever CEN
ter fielder; Joe Famulatte, third;
Don Druckenmiller. first string
catcher last year. who is on first,
and Pete King, top hurler last
year, but now playing the outfield
because Of sore arm.
Staff Cassen at A. u. has srnat-
tering of experience on his team,
led by Joe Hossick who hit 1923.
He's something extra in the way Of
college third baseman. Staff also
is high an Bob Lamon, his catcher,
up from Eastern High School.
Feature of yesterdays Maryland

Brewers fielding were two homers
hit to almost Identical spots. Walt

Harvard tailed another run In

with one in the third. Maryland
scored single runs in the second
and fifth before tying the game in
the eighth, when Paul Horst singled,
stole second and crossed on Bob
Wilson's single. incidentally, Coach
Burt Shipleys Terps stole every
thing except the letters ON Har-
wards shirts, thieving 10 bases.
Ship also broke his own record by
using a total of rs players.
Richmond's Spiders came up with
a 7-run eighth inning to trim the
Hoyas. The runs came off Relief
Hurler Bob Cora, who walked five
and was nicked for pair of singles
as II Spiders paraded to the plate.
