Gi|mer Case Dangling
As League Lawyer
Takes Vacation
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13.-All
the evidence in the Chicago Trib-
une-Harry Gilmer gridifon fuss was
before Bert Bell today-but there
may be no verdict for 10 more days.
Bell, commissioner of the Ma
tional Football League, said the dis
pute over participation in the an
nual charity game between the NFL
champions and College All-Stars is
"a legal matter" and that he must
consult ap attorney before reaching
a decision.
The attorney in the case is Bells
brother, John C. Bell, jr., former
Governor Of Pennsylvania. John
Bell is mentioning now and may not
return to Philadelphia before Au-
gust %.
BY then, the charity game will be
over. 1t will be played August 20
between the Chicago Cardinals and
the All-Stars at Chicago. The game
is sponsored by the Chicago Tribune
Charities, Inc.
Arch Ward of the Tribune is the
plaintiff. He wants Bell to invoke
an NIL rule that says any college
player who refuses to compete in
the All-Star game be barred from
nonchampionship games of his NIL
club
Gilmer's club is the Washington
Redskins.
Last month, NIL club owners
gave Bell full authority to decide
on all aspects of the All-Star game
particularly the clause on refusal to
play.
Gilmer, former star at the Uni
versity of Alabama, was chosen to
play in the game but refused.
Reached at Occidental College in
California, Gilmer, repeated his
earlier statement that he will do
what Mr.. Bell tells me to-"
Bell would not discuss the con-
tents of letter he received yester-
day from Ward. He said. however,
that Ward presented the correspond
ence between himself and Gilmer
regarding participation in the grid
iron contest.

Dog Vaccination
Urged To Curb
Rabies Menace

Another mad dog was picked
up in Detroit last week The
owner lives on Packard between
Seven Mile and McNichols road
The dog had never been vacci-
hated against rabies. Dr Bruce
II Douglas commissioner o..
health. said
During December. two rabli
dogs We're discovered IN the VIZ
entity Of Llvernols and Seven
Mile road
Since April. l947. 10 mad dogs
have been picked up IN Detroit.
None Of them had been vaCcl.
mated within - months before
they became rabid and IA had
never been vaccinatcd PRIOR 10
last April Detroit had cxpelI-
cnced a 22-month period OF free
dom from rabbit animals.
The recent increase should IN
hCate 10 every dog owner the
lccd 20 have his pet protected
~ vaccination il this has not
oeen done within the last u
months. Dr. Douglas urged
Most of the rabid dogs here
were In areas near the outer
boundaries OF the city. In these
areas. contact with rabid ami
mails from outside of Detroit
is more likely 10 occur. A De-
iToit ordinance requires that
all dogs be licensed and kept
from running at large. When
they are not on the owners
premises, they must be on a
leash held by competent
person.

Efforts to Make iran
A u. 5. Base CHARGED

MOSCOW, Feb. 2 P.-Pravda
said today Russia has complained
to Iran that United States military
advisers seek to make Iranian ter
ritory a strategic base Of the
United States of America"
She did so, the Communist news
paper reported, in note charging
Americans with taking pictures OF
the Soviet Iranian frontier, helping
plan airports near the border and
heading up the building OF "forti-
fications" along the border.
A United States Embassy spokes-
man said a Soviet note charging
American planes with violation OF
freedom of the seas in the Far East
had been relayed to the State De-
partment in Washington.
The Soviet protest, as published
in the Russian press today, accused
the United States of trying to estab-
lish control of shipping in the yell
low Sea and the Sea of Japan by
flying over and inspecting Russian
vessels there.
1t demanded that the flights be
stopped.

Wilson's Stand Recalled.
Representative Knutson replied
that the difference between the
wartime excess profits levy and the
one Democrats are proposing today
Is the difference between "tweedle-
dee and tweedle-dum Mr.. Knut-
son recalled that former Secretary
of the Treasury Vinson, now Chief
Justicef recommended repeal of the
tax in 1945 because the administra-
ton feared then its retention would
retard the reconversion of industry
from war to peace.
Mr.. Doughton vigorously opposed
the Republican measure on the
ground 1t gives ito much to soon"
The Doughton plan may yet form
the basis for a compromise in the
Senate, where Republican strategists
are expected to scale down the House
figures in the hope of attracting
the Democrat votes needed to over
ride a veto.
1T would take the faith of an
Abraham to believe that this bill
in its present form, or the motion
to recommit, could possibly become
law" said Mr.. Doughton. He was
referring to the Knutson measure
and the Democratic substitute,
which takes the form of recon-
initial motion.

.4OP Planes Widening Search
For British Air Transport

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Feb. a
Forty planes take off from Bermuda
today to press the widening search
for a British transport plane miss
ing since Friday with 20 persons
aboard.
Clearing skies spurred searchers
who have been hampered by fog
and clouds in their quest for the
missing plane, a Tudor Nv type
craft known as the Star Tiger.
Sir Arthur Cunningham, retired
British air marshal and q hero Of
the recent war, was among those
aboard the missing craft.
Coast Guard cutters are aiding
aircraft In the. search which will
cover an area Of 272.000 square
miles.
Two cutters are patrolling waters
$50 miles northwest of Bermuda
where floating objects were reported
yesterday.
The objects included plank, an
oil drum, a cylindrical orange OBJ
ject about 8 feet long and two
yellow boxes. All except the cylin-
der are believed to have been
discarded by surface craft.

trict, they were covered by Title 81
Section 300. of the District Code
reading:
"All pupils whose parents are en-
ployed officially or otherwise In the
District of Columbia shall be adj
mitted and taught free of charge In
the schools of said District"
The plaintiffs contended 'irrepar-
able damage would result from q
requirement that the pupils trans
fer to other schools at midyear be-
cause of differences in the patterns
Of instruction.
The pupils were accepted for in
struction without payment Of tut
ton when the school year began last
September and have been attending
regularly since, it was stated.
Two Bills Pending in House.
Meanwhile, pending in the House
are two bills introduced by Repre-
sentatives Beall, Republican, and
Sasscer, Democrat, of Maryland, to
repeal the provision in the Appro-
priation Act requiring tuition for
nonresident pupils. These bills,
have been opposed by Chairman
Koran of the House Appropriations
subcommittee In charge of the Dis
trict supply bill. and by Representa-
tive Bates, Republican, of Mas
sachusetts, who heads the fiscal sub
committee of the House District
Committee.
They both have taken the stand
that there Is no reason why Wash
ington taxpayers should assume the
burden of educating children from
neighboring counties.
