 "A veteran returning home af- ter the war became a citizen and a person capable of handling his own affairs Judge Davidson re- marked from the bench. In ex- plaining his leniency toward the real estate operators, the Judge also pointed out that real estate had gone up since the deals were made so the veterans weren't really losing anything. He didn't say what his attitude would have been if the real estate had gone down instead of up.
 PRESIDENT OF HOME
 BUILDERS
 Of the cases in court so far, the only operator who had pleaded not guilty is R. s. Shelburne, former president of the Dallas Home Build CTS. By strange coincidence, he is also the only operator who has paid the overcharge back to vet erans. This repayment in itself would seem to be a confession of guilt. But when Shelburne saw how the other cases were going, he pleaded not guilty and asked for jury trial.
 Defiantly. Shelburne's lawyers told newsmen they would fight the case to the Supreme Court ever if he got fined three-cent pos tage stamp. Five hours of jury dis cussion resulted in hung jury ano Judge Davidson adjourned court until October 25-when the rest of the veterans housing cases will be heard before the same jury
 When Government attorneys pleaded with the Judge to install new jury panel, he shrugged his Shoulders.
 Mo- replied Judge Davidson this jury is all right
 Note-Davidson is the same Judge who refused to extradict Texas oilman Freeman Burford when he was indicted in Louisiana in a hot oil case involving the bribery of Louisianas Governor Dick Leche. Leche was sentenced to ten years in jail, but Burford the man who bribed him, is still free, due to the fact that Judge Davidson took the position that Texas, though still presumably one of the 48 states, did not have to honor a Federal demand to remove Burford from Texas to face .trial in Louisiana.

Tabernacle Organ
Being Rebuilt

SALT LAKE CITY-R)-One of
the worlds most famous musical
Instruments, the Mormon taber-
nacle organ, is being rebuilt. The
81-year-old organ, which has been
heard by thousands of visitors to
Temple Suare and millions of ra-
dio listeners in the past quarter
century, will have seven new Sec
tons of pipes installed before the
next general conference of the Lat
terday Saints (Mormon) Church in
October. The total number of pipes
will be 10000, instead of the pres
ent 1000.
Thorpe b. Isaacson, directing the
remodeling, says that the exterior
appearance of the massive. organ
will not be altered. Original pipes
forming the imposing front of the
organ will be retained. Some of
the wooden interior pipes built in
pioneer days also will be cOntin-
ued in use.
The organ was built on order of
Bridgham Young, pioneer presi-
dent of the church, by Joseph H
Ridges, an English convert, who
had lived for some years in Aus
tralia and according to legend
built the first organ in that cOun-
try.

Speedy Beach Face,
Next Big Track Test
In July 0Iympics
By the Assoeiotsd Press

COMPTON, Calf, June 5.-Pan-
ama's lanky Lloyd La Beach. cool
ing OF today after . red hot as
sault on world sprint records, prob
ably will not face his biggest test
until he runs In the olympic Games
in London next month.
La Beach bettered the 200-meter
world mark and tied the 220-yard
and 100-meter records in a brilliant
flash Of speed at Compton's ninth
annual invitational track and field
meet last night.
He still has to meet and defeat
a lad who did not compete last night
Mel Patton of the University of
Southern California. That clash,
barring a change in use strategy,
will not come off until the big show
in London.
Here's what the long legged La
Beach did last night before a
sparse gathering of 1000 fans:
He first ran the 100 meters in
10.2 seconds, equaling the world
mark shared by Jesse Owens of
Ohio State and Hal Davis Of CAL
ifornia.
He, ran the 200 meters in 20.2
seconds, bettering the world mark of
20.3 set by Owens In 1885, and he
was clocked at the longer 220-yard
distance In 20.3 which ties owens
mark.
In each race, two out Of three
timers agreed on the low figure. In
the case of the 100 rt1eterbss4s Timer
Dave Nelson clocked him at 10.1.
And he completed this meter
run after a comparatively slow
choking at the lo0-yard mark Of 9.5
seconds. ,,e w,
Id the 2oo-meter run, two timers
got him at 20.2. A third, Nat Fits,
had him at 20.3.
Twice this year La Beach has met
Patton, and twice Patton has beaten
HMM the 100 yards at Fresno, and
in the 99-yard "blunder distance" in
the Los Angeles Coliseum Relays.
The first time Patton was timed in
93, bettering the world record. At
Los Angeles, he whipped La Beach
In 9.4 at the short-change distance.

Ban Revives Issue Of
|TeIevision' 5 Future
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

NEW YORK, June 5.-The tele-
vision ban on the Rocky Graziano-
Tony Zale fight In Newark Wednes-
day may be a sign OF things to come
In the sports business.
With minor baseball leagues com.
planning to the majors about "in-
vasion" Of their territorial rights,
this bold action by promoter Of q
major fight provokes serious thought.
Insiders of the fight business are
greatly concerned about the effect
of television on the sport, particu-
larly In the future when fights may
be piped into movie houses.
The recent strike by the New
York Managers Guild against the
Twentieth Century Sporting Club
hinged on the television angle. The
managers wanted a slice Of the tele-
vision cash for themselves and their
fighters. They got what they
wanted.
1t Is understood that the Tour
nament of Champions, Inc, new
seyen-man promotional group that
is bankrolling the Graziano-lale
bout. turned down $4,000 of1er
for the television rights.
Baseball is approaching show
down on television. A meeting OF
minor league officials and major
league executives has been sched-
uled for st. Louis shortly before
the All-Star game July 13.
Development OF cross-continent
television in the near future II
feared by minor league owners.
Whether stelevision will hurt
sports attendance or draw new fans
still is UP for debate.

Unwise base-Runnine
Costly 10 Anacosfia,
Tied by Coolidge
By Bill Fuchs

Ahacostia High Schools baseball
team has the week end to ponder
over the wisdom Of attempted
thievery on the baselines. The H.
dians, who went to . AZ eight
inning tie with Coolidge in the
championship round Of the playots
yesterday at Grifnth Stadium, al
most had Its hands on victory, but
impulsive' running on the bases
proved to be the spoiler.
The two teams will meet again at
the stadium Monday.
"I've had this same trouble all
year." Coach Tommy Nolan said
yesterday. 1--WE should have won
this ball game, but q lot Of my boys
haven't played enough ball yet. They
made q lot Of mistakes today when
it hurt"
Five Put Out on Bases.
The Indians had five men put out
on the bases either in the process Of
stealing, stretching base hits or TAX
ing leads that were too long for
safety. -...
Bob Mitchell, Indian short stop,
poled long hit to center field in
the seventh inning, good for an easy
double. But Mitchell didn't stop at
second and Centerfielder Stan
Greenberg retrieved the ball quickly
and fired 1t to Shortstop Jess Hous-
ton, who relayed a perfect strike to
Third Baseman Dick Kidwell. Kid
well tagged out Mitchell, who even
tually would have scored the win
ming run had he played 1t safe. The
next batter, Ralph Fraser, q pinch
hitter, singled to left field. Fraser
was left on first.
In the fifth inning Centerneldel
Dick Cook reached second base or
an error, but was out at the plate
trying to score on jim Faulkner's
infield single.
Leo Kerschbaum pitched the en-.
tire game for Anacostia, giving up
only three hits, while the Indians
got four of the combined efforts OF
Eddie Hughes and Benny Duvall.
Colts Score in First.
The Colts scored one run in the
first inning on walks to Houston
and Second Baseman Rod Hegarty
and Outfielder Jim Colliton's single
and again in the third on an Indian
error and Kidwell's single.
The Indians scored in the fourth
on three walks. a fielder's choice
and an error. At this point Duvall
replaced Hughes. Anacostia made
its other run in the fifth, Kersch-
baum reaching second on one error
and going home on another. Alto
gether, the Indians committed three
miscues and the Colts six.
Anacostia must beat Coolidge
twice to take the crown, while the
Colts need only one victory in two
games.

yesterdays game. He had to call
