IFBIs latest report showed Wash
ington was second among major
cities in the number of aggravated
assaults, sixth in burglaries, sew
enth in murders and eighth in
robberies.
The recent grand Jury report
on crime in Washington also has
been cited by Mr.. Davis as having
laid emphasis on the light SEN
tences being handed down by
courts.
An editorial in The Star, an
alyzing the grand jury report,
was brought to the attention OF
the House Rules Committee re-
Gently, before it approved the
Davis resolution and sent it to
the House floor for action.
House Approval Expected.
House Leader Mccormack told
the House last week the Davis
resolution definitely would be
called up for action Tuesday, and
he predicted the House will not
take long to act.
Chairman Mcmillan Of the
House District Committee plans
to speak for the resolution. He
said he has conferred at length
with Mr.. Davis and will offer him
full cooperation of the District
Committee, it's staff and some
funds already in hand.
Mr.. Davis will be chairman of
whatever subcommittee is set up
to handle the investigation. Mr..
Mcmillan, Democrat, of South
Carolina, said. But what the per-
sonnel of this subcommittee will
be is to be left up to Mr.. Davis,
who was not ready to discuss this
matter last night, awaiting House
approval of his resolution.
1--WE will take up this problem
step by STEP" said Mr.. Davis. "The
first step is to get the House to
pass my resolution"

Action by the Senate and the
President will not be necessary

Hundreds Marooned, ,
Two Lose Lives in
Floods and Shows
BY the Associated Press

Flood waters and foot-deep
SHOWS took two lives and ma
rooned hundreds of city-dwellers
and hunters in Western States
yesterday.
Elsewhere the freakish weather
shot temperatures to both record
lows and highs for the date.
One man was swept into a
flooding river and drowned in
Texas, and a woman was found
dead in Idaho where she had been
missing from her hunting camp
during heavy SHOWS and below
freezing temperatures.
In the area of Houston, Tex.
the threat of a major flood eased
after rain-gorged bayous and
creeks began receding.
Hundreds MaroOned.
Hundreds of suburbaniteS were
marooned by the 10-inch rain
which flooded homes, halted traffic
and pelted crops. Several hundred
residents were evacuated when
water whirled into their homes. 1t
stood five feet deep in some Sec
tions.
Residents returned to their
homes by Saturday night, but
there still were numerous reports
of homes and small communities
isolated. Further danger to them
appeared to be past, however.
The waters rise appeared to be
halted by last night. More rains
were predicted but they were not
expected to bring complications.
Hurricane Laid Groundwork.
The hurricane that roared in
from the Gulf earlier this week
laid the groundwork for the flood
threat. Heavy rains accompany
ing the hurricane left the bayous
virtually filled and unable to take
the additional downpour.
The first heavy snowfall of the
year pelted a wide area in Mon
tana, Wyoming, Colorado and por-
tions of Nevada, Utah and Idaho.
1t trapped hunters in the Cen
trail Idaho forested area, drifted
roads shut and stalled hundreds
of automobiles.
The snow ranged up to a foot
In depth in Idaho. 1t began fall
ing again yesterday after a brief
letup. But officials said isolated
hunters generally were in no dan
ger. Below freezing temperatures
were recorded in the area for two
nights.
Stalled Autos Freed.
Crews cleared roads to free hun
dreds of stalled automobiles in
Southern Idahos Manidoka Ma
tional Forest yesterday. But by
night, many roads were drifted
shut again and officials said
number of stranded cars remained
in the area. Their occupants were
expected to find refuge in ranch
houses, however.
temperatures plummeted to 19
degrees at Cut Bank. Mont,
yesterday and record lows for the
date were recorded in parts of
California. Fresno had a chilly

In contrast, residents in parts
Of the Midwest and East sWeltered

mercury rose to 81 in Chicago,
highest for the date ever recorded
there.

Star STAFF Photo.
by Gene Abbott, a photographer
for The Star, who constructed the
plane in 1880. 1t is an exact du-
plicate in miniature of the famed
Boeing F4B3 fighter. one Of the
earliest types of planes launched
from aircraft carriers. Until the
late thirties, the F4B3 fighter was
the Nays Old Dependable.
Accurate In Detail.
The little model is exceptionally
accurate IN detail, even to the in
sigma of the Anacostia Naval Air
Station. There are working con-
trolls in the cockpit, and 1t also
Is equipped with an instrument
panel. The pilots seat has a
safety belt, and right near him
are a miniature fire extinguisher
and tiny map case. The wing
spread Is "a inches.
The F4B3 Fighter won second
prize, in 1880, in the contest OF the
District Of Columbia Model Plane
League. Mr.. Abbott fashioned 1t
with a razor blade, glue and q
plan. The only things he had to
buy were the wheels and insignia.
Even the combing was carved by
hand.
On June rs, the plane will COM
pete in a category which calls for
exactitude in dimensions and de-
tail. On the basis Of its past per-
Torrance it appears old Navy 712

Allentown swept their four game
series with the Owls, taking the
fourth and final game on Sunday
afternoon by a score of lilo
George Bird went all the way for
Hagerstown, with Crumling behind
the plate.
Allentown used three pitchers.
Duffis started, but was relieved by
Joyce in the seventh, and he in turn
gave way to Dries (the losing
pitcher) in the ninth Argeros was
behind the plate.
1t was free hitting game, with
Hagerstown getting eleven hits
against Allentown's ten, and the
game might have had a different
ending had not the Owls come up
with five errors, as the result of
which the Red birds had four UNI
earned runs
Even at that, the game was not
decided until the bottom half of the
ninth. Hagerstown took a two-run
lead in the first frame, but Allen
town came back in the second to go
ahead 80 They added three more
in the fourth and another in the
fifth, to make the score at that time
II Allentown. The Owls, however,
were far from through, and they
came back in the top half of the
sixth with three runs, but Allen
town came right back in their half
with also three, and so at the end of
six innings the score was 10-5 AL
lentown.
But the Owls went to work again
in the seventh and came up with
three runs, and then an error and
single, followed by Woody" Whea-
toms triple, pushed two more
runs across the plate in the ninth,
and the score was all tied at 1910.
But then in the bottom half, with
Sturm on first, Hoch came through
with double to give Allentown
the game by one-run margin.
There was one man out when the
winning run was scored.
Jim Kelly, who had two for three,
was credited with three RIBS;
Wheaton with two for five, drove in
two runs; Heinbaugh with three for
five, got one RIB; Crumling, with
one for four, got a run /batted in;
and Harbaugh and Hidden each got
one RBI. The tenth rune was I'M

"Y" COUNTY
SOETBALL LEAGUE

The "Y" County Softball Leagues
regular season closes on Sunday,
August 81, after which dates for the
play-offs will be arranged.
A meeting of the officers of the
league was held on Monday when
they discussed the FORGETTING of
games by Cavetown, Williamsport
American Legion and Middlekauff's
Motors. Under the rules, any team
that forfeits more than two games
and fails to notify the league secre-
tary or the opposing managers that
they will be unable to play the
games scheduled, are automatically
dropped from the league, and there.
fore the remaining games of these
three teams have been forfeited to
their scheduled opponents.
Before deciding on this action the
officers made certain that the for
feiting of these games would in no
way interfere with the standing of
the four top teams, who will get
into the play-offs.
The managers of teams who have
games scheduled with Cavetown,
Williamsport and Middlekauff's are
hereby advised that these games will
not be played, but will be recorded
in the win column of the teams they
were to play. The present standing
of the league includes the crediting
of these forfeited games.

The Owls come back home today,
and they play York tonight and to-
morrow night. Then Allentown
moves in on Saturday for a three
game series, followed by Lancaster.
The boys had pretty tough time
on the road, cut in their own back
yard they'll do lot better, so come
on down and root for them.
Those Philadelphia AT h lett c S
bounced right back after their los
ing streak, and they really did a
lot of damage when they knocked
off the Cleveland Indians in a double
header on Sunday.
The race in the American League
is far from over, and any one of the
first four teams could wind up on
top.
In the National League that's a
humdinger of a fight between the
Dodgers and the Cards But, of
course, as at the beginning of the
season l picked Brooklyn to win
the pennant, I naturally feel that
they will do just that.
The "Y'' County Softball League
season is just about over, with just
a few rained out games to be played
on the next two Sundays.
Charlton, who so far have won 10
games without a loss, has already
got the pennant locked up, as they
have only four more games to play,
and even if they lost all of them
they would still come out on top.

the league will be found elsewhere

teams are asked to read it carefully.

regarding forfeited games.

there's a real race. Boonsboro has

them, and Smithsburg in fourth
