IA in Gambling Trial
Lose Round as Court
Is Told Of Pressure

Fourteen gambling defendants
lost a round in District Court
yesterday, during which a prose-
cutor told the court pressure is
being brought to hamper the Gov
ernment's case.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney William Hitz told the court a
Government witness. whom he did
not name. feared to enter a down.
town area at noon, even though
accompanied by two Government
investigators.
The case was before the court
on a defense motion to strike q
Government "bill of particulars" ="
which had been requested by the
defense. The defense, however,
argued that the bill of particu-
lars" furnished by the Govern
ment was insufficient to set out in
detail gambling offenses charged
against William (Snags) Lewis. 35,
and 13 other defendants.
Judge David A. Pine denied the
defense motion.
During the proceeding, Prose-
cutor Hitz also told the court a
key witness, Miss Bernice Frank
lin, had been threatened. Miss
Franklin reported to police several
months ago she was threatened,
and charges were brought against
a man she accused.
Lewis and other defendants
were arrested last spring in a
series of raids conducted by opera
tives of United States Attorney
George Morris Fay. Mr.. Hitz
told the court yesterday Lewis
did a $7.000,000 a year business
in one location alone.
Lewis and the other defendants
are scheduled to be tried on No.
vember 2. Defense attorneys are

Schools Over Capacity.
The colored elementary schools
are Ambush, 81 over capacity;

Bowen, 103 over.
The school board asked, in its

room addition to the Syphax to
relieve congestion there. This ad-
dition also would help the situa-
ton at Anthony Bowen.

the area is Jefferson, which has

there.

(Tenth of a Series)

The white school population In
Southwest Washington has been
declining slightly. while the
colored school enrolment has
grown somewhat, with the re-
sulting crowding Of the colored
schools.
The area being considered today
is south Of the Mall and west
of South Capitol street. There is
located Fort McNair and Wash
ington's waterfront with its fish
houses, river cruisers, yachts and
yacht basins.
DR.. George D. Strayer OF Colum-
bia University, who made a study
Of the school needs in the Dis
trict last year, had this to say
about Southwest:
The white population probably
will not increase in the next
few years although there might
be some slight increase in the
colored population. Nearly all
of the available building space is
used now. The white school pop
ulation has been declining since
1899, while the colored school pop
ulation has been fairly constant
with a slight raise.
White Schools Inadequate.
The three white elementary
schools in the area are Fair
brother, In which is 81 under
capacity; Amidon. nine under
capacity, and Greenleaf, 81 under
capacity.
However, these three schools
are considered completely made
quate by school officials. All are

2 Boys, Each w, Compete in identifying Autos

The two small boys stood on a.

watched the cars whiz by.

Leland w. Sprinkle. jr.. aged 212.
An aging automobile passed the
corner. The other youngster
gave it a quick glance.

turned to the reporter.
That's right, too." he declared.
The reporter was disinclined toI
argue the point after watching
the two youngsters perform.
Young Leland had marched
down the street from his home at
6513 Fairfax road, Bethesda, and
called off the names of all except
one car parked at the curb. He
missed only on an early model
Studebaker.
Miles" as Mr.. and Mrs. White
call their only child, had ridden
from his home at 47O0 North
Chelsea lane, Bethesda. to the
Fairfax road address and called
off the names of the cars as he
passed them on the road.
A convertible with its top down
drew up alongside his car at
traffic light. His mother asked him
to identify it. Standing up to see
past his mother in the drivers
seat. he took quick look and
identified 1t as, Hudson con-
vertible.
Both youngsters had no trouble
at all identifying a 1882 Cadillac.
They could name cars in motion
and parked, from the front, the4
sides and the rear.
Leland's father called his at
tention to shiny new car across
the street.

Mr.. Sprinkle said he started

him the colors. The boy still
can't distinguish colors - too
young, his father says-but. ac-
cording to his father, he can
spot at least one model of every
American car on the road.
