Australians Feel Day
Is Not Far Off When
They'll Rule Tennis
by The ksseciatsd Press

WILMINGTON, Aug. Even
II they fail to take the Davis Cup
back home this summer, the
Australians feel that the day isn't
far of when they will reclaim the
big international tennis trophy.
In Frank Sedgman, %, and
George Worthington. 20. they
firmly believe they have the two
young aces who eventually will
beat the United States-maybe
next year.
Sedgman is the present AuStral-
ian champion. having knocked of
his Davis Cup teammate, John
Bromwich. in this years final.
Prior to that. Worthington had
beaten Sedgman in straight sets
In the Victoria championships at
Melbourne.
Both are tall, blond, husky
youngsters with big" games.
That is, they boast fast. kicking
services behind which they cal
claw their way in to the net to
volley and smash. Worthington,
in particular, hits a terrific fore
hand.
Sedgman played in the Ameri-
can championships last year, but
this is Worthington's first trip
Although Worthington came over
with private support, he just has
been added to the Australian Cup
squad and may see action against
Italy In the interZone final Au-
gust 1914 at Rye, N; Y.
What makes the Sedgman-
Worthington combination look
particularly promising to the Aus
tralians is the fact that the two
have played doubles together since
their earliest junior days and
are very slick at team play.
Bromwich and Sedgman doubt
less will pair in doubles right on
through the interzone and the
challenge round this summer. as
Bromwich is Just about the best
doubles man in the world.
OF the four members of the
Aussie squad. only Worthington
will play singles in the eastern
grass court championships start
ing today at Orange. N. J. Brom-
wich, Sedgman and Sidwell will
rest, following their 5-to-0 SUM-
scorched victory over Mexico in
the American zone final here the
past three days.
Sedgman and Bromwich will
play together ip the doubles at
Orange.
As a team the Aussies spend
more time speculating on the
makeup of the American team
they will meet in the challenge
round than they do in weighing
their own chances
They would prefer to see
Pancho Gonzales. the national
champion. play in the singles
berth opposite Ted Schroeder
than to face Frank Parker in that
spot Bromwich, the complete
baseliner, doesn't feel so secure
when he opposes Parker. who also
specialiZes in knocking 'em back.

Griffin Sentence Due
Monday in Fight Death

Bennie Lee Griffin, 36, who plead
ed guilty yesterday to a charge of
involuntary manslaughter in the
fst-fight death of an Arlington
motorist, will appear at 10 am.
Monday in Arlington Circuit Court
for imposition of sentence.
After day-long hearing yester-
day, Judge Walter T. Mccarthy de-
ferred action in the case in which
Griffin, all Arlington automobile
mechanic, is charged with the death
of a man almost twice his age.
The victim, Auoie S. Carroll, IS,
a Ft. Myer auditor, died in Arling-
ton Hospital November 9 of injuries
he suffered in fist fight with Grif-
fin the night of November S. The
fight followed minor accident be-
tween cars driven by the two at
Wilson boulevard and North Fill
more street Mr.. Carroll lived at
829 South Glebe road.
Griffin, who admitted striking Mr..
Carroll one time. has been at liberty
under $2,50O bond. He originally was
charged with murder but was in
dicted for manslaughter. The COM
monwealth attorneys office agreed to
a reduction of the charge to involun-
tary manslaughter, which may be
punished with a fine or Jail SEN
tence. The greater charge carries a
sentence of from l to years in
the penitentiary.
After Defense Attorney Oren
Lewis told the court that Griffin
wanted to take his wife and IL
month-old child to Mrs. Griff1n's
mothers home in North Carolina,
Judge Mccarthy ruled he could re-
main at liberty until 10 am. Mon

Increase in JobIess
Here Below AVERAGE

Last months seasonal increase
in the rate of unemployment was
much lower" in the District than
the rest of the country, according
to Fred Hetzel, director of the Dis
trict office of the United States En-
ployment Service.
The Census Bureau reported yes
terday that unemployment rose
100000 in January-one of the big
gest increases since the end of the
war.
Mr.. Hetzel said there was no
marked change in Government en-
ployment, the major factor in the
Washington employment picture.
Unemployment in private business,
however, increased by 3,276 over the
December figure, he said. and total
of 16.963 persons were reported out
of work here last month. This is
1877 more than the total at this
time last year.
He said such an increase is GUS
tomary in January because of less
activity in the building industry and
the layoff of temporary Christmas
employees at stores.
The director said a trend is taking
place in the service industries
hotels, restaurants and laundries-
not to replace employees who leave
or are fired. He said job openings
in the District decreased last month.
There was 1,700 as compared with
1890 in January, 1948.
Job placements, he stated, totaled
2,846 last month as compared with
3,464 a year ago. T.

Lindsay Law Repeal
Measure Is Offered
Anew at Annapolis
By J. B. Zotmon
Stor Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 5.-The con-
troversial Lindsay Law repeater to
permit nonpartisan election of q
county council in charter counties
again is before the General As
sembly.
Introduced yesterday in the House
it is the first major bill desired by
Montgomery's new County Council
TO be sponsored by the county Re-
publican legislative delegation at
the present session.
The delegation also will seek rati-
flcation by the General Assembly OF
"a Congressional resolution limiting
Presidents to two terms. The reso-
luton will be introduced here Mon
day.
The proposal was adopted by Con-
gress in 1947 and provides for a
constitutional amendment to be
ratified by at least three-fourths OF
the State Legislatures. More tnan
20. States already have voted tc
ratify.
Tax Bill Is Signed.
Meanwhile, Gov. Lane signed the
bill keeping the rate on personal
income at per cent. thus rescind-
ing legislative action at the 194I
session under which the rate would
have gone up to 215 per cent or
1913 income.
At the same time, Senator Edward
D. Storm, Democrat, of Frederick
County, introduced bill to amend
the Maryland constitution to per.
NIT a graduated income tax. II
would be voted on at the 1850 gen.
eral election. A similar measure
was defeated in a referendum ir
1888.
The bill to repeal the Lindsay Law
was referred to the Elections Com.
mittee, most of whose members are
Democrats and are expected to take
a dim view of the proposal.
Similar legislation was defeated
at the 1947 session, largely as 9
result of pressure by county Demo
cratic leaders, who contended II
would destroy the tWo-party system
Supporters of the repeater claim
the present law prevents Govern
ment employees living in the country
from actively participating in coun-
Gil elections or running for Office on
the county's new governing body.
With legislative sessions on the
routine side yesterday, principal in
terest centered on a House Ways and
Means Committee hearing on bill
to exempt household fuels from the
sales tax.
| Strong opposition to the proposal
sponsored by Delegate Albert L
Sklar, Democrat, of Baltimore, was
voiced by Edward F. Englebert, as
sistant director of the sales tax
division of the controllers office
The measure would cut about
81 100000 year from sales tax rev.
enue, Mr. Englebert said.
Mr.. Sklar later disputed this fig.
ure. He said his estimates put the
probable revenue loss at $500,000.
