To back this contention. he
pointed out that the new Spingarn
High School, to be constructed al
Twenty-fourth street and Benning

Two armed robbers, disguised
with false mustaches, held up q
woman teller and four customers
in the East Falls Church Bank
in the $500 block of Lee high
way this morning and escaped
with s13,46s in cash.
The bandits. overlooked $4,000
as they hurrfedly scooped their
loot into a canvas bag.
In their flight, the bandits
added another melodramatic touch
when they broke jars Of oil on
three sharp curves along Little
Falls road near Van Buren,. Roose-
veit and Powhatan streets. On
top of the oil they scattered roof
ing tacks and broken glass, OBJ
viously hoping the cars of any
pursuers would either skid of the
road or at least blow tire.
Some DISCUSSES Found.
But the oiled trail served only
to lead Motorcycle Policeman E. A.
Summers to bundle tossed at the
side of the road which contained
some of the clothing and DISCUSSES
worn by the men.
Mrs. Beatrice Cate, the teller,
and two customers-Dr. Macon
Ware, retired druggist. and John
E. Mcmillan, filling station opera
tor of $685. North Fairfax drive,
were in the bank when the ban
dts entered.
DR.. Ware, whose hobby is COL

DR.. Ware and Mr.. Mcmillan

Richard L. Connolly, the present
commander in the Eastern At
lantic and Mediterranean, has
been overseas for more than three
years and is due to return to the
United States.
Denfeid Would Retain Rank.
The shift would mean no loss in
rank for Admiral Denfeld, who
has four stars. but Admiral Con-
oily would have to revert back
to vice admiral unless he was
shifted to another four-star ad-
miral's post.
Admiral Sherman-whose main
immediate task is the promotion
|of harmony in the high command,
which was widely split over uniflca-
tion-will be sworn in at 3 pm.
in Secretary Matthews Office. The
Navy Judge advocate general. Rear
Admiral George L. Russell, will
administer the oath.
Mr.. Matthews met with ,Admirals
Denfeld and Sherman for Is min
|utes this morning. Mr.. Matthews
described the meeting as cordial
and the adrnirals left smiling and
chatting chummily.-

Navy housekeeping persisted. 1t
was learned that Defense Secretary
johnson and Deputy Secretary
Stephen T. Early conferred with
Admiral Sherman and Mr.. Mat
thews yesterday at the Mayfiower
Hotel, before President Truman
announced the appointment.
While Admiral Sherman denied
that he planned any whole
sale changes, 1t was freely pre-
dicted that his appointment would
mean just that before harmony
was brought back to the sea arm
President Truman announced
the interim appointment of the
53-year -old naval aviator and war
hero late yesterday. Admiral
Sherman is the youngest naval
operations chief in history. He will
be boosted to the rank Of full ad-
miral, but must be formally nomi-
mated and confirmed for his new
post when Congress returns.

 Mir Goldstein is probably the eldest active sports man in this part of the Territoryf not in all of Alaska He is the ardent sponsors of the Derby which will be held in Lynn Canal for three days start ing July 29.
 Charlie as he is known to his host of friends and fellow sportsmen, is in favor of anything that will promote cleaner sport and provide greater abund- ance of fish and game-both furred and feathered. Each fall has found him the duck flats, trying for cross shots at mallards and teal in the hills for deer or 9 bear.
 His active sports life is one of the things that has kept him eighty years young
 However all year around, Charlie has been solldly behind the conservation programs that would provide abundance Of game for reasonable use of those who need the meat keenly enjoy the sports of hunting and fishing.
 We hope that Charle's No. l ticket brings him luck in the Salmon Derby, that he has many more enjoyable hunting trips, that his type of sportsman will increase in the northland many fold
 AS for the Salmon Derby he thinks it is step in the right direction that it should develop into an outstanding celebration in this area. With grand
