today.
The raiding parties. striking
simultaneously at four Washing

County places at 3 pm. bagged
% prisoners. The raiders in
cluded approximately 35 deputy

some assistant United States at
torneys.
A 29th defendant, absent when
his place was raided. surrendered
himself today and, like the others,
was placed under 1.500 bond.
The United States attorneys
Office expected another man to

Asked why no police were used
on the raids. Mr.. Fay replied sue
cinctly. II have no comment on
that"
Among those nabbed was Will
liam "Snags" Lewis. described by
investigators as a local big -shot"
in gambling circles: Philip Sama-
kow, alias Phil Harris, described
by Mr.. Fay as an "old-time gam
bier" and Walter Sonny Mason,
who was said to have taken over
a dead numbers operators trade.

One of the places raided was
Hammel's Restaurant, a we'll
known steak house. where at least
two judges had lunched less than
an hour before the raid. Arrested
there were Harry Kopel, CO.
owner; a waiter and a visitor
whom Mr.. Fay said had been con-
victed in the last few months on
a numbers charge.
Mr.. Fay's investigators imme-
diately started compiling their
newly collected evidence-includ-
ing corraborative statements from
some of the prisoners-for pres
entation to a special grand jury
Monday.
At the same time, Mr.. Fay an
nounced the raids were only part
Of the Governments campaign to
break up the gambling rings he
says are operating openly in this
area. He said these other steps
have been or will be taken:
/. The telephone company was
notified late yesterday to with
draw telephone service from ap-
proximately 300 subscribers on
grounds that their telephones
were used for gambling.
2. The telegraph company was
told to disconnect news tickers
carrying race information at 25
nearby Maryland locations. Tick
ers were removed from two of
these locations by raiding parties
yesterday.

From M. P. A., Alexandria,

Earlier this summer I asked II
some reader of this page still had
a surviving pattern for an old
fashioned sunbonnet. I received
several answers and had the op-
portunity to model my bonnet In
more than one fashion.
would like to show my ap-
probation by passing along few
recipes which are as old fashioned
as the sun bonnets and which I
hope will be as treasured.
Sweet Picked Apples: Make q
sirup of one cup vinegar and two
Of sugar. Add a few small pieces
Of whole cinnamon and some
whole cloves to taste. One fourth
teaspoon cayenne pepper (this is
q must ingredient). Pare and
core sweet apples, drop in sirup
and cook until tender. These
may be canned in the usual man
ner, or later as soon as they are
cold. The apples will retain their
shape and will be in a spicy
jelly. The sweet in this, recipe
refers to the variety of apple used,
not to the amount of sugar.
Sweet Picked Watermelon
Rind: Rind of / watermelon, with
green skin and pink meat re-
moved. Cut into " or "a inch
pieces. Two tablespoons calcium
hydroxide Uilly's lime which may
be purchased at any drugstore) :.

saturated solution Of lime water.
stir frequently. let stand until lime
settles. pour off clear liquid. Sec
ondly pour rind in lime water and
let sit over night. Drain and
rinse in cold water in the morn
ing. The third step is to cover
with clear water and boil until
tender (about 2 hours). Let stand
6 hours. The fourth step Is to
make picking solution, bring to a
boil, add rind and bring to boil
again. The fifth is to put in jars
and seal. Must not be used for at
least one week. These pickles are
firm and crisp. They taste best
when chilled before serving.

Washington.)
As the wife Of an Air Force
officer. whose home is in Shreve.
port, perhaps I. too. can give you
some useful information.
Living conditions in Shreveport
are similar to those near any
good-sized Air Force establish
ment. Housing in the city is
difficult to find, and rents are only
slightly lower than those in
Washington. 7 recommend that
you look for quarters in Bonier
City, which Is just across the
Red River from Shreveport and
is situated between that city and
Barksdale Field. Also, there are
a number of good tourist camps
near Barksdale which rent cabins
on a monthly basis. Most Of them
welcome children. It might be
well for you to consult the travel
agencies in Washington and try
to make some sort Of reservations
before leaving.
Regarding travel with your chill
dren. I suggest a car best as a
necessity for your 1-month-old
Also, if you have a four-door
sedan, there Is an inexpensive de-
vice on the market which may be
attached to the rear doors. This
keeps the rear doors closed tightly
unless the front door is open,
which would prevent your 3-year-
old from accidently opening the
door, and. incidently. would add
to your piece Of mind.
I also suggest that you pack
suitcases, ETC., with the things
you will need on the trip and
place them on the floor of the
car. Blankets or quilts may then be
placed on top Of the baggage and
back seat giving a comparatively
level space for 3-year-old. I think
you'll find that with more room to
move around in you child will be
happier and easier to manage dur
ing the trip.
Shreveport is farther south
than Washington, naturally, and
Of course the summers are a bit
longer. However, the climate is
very similar to that here. You
would need the same clothing as
worn in Washington during the
winter.
Barksdale is one Of the most
beautiful Air Force bases in the
country, and offers every facility
for the comfort and convenience
of its personnel and their families.
If there is any further informa-
ton you would like to know.
please write me through the RICH.
(From Mrs. S. Y. p. ArlingtonD
We drive to Shreveport and
Dallas every year and have been
doing so for many years, and
therefore I am glad to inform you
Of the climate and the road.
You will find the climate Of
Shreveport very much like the
climate in Arlington and Chevy

out there west Of the Mississippi.
Last winter was much colder in
Shreveport than here. but that Is

WASHER.

(From Mrs. L. B., Washington.) }
To Mrs. M. Z. r.: I want to
highly recommend our all auto
matte washer. We have had it for
a year and have never had any
trouble. mechanically or other
wise. It has given us good serv-
ice, sometimes washing four loads
a day. We use it nearly every
day. so the washing never piles
up. We found out, by measuring
the waste water, that our washer
uses a little more than the
standard cellar wash tub full of
water for full length wash cycle
This is less than our now-auto-

have q nicer winter than we do
here. You will find the quarters
at Barksdale good, but If you can't
be quartered at the field, you will
be able to find an apartment
across the Red River in the town.
Barksdale is east of the Red River
which is crossed by two good free
bridges.
We have driven every possible
route from Washington there just
to enable us to see the different
parts Of the country but the best
road in every way is as follows:
Washington via Route 20 to Char
lottesville, Va, then turn Cat the
second traffic light) right to
Waynesboro. then via State Route
IL to its junction with Route II,
down the Shenandoah Valley of
Virginia, follow Route II via
Knoxville, Chattanooga, Birming-
ham to Meridian CMiss). At
Meridian take Route 80 to
Shreveport. Route 80 goes through
Jackson and Vicksburg, Miss.
(where you cross the Mississippi
River into louisiana, thence
through Monroe and on to Shreve-
port. The distance is about 1900
miles.
Since you have small children,
T suggest you drive to Knoxville
the first day and stop at the
White City Court, a nice clean
modern place on Route II in the
western edge of the city. where you
can get a large double room with
private bath. This Is the hard
est day Of driving, about 500 miles,
but since it is the first day it
will be your freshest. The second
day should put you in Meridian
before dark. I'd 60 on to Jack
son and stop at the Amamo
Plaza Hotel Courts, no finer in
the United States. You should
reach Barksdale Field about the
middle Of the afternoon on the
third day. I never drive after dark
nor do I start until about 8 am.
and don't drive over IS miles an
hour.
I trust that you will have a
pleasant trip and that you will
enjoy living at Barksdale Field.
Should you wish any additional
information about the road or
about Shreveport. you may write
me through the RICH.

CLEANING MARBLE?
DENVER.


DENVER.
(From Mrs. M. G. j., Arlington.)
have recently acquired an old
chest which has marble top.
Would like information as to
proper method of cleaning marble,
as it has quite a few darkish spots,
probably caused by perfume.
A short time ago some one in
quired about Denver. We lived
there for II months, from Decem-
ber, 1914 until November, 1945.
I believe the winter of 44-45 was
unusually mild so perhaps we are
prejudiced because Of that, but we
are really sold on the climate
there. The air is dry and invigo-
rating and the year we were
there it practically never rained.
Water supply is from winter
SHOWS in the mountains so no one
cares If it never rains. Then there
is the matter Of the scenery. If
you have a car you can spend
every week end in the mountains
and see gorgeous scenery going
and coming. We would have
stayed when my husband was dis
charged from the Army, except
that it was easier to find job in
Washington, where he was known.

CRIB SHEET.
(From Mrs. P. E. G., Washington. }
In answer to Mrs. D. P. S.,
Arlington, regarding crib sheets,
I have found what I think Is even
a better way than mitered corners
on crib sheets. I take two pieces
of muslin sew them together on all
sides except one (making 1t on the
same idea as a pillow case) and
slip them over the mattress. You
can use one side until 1t is soiled,
and then turn it over and use the
other. I have two children, aged
az and / year and have used 2
sets steadily and found them very
satisfactory. Don't think it saves
much material but 1t keeps the
sheets on the mattress at all times.
I've enjoyed reading RICH ever
since we started subscribing to
The Star. Also, send many copies
to my sister in Indiana. Both of
us are very fond OF it.

Twelve Die When B-5O Explodes In England

ISLEHAM, Eng. (P)-A U. S. air force B-50 bomber with a load of live bombs dived into a wheat field yesterday and exploded with a roar heard 12 miles away. All 12 crew members were killed.
 The plane, designed as the atom bomb carrying version of the B-29, was on a 180-mile practice mis- sion to the North Sea island of Helgoland with twelve 500-pound bombs.
 Villagers said the plane appear ed to burst into flames just before it dropped through a light ground fog and struck the field. Flaming bits of the -engined craft were blown hundreds of yards in all di- rections.
 Burning gasoline set fire to a ring of farm buildings and to 60 tons of sacked wheat.
 Both British and American air craft regularly use Helgoland for live bombing practice.
 The Third Air Division said this was the first accident involv-
