Bosic Gets
 Swing Stamp

NEW YORK Earl (Blossman) Bostic's rating as a member of the top rated contemporary jazz musicians will become definite next week when the famed "Stomp King" moves into the Savoy Ball. room for a limited two week en- gagement.
 Although Bostic has rated in the top popular music brackets for sev- era1 years both as an instrumenta- list and band leader, he has never played the Lenox Avenue 'Home of Happy Feet" Actually, an over loaded schedule has made it inn possible for Bostic to have ac- cepted a date in the Savory before this.
 Rightfully or not, the Savoy has come to be looked upon as the fountainhead of jazz among Ne gro musicians in America. For that reason, no band is considered to have officially arrived" until it rates being "invited''to play date in the Savoy. Acceptance by the cliants and management of the colorful dance palace puts the stamp of approval on the aggega- tion as belonging to the big time grouping.
 Thus, Bostic having won every other recognition award now final ly has the nod from Jazz ivory tower, the Savoy Ballroom.

White House Work
To Start in Few DAYS

John McShain, Inc, successful
bidder for the job of restoring the
White House and making it safe,
is expected to take complete pos
session of the abandoned maEsion
in matter of days now.
The necessary order to start
the work-already delayed for
nearly a year-may be issued to-
day by the Commission on Reno
vation of the Executive Mansion,
which is in overall charge. A few
matters remained for adjustment
when the commission met earlier
in the day.
The McShain firm will submit
for approval a sub-contract for
the underpinning. Discovery that
the White House foundations were
in precarious condition and now
must be sunk to depth Of about
20 feet to gravel terrain was one
of the reasons for delay in start

factor was the split in Congress
over the question Of whether to
renovate the 150-year-old man

site. The renovaters won out.
but months of delay resulted.

|Wagstaff Back in Jail
Awaiting Sentence
In Assault on Maid

Joseph A. Wagstaff, "a, of Chevy
Chase, was back in Jail today, this
time awaiting sentencing on an
assault conviction.
Wagstaff, who has ben in Gus
tody repeatedly, was committed
to the Rockville Jail by Judge
Charles w. Woodward after jury
convicted him in Montgomery
County Circuit Court. The jury
heard his appeal from the
Bethesda police court conviction.
In February, that court ordered
him to serve two years in the
Maryland House of Corrections.
Trial Magistrate Warren Brown
ing's decision was appealed and
Wagstaff had been free under
$4,000 bond pending the Circuit
Court hearing.
Has Long Record.
Wagstaff. wartime veteran OF
the merchant marine, has served
sentences in Nevada and in Wash
ington. He also spent several
months in a New York City Jail
since the Bethesda conviction. His
record includes arrests on charges
ranging from traffic violations to
assault with intent to kill.
Judge Woodward deferred SEN
fencing and remanded the youth
to Jail.
Wagstaff's attorney, James
Pugh. indicated he would ask the
court to commit the man to the
Maryland Reformatory for Males,
Hagerstown, which is for violators
under Is years of age, rather than
to the Maryland House of Correc-
tion.
The latest conviction is a re-
suit Of a charge brought by a
maid at his home in the $500 block
of Grove street, Chevy Chase.
Knife Attack Charged.
The maid, Frances Tolson, COL
ored, of 1922 Fifteenth street
NV, charged Wagstaff lunged at
her with a pairing knife during a
family argument. The woman said
she lodged when Wagstaff came
at her with the knife and that
the weapon was bent against the
kitchen sink. The knife was in
troduced by the State as evidence.
Wagstaf denied attempting to
stab the maid. The jury required
only five minutes to find him
guilty, however.
Magistrate Browning declared
at the, police court trial that a
"psychopathic personality like
Wagstaff should not be left at
large" and asserted that society
and the Maryland General Assem-
bly, had failed to provide adequate
facilities in the State for such
cases.
