Rollins said, he and Mr.. Rowell
were In the Yellow Cab restaurant
at 1901 New York avenue NV.
when Mr.. Rowell told him he knew
who had beaten him up and that
they were police plainclothesmen.
About 10 days or two weeks ago,
he continued. Mr.. Rowell. Cab
Driver Harry Fisher of the 1900
block Of Park View avenue. Falls
Church. Va, were sharing a hack
stand near Georgetown Hospital.
Mr.. Rollins said he told Mr..
Fisher to ask Mr.. Rowell "how
much he got paid" Mr.. Rollins
said Mr.. Fisher talked with Mr..
Rowell and then reported Mr..
Rowell said he got 5000. s.-
Mr.. Fisher. who appeared later
before the grand jury. recalled the
incident but said both he and MIR.
Rowell were joking about a pay
off at the time. Mr.. Fisher said
Mr.. Rowell insisted to him he did
not know who had beaten him up.
Tell Conflicting Stories. '''
Meanwhile, after testifying be-
fore the grand jury Mr.. Rowell
and his brother er-in-law, DONNA
De Griffiop. told reporters con-
flicting stories.
Mr.. Rowell insisted again that
he did not know the identity Of
the two men who jumped him at
Thomas Circle.
Mr.. De Griffion claims Mr..
Rowell told him the names Of his
assailants about five hours after
the beating when the brother-in-
law came to see him at Prince
Georges County Hospital.
Mr.. De Griffion said Mr.. Rowell
told him about two uniformed
policemen approaching while the
beating was underway. He quoted
Mr.. Rowell as telling him the uni
formed men asked what was going
on and the two assailants identi-
fed themselves g. plainclothes-
men, gave their nemes and showed
tn ,ir credentials.
After reading about Mr.. De Crit
fion's statement in the newspapers.
Mr.. Rowell came to The Star to
deny his brother in laws account
of the incident.
Mr.. Rowell said Mr.. De Griff1on
had talked with him at Prince
Georges County Hospital but no
names were mentioned.
About a month ago, he said.

he said. DE Griff1on called my
wife and told her I said the police
paid me $4,000 to keep my mouth
shut and that I was sick and tired
and going away for q rest"
The story of getting q $4,000
payoff, Mr.. Rowell said. was un-
true.
Nearly two dozen witnesses
have been heard by the grand jury
and the inquiry may extend into
next week.
The case is being presented by
william A. Paisley and Leo Melt

Directive Faces Fight.
The possibility appeared today
that several telephone subscribers
will fight Mr.. Fay's directive which
would have the force of cutting of
service next Tuesday. The prose-
cutor contends the phones have
been used to promote gambling.
In one case, Attorney Jack Dia-
mond said he would go into court
Monday and ask for restraining
order If Mr.. Fay or the telephone
company refuses to rescind the
cutoff order.
Mr.. Diamonds s interest is In two
telephones, one in the home OF
Andrew P. Gordon, 36, colored.
and the other in a pool hall In
which Gordon and his wife have
an interest.
Gordon has been in jail since
last October and MIR. Diamond
said he has positive proof his resi-
dence phone in the 4600 block
Of Hayes street NE. has not been
used for gambling since Gordon
was sentenced.
Phone Is In Booth.
The pool hall telephone is OF the
pay type located IN a booth. Mr..
Diamond questioned the validity
of holding a proprietor responsible
for what goes on in public tele-
phone booth.
At least two other complaints
have been lodged against Mr..
Fay's 'shut-off order for 300 tele-
phones and there we're indications
that more attorneys would ask for
restraining orders. A telephone
company spokesman said it was
following Mr.. Fay's instructions
and that any comment must come
from him.
saith Defendant Seized.
Yesterday the 34th defendant
was arrested as an aftermath to
last weeks raids.
He was Thomas 3. White, So. of
1904 North Quincy street, Airing
ton. who was picked UP at his
home by a deputy marshal.
The first man arrested in Vir-
sinia as result of the raids,
White was brought before United
States Commissioner Cyril S. Law
renee and posted $500 bond.
Following a pattern set in other
hearings, Attorney Myron G. Ehr-
Itch demanded a hearing for his
client. II was denied when the
Government said its case was not
ready, and the hearing was set
for April 13.
Mr.. Ehrlich protested that White
was illegally arrested in Virginia
on q District warrant and by a
United States deputy marshal and
was brought into the District
against. his will.
Subterfuge Charged.
Charging that the Government
Is engaging in subterfuge." Mr..
Ehrlich said he believed the case
would be presented directly to the
grand jury without a hearing.
In another facet of the gambling
situation, the Government lost an
important round in its prosecution
of two men charged with setting
up and keeping a gaming table for
horse betting.
District Court Judge Henry A.
Echweinhaut yesterday granted
defense motion to suppress evi-
dence in the case against DR.. Max
Schwarz and Louis Walter Dove,

The motion to suppress evidence
vas granted after Judge Schwein-
haut yesterday had visited the
scene of the arrest made last Oc-
tober at 2151 California street

A letter printed here a few weeks
ago told, in Burt Garnett's own
words, of the Key West Players
plans to hold world premier OF a
new play, Ones a Crowd" by Eu-
gene Raskin, a professor of archi-
lecture at Columbia University.
Since then the premier has been
held and, in Mr.. Garnett's further
words, this is how it went:
Our world premiere went off
pretty good, but attendance fell
slightly opening night because of a
certain repugnance some of our
members have toward getting into
evehlng clothes and because the
gala performance price was hiked
from the usual sl50 to $3.50.
Mr.. and Mrs Raskin are very
pleasant people-she is a mighty
pretty girl-and they have been
quite complimentary about the Key
West PLAYERS production Of their
precious baby. They haven't said
that they think the New York pro-
ducuion can't possibly be as good,
however.

Spring Rally Hopes
Rise in Wall Street
After Fridays Squirt
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 12.-Wall
Streets hopes for spring rally
In the stock market took on new
life this week.
On Friday the market snapped
out of its coma with the largest
average gain in more than two
months. The forward momentum
carried through to today'S short
session when key issues moved up
fractions to more than a point.
At the week end the price level,
rs measured by the Associated
Press average of 60 stocks, was
the highest since February 4.
Saturdays advance was con-
sidered impressive by many finan-
cial men in view of the news that

The work stoppage will have
little effect on industrial coal con-
sumers who are we'll stocked up.
For coal-carrying railroads it will
be another story. Revenues from
coal transportation, of course, will
drop to zero-and for some roads
coal ranks high as an income
producer.
Railroads to Cut Jobs.

be the addition of tens of thou
sands of railroad workers to the
unemployed lists. Pennsylvania
