Hold Up Poker Game,
Flee House With $500
Bondits Were Fooled
In Earlier Attempt
To Rob Nearby Cafe

Two youthful bandits broke up
a Suitland (Md) poker game with
a 5000 robbery at gunpoint early
today after being thwarted in a
previous holdup attempt. Prince
Georges County police reported.
The masked men held up George
M. Beltz, 1925 Meadow View road,
Suitland. and, while one guarded
the door, the other robbed Mr.
Beltz and four friends who were
playing cards in his kitchen.
Bandits Thwarted.
Quick thinking on the part of
two men at Hainey's Bar, not far
from the Beltz home in Suitland,
prevented an earlier holdup there
when they slammed the door in
the faces of the two youths. They
defied threats of shooting.
Charles Phillips, 206 Woodland
road. Morningside. said he and
another man, Terrence Cease of
Hillcrest Heights, held the door of
Hainey's Bar against determined
efforts of the bandits to push their
way in.

and we were waiting for our wives
who work at the bar to finish up"
said Mr.. Phillips, land there was
$500 or $700 in receipts on the
bar being counted.
"Stick EN- Up"

orchestra members out when a
hand holding a pistol was stuck
through the door and a man said,
Stick 'em up, this is a holdup'.
II slammed the door on his
hand and the two robbers began
pushing on the door. Mr.. Cease
joined me and the door locked
Shut
. Mr.. Phillips said he was told,
LET us in or somebody will get
shot"
Police said the two holdup men
then apparently ran to the Beltz
home about a block away and
walked in the unlocked front
door.
"The first thing we knew, a
man was standing in the kitchen
door with a pistol in his hand, +"
Mr. Beltz said. HE had his cap
pulled down over his forehead,
and was wearing sun glasses and
had a bandanna over his face. :"
This is not a toy I'm holding.
If you don't believe me just make
move" Mr.. Beltz quoted the
bandit as saying.
The five card players were
ordered into the pantry and the
robber scooped UP bills lying on
the poker table and ran out after
switching of the kitchen light.

Campaign Is Pushed
To Check Initiation
By Voluntary Means
Top Labor and industrial
Leaders to Hold Secret
Meeting on Tuesday
By jones Y. Newton


The Government today pushed
an all-out drive to curb initiation
by voluntary means without re-
sorting to compulsory price and
wage controls.
AS part of the plan, a group
of top-level labor and industrial
leaders are planning a secret
meeting in New York Tuesday
with the idea of finding ways to
maintain a high-level and healthy
civilian economy under the impact
of the huge military defense pro-
gram.
The meeting carries the bless
ings of top Federal officials con-
cerned with mobilization and
stabilization. Two of those in
vited to attend are involved ir
what is regarded as the greatest
infationary threat of the day
They are John Stephens, vice
president of United States Steel
Corp, and CIO President Philip
Murray, who is also head Of the
United Steelworkers Union.
Johnston Arranging Meeting.
The steelworkers are about tc
gain a voluntary wage increase
which is estimated at about Is
cents an hour. That will certainly
bring an increase in steel prices
but the Government is pressurine
steel producers to hold the price
rise to a minimum.
Eric Johnston, president Of the
Motion Picture Producers Asso-
ciatior and former head Of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, repeatedly is arranging the
New York meeting. Others in
vited to attend are AFL President
William Green, John L. Lewis
president of the United Mine
Workers. and Fowler Mccormick
chairman of the international
Harvester Co.
There also were these other de-
velopments:
The Wage Sterilization Board

trolls.
Will Start Work Tuesday.
Members of the wage board
headed by Cyrus S. Ching. will be
sworn in at 10 am. Tuesday
After that they will go into execu-
tive session to begin their study o1
the national economic picture.
On the congressional front
Senator Douglas, Democrat, o,
Illinois, said he feels the main re-
lance now should be on higher
taxes and credit restrictions. Blu
he warned that prices and wage!
will have to be controlled If mill.
tary spending goes above 81

Senator Fulbright, Democrat, o.
Arkansas, said he fears that 6

wage controls at this time nigh

and credit curbs. This, he added
would be a costly mistake.

The explosion which followed q
short-circuit flash tore out the

Windows were broken in the

Neighbors several blocks away

Pepco officials said they could
not estimate the number of pa
irons deprived of electricity, al
though they admitted the trouble
was "the most serious and extern
sive we have experienced in Is
years."
Partial Service Restored.
BY mid-morning emergency
crews had rigged circuits bypass
ing the blasted station, and at
least partial service had been re-
stored. Meanwhile, Pepco Off
cials said that power will be re-
turned to virtually all lines by
mid-afternoon.
Pepco officials called on patrons
in the affected area to use as little
electricity as possible until normal
service can be restored.
No official estimate of the dam
age was available, although the
top floor of the building and much
OF the equipment apparently was
a total loss.
Vaporized Oil Blamed.
Repairmen believed that ex-
traordinarily heavy flashes of volt
age on the main line vaporized
the oil in the automatic circuit
breakers, creating a gas which
ignited.
j. H. Ferry. vice president of the
power company, told reporters al
the scene it was the worst failure
of circuit breaker in more than
40 years of his experience with
the local company.
Ordinarily no workmen are
present in the station at thai
hour.
Hospitals Get Auxiliary Power.
Auxiliary plants were turned or
at the Naval Medical Center anc
the National Institute of Health
and power on their lines was re.
stored at 1880 o'clock. Meanwhile
the Bethesda Chevy Chase Rescue
Squad set up a motor generator
to supply essential power to Sub.
