Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1951-01-12

Unus, the man who stands
ON his fOrefinger, the equiii-
bristic mystery man, got his
art from the cosmos, or direct
from the center of gravity,
heads an imposing array of
tOpflight features with the
GrOttO Circus at the Sports
Arena, Sunday, January 14th
through goth.
For Unus battles the world
with his uncanny, balancing
skill. It's more than skill, at
that it's supernatural, SO
to speak. Imagine a guy on
a high pedestal i'm the center
ring of the GrOttO Circus,
standing on his cane, feet sky
ward, and holding that impOs-
sible stance for minutes. He
does the same thing ON a bill
lizard cue. He opens with the
trick that made him famous
i'm Europe - balancing him
self, upside down, ON his fore
finger. That's where his fa-
nous billing line, "Unus, the
man who stands on his fore
finger" came from. Even
when you see Unus do all
these things and more -
: YOU won't believe it.

ANNAPOLIS. April 14.-Tide-
water enforcement officers seized
1,103 pounds of oversize rockfish
in one shipment to the Baltimore
market, the State Fisheries Com

two investigators confiscated the
big fish two days ago on tip from
an unnamed source. The illegal
rock varied from II to IS pounds,
Mr.. Brice said.
State law forbids possession of
rock exceeding Is pounds.
Officers Joe Vaeth and John

wrapped in burlap, resembling an
oyster shipment. They had been
sent from the Eastern Shore. The

been filed, but the illegal shipment
still is under investigation

This was the first capture in Bal
timore's fish market.

Hearing Set on Bill
To Extend Sunday
Liquor Sale Hours
By q steff Correspondent, Of The sssr

ANNAPOLIS, April 14.-Gov.
McKeldin. has set April 80 as the
date for a hearing on a bill passed
by the General Assembly which
would permit sale of alcoholic bev-
erages in Prince Georges County
until 2 am! Sundays. "%tEt
The hearing will be at 10 am. in
the State House.
Yesterday, a Prince Georges
County grand jury strongly criti-
cized the bill. The jury said:
ANY law regulating the hours
of the sale Of alcoholic beverages
in the county which does not con-
form to that of the District of CO.
lumbia, will greatly increase law
lessness."
The Prince Georges County
Commissioners yesterday added
their protest in a resolution ask
ing the Governor to veto the
measure.
A spokesman for the Governor
said the hearing had been sched-
uled after complaints had been re-
ceived from county civic organi-
cations and individuals. The bur-
den Of the complaint, the spokes-
man said is to the effect that since
liquor establishments in Washing
ton close at midnight Saturdays,
Prince Georges would be subject
to a heavy influx of undesirables
in the early morning hours.
Gov. McKeldin did not include
the bill on his agenda yesterday
when ITS other bills were acted on,
the spokesman said, because
Prince Georges Republican State
Senator John r. Fletcher had re-
quested that he withhold action
until the Senator can confer per-
sonally with the Governor.
The proposed legislation was
passed in the frenzy Of the legis-
lature's closing days.
Sheriff Carlton G. Beall of
Prince Georges and John v. Tor
vestad, Mayor of Colmar Manor,
have urged the Governor to veto
the legislation.

BY the Assoeiated Press

BALTIMORE. April 14.-Mary-

expressway is about complete,
Under an agreement with the
Federal Government, the State
would foot the bill for the new
denied-access highway from Balti-

Congress approved the Federal

thorized $13 million for its part.
The Maryland design included a.
112 mile spur road into the

and another to connect with Grain
highway at Nursery road, a dis
tance of three miles, plus three
cloverleaf intersections. The air.
port spur has been completed. The

month ago.
The Federal Governments por-

One of former Gov. Lanes pet
projects when he outlined his
5000 million roads Improvement
program in 1947 was a new
denied-access link between Fred
erick and Washington. called the
Washington National Pike.
The first 4.6-mile section of this
pike south of Frederick is about |
