ByD. {. Girl, 13, 10
Take Stand Today

Two former CT students at the
University of Maryland, accused
of attempted attacks on a 49,
District colored girl, were
to testify in their own defense
today in Upper Marlboro Circuit
Court.
They are George T. Glorious,
"a, whose address was given as
the 2700 block Nicholson street,
Hyattsville, and Harold E. Skipper,
25. listed as living in the 1900
block Rhode Island avenue NE.
Both were indicted on~charges
of assault with intent to have
carnal knowledge, and assault
and battery. The State claims
the assaults occurred last April
% in cabin at a Berwyn tourist
camp.
Trial of the case began yesterday
before Judge Charles C. Marbury
after challenges by States Attor-
ney Carlyle j. Lancaster and De-
fense Counsel Frank M. Hall sent
court attaches scurrying through
the courthouse and on nearby
streets for prospective jurors. The
defense used Is of it's 40 challenges
and the State II of its allotted 20
before the all-white panel of nine
men and three women was COM
pleted.

mony. she and another 13-year-

and drove into Maryland. They
stopped at Green Meadows, where.
the complaining witness said, both
girls asked to be taken home. Her
companion corroborated this tes-
timony.
The complaining witness told
the court and jury that the men
drove back to Washington and let
the other girl out of the car near
her home in the Northeast Sec
ton. She said she lived at a
Northwest address several blocks
away and, because it was too far
to walk, she remained in the car
and was driven to the tourist camp

testified. tried unsuccessfully and
without using force to have illicit

she said, they drove her to within
half block of her home.

Officials Call
For P'adIocking

Donohue Believes Bill
BY West Would Cause
Places to Disappear
By Harold B. Rogers

Padlocking Of bottle clubs to-
day was urged by District officials
as the House District Committee
continued consideration of an
omnibus bill to strengthen law
enforcement here.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue predicted that if the revised
provision of the omnibus bill pro-
posed by Corporation Counsel
Vernon West were enacted, the
after hours nightspots would dis
appear.
He told the committee that the
present operators Of the bottle
clubs in all probably would not
be granted licenses even if they
applied.
Would Permit Injunction.
The West amendments to the
Inightspot licensing provision
added a section giving officials
the power to enjoin any such club
as a nuisance.
Somewhat similar to the pad
lock provisions of the prohibition
era against Speakeasies, the pad
lock section, however, would pro-
tect the innocent landlord who
was not aware his property was
being used in violation of the law.
Mr.. West defended the innocent
landlord during spirited discussion
with the committee, some of whose
members felt the landlord should
be defendant in such case. The
prohibition paddock law, he con-
tended, had resulted in unfairnesS
oy preventing owners from rent
ing their property later on.
Some Demand Abolition.
Several witnesses attacked the
bottle club as an illegal and un.
necessary institution in the Dis.
trlct. Some demanded their OUT
right abolition.
AT the questioning of Repre-
sentative Allen. Republican, of
California. some witnesses recon-
mended an extension of the pres
ent legal hours of selling liquor
in licensed establishments as an
effective weapon against the after.
hours spots.
Commissioner Donohue on this
point said this was the question
to be seriously considered by the
Commissioners. But he expressed
the opinion that unless there
should be an overwhelming de-
mand from the public for more
legal hours of selling, it might be
better to leave the regulations as
they are.
4 $1,000 or One Year Proposed.
+ The paddock provision in the
new proposal made today would
, carry a penalty of $1,000 fine or
II months imprisonment, or both,
for any person violating either the
temporary or permanent injunc-
ton granted by the court to close
establishments.
norman EomZe, president of the
washington Restaurant Beverage
Association. opposed the licensing
of bottle clubs.
Other witnesses included Elmer
Richter OF the Southwest Citizens
Association, Mrs. Ernest Howard
OF the District Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs. Horace j. Myers.
vice president of the Federation of
iBuslnessmen's Association; Lof.
ton S. Wesley Of the WASHINGTON

Board Weighs Charge
AGAINST ButterfieId
On Real Estate Deals

The District Real Estate Com
mission today was considering
complaints that Paul E. Butter
field, Washington realty dealer,
improperly withheld deposits from
prospective buyers on several area
real estate deals.
At yesterdays hearing. a group
.of veterans testified that Mr..
IButterfield accepted deposits from
more than one prospective buyer
on single property, holding the
funds several months before re-
turning them.
Mr.. Butterfield denied the
charges. However, his attorney,
Robert H. Mcneil, conceded that
his handling Of the transactions
had been a mistake" from the
standpoint Of good business prac-
Itice.
Properties Involved.
The two properties involved in
the veterans transactions are at
I219 Thirty-third street NE. and
1886 Ames street NE.
Richard B. Scott, jr., of 901
ITwenty-flrst street NE. and Mrs.
Annie M. Prophet of 1007 Eighth
street NE. testified they both put
up $500 deposits on the Thirty
third street property last October
on the impression that they were
the only prospective buyers, with
the understanding that they would
take possession within 80 days.
On learning the facts, they said,
both demanded a return of their
deposits in February and were
both repaid March 81.
A similar story was told by three
would-be buyers of the Ames street
house. Al C. Hedrick, 70 L street
NV; Charles E. Porter. 1880 First
street S.W.. and Maurice Small
wood, 1922 I street NE, each tes-
titled they made almost stimuli
taneouS deposits on the house
When none received possession
after several months. they also
received their money back on de-
mand. The deposits on both deals
amounted to $2,400.
Charges $675 Withheld.
In another case, Barrett F. Pull
liam of 1882 Columbia road NV
complained that the broker with
held $675 out of a deposit made
on a house at 18 hickory avenue
Takoma Park. after the transac-
tion fell through, claiming it as
his fee.
In his defense, Mr.. Butterfield
testified that both the deals ir
the Northeast section would have
been successfully consummated on
these properties. or like properties
if it had not been for the COM
plants of a disgruntled salesman
dismissed from the firm early ir
january.
He added that on deals involv-
ling CT loans. 1T is usual to accept
two or three deposits on the same
house because usually one will
work out"-that is. receive the ap-

Additional Items Involved.
Inability of the merchants tt

The list now includes, beside.
the items listed above, radios
musical instruments. monographs
and phonograph records, house
wares, notions, luggage. sporting
goods, jewelry, glassware, watches

Women Are Told

OclAdGOI oyIu, OcIuOCTdC, OF VII.
ginia today told delegates to the
49th annual convention of the
Virginia Federation of Women's
Clubs that this Nation must make
itself militarily strong and pre-
serve and fortify the free enter
prise system if it is to win the
worldwide struggle against COM
muniSm.
In an address before about 600
women at the Shoreham Hotel,
Senator Byrd said our chief weap-
on is mass production.
Let us do nothing to destroy
it-neither by socialism, by taxa
ton. by over-regimentation or by
tax-free Government organiza-
tions competing with private in
dustry," he said.
He warned that day by day in
this country we are letting the
Government do what we should
do ourselves"
Depl0res Disunity.
The Senator said that unfortu-
nately. at time when this Nation
is faced with great issues which
will have a lasting effect on its
history. it is more disunited than
at any time since the Civil War
Touching on the Macarthur
Truman issue, Senator Byrd said
he regrets the general was not
called to Washington before his
dismissal by President Truman so
they could sit down and discuss
the issues.
In a lighter vein he said he
often had been accused by party
line Democrats of voting with the
Republicans. Il tell them / vote
with Republicans oftener than the
Republicans vote with themselves, ;"
he said. He added, MY name
begins with a B. 1 vote first and
the Republicans vote with me-"

more than 800 clubs and 10000.
members-heard Mrs. John L..
Whitehurst. special assistant to-
the Federal civil defense admin
istrator, discuss Women in Civil
Defense" The three-day con-
vention formally opened last night.
Opportunity for Service.
Representative Smith, Demo-
|crat. of Virginia, who well
coined the club women last
might, declared their opportunity
for service was never greater than
it is today.
Taking note of the Macarthur
controversy, Mr.. Smith said:
There never was q time when we
were in more need of calm and
careful deliberation Of the prob
lens that face us. Let us hear
both sides of all questions before
we form an opinion. Let us now
lay aside personalities and politics
and work for the good of the
American people and the world at
large"
Challenge to Women.
Mrs. Hiram Cole Houghton.
president of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, making
the principal address last night,
said the thinking that will serve
this world is not what is deter
mined around council tables, but
in the fabric of decent living
Everywhere" This, she said, pre-
sents a special challenge to women.
Mrs, Houghton was introduced
by Mrs. j. L. Blair Buck of Rich
mond, an honorary president of

this reason flat paint Is advisable
for most rooms. The exceptions are
