and the Arlington boy broke into
the plant where no watchman was
on duty and stole a submachine
gun. Three hours later the three
older youths broke in again and
took the safe. two revolvers, a
carbine and large supply of am
munition.
After picking up the Arlington
boy in Washington, they drove
to Beltsville in Leach's car to
open the safe with a crowbar.
They apparently overlooked $25 in
the safe.
About the time the robbery was
discovered the youths stopped at
a garage in the $500 block of the
Baltimore boulevard at BerWyn
and asked the proprietor, Richard
Millington. if any one wanted to
buy a revolver.
The boys drove off without a
sale and Mr.. Millington called
State police. That sent Trooper
r. L. Knight into action and,
spotting the wanted car going
south on the Baltimore boulevard
at Riverdale, he gave chase.
The fleeing youths ran into a
road block at the boulevard and
Hamilton street, Hyattsville, where
two county police cruisers and
a Hyattsville town police car were
stationed.
Taken to Hyattsville police sta
ton without resistance. the youths
were questioned by FBI and Naval
Intelligence agents who later with
drew from the case. The guns
and ammunition stolen from the
Jacobs plant were found in the
car.

Although it is still too early to
say definitely that Mr.. Tawes has
taken over the party's rejns after
the smashing Republican victory
two months ago, he has displayed
more influence than any other
aspirant for party leadership.
True, the General Assembly is
controlled by Democrats, and by
decisive margins in both houses.
But the bitter primary fight be-
tween Gov. Lane and George P.
Mahoney and the formers Cefeat

Tawes has moved to heal those
wounds.

His presence did not halt the

Many questions about Christmas
have come to me, and I shall take
up three of them today.
Did the ancient Egyptians cele-
brate Christmas and did they have
a Christmas tree?" asks Dennis
White.
From Philip Heasley comes let
ter with the question, would you
tell how the Romans celebrated
Christmas long ago?"
Patricia McKernan writes, u
would like to know how the first
Christmas tree was decorated, and
who started it."
The people we usually call "an-
cient Egyptians" knew nothing
about Christmas, because they lived
long before the birth of Jesus. II
is an interesting fact, however, that
the Egyptians of about 1000 years
ago used to decorate their homes
with branches of the date palm
This was done at the time of the
winter solstice, which usually falls
on December %.
The winter solstice comes when
there is the shortest time between
sunrise and sunset. There are sew
eral days during the second half OF
December which are almost as short
as the one called the shortest
day"
During the time Of very short

brated a feast known as the Sat
This was done before and
after the birth of Jesus. The Sat-
feasting often lasted for
seven days, from December II to

wax candles during this period.

But with Mr.. Muzzy, this is a

gets the message of a fourth-best

nation to the enemy about your
holding?
Using this theory in today's hand,
Mr.. Dale led the deuce of clubs, in
stead of the six.
Now, Mr.. Champion figured Mr.. /
Dale for a four-card club holding
He started thinking about some kind
of an end-play for his nine tricks.
He did not hold off, but won the
first trick, killing Mr.. Muzzy's king
OF clubs with the ace.
Why Guess?
He ran off five diamonds, discard
ing the trey of clubs on the fifth
round. Mr.. Muzzy had to make
three discards. He threw two hearts
and spade. Mr.. Dale dropped two
small spades and the five of hearts.
At this point Mr. Champion had
six tricks in and two aces yet un-
played. He did not know which
major suit queen to finesSe for his
ninth trick. But why guess at all? /.
Just throw Mr.. Dale in with a
club and, after winning three tricks
in that suit, he would have to lead
into one of the ace-oueen combina-
tioa1s In Mr.. Champions hand.
Made No Difference.
So Mr.. Champion led club. But
things did not turn out exactly as
he expected. Mr.. Dale ran four .
club tricks instead of three. And
on the fourth one, Mr.. Champion d.
Was down to four cards. He had to
discard one of his major suit
queens.
1t was guess, and Mr.. Cham
pion guessed wrong. He played the
queen of hearts. Mr.. Dale then led
a heart and at the end Mr.. Cham
pion was forced to concede a trick
to Mr.. Muzzy's king of spades.

NAACP lnferVeneS
When Vet Hospital
Worker Is MiSfreoted
From Minnesota NAACP Press
Bureau


The State Conference of the Ma
tional Association for Advance
ment of Colored People was called
upon this week to represent one
Of the workers at Fort Smelling
Veterans Hospital who felt she
had been mistreated and humilia-
ted by one of the doctors. The
physician comes from Alabama.
II seems as though this doctor
left his pen on his desk when he
left work at 3 o'clock one after
noon. Despite the fact that his Of
flee was open and constant
stream Of traffic milled through
the building all night, he singled
out this Negro worker and &C
cused her of taking the pen after
she came to work at the next
morning.
This wasn't enough for the
dear old "Massa", however He
would have the young lady admit
her guilt and so proceeded to star
chamber proceedings and admin
istered a psychological test TO
her which would show by its re-
suit whether she was guilty or
not. This the NAACP claims he
had no legal right 70 do.
The humiliation Of the circum-
stance was too much for the wor-
ker. She Immediately got in touch
with the Grievance Executive at
the hospital and made an appoint
ment. In the meantime, she con-
tacted the state president Of the
NAACP, Rev. FIR Denzil A. Carly.
When she appeared before the
Board this week she was accom-
panied by the State president ano
the secretary Of the st. Pau,
Branch Of the NAACP, John M.
Culver. The young lady and her
representatives made a very
strong protest to the executive,
L. r. Sudman, assistant grievance
officer, who promised that he
would take the matter up with the
proper authorities. He also felt
that the high-handed method Of
the doctor was most irregular
The next afternoon. Rev. Carly,
the president Of the State Confer
ence Of the NAACP, received a
telephone call from the doctor ex-
pressing his sincere apologies for
any discomfort he had caused the
worker. Mrs. Raye Richardson,

class
For his program, Kenton will
present his Innovations in Modern
Music ii. AS was the first edition.
the second is dedicated to the de-
velopment of "a truly American
style of musical expression"
Today, Kenton says, the cultur-
al music in America is dominated
by Europe, governed almost en-
tirely by European tastes and
standards. 1t is true that Ameri-
can music must, of necessity, be
the partial accumulation of the
best that has gone before us. he
adds, but we have something to
give music ourselves.
This music which Americans
will create will be a merger Of
what men are doing in both the
contemporary classical fields and
the modernists in the jazz field.
Both such factions are moving to-
ward the same goal and the feel
ing of admiration and respect be-
tween the two expressions is
warm and constant, he said.
His innovations, Kenton declar-
ed, are but beginning. American
composers, arrangers and must
clans must pick it up from there.
Among the composers creating
modern sound whose works Ken
ton employs are Pete Rugolo,
Shorty Rogers, Bob Graettinger,
Bill Russo and Kenton hismelf.
Faces in the contemporary
scene who help produce Kenton
concerts are John Grass, Cont
