School 10 Renew Plea
TO Establish Itself
On WoodIey Estate

A renewal of the Maret Schools
controversial plea to establish it
self on the Woodley estate, 5000
Cathedral avenue NV, will be
heard by the Board of Zoning Ad-
justment May %.
The move was forbidden by the
board early last year. The school
now at 2118 Kalorama road NV,
owns eight acres of the Woodley
property.
At the hearing last year, a group
Iof property owners in the exclu-
|sive residential section protested
against any use of the Woodley
tract which would not preserve it's
present character.
Opposition Planned.
Renewal of opposition is being
planned for the coming hearing.
Besides the opposing neighbors,
the Citizens Emergency Commit
tee to Save Historic Woodley and
|Woodley Park is working to keep
the estate intact.
Woodley, once the home of the
late Henry L. Stimson, former
Secretary of War, was the summer
home of four Presidents-Tyler.
Van Buren, Buchanan and Cleve-
land.
Preservation forces have con-
templated a national drive for
funds to purchase the estate, with
the idea that the historic build
ing and park would be opened to
the public.
Request Rejected.
The Zoning Commission last
year rejected a request for re-
Izoning part of the tract not owned
by the school to permit apartment
building construction.
That proposal covered about II
acres on the west side of Twenty
ninth street between Cleveland
and Cathedral avenues NV. A
de luxe type development was
planned for the area, owned by
Edward c. Baltz, president of the
Perpetual Building Association;
Thornton w. Owen, president of
the Washington Board of Trade
and Ned Bord. real estate man.

blood program established in
January 1948-already has COL
lected 2,076.100 pints of blood and
has been designated the official
agency to procure blood for the
armed forces.
Last June the Red Cross was
collecting about $4,000 pints of
blood a month, entirely for civil
ian use. Two months later. follow
ing the outbreak of the Korean
war and designation Of the Red
Cross for military blood procure
ment, collections went to 1000
pintS a month.
Present collections are running
$4,000 pints a month and all
quotas set by the military have
been met. Included in the monthly
total are $4,000 pints furnished by
cooperating blood banks.
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway.
United Nations commander in Ko-
rea, wrote the Red Cross last
week:
Most impressive of all Red
Cross services Ito the military is
the life-giving blood which is sup
piled to our wounded soldiers in
aid stations and hospitals. Every
member of your organization and
every American who has given
blood to the Red Cross can and
should feel that he personally has
directly contributed to the saving
Of the life of an American bcy."
Serve Armed Forces.
Service to the armed forces is q
charter obligation of the Red
Cross. Records show the Red
Cross handled an annual average
OF 2,261 900 cases for servicemen
and veterans and their dependents
since 1885. A case, in this IN
stance. might involve verifying
for the military the need for a
serviceman's presence at home be-
cause of illness or death in his
family; handling veterans
claim for Government benefits.
etc.
Red Cross emergency loans and
grants to servicemen and their
dependents during the last IS
years totaled over SIP million.
Financial assistance to veterans
in the last five years amounted to
$22 million.
Activities for servicemen and
their families are conducted by
field directors with the service-
men and by Red Cross chapters
working with the serviceman's
family at the other end of the line.
At present, 10 field directors
and hospital workers are serving
American forces in Korea. Others
are or duty wherever United
States forces are located.
During World War II, 81 Red
Cross workers-51 women and 81
men-died serving the armed
forces overseas. In World War I
the number of dead was 70.
Records show the Red Cross
pioneered in several fields, only
to turn the work over later to
agencies established to specialize
in the work. Examples are pro-
duction of books for the blind
and the sale of tuberculosis Christ
mas seals.
In 1918 the Chicago chapter
began producing Braille books to
help rehibilitate blinded service
men. Four years later the project
became part of the National Red
Cross program. The work was dis
continued in 1912 because of wide
spread commercial developments
in the field.
In the field of foreign relief,
Red Cross aid amounted to $751;
100000 since 1906. Among prin.
cipal items in the roster of FAM
ines, floods, earthquakes and
storms was the $11 300, 900 spent
for victims of the 1923 Japanese
earthquake and the $4,000, 900 for
sufferers in the 1928 West Indies
hurricane.

Express Sports Editor

What may turn out to be the Eight of the Year"
is favored to see the m~iddleweight championship change
hands in the Chicago Arena tonight when Sugar" Ray
Robinson, world welterweight champion steps through the
ropes against Jake LaMatto, middleweight king.
According to the fight experts and sport writer's,
the Sugar is the 3R to l favorite over the boss of the
middleweight class. The record shows the two have met
five times with Robinson winning four of them. None of
the previous fights were title matches, however.
The Welter champ will be giving away five or six
pounds to the "Bull' since he fights within the 147-pound
limit. LaMattow will have trouble making the 100 limit for
his class, and according to the contract, if Jake fails to
make the required weight by weighing-in time he will
forfeit the title 20 Robinson. They weight in at II A. NE.
Dayton time. If LaMottaf fails to make the weight at that
time he will get his second chance two hours later.
In the meantime, Robinson will be trying to add a
few pounds to make it 155 by the time of the fight. He
weighed 1852 Sunday. Both fighters are in the pink of
shape for the match, and according to the experts, Robin
son should have no trouble winning from LaMatto
The fight will be televised and broadcast over VIII

scholars at the Columbia University School of Law.
Friends said that a few years ago he had to go away
for a rest when it was discovered he was suffering
from the dread disease tuberculosis. Harris had
just returned from serving in World War II.
The young law student had returned to his
studies three years ago with such vigor that his grad
uation with honors next June was a foregone con-
clusion.
Detectives pieced together the tragic story
this way. The quiet Knoxville, Tenn. youth evidently
spent a ~sleepless night worrying about the results of
a recent medical test. With the neatness which mark
ed all his work young Harris penned four brief notes.
On one piece of paper was a key. The note read:
''This key is for my desk" Anothr note, also with a
key on it, said: "This key is for my typewriter" An
other: "This key is for my trunk" The fourth note
was Harris will leaving all he could to a school he
loved = "To Columbia University Law School l be-
queath all my law books"
There was no note to his mother, Mrs. Mary
Harris of Knoxville.
Police said that it was after penning the notes
in his 11th-floor room that he knotted a necktie tight
ly around his throat, then slashed both wrists with a
razor blade, stumbled to the window, rolled over the
sill and plunged to the pavement, where he was found
clad in pajamas and bathrobe.

Middle Crews Score
Sweep Over Cornell,
Columbia on Severn
By the Assoeioied Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 5-Navy
crews rowed in the rain to a clean
sweep over Cornell and Columbia
on the Severn River today.
Stroking smoothly and deliber-
Iately at a comparatively lazy
beat. the midshipmen spurted
ahead at the start and stayed
there to beat Cornell by length
and a half in the varsity grind
over a mile and three-quarter
course. Columbia was a distant
third, three lengths behind Cor
nell.
Gets Second Rung on Cup.
The decision over Columbia
gave Navy its second rung on the
Maxwell Steveson Cup, advanced
last year for rowing competition
between the schools. AS it turned
out, Columbia was never a factor
as Cornell provided the only real
challenge to Coach Rusty Callow's
boatload.
Middies won just as decisively
in the freshman and junior var
sity tests. rowed over the same
distance on a cold, drizzly after
noon.
First Triumph for Callow.
The sweep gave Callow his first
triumph as skipper of Navy crews,
a post the veteran assumed this
lyear. The Middies lost to Prince
ton in their opener.
Stroked by Toxey Calif, a 172-
pound Junior from Charleston,
S. c., Navys varsity shell took off
at a beat of 40 to the minute.
Califf quickly toned down the pace
and except for the last Is strokes
slid along at a 29-beat. The Mid
shipmen picked it up to 40 for
the final kick. .-
Navy was clocked in 8 minutes
53.3 seconds. Cornell finished in
8 minutes 597 seconds, and Co.
llumbia in 8 minutes 1913 seconds
