The ancient Indian legend told
about the two maidens who cried
"a princess because she lost her
lover and the other because she
had the misfortune to marry him.
The legend then relates that
the teardrops of the maidens be-
came two pear-shaped diamonds
of great beauty, found in Indore.
Like all legends, this one may
be made of whole-cloth. But the
diamonds are not. Their total
weight Of 100 carats makes them
outstanding.
These diamonds and others
from the Harry Winston collec-
ton, worth $40 million, were on
display today and will be tomorrow
in the American Security & Trust
Co. Building, Fifteenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue NV. with
the proceeds of admission, a dollar
or more, going for equipment and
furnishings for the, new wing of
the Washington Home for In
curables.
Hope Diamond on View.
Encased behind a pure curved
viewing glass. the Hope diamond,
as seen at a preview last night,
shone as a midnight-blue jewel
OF f1awless purity. Its history
started in 1912, when the jewel,
often considered unlucky, was
Smuggled out by a Frenchman,
sold to Louis XIV, and stolen
from the French Treasury during
the revolution.
Then 1t successfully was owned
by the English banker, Henry
Thomas Hope; Turkish Sultan
Abdul Hamid II. Evalyn Walsh
Mclean and Mr.. Winston. Dur
ing its somewhat sinister history,
the jewel. now cut to AS carts
from its original 112.5, was worn
by tragic Marie Antoinette.
Nearby is the Vargas bracelet,
which came into being through

mond. the worlds fourth largest

noted for its extraordinary clarity
and blue-white color. Then there

So. Some are due to arrive from
Boston, another East coast port
hit in the walkout.
The immediate result was a cru
cial shortage of space faR incom-
ing vessels. Fourteen ships which
planned to dock here already had
been turned down.
Rain Is Another Problem.
A steady rain was aggravating
the situation as ships scheduled
to sail last night were unable to
finish loading their cargoes. How
ever, the weather was expected to
clear today.
More than 10000 of the IS, 900
stevedores on the East coast have
gone on wildcat strike in protest
against new contract. They are
members of the AFL international
Longshoremen'S Association.
The first two ships to arrive
from New York were the Dutch
flag Westerdam, passenger
cargo vessel, and the Swedish mo-
tor vessel Minnesota.
The Danish ship Hulda Maersk
with a shipment of 200 monkeys
and tiger came in late last night.
She was en- route to New York
from Bangkok when the captain
got word that the port here was
accepting diverted cargo. Origin
ally longshoremen here said they
would refuse to handle ships sent
from strike bound ports.
Railroads Expect Boost.
Meanwhile, railroads were also
preparing to handle a big step
up in business at their pier termi-
mails.
Lines that do not come to Balti-
more under normal conditions
were the ones being turned down.
A local freight forwarder said
last night, This is the best oppor-
tunity Baltimore has ever had. Not
only are we going to get a lot Of
business now but we're going to
retain some of it in the future.
New Yorkers Shocked"
"Why, when I talked to some
of the boys in New York today,
telling them what facilities we had
to handle their cargo, they were
shocked. They had no conception
that Baltimore was so big and
could do so much. They just never
thought in any terms other than
New York before.
Among the items loaded here
yesterday were 8,700 bags of mail
bound for the Baltic area. The
bags, normally loaded in New York,
are going out on the s. S. Nor
macpine. Foreign mail seldom is
sent from Baltimore because of
the lack of direct sailings from
here.
Other special cargoes coming
into Baltimore as a result of di-
version from the North include
1900 tons of copper from the
Maipo, due in tomorrow; beer,
champagne and steel rods on the
Havfalk, due in today.

Trial
In Arlington
Gets 35-Yeur Term
In Foirfux Court for
Assault on Bride

John Robert Polk, sentenced to
a 35-year jail term for the rape
of young bride last June, was
to be transferred from Fairfax
ljail to Arlington today to await
further trial.
/ Fairfax Circuit Court Judge
Arthur Sinclair imposed sentence
yesterday. after Polk had pleaded
guilty. At the Arlington trial, set
for November 20. Polk faces
charges Of kidnapping, burglary
and abduction, carrying a maxi
mum penalty Of death.
7 Polk's companion in the kidnap-
assault. William Robert Payne, Is,
Iof Bethesda. also has pleaded
guilty and will be sentenced In
Fairfax Circuit Court.
Court Told OF Attack.
Judge Sinclair yesterday heard
the attractive, 20-year-old wife Of
"a Navy officer describe how Polk
pointed a rifle and a flashlight
through the open window Of her
Colonial Village bedroom on the
night Of June 90.
Polk ordered her to accompany
him and threatened to shoot her
husband, whom she had married
only eight days before. unless she
complied. She climbed through
the window and, with the rifle
pressed against her back, was
forced to walk to a waiting car.
At Great Falls in Fairfax
County she was assaulted five
times by the two men. They
drove her back to Arlington and
let her out of the car near the
home Of police lieutenant. Both
Polk and Payne were arrested
within a few hours.
Before passing sentence on the
husky former mechanic, Judge
Sinclair asked If he had any
thing to say. Polk said he did not.
Commonwealth's Attorney Hugh
B. Marsh had recommended that
In view of Polk's plea of guilty. a
30-year sentence be imposed. The
defendants attorney. Edward C..
Hall. said he believed a S or 10
year term would be just.
Calls Sentence Lenient.
The Judge said he considered a
35-year sentence extremely lenient
and he warned Polk that, unless
his prison behavior is good, he will
have to serve the full term.
II you try to escape from the
penitentiary," Judge Sinclair told
FOLK, you may not get away
alive"
Since his arrest on the kidnap-
assault charge. Polk has been con-
victed Of attempting to escape
from Arlington Jail and was fined
$500 and given a six-month term
Probation Officer Charles Booth
reviewed Polk's criminal record
from the time the defendant was
9 years old. Mr.. Booth said he
could find no mitigating or ex-
tenuatting circumstances, and he
found Polk refused to profit from
any advice over a period Of years !"
Polk is about average in intel
ligence. the probation officer re-
ported. but is "of an anti-social
nature"
Mr.. Booth said the prisoner will
be eligible for parole after he has
served one-fourth Of his term, or
about nine years.
