and the Arlington boy broke into
the plant where no watchman was
on duty and stole q submachine
gun. Three hours later the three
older youths broke in again and
took the safe, two revolvers, a
carbine and a 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
garage in the $500 block of the
Baltimore boulevard at Berwyn
and asked the proprietor. Richard
Millington, if any one wanted to
buy 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.

By J. l. MichoeI
Special Star CORRESPONDENT

LEONARDTOWN, Md, Jan. 6.
"A general registration of st.
Marys County voters has been
suggested for 1851 because "the
present books contain a large
number of voters who are dead"
or have moved away.
The suggestion came from the
county's Republican Central Com
mittee in an open letter to the
county's legislators.
The request was one of II pro-
posals offered by j. Donelin Hurry
chairman of the Central Com
mittee. who said he would make
more suggestions later.
Another committee proposal may
revive in the General Assembly
the perennial question of repeal
ing Maryland's Jim Crow law, now
enforced only on Chesapeake Bay
ferries.
Repeal the Jim Grow law" Mr..
Hurry wrote. 1--WE have no ra-
cial difficulties in our State and
the law, although not enforced,
is disgrace not only to the COL
ored race but to all decent
minded citizens"
The countys Republican State
Senator, Paul j. Bailey, and its
two Democratic delegates, Roland
B. Duke, and Henry J. Fowler,
say they have the matter under
advisement.
Year after year Maryland law
makers have squirmed when the
subject was mentioned. Several
times repealers have passed one
house only to wind up in pigeon
holes of the other.

head. And observers believe he is
laying the groundwork for his
campaign for Governor in 1854.
Four years ago, Mr.. Tawes lost
the Democratic nomination to Gov.
Lane in a bitterly fought primary.
When the Legislature convened
in 1947, James j. Lacy sat in Mr..
Tawes' old Office as controller.
Won without Challenge.
But differences soon were elirni-
mated. Gov. Lane named his form
er opponent State Barking Com
missioner. He was elected to his
old post as Controller when Mr..
Lacy died last year. And last
November, he had no challengers
from either party in his bid for
another four-year term.
Although it is still too early to
say definitely that Mr.. Tawes has
taken over the party's rejrs otter
the smashing Republican victory
two months ago, he has displayed
more influence than any other
aspirant for party leadership.
True, the General Assembly IL
controlled by Democrats, end by
decisive margins in both houses.
But the bitter primary fight be-
tween Gov. Lane and George p.
Mahoney and the formers Cefeat
in the general election by Repub-
lican Theodore r. McKeldin left
many factional wounds. Mr..
Tawes has moved to heal those
wounds.
He presided at a possession
gathering of Democratic State
legislators in Baltimore, and again
here just before the Legislature
convened Wednesday.
Reported Assured Of Support.
His presence did not halt the
pickering, but he was successful
in swinging the Eastern Shore
delegations behind two Baltimore
men for the two key legislative
positions-Senate President and
House Speaker. In return, he is
reported to have exacted promise
from the powerful Baltimore dele
cation to support him for Gov
ernor four years from now-if he
decides to run.
The 56-year-old State official
has more than 20 years of political
experience to call upon in his
peace-making job.
He entered active politics in 1929
to please friend who sought help
in getting elected to the State
Senate. The friend lost. MIR.
Tawes, a Crisfield businessman,
was chosen Somerset County Court
clerk. He was elected to the first
OF two consecutive terms as con-
troller in 1898.
