SINGERS CHORUS
 DELIGHTS CROWD
 Al JWC C0N(EDT

A near-capacity house at the 2Oth Century Theater last night enjoyed a bright, gay evening of entertainment by the Juneau Sing CTS, sponsored by the Juneau Women's Club. The production was directed hy Jane McMullin and Dolores Mattila was accompanist.
 The harmany and blendings of voices were outstanding with fine spirit of cooperation, and the players seemed to enjoy themselves as much as the audience.
 In the first part, the ladies chorus in delicate pastel gowns, the men in formal presented as an opening number, "Alaska's Flag" arranged by Fred Waring This was followed by a delicate Prelude, Tales from the Vienna Woods, and Hymn to Music. In this number Dolores Mattila. as soloist received most merited applause. The final number of the first part was the Spirit of Music by the Chorus.
 During the first part Miss Mat tila and Mrs. McMullin received bouquets of appreciation.
 After intermission the audience necessarily was taken into confi- dence of the business arranging stage props such as baled hay for the Louisiana Hayride theme which followed. The second section op- ened and closed with the rollicky hayride music.
 The opening number was by so- loists Ruth Nelson, Larry Parker and Fred McGinnis. Without hesi- tation the mems chorus gathered around a campfire and sang Down the Valley. A mixed group followed with Canto Buffo. Then Ifca's Castle, folk song was followed with Polly-Wolly-Doodle.
 Lois and William Reedy, Betty Hammond and Richard Freer did a square dance, after which the mems chorus sang I'se Been Listenin'.
 Roe Alexander stepped out and sang a Bushel and Peck. The audience demanded more and she gave two encores during which the spotlight failed to keep up with her fast pace. She reached and grabbed her audience to prove that she was a real trouper. She was without doubt the standout performer of the evening.
 A bright speciality dance followed the women's chorus sang Dream boats. Soloists Frances Paul. Lois Reedy and William Paul, Jr. did Vanka N Tanka. followed by the entire troup in the finale, on the hayride theme, leaving the audience with a feeling that they looked in on some folks who were having a lot of fun
 Half of the proceeds from the show will go toward sending the Juneau High School Band and vocal groups to Ketchikan to com- pete in the Southeast Alaska musir festival next month.
 Members of the JWC, in formals acted as ushers.
 It might be added that the au- dience, after the curtain on the second part, insisted on an encore out none was given, which is rare in entertainments like last even ing.

McKeIdin Backs Call for Baltimore Crime Probe

enced crime investigators to get
to the bottom Of the situation In
Baltimore City, Baltimore County
and Anne Arundel County.
Judge Sherbow suggested that
the group employ Downey Rice,
associate counsel to the Senate
Crime Investigating Committee.
"or some one equally capable of
doing good job" He also pro-
posed that Gov. McKeldin be
asked for $4,000 to carry out the
probe.

has acquaintanceship with the
community knows that gambling

Judge Sherbow said the investi-
cation should be conducted for the
entire Baltimore area because it is
Ievident the syndicate operations
extend beyond city boundaries.
There was speculation among
those at the hearing whether such
an investigation. with State sup
port, would not have to be ex-
tended to other communities, such
as Prince Georges County.
Judge Sherbow's proposal ran
into immediate opposition. State
Senator John G. Turnbull, Demo-
crat, OF Baltimore County declared
he is fed up with commission gov

Icality should clean up it's own
crime through grand jury investi-
cations and the work of law en-

BALTIMORE. Sept. 12.-Gov.
McKeldin said today the State
will underwrite an exhaustive in
Ivestigation of organized crime in
the Baltimore area along lines
urged by Judge Joseph Sherbow
The offer was contingent. how

plans to appoint to study the Bal

came while doubt surrounded the
subcommittee's willingness to
launch such an investigation.
Members of the Committee headed
by State Senator Omar D. Croth-
Iers, Democrat, of Cecil County,
conceded that their opinions differ
over the responsibility for ferret
ing out racketeers and corrup-
ton.
Asks Conference Soon,
In a letter to Senator Crothers,
Gov. McKeldin said he was conf

appropriation from the State

both economy and effectiveness, p"
the Governor wrote, IF my COM
mission were to sit in hearings
with your committee, with the
right to participate in the ques-
tioning of witnesses"
The Governor also suggested
that the committee cooperate by
calling witnesses requested by
members of his commission.
Time would be saved by this
procedure" the Governor said.

would be of considerable help to

He asked Senator Crothers to

Charged by Sherbow.
At public hearing here yester-
day, Judge Sherbow. a member of
the Supreme Bench of Baltimore,
pointedly told the committee it is
charged by legislative resolution
with the duty of conducting a full
scale investigation of Maryland

Chairman Crothers had stated
that the chief purpose of the COM
mittee is to find out what changes,
if any. should be made in the
State laws to help local law en-
forcement.

mittee to recess the one-day hear

Outside the hearing room, Sen

like manner.
Now, if both counties assess
such holdings, the courts may be
asked to order a survey to re-
establish boundaries.
Colonial surveyors fixed the
Prince Georges line when that
county was carved out of Charles
County in 1896. The border pre-
sumably remained the same when
Montgomery was hacked from
Frederick County 80 years later.
Portions Resurveyed.
Portions of the line. with ex-
tremities at points on the Patux-
ent and Potomac Rivers, have
been resurveyed, but other seq
ments have not. Thus border
residents in the Laurel and other
areas do not know whether they
live in Montgomery or Prince
Georges.

Boyle sold to the sanitary COM

Move to Bar Arlington Board

that there is no proposal for an
