Court Upho|ds Police
Who Searched Pair
In Gambling Raid

The right of police to search
two men, one of whom entered a
building after police had entered
with a warrant. was upheld today
by the United States Court of
Appeals in affirming their District
Court gambling conviction.
The two men are Robert c.
Thorpe, 46, colored, of the 600
block Of New Jersey avenue NV,
who was sentenced to serve nine
months to three years on charges
of promoting the numbers game
and possession Of numbers slips,
and Annis Wyche. AZ, colored, of
the First block of Quincy place
NV, who was given from six to
18 months on the same charges.
Both Free on Bond.
The men have been out on bond
pending appeal.
According to the appellate court
decision written by Judge Bennett
Champ Clark. Thorpe was hold
ing a bag of money and gave no
satisfactory explanation of his
presence or connection with the
premises" The opinion added
that Wyche was arrested as he
entered the premises while the
raid was in progress. Search of
Wyche produced envelopes con-
tanning numbers slips and money.
Defense counsel contends that
District Court erred in refusing to
suppress evidence obtained in the
search Of the two men. The ap-
Ipellate court declared. however
that the contention finds no sup
port in the record"
Officers Fully Justified.
The opinion added that the Of
|hcers were fully justified by the
force of surrounding circum-
stances to feel there was ample
probable cause to arrest all per-
sons present"
Judge Charles Fahy and Judge
James M. Proctor concurred in
the decision.

When Mohammed Mossadegh,
Premier of Iran. was here re-
Gently he visited the old Walter
johnson farm on the edge of
Germantown, Md, which has now
passed into the hands of one of
his fellow countrymen.
The farm, at Route 118 and
Middlebrook road. now is oper-
ated by Mohammed Nemazee,
commercial attache at the Iran
ian Embassy. The place, called
Hassan's Farm, Is named for Mr..
NemaZee's son, who will be 2
years old in January. Twenty
persons are employed on the
$40 acres.
Mr.. NemaZee's brother-in-law
Hossain G. Dehesh. now has the
old Newton Butts farm of 275
acres near Darnestown, Md. sew
eral miles away.
Rain Mars Occasion.
Mr.. Mossadegh went out to
Hassan's Farm November II and
had tea, but rain marred what
might otherwise have been an
outstanding social event. MIR.
Mossadegh looked over the farm
with its 200 Holstein dairy herd,
200 sheep and 525 chickens, in
cluding White Leghorns and New
Hampshire Reds.
The neighbors estimated the
land and investment now repre-
sent about $350,000. One of the
earmarks of the place is 100-
cow dairy barn, built during the
past summer. one of the largest
in Montgomery County. It stands
out prominently on the country
side. with "Hassan's Farm" dis
played in large black lettering on
its aluminium -colored expansive
roof.

with 60-cow capacity. And then
there is a dry barn." which used
to be a horse barn where the
famed pitcher of the Washington
Senators used to keep his cattle
and horses in his heydey. In
addition, there is a sheep house,
chicken house and calf barn on
the property, which also has six
tenant farm houses.
Old Residence Burned Down.
Mr.. Nemazee usually goes out
to the place on week ends. There
is q guesthouse which he uses.
The old farm residence burned
down about IS years ago, old
timers recall.
Mr.. johnson, they remember,
lived in the bungalow on the
place.
Mr.. Nemazee has given some
thought to building a new manor
house. He is considered q man

n1ents in Iran and Hong-Kong.
He took the farm about a year
ago.
Mr.. Dehesh came to the United
States to visit his brother-in-law
and he likes it here so well he
has stayed. His place, near the
outskirts of Darnestown. is called
Atlas Farmland some say this
was named for his grandfather.
Mr.. Dehesh. who lives in Be-
thesda. has his farm on Route
|28. 1t is the first dairy farm
on the left as one leaves Darnes-
town and travels to Rockville.
Neighbors gave horseback opin-
ion" that this place is worth
around $55.000 with $4,000 ad-
|ditional invested in Holsteins and
hogs. Mr.. Dehesh has had it
about eight months.
Barn Being Built.

painted, and the general air of
the place, with its vast COW barns,
give the visitor a feeling of opu-
lence.
Barn Dominates Scene.
The big barn dominates the
scene-in the absence OF an i'm
posing manor house. And from
the village Of Germantown, it
stands out as big as a lighthouse.
But in the days before the big
barn reared skyward, the idol
Of countless fans, "Barney"-"The
Big Train" the Kansas plowboy
who pitched his way to fame
called these acres home" The
ace pitcher and manager used to
love to hunt foxes. coons and
groundhogs along this countryside.
. The tall husky athle<s had a
heard Of 80 cattle-Guernseys and
Holsteins. But as dear to his
heart was the flock of hounds and
bird dogs that he kept on his
broad acres.
Mr.. johnson had some $50
acres In blue grass, $50 acres in
woodlands and the rest was cul-
tivated land. Alfalfa and timothy
were prominent among his crops.
In those days it was known to
the neighborhood as the Noun
tain View Farm.
Mecca for Leaders.
1t became a Mecca for political
leaders. for here Mr.. johnson
mapped out his political career in
Montgomery County politics, at
the urging Of his friends. He even
started to run for Congress, but
ill health cut short that phase
|of his illustrious career.
The big Train" died in Decem-
Der, 1916. and was buried in Rock
vile Union Cemetery. And then
his farm was sold in 1947 and
A. B. Mckee. Washington auto
mobile dealer, bought it for some
$3.50 Mr.. Johnson's prize herd
of 80 head of bred cattle
was sold to different buyers.
And now the old Mountain
View Farm has a new owner-a
diplomat from far-off Iran. But
in talk-fests in the country store
in Germantown, in farmhouses
round about-and in the hearts
of sports lovers the land over,
they still remember that other
owner who typified Americanism
at its best-the Master of the
Mound-Walter johnson.

Prince Georges Board
Bors 6. 0. P. Appeal
For Closed Meeting

The Prince Georges County
commissioners agreed today to
take up the question of dismissing
Democratic employees at 1890
am. Tuesday in regular session
at Upper Marlboro.
BY a 4-to-1 vote, with Commits
sioner H. Wilson Spicknall dis
senting. the board turned aside a
closed-door request presented per-
sonally by Edwin A. Glenn, presi-
dent of the County Republican
Club. and a former unsuccessful
candidate for the 5th District con-
gressional seat.
Mr.. Glenn placed before the
commissioners a joint resolution
approved by his group and the
Prince Georges Young Republi-
can Club along with a second
resolution adopted by the senior
Republican Club headed by Mr..
Glenn.
Both asked the commissioners
to discuss the controversial ques-
ton of wholesale Democratic FIR
ings preferably at some location
other than your regular meeting
room, so as to preclude the possi-
bility of any attendant publicity"
Commissioner Daniel A. Abbott,
obviously stung by reports that
the club insists in carrying out
the purge. said:
Il feel the board should grant
joint or separate hearings but am
not willing to agree that they
should not be public. The people
behind this move have attacked
the commissioners publicly. They
have been quoted in the press as
saying they are no longer asking
us what should be done. they are
telling us. I assume these reports
are correct because have seen
no denial.
Moves Public Hearing.
II move" Mr.. Abbott said, that
we give them a hearing-a public
hearing and nowhere else but in
this room"
His motion was seconded by
Commissioner w. Everett Marion.
Speaking against the motion,
Commissioner Spicknall said he
believes the custer plan should be
discussed "in some other section
of the county and on other than
a regular meeting day"
Commissioner Edward j. Waters
asked Mr.. Glenn whether the
clubs were opposed to a public
meeting.
NO" Mr.. Glenn replied. I'VE
will acceed to any decision made
by the commissioners"
Board Chairman Thomas e.
Latimer took no part in the dis
cuSSion.
