Laurel Track Head
Called in Probe Of
Hayre de Grace Deal
BY the Assoeiosed Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 9.-Legis-
lators investigating the purchase
of the Havre de Grace racetrack
for the Maryland National Guard
sought testimony from the Presi-
dent of Laurel racetrack today.
The Laurel official. John Scha-
piro, and several military officers
were called before a Legislative
Council Committee.
Purchase of the Havre de Grace
track was defended as a good
deal" for the State yesterday by
Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord,
although he said 1t was EN-
barrassing" to him personally be-
cause he was connected with both
parties in the deal.
Gen. Reckord is now president
Of the Maryland Jockey Club,
which operates Pimlico racetrack,
and was president Of the Havre de
Grace track. The Jockey Club
and the Laurel operators jointly
bought out Havre de Grace for
$1.8 million, then sold 1t to the
State for s500,000.
Steered Clear of Deal.
Gen. Reckord's connection with
both parties to the transaction
brought on the Legislative Coun-
Gil investigation, by a committee
headed by Senator Turnbull,
Democrat. Of Baltimore.
Gen. Reckord told the COM
mlttee that because of his con-
nectionS, he steered clear of the
entire transaction and made no
recommendations for or against
the purchase. A committee of
guard officers recommended that
Havre de Grace be bought for the
guard, and the proposal was sub
mitted to the Board of Public
Works by Nathan Smith. chief
engineer for the Department of
Public Improvements.
Gen. Reckord admitted the
Havre de Grace site was made
quate as training ground for the
guard, but said the guard was not
seeking training ground but a
storage depot for ordnance and
supplies. The site met all speci-
f1cations for such a facility.
Available at Good Price.
He said Havre de Grace was
available at good price at a time
when the State had sold Camp
Ritchie. its former National Guard
camp, to the Federal Government
Gen. Reckord said he was not
aware of any pronounced opposi-
ton to the States purchase of the
track in the State legislature. al i
though the subject came up in
committee hearings.
He recalled he denied before
two committee hearings thatl
Havre de Grace was being con-
sidered. 1t was not, at that time,
he said.

Happily honeymooning in Arl-
ington are q blind bridegroom and
his crippled bride. whose life he
saved when a vital operation had
to be performed two years ago.
Tommie Millett, blind since
birth, and his wife Gloria. born
a cripple, gave hope and inspira-
ton to all handicapped persons
when they exchanged marriage
vows here two weeks ago.
Theirs is a story Of love and
faith that underwent q dramatic
test in an operating room on
Halloween Day. l949.
That day Tommie and Gloria
lay side by side on operating ta-
bles in Emergency Hospital. Sur
geons removed 8 inches of bone
from Tommie's right shin. This
was quickly grated to Gloria's
spine. The operation was a sue
cess.
Gloria, who is 27. was born with
an inability to maintain balance.
The insertion Of bone was needed
to help stabilize her spine and act
as a brace.
Her 25-year-old husband had
no i'll effects from his operation.
Only a 9-inch scar remains,
scarcely visible to the eye.
Piano Plays Cupid.
Tommie and Gloria met here
three years ago. You might say
they fell in love over a piano.
Gloria, born and reared in
Washington. gave monthly par
ties at her home for handicapped
friends she knew in school. til
was while shopping around for al
piano player to- entertain her
guests that Tomlnie became the
man of the hour.
The blind youth. who lived in
Pittsburgh before coming here in
1914. had studied piano 10 years
there. While attending a school
for the blind he learned to play.
popular music by ear and more
complicated classical arrange
ments by Braille. On one occa-
sion he played several selections
for the late Eddie Duchin. noted
pianist and orchestra leader.
Tommie and Gloria were intro
duced By mutual friend.
Il think she fell in love with
my piano playing first" TommieI
said with laugh. Soon he made
sure there were daily piano re-
citals at her home. The couple
already had decided on marriage.
when Gloria learned that she
must have an operation.

enough not to need an operation, u

Doctors were troubled finding
a strong enough bone for the op-

with Tommie. Her quest was
over.
Leave Hospital Together.
Gloria was in the operating
room when her betrothed was

five hours afterward, when he
learned her operation was success

these fibres into fabrics which
bounce out wrinkles, dry clean beau
tifully, maintain their style and
color.

YEARS OF RESEARCH

When the "Springweave" Suit
achieved its Nationwide fame, the
need for a comparable heavier
weight fabric was Immediately ap-
parent. Men liked the performance
of this handsome suit; so pliable
yet so durable and wrinkle-resistant.
Now the full-weight fabric for Fall
and Winter is perfected and ready
at the same low price of only $40.
MADE TO SELL FOR MORE
Goodall's far-sighted policy shaved
the price way down! The Y.M.S.
examined and tested this suit
we know that it will measure up for
style, fit wear!

Here IS the ultimate in a Fall and
Winter suit at a down-to-earth price
;. a suit so much finer in feel, in
fit and in wear, you'll compare it
favorably with suits selling at $40
and $40 more!
