u1ellU III JIlS UfleaGeTS, mere as wen
as on Broadway. The truth is that
what looks like a terrific traffic
jam in plays and musicals is build
ing up in the offices of producers
who are going through the first
slow motions of next season.
Mid-July indications are that
there will be something like five
candidates for each of the 30-plus
theaters in New York, perhaps six
or seven considering the holdover
certainties of such works as South
Pacific, THE King And T." Guys
and Dolls" etc.
This should assure a strong de-
mand for desirable road theaters
such as the Gayety whose profits
last season have made it look
positively alluring to producers
who had sort of forgotten the
money that could be made in
Washington.
If plays cannot get into New
York until other plays have flop
ped out of New York, they will
have to lurk around the road" in
the East until a real estate open
ing occurs. These could be about
as frequent as two-bedroom low
rental apartments were available
in Washington during the war.
Sharing in any attendant ex-
citement created by this conges-
tion in New York will be Boston,
Philadelphia and Baltimore. All
these also offer hospitable and,
more Importantly. profitable shell
ter to plays that cannot be left
out in the rain until they can
find an address on Broadway.
Two pre-Broadway candidates
are shaping up in Washington at
this moment, both at the Olney.
The first ones goes to the start
ing gate tonight with the opening
of Souvenir From Italy" moving
out just in time for Eddie Dow
ling and his cast to put flnal
rehearsal touches on "The
Chuckeyhead Story" which opens
July "a.
incidentally, the Paul Vincent
Carroll play which is rich in Irish
flavor, would appear to be a
strong candidate for a change
in title before John Golden pro-
duces it on Broadway. Apt as 1T
may turn out to be to the story
Carroll tells, it is r 2rdly the con
bination that would pull New
Workers off the streets into Mr..
Golden's theater.
From now on, Broadway try
outs will be popping up all over
the summer theater circuit.

Give Suggestions For
High School Names

Around twenty-five persons took
the time to send their suggestions to
the County Commissioners about
naming the two new high schools
Names suggested for the one being
constructed between Oakland and Mt
Lake Park included Rathbun, Oak
land, Southern Garrett, Mt. Oak, Gar
rett, Glades, The Oaks, Northern
Regional, Oak Park and Mt. Top.
For the one under construction at
Cove, they suggested names of Cove
Ridge, Cove High, Northern Garrett,
Pleasant Valley, Grantsville, Garrett
High, Civilian Heights, West Mary
land High, Northern End, and Mac
Arthur.
One who signed himself Sensible
citizen from Accident, suggested
"Hardesty's Deception" for Cove, and
"Fraley's Folly" for Oakland. One
other jokester wanted to call them
the Ronald McIntire and Clifford
Friend high schools.
The contest was designed to create
some interest among the citizens.
There were no prizes offered. The
final selection of the names is up to
the County Commissioners and the
Board of Education. Last day for
suggesting names was yesterday.

Mortgage Termed
Invalid By Judge

In an opinion handed down by As
sociate Judge George Henderson this
week, it was decreed that the
mortgage from the Mt Lake Canning
company, Inc, to Raymond E. Lester
and Florence A. Lester, his wife,
dated April Is, 1949, and recorded,
purpoting to secure a note for the
sum of $4,000, was invalid as a
mortgage against the property there
in described
Hearing on the matter was held
in the circuit court here on April 10.
The Carol County National Bank
of Westminster, which had loaned the
company $4,000, was the creditor
bringing suit. The loan was later re-
duced to $4,000.
The personal property was sold re-
Gently to Texas company for $14,-
600 while Mr.. and Mrs. Lester pur-
chased the real property for $4,000.
In the judges opinion, declaring the
mortgage invalid does not prevent
the Leisters from claiming to the
extent of $4,000 as unsecured credi-
tors. After payment of expenses of
the proceedings, taxes and any
priority claims which may be allowed,
the remaining assets resulting from
the sale of the assets by the trustee
will be divided pro rata among all
unsecured creditors in which will be
included the Leisters and the bank,
Judge Henderson stated in the
opinion.
The controversy arose as a con-
sequence of the Insolvency of the
canning company. Operations of the
company were unsuccessful in 1947,
1913 and 1919.

Two Miners Held
In Connection With
Mine Explosion
Crellin Pair Arrested on Charges
OF Destruction at Daugherty
Mine-Out on Bond

Two Crellin coal miners who were
arrested last Thursday on charges of
malicious destruction of property in
connection with "A fire and explosion
at the Daugherty Coal company mine
near Turner Douglas, just across the
line in Preston county, w. Va, on
June 8, have been released on bond
pending action Of the grand jury at
Kingwood in October, it was revealed
by R. Doyne Halbritter, Preston
county prosecuting attorney.
The two men, Frederick Robert
Solomon and Thomas Edgar Friend,
waived preliminary hearing when
arraigned in court at Kingwood on
Monday. They are brothers-in-law.
Both are 81 years of age.
They were arrested last Thursday
by Maryland State Trooper Robert
Henline, who was working with West
Virginia authorities on the series of
fires and explosions in the coal fields
of Preston county, and Garrett and
Allegany counties. Last Friday after
noon in Allegany county Circuit court
before Associate Judge George Hen
derson, they waived eXtradition for
removal to Kingwood and were taken
to the Kingwood Jail by West Vir-
ginia Trooper H. f. Parks.
They are specifically accused, au-
thorities reported, of being connected
with the explosions and fires which
destroyed a steam shovel and bull
dozer, near Crellin, resulting i'll
damage estimated at $4,000 The ex-
plosion occurred at the strip mine
operation of the Daughtery Coal COM
pany, owned by Elmer Grim, Forrest
Bergdoll and Robert Roberts.
Authorities indicated there may be
two other men implicated. The two in
custody are held under bonds of $1,000
each. They have been identified with
United Mine Workers picket lines in
the Preston county non-union coal
fields, authorities said. Both Solomon
and Friend denied the charges.
The explosion which wrecked the
machinery was believed to have been
INT, and was set shortly after dark
on June 9. The saboteurs cut tele-
phone lines to aid in their escape.

New Trial Ordered
In Rodeheaver Death
Court of Appeals Grants Request
OF Railroad Company For
Complete New Trial

The suit of Claude f. Rodeheaver
against the B. and o. railroad COM
pany as the result of the death of
Delpha H. Rodeheaver, just east of
the Second street crossing in Oakland,
has been renianded for new trial by
the Maryland Court of Appeals.
The reversed judgment was rem
dered May II, and information was
received this week by Richard l..
Davis, clerk of the Circuit court.
A jury on April 1, 1850, returned
a verdict of $4,000 against the rail
road company for the death of Delpha
H. Rodeheaver, who was struck and
killed by a freight train while the
overhead bridge was being repaired
several years ago.
The case was remanded for a new
trial, in the opinion of the Court of
Appeals, because the court ruled that
the speed of the train had no casual
relationship to the Rodeheaver death.
In the trial the B. and o. railroad
had asked the court to instruct the
jury that the speed of the railroad
train was not evidence of negligence
on the part of the defendant and had
also asked that the speed of the train
was not a proXimate cause of the
accident complained in the case. The
court failed to grant these two
prayers and the court of appeals de-
clared that they should have been
granted.
Earlier the Circuit court had or
dered Rodeheaver, through his at
torneys, file remittitur of $4,000
or be subject to new trial. This was
done, acknowledging that the dam
ages would be only $4,000. In spite
of this the railroad company filed an
appeal, resulting in the call for new
trial.
