ShipIeY Terrace Citizens
Pledged New Traffic Outlet

Members of the Shipley Terrace
Citizens Association last night
were promised action in their
need for at least one more traffic
outlet from the community.
Jerry Russell. president of the
group, read two encouraging let
ters to this effect, one from the
District government and the other
from the director of highways.
The area now has only one exit.
via Twenty-third street and Ala
bama avenue Sc. This not only
creates traffic congestion but
makes the single route virtually
impossible when it is covered by
ice or snow.
The best solution, according to
Mr.. Russell. would be to cut
Southern avenue through to the
Suitland parkway.
In other business, the group ap-
propriated $50 more-making a
total of $75-toward its Halloween
party next Friday.
The meeting was held in the
Oxon Park Apartments at 26O3

Jurors Giving
Georges

Issues Get Complete
Investigation; Sheriff
Questioned 5 Hours

The Prince Georges County's
grand jury now is in it's fourth
week primarily because it is asking
Ia lot more questions than usual.
This was the concenSus today
of States Attorney Carlyle J. Lam
caster and County Sheriff Carle-
ton G. Beall.
The jury, sworn in on October 6,
may make it's report sometime
later this week, according to Mr..
Lancaster.
Both officials said the 23-mem-
ber panel was a good grand jury"
Sheriff Beall said: "It appears
to me they know the score" He
said the jury was interested in
the county generally" and thus
was being more curious than most
panels.
Sheriff Beall. who appeared be-
fore the jury yesterday for five
hours of questioning, said that was
longer than any of the previous
three times he has been before a
county grand jury. In the past,
he said, his appearance usually
took about two hours. He said the
jury wanted to know the relation
ship between various county Of
fees and wanted an account of
his services to date.
"The grand jury will come up
with a good, thorough report, but
I don't know how startling it will
be-" Sheriff Beall said.
The States attorney said the
Jury was taking it's time in max
ing its investigation. Today, he
said, the jury was hearing no
witnesses. but he said he did not
know what was going on inside
the jury room.
The jury at the close of its in
vestigation will submit a report
to the Prince Georges County
Circuit Court. Such reports are
filed semiannually in the county
and generally give the jury's
opinion of local conditions.
Courthouse attaches all were
agreed that this was the longest
grand jury session they could re-
call.

Forest Fires Rovoging
Drought -Stricken States
BY the Associated Press


Half of the states of the rain
starved Nation fought forest and
brush fires today in what other
wise might be called pleasant
Indian summer.
Except for snow hurries in Wis
consin, the thousands fighting the
fires, got no help from nature
There was not a drop of rain in
the affected areas.
Thousands of blazes ravaged
hundreds of square miles OF
wilderness and occasionally
scourged farmlands throughout
New England, the Midwest, East
and South.
An assistant forest Superintend-
ent in Missouri said it was 1.-The
worst situation in 18 years."
There were similar comments
in New Hampshire and Massa-
chusetts. which closed their wood
lands to the public: from Ken
lucky, where 16-year-old boys
were excused from school to help
fight the flames; from Pennsyl-
vania, where suspension of the
hunting season is being con-
sidered. and from Arkansas where
State Forester Fred Lang warned
residents: er
THE forest fire situation is out
of control. Your homes and your
towns and even your lives are in
danger"
Nearly $50 volunteers fought a
futile battle against a forest fire
near Covington, Va, last night,
and $50 more men were dis
patched to the scene early today
as the flames leaped over the fire
lines.

Lewis Brothers Visit
Police Headquarters,
Fail 10 See Murray

The Lewis brothers. Joseph G
and Paul, left police headquarters
today after denouncing Police
Chief Robert V. Murray for what
they called an attempt to white
wash" their evidence that police
men had taken graft from gam
blers.
The brothers, who helped dig up
evidence against Charles E. Nell
son and his big numbers syndi-
cate, stopped by the Police De-
partment pressroom and said
Chief Murray had refused to see
them personally. although they
waited for 35 minutes.
Chief Murray told reporters
he was closeted at the time with
an assistant United States at
torney and sent the deputy chief
of police, Inspector Howard "
Covell, to talk to the brothers
He said the men refused to dis
cuss the case with the inspector.
Launched Crusade.
The brothers embarked on 6
crusade against gamblers and the
police they said were protecting
them after Joseph Lewis was con.
victed in Virginia on charge Of
robbing the wife of an employe Of
the Nelson syndicate. An appea.
from the conviction is now pend
ing before a higher court.
For two years the brothers
worked to collect evidence against
gamblers and police they consid-
cred guilty of taking graft. They
took pictures and tape recordings
of conversations with hidden
equipment.
Chief Murray said he had lis
tened to the recordings and found
they lacked clarity, making it diff
f1cult to identify the persons talk
ing. The pictures, too, had the
same quality of vagueness. he said
The police chief explained he
had been advised by the United
States attorneys Office that the
situations under which the evil
dence was collected contained
elements of entrapment which
probably would disqualify the evil
dence in court.
Evidence Given Senators.
Much of the evidence was
turned over to the Senate District
crime probers. Some of the ma
terial is still in the committee
files, it was said.
At least two policemen involved
in the material presented by the
Lewis brothers have resigned
from the force in the last year,
according to reports at headquar-
ters.
Joseph Lewis was convicted of
robbing the wife of Blight Lee of
$86. Lee testified at the trial of
Lewis that he was not a gambler
Lee later was convicted as one
of Nelson's aides.
A judge in Arlington County
then fined Lee $50 for contempt
of court, but ruled his testimony
had no bearing on the conviction
OF Joseph Lewis.

City Heads Decide
Not to Try to Invoke
Juvenile Curfew

The District Commissioners to-
day decided not to try to establish
a curfew for juveniles to get them
off the street by a certain hour
each night.
The suggestion was made to the
Commissioners by DR.. E. F. Harris,
president of the Lincoln Civic AS
sociation. He said such curfew
would reduce juvenile delinquency.
The city heads decided it also
might give the police a headache.
Police Chief Robert v. Murray
told the Commissioners that a
curfew could not be established
except by act of Congress. He also
said it would be almost impossible
to enforce and would never work
unless all citizens co-operated.

Light Showers
Accompanied by

Brisk Northwest winds were ex-

For the last few days smoke
from forest fires in West Virginia
and Virginia has been driven this
way by southwesterly winds.
