Donohue Assaits
Marshall Heights
Homes
Rebukes Congressmer
For Interfering
With Rehabilitation
By DonoId B. HodIey

Members of Congress who have
protested condemnation proceed
ings against SO Negro dwellings in
the Marshall Heights area were
rebuked last night by F. Joseph
Donohue. president Of the District
Board of Commissioners.
Addressing a banquet Of the
District Credit Union League in
the National Press Club, Mr.
Donohue said the Commissioners
and District health officials viewed
pictures of the so dwellings yester-
day and found them shocking.
mot one Of these condemned
homes has either sewer or water,
and they constitute grave health
menace, which will force the Dis
trict Government to act" he said.
Mr.. Donohue also disclosed that
health conditions in 525 homes of
the area were studied. Sewer and
water is available for only hall
of this total, and of this favored
half, only rs per cent of the
owners have availed themselves of
the opportunity to have these IA
cilities, he declared.
Deplores Interference.
All of the condemned homes
are occupied by their owners. who
have appealed to members o1
Congress to block District action
Mr.. Donohue said large stack
of kilograms has come from Con-
gressmen. The Commissioner de-
plored their attempt to interfere
with duties of District officials.
II have every sympathy for
these people, and I don't know
where they will go if they are
forced to move and see their
homes destroyed" Mr.. Donohue
said. But the menace to public
health is too serious to be allowed
to Continue"
An extensive redevelopment
program for the Marshall Heights
area was drawn up several years
ago. but it was dropped because
of vigorous protests from organ
'Zed residents of the area.
| Strong Plea Forecast.
Previously, Mr.. Donohue warned
his listeners that Congress ha.
ignored the desperate f1nancia
needs of the District much toe
long and that a strong plea fol
congressional action will be made
lat the next session.
"If we fail to get action, the
District will become an empty shell
|of Government buildings anc
parks" he predicted.
Mr.. Donohue congratulated thu
credit league on its contribution
to Washington, and said he plan'
Ito encourage the establishment O.
Ia credit union among District Gov
ernment employees as soon as th'
streamlining program is com
|pleted.
The District league include!
more than 80 credit unions in botf
government agencies and privat.
business. and more than 10000
members, with more than SIS mil
lion of assets.

Simkins Tried on One
Contempt Charge as
Six Are Thrown Out

The trial of Roger (Whitetop)
ISimkins on single count charg-
ing him with contempt of Con.
gress for refusing to answer g
Question before the Senate Dis.
trict Crime Investigating Com.
mittee last January was to be re.
sumed this afternoon.
Simkins' trial began yesterday
on a seven-count contempt o.
Congress indictment. The trial il
being held before a jury of eigh
men and four women in the U. S
District Court for the District O.
Columbia.
Judge James r. kirkland
yesterday threw out six counts o1
the indictment and held thai
|Simkins, who has been referred tt
by the committee as a former
leading numbers banker" wa
well within his rights in refusing
to answer six of the questions
|Simkins' refusal to answer was
based on the ground of fear o1
possible self-incrimination.
Judge Kirkland, however, helC
that the jury must decide whether
SimkinS is guilty of the seventh
count.
Ambiguous Question.
Judge Kirkland declared the
question involved in the seventh
count was ambiguous. 1t read
Have you ever done any sort o1
work or occupation or profession
that you would like to tell thu
committee about?"
Several of the six counts thrown
out by Judge Kirkland pertaineC
to questions regarding the ole
Brass Rail restaurant, of which
Mrs. Yvonne Simkins, the defend.
ants wife, was once technica
owner.
Other of the counts thrown out
were in regard to questions asked
Simkins before the committee al
to whether he had seen Detective
Paul Clark or Detective Howard
Ogle in the Brass Rail. Also
whether Simkins owned or car
ried a pistol before December 81
1948.
Judge Kirkland held that an
swerS to some of the questions
could have been discriminating II
view of evidence of gambling &C.
tivity at the Brass Rail. There
was evidence that it was the "hut
|of a gambling Device" Judge
kirkland said.
Bauman Testifies.
Arnold Bauman, former chie1
counsel of the committee, was
excused as a witness yesterday
after completing brief testimony
Mr.. Bauman told the court he
had information at the time OF
the committees investigation that
Simkins had retired. Before re-
tirement. however, Mr.. Bauman
said his information was that
Simkins was lone of the biggest
numbers operators in Washing
ton"
Mr.. Bauman also pointed to the
committees interest in the Brass
Rail because of a shooting there.
Both Charles Nelson, the night
at the time, and Henry
piggy Leake, who were wound
ed, later were acquitted on charges
Of assaulting each other.

LITTLE SPORT
NIin1s One-Mon Air Offensive
Honored as Back of the Week
By The Associated Press


NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Tommy
IO'Connell. 22-year-old junior who
sprays the air with footballs for
the University of Illinois, today
was voted the back of the week
in the Associated Press poll of
sports writer's and sportcasters.
O'Connell has been the main Of
Ifensive weapon of the Rose Bowl
champions all season, but he really
let go last Saturday against the
University of Washington when
he tossed five touchdown passes
within 20 minutes.
That gave him a total of $40
yards gained on 80 pass compile
tions in 81 tries, and an average
of .592. His passes have gained al
most twice as much yardage as the
entire offensive has been able to
muster on the ground.
Completes IA Against Huskies.
Against Washington, which
could do nothing more than hope
he would miss his target-the
Huskies couldn't get near the ball.
He completed IA of II throws for
262 yards as his team ran up an
48-14 triumph after
being upset by Wisconsin the pre-
vious week. And O'Connell played
only a little more than 80 min
utes, or just about half the game!
O'Connell's doings were not en-
tirely unexpected, since Coach
Ray Eliot has been banking on
him to handle most of the Of
fensive chores since the first day
|of practice. His running last year
was handicapped by a bad knee.
but the knee was operated on this
spring.

24-7, and James Monroe. 24-13.
Last week they knocked off West
ern, 7-6.
George Washington's hasn't won
game, WI lost a tough one to
Wilson of Portsmouth last week
and Mount Vernon, after an i'm
ipresSive start. hit a slump although
lit bounched back against Lane last
week. Falls Church looked good
in tying Mount Vernon, 6-6, but
has a 14-0 loss to James Monroe
on its record.
This leaves Fairfax with the best
mark. Coach Bill Edmundson said
before the season started that only
a miracle could give the Rebels as
good a record as they had last
year. However, Fairfax plays five
more games and with few breaks
could take them all. The Rebels
meet Falls Church Saturday, then
Lane, CIV. South Norfolk and
Mount Vernon.
What is making Fairfax click?
First Edmundson has a squad
which won't believe it can be
beaten. Secondly some of the
Rebels have turned out to be
among the top performers in the
area.
CIV and WI both are proud
OF their fullbacks. Pat Eggleston
and Tom Hustled. But Fairfax
rooters will tell you that Dick
Cockrill is better than either. In
the line. Clyde Bennett, 2O5-pound
tackle, has been outstanding. He
was bringing down Western ball
carriers all over the field last
Friday night.
Northern Virginia football is the
toughest to figure in the area. Each

tail off and make the experts look
silly while the low-rated clubs Sur
