Circuit Court Doubles
Earlier Jail Sentence
|0f Numbers Contact

A numbers man, described by
police as a principal contact be-
tween Washington gamblers and
South Arlington, is in Jail today.
Booker T. Henderson, 80. coll
ored. of the 3400 block of South
Twenty-second street. Arlington,
yesterday was given a six-months
jail sentence and was fined $500
on a lottery conviction. The SEN
tence was imposed by Circuit
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy after
Henderson pleaded guilty.
The penalty was double the
County Court sentence which
Henderson had appealed.
On recommendation Of Com
monwealth's Attorney William j.
Hassan, Judge Mccarthy said he
would suspend five months of the
Jail term subject to good be-
havior and full payment of the
fine.
Henderson was arrested In April
by Detectives Russell Runyon and
Russell Petite. They said Hender-
son had been a leading suspect
as a contact for a number of
runners who were dealing with
Washington gamblers.
The detectives said they have
kept Henderson under observa-
ton since before a prior convic-
ton on gambling in 1949.
Mr.. Hassan asked Judge Nc
Carthy to double the lower court
sentence as a warning to gamblers
who may consider an invasion"
of Arlington because of frightened
controls in the District and nearby

Notes Gain in
Registrations
County Anticipates
10000 New Voters
In Fall Elections

The national political conven.
tions in Chicago apparently are
stimulating interest in local poll
tics. a glance at Prince Georges
County registration figures reveals.
In the three weeks coinciding
with the Republican and Demo-
cratic conventions, the county has
picked up more than 500 new
voters. This was done during spe-
cial Tuesday night registration
sessions at the County Service
Building. Hyattsville.
Last night, for instance, total
OF 206 new voters were enrolled
during a three hour period from
g to 8 pm. OF this number. 1O4
were Democrats. IS Republicans
and II who declined to list a party
afflliation.
For the two previous weeks
the first ones for the weekly Hy-
attsville registrations-139 were
Democrats, 129 Republicans and
81 who declined.
Expect 10000 New Voters.
County election Officials antici-
pate that some 10000 new voters
will be added by the time the gen.
eral election rolls around on Mo-
vember 4.
Most of these will be added dur
ing two countrywide registration
days at local election precincts.
The dates for these have not been
set.
II the predictions hold true.
Prince Georges County will have
nearly double the number of ELI
gible voters it had in the 1948
presidential election.
At that time, registration fig
ures totaled 43,959. Just before
the party primaries last May, the
county had a total of 70,963 regis
tered voters.
Of these, 46,501 were Democrats.
|22,174 Republicans, and 2,286
|afhliates.
5000 Are Removed.
Election board officials said.
however that about 5000 names
now are in the process of being
removed from county registration
books because of their failure to
participate in an election during
the last five years. These 5000
must re-register as new voters If
they desire to take part in the
November election.
Registrations are accepted daily,
Monday through Friday, at the
boards office in the County Court
House. Upper Marlboro. Hours
are from $3.50 am. to 4 pm.
In addition, registration officials
will be available at the County
Service Building in Hyattsville
each Tuesday from 6 to 9 pm.
There also is possibility that ad-
Iditional hours may be scheduled
for Friday night if there is a de-
mand for it. the board spokesman
reported.

Rent Control Extension
Now Up 10 County,
Council Is Advised

It's up to the county council
to call the plays. so far as the
future of rent control in Mont
gomery County is concerned, ac-
cording to Assistant County At
torney L. Clark Ewing.
Mr.. Ewing yesterday told the
council what most of them al
ready knew, that unless they re-
quest extension of rent control
until April 30, 1858, it will die
September 80.
Depends on Shortage.
Mr.. Ewing said the council, if
it desires extension, must submit
"a resolution to President Truman,
requesting extension. He said
the resolution would have to state
that there is a shortage of rental
housing in the county. The county
may request extension only in the
unincorporated areas, he added.
Lathrop Smith, council presi-
dent, said the council will "have
to be convinced that a substan-
tial shortage exists"
Councilman Harold Hammond
replied he doubts that it does
exist. 4. He said the number of
experimentation rent ads indicates
there is no shortage.
Shortage Reported.
Councilwoman Stella B. Wer-
ner, however, said she has been
informed by a representative of
the area rent control Office that
there is a shortage.
All agreed a public hearing will
be necessary before the matter
can be settled. Meanwhile, it
was noticeable in communications
received by the councilman that
landlords and rental agents are
pressing their demand for the
death of rent control.
Some 10000 rental units will
be decontrolled automatically in
the county September 30 unless
municipalities and the county act
to extend present curbs.
