BULLETIN

The opening program of an
18-day meet at Bowie was
threatened with postponement
today when only four jockeys
agreed to take mounts on the
fog-bound track. but officials
and jockeys still were comforting

time threatened to knock out the
entire program.
Shortly before the scheduled
12:45 pm. first post time the
curtain was so heavy that the
totalizer board was invisible from
the grandstand. officials advanced
the starting time to 1:45 pm
and then, as the fog began to lift,
said the show definitely would go
on. A big crowd was expected
from race fans wanting to see the
plant. which was improved at q
50 million cost.
The fog shrouded almost all of
Maryland and Virginia and much
of the area between North Caro-
lima and New York State. Traffic
was slowed to 20 to IS miles an
hour along main highways, but no
serious accidents were reported.
zoo Calls at Waldorf.
Maryland State police at Wal
dorf said they had more than zoo
telephone calls in a short time
this morning from motorists in
quiring about weather canditions.
Washington's fog was part of a
crazy weather picture that fea-
tured thunderstorms. snow and
sunshine over the Nation.
Land, sea and air traffic was
hampered. although National Air
port reported all planes taking off
and arriving on schedule.
On Chesapeake Bay at least Is
fishing parties were marooned on
the water all night and 18 ships
were forced to anchor. Some in
terstate buses were running an
hour behind schedule.
The interior fog was the result
of the ground cooling faster than
the air. On the seacoast the mist
was riding in from the ocean.
More Fog Likely Tonight.
The Weather Bureau expected
most of the curtain to lift this
afternoon but anticipated a recur-
renee tonight.
The freakish weather pattern
sent Thunderstorm to the Mid
west. Dubuque, Iowa, had 2 inches

Atom Spies Lose
Last Chance in
Supreme Court
Rosenberes' PIeo for
Restudy Of Death
Sentence Denied
By Robert K. Walsh

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to-
day lost their last chance in the
Supreme Court to escape death in
the electric chair for giving atomic
secrets to Russia.
The court refused to reconsider
its action of october 13 in denying
the couples appeal from the death
sentence.
The husband and wife. who are
in Sing Sing Prison. now can look
only to the White House in their
effort to save their lives by hav-
ing their sentence commuted to
life Imprisonment.
Rosenberg, a 35-year-old elec-
trical engineer, and his 36-year.
old wife were convicted in Fed.
eral Court in New York last year
on charges of espionage and con-
Spiracy in sending American
secrets to Russia. They were
charged with having been in
volved in the same spy ring that
included Klaus Fuchs, British
scientist, now imprisoned in that
country.
SObell Plea Also Refused.
officials said the Rosenbergs
were the first American civilians
ever sentenced to death outside o
military court for espionage.
Their convictions and death
sentences were unanimously up
held by the United States Court
of Appeals in New York.
A fellow defendant. Morton
Sobell, also was convicted at the
same trial and was sentenced to
80 years imprisonment. The Su-
preme Court today likewise re-
fused to reconsider its earlier
denial of his request for review.
The courts announcement to-
day was contained in brief
order giving no reason for the
action. The order disclosed, how
ever. that Justice Black believed
that the Rosenbergs' and Sobell
cases should have been reviewed
by the high court.
Frankfurter Explains Action.
Justice Frankfurter filed Q
memorandum calling attention to
the fact that Supreme Court re-
fusal to review a lower court de-
cision does not necessarily mean
that the tribunal based It's refusal
on the merits of the appeal itself.
1T means and all that it means
is that there were not four mem
bers of the court to whom the
grounds on which the decision Of
the Court of Appeals was chal-
lenged seemed sufficiently impor.
tant when judged by the standards
governing the issue of the discre-
tionary writ of certiorari, Justice
Frankfurther explained.
1T also deserves to be repeated
that the effective administration
of justice precludes this court
from giving reasons, however
briefly. for its denial Of a petition
for certiorari."
Justice Frankfurter noted that
counsel for the Rosenbergs raised
five additional questions In their
plea for reconsideration of the
October 13 refusal to review. He
said he would not express any
opinion on those additional ques-
tions but he added:
"One of the questions, however.
first raised in the petition for re-
hearing is beyond the scope Of
the authority of this court and
deem it appropriate to say so. A
sentence imposed by United
States District Court, even though
it be a death sentence, Is not
within the power Of the court to
revise.

King Names Papagos
Greek Premier After
Electoral Victory
Military Hero's Party
Wins 241 of 800 Seats,
Communists Get None
By the Asseeiatsd Press

ATHENS, Greece, Nov. 1.-THE
caretaker Greek government re-
signed today and King Paul i'm
mediately appointed Marshal Alex
ander Papagos, overwhelming
victor in yesterdays parliamentary
elections, Prime Minister. The
new cabinet will be sworn in
Wednesday noon.
Official figures from the interior
ministry gave the war hero Mar
shall Papagos' right wing Greek
Rally Party 241 seats in the new
300-member Parliament to only
SO for the leftist-center coalition
headed by Gen. Nicholas Plasti-
ras. Marshal Papagos' party won
the most seats in 1851 elections,
too, but King Paul entrusted the
government then to Gen. Plasti-
ras' coalition.
During the election campaign
the government had been under
the caretaker hand of Premier
Dimitrios Kissopoulos, who quit
today.
Marshal Papagos, so, with
around 81 per cent of the popular
vote, thus won the greatest par
liamentary triumph since the
smashing victory in 1928 of Elue-
therios Venizelos. The Commun-
lists, although they got IL per
cent of the popular vote, did not
win a single parliamentary seat,
according to the Interior Minis
try's calculations.
Favored by Americans.
American officials had main
tanned an official hands off" to-
ward the election campaign, but
it was an open secret that United
States authorities felt a Papagos
victory would help stabilize this
poverty-stricken country which
has received more than 81 billion
in American economic and mill
tary aid since World War II.
Until today the Americans,
since assuming the burden of
Greek aid in 1947. had hoped in
vain for a one-party government
with a parliamentary majority
big enough to enact necessary
legislation. Marshal Papagos was
expected to give the Americans
full cooperation, but it was gen.
orally conceded the tough old
fighter would not be a "yes man.
Assailed by his opponents as a
would-be dictator. Marshal Papa
gos had promised a vigorous
housekeeping of the heretofore
shaky government.
Vote Declines Sharply.
The total vote. something over
IL million, represented a sharp
decline from the 1.713,738 votes
cast in September, 1851. This was
attributed to the barring of some
10000 military voters from the
rolls this year and to the absten-
ton of about 250,000 others.
A soldier since his youth
Marshal Papagos first gained
fame as commander in chief OF
the Greek Army which repulsed
Mussolini's vaunted forces early
in World War II and drove them
back to the heart of Albania.
After the Germans occupied
Greece, he was taken hostage in
1943 and kept in concentration
camps. The victorious American
5th Army freed him in May. 1945.

their lives in not doing it in re-
verse. What they should have

The script that was written by
mistake presents Murphy as a
hero more sinned against than
shining. He is picked up leaving
prison, to which he was rail-
roaded. He is in a mellow mood
and ready to go straight. Out
side, he meets the railroad de-
tective who framed him, and be-
fore he knows it, he's framed
again.
What's there left for a poor
kid to do but join up with the
Daltons and become a star player

bandits?
Between games, Murphy falls
under the spell of Beverly Tyler,
