Mandates Put Fate
OF Grammer Directly
Up 10 High Court
BY the Assoeiossd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 12.-The
Court Of Appeals today issued
mandates which left g. Edward
Grammer only q direct appeal
to the Supreme Court Of the
United States to escape hanging
for the murder Of his wife.
The mandates formally an
nounced that Maryland's high
court upheld the conviction Of
Grammer in a Staying disguised
as an automobile accident. AS
the law provides. they were sent
out exactly one month after the
court filed its opinion.
James Lloyd Young, chief dep
uty clerk, mailed copies to Balti-
more criminal court and lawyers
for the State and defense. Gov.
McKeldin will receive q copy
Monday.
The single sheet. document
precluded GramIner from asking
Maryland officials to delay ac-
ton pending an appeal to the
Supreme Court.
Defense Undecided.
Attorneys for the 36-year-old
Office manager in q New York
mining and metals firm have not
yet announced they intend to
ask the high court, to consider
their case. They still have to
petition for review Of the Mary
land decisions and ask the Su-
preme Court to postpone ex-
ecution Of the State mandate.
Theodore Sherbow, co-counsel
Tor Grammer, refused comment
this week but indicated he may
have something to say in q few
days.
Without a Supreme Court
move, Judge Herman M. Moser
Of Baltimore would set the date
for Grammer'S hanging. Judge
Moser conducted the trial In
criminal court last year.
He found Grammer guilty Of
killing his wife Dorothy May, 80,
to be free to marry Miss Mathil-
da Mizibrocky. The 29-year-old
"other woman" worked for the
United Nations in New York.
Finally Signed Statement.
Two policemen in a prowl car
inadvertently drove into dark
street In northeast Baltimore
shortly after midnight, August
10, 1852, and saw the Grammer
car hurtle downhill and over
turn. Mrs. Grammer'S body, her
skull smashed, was inside.
The condition Of the car, an
anniversary present from Gram
mer to his wife, and a pebble
lodged under the accelerator to
keep the motor racing aroused
their suspicion.
Grammer, father Of three
girls. finally signed a statement
saying a remark by his wife In
furiated him and he struck her
in a momentary frenzy.
The Court of Appeals rejected
defense arguments that pretrial
publicity prevented Grammer
from getting fair hearing.

welding peasants in southeast

Some 400 farm workers armed

Get Tough Tactics
Smash. Rebellion in
Pennsylvania Prison
BY the Assoeiofed Press

BELLEFONTE, Pa, Jan. 23.-
A band Of 325 rebel convicts,
mindful of a tightening ring of
heavily armed State police and
unnerved by the roar of National
Guard fighter planes overhead,
surrendered Internationally last
night to the "get tough" orders
Of Gov. John s. Fine.
The rebels released six guard
hostages shortly before Z o'clock
and then filed into their cells
from the barricaded building
they had turned into a fortress.
None of the hostages had been
harmed.
The convicts-a holdout seq
ment of a riot that started last
Monday-tossed out through the
shattered windows Of the cell
block the eight revolvers, 500
rounds of ammunition and tear
gas equipment.
Their surrender made unnec-
essary a planned attack on the
cellblock strongpoint by State
policemen and alerted National
Guard units.
Earlier, while planes were buzz
ing the building. the prisoners
dropped a note through barred
window asking to see the Cath
olic chaplain. Rev. Richard
Walsh. When Father Walsh went
to the wall of the building, the
men shouted down that they
were willing to give up If State
officials would agree to an earlier
offer that there would be no re-
prisalS. The Governor made that
offer two days ago and it had
been accepted by the men in two
adjacent cellblocks.

District Builders Urge
End 10 VA Policy Of
Setting Realty Prices
By Robert J. Lewis
Saur Stuff corvespondanS

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.- WASH
ington delegates to the National
Home Building convention here
believe the Veterans AdminiStra-
tion's home building program
needs drastic changes If it is to
encourage a substantial volume
of construction this year.
In a proposal submitted to the
convention, Washington builders
called for VAS program to be
patterned more closely upon the
Federal Housing Administration
plan.
The Washington group urged
q diScontinuance Of VAS prac-
tice Of setting a definite sales
price.
They want VAS practice
changed so that the agency will
issue a commitment" to guar
antee q loan on the basis Of
reasonable value" with no sales
price specified.
Plan Called Impractical.
Having worked with the cur
rent VA loan program for many
years, we have found it is utterly
impractical for the VA to set
the sales price," the Washington
statement to the associations
Mortgage Finance Committee
said.
mo two persons can arrive
properly at an exact selling price
Of a house." the Washington
group contended. "FHA recog-
nizes this human factor. That is
why the FILA places its valuation
on a piece of property and, like
any other prudent lender, states
the amount it will insure. FILA
does not try to dictate the sales
price. We believe VA should fol-
low along the same line"
Must Attract Investors.
The same group also urged
that the Government guarantee
lenders against loss on CT loans
at a higher interest rate than the
present 4 per cent.
They want the interest rate to
be allowed to "seek its own level"
only by such action will in
vestment sources again come into
the CT market" the Washington
group contended.
Appraisal procedures followed
by VA also were criticized.
"The VA method of cost anal
ysis is unrealistic," said the state
ment. mo practical, known
method generally accepted in the
business is used. VA methods
will not show a breakdown for
all items that go to make up the
cost of house.
Urge Itemized List.
"Thus, it is impossible for VA
to show to the builder where
their point Of disagreement may
be on any particular item. A
simple itemized list should be
prepared by VA of all costs on
any particular house"
At session yesterday, Edward
r. Carr, Washington home
builder and past president of the
national organization called for
an end Of public housing.
The whole idea was sold to
the American people with the
claim it will clear slums and will
take care of all the low-income
groups. This is demonstrably a
false claim. In our own city Of
Washington, we have had public
housing almost from the begin
ming Of the program and not

ton for discontinuance of the

Before pretrial was reached,
I took Mr.. DawSon'S testimony
by deposition in my Washing
ton Office with his attorney
present. I prefaced my ex-
animation by asking Dawson if
he understood that I was draw
ing a distinction between
shakespeare" the pseudonym
used by the Earl of oxford,
and "Shaksper," the man from
Stratford-the name as he
himself wrote it-since they
were two different persons.
Towards the conclusion of the
examination, I read from Daw-
sons letter, as follows: There
is a mass of perfectly clear
evidence" that the Stratford
man was the author and dram
atist. I then asked if he could
cite a single piece of evidence.
Ben Jonson's Verses
After rejecting a moment,
Dawson said: THAT evidence
is not the sort of thing I could
nail down in two minutes"
After repeating my request
that he mention one item of
evidence that Shaksper of
Stratford wrote the plays, he
finally said:
well, you, Of course, will
not agree that his (Ben JON
son's) verses facing the title
page of the first folio were any
such evidence. I think they
were."
asked: "And there is
nothing in those verses that
refers to Shaksper of Stratford
except the expression Sweet
Swan of Avon?"
He answered: "Well, there is
certainly nothing else there
that specifically connects the
author with Stratford."
I asked him if some one else
could not have had a place on
the Avon. near Stratford.
Like the Earl of Oxford?"
he inquired.
We, both knew that Oxford
did have an estate on the Avon,
not far from Stratford.
This was the only instance
cited by Dawson of any identi-
flcation of the Stratford man
as the author. Dawson has
been a Shakespearean expert
at the Folger Library for about
90 years. II

"Shakespeare"-was the au-
thor: This in a review a few

above, and is not responsible
for the error which occurred in
setting the type.)
Examining the Evidence
There are many references to
Shakespeare as the author
during his lifetime. No one
during that period ever identi-
fled him as the man from
Stratford. the grain dealer who
sued his customers for small
sums and had a dubious con-
nection with the London the
ater for several years, finally
becoming a minor actor. I
challenge Mr.. McManaway to
produce a Scintilla of evidence
that Shaksper. the Stratford
man, was ever identified by any
one as a poet and dramatist be-
fore the publication, seven
years after his death, in the
First Folio, of the false clue,
the red herring designed to
mislead the public regarding
the true author. whose anony-
nifty was ordered by the gov
ernment, for very good reasons.
That is the only place where
any semblance of evidence can
be found.
Questions Of fact, and this
includes historical fact, can be

dence, and not by surmise,
