Maryland Assembly
Opposition 10 {. 60.
Parkway Growing
By the Associcted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 1.-THE
Chesapeake & Ohio Canal park
way project faces a gloomy week
in the Maryland General As
sembly. An amendment that
would shelve it for an indefinite
period is gaining support.
Senator Ramsburg, Republi-
can, Of Frederick, came out to-
day in support Of the amend
ment by Senator Lofstrand, Re-
publican, of Montgomery, which
would Stalemate the project un-
til the Federal Government gave
all of the canal south of Han
cock back to Maryland.
And virtually all agree the
Congress wouldn't do that after
paying 50 million for the entire
canal stretch, from Washington
to Cumberland, In 1888.
Opposed in Frederick County
Senator Ramsburg said he was
forced to oppose the parkway
plan because Frederick County
residents are against it.
The opposition in Frederick
and Montgomery Counties de-
veloped after the westernmost
counties and the Government
proposed a scenic two-lane high
way the entire length of the u.s.
mile stretch.
Several groups in those coun-
ties-mostly sportsmen and wild
life conservationists opposed
the parkway because. they con-
tended, it would wipe out the
natural wildlife habitat that had
developed along the canal. T.
Plan Then Revamped.
Because of this opposition,
proponents of the parkway
principally from Allegany Coun-
Jy-revamped the proposal to
build 1t only from Cumberland
to Hancock. But the opposition
from lower Western Maryland
counties apparently wasn't dis
sipated by the compromise.
The Federal Government OBJ
tanned the canal tract, totaling
more than 5000 acres, from the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in
settlement Of an RFC mortgage.
The canal went out of use in
1924 and its property rights were
taken over by the railroad short
ly afterward. =,
Senator Lofstrand's amend
ment hasn't been acted on. It
probably will be aired when the
parkway plan comes up as a
special order Of business Tues
day.

To Meet Tuesday;

By Don S. Warren

An investigation Of the service

lated matters, will be ordered
Tuesday by the Senate District
Committee. 1t was indicated last
night.
Members Of the committee al.
ready have said they want full.

Apparently plans have been
carefully drawn, for the Tuesday

Senators are thinking Of lunch.

Others taking a lead in plan
ming the investigation include
Republican Senators Case Of
South Dakota, chairman of the
full committee; Beall Of Mary
land, head of a subcommittee
on public safety. and Nicely.
Democrat, Of West Virginia, for
mer committee chairman.
Committee members have been
talking in terms Of an outlay Of
$4,000 for the inquiry and Of
employing experts having no
Washington ties with any as
poets Of the transit situation.
Questions to be settled, some
said, are whether the inquiries
should be limited to the affairs
of the Capital Transit Co., or
whether the field should be
broadened to include other
phases of transportation prob
lens in Washington and in the
Maryland and Virginia suburbs.
Joint Inquiry Discussed.
There has been discussion, too,
Of joint inquiry with the House
District Committee. An invita-
ton to attend to the Tuesday
session may be extended to
Chairman Simpson of the House
committee.
Demands for such an inquiry
were revived when the transit
company recently increased its
annual dividend rate from $1.40
to $1.60.
Congressional criticism also
has been directed against the
employment Of James H. Flan-
agan, former chairman Of the
Public Utilities Commission, as q
transit company vice president,
and to the company announce
ment that it soon will apply for
another increase in passenger
rates.

Members of the Senate COM
mittee have been making a study
of the history of the company
and Of a critical report submitted
to the House District Committee

Dykes

Shea Tries for No. 8
After Harris Gets by
On Patched Pitching
By Burton Howkins

Manager Jimmy Dykes Of the
Athletics, who can't be choosy
about his pitching selections
will give Joe Coleman his first
starting assignment of the year
against the Mats Spec Shea in
the ladies' day game at Griffith
Stadium today. Shea is seeking
his eighth win against one
defeat.
The game will be televised at
2:30 by Station WTTG.
Coleman, once-promiSing right
handler, has won only one game
in the major leagues in four
years. That was at the expense
Of the Mats on May 80, 1851,
and Joe survived just long
enough to achieve victory. The
AS clustered seven quick runs
for him and he escaped with
the decision although the Mats
shelled him before he retired
anybody in the sixth inning.
One, Victory Since '49.
1t was in 1948 that Coleman
won IA games for the AS,
pitched three scoreless innings
in the All-Star game and seemed
prepared to become one of the
leagues standouts. He won IL
games with the fifth place
Athletics of 1949, but since has
captured only one decision. He
has served stretches at Ottawa
and Savannah in a vain attempt
to shed a sore arm and recover
his effectiveness.
Coleman gets his crack at the
Mats because Dykes staff is
skeletonized by an assortment of
ailments which have shelved
Bobby Shantz, Alex Kellner and
Bobo Newsom. He'll be facing
a club which has polished off
the AS 10 times in 13 games, in
cludlng the Mats IA conquest
last night before a gathering of
1923.
The Mats invade New York for
three games starting tomorrow,

Repulski Helps Fill Gap.
Stanky is hitting 1854 as a
substitute and fielding perfectly,
but heavy hitting by Rookie
Rip Repulski is also filling the
gap. Rip homered with two on
and drove in four runs as the
Cards clipped Cincinnati, 7-3,
last night behind Wilmer
Mizell's two-hit pitching. The
homer was the third of the series
for Repulski. Rookie Ray Jab-
lonski had 5-for-5 for the Cards.
Meanwhile, Monte Irwin hit a
grand slam home run in the
11th inning to give the Giants
a 1917 triumph in Pittsburgh
while the Phillies dropped their
fourth in a row. 8-4, to Brook
lyn. The Cubs beat the Braves,
7-3.
While all visiting teams won
in the senior circuit, all of the
American League home clubs

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland, July
9.-Ben Hogan and Frank Stra-
nahan remained in the thick
Of the scramble for the British
Open golf championship today
the two Americans being two
strokes back of a Scotsman and
Welshman who were tied for
the lead with 142s after two
rounds of play.
The leaders were Dai Rees of
Wales, veteran British Ryder
Cup player, and Eric Brown, a
28-year-old former railroad fire
man who once was Scottish anna
teur champion.
Hogan, United States Open
champion, shot a II today to
go with his first-round 73 for
a total of IA. His II was one
under the unofficial par for the
tough Carnoustie course by the
North Sea, and the Texans

70 after the first round, need
ed IA for today's 18 holes and
was tied with Hogan.
Rees fired a red-hot 10 today
for his 142. while Brown got his
second straight II for the same
total. In third place, stroke
behind, was Roberto deVicenzo,
the Argentine star, who added a
II to his opening-round 72.
One of the last to come in was
the defending champion, Bobby
Locke of South Africa, with a
145. Starting out in a hard rain
which stopped after a few holes,
Locke shot a 73 after getting a
par 70 yesterday. He was tied
with Max Faulkner, 1851 Brit
ish Open champion, who had
74-71-145.
Locke was a very disappointed
golfer at the end of his round,
for the three time champion ran
into trouble on the last three
holes. After sinking a 20-foot
putt on the 18th, he went one
over par on each of the next
two holes and then had to
scramble for his par S on the
18th.
Faulkner put himself back in
to the race after an outgoing

nine with a blistering 33.
