ComprOmisesStudied
By Taft in Move 10
End TideIands Debate

Senate Majority Leader Taft
said today he is exploring pos
sible compromises in the SUBJ
merged lands bill. which has kept
the Senate tied up for nearly a
month, but admitted he is not
very hopeful of an agreement.
At the same time, he made
plans to press the fight for State
ownership by keeping the Senate
in session again tonight until
10 pm. and tomorrow until S
pm.
He renewed his determination
to move on Monday to table the
Federal ownership substitute.
This would not stop the oppo-
nents from continuing the debate
on the original bill, but leaders
have served notice they will keep
the Senate in continuous session
around the clock next week.
Senator Morse, Oregon Inde-
pendent, meanwhile became the
first opponent of the State own
erShip bill to admit a f1libuster is
going on. But he claimed it is
not the extreme type of a fill
buster which seeks to block &C
ton entirely.
AS he took the floor today,
Senator Morse told Senator Taft
he thought he could speak for
eight to IL hours.
Strong bipartisan support for
State ownership was registered
on the first test vote yesterday
when the Senate refused to lay
aside the bill temporarily to
get action on economic con-
trolls, which expire next Thurs
day night.
The vote was 81 to 21. Nine
teen Democrats, including Mi
norlty Leader Lyndon johnson of
Texas Joined with AZ Republi-
cans to keep the submerged lands
bill before the Senate. Seventeen
Democrats got the support of
only three Republicans and SEN
ator Morse to sidetrack the
measure.
Day and night sessions fire.
Quently cause Senators to snap
at each other. and last night it
began to happen in this endur-
ance contest.
The flare-up came over the
unrelated issue of power develop
ment, and pitted Republican
Senator Welker of Idaho against
three Democrats-Senators Mag
nusen and Jackson of Washing
ton and Gore of Tennessee.
Senator Welker got mad when
Senators Magnuson and Gore re-
ferred to a Chattanooga (Tenn.)
newspaper report that the Idaho
Republican had advocated sale of
IVA to private interests. Sen
ator Welker denied having made
the statement. He accused
Stephen Mitchell, chairman of

mittee, of spreading "willful

To a little white. mutt-like
dog in Arlington. biting a post
man was nothing. He'd done it
before.
So last month, when a tall and
raw-boned poStman came through
the gate with the morning mail,
he did it again. A little nip just
below the left knee.
What the little dog had done
was to nip the ,son of presi-
dental press secretary, James c.
Hagerty. Of course. it was just
another postman to the dog and
as a matter of fact, that's the
way Roger Hagerty, 81, likes to
FEEL.
The cog bite gave Roger an
in with the other poStmen
at the Preston King Post Office
Station at 5877 North Washing
ton boulevard, Most of them
have been bitten and bear the
scars as a badge of their oc-
cupation. Roger, despite his
celebrated father, is just another
guy around the Office to lug the
mail.

Big Brass Caught

Buoy Away Down
BY the Associated Press

NORFOLK, Va, Aug. 8.-The
Pentagon got its pants wet the
other day.
Officers aboard the battleship
Missouri tell this story:
Frank c. Nash, assistant secre-
tary of defense, boarded the
Missouri when she stopped at
Guantanamo on her way back
to Norfolk from a midshipman
training cruise in South Ameri-
can and Caribbean waters.
Somewhere between Guam
tanamo and Norfolk arrange
ments were made to transfer Mr..
Nash from the Mighty Mo to a
destroyer in the training squad
ron. A line was rugged between
the two ships and Mr.. Nash
climbed into the breeches buoy.
When he was about midway
something happened, and the
assistant secretary was down in
the drink.
Cameras clicked as shutter
bugs had a field day. Mr.. Nash
reached the destroyer safe and
sound, but dripping wet. Later
examination of the film, how
ever, caused great disappoint-
ment. Some pictures were out of
focus and the others were too
small to be used,

Planners Spur Move
For Farley Of Experts
To Solve Route 24O :
Joseph M. Sicily.
Howard Seal.
By GEORGE Beveridqe

The next move in nearby
Maryland's Route 240 contro-
versy centered today around eff
forts to get staff experts for all
parties to the dispute together
for a conference.
The National Capital Plan
ming Commission, at a meeting
yesterday, instructed its director,
John Nolen, jr., to set up such
a conference in the hope of get
ting at least a compromise solu-
ton out of the muddled road
fight.
Proposals for such a meeting
already had been made. but there
has been no evidence of a fast
get-together.
At the same time, the planners
told Mr.. Nolen to explain to
other groups the commissions
hope for solution. 1t boilS down
to proposal that Route 240'S
southeast leg be brought toward
Washington only far enough to
connect with the inter- county
belt route.
Through Part of Park.
The belt route is proposed to
extend through a Maryland part
of Rock Creek Park between
Forest Glen and Wisconsin ave-
nue. on its way across Montgom-
cry and Prince Georges counties.
The Maryland Roads Commission
also proposes. however, to bring
the $40 leg through the same
park section-East of Wisconsin
avenue-and continue it on to
the East-West highway.
The planning commission
did not make public all details of
it's alternate proposal. officials
said, however, it calls for a con-
nection for Route 240'S southeast
leg with the inter-county belt
west of Wisconsin avenue-and
outside Rock Creek Park.
Mr.. Nolen said the plan would
save miles of road lanes and
make unnecessary several road
structures proposed by the roads
commission. However, it also of
course would kill any immediate
extension of Route $40 to the
East West highway near the Dis
trict line. The Maryland Roads
Commission intends that the
Route 240 leg later should be

proved the belt route through
the park several months ago.
however, officials said they did
so in the belief that it was the
only practical location for the
belt route, of which they ap-
proved.
At yesterdays concluding seS-
sion of their monthly meeting,
commission members took a
three-hour field trip. Points in
spected included the partially
completed East Capitol Street
Bridge, the Baltimore Washing
ton parkway and Kenilworth
avenue. Wentworth avenue, i'm
proved, will be a major link be-
tween the parkway and the new
bridge.

throw a party. 1t was a

were stomping on the floor,
causing the ceiling in Liszt's
room to tremble.
He found it impossible to
concentrate. Finally he went
upstairs and raped on the
door.

"This is indeed an honor!"
Liszt bowed and entered
the apartment. He walled to
the piano and idly fingered
the keys. The noise Subsided,
and there was a hush of ex=
pectancy. If the revelerS ex-

they were doomed to diSap-

placed the key in his pocket.
Then bowling once more, he
left before the others could

In a bluff bid of one spade. He
was smoked out by Mr.. AbepS
double. His opponents then
reached game in hearts-a con-
tract which is not as easy as it
looks.
The opening lead was the one
six of spades. Trying to confuse
the issue, Mrs. Keen played the
nine from dummy and won in
her own hand with the king.
\ It looks like she has to lose
only two hearts and q club. She
can ruff her second club in
dummy. But look at the prob
lem a little more closely. To ruff
a club she first has to let the
enemy in with a club. If Mr..
Truck wins and returns a spade,
Mr.. Dale will ruff. Two more
heart losers are automatic and
that sets the contract.
If Mrs. Keen leads the ace and
another trump to get Mr.. Dale
out of hearts, Mr.. Truck will win
the second trump lead, play an
other high trump and then his
side can cash two club tricks.
AS the play actually went, Mrs.
Keen led the seven of clubs at
trick two. Mr.. Dale carelesSly
played the eight. And here Mr..
Truck, who is a very fine, inter-
nationally known player, made
a delicate inference. Too deli
cate. Surely, he reasoned, if Mr..
Dale were ready to ruff spade,
he would have ducked the club
lead to make sure Mr.. Truck
would win the second trick. He
hadn't ducked so therefore he
had another spade.
Mr.. Truck overlook the eight
of clubs with the nine and led
back a trump Better he
should not be such an expert.
Mrs. Keen won with the. are

lost two trumps and made her
game. L

the possibilities of such Il maya
zine in putting down in print the
history Of the past and the present.
Although divided by state lines,
Mr.. Owens stressed the point that
the area had a cultural region of
its own in which the region should
take pride, and that the special Gull
ture of the area was worth pre-
serving.
Host at the dinner was Ernest
Baker, owner of the tea room. Rev.
a. J. Haines, Episcopal rector,
Oakland, was postmaster. Mr..
Robinson outlined his plan for
future issues. For entertainment,
Miss Muriel Robinson sang three
ballads, one indicative of each Of
the three states involved.
Attending the function from
Oakland besides Mr. and Mrs. Rob
inson and their daughter and son
