Coss Plays Rogers,
Veteran Stars Meet
In Tennis SemifinaIs
By cospor Nonnes

ny SoSp0r names
Two young Washington stars,
Tim Coss and Ted Rogers, will
meet in one Of the semifinal
matches of the Middle Atlantic
clay court tennis championships
at 8 pm. today on the Edge
moor Club courts.
In the other semif1nals, Charles
Masterson, former national
ranking player. and Jim Thac-
kara, veteran Washington star,
start play at 4 pm.
Rogers, seeded No. 8, reached
the semifiuals yesterday by
beating Fred McNair, seeded
sixth, in q well-played three-set
encounter, 2-6, 60, ca. In the
opening set McNair, who has
been playing exceptionally good
tennis this summer, held a def
mite edge through his aggres-
sive net play and heavily-to
drives. He kept his drives deep
and came to the barrier to make
decisive volleys.
Reversal in Second Set.
But the complexion of the
match changed entirely with the
start Of the second set. Rogers
began to get better length on his
ground strokes and McNair
started to lose length. The diff
ference showed UP in the rallies,
with Rogers now taking the Of
fensive away from McNair. The
Princeton youth also broke up
McNair's rushes to the net by
well-placed lobs. He gained
early leads in both the second
and third sets and held the
upper hand to the end.
Masterson's game proved too
well rounded for Phil Neff. The
former New York player, now
an executive assistant in the
White House, did not relax his
game against the steady Neff
and won the contest with the
loss OF only three games,
60, 6-3.
Women Follow Form.
Both mems seminal
matches yesterday went accord
ing to form. Ann Gray once
again beat Charlotte Decker.
6-3. 6-1, and Connie Ball of
Daytona Beach, Fla, won handi-
ly from Marjorie Norris, 6-3,
6-3.
The final between Mrs. Gray
and Mrs. Ball tomorrow should
be one Of the best women's
singles matches to be seen here
in years.
A young team that displayed
national ranking potentialities,
Rogers and Donald Dell, yester-
day mastered two Of Washing
tons best known tennis veterans,
Hugh Lynch and Barney Welsh,
in q closely fought contest, ell.
e3. 60. The first set was
played on Wednesday, the match
being called on account Of rain.
Yesterday the two youngsters
started with a rush and kept the
pressure on to gain the semi
finals. They camped at the net
and no matter what the veterans
did came of with the winning
points. II the two young play
ers combine as q regular team,
they, will be a good possibility
for national doubles honors.
Doubles Semifinals Tonight.
Another young team. Tommy
Bradford of Washington and
Bobby Payne Of Richmond,
reached the semifinals by beat
ing John Myers and AL Jacoby
In q long three-set battle. 8-10.
e3. Ga. Bradford and Payne
used their sharp net games and
strong overheads to score against
the better-balanced ground
stroke games Of their opponents.
Thackara and Don Leavens
defeated another promising
young team, Left Beck and John
Kopf, 60, 81, to gain their
seminal bracket. They will
face Bradford Payne in one
contest tonight and McNair-
Dave johnson will meet DELL
Rogers in the other.

of Florida.
It was never the intention after
1902 to end the railroad at Home
stead.
A surveying party was based
there and the scouts and hnkmen
explored southwest through the
trackless wastes of swamp and
jungle in the Everglades all the
while the Miami Heomestead line
was being built.
Cape Sable Route
The surveyors were led by a
young man then little. known to the
profession, William J. Krone. The
party required two years to finish
their work on Cape Sable plan.
They studied channels and water
courses, waves, prevailing winds
and storms, and came back with
the report in 1904 that the engi-
neers advised against the route.
Study of Geodetic Survey maps
of the water area north of the Flo
rida Keys clearly indicates the
geographical differences which in
the end influenced the Flagler
command to adopt plan to reach
the Island City by way of the Keys

Harbor. That distance is lis miles

According to the police report.
the injured man was listed as
Charles Dutton, 80, of 1903 Simon

Hospital suffering from cuts on his
forehead and right leg.
Driver of the car, identified by
police as Ninea Mistone, 1918 Will

reckless driving, Causing an acci-

ersess Highway which follows the
original Flagler grade.)
Proposed Route
Between Big Pine and Cabe Sa-
bic the proposed 'baby" Overseas
Highway would extend across 20
miles of shallow water, and then
over 20 miles through the Ever
glades National Park to a point on
the Taniami Trail near 40-mile
Bend.
The suggested new highway
would tie in the contemplated wes-
tern entrance to the Park with the
Overseas Highway serving Key
West.
If a scenic highway were built
along the Gulf Coast south of Tam
pa, an extention of Route 301, but
one section of road would have 20
be built from LaBelle, east of Fort
Myers, and Bermont. This would
cut out the present circuituous road
now in use.

would be needed on the "baby"
highway, that most of the work
would be fill brought up by dred-
ges from the adjacent territory,

BY FRANK w. LOWERING

The fascinating panorama of the
dramatic Florida Keys story is un-
rolled to a point So years ago by
the proposition of the Lower Keys
Property Owners Association that
a new "baby" Overseas Highway
should be built between Big Pine
Key and Cape Sable on the main
land.
In the suggestion is born again
the factual story of the daring Of
Henry NJ. Flagler when he vision
ed a railroad to Key West - and
built it.
The railroad was officially open
ed on January %, 1912, ninety
years and three days from Janu-
ary 10, 1922, when John W. Simon
ton bought the island of Key West
for $4,000 from the Spaniard, Juan
Pablo Salas.
Flagler's Plan
When the rails of the Florida
East Coast System had reached
Homestead, heart of the now rich
Redlands citrus and vegetable dis
trict, the construction was but a
forecast of what Flagler had in
mind = deep water port some

various parts of the country made
millions of dollars in "windfall
profits" by getting FHA-insured
loans on apartment projects which
exceeded the actual cost of the
projects.
Brownell's announcement made
reference to this in relation to
Powell. It said:
while assistant commissioner.
Powell had charge of the rental
housing program which operated
from 1916 to 1850. This program
resulted in windfalls to spectators
exceeding 81 million dollars alone
in the 285 cases reviewed by the
special investigations office set up
by the present administration in
FHA."
The department announcement
also asserted:
Powell, who entered FHA in
1888 rose to assistant commissioner
despite knowledge of (sic) the for
mer administration of an arrest
record, including conviction for
jewel theft"
Powell Silent
Powell, when called before the
Senate Banking Committee during
its investigation of FHA, declined
to answer questions. He pleaded
the Fifth Amendment to the Con-
stitution which provides that a man
may not be forced to give evidence
against himself.
The Banking Committee put into
its record a statement that Powell
had a criminal record.
Powell's attorney, Daniel B. Ma
her of Washington, later filed a
formal statement denying that the
committees statement of his rec
ord was correct.
The justice department declined
to say exactly when the grand
jury will convene here. However,
it was learned that Powell was

day for grand jury appearance

US. Accuses
Red China OF
Warlike Acts
Lodge Distributes
List Of 80 Charges
To U.N. Assembly
BY A. !. GOLDBERG

UNITED NATIONS, NY. Up -
Laying new groundwork for its an
nual fight to bar Communist China
from the U.N. General Assembly.
the United States has accused the
Peiping regime of 80 "warlike acts
of piracy" against ships and planes
of seven nations.
Chief us. Delegate Henry Cabot
Lodge Jr. distributed the charges
against the Chinese Reds as a pre-
lude to the final session of the
eighth General Assembly here this
afternoon e pm. EST and the
opening tomorrow of the ninth AS
sembly.
The list cited 27 attacks on
British ships or aircraft, climaxed
by the shooting down July % of a
British airliner off Hainan Island
in which three Americans and sew
en- other persons were killed or
were lost.
Part Of Pattern
"My purpose in making public
this list" Lodge said in an ac.
companying statement, 'is to show
that the Hainan shooting was no
isolated incident but part of a pat
tern of constant aggressive pres
sure against the free world"
There were five incidents involv.
ing the United States, including the
seizure of the small yacht with the
three Americans released only last
two involving Panama, and one
each involving Norway, France
and Portugal.
The list offered the British. Dan.
ish and Norwegian delegations -
whose governments have recog-
nized Red China - new occasion
for voting in the Assembly to keep
out Peiping's representatives.
