time of the crime, and sane or
insane at trial time.
Miss Ruzza, II, was a pretty
drum majorette at Suitland
High School. Her erstwhile lover
emptied a five-shot .38-caliber
revolver into her near her home,
813 Forty-ninth street, Capitol
Heights. Md, and left her body
in driveway.
His lawyer, Howard Vogel,
struggled to put across the idea
the first shot was an accident
and that Bryant's mind went
blank after that. Mr.. Vogel said
his client was deeply in love with
the girl, whose unborn child he
fathered.
Defense Stresses Amnesia.
The lawyer kept plugging away
at the theme that Bryant was
mentally incompetent and a
periodic amnesia victim as the
result of head injuries suffered
In three auto smaShupS.
But even the defense psychia-
trist, DR.. Manfred Guttmacher
of Baltimore. testified Bryant
knew right from wrong and real
lied the consequences of his acts.
And three witnesses, appar-
emily summoned to testify Bry-
ant was a changed boy after the
traffic wrecks, testified instead
that he seemed unchanged.
Lie Detector Test Admitted.
He attempted to show Bryant's
signed confession was not VOL
untary, but obtained rather
when the Army veteran was
deeply shocked by the sight of
autopsy photos of the girl.
Mr.. Vogel aStounded the
prosecution and the court by in
sisting on admitting a test from
a so-called lie detector, even
though it portrayed Bryant as a
liar.
Mr.. Vogel said the test, mot
worth the paper it's printed on, !"
helped lure his client into a con-
fession.
Carlyle j. Lancaster, States
attorney for Prince Georges
County, said the test was one of
the most damaging things adj
mitted into evidence against
Bryant. He said it could not
have been used if Mr.. Vogel had
not asked for it.
In summing up the States
case, Mr.. Lancaster declared
Bryant killed the girl the first
chance he got after she broke
off with him.
Bryant sat quietly, occasionally
smiling, as Mr.. Lancaster called
him "the most vicious cold
blooded brutal" murderer
he ever met.
Mr.. Vogel said he hasn't made
up his mind whether to ask fol-
"a new trial. or, in event Bryant
gets of with life sentence
whether to appeal.

Neighborhood Pools
Decision in Hands
OF County Council
By Cherries [. Hoffman

The decision as to whether
Montgomery County is to get a
series Of neighborhood pools
without cost to the taxpayer
today is in the hands of the
County Council.
Tempers f1ared last night as
some $50 residents damned the
county building in Rockville and
overf1owed into Railways and
outside exits as the council held
a public hearing on a coming code
amendment to open the way for
establishment of the pools in
residential areas.
Some proponents of the coming
change stood for more than
three hours at windows watch
ing the proceedings on the hot
test issue in the county in sew
eral months. The hearing was
marked by outbursts of applause
and gavel-pounding of Chairman
Louis A. Gravelle.
The amendment would permit
establishment of the self help
pools" paid for by private sub
scriptions. on any 2.5-acre tracts
in residential areas.
The need for the pools was
not denied. Only the means of
getting them was at issue.
Additional Rules Urged.
Leading proponents of the
change-the Montgomery County
Swimming Pool Council-how-
ever, urged the council to adopt
additional regulations to protect
property owners AUDITING pro-
posed pool sites.
The councils attorney, Plum
mer M. Shearin, suggested re-
quirements calling for 100-foot
frontage on a street and 50-foot
setbacks in front, IS in the rear
and Is on the sides.
He also suggested requirements
for a 6-foot fence around the
pool and screening on sides
abutting residential homes.
Mr.. Shearin put in a plea for
pool associations with sites
smaller than 2.5 acres. They
should be given a chance to op-
crate as special exceptions to be
granted by the Board of Appeals
he said.
He urged however, that in
denying pool bids, the board be
required to find that the pools
would materially impair" sur
rounding property values.
Would Relax Regulation.
At present the board must
deny pool applications if there
is any evidence shown that sur
rounding property will be ad-
versely affected. The County
Civic Federation urged this be
relaxed.
The Maryland National Cap
ital Park and Planning Com
mission recommended thu
amendment be killed and that
the Board of Appeals retain
jurisdiction over the pool loca-
tons.
But Commissioner Donald E
Gingery said the county has te
get these pools built"
He urged that rather oper
rules" be adopted concerning
them and that a special ad-
visory group be set up to pass
on each associations applica-
ton.
Opponents of the pools. GEN.
tered chiefly in the area imme-
diately surrounding the proposed
Cedarbrook Club at Summit av-
enue and Cedar lane, West Ken
sington. refused to compromise
the issue.
Their attorney, Thomas c
Kelley. termed the proposed
amendment a threat to present
coming policies"

Arabs Tell U. S. They
Are Not Worried Over
IsrueI's immigration

LONDON, (JTA) = An official
Syrian source announced in Da-
mascus that the United States has
informed the Arab League thru
diplomatic channels that Amer
lea has given a firm warning to
Israel to restrict Jewish immigra-
ton.
(In Washington, State Depart
ment sources said that the Arabs
were probably referring to the
speech made recently before the
American Council for Judaism by
Henry A. Byroade, Assistant Sec
rotary of State for Near Eastern
Affairs. Mr.. Byroade had express
ed Arab "fears" about Jewish i'm
migration to Israel. Copies of that
speech, in Arabic, have been dis
tributed in Arab countries.)
The Arab states have replied to
the State Department that they
are not as much concerned at
present about the status of inmi-
grafton as they are about U. S.
financial aid to Israel and about
the ability of Israel to acquire
arms from various countries.

Israel Merchant Marine
Ranks Second Among
Middle East Fleets

HAIFA QSD = Israel's mer-
chant marine now ranks second
among all Middle Eastern COM
mercial shipping fleets-only
Turkeys merchant fleet exceeds
that of Israel. At the fourth
National Convention of the Israel
Maritime League, held aboard the
SIS. Jerusalem in Haifa recently,
DR.. N. Wydra, Director and Gen
eral Manager of Tim Israel Navi-
cation Company, Ltd, described
the growth of Israel's merchant
marine from one ship in May,
1948, to 81 vessels today.
Resolutions adopted at the con-
vention defined the Leagues task
as that of propagating the nauti-
cal spirit, educating youth for
the sea, and looking after the Is
rael seaman. The Maritime League
was originally founded in June,
1887 to revive the interest in sea-
faring and stimulate the growth
of maritime activity in the Jew
ish community of Palestine. The
League was instrumental in ex-
banding the port of Tel Aviv, and
sponsoring the Haifa Nautical
School BOUNDED in 1889.

Agency, 1nc.)

Frankly, this was to have been
a column devoting some space to
the hitting slump that AL Rosen
suddenly found himself in. AS a
result of Al's injury and a period
on the sidelines, Al's tremendous
hitting pace was interrupted.
But that column never had a
chance to materialize. True to
form, Al stepped into the All-Star
game with a performance that
will long be remembered. With
out his hitting power that day in
Cleveland, the American League
would never have been able to
score their upset.
Whether or not you have al
ready read a detailed account of
that exciting contest, the role of
Rosen bears repeating. In fact, it
could stand a recap about another
dozen times.
In the third inning with 90
score Al came up with two run
ners on base. He smashed a pitch
over the center field screen for
homer that drove in two runs.
This would have been enough
of a contribution. But in the fifth
Rosen knocked another homer
with one man on, scoring two
more runs. In the sixth he came
back with single that filled the
bases, but the American League
could not capitalize on it.
Thus Rosen hit two homers and
a single to get three hits out of
four trips to the plate. He drove in
five runs out of the American
Leagues total of II, nearly half of
the tallies that enabled the Amer
lean loop to defeat the Nationals
11-9.
Just for good measure, Rosen
also participated in putting over
a double play.
AS for the batting slump" it
now remains to be seen whether
AL will resume his old clip for the
remainder of the season :.

Morris Abram, native of Fitzgerald, is seeking
the Fifth Congressional District Post of Georgia
and indications are that he will get it. Georgia
voters go to the polls next Wednesday.
The young attorney is vying with incumbent
James c. Davis for Atlantas Democratic Party
Congressional nomination, equivalent to election,
in red-hot campaign that has brought forth
charges and countercharges
Abram has called his opponent: Minority
Vote" DaviS-the latter twice in three elections
receiving less votes than his rival . yet being
nominated because of the county unit system that
he, by virtue of his office had put into effect.
Morris Abram has promise the voters that if
he's elected he'll rid the Fifth District of Georgia
the South's largest and third in the nation-of the
undemocratic county unit system.
Abram, who has practiced law in Atlanta since
his discharge from the Army following World War
H. calls himself "a liberal Democrat" who will
work for better understanding between both
races" He is believer in the program adopted
by the 1852 National Democratic Convention
much yet to be enacted by the Eisenhower admin
istration.
Abram calls his opponent "reactionary Old
Guard Republican disguised in Democratic Party
clothing"
Repeatedly during the campaign Abram has
brought forth his early promise-that he still
maintains-to keep the election clean without
the usual display of mud-slinging. He has pledged

himself to deal with "the valid issues, which the
people of the Fifth District want and deserve to
know about"
81 will not discuss my opponents character,
family, or personal affairs" said Abram. II have
signed the pledge which the League of Women
Voters has submitted to all candidates to refrain
from appeals to racial or religious bigotry."
And observers say that ne has kept his word.
The League of Women Voters of Georgia has
issued an appeal to political leaders and candi-
dates for public offices to see that their political
campaigns free from appeals to racial or re-
legious bias" The appeal followed injection of the
religious issue in the Congressional race in Atlanta,
when one candidate made a bid for support on
the grounds that his opponent, Jew, represented
the Jewish minority"
Morris Abram is a member of the Hebrew
Benevolent Congregation of many civic and pro-
fessional organizations, and was married in 1914
to Jane Maguire-they have two daughters and a
son.
His typical Georgia background and his ia
mliarity with the problems of the district as well
as his frankly expressed views upon the major
issues of the campaign of 1884 are qualifications
that the voters of the Fifth District will find i'm
portant in making decision for popular elections
and majority representation against political trick
cry and minority government.
Here's what the Fitzgerald Leader had to say
about Abram:
