Recover Stolen
Auto at Uniontown

Federal Bureau of Investigation
authorities are still investigating
the theft of an automobile, stolen
early last Friday morning from
Alder street in Oakland, and re-
covered Friday evening in Union
town, Pa.
Garrett county officials said

surancc man, reported the theft Of
his automobile Friday morning,
after which a teletype message
concerning the theft was sent by
Maryland State police.
Two Uniontown patrolmen dis
covered the abandoned vehicle Fri
day about $3.50 p. M, on the park
ing lot of Uniontown Post AZ, Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars. The FBI
was notified since the car was in
volved in interstate transportation.
Authorities said the automobile
had been started by crossing
wires" Bandagcs, taken from a
first aid kit in the car, were dis
covered in the back seat of the
auto. As they were bloody, officials
believed they were used to treat
cuts and burns suffered when the
thieves were engaged in crossing
wires either in the stolen auto on
two others which they attempted
to steal.
Uniontown police said two youths
were seen leaving the car Friday
morning but their identity was not
established. The cars gas tank was
empty. Mrs. Gender who went to
Uniontown to recover the car, was
questioned by FBI personnel
Two other cars in the same
neighborhood from which the Con
der machine was stolen, were
found to have been tempered with
sometime Thursday night. Wiring
Of the cars, owned by c. E. Sharps
and Asa Lewis, was ripped and
damaged. The Sharps car was in
angarage near Seventh and Alder
streets, while the Lewis car was
parked across the street from the
Gender machine. Gender said the
wiring and starting mechanism of
his car were damaged.

Mahoney Planning
Appeal on Recount

George P. Mahoney's planned
appeal of a Calvert county court
decision denying him access to
election records may be the delay
that would try DR.. II. c. Byrd's
patience.
While Mahoney aides pondered
when and how they would make
the promised appeal, the question
arose, when might such an appeal
be heard.
The Court of Appeals is in sum-
mer recess and the next regular
term does not begin until October
5.
Over the weekend Dr.. Byrd who
won the nomination for governor
over Mahoney, said if the recounts
were not sufficiently completed to
enable the State Democratic con-
vention to nominate candidates
"ilSIl IL IHICCS July LOJ uC pr SOll-
ally would ask the delegates to
recess.
But Byrd said in the event of
"unjustifiable and delaying tactics
on the part of the Mahoney forces,
then the delegates would have to
take such action as might be neces-
sary."
Calvert county was one of sew
eral where Mahoney asked re-
counts. A check of the votes there
left Byrd the victor with only
change of two ballots. Mahoney
filed suit but Circuit Judge John
b. Gray denied Mahoney lawyers
access to poll and registration
books.
Recounts meanwhile drag on in
Queen Anne's and Talbot counties.

The 1854 summer training peri
cd will commence for men of &C.
company, 12lst Engineer Battal-
ion, Maryland National Guard, on
the morning of July "a. Leaving
by truck convoy at 600 a. m. Sat-
urday morning, the company will
reach its destination, Indiantown
Gap, at 500 the same afternoon
and will join other units of the 10Th
Infantry Division where it will
spend two weeks in technical
training of the type necessary for
division support.
Training will stress individual,
on the job, specialist training in
each of the areas of engineer work.
MOS training in demolitions, rig
ging, carpentering, communica-
tons, driving and mechanics, con-
struction and recruit training will
comprise two days work, while
minefield laying, tactical problems,
Bailey bridge layout and construc-
ton, bivouac and road maintenance,
compass problems, and special
approach march, will complete the
training schedule. Interior guard
will be maintained at all times,
each company sharing the RESPONSE
bility on alternate days.
Among the recreation scheduled
for the battalion will be an all
company track meet with field
events, squad competition in rig
ging, conducted by SIC Floyd
WenseI and SIC Mahlon Yost,
barbed wire ENHANCEMENT layout,
conducted by SIC Floyd Custer
and Bailey bridge layout, con-
Quoted by SIC Herschel Johnston
and Cpl. Fred Thayer. A battalion
softball and volley ball tournament
will be held in the evenings, and
division review will wind up the
week. Drill competition under the
command of SIC Johnston will
take place following the track meet.
Capt. Arthur c. Calhoun, Com
pany Commander, has expressed
the hope that the "Hillbillies" will
once again bring home the coveted
Honor Plaque, won by Co. &c" in
1850, 1852 and 1858. With more
men going to camp than in previ-
Gus years, chances of winning the
plaque are repeatedly high.
A good camp is to be expected
this year, the obvious reason be-
ing the absence of the Virginia
heat, experienced for the past four
summers, and return to barracks
life after three summers of con-
tinual bivouac Mess facilities
under Sgt. Glenn Whitmer are ex-
pected to be tops, and the supply
end is once again in the capable
hands Of SIC "Pansy" limbaugh,
winner of the State maintenance
award for the past two years.
Men of the Company hope to
implement the recreation facilities
provided by organizing a band of
about ten pieces. Every man is in
high expectation of this annual

Bethlehem Man
Is Found Guilty
Of Assault Charge

Donald Hardesty, of the Bethle-
hem community near Deer Park,
was found guilty of assault upon
Herbert Dodrill, of West Virginia,
at a trial Monday afternoon before
Trial Magistrate w. O. Bitter.
He was sentenced to six months
in the House of Correction, but up
on payment of $25 and costs the
sentence was suspended and the
man was placed under parole for
one year. Magistrate Bitter ordered
him to refrain from drinking and
gambling, and said if the parole is
broken, that he would begin serv-
ing his six months sentence.
Testimony revealed that Hardes-
ty had struck Dodrill on the head
with beer bottle, causing a cash
in the right side of the face, and
that he had been otherwise injured.
Dodrill was patient in the Gar
rett County Memorial hospital
where his wounds were treated.
The assault occurred Saturday
night. Henry Arnold, Oakland's po-
lice chief testified that both had
left Oakland together Saturday
evening after they had been
ordered to get out of town. Both
apparently had been under the in
fluence of liquor and Arnold said
they had been previously ordered
out of two beer establishments.
Dodrill, a World War II veteran
with shrapnel wounds, had come
to Oakland from West Virginia
earlier in the week and had be-
come acquainted with Hardesty.
When they reached Hardesty's
home at Bethlehem, Dodrill testi-
fled that Hardesty demanded his
pocketbook and struck him with
the bottle 1t was also brought out
that Hardesty, apparently becom-
ing alarmed at the mans condition
called the sheriff's office, telling
Corporal Sam Conrad he had
awakened at his home and found
a strange man in his bed. The case
was prosecuted by W. Dwight
Slower, States Attorney. Stuart
Hamill, Jr., was Hardesty's at
torney.
Sentenced to House
Arnold Friend, of Sang Run,
pleaded guilty to assault upon his
wife last Sunday morning about 3
o'clock, and at hearing Monday
morning before Magistrate Bitter
he was sentenced to a year in the
House of Correction. Sheriff Paul
w. Fisher, who took Friend to
the institution on Wednesday, said
Friend was on parole as the result
of a similar occurrence previously.
Mrs. Friend sustained the loss of
some hair and was beaten about
the face.
Fined for Theft
Henry G. WEIGHT, ST., and Henry
c. WEIGHT, Jr., pleaded guilty to
charge of petty larceny at a
hearing before the magistrate on
Monday afternoon and were fined
$25 and costs each.
The two were arrested by Troop
er Milton Hart and B. and O. de-
tective Thomas w. Engle, who
charged them with larceny of rail

"The smashing victory in the

Democrats Capture
GOvernorslips in al
Least Is States
By Joseph A. Fox

Democrats ouSted at least six
Republican Governors in yes
terday's elections, and, with the
help of their victory in Maine
in September, will control at
least 26 State capitols in jan
uary.
Republicans failed to pick up
single governorship from the
opposition, and were assured of
only l9 seats.
Three races still were unde-
ci1ed at midday.
Republicans nursed slim leads
in Nevada and Wyoming with
nearly all precincts reporting.
In Minnesota, Orville Free
man, the Democrat -Farmer-La-
Dor candidate, had almost a 40,-
900 lid over incumbent Repub-
lican C. Elmer Anderson, with
2,109 of 1851 precincts in.
The Republicans elected l3
Governors yesterday; the Demo-
Gratis, II.
Democrats hit the jackpot in
two key States when w. Averell
Hartman ended IL years of
G. o. P. domination in New York
and State Senator George w.
Leader triumphed in Pennsyl-
vania.
Mr.. Leader was the first Dem
ocrat to win the Pennsylvania
governorship in is years. George
Earle was the last Democrat to
preside in Harrisburg.
Widespread unemployment in
the Pennsylvania coal fields was
felt to have figured strongly in
the outcome.
The gubernatorial races ran
pretty close to form. Demo-
cratic victories had been pre-
dicted in the longtime G. O. P.
strongholds of New York and
Pennsylvania and in Connecti-
cut. There, Gov. John Lodge
brother of Henry Cabot Lodge.
White House intimate and
United Nations delegate-fell be-
fore former Representative
Abraham A. Ribicoff.
The Democrats, as expected,
elected Ohio's Gov. Frank j.
Lausche for an unprecedented
fifth term and G. Mennen Will
liams of Michigan for fourth.
Each demonstrated strength in
strategic States that is likely
to make them figure in presi-
dental speculation two years
from now.
The Hartman victory in New
York does the same for the bank
er-industrialist, a longtime New
Deal and Fair Deal trouble
shooter.
In California, Gov. Goodwin
K Knight held on to the Repub-
lican seat that he took over when
former Gov. Earl Warren went
to the Supreme Court last year.
In Colorado, Democratic Ed
win C. Johnson, who quit as a
United States Senator to run for
Governor, made the grade.
