The man who probably hits
the longest ball Of anybody in
Congress was asked by Runt to
come out for the team. The Re-
publican In question Is Jack
Westland Of Washington, for
mer national amateur golf cham
pion. Representative Westland
decided the golf swing and the
baseball swing are unrelated and
declined to come out. Runt,
bubbling over with the old school
spirit. just couldn't understand
such an attitude and turned
away in anger. According to
Representative Westland, they
have not spoken since.
"It's like a Quaker meeting
when Runt and I play golf to-
gether. which we do frequently"
he added.
Interest in the game is mount
ing, and several large blocks Of
seats have been taken. The
Young Democrats. nearly 200
strong, will be behind the Demo-
cratic dugout. while members Of
the Republican Club on Capitol
Hill will be present in number
as well as in voice behind the
Republican dugout.
Tickets for the game may be
obtained in Room 724 in The
Star Building, where mail orders
will also be filled. Members

To Celebrate Victory June Isl

Plans for a victory supper after
the Congressional Baseball Game,
to be, held in Griffith Stadium
on Tuesday night. June Is. for
the benefit Of The Evening Star
Summer Camp Fund. are being
laid by Representative Auchin-
Gloss Of New Jersey.
Mr.. Auchincloss, trainer Of the

at the party, which will be held
in the Republican Club.
This is the first really opti-
mistic gesture from the Repub-
lican team, which so far has had
an unbroken string Of defeats in
the annual game.
Asked whether he might be q
bit premature in making the
plans. Mr.. Auchincloss declared:
$50 maybe the Democrats
have won from the start of the
series. Look what the Senators
did to the winning streaks of
Whitley Ford and Ed Lopat Of
the Yankees. 'Lopat had knocked
OF Washington IL times in q
row. and Lopat. 6; but during
the last series in New York the
Senators won. You know there
Is a law Of averages"
Still, a Star reporter pointed
out, the Democrats might win.

That's okay, too," said Train
er Auchincloss. 1--WE won the
game at Daytona Beach, and we
haven't celebrated that yet.
We're going to have a party
whether we celebrate one or two
victories this year."

Delayed Till Oct. II
stat, Photo by Paul sehmick.,

The long-awaited opening of
the Washington-Baltimore park
way as full length inter-city
route-scheduled for October 16
has been changed to Friday,
October %. it was learned today.
Reason for the change IS that
traffic markers and other signs
won't be ready by next week end
The road itself will be ready.
All week long, city highway
-,reWs have been putting tile fin
ishing touches on an extension
of New York avenue NE. from
BladenSbllrg road to the District
line, where the parkway picks up.
The new Federal portion of the
parkway. from the District line
to JessLp, Md. will meet a 10
mile State constructed portion
which has been open to traffic
for a year.
It had been thought earlier
that the opening might be de-
layed because of work to be done
on the New York avenue job.
But S. r. Harrison. director of
city streets, said both New York
and South Dakota avenue extern
sions will be ready any time the
Federal roadway is opened.

Rockville'S Town Council
studied a summary Of 10 def
ciencies in its municipal ac-
counting system, records and
procedures last night but said
steps had been taken to cor
rect most of the shortcomings
discovered in an audit for the
year ending June 80.
The auditor pointed out that
because of the deficiencies he
was unable to say whether state
ments in the audit present a
fair financial picture of the
| town in conformity with gen.
orally accepted accounting prin-
ciples.
He added, however, that "our
examination did not disclose
evidence of actions resulting in
application of assets for other
than municipal purposes"
The audit included recon-
mendations for correction of the
deficiencies, and council noted
that most of these have been
adopted.
The deficiencies noted were:
81. weak internal control and
inadequate accounting for inven-
tory and usage of materials and
supplies: 2. absence of detailed
or adequate record keeping for
investment of public funds in
capital assets, such as equipment
and machinery, furniture and
fixtures, land improvements, ETC.:
3. incomplete special assessment
records including billings to ben
efiting property owners; 4. in
adequate follow-up of delinquent
receivables for taxes and assess
ments, and follow-up of other
receivables; S. inadequate cost
records for construction prof.
ects."
Also IS. Weak internal con-
troll in handling of revenue from
parking meters and fines and
forfeitures; /. absence of docu-
mentation and accounting for
purchases; 8. no accounting for
appropriation budget; 8. some
accounting documentary evi-
dence has been discarded; 10.
absence generally of internal
policy determinations and in
structions in writing to fix re-
sponsibility, establish authorize
tions and as a guide for exercise
of personnel duties"
The audit showed that general
fund revenues for the year ex-.
ceeded expenditures by $33,-.

Revenue was secured from:
local property taxes, $215, ,25l.i4:
Staate and county shared taxes,

Twenty-nine school children,
who lost their bird a week ago,
have appealed to The Star for
help.
Lucy, a green parakeet, had
been the "class bird" of the Sec
ond grade at the Rock Creek
Forest Elementary School, Grubb
road and Colston drive, Chevy
Chase, Md, for only a few days.
She was not used to the chill
dren yet and had not learned to
talk.
Members of the class are 6
and 7 years old. Two of the
boys opened the bird cage one
morning to clean it. and Lucy
escaped. She flew out an open
window. It was a warm day.
The children have not given
up hope. but they wonder if
Lucy has wandered from the
neighborhood. Their letter coun-
