There has been almost a rash
OF chamber operas written and
published in this country in the
last few years. We hope this Is
an indication Of a steady and
healthy increase in q form that
has been the lifeblood Of musi-
cal-Europe for many years.
Some of the productions have
been by polished groups Of pro-
fessionals, performing long runs
in big cities and long tours
through small towns. A really
healthier trend, though. have
been the hundreds Of produc-
tions among school, community
and church groups.
OF course, some Of these shows
are embarrassingly amateur and
shabby, but others are done ex-
pertly enough to be a source
Of real entertainment and fun
to those that 60 to hear their

Under Stephen Prussing's d.
rection last night, a group OF
the singers of New York Avenue

formances OF two little operas
with enough style TO class them
as amateurs Of unusually high
order.
Neither score is particularly
distinguished musically, although
each makes the most Of simple
means.

The soloist of the evening was
Alec Templeton, who has ap-

virtuoso piece with only one
theme but with tens Of thousands
Of notes. After intermission he

Final Vote Due Today
On Measure 10 Ban
D. {. Loan Branches
By Gene Goodwin
Sfar SteH Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 23.-The
Maryland House of Delegates
was expected today to send Gov.
McKeldin q bill aimed at block
ing District building and loan
associations from establishing
new branch Offices in Maryland.
The measure prohibiting any
new branches Of foreign" build
ing and loan associations in
Maryland after June / was APP
proved last night by the Senate,
"a to 4.
The bill, which was introduced
by Delegate Warren Browning,
Dem ocrat, Of Montgomery
County. passed the House last
month, but had to go back there
today for concurrence in a SEN
ate amendment. The change
would allow existing branches of
out-of State associations to move
to new locations within / mile
and in the same county.
Redden Objects
The only objection to the bill
in the Senate was raised by Sen
ator Layman j. Redden. Demo-
crat. of Caroline County.
On the roll call, Senator Red
den found support from only
three other Senators-Mary l..
Mock, Democrat, of Wicomico;
John r. Jewell. Democrat, of
Kent, and Anthony F. Didomen-
leo, Democrat, of Baltimore City.
The bill was supported in the
House and Senate hearings here
by former Representative Lans-
dale G. Sasscer of Upper MARI
boro, representing Montgomery
and Prince Georges building and
loan associations. He argued
that Virginia has barred foreign
branches since 1916. The bill
would not prevent District asso-
Citations from continuing to make
mortgage loans in Maryland. its

Vote Reassesment Speedup.
In another action, the Senate
yesterday voted, Is to IL. to
send the Governor a bill to be-
gin annual property assessments
this year, instead of waiting
until 1856, as the present law
states. The upper chamber has
been putting off a vote on this
bill for about six weeks because
of delaying tactics by a dozen
opposing Senators, including
Senator H. Winship Wheatley,
jr., Democrat. of Prince Georges.

DR.. Harry ]. Haynes, Airing
ton psychiatrist, today won the
first round of court battles he
faces by beating down. two in
dictments.
One was nolle pressed and the
other dismissed on motion OF
defense attorney T. Brooke
Howard. Both charges accused
DR.. Haynes of practicing medi-
cine in Arlington without a Ii
cense.
In Arlington DR.. Haynes still
must stand trial on a felony
charge accusing him Of hiding
mentally disturbed Marvin Kit
ayewitz, in his fashionable North
Arlington home.
In Alexandria Federal Court
he must stand trial on indict-
ments charging him, along with
his wife and two associates. OF
using interstate telegraph wires
to obtain money by fraud.
Today's hearing on the charges
of practicing without license
were conducted by County Court
Judge Hugh Cregger.
The first count accused DR..
Haynes of violating a State law
requiring him to have a license
to practice medicine.
It was dismissed because Of a
typographical error In the war
rant.
The Judge said the State could
draw a new warrant and Com
monwealth's Attorney William j.
Hassan said he expects to do so.
The other charge said DR..
Haynes was practicing illegally
on January 20 because he had
failed to obtain an Arlington
business license.
AS the Commonwealth pre-
pared to have Mrs. Samuel Kit
ayewitz, mother of the youth who
was a patient of the doctor. and
a number of other witnesses
testify. Judge Cregger said that
even if the Commonwealth
proved what it alleged in the
indictment, he would be unable
to find DR.. Haynes guilty of the
violation.
The judge said the ordinance
! provides that the 1855 license
must be obtained by January 81
Ill days after the date in the
| indictment.

GA Building Plan
Opposed in Vote by
Langley Residents

BY a 4-3 margin, residents of
the Langley-M Mclean area in Vir-
ginia last night voted to fight
the Central Intelligence Agency's
proposed $38 million headquar-
tiers on Federal land at Langley.
Opposition was registered by
members of the Mclean Citi-
zens' Association in two ballots:
los to 70 and 105 to 80. More
than $50 residents turned out at
a special meeting in the Frank
lin Sherman School, Mclean.
Main arguments raised by the
opponents hinged on the project
bringing a sharp population in
crease, breaking down Langley's
rural residential character" and
boosting taxpayer costs to- pro-
vide additional public facilities.
Noting these factors, Charles
&c. Robinson, director of the
Northern Virginia Regional
Planning Commission and an in
vited speaker, set off the debate
by estimating the CHA setup
would bring 10000 to $4,000 new
residents to the community.
Mr.. Robinson explained the
estimate did not refer directly
to CHA personnel and their FAM
lilies. Some already live in Vir-
ginia. Others wouldn't move
there in any case. The $4,000,
he said, also includes new mer-
chants and other Service peo-
pie" which experience elsewhere
shows would be attracted by
such an installation.

The l34th State Legislature ad-

today after a marathon l3-hour
meeting in which 1t sustained
Gov. Lane Dwinell's unexpected
veto of a controversial bill that
would have established the Ma
tons only State operated
sweepstakes.
The Governor said the bill
designed to raise an estimated
81 million a year in State rev.
enue. was contrary to the best
interests Of this State"
The veto-flrst and only such
action by the Governor since
he took Office last January-fol-
lowed protests by church leaders
and others that the bill raised
a moral issue affecting the good
name of the State, the cause of
religion and the welfare of all
our people"
Supporters OF the sweepstake
plan had contended the State
needs the money and that It
would help wipe out illegal
gambling.
The Republican Governor, who
earlier in the week had indi-
Gated that he would sign the
measure. said in his veto mes
sage: "A re-examination and an.

Subversive Listing Asked
On Rosenberg Committee

Attorney General Brownell
will be asked to list the National
Committee to Secure Justice in
the Rosenberg Case as a SUBJ
versive organization. Represen-
tative Walter, Democrat Of
Pennsylvania, said today.
Mr. Walter announced his plan
after the Un-American Activ-
tiles Committee. which he heads,
ended four days Of hearings on
the Communists role in the
campaign to save the lives of
atomic spies Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg, who we're executed
in June. 1853.
The listing would not effect
the now disbanded committee.
But 1t would hinder Govern
ment employment of those who
were connected with 1t.
The House committee quizzed
81 witnesses about Communist
activity in behalf Of the Ros-
enbergs.
At least two more witnesses
are to be heard on q date to be
scheduled later. They are Joseph
Brainin. identified by the COM
mittee as the chairman of the
National Committee to Secure
Justice in the Rosenberg Case,
and Mrs. Sue Koritz, chairman
of the Boston Committee. Both
have been subpoenaed for this
week but presented doctors cer-
tif1cates stating their health
would not now permit ques-
tioning.
Mr. Walter left little doubt
that he believes that Communists
directed most of the committees
set up to seek "clemency" and
Justice" for Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg, who were executed
as atomic spies IN June, 1858.
Name one officer OF the ma
tional committee who is not a

Police Fail to Solve
Missing Woman Mystery

KANSAS CITY. Aug. 6 tR.-
A widespread search for a
wealthy automobile dealers
missing wife, feared kidnapped
and slain, had failed to turn up
any productive leads early today.
The blood-spattered clothing
and car of Mrs. Wilma Allen,
"a. mother Of two, were the only
clues.
Mrs. Allen. who always eau
toned her two young sons to
scream If any strange persons
attempted to enter their motor
car. was last seen early Thurs
day afternoon during a shopping
trip.
Her husband. president Of one
of Kansas City'S larger automo-
bile agencies, said IF anybody
"a stranger-tried to force entry
into her car. I'm sure she would
have screamed and put up a
severe struggle"
MFR. Allen told friends he had
almost given UP hope of seeing
his wife alive and does not be-
lieve she is a victim of a kinap
plot for ransom.
Report Discounted
Maj. Eugene Pond, chief Of
detectives, said a report that two
men were seen dragging a wom-
an across road at a lake where
the Aliens maintain a summer
home was discounted as having
any bearing on the case.
Maj. Pond said that. judging
from the condition of Mrs.
Aliens blood stained clothing
found stuffed in the trunk of
her abandoned car, the garments
had not been dragged on the
ground.
Her car was found early yes
terday in a parking area near the
Union Station here. Mai. Pond
said blood found in and on the
car was believed about three to
six hours old.
About SO miles were registered
