Dodgers, Tigers
Spoil Guessing
On Both Races
BY the Associated Press

This isn't the way it was sup
posed to be at all. Here's Brook
lyn shooting along at a 900 clip
in the National, the league that
was set for a dogfight. and a
whole pack of tie m S beating
their chests in the American,
where the race was thought to
be cut and dried.
The Dodgers are bowling over
everything in sight, despite SEEM
ing unrest over working condi-
tions (Jackie Robinson didn't
like sitting on the bench, Roy
Campanella was miffed at bat
ting eighth and Don Newcombe
drew suspension yesterday
when he refused to pitch batting
practice).
The Dodgers now have won
18 of 20. sweeping their two
game set with the Cardinals yes
terday. 4-3. The only team to
beat Brooklyn SO far is the Gil
ants. And that's all the Giants
have shown to support their
world championship banner.
1t was only yesterday that the
Giants reached 500 by beating
the Cubs, 6-3. That moved New
York into third place, but still
eight games back of the flying
Dodgers
In the only other MI game,
those surprising Pirates made it
three straight over Milwaukee,
9-4. and pulled off the season S
first triple play to boot.
Tigers Tie for Lead
Only one game was scheduled
in the American and Detroit
won it. beating Boston, 80, to
move into a flrst-place tie with
Cleveland.
That left the Tigers and In
dians a game ahead of Chicago
and n ahead of New York, the
only two teams expected to
wrestle Cleveland for the pen
nant. The Kansas City Athletics,
whose shift from Philadelphia
was figured to be their big move
Of the season, are in fifth, only
three games behind. Even last
place Baltimore is just eight
games back.

Stone Faces Orioles.
Tonight in Opener oi
Long Home Stond
By BURTON HAWKINS

Ihe senator's are keeping
their luggage within reaching
distance as they open a 16-game
home stand tonight against the
Orioles at Griffith Stadium at
8 o'clock. Their bosses are ne
gotiating with four clubs in ef-
forts to make one or more major
trades designed to bolster the
shaky team.
Manager Chuck Dresser,
President Clark Griffith and
Vice President Calvin Griffith
conferred for four hours yester-
day From the meeting came
only official silence in regard to
players involved in prospective
deals. but there was an admis-
sion that four teams are con-
sidering Washington offers or
counter-proposals.
New York, Cleveland, Boston
and Chicago are the likely nego-
tiators. The Yankees are in
terested in Bob Porterfield or
Maury McDermott, the Indians
would like To land Mickey Ver-
non, the Red Sox would welcome
Eddie Yost and the White Sox
have been casting covetous
glances at Roy Sievers. ~
May Match '52 Shakeup
The Senators demands may be
too harsh, leading to sudden
cessation of trade talk, but if
other clubs are in a receptive
mood, the Washington club may
be given its most severe shakeup
since May 3, 1852. On that date
1rv Noren and Tommy Upton
were dispatched to the Yankees
for Spec Shea, Jackie Jensen,
Archie Wilson and Jerry Snyder,
and Sam Mele was traded to the
White Sox for Jim Busby and
Mel Hoderlein.
Washington is in a favorable
position in chats with the
Yankees, who want a starting
pitcher. The Yankees previously
were interested in acquiring
Arnold Portocarrero from Kan
sas City, but the big .righthander
has been~bothered by sore arm
and New York's desire doubtless
has diminished.
Griffith will head for Boston
tonight to- attend a Hall of
Fame banquet and while there
will confer with Joe Cronin,
general manager Of the Red
Sox
Stone Faces ROgovin
Bill Dewitt, assistant general
manager of the Yankees, talked
with Dresser several times when
the Senators were in Chicago
recently. He offered the Sena-
tors a proposition which was re-
layed to the Grifiths by Dresser.
Mired in seventh place, the
Senators will rely on lefthander
Dean Stone to show them the
path to loftier levels in the
opener of a four-game series
with Baltimore tonight. Stone,
still searching for a first VIC
tory, will be opposed by Saul
Rogovin, whose lone win this
season was a 2-1 triumph over
Washington.
Manager Paul Richards of the
Orioles plans to send Jim Wilson
against the Senators tomorrow
night and is expected to employ
Erv Palica and Joe Coleman in
Sundays double header.

Hears Nolen
The Executive Committee
heard John Nolen, director of
planning for the National Capt.
tai Planning Commission, say the
commissions 1850 "comprehen-
sive plan" for the development of
Washington was not detailed
enough for development of new
coming regulations.
Then it adopted a proposal
recommended by Harold M.
Lewis, planning expert hired for
the $4,000, two-year revision
of Washington's coming regula-
lions. The committee unani-
mously agreed that:
1.-THE new coming regulations
shall be based upon an up-to-
date comprehensive plan for the
development of Washington and
that the consultant, within the
limitations of his contract, be
urged to cooperate with all off,
cial agencies in developing such
a plan"
The committee also agreed it
should formulate basic policy"
and review and make recon-
mendationS to the consultant for
new coming regulations and maps
based upon the comprehensive
plan which is. in turn, based
upon basic policy"
A letter from Mr.. Lewis said
he and his staff are prepared
to make recommendations re-
garding the machinery which
must be established for this pdr-
pose"
Argues for Deadline
The consultant warned that
such a plan must be completed
within six to nine months in
order to tell the consultants what
kind of a city the new coming
regulations are designed to pro-
duce.
| Mr.. Nolen explained the COM
mission now is working on a de-
tailed elaboration of the NCPC's
comprehensive PLAN" but that
budget cuts just suffered in Con-
gress may stop the work.
The committee also decided
that results of recent question:
naire sent out by the consultants
were "inconclusive." Out of 100
questionnaires, Mr.. Groom said.
only 80 answers were received.

Bomb Blast Shakes Northwest Area,
Sets Off Wide Hunt to Solve Mystery
Hole, Metal Pieces,
Abandoned Truck
Are Discovered

A bomb explosion in a wooded
area near Garfield street and
New Mexico avenue NV. touched
off a wide police search today
Source of the blast. which
shook houses in the neighbour
hood shortly after midnight, was
not discovered until long after
squads of police had pounded
through so acres Of rough terrain.
The search began almost at
once, for Pvts. R. L. Sieh and
A. j. Ekas, riding in a police
scout car a block away, felt the
blast shake the car.
Not until daylight. however,
did the mystery clear up at all.
A platoon headed by 1t. Joseph
With of the Park Police and
Sergt. ]. J. Trascik Of the Sew
enth Precinct stumbled across
hole feet across and a foot
deep. They also found burned
dynamite fuse.
Pieces Found IS Yards Away
They turned the investigation
over to Sergt. Sheldon r. Nc
Kee, the police bomb expert.
Further investigation disclosed
fragments of a bomb blown IS
yards across New Mexico avenue.
It consisted of a small, twisted
mass of wire and 5 by finch
steel plate.
Also near the scene was found
an illegally parked truck with a
West Virginia license. In the bed
of the truck was box contain
ing two blankets and a sheet.
This is one heck of bomb"
said Sergt. Mckee of the frag-
ments discovered. 1T was high
order defamation, possibly made
of one or two sticks of dynamite.
Strictly homemade stuff"
Sergt. Mckee said the force
of the metal would have killed
anyone. Near the bomb hole wire
was found in sapling five feet
off the ground. Some of the wire
had split an inch-thick limb.
May Have Been Thrown
Sergt. Mckee theorized the
bomb was thrown from New
Mexico avenue, some 20 feet from
the point where it exploded. Why
and by whom was an unsolved
riddle.
The defamation expert found a
mans dirty shirt near the bomb
fragment and decided it had a
place in the mystery. He care
fully wrapped the jagged metal
in the shirt and took it all away
for study.
Sergt Mckee said the piece
of wire had been welded around
the metal to make a compact
and lethal instrument.
Before the bomb hole was dis
covered, dozens Of Metropolitan
and Park Police had trudged
over the scrubby. hilly ground
They used searchlights and were
aided by a crew of five gas COM
pany men.
Finally, the search was aban-
doned until dawn, when 10 po-
licemen resumed the bush-beat-
| ing.

Five Post $500 Bonds
In Case Involving
Nonresident Taxes

Five National Institutes of
Health employees named in tax
indictments by a Montgomery
County grand jury were taken in
custody yesterday and brought
before a county circuit judge.
All District residents charged
with failing to pay a Maryland
nonresident income tax, the
NH workers were taken to Rock
vile where they posted $500 bail
each.
They are Miss Louise Endicott,
Ct, of 1865 Wyoming avenue
NV, head Of the editorial Sec
ton of the Institutes scientific
reports branch; DR.. Elizabeth
Verdar of 1916 New Hampshire
avenue NV. a senior bacteriolo-
gist; John w. Owens. jr.. So. of
1912 Yuma street NV, an in
strument maker; Avery Kerr, IS,
colored, of 1743 Lang place NE,
a physical science aide, and Ned
M. Etherington, 80, of 4013 Davis
place NV, a research tech
nician.
Recommended by Barbee
At the bond hearing, Circuit
Judge Stedman Prescott fixed
the $500 bond on recommended
ton of County States Attorney
Alger Y. Barbee.
They're responsible people, I
wouldn't want them to remain
in custody overnight" the judge
remarked.
Miss Endicott told reporters:
Every year I have written
to the State tax Office saying
that I don't consider my salary
as Maryland income"
tits taxation without repre-
sentation," Mr.. Owens said.
IT just don't think it's con-
stitutional," Mr.. Etherington de-
clared.
Later, A. Colman Barrett,
chief of the Washington branch
of the Maryland Income Tax
Division, said his Office has given
the reluctant taxpayers every
opportunity" to pay up.
Unable to Locate Two.
In all, seven were indicted last
week by the grand jury. The
remaining two were not located
by detectives.
Mr.. Barrett said his Office has
been after the tax DIRECTORS for
months, in some cases years. In
February, he said, the tax divi-
sion under his direction set up
an office for a day at the insti-
tutes and tried to reason with
about 10 or IL" who hadn't paid.
The seven who were indicted
"all refused" either to file a re-
turn or pay the tax, he said.
The official said the indict-
ments are the first ever returned
under the 1887 law requiring
non Maryland residents to file
income tax returns if they are
employed in the State. The pen
atty for failure to comply is a
maximum $500 fine and six
months in Jail.

Prince Georges
Bottle. Club
Bill Passed
Measure Will Go
To McKeIdin After
House OK's Chance
BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN
Star STAFF CORRESPONDENT

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 20. - A
House-approved bill aimed at
barring after-hour bottle club
operations in Prince Georges
County passed the Senate last
night, with only minor technical
amendments.
The changes were expected to
be approved by the House today
and to go on to the Governor.
The bill, introduced by the
unanimous Democratic Prince
Georges delegation, would pro-
hibit the sale or consumption of
liquor in public places or private
clubs between 2 am. and 6 am
daily. Besides providing fines
for operator and waiter, it also
calls for fines of from IS to $50
for patrons.
The Prince Georges delegation
expects the measure to give
county law enforcement officials
the punch needed to close exist
ing bottle clubs, which invaded
the county after a breakdown in
the District of Columbia
The House of Delegates yes
terday also passed another meas
ure to set up a new beer, wine
and liquor license category for
hotels. Another measure before
the House would provide for
only one such license.

former assistant States attorney

former Representative Frank
