Senate Cloakroom
BY J. GLENN BEALL
United States Senator from
Maryland

In these sWeltering days of July
perhaps a bit of light history might
make interesting reading.
One of my favoritc historical
sights is Fort Frederick in Wash
ington county.
OF all the many forts built during
the French and Indian War period
1755-1763) from the Canadian Dor
der into Virginia, Fort Frederick
survives as an original example
Near Indian Springs on a spur
of the North Mountain of the Allie
gheny Range, this formidable forti-
fication lies 100 feet above the Po-
tomac. At its base shimmcrs a body
of water known since canaling days
as Big Pool To the north, just
over three miles away, modern
traffic races by on the much
Travelled Route 40, long famous as
the National Road to the West.
Fort Frederick, named in honor
of Frederick, the last Lord Balti-
more, was built in 1756, close upon
the heels of Braddock's defeat be-
fore Fort Duqucsne, now Pitts
burgh.
Statistics pertaining TO the Fort
arc impressive About $50 men
under the personal direction of
Governor Horatio Sharpe erected
17-foot-high walls, measuring four
feet thick at the base and two feet
thick at the top. These mighty
ramparts. made of native sand
stons, inclosed an approximate
e acres of land, exclusive of the
projecting bastions or redoubts.
The general shape of the Fort was
rectangular, the bastions projecting
like spcarheads beyond the four
corners. These areas, earth-filled,
each supported "siX-pounder"
which, on occasion roared above
the massive walls Each hinge on
its double doors weighed AZ pounds.
AS soon as exterior specifications
had been met, barracks were
erected within the Enclosure, pos
sibly in time to house the 200 men
who were CHARTERED there under
Colonel John Dagworthy These
troops had been stationed at Fort
Cumberland, the Fort which had
been found to be too far removed
from the frontier settlements to be

a Los Angeles auto dealer In an
oil deal.
He allegedly used one victim
check. on which payment was
later stopped, to obtain jewelry
worth $4,000 to give to Actress
Linda Christian, former wife of
Actor Tyrone Power.
When Schlesinger's check
turned out to be worthless. the
Ijewelry firm of Van Cleef g.
Arpels tried to get money or the
jewels from Miss Christian.
At first she objected, claiming
the jewels belonged to her as a
gift. but she later returned them.
Lawyers said Van Cleef & Arpels
paid an "undisclosed sum" for
her inconvenience.
Since his indictment last June
II. Schlesinger, who maintains
homes in New York and Mil
waukee. was traced by police
through these cities and coun-
tries:
Chicago. Miami. Bogota, CO.
lombia; Lima. Peru; Santiago,
Chile; Buenos Aires, Argentina;
Lisbon, Portugal; Genao. Italy,
and Halifax. Montreal, Toronto,
Hamilton and New Brunswick,
Canada.
Mr.. Hogan said his men finally
found Schlesinger working for
an airline in remote Frobisher,
Saskatchewan. and followed him
to Montreal before confronting
him. His voluntary return to
New York eliminated the need
for involved extradition proceed
ings with Canada.
Schlesinger is accused of
swindling Richard and John M.
Herzfeld, owners of the Boston
Department Store in Milwaukee,
and Robert B. McCulloch Of Los
Angeles.
The Herzfelds allegedly lost
$4,000 each and Mr.. McCulloch,
100000. Mr.. McCulloch also
gave Schlesinger a second check
for $150,000. Mr.. Hogan said, but
then stopped payment after he
became suspicious. It was this
check that allegedly brought on
difficulties over Miss Christians
jewelry.
Mr.. Hogan said Schlesinger
worked his alleged swindle by
speaking Of an oil stock deal as
so promising that his mother.
who already had half a million
dollars in it, was going to add
another half million to her in
