Dope Users Act
.JuiIs Man 1870 DAYS

The first person charged with
vagrancy under the Narcotics
Users Act of 1856 yesterday re-
ceived a Jail sentence of 18C
days from Municipal Court
Judge Thomas Scalley.
Richard Brooks, AS, colored
of the 1000 block of First street
NV. received half the maxi
mum sentence allowable under
the law passed by Congress last
July. The maximum penalty
for common vagrancy is 80 days
A medical examination showed
Brooks was not a dope addict
at the time of his arrest on
October Is but had used drugs
in the past.
The vagrancy charge under
the narcotics law, however, was
based on his lack Of a job, his
1858 narcotics violation and his
four associations with five known
dope addicts during October
according to Assistant United
States Attorney Forbes Blair.

MEET THE CANDIDATES
Young Lawyer Bottles
Eastern Shore Veteran
BY GENE GOODWIN
star star Correspondent

EASTON, Md, Oct. 20.-The
eyes of Maryland's Democratic
liberals are focused in this cleo
ton campaign on the Eastern
Shore, where a young States
attorney is trying to unseat Re-
publican Representative Edward
T. Miller.
It's an uphill fight for So
year-old Hamilton P. Fox, jr.,
of Salisbury, Wicomico County
States attorney.
He's up against a man who
hasn't been beaten in a decade
and is now favored to win cleo
ton to his sixth term as the
Representative from Maryland's
1st district.
Mr.. Miller, 61-year-old Easton
lawyer, is something of a polit-
ical phenomenon. being able to
persuade the additionally DEM
ocratic Shore to forgive his Re-
publicanism every two years
since 1916.
Mr.. Miller appears confident
that he will be back in Washing
| ton next January beginning an
other term, but he's having to
work this time and he knows
he's in a fight.
Wages Aggressive Campaign
Mr.. Fox, known by his friends
as Ham," has been waging
probably the most aggressive
and active campaign of any
Democrat in Maryland this year.
Mr.. Miller comedies this when
he sums up his current cam
paign by recalling what Repre-
sentative Devereux said when
asked whether political cam
paignS were anything like his
Marine battle campaigns.
Mr.. Devereux replied that the
big difference was that lin war,
when your enemies are shooting
at you, you know whether or not
you have been hit. but in politi-
cal campaigns you don't find out
until it's too late"
In my case" Mr.. Miller says,
Il know that Ham is shooting
at me, but I don't know whether
he's hitting me or not, so I feel
obliged to keep on the move"
Mr.. Fox, who defeated William
Hill, Easton druggist, in last
springs primary. has been at.
lacking Mr.. Miller as IAN -ex-
IRENE right-wing Republican,
much more right wing than
Eisenhower"
Hits School, Gas Votes
Specifically. he has been hit
ting Mr.. Miller for his votes in
favor of the natural gas bill
against the Federal aid for
school construction bill and
against most REA legislation. He
also has alleged that Mr.. Miller
accepts campaign contributions
from big, out-of-State interests
land votes with the big Hobbies. y
Mr.. Fox is the son of a Meth
odist minister who served three
years in the 1920s as pastor OF
Hamline Methodist Church in
Washington. The candidate. who
has been States Attorney of Wi
comico since 1850. has three sons
ages IL, Z and 3.
Washington also figures in Mr.
Miller'S BACKGROUND. He received

Grading Job Lei
For Parkway

| A Sill million grading contract
for the long-awaited extension
of virginia's George Washington
Memorial parkway from Spout
Run to Chain Bridge has been
awarded by the National Park
Service.
The construction work, to
begin in about two weeks, is the
first step in a 30-month job to
extend the divided parkway to
the site of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency's proposed SAG mil
lion headquarters overlooking
the Potomac at Langley.
Taylor & Keebler, Inc, of
Clinton, Md. was the firm
awarded the $1,161,19 contract
to grade the 2.3-mile extension to
Chain Bridge. The contract also
calls for construction of abut-
'ments for three bridges that will
carry the road over steep ravines.
Job Will Take Yea.
H. ]. Spelman, district engineer
of the Federal Bureal of Public
Roads. whose Office will supervise
the job, said the grading will take
about a year. Actual paving of
the dual roads should get under
way III mid-1958.
BY next January, however, Of
ficials also hope to let contracts
for two further grading jobs to
carry the road-bed from Chain
Bridge to Langley. This time
table. however, will depend on
whether the National Capital
Planning Commission is able to
acquire land parcels in the upper
stretch of the route.
Main Access Route
Completion of the entire job
to Langley is aimed at the spring
of 1859, to mesh with the CHA S
construction of its big new head
quarters. The parkway will serve
as the main access route for CHA
employees.
The parkway, under present
plans, will Overpass the Virginia
end of Chain Bridge without di-
rect connections to it. Any
change in these plans will de-
pend upon studies now under
way by the District Highway
Department on the future of
Chain Bridge.

It's been a tough road back
for Gernert, who broke into
professional baseball in 1850

League.
In SO he played 102 games

and the next year he was in

But two years ago he hit the

cover was infectious hepatitiS-

Gamble Pays as Gernert
Tops Red Sox SIuggers

BOSTON, May 9 (R.-Dick
Gernert, playing an unfamiliar
position and fighting off a return
to the minors, has become the
Red Sox' top Slugger while sub
bling in leftfield for the ailing
Ted Williams.
The 26-year-old Reading, Pa.
Highlander was strictly a first
baseman until spring training
this year.
But veteran Mickey Vernon
arrived in a trade with Wash
ington to add his celebrated
talents to those of Norm zauchin
at first, so Gernert had to do
something to avoid an impending
trip back to the minors from
where he'd been called last Sep
TENDER.
Dick, apparently recovered
from a strength-sapping illness,
asked Manager Mike Higgins to
give him a chance as an out
fielder. Boston had six fine out
fielders but only two of them
were righthanded hitters. That's
where Gernert gambled-and
won.
In the second game of the
season Williams came up with a
painful sore spot on the nStep
of his right foot.
Gernert replaced him in left
and in the ensuing IA games he's
compiled a 343 batting average
and leads the team with five
home runs and IL runs batted in.
After yesterdays performance
Dick can stop worrying about
the May 16 deadline for the Is
player limit. Gernert hit his
fifth homer in the first inning,
set up a run with a third-inning
single and walloped a drive that
sent home the winning run in
the 18th as Boston edged Chi
cago, 4-3.
Gernert also has answered
Higgins prayers for more right
hand power hitting.
I'm still following the theory
that if I'm swinging I might
hit one," Gernert says. Swing,
swing, swing-that's what I'm
doing.
I'm not doing anything much
different from what / used to.
