Murphy Ready to Bor
Transfer Of Ball Club

to make they should submit II
in writing.
Will Present Offers to Board
II have not come to any con-
clusion about the matter my
Iself and will not do so until
all of the facts have beer
presented to me in suitable
form. If any proposition is
submitted in a satisfactory
manner it will be promptly
presented to the board of direc-
tors of the club for their de-
cision.
II am somewhat surprised thai
Mr.. Murphy should state his
opposition to transfer of the
franchise at this time, in view
of the fact that on at least one
occasion. and possibly more fire.
quently, he stated to me how
wonderful it would be If the
franchise could be moved tc
California. In response to thi,
suggestion, I told him I thought
we should make every effort tc
keep the franchise in Washing
ton.
In concluc n, I would like tC
SAY again that I wish to see the
franchise remain in Washington
and I hope it will remain here
regardless of how tempting the
offers made to the club by other
cities may be-"
Harridge States Position
Harridge repeatedly made his
position clear to Griffith last
week. declaring at the time that
the American League never
again would be involved in intra-
club pickering which marked
transfer of the Philadelphia
Athletics to Kansas City two
years ago.
There will be no considera-
ton of transferring the Wash
ington franchise" Harridge re-
Iportedly said, "aS long as there
is internal strife in the organ
Iization."
| Griffith returned to Washing
I ton from the World Series Mon
day to receive written offers
from cities DESTROYS of acquir-
ling the franchise. He intended
he said to call a meeting of the
clubs Board of Directors-ot
which Murphy is a member
to consider the proposals. Grit
fifth says no written offers have
been submitted.
4 Griffith has maintained that
Murphy could not block a trans
fer of the franchise from a legal
standpoint. There is a con-
tlict of opinion in regard to that
aspect.
A majority of the Board OF
Directors may vote to sell the
assets of the corporation, &C
cording to Murphy, but the
proposition must be submitted
to the stockholders. A two
thirds vote among the stock
holders would be necessary for
approval, Murphy says.
Since the club actually would
not be sold, but transferred, a
technically arises. In any
event, Murphy is prepared to
fight the transfer in court, if
necessary, and this seemingly
would assure operation Of the
team here next season. League
approval to transfer a franchise
must be obtained by october 81,
Auditors Examining Books
Murphy revealed that four
auditors have been examining
the clubs books at his expense
for more than a month. II am
in favor of a new, up-to-date
auditing system to control our
farm system from a central
Office in Washington" Murphy
said.
Il requested such action at a

Virginia Special Session
Useless Webb Says

Delegate John C. Webb of
Fairfax charged today that "sev-
Ieral people are using the segre-
CATION issue as springboard to
ride into the governorship."
Mr.. Webb assailed as useless
a special session that Gov. STAN
ley said yesterday will be con-
vened within 80 days to act on
school segregation problems.
Attorney General j. Lindsay
Almond. jr.. and House Speaker
E. Blackburn Moore, both men
toned as possible candidates
for Governor next year, have
been feuding over how the State
should meet the indignation
issue.
Mr.. Webb's views differed
sharply from those of some other
nearby legislators, however.
Others Favor Gray Plan
The Gray plan is favored by
four General Assembly members
from this area, including State
Senator Charles r. Fenwick and
Delegate Harrison Mann of Ar
Ilington. who are members of the
Gray Commission. Other legisla-
tors indicated in interviews to-
day that they would favor a
local option plan on variation
of the Gray plan.
Their views and those of other
State leaders forecast a lively
fight in the Forthcoming special
session.
Mr.. Webb said, 81 never liked
the Gray plan from the begin
ming. I don't like it any better
now. Virginia is at the end of its
legal rope, or will be after court
action Virginia must comply
with the Supreme Court decision.
Hirst Airs Views
Mr.. Webb's fellow delegate
from Fairfax, Omer L. Hirst
said he would bitterly oppose
those measures which encourage
the closing of public schools in
any part of the State" He said
he would limit tuition grants

which continue to operate pub

The commission on Monday
recommended the calling of a
special session. Its proposal for
tuition grants and a pupil as
signment system to sidestep
segregation drew no action from
the regular General Assembly
session last winter. Since that
time suits have been filed in
five Virginia jurisdictions by the
NAACP charging that the SUI
preme Court decision is not
being carried out.

Miss Armies
Will Upheld


An Alexandria Corporation
Court jury yesterday upheld
validity of the last will of Mrs.
Annie Kramer Dunbar - Miss
Annie - who died in 1854 leav-
ing her $4,000 estate to the
trustees of Christ Episcopal
Church in Alexandria.
Eight relatives-two brothers,
four nieces and two nephews--
contested the will on grounds
that Mrs. Dunbar. who took up
roller-skating and dancing at
the age of IS, was "unduly in
f1uenced" and mentally incom-
petent" when she signed the will
in March. 1854. about three
months before her death.
Two previous wills were signed
in 1853 by Mrs. Dunbar. who was
70 when she died, left the bulk
of her estate to the Shriners'
Crippled Children's Hospital.
High Diver in Cos
Denis r. Ayres. attorney for
Mrs. Dunbar's relatives, also pro-
tested the two previous wills, in
which, however, one of the de-
ceased's sisters is given a 81 900
bequest.
He said Mrs. Dunbar. besides
roller-skating and dancing in her
sixties. also took up bicycle-rid-
ing, swimming, horseback riding
and high diving.
Testimony was introduced dur
ing the two-day will hearing that
Mrs. Dunbar quarreled with
Christ Church officials over water
in her basement that she claimed
came from church rain cutters.
Harry Kramer, 81, of Travellers
Rest, S. c., one of Mrs. Dunbar's
brothers, years ago was noted
trick bicycle rider for circuses.
Visits by Clergy Claimed
Mrs. Kramer's relatives claimed
she was visited frequently by
clergymen during the several
months she was hospitalized by
her last illness-cancer
Court records listed Mrs. Dun
bars total estate at $45, 691. in
Guiding an apartment dwelling
at 119 North Columbus street,
Alexandria, appraised at $26, 900
Her personal property included
an "old Ford V8 coupe" valued
at 500.
Attorneys said the market
value of Mrs. Dunbar's real es-
tate would probably increase the
real value of the estate to $70,-
600.

denied the undue influence
claim, were represented by At

Ravensworth Farm on Brad

was believed to be the likely
choice of the council, but
several members planned to hold
out for other locations.
