THE ALEXANDRIA, n,

THE ALEXANDRIA man is
sure that the heat caused his
duel with the Doberman pin
Scher.
He had moved his bed into
the living room downstairs to
escape the heat. He was
struggling to raise a window
when the Doberman, outside,
saw him and, obviously con-
fused by the heat. thought
someone was on the outside
trying to break in. The dog
lunged at the window, now
open far enough to admit the
animals head and one paw.
Our Alexandria frien d
grabbed an old Navy sword
from the wall and Tended off
the Doberman until its mas
ter could retrieve it by the
collar. He says he wasn't mad
at the dog, despite the fright
it gave him. He just pointed
to the thermometer and said:
Real dog days"

Senators Study
bill on zoninq
|0fGasStdtions
Citizens, City Heads
Oppose Rebuilding
In Residential Area

Controversy over House-passed
legislation to authorize recon-
struction of a gasoline filling
station at Massachusetts and
Wisconsin avenues NV. resumed
before a Senate District subcom-
mittee today.
The measure was strongly OPP
posed, as it had been during
House hearings, by Spokesman
for the District Commissioners,
the zoning Commission, Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations and
neighborhood citizens groups.
The bill was urged by spokes-
men for the American Oil Co.,
owner Of the station, and SpokeS-
men for the Georgetown BUSH
neSSmen'S Association.
Added to the House measure
on amendment by Senator
Hruska, Republican of Nebras-
ka, was another filling station
located at 4027 Sixteenth street
INV. and owned by the Sin
clair Refining Co.
Subcommittee Chairman Beall,
Republican of Maryland, re-
cessed the hearing for lunch to
resume at 2:30 pm. At that
time the subcommittee was to
complete hearings on the filling
station bill and take up several
other measures for public hear
ing.
Senator Allott. Republican of
Colorado. was critical of the bill,
which would authorize the Com
Imissioners to permit reconstruc-
ton of the property.
Opponents commended the fill
ing station was a non-conform-
ing use by a business in a resi-
Dental area. Stress also was laid
on the argument that the sta
ton was out of character with
the National Cathedral and
structures on the Cathedral
grounds.
Proponents of the measure in
sisted the businesses had right
to continue operation even as a
non-conforming use and would
pay increased taxes to the Dis
trict Government when recondi-
toned and improved.

BY GEORGE KENNEDY

You never can tell what is going
to happen in politics or baseball.
The Republicans were just as
sure that they were going to win
the annual congressional ball
game at Griffith Stadium last
night as they are about winning
on the first Tuesday of November
this year-if Eisenhower runs.
And they finally did. 8 to Z.
Everything figured for an easy
victory. They had beaten the
Dems IL to in an exhibition
(unofficiaD game during their
southern training trip in Florida.
Last year they beat them IL to A.
The game is played for The Eve
ming Star Summer Camp Fund.
And there was little confidence
on the Democratic side. Before
the game this reporter asked sgd
Herlong of Florida, manager of
the Democrats, what he thought
Ibis chances were. He said:
do you want it on the record"
he asked, cor do you want to
know what / really Think"
Victory Sure-AlmOst
And the Republicans had every
reason to believe that they had
the game won in the first half Of
the fifth. That's the final inning
of the congressional game.
The Democrats we're at bat in
the first half of the inning. The
score was Z to in the Republic
cans favor. The Democrats had
a man on third but there were
two outs.
Smiling Glenn Davis of Wis
consin. who had allowed the
Democrats only one hit, was
pitching. Davis is the man who
will run against Senator Wiley
for the Republican nomination
to the Upper House in the Sep
TENDER primaries. If he cam
lpaigns as we'll as he plays base
ball, the Senator has a dangerous
opponent.
The man on third was Stewart
Udall of Arizona, a substitute
pitcher who had been keeping
the Republicans from increasing
their lead with an unbelievable
blooper ball. 1t was so slow that
IL crossed the plate after the Re-
publican stalwarts had strained
their backs swinging at it.
He got on base by bunting to
the right Of Davis and Davis
bobbled the ball. 1t didn't seem

so important at the time but
that error brought the Republic
can team to the brink of disaster.
Had Davis managed to grab
the ball and make the simple
throw to first, it would have been
two outs. And as Fountain Of
North Carolina, the next man
up. popped a fly to the first
baseman. the game would have
been over.
But because Of the error,
Fountains fly made it two outs
and in the meantime Udall had
stolen second and third. The
Democrats found it easy to steal
bases. They stole eight alto
gether.
Then Davis walked Sisk of
California, who promptly stole
second. Macdonald of Mas
sachusetts, the next man up, hit
into right field. bringing in
Udall and Sisk. The score was
now z to 3, with a man on
second.
One Out Needed
The Republicans weren't too
worried. They needed only one
out to finish the game.
But Frank Clark of Pennsyl-
vailia hit the ball into right field,
bringing in the runner on Sec
ond. Mccarthy Of Minnesota
Chats right, Minnesota, not
Wisconsin, grounded to third
and beat the throw. Hughey
Addonizio, who once played for
Fordham, hit the ball into left
center field. bringing in Clark
from second and sending Nc
Carthy to third.
The Republicans were getting
worried. The score was now 7
to 5 with runners on second and
third. Then came the play that
brought everyone to his feet.
Olin Tiger" league Of Texas
tapped a short bouncer in front
Of the plate. Davis came in
fast, grabbed it and tipped it
to Curtis Of Missouri, who was
catching.
Curtis stepped forward to
catch the ball and just as he
did Mccarthy, who was sprint
ing in from third, hit him. The
ball went over Curtis shoulder
as he fell to the ground and
rolled around in pain. In the
melee Addonizio kept going past
third and followed Mccarthy
across the plate tying the score.

The fan-a 42-inch job
was set on the edge of the
corral fence and directed
toward a Straw-covered shell

Nothing's Normal
When It's o0-PIus
By JACK JONAS

The plus-9O heat got to
nearly everybody last week.
The foreman on a Pepco
under the street job at
Eleventh street and New York
avenue was wearing-at Q
o'clock in the morning - his
white sun helmet.
A young lady in a down
town office building sat on the
steps in a warm stair well
much of the day reading, be-
cause she didn't like the air
conditioning in her Office.
She had lost her battle with
the men to have it turned
down.
The fountain in front of
the National Gallery of Art
took on the appearance of a
bubble bath, brought on by a
combination of one urchin
and one box of soap powder.
A man sat disconSolately in
front of a discount house. His
chair was a Grated window
fan. He alternately wiped
perspiration from his face
and peered petulantly at his
wrist watch, impatient for
whatever transportation he
had arranged for to pick him
up so he could go home and
put the fan to work.

Hartman also said he does not
