Judge Pine
Refuses Test
For Williams

Federal Judge David A. Pine
today refused to grant a men,
tai examination of Dallas o.
Williams by District Courts
legal psychiatric service.
The Judge acted at a District
Court hearing after Assistant
Corporation Counsel Andrew G.
Conlyn argued the court did
not have Jurisdiction to order
the examination.
However, Judge Pine still
will consider next Wednesday
a claim by Williams attorney,
Richard Arens, that his client
should not have been COM
mitted to st. Elizabeths Hos
pital last month by Municipal
Court Judge Thomas C.. Seal
ley.
Seeking to free williams
from the hospital, Mr.. Arens
said his client was sent there
merely on the basis Of a finding
of unsoundness of mind by a
District General Hospital psy-
chiatriSt.
Mr.. Arens maintains that
finding Of incompetency to
stand trial also should have
been used as a basis for the
commitment. He therefore
asked for the mental examina-
ton by DR.. Thomas E. Griffin
of the legal psychiatric service.
Judge Pine. however, said
that any such request should
be raised in Municipal Court
on the issue of an examination
to determine Williams COM
potency.

that he had the eagle eye,
that he could hit any pitcher
at will.
He took this up with the
manager of the Senators.

field. I can't even run
bases. But I have the eagle
eye. I can hit the ball any
time I want to.
Il won't always hit it. I
wouldn't want to give my
secret away. I'd be ruled
out of the league. Sometimes

pop out. That will be inten-
tional. But when you really
need a hit I'll get you one,
and If the bases are loaded
and you need four runs, I'll
hit it over the fence for you"
This revery was broken by
a congregational shout of
dismay in the first inning.
Jackie Jensen, the Red Sox
rightfielder, had hit a grand
slam home run-with the
bases loaded, that is.
The Senators tied in the
middle of the game, but the
Red Sox pulled ahead and
the game ended 9 to s.

B. M. Perks Dies of Pistol Shot;
Suspect Held by County Police

WINGATE. Nd, May IL
(SpeciaD An argument over
an l8-foot sailboat he was
building was blamed today for
the fatal shooting Of Bronza
M. Parks. noted for many years
as one Of the Eastern Shores
finest and most popular boat
builders.
Arrested at the Parks shops
here shortly after the shooting
at 6:l0 pm. yesterday was
Willis c. Rowe. 38, Of 2310
Blueridge avenue, Wheaton.
Dorchester County Sheriff
David F. Bradshaw said he
found Rowe on the scene with
q pistol and quickly whisked
him away to the county jail at
Cambridge in Talbot County
because he feared trouble from
a crowd Of $50 angry residents
who had gathered here.
A Democratic candidate for
county commissioner, Mr.. Parks
had been campaigning earlier
yesterday in the upper end Of
the county. His favorite me-
dium was the playing Of hymns
over a loudspeaker mounted on
his automobile.
Peace Campaign
IT want peace around this
county and I thought hymns
would put them in a happy,
peaceful frame of mind" Mr..
Parks said.
Sheriff Bradshaw said the
shooting was over an l8-foot
skipjack Mr.. Parks was building
for Rowe, a District native en-
ployed as a researcher for the
magazine U. S. News and World
Report.
Rowe, charged with murder,
believed he was being over
charged for the job and solic-
tied the assistance of another
boatbuilder, James Richardson
of nearby Lloyds, to settle the
dispute.
Mr.. Richardson declined to
agree to testify in Rowe's be-
half if he took the matter to
court, but said he would dis
cuss the situation with Mr..
| Parks.
At the Parks shop. Mr..
Richardson suggested that
Rowe pay for as much work as
Mr.. Parks had done, and take
the boat elsewhere for COM
pletion. This apparently was
agreeable to Rowe, who told
Mr.. Richardson to wait in the
car while he talked to Mr..
Parks alone in his shop.
Mr.. Richardson told Sheriff
Bradshaw he soon heard three
shots, and ran into the shop to
find Mr.. Parks dead and Rowe
standing over him with a gun.
Later the sheriff took a 80 cal
iber pistol from Rowe, he said.

Zso ESQ Here, Scorns Criticism
Of Gifts From TruiiIIo' Son
BY JOHN BARRON

Movie Star Zsa Zsa Gabor
breezed into town today with
CHEEKY scorn for those who
have denounced gifts to her by
1t. Gen. Rafael Trujillo OF the
Dominican Republic.
Asked about congressional
suggestions that the United
States give aid directly to her
rather than funneling it
through the Dominican Re-
public, the irrepressible blond
said:
well, that wouldn't be a
bad idea. Dey could geeve me
the whole country If they want"
Miss Gabor declared that in
Washington she was going ito
look up that Congressman who
has been saying all those nasty
things about the Dominican
Republic"
What is she going to say to
him?
First I must see If he is
young and handsome" she
said. Miss Gabor thought that
the controversy aroused by re-
ports that she received a $l7,-
900 chincilla coat and a $500
automobile from the son Of the
Latin American strongman is
entirely uncalled for.
Holding court at National
Airport after her arrival from
New York, Miss Gabor also
made a few select observations
about the chemise dress.
1T Is all right for little
American girls who have no
hips or womanly curves. But
| it is just for kids. It's already
finished in Paris" she said.
"Of course you can be
charming without curves. But

them," she added with a smile.

WHILE THE BATTERY for
the evening (Ramos and
Courtney warmed up. the
Rambler fell to musing on
what had brought him there.
1t was not the mildness Of
the twilight hour. 1t was
not that he should be home
cutting the grass and was
enjoying a feeling of play
ing hooky. 1t was television
that had renewed his en-
thusiasm for the crack of
the bat, and there was no
doubt about it.
But do the telecasters have
any idea what their projec-
tion of the excitement of
contests does to a sensitive,
imaginative and creative
personality?
There is a Swiss philosopher
named Max Picard, who has
an idea that schizophrenia
is largely a 20th-century
disease; that the mind of
modern man is called upon
to give attention to too many
things - newspaper reports
of troubles on other con-
tinents, pictures in maga-
zines of skiing on far-off
mountains, etc. He reached
his conclusion without even
taking into consideration
what the radio and tele-
vision are doing to the mind
of modern man.
It's this "You Are There"
technique that is making in
roads on the psycho-the
Rambler's at any rate. From
watching the game over the
umpire'S shoulder it's only a
short step forward to be
standing at the plate, bat
In hand.

FIRE EQUIPMENT
DEFENSE AGAINST
INSURANCE COSTS
Communities Driven to Create
Fire Department; Increased
Insurance Rates Sought

The Outer Banks of this Walter
Raleigh Coastland is now faced
with grave situation, wherein it
lis proposed to double insurance
rates for windstorm, or extended
coverage, while at the same time
sharply reducing the liability of
the insurance companies by raising
the deductible from $50 to $500.
This, alone will operate against
the small property owner whose
loss from windstorm is usually
under 500. 1t again doubles the
cost of his already doubled insur-
ance.
The coastland is already labor
ing under increased fire insurance
rates which went into effect this
year, the order of things being for
raises everywhere, it seems not
unreasonable to expect further
demands by the insurers for in
creased rates on fire insurance.
The solution now appears to
have been found in some sections
which have organized fire depart
ments which have brought about
reduced rates in fire insurance
which saves many times the
amount of tax paid for the support
of the fire department. 1t looks
like the time has come for COM
munities of the Outer Banks,
where possible, to band together
for this same purpose, and study
of the situation is hereby recon-
mended.
The seriousness of the situation
is not readily noted until after
one has made a careful study of
what will follow. The increasing
difficulty of buying insurance will
continue to discourage and drive
away investors. The high cost of
insurance will prevent people of
limited means from building or
repairing homes, or starting in
business. Other home owners will
not be able to carry insurance at
all, and may thereby be the more
destitute in event of a fire loss.
The loss in income to workmen,
to tradesmen, and the local econo-
my as whole, by reason of the
slow-up of investments may be
disastrous indeed.
In rural Nash County, we are
informed that fire insurance rates
have been reduced in three COM
munities which have established
fire departments, and the savings
represent two fifths or a reduc-
ton of 40 per cent. This has been
done by the establishment of fire
districts, and the purchase of
equipment to meet state standards.
A review of the insurance sit
uation on the Outer Banks of
Dare, Hyde and Currituck, among
others indicates they will be fur
Their heavily penalized if the addi-
tional rate increase now sought by
insurance companies is granted.
Our coastland is made to pay
heavily for the losses sustained in
other areas as result of hurri-
canes which did no damage to our
