Senators Play
Redskins and
Yanks Tonight
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star stan Writer

The Senators, who haven't
distinguished themselves at
baseball this year. will try their
football technique tonight at
Griffith Stadium against the
Redskins, who are searching
for somebody to beat-if only
in a Commute touch contest
There also will be the stand
ard baseball game between the
Yankees and Senators starting
at 8 o'clock, but for an hour
prior to that the accent will be
strictly on fun.
Since brutal blocking could
main the Senators, unaccus-
toned to physical poundings,
there will be a minimum of body
contact in the touch game
starting at 7 O'Clock.
There also will be compe-
tition between the Capitals
major sports team in punting,
throwing for accuracy and bat
ting. Harmon Killebrew, Bob
Allison, Chuck Stobbs and
Coach Ellis Clary will represent
the Senators in the punting
duel. with Sam Baker, Eagle
Day. Chuck Drazenovich, Bill
Anderson and Eddie LeBaron
putting their best foot forward
for the Redskins.
After the show portion of the
program is ended the Senators
and Yankees will struggle to
achieve modest ambitions. The
Yankees, who will send Art
Ditmar to the mound, are at
tempting to avoid skid below
third place. The Senators, with
Pedro Ramos firing. still are
concerned about getting out OF
the cellar. They're a half-game
back Of the seventh-place Ath-
letics.
The Senators home season
will end tomorrow night and a
relaxed atmosphere again will
prevail. The Senator's will give
away hundreds of presents,
some zany and useless, some
valuable.

Sa,OmiH Operator
To Escape Charge

A fire code violation charge
against a Virginia sawmill oper-

James S. McAuliffe, jr., dep.

case against Harry L. Nichols,
jr., of Stafford, Va, was placed
on the "stet" docket Tuesday.
The charge thus will be auto
matically dropped in one year
unless prosecution is renewed
before that time.
Nichols operated his mill last
winter, apparently in violation
Of the county Zoning code, on a
tract owned by the wife and
brother.in-law of J. Newton
Brewer, chairman Of the Coun-

Nichols was charged only with

New School
Urged for
DickersOn

A new half-million dollar
school for the Dickerson-
GAINESVILLE area has been
proposed to replace the old
Dickerson Elementary
School that burned down
earlier this month.
The new 11-classroom facility
also would eliminate the neces-
sity for a large addition to Tay.
lor School, School Palmer Les
ter J. WEIGH told the school
board this week.
Welch's suggestions were
taken under consideration by
the board.
They call for the Taylor addi.
ton, originally planned for
seven classrooms and other ia
cilities at a cost of about
1882 300, to be reduced to two
classrooms at a cost of about
$4,000.
The new Dickerson-Barnes-
Vile school would be located
farther TO the east than the old
fOur-rOOm DickersOn structure.
School district lines In the Tay.
Tor, DickersOn and GAINESVILLE
areas would be altered accord
ingly.
Total cost Of the new school
and Taylor addition would be
$4,000, which would require
an additional appropriation of
about $156,000 above the money
already budgeted for the origi.
nal Taylor expansion proposal,
WEIGH said.
The cost could be reduced
about $4,000 by making certain
cuts, WEIGH said, but these would
bring the two schools below
standards recommended by a
special desegregation commit
tee that has recommended
smaller up-county class sizes un.

is:
The issue arose when Board

statement for the board record
that a high official:
. Asked the board for a pri-
vate discussion of the case.
o Urged that the case be
heard ahead of its turn on the
calendar.
. Persisted in his urgings
even after being reminded that
private discussions of pending
cases are against board rules.
Q Said he would like to see
the exception granted"
On April z, Reese, accompa-
MED by County Attorney Alfred
Carter, appeared before the
Board of Appeals and asked for
a private conference with the
members.
He wanted to explain a
"fluke" situation that had arisen
in connection with the building
by Potomac Electric Power Co.

Jackson was released from
Jail May 18 after serving time

Shortly after his release, the
warden continued, Jackson saw
his wife on the street and at.

$2O5,OOO
Golf Links
Deal OK'd

The final stamp Of approx
al for the expenditure of
$205, 900 to buy land and
build an 18-hole golf course
on Great Falls rd., Rockville,
came Tuesday when the
County Council authorized
the County Attorney to ac-
quire the land from its
owners, William Collins and
Helen Harris.
The Council-passed resolution
directed that the land be bought
after July l and before October

Revenue Authority which will
turn the facility back to the
county after paying off pur-
chase bonds.
The course site Is relatively
treeless and is bisected by a
small stream, Kilgour Branch.
Authorities agree tkat abovt
two years are required to get a
golf course in tip-top playing
condition. A large house on the
property probably will be used
as clubhouse and golf shack
for the time being, according to
Revenue Authority spokesman.
Golfers in Silver Spring will
spend % minutes driving to the
course while Bethesdans will
spend 10 minutes less. The new
course will be only six minutes
from the heart of Rockville.
Real estate broker who
handled the transaction was
former County Councilman
Charles H. Jamison, of Pooles-
vile.

restraint, however, he managed
to shred a pillow case on bunk
nearby, tie a loop around his
neck and tie the other end to the
cell bars. Checking the cell
again, Young discovered Jack
son almost unsconcious and had
to cut the moose with a knife.
Jackson was sent to Crowns

was called. Olson was sent to
Cedarcroft for observation.
Young said that Olson was be.

Late School
Closing Plan
Is Restudied

Two members of the county
school board are objecting to the
scheduled late closing of schools
next year.
Tentative 1959-60 school calen.
dar calls for a June "a closing,
considerably later than in past
years.
Board Members Robert Z.
Morrow and Harold F. Breimyer
said they have received numer.
Gus complaints from parents.
Teachers also would prefer an
earlier closing, to give them
time to enroll in su m m r
courses at teachers colleges,
Arthur D. Simonds, jr., execu.
tive director Of the County
Teachers Association, told the
board.
At the insistence OF Morrow
and Breimyer, the board d.
rected County Superintendent Of
Schools C. Taylor Whittier to
reconsider the proposed calen-
dar.
Earlier, Whittier said the late
closing was made necessary in
part by the fact that Labor Day
in 1859 comes on September Z,
the latest possible date. Tradi'
tionally, schools do not open un-
til the day after Labor Day.
Morrow and Breimyer sug-
gested that some vacation days
can be taken away from the pro-
posed one.week Easter holiday
In order to allow an earlier clos
