Fall Activity,
HasCaIm Note
BY SHIRLEY T. WAGNER
contributing Writer

ATLANTIC CITY, N. 1.-THE
month Of September brings a
different atmosphere to the Jer-
sey shoreline.
Busting crowds. youngsters
and high spirited times are
gone. But calmness. the lazy
blending Of late summer with
the early fall brings a new
sphere Of things to those that
are fortunate enough to spend
these days near the coast.
Lifeguards are still on duty
on most Of the main beaches
here for the entire month and
the rolling surf reaches its top
temperatures before it starts TO
descend into the cooler levels
towards fall.
Fishing ROdeO
The annual Greater Atlantic
City Surf Fishing Rodeo will
bring some 500 fishermen
here September 10, 10, and
20 to line about three miles of
the beachfront. Prizes are Of
fered for both teams and in
dividuals. Other fishing tourna-
ments are planned until Novem-
Der /.
Many activities are still
planned for this resort-the
Miss America Pageant week is
from September 8 to IL; Steel
Pier offers top entertainment
through September 20. Many
conventions will be converting
here. including the American
Chemical Society," American
College Of Surgeons and the
American Automobile Associa-
ton.
rlXeu bridge
OF newsworthy note to boat
lovers are plans of Atlantic
County to erect a fixed bridge
over the main channel of the
Inland Waterway at Longport,
N. j.. which is the lower end of
AbSecon Island.
This would prevent small sail
boats from passing as we'll as
all yachts and commercial craft
with higher than ordinary
super-structures.
Many individuals and organ
izations are protesting this &C
ton. 1t would have a big effect
on all those who frequent the
inland waterways, which is
one Of the most popular routes
along the entire East Coast.
Down the coast: The Ocean
City Yacht Club celebrated its
Goth anniversary this week will.
many festive events Down
in Wildwood: New Jersey Amer
lean Legion and its Auxiliary
will hold their convention Sep
TENDER 10, IL and IL with their
big parade being held Septem-

Let's All Meet Once More
At Broddock Heights, Nd.
BY EvANGELINE r. GRANT
@-AN.GkuelA. WrftaE

COntIlputlnk WEiNel
Lets meet again at Brad
dock Heights. Md. A wonderful
place to come back to-"
That's what the post card
said-the one picked up the
other day in a souvenir shop.
And oh! the happy memories
that came back to me.
Braddock Heights-this was
the resort where Washington
ians escaped the humid weather
during the roaring '20s.
Excursionists took the train
to Frederick, where they trans
ferred to the trolley for the 81
mile trip through the valley
and up the mountain to Brad
dock. The trip terminated at
the post Office and McCardell's
Drug Store. Here, too, was the
substation, presided over by
Edgar Kern.
Mr.. Kern. you might say.
was the unofficial Mayor of
Braddock. He was the first to
greet the trolley when summer
began and the last to wave
good-by on Labor Day. Trunks
were unloaded and put on a
pony cart. driven by Mr.. Kern's
son. Wilbur.
I can see Wilbur now, sitting
on top of the trunks. trotting
out the boulevard to Casa Iona
and, later, Vindobona.
There were many popular
places to stay and they are
still there, though some have
changed their names. On the
boulevard Overlooking Middle
town Valley on one side and
Frederick Valley on the other) >,
do you remember the Nibrah,
Catocta, the Fairmont and
Buena Vista?
And down the other way on
Schley avenue was the Sea-
christ. Rudy's. the Bachelors
Club, and Camp Schley Inn. At
the Seachrist they always
served chicken and ice cream
on Thursdays and Sundays.
And whenever the dinner bell
rang. someone always jumped
up and shouted: "Oh how those
boarders yell. when they hear
that dinner bell three times a
day"
Playground Benefit
The first cottage on Maryland
avenue still belongs to Alice
Rohrback. I'll never forget the
lawn parties there, given by the
Braddock Heights Porch Club,
to raise money for the play
ground.
They strung japanese Ian
terms in the trees and had
booths selling homemade
fudge and cake. On down
Maryland avenue was the
Hayes House, Washington Cot
tage, Eifert's (where we used
to go for homemade ice
cream. the Braddock Hotel
(since burned DOWN with its
lovely SNOWFALL hedge. At the
end was Keller's Spring House |
and Zimmerman'S Garage.
Next to the scenery, I guess
Braddock is noted for its
amusement park and picnic |
grounds. The skating rink and |
bowling alleys are still doing
business. Unchanged, too, is the
merry-go-round.
At the top of the mountain
is the observatory. where you
can see clear to Harper's Ferry
on one side and Frederick on

 United States Representative Leo w. O'Brien O-NY introduced a similar bill few days before Representative O'Brien also spon- sored the Alaska Statehood Bill, which was enacted into law by the 85th Congress.

ARGENTIA, Nfld., R - AnaS- tas Mikoyan spent an unexpected night at the U. s. Naval Base in Newfoundland after the Scandi- navian airliner carrying the So- viet deputy premier homeward was forced down with two engines out.
 Mikoyan - apparently unsha- ken by the mishap which set nerves jangling in more than one capitol - was to board another plane today to resume his flight to Copenhagen. He ended his 16- day visit to the United States Tuesday and started home with a party of five, including his son, Sergo.
 The airline ordered a plane from Copenhagen to Newfound- land to pick up the stranded pas sengers.
 The pilot, Capt. Carl Schulz berg, reported that he detected a defective supercharger on No. 4 engine while 108 miles from Gan der, Mild.
 While trying to adjust this me chanical condition, fire broke out in engine No. 1, which lasted five or six seconds" he said.
 The plane came down at the U. s. base at 8:O4 pm, shep- herded in through sWirling snow, by Canadian Air Force rescue plane and a Pan American air liner
 But Schulzberg brought the big ship in smoothly after a ground controlled approach.
 After the landing, Mikoyan calmly took a short stroll around part of the NATO base from which radar planes patrol the Atlantic against any threat of Soviet at tack on North America.

WASHINGTON, R - Presid ont Eisenhower said today Russia must come to understand the United States simply won't be pushed around in working for world peace
 Eisenhower told news confer ence that was the purport of his message to Anastas Mikoyan, the Soviet Deputy Premier, as he left for home after his U. s. visit.
 On a domestic political matter, Eisenhower said he would favor repeal of the present Constitu- tional ban on a third term for Presidents.
 Eisenhower has said repeatedly that he would not be interested - primarily because of his age -- in a third term. There was no indication in what he said today that he has changed his mind
 The subject came up when a newsman recalled that Eisen- hover once said he thought il mot wholly wise" for the thlr~l term ban to have been writte,l into the Constitution.

Story-book detectives are
always talking about the Cor
pus delicti", by which they
usually mean a murder VIC
tim. AS their creators we'll
know, the prosecution has to
prove that a murder was &C
tually committed before re-
questing the jury to sentence
the defendant. Hence the
customary grueSome details
presented to the jury-pic-
lures of the body, coroner's
report on how death took
place, the murder weapon,
re-'nactment of the crime,
etc.
What happens if the body
can't be found?
That's exactly the real life
situation that confronted the
FBI in a story that will Ger
tainly take its place in the
more gruesome annals of the
sea. 1t involved the disap-
pearance Of James T. Hill,
electrician on board the Navy
cargo vessel Robert Craig one
october night in 1858, while
the ship was sailing through
the shark-infested Arabian
sea. A trail of bloodstains
leading to the railing suggest
ed the grim likelihood that
Hill was slugged repeatedly
with a blunt instrument, then
thrown to the sharks.
