Scores Red Practices
In an obvious criticism of
Communist procedures, he
added that if the principle
of non-intervention had been
applied on a worldwide basis
with the integrity and firmness
it is applied in this hemisphere
it would have given consistency
to "all vague wishes of CO.
existence between regimes of
different structure and contra
dictory principles and between
ways of life which radically
diverge in theory and practice.
II am afraid there will not
be coeXiStence on this planet
so long as the non-intervention
principle is not treated with
the straightforwardness, moral
fitness and respect it receives
in America"

NEW YORK, April 7 (AP) -
The second of three income taS
evasion charges against Repre-
sentative Adam Clayton Powell
jr., Democrat of New York, was
dismissed today in Federal Dis
trict Court. The Negro Con-
gresham remained on trial or
the third charge. however.
United States District Judge
Frederick van Pelt Bryan dis
missed one count of the indict-
ment Tuesday and the second
today.
The charge dismissed today
held that Mr.. Powell attempted
to evade payment of $1,339.6e
in taxes owed by his wife, Jazz
Pianist Hazel Scott, for the
year 1851.
Judge Bryan held that the
Government had not estab-
lished a prima facie case and
had failed to make a case on
the issue involved.
The judge on Tuesday had
dismissed a charge that Mr.
Powell was guilty of fraud in
making out Joint return fol
his wife and himself in 1852.
The remaining charge is that
he helped prepare a false in
come tax return for Miss Scott

Not Over-Armed
Mr.. Lleras said that except

The reason why ornaments

The FPC chairman said Mr..

Navy plans to step up the

Irine program while cutting
back construction of attack
submarines brought criticism
today from Representative

Mr.. Mahon is chairman of

considering the defense budget

ut looks like a compromise
package and I personally be-
lieve it's a poor package" Mr..

He said he favored expan-
sion of the Polaris submarine
program but 81 wouldn't give
any serious consideration to
eliminating the attack subma-
rines, which are major anti
submarine weapons"

He said he believed most
members of his subcommittee
feel the same way.
Senators of both parties gen.
orally applauded the missile
program changes announced
yesterday. Here's what is in

The Defense Department
asked Congress for $39 million
to start building six more Po-

policy reversal on the part of
the Pentagon. And Secretary
of Defense Gates told Congress
the Navy is willing to put off
getting funds for two of three
planned nuclear attack sub
marines already included in

Enough money to meet full

Fishing Improves in the
Inland BayS

Although temperatures have
been somewhat below normal
this spring and the waters not
as warm as usual, fish are be-
ginning 20 migrate into Della
wares inland bays. During the
past week excellent catches of
many kinds of fish have been
reported from Delaware City to
Indian River Inlet.
Rock, catfish, perch and carp,
taken in that order, seem to be
most abundant in the upper part
of Delaware River. In the waters
off Augustine Beach many fine
catches of pan-sized rock have
been reported. Interviews with
fishermen in the area showed
that the catches ranged up to rs
fish, one-half pound and over in
weight. The most productive
waters for rock fish are from
Augustine Beach to Bay View
At this time of year the rock is
a difficult fish to hook, especial
Ily when it is found around rocks
and marsh edges.
Bay fishermen will be inter
ested to know that a large catcf
of taug was brought in at Bow
ers, by the Phyllis Kay. Over
$50 pounds of fish, many weigh
ing 10 pounds each, were noted
by personnel of the Game anc
Fish Commission in their mar
inc fisheries survey. One rather
distinctive feature of this fish is
its large roe; eighteen fish of the
catch produced over l6 pints.

Carded Saturday
At Delpark Oval

Racing on the grass, at

the more coveted grass specials
slated during the 55-day meet
ing.
Weather permitting, Racing
Secretary Allan w. Doc) LAWN,
who assumed that post this year

hopes to card turf course race
virtually every day. The long

the $4,000 added, mile and
three-eighths Sussex Turf Hand
leap, to be renewed Saturday,
June 8. This weekend's Brandy
wine is a test of a mile and a
sixteenth.
The meetings grass schedule
also includes four major fea-
lures including three $4,000
specials and one with a $500
purse.
The Brandywine is expected
to attract some of the finest
grass specialists in training,
among them such as Jaclyn
Stables LII Fella, John c. Hau-
er's Little Fitz, Gre entire e
Stables Eurasia, Llangollen
FARMS Bob End, Springfield
Stables Troubadour End, and
the like. The last-named import
ed star recently captured Pim-

taken by Pantene, who equalled
the turf course time record of

new record for the course.

crossed $3l,400 and yielded
$22, $50 to the winner.

the finest to be found anywhere,
unexcelled in quality and spac-
iousness. This type of compet-
ition is natural" for the great
majority of thoroughbreds, since
horses are raised on grassy
farms long before they get to
the races. 1t particularly ap-
peals to imported horses, with
most foreign racing conducted
on grass. Hence the progress
made by this colorful type of
sport.
