President Kennedy's new ap-
pointee as chairman of the
National Capital Pla min 6
C o m mission underwent a
rugged first day as presiding
officer without losing h e
aplomb-or her smile.
II was shaking in my shoes
but I tried not to show it,
said Mrs. James H. Rowe, jr.,
wife of an attorney and mother
of two daughters and a son,
after the all-day session came
to a close yesterday.
Her first day as chairman
was one Of the busiest and
most controversy-filled COM
mission meetings of recent
years. 1t took UP the much
debated Inner Loop express
way issue, and was forced by
the wealth Of testimony to
postpone a final decision until
a secondary session this morn
ing.
"In spite of the differences
of opinion expressed on the
Inner Loop question, there was
not any name calling or
wrangling-and for this I was
very glad" Mrs. Rowe said. "I
would hate to have to gavel
anyone down."
Letter From Kennedy
Mrs. Rowe moved in a single
day from vice chairman to
chairman of the agency, with
a period in between, during the
morning session, as acting
chairman to replace A. M.
Woodruff. who had resigned.
Her designation as chairman
came shortly after Q pm. in
the form Of a letter from
President Kennedy that was
read by Daniel H. Shear, NCPC
general counsel,
After applause from a record
breaking crowd present. the
commission chose Mr.. Wood

THIS INTEREST in

THIS INTEREST in i'm
proving the breed Of horses
probably dates from a youth
full experience. In August,
1919, the Rambler was tent
ing at Lake Luzerne IN the
Adirondacks with his boy
hood hero, Walt F7agg.
Saratoga was only Is miles
away and Saratogaswas part
of the great world. We left
our simple sylvan bower and
hitchhiked to that northern
resort of opulence and sin.
The Grand Union Hotel
was still standing in its ante
bellum (pre civil War;
magnificence. I remember
examining a Hispano-Suiza
phaeton parked at the curb.
It had four wheel brakes.
No American car had them
at that time.
The elms were magnifi-
cent. Each had the perfect
wine-glass shape - the sort
of tree Joyce Kilmer wrote
about. We sampled the
curative waters and the
vichy and the Saratoga chips
and a hot dog or two. We
got to the track after the
races, entered for free and
slept under a group OF elms
in the enclosure.
The place was ours the
next morning. The horse we
were interested in seeing was
Roamer, then 8 years old. He
had been the leading money
winner in 1914 ($29, ,000) and
had won the Saratoga
Handicap twice in the two
previous years.
But all the stable boys
were talking about a won
derful 2-year-old, Man o.
War. He was going that
afternoon. Because we never
left the track, we didn't have
to pay to get in which was
a good thing; we didn't have
the price.
And that's how we hap
pened to see Man o. War,
with LOTUS up, win the
Hopeful Stakes.

KELSO WILL BE the first
horse to 60 to the post in the
international at less than
even money.
Three years ago, If men,
ory serves me right, Bally-
moss was 5 to 4.
The Rambler got to the
track at dawn on a morning
so chilly that it invigorated
the horses, caused the
clockers to shiver.
Ballymoss was the most
beautiful horse he had ever
seen.
His workout was impress
sive. Understand he was GO
ing counterclockwise instead
of clockwise as he had run
in his native Ireland.
He made the turns at 40
miles an hour without
swinging wide. No one but
a juvenile hot-rodder would
want to take those turns at
that speed in an automobile.
On the day Of the race
everything went fine. The
Rambler had three winners
in the early races. When 1t
came to the international he
made his way to the 500
window.
. What of the odds2 The
thing to do was to bet on
the best horse regardless.
Well, Ballymos oss was
bumped into the hedge
rounding the club house turn
first time around. He never
did seem to recover from
that indignity. Coming down
the stretch he had his
chance. But he. was third at
the head of the stretch and
third at the finish.

prominent widow Of q United
States diplomat, at 1923 Six
teenth street NV.
Mrs. Werlich, whose show
place home Is one Of Washing

olds answered that she did not
feel well and said she was sick
from eating some chocolate.
Mounting the stairs, Mrs.
Werlich said she found Miss
Reynolds nearly unconscious in
q bedroom next to the one in
which she ordinarily slept. In
the maids bedroom, bathroom
and a hallway police found
charred bits of clothing. There
was water in the tub in which
Miss Reynolds apparently had
tried to put out her clothes.
Miss Reynolds was able to
tell the detective that she had
brushed against a hotplate that
she had turned on to supple
ment the heat, setting fire to
her nightgown. Miss Reynolds
said she had gone back to bed
after putting out the flames

Prince Georges
Police Arrest
T0yern Keeper
BY JAMES B. ROWLAND
Star staff Writer {.

Prince Georges County police
last night seized another PIN
ball machine in hope Of win
ming a test case on a 1859 law,
which allows Federal gambling
stamps to be used as evidence
that cash payoffs are being
made.
The machine was confis.
Gated at Town Hall, a tavern
on o. s, Route /. just north Of
the University Of Maryland in
College Park. ~
A police undercover man,
posing as a university student,
played the machine for about
two hours, according to Detec-
tive Sergt. George e. Clements.
The undercover man did net
ask for and did not receive q
cash payoff, he added.
Police said the tavern opera
tor, Joseph Burdoo, A, of the
300 block Of Fairoak avenue,
Chillum, was charged under the
two-year-old Wheatley law. The
arrest was the first under the
law since November 10, 1859,
when county police arrested
eight persons In four taverns.
Prima Facie Evidence
The statute provides that
possession Of a $3.50 Federal
gaming stamp for a pinball
machine shall be prima facie
evidence Of gambling, illegal in
Prince Georges. The law Is
known by the name Of its au-
thor, State Senator H. Winship
Wheatley. jr., Democrat Of
Prince Georges.

ated machines were covered by

purchased for the Village Barn
then operating at 6l25 Suitland
road, near Morningside.S The
tavern was one Of the four
hit during the arrest Noyern-
Der 10, 1859.
Owners Given Receipts
Tavern owners paying the
$3.50 Federal gaming tax do not
receive individual stamps to- be
pasted on machines, but rather
q receipt showing the total
amount Of tax paid with no
desigilation for individual coin
operated machines.
Town Hall has three ma
chimes and an Internal Revenue
Service receipt showing $3.50
paid for the Federal gaming
tax, Sergt. Clements said.

And the Democratic majority
leader of the House Of DELEGATES
said he will introduce q bill ir
the 1862 General Assembly call
ing for q convention to rewrite
the State constitution. The
primary purpose would be tc
revise legislative apportionmeni
provisions.
The Court Of Appeals ordered
reargument Of the reapportion-
ment suit before all sever
judges. The move indicates the
judges are either divided or feel
the matter is Of such signifi-
canoe the full court should rule
on it.

cision was ordered for the week

Democratic House floor leader
from Baltimore County. said
he viii introduce the constitu-
tional convention bill in 1862.
He said q revision Of the con-
stitution would solve all our
major problems"
Aside from revsmping Gen.
eral Assembly apportionment,
Mr.. Boone said that stream
lining the constitution would
eliminate the need for voting
almost every election on a Sc
ries Of constitutional amend
mentS.
Ballots Size Criticized
"The Maryland ballot is get
ting as big as a bed sheet" Mr..
Boone said.
Previous efforts to revise the
94-year-old constitution have
been rejected. Convention leg
islation passed the House of
Delegates in 1860 and 1861 but
were killed in the rurally con-
trolled Senate.
Legislators from the small
counties have resisted the con-
vention call because they fear a
shift in the balance Of power
to the urban areas.
In Prince Georges County,
the Council of Democratic
Clubs announced today 1t has
designated a committee to draft
legislation for reapportionment
Of Assrnebly seats.
The four-rnan committee is
