U. of Nd. Joins
Solar Wind Study
BY the Associated Press

The University Of Maryland
will cooperate with the Ma
tional Aeronautics and Space
Administration in an inter-
planetary space probe.
The Joint investigation is
based on the belief that the
solar system contains a low
density mixture, or plaSma, of
ions and electrons in about
equal parts. Many scientists
believe this plaSma streams
outward from the sun as a
solar wind with a mean velocity
Of about 200 miles a second.
One Of the tasks for the joint
plasma probe will be to measure
this solar wind during satellite
missions which go we'll outside
the much denser atmosphere of
the earth.

Mr.. Marshall said the
Democrats have a platform

to end illegal gambling" He
said he would work with the
Democratic candidate for sher-

both are elected, to enforce
gambling laws regardless of
the attitude Of other law en-

subject"

A Democratic candidate has
accused Prince Georges County
Republicans of "knuckling
under" to pinball gambling in
terests Of the county, but his
G. o. P. opponent said the
claim is ridiculous"
The attack came yesterday
from Arthur A. Marshall. jr.,
Democratic didate for
States attorney, who criticized
the Republicans for failing to
mention illegal pinball ma
chine gambling" when they re-
leased their party platform on
Saturday.
THE Republicans remained
silent on this issue, which I
think is the greatest moral
issue the county faces" Mr..
Marshall declared.
Given Warning
He said that he had been
warned" that If he continues
his campaign to eliminate pin
ball machines that 1.-The ma
chine interests will throw their
support. both financial and
otherwise, behind my opponent
in the general election"
He added, II can only in
terpret the silence of the oppo-
sition party on this issue as a
clear indication that an under
standing already has been
reached"
But his Republican opponent,
Harold J. Rogers, denied it
just as vigorously.
TITS a ridiculous statement.
Apparently this fellow is be-
ginning to panic" Mr.. Rogers
said.
Enforcement Promised
The Republican platform,
Mr.. Rogers said, includes a
promise of strict enforcement
of all laws. He said it very
definitely includes pinabll pay
offs, which are illegal"
Mr.. Rogers reiterated a
pledge he made during the Re-
publican primary campaign
last spring, in which he de-
feated Theodore Manga, that
he was opposed to pinball pay

RICHMOND. Aug. IA (AP).
The State Pupil Placement
Board assigned % Negro pupils
yesterday to white or predomi-
nantly white schools in seven
Virginia localities.
All but one Of the nine
schools to which Negroes were
admitted already had been de-
segregated. The exception was
James Monroe High School of
Fredericksburg, to which one
Negro student was assigned.
The Negro admitted to James
Monroe High. as well as one
assigned to Maury Elementary
School in Fredericksburg,
earlier had been turned down
by the placement agency. But
the board reversed its decision
after they appealed.
Four other Negroes turned
down by the board earlier had
their applications to enter
white Fredericksburg schools
rejected again yesterday.
Assigned to predominantly
white schools, along with the
ones at Fredericksburg, were
eight Negroes in Alexandria, six
in Floyd County, two in Galax,
two in Prince William County,
six in the City of Portsmouth,
and two in Montgomery
County.
Five Of those in Alexandria
were assigned to Minnie How
ard Elementary School and
three to Ficklin Elementary
School.
E. j. OgleSby, placement
board chairman. said the APP
plications in Alexandria, Floyd
County and Galax were made
before the boards June dead
line, but were not received I'M
til recently. He said the Prince
William County application
came from a Negro family
which recently moved into that
locality.

it did not justify river protec-

Also included in the commit
tee budget was SAL million to
continue dredging the Balti-
more harbor. More and larger
carriers are steaming into the
port with heavy metal ore and
petroleum products. The har-
Dor improvements should draw
fully loaded super-tankers.
They could move, too, through

There was no mention in the
report of the Army Engineers

whether gas in quantity will
be piped from Baltimore or
carried by ship to Alexandria.
New Projects Included
The bill, including funds for

projects, is $674,95l, 800 above
public works appropriations for
the year that ended June so,
but 129,424,100 under Presi-
dent Kennedy'S budget recon-
mendationS.
In its report, the committee
applauded what it termed a
continuing trend to approach
water resources problems by
considering river basins as a
whole.
The public works program
under the Atomic Energy Com
mission accounted for $780,
$4,000. slightly under the
budget estimate.

Army Engineers should have
$4,000 to meet arguments
bound to arise upon release of
their plan for Potomac River
development, the House APP
preparations Committee decided
today.
The item was included in the
$4.6 billion public works budget
reported by the committee,
Brig. Gen. T. H. Lipscomb, d.
vision engineer, assured COM
mitteemen the basin study
would be finished this year.
Engineering has been con-
cluded. But the $4,000 was
recommended for "backup
data" to be used by people
who want to analyze conclu-
sions or dispute findings.
Controversy Continues
II am sure you are aware
this study has controversial
aspects and when we have pub
lished, bound and distributed it,
we are rot through with it by
a long shot," Gen. Lipscomb
testified at the hearing.
Probably the two most con-
troversial items are proposed
dams at River Bend and near
Seneca, suggested as alterna-
tives at recent public hearings,
Engineers have selected Is dam
or reservoir structures, from
which the Potomac River pro-
gram will be shaped.
The House committee also
granted $4,000 to study
whether the population ex-
plosion along the AnacoStia
merits more flood control. In
1860. a $12.2 million flood con-
troll project, more than hall
of which was financed locally,
was completed.

Elemental appropriations re-
quest included $375, 900 for the
General Services Administra-
ton to provide additional
matching grant funds for the
construction of a new hospital
in Southeast Washington. The
request also covers estimated
increases in construction costs
since the hospital was author
lied in February, 1858.
Avenue Study Due
Another District item in the
Presidents appropriations re-
quest was $4,000 to the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission for a design study Of
Pennsylvania avenue between
the White House and Capitol.
Also, he asked for $l0,886 out
of D. c. Funds to the District
of Columbia to pay claims.
The largest item asked by
the President was $306.8 mil
lion for increased grants to
the states for public assistance
and other costs under the Pub
lie Welware law of 1862.

disappearing guns we're re-
moved from the fort for SAL
wage as scrap iron, and in
1914 the fort was closed down.
After being declared surplus to
military need in 1915, Pea Patch
Island reverted back to the
State of Delaware, which had
ceded it to the government more
than a century earlier, and
was placed under the jurisdic-
ton OF the State Park Com
mission.
Aware of the historical sig
nificance Of the old fort and
alarmed at the prospect of its
being abandoned and forgotten
by future generations, a group
of public spirited citizens sub
sequently organized the Fort
Delaware Society. This group,
with the cooperation ofthe State
Park Commission, initiated
cleaning up of the area sur
rounding the Fort; extablish-
ment of boat service between
the mainland and the island,
and the publicizing Of Fort Del
aware as tourist attraction.
While a small museum is be
ing established on thepremises
and a few roomsoa are being
restored, the fort will not be
fully restored. Instead, accord
ing to the Development Depart
ment, it Will remain replete
with empty port holes, ramparts
and barracks, and a parade

night, may still seem to echo
the sound of marching feet from

Despite the fact that it was

its original mission--that OF
defending the water approaches
to Philadelphia and the Dela-
ware Valley--Fort Delaware
has had a long and colorful
history notes the Development
Department.
The original Fort Delaware,
a wooden structure, was built
in 1918 on an island that ira :
ditionally grew from the
shipwreck, on sand bar, in
early colonial times, of a boat
loaded with peas. In 1921, a
mason fort replaced the orig
inal frame structure and this,
in mrn, was replaced in 1888.
A great tidal wave washed
everything off the island in
1916, and, one year later, Con :
gress appropriated one million
dollars for construction OF what
was to be the largest and most
modern U. S. fort of that era.
Another million dollars and ten
years labor we're expended be-
fore this bastion, the present
fort, was completed just lit
tie over one hundred years
ago.
Pressed into service in 1862
as prison for captured Con-
federacy soldiers, Fort Della :
ware soon became famous or
infamous~ depending upon Whe-
ther one lives north OF the Po-
tonac or is from a southern
state.

decision was made to transfer
on release the prisoners who
had survived imprisonment on
Pea Patch Island.

It's reliability
is probably
its greatest
single asset

When you build quality truck,
the inclination is to run around
asking users what they think of it.
We do quite a bit of this.
It's a funny thing. You'd think
people would talk mostly about
the mechanical features of the
vehicle-the good ride, its power,
the double-wall construction, cab
comfort, or tough tailgate.
These things get comment, of
course, but they're consistently
outnumbered by expressions Of
satisfaction with the dependdbility
OF a Chevrolet truck. Its greatest
single asset seems to be the fact
that it does its job well day after
day without lot of fuss or atten-
tion-and that's what impresses
people the most.
