The new insurance rates are
the result Of an upgrading Of

an increase in the efficiency
of the fire department.
Howeowners may now pur-
chase fire insurance at q Class

erS will receive a reduction of
up to four cents per 500, de-
pending on the construction

Edward A. Cooke, president
Of the fire department, said
the improvements Of the de-
partment over the past two
years included the employment
of Fire Chief David B. Gratz

The reduction in fire in

An attempt by a suburban
Maryland planner to clip the
wings of the Federal rapid
transit agency didn't even get
off the ground yesterday.
Donald Gingery, a Maryland
National Capital Park and
Planning Commissioner, had
hoped his agency would back
him in asking Congress to wa

Darwin Stolzenbach, admins
traitor of the National Capital
Transportation Agency. Mr..
Gingery got scattered sympa-

one second for his motion.
At issue is Mr.. Gingery's
claim that the transit agency
is making plans which could
drastically change development
in suburban Maryland and Vir-
ginia, and has not consulted
with local officials.
The nine other planning
Commissioners, however, felt
that no drastic action should
be taken against the transit
agency. at least until it pre-
sents its master transit plan
to the President November !
"TOO Late" Fears
Mr.. Gingery, who has wagec
a guerrilla war against the
agency, thought otherwise. "The

PoolesviIIe Annexation Heorino

against the annexation pro-
posal. Such a petition would re-
quire the signatures Of 20 per

OFF THE FIRST WEEK END 1t would
seem as if the AFL had taken steps to
balance its divisions. Houston, an easy win
ner in go, repeated last year with 1851
record, winning the last 10 in a row. The
Oilers had the names" going for them,
meaning George Blanda, Billy Cannon and
Charlie Tolar. But Buffalo, a loser eight
times in 81, made near thing of it.
Last Friday night the San Diego
Chargers, runner-up to the Oilers in the
only two championship playoffs, were
socked by the hghtly-regarded Denver
Broncos. 1921. The most one-sided game of
the first week was the Dallas Texans 1923
victory over the Boston Patriots.
There remains a question as to
whether the AFL can survive, although
there are certain signs of encouragement
For one thing, attendance rose last season
from $4,000 to 1,000,256, an increase of
eight per cent. And one of the eight owners,
K. s. CBud) Adams, jr., of the Oilers, broke
even. None Of the magnates expected to
show profit, nor did any.
IN SPITE OF HARRY WISMER'S VOW
to unfrock Joe Foss as commissioner, the
old World War II flying hero not only was
retained but was given new five-year
contract at $S5,0OO per annum, an increase
Of $5,000. About the most depressing
financial development was a decrease in
teleyision revenue to each club, $114,OOO
instead of $1S4,O00.
The AFL still watches to see what play
able veterans are dropped by the NFL, but
the evidence is that its need for tired
has-beens is not so acute. The Americans
claims to have made inroads again in the
college draft.
If the NFL turns deaf ear to proposals
for an all-pro showdown 1t is not above
raiding the fledgling loop for coach. This
would be Wally Lemm, who year ago was
tending his sports store in Illinois.
Lou Rymkus, an ex-Redskin, started
as coach Of Houston in 81 but, when the
Oilers showed only single win and tie
their first five games, he was released.
Lemm, quiet man, took over on October
10 and never lost game. His performance
inspired the st. Louis Cardinals Of the NFL
to hire him away from the Oilers, who
retaliated by signing Pop Ivy, who had
resigned from the Cards.

WYK LOSE OR DRAW
AFL Is Back Again,
Maybe Better Balanced

TWO YEARS AGO, when the Ameri-
can Football League launched its maiden
season, it pleased owners of the rival,
established National League to take their
turns at predicting failure and financial
ruination. There's no room for another
pro league" they stated flatly, all the while
engaged in expanding their own business.
But the AFL investors licked their
financial wounds Of &C., also survived last
season, and, 10 and behold, opened shop for
a third year over the week end. There was
a sample on television. On the screen the
product looked pretty good.
On Channel Z, coming from the West
Coast, 1t was the New York Titans versus
the Oakland Raiders and show typical of
the drab ingenuity Of all mercenaries For
NFLers it probably will provide fuel for
criticism. The star was Lee GroSscup, who
didn't make the grade with the New York
Giants and, more recently, with the Min
nesota Vikings.
Maybe all GrosScup needed was a
chance, like Leon Wagner in baseball Con-
sidering that he had been signed only two
days earlier, the one-time All-America from
Utah was phenomenal.
THE FIRST TIME GROSSCUP handled
the bail at quarterback for the Titans he
connected on an 80-yard scoring pass. The
next time he flipped 19-yarder for another
score. Then he left the game, temporarily
"Grosscup is so new that he doesn't
know many of the Titans plays" the COM
mentator said, almost apologetically. APP
parently Lee knew one more because he
returned to spell the No. quarterback, Ed
Songin, and completed 64-yard I'd pass
to wrap up the game for New York, 28-17.
The AFL attraction at Buffalo wasn't
televised over the network but it may have
been of more significance. The city's biggest
league crowd, 1926, turned out to watch
the champion Houston oilers nose out the
hometown Bills, 1928.
This was big game for Buffalo, even
though the Bills lost In the preseason
picks Buffalo was chosen to beat out only
New York in the Eastern Division, whereas
the Oilers we're almost unanimous choices
to win their third straight AFL title. The
champs had all they could do to stave off
the 20-point second-half drive Of the Bills.

All the Yankees needed to get
back in pennant stride was
Mickey Mantle.
His knees and side ached-
but he was Mickey the Magnifi-
cent again last night.
Mantle returned to the lineup
and revived the staggering,
weary Yankees with an inspira-
tional performance. The YAM
KEGS, in a rare display Of emo
tion-for them-whooped it up
in their clubhouse after eking
out a 81 victory over the
Tigers.
The triumph opened New
York's American League to 315
games over Minnesota, which
suffered a SO blanking at the
hands Of the third-place An
gels, who remained four games
off the pace.
Chance Hurls One Hitter
Only an infield single kept
Dean Chance from registering
a no-hitter for the Angels. The
31-year-old righthander, who
has emerged as the leader of
the Los Angeles staff, turned
the Twins away without q hit
until there was one out in the
eighth inning. Then Zoilo Ver-
SALES lashed a hard one up the
middle which Jim Fregosi raced
over to spear, but his throw to
first was late and wild, per-
mitting Versailles to reach sec
ond. 1t went as an unques-
toned hit.
Baltimore nipped Boston, 81,
on Dick Williams 12th-inning
pinch-hit and Chicago edged
Kansas City, 4-3, in other AL
games. Cleveland and WASH
ington were not scheduled.
Yankee Manager Ralph Houk
wore q broad smile after his
teams victory.
"Any bah club would be bet
ter with Mantle in the lineup,
not Just ours" he said. Sure.
we're a lot better with him in
there. But you don't win pen
nants on the play Of Just one
man. The key to the race is
what the other guys do"
Belts 4OOth Homer
But 1t was apparent last night
the other Yankees play better
with Mantle in there. They
didn't seem like the club that
played 500 ball during the six
games Mantle missed since last
Tuesday and lost a Sunday
double-header to eighth-place
Boston.
l. He belted his 400th career
homer, skyrocketing the ball
45o-feet. 1t was the first hit off
Hank Aguirre after the Tiger
southpaw had pitched four per-
feet innings and it wiped out
the Tigers 10 lead which had
