into a 35-foot ravine, iniuring
three persons.
One passenger, Ernest Freid-

Hot Shoppe
HoIdup Pair
Takes $764

The assistant manager OF
the Hot Shoppe at Fourth
street and Florida avenue NE
was held up and robbed Of $76l
early today and two other en-
ployes were struck on their
heads with q pistol, police
reported.
1t. OrviIle Erfert of the
Robbery Squad said James A.
Babcock, %, Of 4506 Sigsbee
road. Silver Spring. the assist
ant manager. had $50 taken
from his wallet and was forced
to open q basement safe and
give q g1nman $7o2 in 9 money
bag.
The other two employees,
Willie Benson. Is, Of 1858
Morse street NE, and James n.
McCree. 26. Of 81 U street NV,
were struck on their heads after
they were forced to lie on the
floor, 1t. Erfert said. Both were
treated at Casualty Hospital
and released.
1t. Erfert reconstructed the
attack and robbery this way:
When Mr.. Benson went out
TO empty some trash. he WAS
forced back into the restaurant
by q gunman who threw both
him and Mr.. Babcock to the
floor when they were slow in
lying down when ordered to.
Apparently a second bandit,
whom the employees had not
seen, told the first man to
search Mr.. Babcock. He did
and took the money from his
wallet. He then forced Mr..
Babcock into the basement and
made him open the safe. Again
the gunman became impatient
and fired one shot into q file
cabinet.
At this point, Mr.. Babcock
opened the safe. and the man
took out the bag Of money and
fled.
Meanwhile, the second bandit
upstairs had struck the other
two employees and ordered a
fourth, Thomas Brown, jr., 10,
Of SO H street NV, who was
IN q back room, to lie on the
floor.

of the reasons I am getting
out Of politics.
MY stand on pinball ma.
chimes is a matter Of public
record.
"Pinball machines have been
in the county for many years.
Since the Federal stamp has
been required, I have always
advocated the outlawing of
these machines and submitted
q bill to the Legislature to do
so. This bill failed because of
a lack of public support and
none of the individuals now
complaining about the ma
chimes did anything to support
the bill.
THE Federal stamp does not
make the machine illegal and
you cannot obtain a conviction
on the sole basis Of the stamp.
You need evidence Of payoff,
and when that evidence is pre-
sented to me ! will prosecute.
The fact that Mr.. De Blasts has
handled some corporate mat
ters for Hoke Coin Machine Co.
will not affect my action as
States attornpv
This whole matter Of pin
ball payoffs has been greatly
exaggerated and I challenge
anyone to produce any infor-
nation Of payoffs or any other
form Of gambling in this
county"
Mr.. Callow. the county treas
urer, told a reporter that, in his
private capacity as q certified
public accountant he has ham
died audits, accounts and tax
problems for the Crews Coin
Machine Service of Colmar
Manor, Md, for the last Is
years.
That's my profession" Mr..
Callow stated. The Crews firm,
he said, is zone Of about 100
clients, large and small"
II do q lot of charity work,
too" the county treasurer said,
stating that he has served as
an accountant at reduced fees
or without charge for such
groups as the county Red Cross,
Hopsital Guild, Boys Club and
Heart Fund.
Thomas B. Yewell, an or
lganization-backed candidate for
States attorney, acknowled dyed
yesterday that he was an in
corporator nearly six years ago
| for one Of the county's largest
pinball machine firms. He said
that In 1856 he signed articles
of incorporation for Silent
Sales Of A. A.. Inc.
i As a private attorney, he has
signed dozens Of charters" /" MFR
Yewell said. He added that he
has no present connection with
the firm and, further. was un-
aware 1t was in the pinball
business.
Affixing his signature to the
incorporation papers was "the
barest Of legal acts" Mr.. Yewell
said. He said he signed the
papers during his employment
in the law office Of Ralph w
Powers, who is now a Circuit
Court Judge in the county.
His opponent in the primary

pinball gambling in Prince

with the connivance Of elected
county officials"
| Mr.. Marshall, noting that
some 270 pinball machines in
the county are covered by $3.50
Federal gaming tax stamps, has
stated that operators of the
machines have yearly profits
of 81 million or more. He said
he based the figure on an

good location can earn as much
as $500 a week for its operator.

The Fairfax Board Of County
Supervisors revealed an unusual
highway plan yesterday de-
signed to avoid all the un-
pleasant controversy that plans
heretofore have generated.
All you do, according to the
Fairfax plan, is draw up your
map, then erase the sections
that cause discomfort. The re-
sulting map does not appear
very efficient. but 1t is not con-
troversial either.
The Supervisors, acting un-
der their new plan, set q public
hearing for July IL on the
highway master plan which
may be the only one like it in
the country.
County planners were plainly
unhappy about the map which
has highways stopping sud-
denly, then beginning again on
the other side Of a danger area,
but supervisors appeared
pleased it'll it.
Displeases Planners
How citizens will like high
ways which don't go anywhere
will be learned on July IL. How
planners liked 1t was learned
yesterday when Planning Di-
rector william c. Burrage said
lhe thought 1t was terrible.
"The whole philosophy of
planning is involved here" he
said, explaining that at times
roads simply must go through.
But supervisors said that a
plan Is just a plan and that
when q highway is put on a
map. property values are apt
to be affected and then some
times the highway doesn't even
go where planned, they said.
For while the County may
plan for highways and put them
on maps and that sort Of thing,
it is the State which decides
where they are to 60 and builds
them.
May Be Linked
Still, supervisors indicated it
is not beyond the realm of
possibility that definite loca-
tionS for some Of the missing
links might be filled in after
the public hearing.

ton, Secretary Of War: The attack upon the
enemy's rear Of yesterday precipitated his
retreat Their loss in killed and wounded was
very severe, and many Of both were left on the
field Their retreat is by an almost impassabl
road, along which many wagons were LEFT in
the woods, and wagon loads of blankets. cloth

directions.
During the evening many Of the rebels
were killed by shells. Gen Ashby, who COW

exhibited admirable skill and audacity, was

q skirmish with it. Had he arrived there but
three Of four hours sooner, he would doubtless
instead have intercepted yackson's 0duGnce

was, he appears to have been able only to draw
up his army in line Of battle while the main
body of the rebel army were making good their
retreat; leaving the inevitable Ashby only to
amuse his would-be pursuers.
Circumstances enough have come to our
