National Al Alumni

Former All Club members
today number nearly % mil
lion, the largest alumni of any
co-educational youth organiza :
tion in the world, according to
James o. Baker, State All
Club leader. The number is
increasing each year as All
boys and girls reach their 2lst
birthday and graduate from the
active rolls of 4-H clubs.
Up until the past decade,
most All members we're sons
and daughters of farm families,
or lived in small rural CON-
munities. BY 1870, according
to Baker, the larger percentage
of All membership will be
non-farm youth. This is the re-
suit of the shift of farm pop
ulation, he says.
Consequently more former
All members will be filling
city jobs or pursuing profess
sional careers.
For the last 10 years, there
has been an adult All activity
which looks for former club
members who have distin-
guished themselves. 1t is the

Sick Plant
Clinic
Planned

A clinic for sick plants, de-
signed to help farmers re-
cognize and solve problems
caused by insects, diseases,
weeds, and other factors, is
being added to the 1862 Farm
Field Day at the University of
Delaware Substation near
Georgetown on August /.
Field crop and vegetablepro-
ducers are being encouraged to
bring in "sick plants" for
diagnosis by a panel of spec
ialists representing all of the
areas of plant growth.
Included in the list of spec
ialists that will be on hand are:
DR.. Dale F. Bray and Professor
Donald MacCreary, Extension
entomologists; DR.. William
Mitchell, agronomist; Profess
sor Robert F. Stevens, hort
iculturist; and DR.. John Heu-
berger, plant pathologist.
These ''Dr. Kildares" of the
plant world will staff receiv-
ing hospital in the grove of the
substation from 1000 AM
until all ailing plants have been
attended to.
According to Frank Gordy,
general chairman of the Farm
Field Day, farmers will have
chance to see the plants under
microscope, and view the
cause of their problem magni-
fled many times. He indicates
any plants that look as though
they are not doing we'll are

One went behind the counter
and ordered Mr.. Chechyk to

other two stayed in front. The
men stuffed $500 in bills and
about $34 in change into a

west on Rhode Island avenue
and north on Reed street. The
boy later returned and reported

and saw the paraphernalia, he
commented:
II wouldn't have believed it
right at my back door,"
Sergt. Clements, who heads
the county's vice squad, was
picked UP only minutes before
the raid at the Seat Pleasant
police station - about three
blocks from the scenes of the
gambling set-up.
On the basis of the records
found at the scene, agents esti-
mated the daily gross at $4,000.
They figured the annual gross
at $750,000 to 81 million.
The Seat Pleasant house is
owned by a woman who is a
waitress in a Washington res
taurant and her husband, an
auto repairman.
Present at the time of the
raid, she told agents that she
rented the basement for SIS a
month and the same tenants
had occupied it for a year and
a half-indicating how long
the gambling operation must
have existed there.
Woman Denies Completely
She said a friend whose name
she couldn't remember had ap-
preached her to rent the base
ment. She told agents that she
had no idea what was going on
in the basement, that she knew
nothing about the tenants,
when they came and when they
went.
The rent, she said, was left
monthly in an envelope on the
kitchen table. She explained
she was out all day at her job,
leaving a baby-sitter in charge
of her three children.
Agents said the raid came
after a two-week investigation,
including surveillance of the
house. The headquarters was
described as the place where
the work" came in-where the
bets were received and the
books balanced.
Gianaris, one of the agents
reported, personally picks up
the money owed him during
visits to downtown Washington,
usually at night.
Agents found $142 in his wal
let. No other money was To-
Gated in the basement office.
Gambler Won't Talk
Gianaris, when agents started
to question him, laughingly de-
Scribed himself as self-em-
ployed, but added: II refuse to
answer any questions. I am not
going to say anything. It's
easier that way"
Before United States Com
missioner Samuel w. H. Meloy
in Upper Marlboro, the three
men each were charged with
the Internal Revenue violation
of failing to pay the occupa-
tional gambling tax stamp of
$50 a year. The maximum PEN
atty is one year in Jail and $10,-
900 fine.
The men were released on
81 1000 bond each. The prelim-
mary hearing was continued
until Sept. 7.
Gianaris has been on proba-
ton since May, 1860, when he
was given a suspended sentence
