water.
But yesterday, this court

for Roosevelt Robertson. ahusky
33-year-old defendant, on trial
for heaving a pitcher filled with
water at an assistant United

Robertson threw the pitcher
at H. Kenneth Schroeder, who
was handling the prosecution
against Rollerson during his
robbery trial before Judge
David A. Pine.
Rollerson was convicted Of
the robbery and Judge Pine
sentenced him to three to nine
years in prison and an addi-
tional year for contempt of
court.
Rollersor then was indicted
for asSaulting Mr.. Schroeder
with a dangerous weapon (the
pitcher) and for attacking a
Government official.

Judge Leonard p. Walsh, Mr..
Schroeder testified that the
pitcher had struck him on the

Montgomery
Blocks Plan
For.Firehouse
BY JAMES B. ROWLAND

The Montgomery County
Council, by a 4-to-3 vote, last
night reversed its earlier stanc
and denied a request for per-
mission TO build a $145,0O0 fire
house at Four Corners. mex
to st. Bernadette,s Church.
The controversial Request
had been made by the Silver
Spring Volunteer Fire Depart
ment, whose option to buy the
$4,000 site expired last mid
night. The property is at Uni
versity boulevard and st. Law
renee drive.
Changes Vote
Council members voting
against the firehouse site were
Miss Kathryn Diggs, Mrs. Mary
A. Hepburn, DR.. Thomas M,
Wilson and John H. Hiser. APP
proving the location were
Council President John A.
Floyd, Grover K. Walker and
Jerry T. Williams.
In a split tentative vote APP
proving the site last week, Miss
Diggs and Mr.. Walker had alb
stained, and Mr.. Hiser voted
for the project. Another visit
to the neighborhood prompted
him to change his mind, Mr..
Hiser said.
The Fire Departments plans

Called School Hazard
They complained, among
other things, the firehouse
would greatly increase traffic
congestion, and be a hazard
to children attending st. Ber-
nadette's school.
The site was backed by the
Montgomery County Planning
Board last Friday after its
technical staff reversed its
original report opposing the
location.
The Fire Department wanted
the property for a firehouse to

sFBl Makes 18th Arrest
In Oxon Hill Robbery

A Washington automobile re-
possessor was arrested by the
FBI and was charged early to-
day with helping the Oxon
Hill MD bank .,obbery gang
to steal the two cars used in
the $142,746 holdup last week.
John Kent Smith, AZ, of the
2400 block of Alabama avenue
Sc, was seized by FBI agents
about midnight at his home on
a complaint charging him with
aiding and abetting the ban
dit gang.
The FBI said Smith, a native
Of Prince Frederick, Md, sup
piled the gang with keys to
steal the two cars used in the
noldupf Of the Citizens Bank
of Maryland in the Eastover
Shopping Center on July 8.
Smith, VINO was held last
night in the Metropolitan Po-
lice central cell block, was
arraigned today before United
States Commissioner Sam
Wertleb and held in $4,000
bond.
Four Being Held
His arrest brings to four the
number Of persons being held
in connection with the hoIdup.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Davis, of
SO6s Atlantic street Sc, were
arrested last Thursday ON a
charge of aiding and abetting
the gang and the FBI said the
couple received a share OF the
loot for allowing their apart
ment to be used as a rerdez-
vous and headquarters.
Early Sunday, the FBI ar.
rested Roger John Ugaro, "a,
OF Orange, N. j., in an Atlantic
City motel and charged him
with bank robbery. He was de-
scribed as leader of the four
men who went inside the bank
with a sawed-off shotgun and
pistols to clean out the vault
and cash drawers.
The FBI yesterday revealed
the identities of the remaining
four members of the gang and
filed complaints charging them
with bank robbery. They listed
Warren A. Sims, 80, of Brock
lyn, N. Y, as the gang leader
who sat outside in one of the
stolen cars broadcasting short
wave radio instructions to the
four bandits inside.

The

Is Back
From Eastern Shore
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

We had corn on the cob
last night.
There's nothing remarkable
about that, You can buy
fresh corn any day Of the
year at the Supermarket.
But this was fresh-picked
corn, gathered before our
eyes yesterday afternoon
from a roadside field while
on our way, back from a sec
ond week end at Rehoboth.
It's quite an effort, you
know--it isn't easy, rather
to stop the car when it's
bowling along at so miles an
hour toward home,
At my direction, Mrs.
Rambler cut the motor at
the first roadside stand we
passed, applied the brakes at
the second and managed to
stop at a third.
Ears of sweet corn we're
piled high on the table. I be-
gan stripping them a bit
just enough to see whether
the kernels were small and
milky or mature and solid.
I was casting the latter aside.
Is please don't do that" said
the proprietor. "No one will
buy them II they're opened"
Tn at seemed reasonable
enough.
$50 you want young ears"
he said. Come on, we'll go
into the cornfield and you
show me The ones you want"

around it, was a patch Of
medium height. He knew
about corn. He talked like
a lecturer at a land grant
college.
This is Golden Beauty"
he said, "a trade-marked hy-
brid developed from the old
Golden Bantam.
The seed companies are
now applying to the sweet
corn crop the selective and
controlled breeding that rev.
olutionized the growing Of
regular corn.
rYou know how It's done.
The varieties to be crossed
are planted in parallel rows,
and covered with cheesecloth
when they start to ear to
keep windblown pollen
corn's natural method of
fertilizing-from getting in.
"The pollen travels from
the tassels to the silk. The
corn in the row that is to
produce seed Is made all
female by removing the tas-
sells. 1t has to be cross-fer-
tilted by the variety in the
other row.
THAT makes the ears
larger and uniform in size.
Selling seeds for the big corn
crop is a big business. Every
year statesmen from seed
companies arrive on the
shore to sell the farm supply
houses.
They make a point of
calling on farmers who have
good fields beside the big
highways so they will display
the signs of this or that seed
company beside the corn

Sweet corn is a small crop.
It's largely an Eastern crop.
About one-fourth of the total
acreage is in three States,
Pennsylvania, New York and
New Jersey. Delaware and
Maryland-the Eastern Shore
has about 1000 acres, one
per cent of the national
total.
cts a tiny crop compared
with the corn that feeds hogs
and cattle and makes olIr
grits and corn flakes and
corn bread. The big corn
crop is grown on so million
acres. Only 100000 acres are
planted with sweet corn.
That's three-tenth of one
per cent in acres, and less
than that in bushels"

ANSWER

No. 4. Sweep TO outside. OF
course, sooner or later. we're
going to trap that hard-charg-
ing guard. But let's make sure
he's still eager. The sweep to
the outside is a good first down
play because 1t has good yard
age possibilities, more than the
quick opener. which is usually
run to the other side. This
is a good passing down because
defense has to defend against
both pass and run. But sweep
gives better opportunity TO OBJ

ACC OUTLOOK
Virginia Appears Headed
For Long, Hard Season
BY STEVE GUBACK
Star Staff Writer

The first thing q football vis-
istor to the University Of Vir-
ginia sees these days is neither
Scott Stadium nor the site of
the proposed new fieldhouse.
It's John Naponik, the 6-foot-
9h, 295-pound freshman Bill
Elias has recruited.
After this, introductions are
made to Don Parker, a 800
pound guard who won't play
this year, and to Halfback
Carroll Jarvis, another highly
regarded freshman.
A varsity? Oh, yes, Virginia
has one.
It may not be as glamorous
as the 14-caret frosh gems. but
it's the team Virginia will have
to play with. However, there
seems to be the distinct feeling

ming second string now because
of a knee injury. Trouble is,
there aren't enough.
The answer, of course, would
be Naponik and Parker, who
has asked to be red-shirted, if
they would or could play. "I
don't think anybody in the
ACC, the Big 10 or the South
eastern Conference can push
these two around" Elias says.
"One reason for II minor in
juries we've already had" Elias
adds, "iS that when they fall
on a pile, we automatically
have to scratch out four
players"
Whatever Virginia may lose
this season, it isn't likely to be

Soph quarterback to start in
the ACC. A 205-pounder, Dun

Soph fireball who could be a

Massie and Terry Sieg are the
chief running backs. Sieg, the
top returning rusher, averaged
5.4 per carry a year ago, but
Elias rates him highest as a
defensive back. Before long,
Tom Krebs ana John Pincav-
age, two more sophs, should be
in the picture. Both have
