Last week brought new accord between planning and highway officials on the question of the downtown area bridge, which would tie into major Virginia roads and have a main connec- tion on the District side with Twenty-fourth street. Twenty-fourth street would be developed as a major north- south expressway, but connect also with Constitution avenue and other main streets. The bridge would pass just south of the controversial Roosevelt Me- morial Island, D.C.'s 15fh Polio Case Os Year Is Boy, 4 The District’s 15th pblio case of the year was reported to the Health Department |pday. The case was that of a 4-year- old colored boy who lives in the 1300 block of Fifth street N.W. He became ill last Tuesday and was taken to Children’s Hospital. Last year at this time, the de- partment said, there had been 24 cases. On a national scale. mean- while, the Foundation for Infan- tile Paralysis announced it has | been forced to slash requests for emergency aid. Basil O’- Connor, president of the organi- zation, said no relief is in sight, until after an Emergency March of Dimes, August 16 to 31. He said the number of cases reported nationally by the Public Health Service so far this year is 20 per cent higher than the average for the same period over the last five years. Policeman' to Face Board In Striking of Prisoner A No. 2 Precinct policeman has been charged with striking a prisoner on the head with a property record book at the sta- tion house. The officer, Pvt. Harold W. Dixon, 40, a veteran of 14 years on the force, will face a trial board at 10 a.m. next Friday. The police charge specifies that Pvt Dixon, while assigned as a station clerk, July 3, “with- out just cause violently struck” a prisoner on the head with a book. The man, Mose Ballard, col- ored, 58, of 413 New York ave- nue N.W., filed a complaint with the department through his at- torney, Jack M. Steinberg. Lt. John W. Nally, of No. 2, said Ballard had been picked up at his house on a drunk charge, and, while the officer was book- ing him, the prisoner took a swing at Pvt Dixon.

Stanley to Get Plea for Study Os Milk Board Immediate Survey To Be Requested By Mag ruder Delegate J. Maynard Magruder of Arlington today announced plans to ask the Governor for an immediate study of the Vir- ginia Milk Commission. Mr. Magruder, who sponsored an unsuccessful resolution at the last session of the General As- sembly for a Milk Commission survey, declared'he would solicit the support of Mark W. Turner, Milk Commission chairman, in requesting the study. After a hearing this week be- fore the commission in Rich- mond, Mr. Turner said he would not object to a legislative study of his agency as proposed re- cently by the Virginia Agricul- ture Conference Board. But Mr. Turner said he could not agre£ that the agency should be abolished:.. , “Since Mr. Turner does not object to a study, I hope he sees fit to join with me in re- questing the Governor to order one now instead of waiting for action of the next General Assembly,” said Mr. Magruder. Two Causes Possible. The Arlington delegate said Gov. Stanley' could appoint a special commission to make the study, or could refer it to the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council. Mr. Magruder and Delegate Moscoe Huntley of Richmond, introduced a resolution at the last General Assembly session requesting the study. According to Mr. Magruder, the resolution was defeated by the House Agri- culture Committee with the help of the Virginia Milk Commission. JSupport for the proposed legis- lative study also came today from the Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers’ Association, representing about 2,000 dairy farmers that supply the Wash- ington area. W. B. Hooper, assistant mana- ger of the association, said he thought a legislative study was an excellent idea. “The commission has hpen operating 17 years,” said Mr. Hooper. “Ibelieve it has done a good overall job, but a study might show if some of its pro- cedures should be revised.” Will Ask Full Probe. Mr. Huntley said he plans to reintroduce at the next session of I of the commission. Mr. Huntley’s announcement came after two of the Assembly’s farm leaders said they felt the move might be a “good idea.” State Senator Lloyd C. Bird of Chesterfield and Delegate Charles Waldrop qj Amelia indi- cated they did not want the study to be a prelude to reducing the commission’s powers. House Member Figures In Traffic Mishap Police reported a slight traffic collision last night involving a car driven by Representative Dondero, Republican, of Michi- gan. Police said the accident took place at North Capitol and F streets at about 11:15 p.m. They gave this account: Mr. Dondero and another driver, George E. Oliver, 28, of the 200 block of East Windsor avenue, Alexandria, listed as a laborer, were going south on North Capitol street. They stopped at a red light at F street. As Mr. Oliver started to move on the caution light and stopped again, Mr. Dondero’s car col- lided with it from behind, caus- ing about S2O worth of damage.

Marooned in Miami, 11 Penguins Destined For Zoo May Die Eleven penguins destined for the Zoo were marooned in Miami today, facing extinction unless air transportation is quickly fur- nished them. They were flown by Pan Amer- ican Airlines from Santiago, Chile, to Miami with the under- standing that another commer- cial airline was to complete the circuit to Washington, Yester- day the airline decided it could not carry the birds. When the transportation ar- rangement broke down, one of the delicate birds died in Miami. A like fate awaited the others unless a quick trip to the Zoo could be arranged. Both the military and another commercial airline was asked to help. The commercial airline balked on the grounds it did not carry animals and no military planes able to handle the job were in the vicinity. The birds were consigned to the Zoo with the assistance of Admiral Richard Byrd, the noted explorer. Originally they were to have gone to Cleveland wfor an exhibition of a refrigerated box. When the birds failed to arrive in time for the exhibition they were rerouted direct to the Zoo. The birds are Humboldt pen- guins. The Zoo has three of this type, but Dr. William M. Mann, the Zoo director, was looking forward to enlarging the family. Lawrenson Held On Hotel Bill Charge Charles E. Lawrenson, freed last month when the Municipal Court dismissed a charge against him of violating the baby broker- age law, today was charged with an unpaid board bill and with hiding mortgaged property. Lawrenson, 29, was placed under SSOO bond by Municipal Court Judge Nadine L. Gallagher, who continued his hearing until August 27. He is charged with failure to pay a bill of $196 to the Shoreham Hotel. He also is charged with hiding a 1950 auto which he purchased in 1953 from the Motor Credit Corp., 500 block of H street N.E. Police said he made his last payment last fall but that he still owes $996 on it and the company hasn’t seen him since. A year ago Lawrenson was charged with violating the baby brokerage statute here. A co- defendant, Rlva Walker Peckelis, was given a suspended sentence. Lawrenson, who was not appre- hended until this spring, waa freed when the chief Govern- ment witness refused to return from New York to prosecute. Both Mrs. Peckelis and Law- renson are under indictment on a charge of fraudulently obtain- ing a FHA home-improvement loan. School for Retorded RICHMOND. Va., Aug. 6 (ff). —A charter was granted yester- day to the Arlington Association for Retarded Children, a non- profit organization which plans to operate a school for such youngsters. William H. Moore is president pf the association. The charter was issued by the State Corporation Commission. A bill designed to bring tax relief to distillers who have more aged whisky than they can sell has created a rift in the liquor industry. The bill, passed by the House and pending on the Senate cal- endar, would allow distillers to keep their whisky in Internal Revenue bonded warehouses for 12 years before paying the $10.50 a gallon excise tax. The limit now is eight years. A section of the bill which aroused the wrath of one major distiller Schenley Industries, Inc.—forbids labeling whisky as more than eight years old, even though it may be anywhere from eight to 12 years old. The Senate Finance Committee has explained that the opinion of the public that the older whisky is, the better it is, is responsible for that provision. The committee pointed out that the bigger distillers, who can afford to keep whisky longer, would have an advantage over their smaller competitors if they were permitted to label the whis- ky as 10 years or 12 years old. Misrepresentation Seen. Schenley’s position is that forcing a distiller to say that whisky is 8 "years old when it may be older, is misrepresenta- tion. The warehouse situation re- sponsible for the pending bill is this: The liquor industry has in storage 16.5 million gallons of 8-year-old whisky which, under the present law, must be taken out of the warehouse and the tax on it paid this year. Next year, the amount in stor- age will be 26.2 million gallons, the Internal Revenue Service es- timates, and in 1956 it will have grown to 88.8 million gallons. The amount of 8-year-old whisky sold in a year—again es- timated by the Internal Revenue Service—ls between 5 and 10 mil- lion gallons. The distillers say it is virtually impossible for them to prepay the $10.50 a* gallon tax on the balance in storage before it is sold. The uncertainty of the times has been deemed responsible for the heavy production of whisky and the resultant bulging ware- Liquor Industry Split on Bill For Surplus Whisky Tax Relief houses. The liquor industry had faced a similar overproduction period in 1939 and 1940, but World War H, with its cut-off of liquor production, took care of those stocks. Liquor industry spokesmen say that they don’t want to be caught short in the event of another major conflict. The controversial labeling and advertising' provision of the pending bill was worked out by the House Ways and Means Committee as a compromise be- tween two opposing factions in the liquor industry. When the bill went to the Senate, the Finance Committee- of that body added a penalty. This says that any one who ac- cepts the privilege of keeping his whisky up to 12 years also must comply with the provision that it not be labeled as more than, 8 years old. Otherwise, he will be forced to take all of his whisky from the warehouse and pay the tax. Protested as Heaviest Fine. A Schenley spokesman said this is the heaviest fine ever proposed for violation of a law in the United States. The spokesman added that in its present form, the bill provides no penalty for the speculator, who could buy the more-than-8- years-old whisky, label it as 10 or 12 years old, pay the tax, and sell it. The speculator would face no penalty because he would have no warehoused liquor on which he would be forced to pay the tax. The present 8-year limitation was designed originally as a revenue measure, to prevent the holding of whisky for long periods without paying the ex- cise tax. The liquor industry eventually hopes to have all storage restric- tions removed, with the tax to be paid only when the liquor is sold. Schenley feels that the restric- tions work as a discrimination against United States distillers. The company says that there are no warehouse restrictions on Scotch and Canadian distillers, who compete in the American market.

Rain Aids Crops and Pastures, But a Lot More Is Needed Everybody felt a little better about the weather today—the extreme heat was off for a few days, the parched earth had lapped up some moisture and all signs pointed to a pleasant im- mediate future. Last night’s rain measured .85 of an inch at the Weather Bu- reau’s Airport station. Better than that, it was fairly general throughout Maryland and Vir- ginia, extending into Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey, and ac- cumulating upwards of 2 inches in some spots. ' It couldn’t be considered of drought - breaking proportions, but the results were heartening to farmers, gardeners and home- owners. Though much more rain is needed after the long dry spell, considerable aid was re- ported to crops and pastures. The total this week now meas- ures 1.04 inches. But the year’s total rainfall still is 7.32 Inches below normal. After that, the Weather Bu- reau saw more dry days, at least through Wednesday, but pleas- ant days of near-normal tem- peratures. Normals are 85 high and 68 low. Last night’s low was a rather sensational 65 at 6:25 a.m. The water supply situation im- proved enough for the Virginia Corporation Commission to re- lax somewhat the restrictions on water use in Fairfax County and ' Alexandria. The public now will be permitted to water flowers and wash cars with water car- ried in cans. The use of hoses is still forbidden. Commercial users also may take water from inside connections for business purposes.' Although the water reserve was reported improved in Mont- gomery and Prince Georges Counties, the ban on non-essen- tial use remained intact. D. C. Entries Leading Iji Contract Bridge * Championship Here By Margaret L. Fisher The 1954 National contract bridge championships continued today at the Mayflower Hotel with a record entry of 256 pairs competing for the men’s title and 218 pairs contesting for the women's title. Washingtonians took the lead in both events. Alvin Roth, top-ranking Dis- trict star, paired with Tobias Stone, of New York, to lead the first of two qualifying sessions yesterday in the men’s event with 216 match points out of a possible 312. Paul Kibler and Israel Oohen, both of Washing- ton, are in second spot with 204 points In the women’s contest Mrs. Michael Michaels and Mrs. Jen- ny Bryant, both of Washington, hold the lead, registering 209 points. Julie Mitchell, of Chat- tanooga and Florence Weil, both of Detroit, are second with 206 V 2 . Final qualifying session in both events will be held this after- noon, championship rounds to- morrow. Seventy Teams Contesting. Seventy teams began competi- tion last night for the important title event of the entire tourney, the master team-of-four cham- pionship. The winning team will eventually represent the United States in an international match against the European champions, who will be selected in Switzer- land next month. Knockout matches will be held through Sunday afternoon, when the quarter-finals are reached. The contest then continues among the eight surviving four- somes in round-robin fashion until the winner is decided. Practically every American and Canadian bridge expert has en- -1 Tolled in the event. Survive Initial Round. Washington area players : whose teams survived last night’s I initial knockout round included Alvin Roth, Paul Kibler, Isreal Cohen, Richard Freeman, A. K. Darby, George Black, Robert Blerly, E. G. Harris, Charles C. Lovenberg and Michael Michaels. Miss Hathaway Price and Har- vey Boney, both of Jacksonville, N. C., won yesterday afternoon’s special pair game. Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Griffen, of Silver Spring, were fourth. Top scorers in a field of 400 pairs competing in last night’s pair game were Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Wessel, of Philadelphia. Mrs. Roger Allen and G. P. Gra- ham, finishing third, led the Washington pairs entered. Mrs. Marianne Boschan and Mrs. J. A. Weber were fifth.

L Michael Star Staff Correspondent LEONARDTOWN, Md„ Aug. 6. —Joseph D. Weiner, his cousin, Abe Weiner, and John Orville Staples of Washington, will not be tried in Maryland on con- spiracy* indictments stemming from accusations made by Radio Commentator Fulton Lewis, Jr. Circuit Judges John B. Gray, Jr„ and J. Dudley Dlgges dis- missed the true bills yesterday after ruling that St. Marys County courts are without juris- diction. Judge Digges, however, in- structed the State’s Attorney’s office to forward its information in the cases to District authori- ties. The/three were charged with conspiring to violate gam- bling and prostitution laws. Ends Series of Moves. The court’s action ended a series of legal moves and counter-moves started here last week when the State asked for a change of venue. Defense counsel opposed the shift and demanded more spe- cific information on the charges. At that time, the court said the indictments listed Washing- ton as the place where the al- leged conspiracy occurred and told prosecutors they must tia in St. Marys County to establish Maryland jurisdiction. This the State failed to do in an amended bill of particulars, the judges ruled yesterday, after a long conference in chambers. The decision climaxed nearly two years of bitter controversy between local politicians and Mr. Lewis. Feud Brings Indictments. As a result of the feud, Mr. Lewis was himself indicted along with seven couhty tavern keep- ers. Four, of the latter were convicted of furnishing liquor to minors. Perjury and* criminal libel charges against Mr. Lewis were dropped. Indictments against the trio were based on charges that they met Lewis’ agents in a wired Washington hotel room and with them engineered a conspiracy to violate State gambling and im- morality laws and to obstruct justice. In his answer to defense de- mands for more particulars, State Attorney Joseph A. Mattingly ; said the alleged conspiracy ; was entered Into “partly In : St, Marys County and partly In Washington, D. C.” Irv sup- port of his contention he pre- ¦ sented excerpts of alleged con- ! versa tlons the defend- : ant and two private detectives ! hired by Mr. Lewis, who posed as : agents of a big-time gambling syndicate. ' The detectives were identified ' as Lloyd Furr, alias Lloyd F, ' Simmons, and Leonard Harrel- son, alias Leonard Knighton. Abe Weiner was represented by A. Gwynn Bowie of Upper Marl- boro. Counsel for Joseph iB. Weiner and Staples were State Senator Paul J. Bailey, Philip H. Dorsey, a candidate in the last | primary for State’s Attorney General, and his law partner, , William O. E. Sterling. , Warning Is Served On Food Vendors For Legion Influx I Food vendors, stationary and i mobile, soon to be overrun by , American Legion crowds, le- ceived stern admonishments from District health authorities I today. i The warnings seemed reason- . able: s “Serve only,clean, wholesome, well-prepared' food, drink or i other refreshments,” declared W.

Mr. Burdette also wished to go on record in favor of keeping rats and bugs out of the edibles, s and to keep the food at least 45 ® degrees Fahrenheit cool and well ' ventilated as well. 1 Gummy substances also seemed to give the Health Department , an intestinal wrench. “Don’t serve custard-type or '• cream-filled pastry during this (week of August 29) hot !> weather,” Mr. Burdette pleaded.

Delegate J. Maynard Magruderof Arlington today announcedplans to ask the Governor foran immediate study of the Vir-ginia Milk Commission.

Mr. Magruder, who sponsoredan unsuccessful resolution at thelast session of the General As-sembly for a Milk Commissionsurvey, declared'he would solicitthe support of Mark W. Turner,Milk Commission chairman, inrequesting the study.

After a hearing this week be-fore the commission in Rich-mond, Mr. Turner said he wouldnot object to a legislative studyof his agency as proposed re-cently by the Virginia Agricul-ture Conference Board. But Mr.Turner said he could not agre£that the agency should beabolished:.. ,

“Since Mr. Turner does notobject to a study, I hope hesees fit to join with me in re-questing the Governor to orderone now instead of waiting foraction of the next GeneralAssembly,” said Mr. Magruder.

Two Causes Possible.The Arlington delegate said

Gov. Stanley' could appoint aspecial commission to make thestudy, or could refer it to theVirginia Advisory LegislativeCouncil.

Mr. Magruder and DelegateMoscoe Huntley of Richmond,introduced a resolution at thelast General Assembly sessionrequesting the study. Accordingto Mr. Magruder, the resolutionwas defeated by the House Agri-culture Committee with the helpof the Virginia Milk Commission.

JSupport for the proposed legis-

lative study also came today

from the Maryland and VirginiaMilk Producers’ Association,representing about 2,000 dairyfarmers that supply the Wash-ington area.

W. B. Hooper, assistant mana-ger of the association, said hethought a legislative study wasan excellent idea.

“The commission has hpenoperating 17 years,” said Mr.Hooper. “Ibelieve it has done agood overall job, but a studymight show if some of its pro-cedures should be revised.”

Will Ask Full Probe.Mr. Huntley said he plans to

reintroduce at the next session ofI of the commission.

Mr. Huntley’s announcementcame after two of the Assembly’sfarm leaders said they felt themove might be a “good idea.”

State Senator Lloyd C. Birdof Chesterfield and DelegateCharles Waldrop qj Amelia indi-cated they did not want thestudy to be a prelude to reducingthe commission’s powers.

Marooned in Miami,11 Penguins DestinedFor Zoo May Die

Eleven penguins destined forthe Zoo were marooned in Miamitoday, facing extinction unlessair transportation is quickly fur-

nished them.They were flown by Pan Amer-

ican Airlines from Santiago,

Chile, to Miami with the under-standing that another commer-cial airline was to complete thecircuit to Washington, Yester-day the airline decided it couldnot carry the birds.

When the transportation ar-rangement broke down, one of

the delicate birds died in Miami.A like fate awaited the others

unless a quick trip to the Zoocould be arranged.

Both the military and anothercommercial airline was asked tohelp. The commercial airlinebalked on the grounds it did notcarry animals and no militaryplanes able to handle the jobwere in the vicinity.

The birds were consigned tothe Zoo with the assistance ofAdmiral Richard Byrd, the notedexplorer. Originally they wereto have gone to Cleveland wforan exhibition of a refrigeratedbox. When the birds failed toarrive in time for the exhibitionthey were rerouted direct tothe Zoo.

The birds are Humboldt pen-guins. The Zoo has three ofthis type, but Dr. William M.Mann, the Zoo director, waslooking forward to enlarging thefamily.

A bill designed to bring tax

relief to distillers who have moreaged whisky than they can sellhas created a rift in the liquorindustry.

The bill, passed by the Houseand pending on the Senate cal-endar, would allow distillers tokeep their whisky in InternalRevenue bonded warehouses for12 years before paying the $10.50a gallon excise tax. The limitnow is eight years.

A section of the bill whicharoused the wrath of one majordistiller Schenley Industries,Inc.—forbids labeling whisky asmore than eight years old, eventhough it may be anywhere fromeight to 12 years old.

The Senate Finance Committeehas explained that the opinionof the public that the olderwhisky is, the better it is, isresponsible for that provision.

The committee pointed outthat the bigger distillers, whocan afford to keep whisky longer,

would have an advantage overtheir smaller competitors if they

were permitted to label the whis-ky as 10 years or 12 years old.

Misrepresentation Seen.Schenley’s position is that

forcing a distiller to say thatwhisky is 8 "years old when itmay be older, is misrepresenta-tion.

The warehouse situation re-sponsible for the pending bill isthis:

The liquor industry has instorage 16.5 million gallons of8-year-old whisky which, underthe present law, must be takenout of the warehouse and the taxon it paid this year.

Next year, the amount in stor-age will be 26.2 million gallons,the Internal Revenue Service es-timates, and in 1956 it will havegrown to 88.8 million gallons.

The amount of 8-year-oldwhisky sold in a year—again es-timated by the Internal Revenue

Service—ls between 5 and 10 mil-lion gallons. The distillers sayit is virtually impossible forthem to prepay the $10.50 a*

gallon tax on the balance instorage before it is sold.

The uncertainty of the timeshas been deemed responsible forthe heavy production of whisky

and the resultant bulging ware-

Liquor Industry Split on BillFor Surplus Whisky Tax Relief

houses. The liquor industry hadfaced a similar overproductionperiod in 1939 and 1940, butWorld War H, with its cut-offof liquor production, took careof those stocks. •

Liquor industry spokesmen saythat they don’t want to becaught short in the event ofanother major conflict.

The controversial labeling andadvertising' provision of thepending bill was worked out bythe House Ways and MeansCommittee as a compromise be-tween two opposing factions inthe liquor industry.

When the bill went to theSenate, the Finance Committee-of that body added a penalty.

This says that any one who ac-cepts the privilege of keepinghis whisky up to 12 years alsomust comply with the provisionthat it not be labeled as morethan, 8 years old. Otherwise,he will be forced to take all ofhis whisky from the warehouseand pay the tax.

Protested as Heaviest Fine.

A Schenley spokesman saidthis is the heaviest fine everproposed for violation of a law

in the United States. Thespokesman added that in its

present form, the bill providesno penalty for the speculator,who could buy the more-than-8-

years-old whisky, label it as 10

or 12 years old, pay the tax,and sell it. The speculator wouldface no penalty because he wouldhave no warehoused liquor onwhich he would be forced to paythe tax.

The present 8-year limitationwas designed originally as arevenue measure, to prevent theholding of whisky for longperiods without paying the ex-cise tax.

The liquor industry eventuallyhopes to have all storage restric-tions removed, with the tax tobe paid only when the liquor

is sold.Schenley feels that the restric-

tions work as a discriminationagainst United States distillers.The company says that there areno warehouse restrictions onScotch and Canadian distillers,

who compete in the Americanmarket.

Rain Aids Crops and Pastures,But a Lot More Is Needed

Everybody felt a little betterabout the weather today—theextreme heat was off for a fewdays, the parched earth hadlapped up some moisture and allsigns pointed to a pleasant im-mediate future.

Last night’s rain measured .85of an inch at the Weather Bu-reau’s Airport station. Betterthan that, it was fairly generalthroughout Maryland and Vir-ginia, extending into Pennsyl-vania and New Jersey, and ac-cumulating upwards of 2 inchesin some spots. '

It couldn’t be considered ofdrought - breaking proportions,but the results were heartening

to farmers, gardeners and home-owners. Though much morerain is needed after the long dryspell, considerable aid was re-ported to crops and pastures.The total this week now meas-ures 1.04 inches. But the year’stotal rainfall still is 7.32 Inchesbelow normal.

After that, the Weather Bu-

reau saw more dry days, at leastthrough Wednesday, but pleas-

ant days of near-normal tem-peratures. Normals are 85 high

and 68 low. Last night’s low

was a rather sensational 65 at6:25 a.m.

The water supply situation im-proved enough for the VirginiaCorporation Commission to re-lax somewhat the restrictions onwater use in Fairfax County and

' Alexandria. The public now willbe permitted to water flowersand wash cars with water car-ried in cans. The use of hosesis still forbidden. Commercialusers also may take water frominside connections for businesspurposes.'

Although the water reservewas reported improved in Mont-gomery and Prince GeorgesCounties, the ban on non-essen-tial use remained intact.

Maryland BarsTrial of Trio onPlot Charges

St. Marys Is RuledWithout JurisdictionIn Row With Lewis

By J. L MichaelStar Staff Correspondent •

LEONARDTOWN, Md„ Aug. 6.—Joseph D. Weiner, his cousin,Abe Weiner, and John OrvilleStaples of Washington, will notbe tried in Maryland on con-spiracy* indictments stemmingfrom accusations made by RadioCommentator Fulton Lewis, Jr.

Circuit Judges John B. Gray,Jr„ and J. Dudley Dlgges dis-missed the true bills yesterdayafter ruling that St. MarysCounty courts are without juris-diction.

Judge Digges, however, in-structed the State’s Attorney’soffice to forward its informationin the cases to District authori-ties. The/three were chargedwith conspiring to violate gam-bling and prostitution laws.

Ends Series of Moves.The court’s action ended a

series of legal moves andcounter-moves started here lastweek when the State asked for achange of venue.

Defense counsel opposed theshift and demanded more spe-cific information on the charges.

At that time, the court saidthe indictments listed Washing-ton as the place where the al-leged conspiracy occurred andtold prosecutors they must tiain St. Marys County to establishMaryland jurisdiction.

This the State failed to do inan amended bill of particulars,the judges ruled yesterday, aftera long conference in chambers.

The decision climaxed nearlytwo years of bitter controversybetween local politicians and Mr.Lewis.

Feud Brings Indictments.As a result of the feud, Mr.

Lewis was himself indicted alongwith seven couhty tavern keep-ers. Four, of the latter wereconvicted of furnishing liquor tominors. Perjury and* criminallibel charges against Mr. Lewiswere dropped.

Indictments against the ‘ triowere based on charges that they

met Lewis’ agents in a wiredWashington hotel room and withthem engineered a conspiracy toviolate State gambling and im-morality laws and to obstructjustice.

In his answer to defense de-mands for more particulars, StateAttorney Joseph A. Mattingly

; said the alleged conspiracy; was entered Into “partly In

: St, Marys County and partlyIn Washington, D. C.” Irv sup-port of his contention he pre-

¦ sented excerpts of alleged con-! versa tlons the defend-

: ant and two private detectives! hired by Mr. Lewis, who posed as: agents of a big-time gambling‘ syndicate.

' The detectives were identified' as Lloyd Furr, alias Lloyd F,' Simmons, and Leonard Harrel-

son, alias Leonard Knighton.Abe Weiner was represented by

A. Gwynn Bowie of Upper Marl-’ boro. Counsel for Joseph iB.

Weiner and Staples were StateSenator Paul J. Bailey, Philip H.Dorsey, a candidate in the last

| primary for State’s AttorneyGeneral, and his law partner,

, William O. E. Sterling.
