Grange Day Held at Timonium
After 64,000 See State Fair
By James Birehfield
Star Staff Corr»*pond«nt
TIMONrUM, Md., Sept. 7.—
Grange Day was being observed at
the Maryland State Fair today after
a Labor Day crowd set a record for
attendance and the amount bet on
the races.
More than 64,000 persons, includ
ing 17,268 at the race track, yester
day broke the previous record of
62,191 set on Labor Day two years
ago.
The amount that passed through;
the pari-mutuel windows, $522,650,1
also topped the previous peak of
$490,256 set on Labor Day, 1946.
Roads leading to the fair grounds
north of Baltimore were snarled
by bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Poultry Judging Today.
Today’s program, which includes
poultry judging, is under the direc
tion of Edward F. Holter, master of
the State Grange.
Visitors will find that the best
that Maryland argriculture has will
be on display the remainder of this
week at the 67th annual fair.
Fat cattle, sleek dairy cows, sheep
with curled horns and lazy hogs,
are all here to show the farmer’s
city cousin what is being done in
the country.
And in the crop buildings are dis
plays of vegetables—squashes, beets,
okra and savoy cabbages—shocks of,
grain and stalks of corn. It is al
most the year end for the farmer
and these displays represent the
best of his summer's work.
The farm women are represented,
too. There are exhibits of hand
made quilts, rows of canned fruits
and garden products, bread and
cakes and cookies, all destined to
make the city man’s mouth water.
Livestock Judged.
Livestock judging by 4-H Club
teams was a feature yesterday.
The results of yesterday's judging
competitions will be announced to
night at the annual 4-H banquet.
As the agriculture section of the
State Fair got under way yesterday
special exhibits told the story of
agriculture to the city visitor. One
building was given over to displays
on soil conservation. Here minia
ture fields were laid out in contour
strips to show how Maryland soil
may be kept where it will do the
most good.
Dairy Industry Has Display.
Other buildings contained edu
cation dairy displays, showing the
value of the dairy industry both to
the farmer and to the urban resi
dent.
There was poultry, too, all kinds
of it, from mammouth geese to vest
pocket size chickens. Some were
dressed in gaily-colored plumed tur
bans, while others wore coats of
curled feathers, looking as though
they had been fished out of a pond
and their feathers had failed to dry.
Up on the midway was the ferris
wheel for the children, and along
the way were machinery displays.
Here the farmers could at least
look at the machinery they haven't
been able to buy.
Most of the city people who came
to the fair were out for a look at
the races on Timonium's half-mile
track. In the livestock section, the
judging of Percheron horses and
Holstein cattle drew the largest
crowds.
Belgian Astronomers Seek
Congo Observatory Site
By tht Associated Pross
BRUSSELS, Sept. 7—Two Belgian
astronomers, Raymond Courtrez and
Lucien Boss, are in the Belgian Con
go to find an emplacement for an;
observatory, a Belgian Colonial Min
istry spokesman said today.
•'Their work is sponsored by the |
official institute for scientific re- j
search in Central Africa, on whose
Board of Directors is Harlow Shap
ley of Harvard's observatory," the
spokesman said.
“These activities are purely scien
tific in character and have nothing
to do with the Belgian Congo urani
um. They do not justify any inves
tigation by the Un-American Activ
ities Committee of the United States
Congress. The place where the ob
servatory will be erected has not yeti
been chosen.’’
In Washington yesterday the com
mittee was said to be investigating
reports that international scientists
1 planned to star gaze from the mid
dle of the Belgian Congo uranium
fields.

Two Fugitives Seized
In Slaying, Abduction
Of New Orleans Police
ly th» Associated Prsss
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 7.—State
police said today two armed fugi
tives sought In connection with the
slaying of a New Orleans detective
were captured without a fight at
Galvez, La., early this morning.
Supt. of State Police Goldman
Grant said the arrest was made by
City Marshal ‘"Red” Bourque of
Gonzales. 5 miles from Galvez, and
State Trooper L. E. Wright, Jr., sta
tioned at Gonzales.
Supt. Grant said the two are
being taken to the Ascension Parish
(County) jail at Donaldsonvllle. He
said they were armed with four
pistols but made no attempt to re
sist arrest.
Officers Walked In.
He said they were taken at a
store in Galvez, where they appar
ently had gone for breakfast. He
said the two officers "just walked
in and arrested them.”
Gonzales is a few miles from
Hobart, where the gunmen last
night released John J. Jackson, as
sistant chief of New Orleans de
tectives, after abducting him from
police headquarters here.
Police identified the pair as Dale
Simpson, 26, of Salt Lake City, the
alleged slayer of Detective Nicholas
Jacob, and H. E. Miller, 23, a native
of Montlcello, Miss.
Chief Jackson early today told of
the tense seven hours he spent with
the fugitives driving over a maze
of backwoods roads.
' Mr. Jacobs was slain yesterday
morning as he and Detective Joseph
Tardo were returning to New Or
leans with Miller and Simpson from
Gulfport, Miss., where Miller had
been arrested on a melt cnarge
sworn to by Simpson.
Miller and Simpson subsequently
hitchhiked to New Orleans, seized
chief Jackson and his car at police
headquarters and forced the detec
tive to aid in their getaway.
They had been taken to police
headquarters by a truck driver with
whom they caught a ride.
Chief Jackson said Miller guarded
him closely during their long ride. |
"He clicked that trigger back a
hundred times and I died a hundred
times,” the assistant chief of detec
tives related.
‘Died Many Deaths.'
"•Every time we passed a car on
the road, Miller, who was riding In
the front seat with me, would click
back the trigger of his automatic.
And every time he clicked it, I died
again. I was sure they intended to
kill me. but I didn’t know when it
would come.”
Chief Jackson said he sought to
persuade the men to give themselves
up—and prayed for his life under his
breath as he did so.
The warrant sworn to by Simpson
charged Miller with taking *450 in
cash and a pistol while the two
were roommates at a downtown New
Orleans hotel last week.
Mr. Tardo said the pistol, with
which Mr. Jacob was later shot in
the neck, was returned empty to
Simpson just before the quartet
started on the 90-mile trip back to
New Orleans.
The surviving officer said Mr.
Jacob was shot as they neared the
outskirts of town and that as he
twisted in the driver's seat he saw
the pistol in Simpson’s hand. He
said he does not know what made
Simpson turn on them.
After being forced to drive to a
lonely road where Jacob’s body was
thrown into a cluster of bushes, Mr.
Tardo managed to escape from the
car.
The two gunmen, meanwhile, had
thumbed a ride on Highway 90 irtto
New Orleans with Thomas Stayton,
a New Orleans truck driver. Mr.
Stayton, ordered at gunpoint to
drive to Baton Rouge, suddenly
swerved into the police exit as they
passed headquarters. He leaped
from the car as Miller and Simpson
fired at him, but he found refuge
behind a group of palm trees.
Simpson and Miller then leaped

men. —A. P. WirephotO.
into ( .et Jackson's car, in which
the ciiicer was Just leaving head
quarters for lunch, and ordered him
to drive off.
On his return to New Orleans
early today, Chief Jackson said they
had spent most of the afternoon
driving up and down country roads.
The gunmen told him several times
that they did not intend to kill •him,
but would turn him loose when it
became dark.
Chief Jackson said that Simpson
wore two guns strapped around his
waist at all times. Miller, he added,
also carried two revolvers.

The Federal Spotlight .4, •
Longer Annoyed by Union
Opposition to Salary Board Plan
ly Joseph Young
Chairman Longer of the Senate Civil Service Committee is
said to be very much annoyed with some Government union
officials who have opposed his plan to set up salary boards to
fix the wages of all Federal employes.
These union people gave a most frigid reception to the idea
of abolishing the Government’s Classification Act setup in favor
of Government salary boards. They
felt that this would not result In
Increased wages for the average Fed
eral worker, but rather would mean
less money.
The ATL Amer
ican Federation
of Government
Employes at Its
P h 11 a d e lp hia
convention last
week formally
went on record
as rejecting the
proposal, declar
ing it would
be "disastrous”
for Government
workers.
Senator Ling
er feels that It
would greatly
J*M>k Tn»f.
help Government workers—tnat 11
would end their dependence on the
• generosity” of Congress for pay ad
justments every time living costs
went up.
Senator Langer Is said to be par
ticularly irritated by union opposi
tion because he feels the plan would
strengthen unionism in the Federal
service. One of the provisions
would give Government union of
ficials equal representation on the
salary boards with Federal officials.
This, it is argued, would give
Government unions a powerful
selling point in their drive to organ
ize the built of Federal employes.
It’s contended that one of the great
difficulties of organizing Federal
workers is the fact that Govern
ment employe groups, unlike other
unions, have ho direct bargaining
voice at present when it comes to
COMMISSION—The White House
has offered the vacant job of Civil
Service Commissioner to an 82-year
old top Government personnel
official.
The omciai in question nas a ions
background of Federal personnel
experience. A Republican, he would
replace Republican member Arthur
S. Flemming who resigned recently.
If the official accepts the Job—
and he is reported to be pondering
a decision at the moment—the
White House probably will make the
announcement sometime this week.
Even though the appointment
only would be a four-month interim
one—with the appointee’s future
depending on the outcome of No
vember's election—President Tru
man is said to feel that a Repub
liman member must be appointed
soon to forestall any criticism.
White House officials don’t want
to give the Republicans an oppor
tunity to charge that the adminis
tration is keeping a Republican
member off of the commission be
cause of a desire to "whitewash”
the loyalty investigation program
or any other personnel issue.
* * * *
CHARM—The new Secretary of
Labor, Maurice J. Tobin, has made
a big hit with rank-and-file Labor
Department employes since the
short time he has been in office.
Mr. Tobin’s charm and friendly
personality won his new employes
over in reoord time. And the Bos
ton Irishman’s good look* have
done nothing to hurt his popularity
with the department’s stenogra
phers and secretaries, who eagerly
crane their necks for a second look
whenever their new boss passes by.
Maybe that's what the Govern
ment needs—more handsome execu
tives to stimulate more loyalty and
efflpiency from the girls in their1
offices!

SECRETARIES—The Civil Serv
ice Commission announces the long
awaited examination for secretarial
jobs in the Government. These
jobs, which will have permanent
status, pay starting salaries of from
$3,974 to $3,737 a year.
Application forms may be secured
at the commission's main office,
Seventh and P streets N.W. And the
fllled-out applications must be filed
with the commission not later than
September 32. The exam will be
given some time this fall.

California Guard Is Told
If Must Keep Segregation
(y tht Asteciotcd Fr*»i
SACRAMENTO, Calif.. Sept. 7.—
The California National Guard must
continue segregation of white and
Negro troops or lose Federal appro
priations, Attorney General Fred N.
Howser ruled yesterday.
In an opinion handed down at
the request of Assemblyman Au
gustus Hawkins of Los Angeles, the
only Negro member of the State
Legislature, Mr. Howser said:,
"The authorized Federal authori
ties, having adopted a policy of
segregation of whites and Negroes
at the company level, such organi
zation policy must be followed by
the State. Neither the Governor
nor the Legislature can change that
policy.”
There are three Negro National
Guard battalions in California, two
in Los Angeles and one in San Fran
cisco, the Adjutant General's office
said.
Urban League Hears j
Plea for Negroes to 1
Seek Full Rights
»* Km AtMcnttd ttw
RICHMOND, Va„ Sept. T—An
official. of the National Urban
League said today that any con*
cession to the Negro people is en
couragement for them to hit harder
for the complete measure of citizen
ship.
"Any one among us who sells out
is dead, though he himself may be
lieve that he made the deal with
out witnesses," said Warren M.
Banner, director of research and
community projects of the Inter
racial organization dedicated to the
economic and social betterment of
the Negro.
Mr. Banner said in an address at
Virginia Union University, where
the league la holding Its annual con
ference: '.
“The philosophy of our movement
requires that the Urban League
work to assist colored persons In be
coming live participants In all the
various activities In the community.
Would Open Facilities.
"In accomplishing this aim the
league must get colored persons to
make use of existing facilities and
services, and if these are closed to
persons of color, it Is the league's
responsibility to work to open them.**
He told the group of some 300
delegates from Urban League groups
throughout the country that con
stant productive performance was
required or else the nonpolitical,
nonsectarlan interracial effort would
become "nonentity.” He added that
in some places it already was too
late, and went on:
"Our affiliations in private life
must be kept hidden on the Job
where we must work with all groups
interested in a common cause. It is
no secret that we are after full in
clusion in all of the benefits of
citizenship. It is known that we
are continuously trading to achieve
our goal. At the same time it is
also known that any concession
made to us is more encouragement
for us to hit harder for the com
plete measure.”

Negro audience was told by Edgar
Ray, managing editor of the Tampa
(Fla.) Daily Times, that the talk of
civil rights meant nothing unless
the hearts of a majority of the
people were in accord on human
rights. He said:
“I want to make one thing dear:
Partisan political controversy never
has. and never will, develop the
qualities of the human mind and
heart that will expand racial rela
tions and liberalism.
"Long after the Missouri Walts
returns to its" rightful place as a
piece of music—
"Long after Henry Wallace stops
trying to be afl things to all men in
America and Russia—
"Long after the bitter bourbon of
the Dixiecrats has gone down the
sink—
“There will be a crying need, as
there is today, for a hard-working;
ever-expanding urban league with'
basic human relations and needs as
its guideposts.”

In other—and better—words
Sometimes we try to tell you—our customers and friends—how
wc feel about our business. It is so much more to us than
a way to make a living.

Recently we re-read Christopher Morley's charming book "Where
the blue begins". In it he says:
"I have given my life to trade, and I have grown
weary of watching the half-hearted simpletons who
imagine they can rise to the top by thinking more
of themselves than they do about business. You,
Mr. Gissing, have won my heart. You jee store
keeping as I do—a fine art, an absorbing passion,
a beautiful, thrilling sport. It is an art as lovely
and subtle as the theatre, with the same skill in
wooing and charming the public”.
We wish we could have had the genius to express our own
feelings, so precisely.
