Baltimore, Saturday, INNING iN August 18, 1962 PAGE 18 PAGE 18 2 Policemen Undergo Emergency Surgery After Being Stabbed Democrats Talk Harmony, Shun Valle Topic By RICHARD POLLAK Maryland's top Democrats gathered at the Emerson Hotel today and talked harmony, carefully avoiding any formal discussion on the dissonant topic of Francis J. Valle. It had been hinted that a resolution would be introduced at the Grady Calls For BaiBill Agreement By SHELDON SMITH Mayor Grady briefly interrupted his vacation today to call for prompt agreement by the City Council's Judiciary Committee on a bill to control the activities of B-girls on The Block. The Mayor, who is motoring with his family to Canada, put in a telephone call to Baltimore. He said that' Councilman Henry R.

Hergenroeder Third), the committee chairman, on two oc casions promised to convene his committee to draft an acceptable "sitters" bill. View Expressed Failure of the committee to act promptly would mean that they fry i fx JL lJZlri i LEAPFROG A small foreign car hopped onto the back of an American station wagon last night near Laurel. Both cars were going in the same direction on Contee road just off Route 198 when the smaller vehicle went into a spin, turned over several times and flipped up onto the wagon. Police Disperse 1 ,000 In Racial Outburst Five Are Killed On Md. Roads Two city policemen underwent emergency surgery last night after being stabbed by an escaped mental patient whom they wanted to question about two earlier stabbings.

The men, Sgt. Charles Maisch and Patrolman William Cooper, of the K-9 Corps, were in "satis factory" condition at Church Home and Hospital this morning The suspect was seriously wounded when he was shot by Sergeant Maisch, with bullets lodging in his shoulder and spine. The man, now under police guard at Church Home and Hospital, was wanted for questioning concerning the stabbing early last night of Leroy Ladson, 27, of the 1500 block Ashland avenue, and Larry Bodger, 38, of the 1200 block Holbrook street. Both men were in serious condition at the Johns Hopkins HosDital from wounds in the back and arm, respectively. When the two policemen broke down the door of the man's apartment, in the first block North Eden street, he attacked them with an 11-inch hunting knife.

Struggled With Dogs Sergeant Maisch fired five shots at close range. The man continued to struggle with other policemen and K-9 dogs, but he then collapsed on the floor. The sergeant was taken to the hospital, where he was operated upon for stab wounds of the spleen and kidney by Dr. John A. O'Connor, chief police surgeon, and Dr.

J. W. Ashworth, deputy police surgeon. Patrolman Cooper was slashed in the left hand, and he underwent thumb surgery. He was exDected to be discharged today.

John Ward superintendent of Crownsville State Hospital, said the suspect had escaped from the hospital two months ago. He had been a patient at Crownsville for most of the past eight years and Continued, Page 11, Column 1J 480 To Compete meeting attacking Mr. Valle and the procedure by which he was nominated State's attorney this week.

However, by early afternoon no such resolution had materialized. Harmony Plea Instead, party leaders repeatedly stressed the importance of pulling together if Maryland Democrats are to be successful at the polls this fall. "We should be able to avoid some of the fracases we inevitably seem to find ourselves embroiled in," said Daniel B. Brewster, the Second district Congressman who is running for United States Senator. Representative Brewster, one of many speakers who sounded the same theme, didn't mention Mr.

Valle by name, but the fracas his nomination has caused among Democrats is as bitter as any in recent memory. While the afternoon session of today's meeting was taking place in a room on the mezzanine of the hotel, James H. (Jack) Pollack held his weekly get together with friends in a dining room below. An observer wondered out loud whether Mr. Pollack, Northwest Baltimore political leader, would be dropping in on the upstairs meeting.

"What Meeting?" "What meeting asked Mr. Pollack, as he smiled and sat down at his own gathering. Mr. Pollack opposed Governor Tawes in the recent primary and allegedly engineered the nomination of Mr. Valle.

Upstairs, three intrepid Republicans put in an appearance at the afternoon session, which was Continued, Page 11, Column 2 COMFORTS OFFICER Mrs. Pauline Marsch, evening supervisor at Church Home and Hospital, helps Patrolman William Cooper, Police Attackers To Go To Jail, Judge Says youngsters under James Smith, director of the South Baltimore-Sharp Street Playground of the Bureau of Recreation, prepared to leave. As they walked toward the street, police reported, an object struck William Gaymon, 15, of the 1100 block South Sharp street. He was treated for a cut under the eye. Eleven policemen were qalled.

They sent for reinforcements, including memebrs of the K-9 Corps. Sgt. John Scales testified today that 1,000 to 1,500 people gathered, that rocks were thrown, and that the crowd was "quite difficult to control." Police sent the Negro group back to the pool area for protection, he said, and began clearing the park "to protect everyone, including the women and children who were there." "These boys absolutely refused to move," he added, referring to the three who were arrested. "Place Is Dynamite" George W. Delia, attorney for the three, agreed that "the place up there is dynamite."

stone-throwing crowd estimated at more than 1,000 persons after an outbreak of racial tension yesterday at Riverside Park in South Baltimore. A police sergeant testified today that there was an explosive situation" as a group of Negro youngsters who had been using the swimming pool tried to leave the park near Fort avenue and Light street. Three men who were arrested when they refused to leave the park on police orders were granted probation before a verdict today in Southern Municipal Court. But Judge John A. McGuire warned that "I don't intend to tolerate this sort of thing Referring to plans for another group of Negro children to swim at the pool today, Judge McGuire told those in the courtroom: "If anything happens up there today, don ask tor mercy.

Prepared To Leave The incident began about 4.30 P.M. when the group of 2fi Negro only ten members of the eighteen- man committee. Both meetings nominated Mr. Valle to fill the vacancy created by the death of Saul A. Harris, the party's nominee, a week ago today.

Mr. Valle was second to Mr Harris in last May's Demo cratic primary contest for the office. Key Developments Yesterday, there were these key developments in the growing uproar over the Valle case: 1. Chief Judge Emory H. Niles signed an injunction order enjoining the Board of Supervisors of Elections from certifying any Democratic nominee for State's attorney, pending further order of the court.

t. At the same time, Judge Continued, Page 11. Column 1 By ROBERT BLAKE was reported the station houses only flew the flag on thirteen des ignated days of the year. Department headquarters, however, raised the flag every day. Chief Wineholt's flag decision came after a conference with Daniel H.

Burkhardt, department adjutant of the American Legion. Voluntary Basis Mr. Burkhardt, who was on the committee which wrote the flag code, said there is no law which would require the Baltimore at Calvert and Baltimore streets asked for jury trials and were held in $2,100 and $1,100 bail, respectively. Hitting And Kicking Kenneth G. Knight, 20, of the 1800 block Winans avenue, was charged with hitting Patrolman Harold Stein with his fist and kicking Detective Arden Livingstone.

Pete Ellison, 24, of the 400 block North Rose street, was also charged with striking Patrolman Stein with his fist. The men allegedly attacked the officers after Patrolman Stein investigated the car in which they were riding early this morning, which he said was blocking the intersection. The man who received the sentence was Nathan White, 43, of the 500 block West Mulberry street, who allegedly swung at Patrolman Robert Bieschke, of Central district, with a beer bottle. The policeman escaped injury by ducking the swing, and Tie then seized the man. Six-Month Sentence White was sentenced "to three months for the attempted assault, three months for assault by placing his hand on a woman, to be served consecutively, and a suspended ten-day sentence for disorderly conduct.

Mrs. Grace Kalaczynski, of the 3300 block Barbara avenue, said she had stopped for a traffic light at Mulberry and Greene streets last night when a man came up to her and made indecent remarks, reached inside the car- and grabbed her shoulder. She said she threw her car in gear, drove off, found Patrolman Bieschke, and told him what had happened. A block away they found a man whom she identified as her assailant. When Patrolman Bieschke went over to the man to question him.

he swung with the beer bottle, it was testified. Mrs. Kalaczynski identified White as her assailant at the trial today. He pleaded not guilty.

Valle maintained adamant silence today on the mounting controversy surrounding his nominations this week as Democratic candidate for State's "attorney. He said only that his attorneys were considering possible legal moves, but steadfastly declined to indicate what they might be. Mr.

Valle, former Orphans Court Judge, was nominated for the office twice this week at hastily called meetings of the Democratic State Central Commltiee of Balti more city. Pollack Aegis The meetings, under the ap parent aegis of James H. (Jack) Pollack, Northwest Baltimore political leader, were attended by Rule Rescinded are "derelict" in their duty, the Mayor said. Mr. Hergenroeder said he is trying to work out an acceptable compromise from the two "sit ters bills now before the com- mittee, one introduced by the Administration and the other by Councilman Frank X.

Gallagher Third). Mr. Hergenroeder said he will not be able to call a meeting of the Judiciary Committee until after Labor Day since he leaves tomorrow for two weeks of Army reserve training at Fort Lee, Va. Opposition Widespread Opposition to features of both the Administration and Gallagher ordinances is fairly widespread among councilmen. Both bills would prohibit female entertainers from soliciting drinks from customers of taverns or night clubs.

But the Administration bill goes a step farther by making it a crime for B-girls to sit or loiter at the same table with customers. Hunt Pressed For Bandits Police and the FBI continued their search today for the two gunmen who took $7,450 yesterday from a branch of the First National Bank in the Ritchie Highway Shopping Center. The two bandits were last seen leaving the bank in an old, dark car at 9.45 A.M. after holding five employees and a customer at gun point while they took the money from drawers. A report of a 1955 tan Buick proved erroneous.

In another hold-up, police caught three suspects within minutes after two armed men took $2,330 from a supermarket in the 5800 block, of, Belair, road last night. Selected Items From Shelves The pair, wearing dark business suits and straw hats, entered Eddie's Supermarket at 8.30 PM. and walked about, selecting items from the shelves. Leonard Shinosky, the man ager, said that at 8.40 p.M., they followed him into his office. pulled a gun and demanded money.

They began taking it from two cartons under the desk. The pair then jumped into a car sitting outside with a third man behind the wheel, and sped away.

Chief Wineholt. after his con ference with Mr. Burkhardt asked for a formal opinion in writing. Flag Code The Legion adjutant said that in addition to the opinion, each county fire station would receive copy of the flag code and etiquette book.

In addition to the formal opinion, Mr. Burkhardt, on behalf of the Legion, offered to dispose of the county's worn and unservice able flags with a prescribed rit ual and to supply flags, if nee essary, to the station houses. The American flag started flying over all eleven Baltimore county firehouses today.

In so doing the department rescinded a rule which stipulated the flag should be displayed only on certain days throughout the year. Fire Chief Winfield H.
