Bashful Fire Boat Grady Snafus In Spray Salute Shreve Seen Resigning Col. Arthur L. Shreve Is expected to resign as the city's civil defense director within the next ten days, Mayor Grady said today. Officially, Colonel Shreve, who Is now on sick leave, will continue in that status until he decides whether or not his health will permit him to return to work. But the Mayor, after a 40-j minute interview with the CD director this morning, said, "I am not optimistic about his He said he expects to receive a letter on the subject from Colonel Shreve within a week or ten days; he called the resignation "imminent." Replacement Sought In the meantime, the Mayor will search for a replacement for the director to preserve continuity at the top of the Civil Defense Organization.

The new director is expected to come from outside the ranks of, the organization. Carl J. Holub.J assistant director and acting head of the CD agency, is not being considered as director. The Mayor's choice will take the form of a recommendation to Governor Tawes, who officially appoints local civil defense directors. The Governor generally approves such recommendation routinely.

Colonel Shreve, citing a high blood pressure condition, went on sick leave October 23. His leave was to have ended tomorrow, but will now be extended until he informs the Mayor of his official decision. By DONALD The S.S. Export Banner received a well intentioned, but poorly placed welcome today from the Fire Department on its first visit to the Port of Baltimore. The new vessel was the first ship to test the Maryland Port Authority's new program of water-spray and horn-salute greeting for ships on maiden voyages.

All went well at first. The police boat Charles D. Gaither and several smaller craft escorted the freighter from Fort Carroll to Fort Mc-Henry. Boat Moves In It was at this point that the Fire Department was to play its important role in the welcoming program. The fire boat Mayor J.

Harold Grady was to move in close to the Export Banner and give a salute of water from her four powerful nozzles. Somehow signals got crossed and the fire boat, with water spraying, remained well off in the distance not very far from its dock at Fort McIIenry. Photographers aboard the tug Baltimore frantically waved, urging the Grady to get closer. Too Late Finally, the Baltimore radioed the Fire Department to have the Grady moved. By the time the message was relayed, however, of 73 Russian Readers Learn Of Hopkins's Dr.

J-t731 WHOLESALE PRICES for Zenith i RCA TV Brny 73 I BALTIMORE 6T BA l-ttJO 3bUi Caaiurr AEDUasa Liquor Board today decided not to charge under its rules persons acquitted of criminal charges In Municipal courts. This decision automatically wipes out charges that had been pending against a number of licensees on The Block, whose em ployees or patrons were acquitted in court. The sudden policy switch came folowing the first of a series of hearings before the board today, in which Block tavern owners were chraged with violating the board's regulations. "Double Jeopardy" At the outset of the case against Anthony J.

Glorioso, licensee of the Ritz Bar on The Block, Thomas F. McNully, Liquor Board chairman, raised the question of possible double jeopardy. He pointed out that the Liquor Board case against Mr. Glorioso stemmed from a Police Court case against a waitress employed at the Ritz. The waitress's case was dismissed by a magistrate on June 29 following a hearing on charges of soliciting for immoral purposes.

Police Testimony After a policeman testified as to the facts relating to the incident involving the waitress, the Liquor Board recessed for a few minutes and returned with its new policy decision. As a result, the official finding of the board in the case against Mr. Glorioso was recorded as no decision." Mr. McNulty said that the board will pursue cases arising from convictions and findings of probation before verdict in Municipal Courts. Other Cases Threa, other cases against licensees arising from alleged immoral acts of employees or patrons on today's agenda arose from court convictions.

Legal counsel for Mr. Glorioso objected to the presence of news- Continued, Page 42, Column 4J For ClhrSstinniasI sir Take Advantage of These Convenient Christmas Hours at Ayares or Universal 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. OF'EN FRIDAYS 'TIL 8:00 P.M. OPEN SATURDAYS 'TIL 1 :00 P.M.

Ayak Whiskey by HIRAM WALKER be made to avoid a compensating increase in the property-tax rate. If this goal can be achieved and most councilmen say it can the property-tax rate can be held to a maximum of $3.91 per $100 of assessed value next year.

This would be 31 cents above the current $3.60 rate, 2 Possible Ways The required $1,900,000 can be made up in two possible ways by cutting spending or by increasing revenues. Revenue raising, as generally accomplished by the Council, more often than not takes the form of upward revisions of reve nue estimates. Thus, where the budget director predicts a tax will bring in $1,000,000, the Coundi argues it will bring in $1,500,000. If the budget director gives into the argument, the budget gap is reduced by $500,000, To date, budget cuts totaling more than $1,600,000 have been proposed by individual council- men. Others are now drafting additional cuts.

Set The Pattern At the Tuesday night caucus, the proposed cuts will be reviewed and adopted or rejected dv ma jority vote. While the decisions of the Council caucus are not binding on the members, they gen erallv set the pattern for the public voting on the budget a day or two later. In the meantime, the public gets its last chance to influence the Council at a special taxpayers hearing scheduled for 2.30 P.M. tomorrow A taxpayers hearing set for last Friday was called off when the five. members of the public who appeared stormed out after only two councilmen were present NAVER article was being published in the United States as well.

Export Banner arrives In Dancer Claims Inducements By T. DENTON MILLER Sing Lee, night club dancer, said today in Criminal Court that a statement she gave to police last May was not voluntary and was offered in return for inducements. The dancer, whose real name is Mrs. Jan Valentino, is on trial on a charge of attempting to obstruct justice in the grand jury's investigation of rackets on The Block. Her lawyer's objections to the statement brought to the stand before Judge J.

Gilbert Prender-gast a parade of witnesses. These included police officers and the State's prosecutor of The Block trials, E. Thomas Maxwell, Jr. Immunity Promise Claimed Henry W. Stichell, repre senting Sing Lee, sought to show that the dancer and other women had been promised general im munity from prosecution for past offenses if they gave information to the police concerning vice and rackets, including the then mysterious shooting affair near the home of Edward Corbi, restaurant man, and the seizure and abduction of his lookout, Earl Fifer.

The State witnesses insisted immunity was offered the dancer and other entertainers only as to past offenses, although Mr. Maxwell conceded he had on one occasion used an expression dealing with "rackets." Convicted In Probe The dancer pleaded innocent to the charge of attempted obstruction of the grand jury inquiry, in which she appeared as a witness on June 6.
