W. CLAYTON TAKES POST ON HOPKINS BOARD New Trustee Was Under Secretary Of State For Economic Affairs f' I tiff 'Mr-, i Following that meeting Chep Morrison, Mayor of New Orleans, asked: "What have Baltimore, Philadelphia or any of the other cities done to promote their shipping business and develop new business? Have any of those cities matched our peerless International House which has attracted attention and envy throughout the world? Have they built an equivalent of our $1,500,000 International Trade Orleans's efforts in establishing Mart? Have they matched New representatives to build foreign trade? Can they give the service rendered by the great Port of New Orleans, -recognized by the Army as the nation's most efficient port?" Yesterday, spokesmen for the Association of Commerce and Baltimore's railcoads and water-front leaders described what they are doing and what should be done to bring port trade here. 1 Mil IMIIHMIIB I I II 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 7 HrlT the interior of the McShane Bell Foundry, which burned to ground. Even Shad Gad; Some Tagged Off Maine Found In Georgia McShane Bell Foundry Is Burned To Ground In 6-Alarm Blaze Two fires yesterday morning caused damages estimated at more than $200,000 and injured three persons, one of whom fell from a third-floor window of a burning residence.

Shortly after 2 A. the McShane Bell Foundry Company, in the 1600 block Clough street, was burned to the ground in a spectacular six-alarm blaze. The second fire, of unknown origin, routed six residents of 1813 North Broadway about 9 A. injuring three of them. Injured Listed The injured: MRS.

Mrs. Aguinaga fell from a third-story rear window onto a concrete pavement in the yard below in attempting to escape to an adjoining second-story roof. Second Building Damaged Tn tha fnnnrlrv firp fltl arliacent two-story building occupied by the Charles E. Hires Company, bottlers, was severely damaged, and quantities of furniture stored on the second floor of the. building by a storage concern were destroyed.

In addition, more than a dozen families in the 1700 block East 25th street had to vacate their homes when flames from the foundry building, less than 50 feet away, threatened to set the row houses on fire. At least ten of which were stored in the foundry building by the Hires Company, were destroyed. Steel Frame Structure The other truck was the property of the foundry, operated by William Parker, of the 5900 block Gwynns Falls avenue. Mr. Parker estimated damage to the foundry equipment alone at more than $50,000.

He said his loss was only partially covered by in surance. The foundry building, a one-story steel frame structure, with sheet metal siding, was divided by a partition, to make storage space for the bottling concern's trucks as well as for the storage of empty Dottles, quantities of which were destroyed. The building faced onto the Clifton siding of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and adjoined a Clifton Park playfield. Cause Is Unknown Flames, which at times reached several hundred feet into the air. set afire a small wooden building used for the storage of athletic equipment on the edge of the field.

More than a dozen trees lining the field were badly scorched as were flower gardens and residences whose backs faced the burning structure. Firemen still were applying water to the smoldering ruins eight hours after the blaze started. They would venture no explana tion of the cause of the fire. Firemen Investigating But Capt. Robert L.

Baker, of the arson squad, and Capt. Frank Pollack, of the Salvage Corps, spent yesterday morning inspecting the rubble and ruins. David Hettleman, 2503 Linden avenue, owner of both of the properties, estimated damage to both of the buildings in excess of He said both buildings were cov ered by insurance. Damages to equipment and supplies of the bottling company and to the stored furniture on the sec ond floor was estimated at $100,000 Fire Jumped Alley Julius Kastantin, manager of the Hires Bottling Plant, who lives at 68 Old Annapolis road, said the presence of fire doors in the brick building accounted for the fact that the fire damaged only aoout one quarter of the half-block long structure." He said a 20-foot alley separated the bottling plant from the foundry structure, but flames soon ate through the' roof of the plant. Mr.

Kastantin said considerable water damage was caused to boxes of empty bottles on the first floor (Continued on Page 16.

Murray. State's attorney for Howard county, announced yesterday. Mr.

Murray said he was granted permission to nol-pros the conspiracy charges after filing a peti-. tion before Judge James Clark, of the Circuit Court for Howard county in Ellicott City. Nineteen of the 21 defendants were sentenced to serve one year the House of Correction for gam bling after a trial which ended July 14. Judge Clark imposed the maxi mum penalty allowed by law. Choice In Going To Trial Mr.

Murray said yesterday that the conspiracy charges against the two men who were acquitted in the gambling trial have been dropped. Although there were indict ments charging both the commission of the crime and conspiracy to commit it, I chose to go to trial on the issue of the actual commission; Murray said yesterday. In many cases, conviction on the commission of a crime is not fol lowed by pressing the conspiracy indictment as well. There is prece dent in law that conviction on conspiracy charges brings no more severe penalties than conviction for the commission of the crime. Roadhouse Raided June 5 I felt in this case that no good purpose would be served by pressing the conspiracy charges.

So far as my office is concerned, the cases are closed." Rocway Towers, located on the Washington boulevard, one mile north of Laurel, was raided by State police under the personal supervision of Col. Beverly Ober, superintendent, on June 5. More than $32,000 in cash and a quantity of firearms were confis cated at the time. The raid was ordered by Governor Lane at the request of Mr. Murray, it was announced later.

During the trial, Mr. Murray linked Rocway Towers with the unsolved murder of Hunter Lewis, former convict, whose bullet-riddled body was found near the roadhouse last March 10. Woman Treated Tor Drag Found, in Patterson Park last night, an unidentified woman, about 35 years old, was treated at Johns Hopkins Hospital for an overdose of bichloride of mercury, police reported. ft WTO ff R-1 Liberty Federal offers you a convenient location Federal insurance of your savings up to $5,000.00 and attractive semi annual dividend payments.

Has New Name was out of town on vacation, and she wasn't sure about the present status of the damage suit which Mr. Billingsley brought against her last fall. "John's handling everything," she explained. "I've never spoken to Sherman myself." "I hope everything will work out all right," she added with a short laugh.

"I don't want them to take away my $10,000 especially lor a name I'm no longer using!" Has Its Dps And Downs Business at her club has its ups and downs, she said, and right now it isn up. The patronage of sea men, who used to be "heavy spend ers" during the wartime shipping boom, has declined sharply and some of the money is going in re verse. "They're all my friends," she said. "They were free with their money when they had it. Now a lot of the bovs are on the beach, i i It Only right I Should help them.

These men who agreed almost unanimously that New Orleans is doing "a good job in taking our business away from us even without the freight rate differential" em phasized that the Baltimore group must be composed of alert, gressive persons "with vision." Water-Frcnt Proposals Other proposals with which most of the water-front leaders are in agreement follow: 1. Get State and city funds to help finance port activities. 2.

Set up at least one adequate united terminal, to be operated independently and equally for the mutual benefit of all railroads and trucking lines, as far as loading and unloading is concerned, and for all the steamship lines. 3. Stop the railroads, who con trol the best piers in the harbor from being discriminatory in their handling of cargo in this port. 4. Get more warehouse storage space.

5. Organize an international bank so that all of the documenta tion of imports and exports through this port can be handled in Balti more, rather than New York as now when most of the banks refuse to deal with ships. Education As To Port 6. Educate the citizens of Balti more and the business men as to the Importance of the port and the deterioration which is overtak ing it. 7.

Put several "salesmen" of the port out in the mid-West and keep them out there, instead of just using one full-time man and one part-time person to do the job. 8. Fight the high freight rates which have put all Eastern seaports at a disadvantage with New Orleans. 9. Have reciprocal switching by the railroads.

10. Inaugurate an extensive study on every facility in the port. 11. Organize a Port of, Baltimore (Continued on Page 16, Column 6) Serving the Finest Since 1900 Tie WALIEl HASSLINGE-R Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge 1701-1705 N. Charles St.

15 (JF The fish and wildlife service came today with proof of something not many people had suspected the shad's a gadabout. Twenty shad tagged at sea a year ago, in the Gulf of Maine, have been recaptured in rivers and coastal waters all the way from Massachusetts to Georgia. For the shad's no cad, Southern shad mingle chummily at sea with their Yankee counterparts. Come spawning time, however, they steer like salmon for the waters in which they were born the native southerners go South again, the northerners back home the rivers of the North. 236 Tagged Off Maine Under the direction of Biologist M.

Cable of the service lab oratory here, 236 shad were caught the Gulf of Maine last August, miles at sea off Mount Desert Rock. Tagged with numbered celluloid discs riveted to their cheeks, they were released in the same area Only twenty of the tags have been sent back to the laboratory. Miss Cable said. They were from fish caught com Cab Driver Loses In 'Curb Exchange' Mervin A. Hutton's stock dropped more than $3 yesterday in a "curb exchange." Mr.

Hutton, who is a cab driver, told police that it happened this way: He picked up a Negro at a bus terminal on North Howard street and was directed to the 700 block Mulberry street. Almost at the destination, the passenger pulled out an "old" pistol and said: "Pull over to the curb." Then the transaction took place, and the bandit fled on foot richer by "between and $4."

Only one of that group traveled any consider able distance. It was caught in the Gulf of Maine.

Late this month an additional 1,000 shad will be tagged in a con tinuation of the migration studies But the results thus far, said Miss Cable, clearly indicate the interest each Atlantic coastal state should have in the marine shad fisheries.

Instead of appealing to a Fed eral court to remove the "Stork Club sign from the window of Bettye Mills club, the drunk sun ply broke the window. "I didn't charge him anything," Miss Mills declared.

"I don't think he realized just what he was doing. Anyway, I'm really glad 'The Stork' isn't there any more. I can get along fine without it.
