RADCLIFFE QUITS
RACE FOR R|TCH|E
Governors Supporters Hail
Decision to Seek Sem
ate Seat.
BY GEORGE PORTER,
Stan Correspondent Of The Star.

BALTIMORE, Md, July George
L. Radcliffe, regional public works
administrator and personal friend of
President Roosevelt, announced to-
night he has decided to withdraw
from the race for the Democratic
nomination for Governor and to run
instead for the United States Senate.
His decision caused exultation in
the Ritchie camp. where it was hailed
as the greatest possible pre-primary
victory for the Governor.
While Mr.. Radcliffe failed to say
in so many words, that he will run
on the Ritchie ticket, there were in
dications that the two would work
together in the coming campaign.
Complete Agreement" Reached.
Chief among them was the fact
that d complete agreement" whereby
Radcliffe was to retire from the guber-
material contest and seek the toga
was reached last night at conference
between Senator Tydings, chief sup
porter OF the Radcliffe-fo for Governor
boom, E. Brooke Lee and William
Walsh, lieutenants of Gov. Ritchie.
After the conference it was said
that all of the Western Shore Demo-
cratic county leaders had been con-
suited and would go down the line
for Radcliffe for the Senate"
1t was pointed out that the maneu-
yer agreed upon would be advan-
tageous to all parties concerned. 1t
will prevent what threatened to be
the most serious breach in the Demo-
cratic party in Maryland in years
that between Ritchie and Senator
Tydings; 1t would remove Gov
Ritchie's most powerful opponent in
his bid for the Democratic nomina-
ton for a fifth term. and. If Rad
cliffe is elected, would enable him
to help President Roosevelt through
his vote in the Senate.
Although two other candidates,
Mayor Howard w. Jackson of Bal
timore and DR.. Charles H. Conley
Of Frederick, remain in the field for
the Democratic gubernatorial NOM
ination, both will have a hard fight
to overcome the prestige which a
Ritchie- alliance would COM
mand. Jackson already has an
nounced he will run alone and make
no effort to align himself with sena-
torial or other candidates.
First Announcing for Senate.
Radcliffe is the first Democrat to
announce his candidacy for the Sen
ate. There are two Republicans in
the field, former Senator Joseph I.
France and former Representative
Linwood L. Clark. The vacancy is
caused by the expiration of the term
of Senator Phillips Lee Goldsborough,
who Is expected to either run for
reelection or for the G. o. p. guber-
material nomination.
Mr.. Radcliffe issued the following
statement:

BERLIN, July adolf Hitler
called for peace and quiet and ordered
a political truce today after the most
turbulent week of the Nazi regime.
The chancellor set an example Of
outward calmneSs for the German
people by leaving Berlin and going
to his retreat in the Bavarian Alps
at least for the week end and possibly
for a longer vacation.
Sub leaders, who helped Hitler
break up revolt with firing squads a
week ago today, also were reported
resting.
Vice Chancellor Franz Won Pspen
whose position has not yet been
clarified, was smiling when visited III
his home today.
My plans are not yet complete, p
said the aristocratic friend OF Presi-
dent Paul Won Hindenburg. Every
thing Is still unsettled"
House Still Guarded.
The political truce leaves him vice
chancellor, free to come and 90 a,
he pleases, although his house still
is guarded. presumably to protect him
from hot-blooded Nazis.
The government still is on the alert
the propaganda ministry indicated
for any sign Of renewed efforts oil
dissatisfied elements to overthrow the
Hitler regime
Activities Of secret police will con-
tinue through the truce" which II
carried out as planned means that
no major change can be made during
July.
The cabinet, which rules Germany
as legislative as well as executive
body, will have no meetings during the
month. 1t was stated at the chancel-
lor's Office
Presumably. the government feels
that its position is sufficiently
strengthened to warrant relaxation on
the part of high oficials unless their
rest is interrupted by new disquieting
reports from the secret police.
To the Storm Troopers, among
whose leaders the revolt developed,
Nazi party leaders issued a carefully
worded statement assuring them that
the troops and the party belong to
each other and cannot be separated.
Many Face Loss Of Place.
Many of the 1000, 900 men in the
organization, vacationing under orders
not to wear uniforms, face the pros
pect Of being showed aside in the re-
organization now under way as a re-
suit Of the executions among their
former leaders.
The belief persists that not more
than 20 per cent of the full number
will 60 back to duty, despite the nu-
merous official efforts to reassure the

World Bank Head Claims
Anarchy of Standard
Must Be Reformed.
BY the Associated Press.

BASEL. Switzerland, July T.
George L. Harrison, governor of the
New York Federal Reserve Bank, held
long planned conference today with
Montagu Norman, governor Of the
Bank of England. in which they ran
the gamut of international financial
problems.
1t was not believed they reached
any conclusion on the matter of dollar
and pound stabilization, or on the re-
lation of the pound to the dollar,
All that was admitted was that
many great problems remain to be
settled, bearing on the increased fiow
of international commerce and the
prevention of undesirable fluctuations
in exchange
HarriSon's view is known to be that
the dollar already has been effectively
stabilized on a gold basis. He is not,
therefore, here to discuss stabilization,
but II other countries, for example,
England, wish to talk stabilization of
their currency. it is deemed natural
that he will willingly exchange views.
Will See Schacht.
The impression here is that Eng
land is headed for stabilization, but
that recent speech of Chancellor of
the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain
in the House of Commons meant post
ponement of action.
Harrison conferred also with offi-
cials of the Bank for International
Settlements and is expected to talk
with Hjalrnar Schacht, head of the
German Reichsbank, presumably on
interest payments on the Dawes and
Young loans. on which Germany has
declared moratorium.
1t was believed that Harrison will
insist that the United States must
have equal treatment with bondhold-
ers Of other countries on the interest
payments irrespective of considera-
tions of trade balance.
Harrisons confidence In the Amer
ican' dollar and in the soundness OF
American finance, it was observed, al
ready is beginning to have a health
full moral effect on international
leaders.
May Become Director.
Statutes of the Bank for Interna-
tional Settlements give the Federal
Reserve the right to become one OF
the board of directors of the former,
but it is known that Harrison came
to Basel not as a director, but as
guest of Leon Fraser, president OF the
Bis. This is with the knowledge and
approval of the Federal Reserve Board
at Washington.
Whether Harrison himself eventu-
ally will become a director of the Bis
is a question Of the future to decide

MANY TO BENEFIT
BYLEW ON BANKS
Depositors Will Gain by 100
Pct. Assessment on
Stockholders.

Thousands of depositors are expect
ing to benefit from the 100 per cent
assessment which Controller of the
Currency O'Connor yesterday levied
on 1,343 stockholders in fve local
banks.
The exact number Of these de-
positors was not available last night,
but it is known to run into the thou
sands None of these depositorS has
received more than so per cent divi-
dend so far on the deposits which
were tied up when the five banks
failed to reopen at the close OF the
bank holiday.
News that the controller had levied
the assessment fell as a shock upon
the stockholders, but it was greeted
by depositors with hope that when
the receivers collect all that is pos
sible, there will be further dividends
available for creditors.
Amounts involved Uncertain.
There is no way of computing at
this time how much the receivers will
be able to collect from the stock
holders. nor how much will be avail
able for the depositors, nor when it
will be available.
Some of the banks are known to
be in better condition than others,
although up to the present time they
have all paid the same dividend-5O
per cent.
The banks whose receivers now will
proceed to collect the assessment
where possible are:
The Federal-American National
Bank and Trust Co.. in the hands OF
Receiver Cary A. Hardee. who already
has advertised official notice to collect
81 900 900 from 642 stockholders.
Four other banks in the hands oi

holders.

Tests Satisfactory.
From within the gondola during
the air test today came the word
that it was proceeding satisfactorily

that the battery of scientific instru-

and that the crew, though feeling the
heat of its cramped quarters, was
able to accomplish the shifting of

They spent part of their incarcera-

they would find flying the hollow ball
