Gets Nomination
For Governor
Democratic Conve n tion
Held On Wednesday -
Nominations Routine

Attorney General Herbert r.
O'Conor was nominated as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor Of
Maryland on Wednesday of this week
(Sept. 28) by the Democratic State
Convention. The meeting was held in
the Auditorium Theatre in Baltimore.
What threatened to be a fight to
the bitter end in the state convention
turned into a harmony meeting. Only
last Monday the Prince Georges
County delegates, in position to swing
the nomination to either Mayor Jack
son or the Attorney General, made
public their intention to support the
latter thus assuring Mr.. O'Conor's
nomination regardless Of che outcome
of the hotly contested recount in AIS
legany county.
Mayor Jackson, on the platform
with other party leaders, asked recog-
milton after the formality of the first
and second ballots and moved that the
nomination of Mr.. O'Conor be made
unanimous. Thunderous applause
greeted the Mayors remarks and his
motion was seconded by both Senator
Sasscer and Comptroller Gordy, the
other unsuccessful candidates for the
nomination. Each referred to Mr..
O'Conor as "the next Governor.
Other nominations at the Conven-
ton were perfunctory except that for
Attorney General which went to the
third ballot before decision and final
ly went to former Judge William G.
Walsh, of Cumberland.
Senator Willard E. Tydings' nomin-
alton was made unanimous BY mo-
ton Of Kent r. Mullilxin who was
manager q the recent primary cam
paign for Congressman David j.
Lewis.
Naming of j. Willard Tawes, for
Comptroller and James A. Young, for
Clerk of the Court Of Appeals COM
pleted the convention nominations.
Adoption of the platform was the
work of the convention other
than nominations. The complete plat
form is printed on page 8 Of this

County Hospital
Receives Gifts In
Current Campaign
Additional Beds Especially
Desir ed; Invitation To
Visit Institution

The campaign to raise funds for
the enlargement of Montgomery
County General Hospital has been
stimulated by receipt of several large
gifts, according to Harry Hoskinson,
of Germantown, general chairman of
the drive. Contributions from the
suburban area, especially Bethesda,
Chevy Chase, Silver Spring, and Ta-
koma Park, have been particularly
numerous although gifts also have
been coming in from other parts of
the county.
DR.. J. w. Bird, chairman of the
hospitals executive committees, has
invited all interested persons to visit
the institution during the next week,
to inspect its present facilities which
are remarkably complete for a hos
pital located away from large city.
The building is on the Olney Sandy
Spring road, about one mile east of
Olney, and sets back from the high
way in the midst of tall shade trees.
1t has a capacity of forty beds and
six bassinettes, although it is hoped
that funds received during the pres
ent campaign will be sufficient to
add twelve more beds, as well as a
new heating plant.
Additional beds are needed es-
pecially to care for the increasing
number of accident and maternity
cases, and for the mems ward. With
residents of the county becoming
increasingly anxious for hospitaliza-
ton in case of sickness, enlargement
of the hospital is imperative. The
annual deficit of about $4,000 in
CURED in connection with charity
cases, which make up Sc per cent
of the patients admitted yearly,
make it impossible for the hospital
to finance major improvements out
of its current revenues.
individuals desiring to send in con-
tributions direct may send them to
Fred L. Lutes, Suburban National
Bank, Silver Spring, who is treas
urer of the campaign. Mrs. B. Pey-
ton Whalen of Bethesda is chairman
of the Gifts Committee and Mrs.
Walter E. Perry, also of Bethesda, is
secretary of the committee.

Welfare Board Has
Report On Sept. Meet

At the regular meeting of the
Montgomery County Welfare Board,
the work of the agency during the
past month was reviewed Mrs. Kurtz,
executive secretary, reported that al
though no FUNDS were allotted for new
grants during the month, it had been
possible to issue checks to all grants
approved because of the suspension or
cancellation of number of grants on
the case load. because of the shortage
of funds available however, the major
effort of the staff had been directed to
the review of old cases rather than to
the Investigation of pending applica-
lions.
The more rigid Interpretation of
eligibility to Aid to Dependent Chill
dren grants is resulting in a greater
number of rejected applications. At
held on September 2, 1888, thirteen
Applications tor Ala TO dependent
Cnlldleh were rejected and only two
approved.
Ine request of Mrs. Alice w. Hos
teller, senior worker, for a six
months leave of absence due to ILL
ness was approved. Her position will
be filled as soon as the Civil Service
eligibility list can be obtained from
the State Employment Commissioner.
Mrs. Helen Taylor Seek joined
the staff as junior stenographer on
September 10. Mrs. Seek is a gradu-
ate of uaiChei s0urg nign Scnool anc
the Strayers ousIness Scnool and has
been employed recently in Washing
ton, D. C.
Mrs. Kurtz reported that the quar-
terly estimate for funds needed dur
ing OCTOBER, November and December
has recently been submitted to the
Board of State Aid and Charities in
Baltimore. Whether or not the funds
requested will be granted will not be
known until later in the month. Inc
State and Federal governments have
been asked to provide SAL ,236.07 for
the quarter and the county $8,678.93.
The county funds have been made
available but the amount which can
be used will depend upon the money
allocated by the state since all ex-
penditure of funds is made on a
matching basis.
The monthly report submitted to
the Board showed that during Aug
ust, the following assistance was
given: Old Age Assistance 428
cases; $7,951.30, average grant
$18.23; Aid to Dependent Children -

 The AmericansLaFrance CO., in- formed the board of fire commits sioners by letter yesterday. that a manual hoist is being installed on the city's new aerial ladder truck, now being built by the company. The manual hoist will be available for use if the automatic hoist for the ladder should eyer get out of order.
 The company asked several weeks ago that the. board agree to dis pense with the manual hoist for the truck, but the board refused to do so, pointing out that the manual hoist was in the original specifica- tions.
 A petition from members of the fire department asking for restora- tion of the 10 per cent pay cut was received by the board. The board took no action, since the 1899 bud- get is now in the hands of the board of aldermen.
 The board voted to ask finance board to transfer the, sum of $125 from the contingency fund to the pension fund, where that amount is needed. An application by Anthony Tamiso for appointment to the call force was received and placed on file. ss

SIMPLE, BUT
ALL-lMPORTANT

(The Wall Street JournaD
National Rededication' Is the name
of new organization, the aim of which
is stated by its acting director, Hermann
Hagedorn, as follows: THE movement
is wholly non-partisan and affirmative.
We are not criticizing anybody or attack
ing anybody. Our purpose Is to state the
case for liberty and democracy as eX-
pressed in the Declaration of lndepen-
dence and guaranteed by the Constitu-
tion of the United States The new
organization will conduct campaign of
education during the next six months and
will arrange national demonstration
on December Is. next. the anniversary of
the ratification of the Bill of Rights.
An excellent idea and one most timely
for it SO happens that the ease for liber-
in the court of public opinion and is in
no small need of effective presentation.
The case of our liberty and democracy
turns on the question of personal rights
which are guaranteed by the Constitu-
tion. The Constitution charges the Su-
preme Court with the duty of protecting
those rights. Last year a determined
attempt was made to pack the Supreme
Court III order 10 secure certain inter-
probation of the Constitution. The at
tack was defeated.
But there is a definite country wide
campaign on foot this year to defeat at
November's election the senators and
representatives who defeated the Court
packing scheme, and the only possible
Inference from this is that the attack on
courts will be renewed
In the circumstances, there is a very
definite opportunity for putting into
action the new organization educational
plans, for it is impossible to imagine
a question more fundamentally affecting
our liberty and democracy than the ques-
tion of the Supreme Courts integrity
and independence
It is very simple issue and one that
transcends or should transcend = all
partisan politics.

FAIR AND UNFAIR
PROPERTY LIENS

Persons who have bought property
from state old age pensioners may be
required TO clear title by paying the
state for sums expended in pensions to
the former owners, under ruling by
Attorney General L. S. Webb. The ruling
followed court finding that state
Legislative act cancelling liens on pen
sioners' property is unconstitutional.
1t seems to us the state is entitled to
repayment for the sums handed over to
pensioners-but it also seems a bit un-
fair to expect that repayment from inno-
cent persons who have bought property
from the pensioners.
If an aged person has sufficient in
come property to support him, he should
not expect state old age pension. On
the other hand, if he has property which
does not return any income, we cannot
see why he should be ineligible for a
pension. Nor do we see why, if he sells
the property and realizes handsome
profit, he should not himself reimburse
the state. Certainly the purchaser should
have no obligation in that direction.
The matter might very we'll be cleared
up by law requiring the pensioner to
surrender his property to the state at
such time as the pension money he has
received reaches a total equal to the fair
value of the property. Thus no innocent
third party would be required to pay
doubly-through taxation and through
penalty-for support of the aged

UNRURIED TREASURE
(Nogaies Herald)

Not all buried treasure was hidden on
remote islands or mysterious shores. Nor
was it all pirates gold. Current news
reports tell of money and boarded gold
discovered while demolishing old build
ings right in the heart of Paris and New
York
In Paris wrecker's ak unearthed 5000
pieces of gold valued at about 100000
francs hidden in wall, with will, and
forgotten since the eighteenth century.
Colorfully appropriate, the treasure was
in building in the aLtin Quarter.
In New York workmen demolishing
the old Civic Repertory Theater on Four
teenth street, where famous stars trod
Gallienne held forth for a season or two
more recently, We're showered with sev-
eral hundred dollars from a floor being
removed. Bills and coins that looked
genuine dropped from above and scatter
ed over the wreckage. Inspection reveal
ed that they were not stage money, but
real.
Evidently the money had been stored
in old money bags long ago-by whom
and why can only be guessed. Though
the bags had disintegrated, the money
was intact. Each of the workmen shared
in the find.
Though it is a prosaic' job, most of us
are content if we can dig up enough
money to pay the tax collectors and the
grocer Yet who can say romance has
entirely vanished from modern life when
hidden treasure shines in the news?

WHERE DO THE HIGHWAY
FUNDS GO?

California will receive million and
a half fewer dollars from the federal
dollars from the federal government III
1940-41 for highway construction and
maintenance than it did in 1889, fig
ures released by the state director of
public works show. Yet California will
pay more in gasoline taxes to the federal
government during the coming period
than it does during the current one.
OF all taxes, those collected from per-
sons who use the highways should be
returned to the place originally intended.
Gasoline taxes We're first levied to pro-
vide funds for highway construction and
maintenance, and have been levied for
that ostensible purpose ever since. They
should be used for such construction and
maintenance.
If the federal government is to col
lect gasoline taxes and use the funds
for general governmental purposes, then
the tax might very we'll be repealed, or
turned into a state tax.
Diversion of taxes from their stated
purpose is always dangerous. and in this
particular instance is especially danger
Gus because it threatens deterioration Of
the states highways if carried too far.
