Maryland COP was confronted to-
day with a slim field of prospects
for the Republican gubernatorial

clined to be candidates for any Of
fee.
A meeting of the Republican
Gubernatorial Canvass Committee
was arranged here today and only
seven names remained on the list
of those considered likely choices
for the Governors chair.
Mr. McKeldin, Baltimore attorney
who has been considered one of the
more likely prospects, announced
yesterday that he was not candi-
date for any Office.
TAFT Refuses to Run.
At the same time, similar state
ment came from Galen L. TAFT of
Montgomery County, former Re
publican State Central Committee
chairman. Arriving here for the
meeting, he declared he would not
seek the nomination.
Previously j. Purdon Wright,
party leader of Northern Baltimore
County. and H. Webster Smith, who
sought the COP nomination in 1884,
removed their names from the list
canvassed by the committee.
Mr.. Wright, member Of the
committee, withdrew his name the
same day the committee was ap-
pointed, June 27.

Jackson is expected to make clear
his political intentions tomorrow.

on a budgeted account are paid. He
may ask $40 month instead of IS,
even if S. payments would retire
the debt in six months. In other
words, credit still is, essentially, q
transaction between buyer and
seller. The Government simply
says that so much at least must be
done.
Tenth Day Always Deadline.
Those who bought articles on July
will have 70 days to pay for them
to escape being adjudged in default
by the Federal Reserve Board. Pur-
chases made on July 81 must be paid
for in Al days. The deadline is the
10th day of the second succeeding
month, regardless of which days OF
the current month the articles were
bought.
But may a'custonner paying up in

purchasers? He may, so far as Reg
ula ton w is concerned It's up to
the store credit manager to decide
If the clients credit is good, he
probably will be able to buy what
he needs and add something to the
weekly or monthly payments.
Another question frequently in
cluded in the queries which have
bombaroed John K. Althaus, secre-
tary- treasurer of the Associated Re-
tail Credit Men of Washington, is
this: will I be allowed to have an
open and an installment account at
the same store?"

One large Washington store plans
to allow customers with good credit
to carry both forms of accounts II
they choose. Another big store has
ruled that they must decide which

that two kinds of charge accounts
for one customer involved too much
bookkeeping.
The merchant. however, is not al

Keech Will Rule
On Giving Arms
To AuxiIiaries
Young Wants Quick
Decision; Kelly
Makes Report

The issue of whether auxiliary po-
licemen should be armed is under
serious consideration by District of
f1cials. who feel decision should be
reached quickly.
J. Russell Young. civilian defense
co-ordinator for the Metropolitan
Area, explained he has received 9
full report on the matter from Maj
Edward J. Kelly. superintendent OF
police. 1t has been referred to Cor
poration Counsel Richmond B
Keech for a legal opinion on severa.
questions involved.
The issue has not yet been laio
before the Board of Commissioners
Mr.. Young explained. emphasizing
that he has not made up his own
mind as to whether the auxiliary
police force can be armed
Gives Views Of Both Sides.
The report by Maj. Kelly sum-
married arguments for and against
placing guns in the hands of auxil-
iary police.
Maj Kelly suggested that the
question, involving legal status OF
the police and the right of the Com
missioners to take such steps, be re-
ferred to the corporation counsel
He further wrote that if the decision
of the corporation counsel "is af-
hrmative of the right of auxiliary
police to carry arms, the Commits
sioners will issue appropriate in
structions to accomplish the arming
OF these volunteers"
Commissioner Young pointed out
that one of the serious problems
would be the expense involved, as
the estimated cost would be about
$4,000.
Bolles Alsc to Report.
Col Lemuel Bolles, executive di-
rector for civilian defense, conferred
with Commissioner Young on the
matter, and will receive the issue
formally within few days for q
report.
Both Commissioner Young and
Col Bolles praised the work of the
auxiliary police. Col. Bolles ex-
pressed the opinion that men who
are assigned to perform hazardous
duties should be properly equipped
to perform those duties. but he also
felt certain restrictions should be
thrown about the use of arms by
auxiliary police. -.

approaches of Stalingrad reached
new heights of ferocity today, with
the Germans attacking in greater
strength and with more rapidity
than ever, and with air superiority
in such proportions that their

German motorized infantry, after
repeated attacks on narrow sec

in SO hours.
The enemy had made no progress
on the southwest in five days, but
dispatches from the front indicated
he was redoubling his efforts. Fresh
reserves poured constantly into
German lines, and their numerical
superiority on land and in the air
increased by the hour.

Aussies Stronger
In Moresby Area

GEN. MACARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, AUSTRALIA, Sept. 8
-(UP)-Australian forces in the
owen Stanley mountains of New
Guinea are holding strong positions
against momentarily diminished
japanese push toward Port Mores-
by, dispatches reported today.
1t was confirmed that the Japan
ese had broken through the main
pass in the mountains to reach a
position approximately SO miles
from Port Moresby, the great Al
lied advanced base on the South
Coast.
But though it was indicated that
the Japanese had passed over the
spine of the 5000 foot mountains,
the Australians held a selected line
among razor-back peaks leading
down to the south coast.
There was increasing evidence
that the Australian defenders were
strong enough to hold the enemy
in event that a frontal attack fol-
lowed the present infiltration and
thanking tactics of the enemy COM
bat forces.
DOMINANT IN AIR
Allied planes, now dominant in
the air over all New Guinea fight
ing zones, went to the attack again
yesterday in support of the ground
forces in the mountains.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur an
nounced in a communique that al
lied fighter planes heavily attack
ed the enemy troops and installa-
tions in the entire zone leading
back to Kokoda, on the north side
of the mountains, with bombs and
machine guns.
Macarthur said also that Allied
planes had attacked a japanese
cruiser and a destroyer Monday and
Tuesday just north of Milne Bay
at the southeast end of New GUM
ca and it was believed the Destroy
er was damaged.
Apparently the ships were those
which had shelled Australian posi-
tions at Milne Bay and had then
turned northward. MediGnn bomb
ers and torpedo-carrying planes
first attacked the enemy ships at
dusk Monday in unfavorable flying
weather off Normandy Island, in
the L'Entrecasteau group just off
the New Guinea coast. Fighter
planes machine gunned the decks
of the enemy Warcraft.
MAKE TWO ATTACKS
Heavy and medium bombing
planes made two attacks on the
same ships Tuesday off the little
Trobriand Islands north of Norm
anby and it was then that the de-
stroyer was believed damaged.
Macarthur was able to report
that the enemy ground forces in
