Approves His Record

Senator Radcliffe opened his cam
palgn yesterday for denomination by
his party in next months Demo-
cratic primaries in Maryland with
speech at Pocomoke City in which
he maintained that his chief oppo-
nent, Gov. O'Conor, by inference
approves of my record"
At the same time it was announced
in Baltimore that Howard Bruce,
financier and industrialist, has
thrown his support behind Gov.
O'Conor Mr. Bruce said he would
speak at meeting of the O'Conor
Democratic Women's Club tomorrow
night.
On the gubernatorial side of the
Maryland political scene, w. Preston

cratic nomination, released a state
ment on the hospital situation in
Maryland. He said that he would
see to it that more mental institu-
tlons in particular would be estab-
llShed in the State.
Senator Radcliffe in his first and
perhaps my only" campaign speech,
said that Mr.. O'Conor's platform
suggests no reference applicable to
any one of the burning, stupendous
questions and controversial meas

Turning to labor, he said:
MY good friend and temporary
opponent, the Governor, if the pa

rassed by the hearty endorsement

He doubtless welcomes their Sc

Discounts PAC Influence.
Personally, I am not dismayed
that the political managers of the
CIO now, as always, oppose me. The
result of that opposition is told by
the election figures in my ever in
creasing majorities."
He added he favored unions and
collective bargaining, but opposed
the sacrifice of all other callings,
occupations, all treasury funds for
the supposed advancement of labor
and to make about 120-odd million
people Subservient to a single, prior
preferred interest, let it be labor or
any other interest"

The situation in Baltimore City

had risen to 52.4.
According to some interesting
statistical figures for the period
1921-1930 recently published by
Prof. Gunnar Dahlberg, head of
the Swedish Institute of Human
Genetics, the divorce frequency ap-
pears to be the highest among the
group authors, journalists and
similar professions, with 1872 per
cent per year. Officers come sec

lawyers (109), chauffeurs (085).
physicians and dentists (0.82), art

among the farmers is very small
and the same applies to the Swed-
ish clergymen. That sea-captains
and mates have a comparatively
high divorce percentage (0.5D is.
