Markey Denounces
|SociaIized Medicine,
ASKS 0'Conor Stand
By the Assoeiotsd Press

Socialized medicine was an issue
on the Maryland political horizon
today as both Democrats and Re-
publicans centered activity in Bal
tinaore In the final week Of CAM
paigning.
The Republican candidate for the
Senate, Brig. Gen. D. John Markey,
publicly asked Gov. O'Conor, his
opponent, to state his position on
socialized medicine.
Where does he stand on this i'm
portant question, the attempt to So
cialize medicine" Gen. Markey
queried in statement issued from
his headquarters.
The COP nominee said further:
This State, the home of the
greatest physicians. is vitally inter-
ested. Is Mr.. O'Conor for or against?
am unequivocally against. The
electorate is entitled to know where
Mr.. O'Conor stands, and he ought
to speak up before November S"
Senator Markey assailed Gov
OConor's eight years at Annapolis
and called him a carbon copy" OF
President Truman and "a true dis
c1ple of the New Deal, the greatest
promising outfit in American his
tory"
As political activity rolled into its
final stages, all Statewide candi-
dates were concentrating their ef-
forts in Baltimore and its metropoli-
tan area, where more than half OF
the States estimated $4,000 votes
will be cast in the election.
Major rallies and radio broadcasts
have been planned for the week by
both parties.
In the campaign spotlight last
week, the battle of words continued
between the Gubernatorial candi-
dates, Republican Theodore r. Nc

The worlds most sanitary build
ing, the new infectious disease lab
oratory of the Public Health Service,
was dedicated at Bethesda yesterday
afternoon as a memorial to the 70
scientists of the service who have
lost their lives in the fight against
germs and viruses.
Every device known to science has
been incorporated to make the
81, ,150, 900 structure an inescapable
prison for deadly micro-organisms
such as the poliomyelitis virus,
which will be handled there. This
is for the protection of the public.
In the interior there are a host OF
precautions for the safety of workers
who must experiment with these
dreaded microscopic life forms. Spe-
cial features are glass-inclosed cub
icles which only sterilized air can
enter, cabinets equipped with ex-
haust chimneys and flooded with ul-
traviolet light, animal cages sus-
pended from the ceiling on overhead
rails and sealed triple windows.
Here it is expected about the first
of the year to start studies on such
infections as spotted, typhus and 9
fevers, tuleremia, parrot fever and
polio. Special researches Will DC
started on the common cold, both
because of its own great economic
Importance and because OF recent
findings of its similarity in the early
stages to more dangerous malad1es
Laboratory History Told.
DR.. James A. Crabtree, deputy
surgeon general, spoke for Surgeon
General Thomas Parran who could
not attend because of illness in his
family. He told of the rapid growth
of the Public Health Services great
laboratory in Bethesda from a small
start 10 years ago, and OF plans for
the future.
There is now a construction plan
he said, estimated to cost between
SIS, ,000, 600 and $40, ,000, 900 for ex-
pansion of the National Cancer In
stitute and the actual treatment OF
cancer, an institute for research In
mental diseases and a national den
tai institute. Also it Is planned to
use the present industrial hygiene
department for cooperative studies
with the Bureau of Standards on
the use of radioactive isotopes in
medicine and such allied lines as
agriculture.
Infectious disease, 1t was stressed,
now offers radically new problems
with the rapidity of travel all over
the world. There is no longer any
reliance on an incubation period.

DC. Hotel Strike
Enters 18Th Day
On SfaIenldfe
z Both Sides Refuse
To Change Position
On Poy, Vacations

Pessimism was acknowledged In
every quarter today over prospects
for early settlement of the Wash
ington hotel strike, which moved
into its 18th day.
If there had been any new peace
moves in the effort to return 5000
striking service workers to their
jobs in Is hotels, they were not re-
ported.
The deadlock apparently stood
where it did when joint negotiations
collapsed late Saturday after all
day sessions in the Labor Depart
ment.
Positions Unchanged.
Joseph c. McGarraghy, attorney
for the hotels, and Samuel Levine,
representing the hotel unions, said
their positions were unchanged
from those declared following the
collapse of Saturdays meeting
Each side was waiting for the other,
or some one else, to make the next
move.
Mr.. McGarraghy reiterated his
previous statements that manage
ment is willing "at a moments no
tice," to arbitrate the issues of pay
and vacations. All other issues, he
insisted, already have been nego-
tiated.
Mr.. Levine said the unions stand
ready to arbitrate in the manner
recommended by the Labor Depart
ment's Cancellation Service These
recommendations, made Saturday
proposed seven-point basis of arbi-
tration. The unions cannot agree
to further concessions than those
outlined in the Cancellation Service
proposal, the attorney declared.
Conciliator in Conferences.
At the Cancellation Service, Mr.
Mills engaged in departmental con-
ferences discussing the situation
However, nothing of concrete nature
looking toward resumption of joint
negotiations was announced.
Meanwhile, arrivals of those who
hoped to obtain accommodations in
the struck hotels were reported
heavier today than at any time since
the strike began. Many apparently
arrived believing the strike had been
settled.
Mr.. McGarraghy said, however
the hotels are not accepting new
registrations except, in some cases,
those that were made long in ad-
vance of the strike
Rally Planned Tonight.
Plans also were announced as
complete for a rally in support of
the strike at o'clock tonight in
the National Press Building Audi
torium, Fourteenth and F streets
NV. Announced sponsors are Julius
I. Peyser, attorney for a group of
stockholders in the Mayflower Hotel
Corp, and the Washington chapter
Of the Union for Democratic Action.
Edward D. Hollander, president OF
the latter organization, said a fund
will be raised for the relief of needy
strikers.
Luncheon Of the Young Peoples S
League of the National Symphony
Orchestra Association, scheduled at
1890 pm. Tuesday in the Hotel
Statler, was postponed until No
vember because of the strike.

which your reducing routine gave

who had previously played golf. ten

'I have had the extra link taken
out of my watch band which had

my prewar girdle). My upper arms
and shoulders (Where I hated the

dress remodeling I know that have
lost IL inches from my upper arms.

dresses make finding coat suitable
for such frocks a little problematic.
The answer perhaps is one of the
very new full, three-quarter length
toppers that dips in the back and
is wrapped around the figure. Other
dramatic touches in untrimmed
coats come from unusual neck
lines and off ff-to-one- side closings.
Very exciting materials are prom
ised for this falls untrimmed wraps.
You'll see the return of plaid,
broadcloth, English tweeds and a
South American discovery, guanaco
cloth, done up by Omar Kiam In
an English greatcoat. Also great
favorites are the hardy menswear
woolens that a great many design
ers are featuring in their coat
collections.
Coat lengths will vary. There1l
be the little coat. the tunic length
the quarter and the full
length coat. And the soft, feminine
rounded look that is so evident

The shape of things to come where
coat silhouettes for fall are con-
cerned is mostly a round one. Either
nipped in at the waist in princess
version, a surplus bell" look, or
the belted Russian tunic styles shown
in the sketches.
Untrimmed coats that take to
fur pieces or a gayly colored scarf
are the versatile wraps that so
many women prefer. If the tossup
came around whether to have a
fairly cheap fur coat or to invest
bit more in a well-cut untrimmed
coat the untrimmed coat would win
in the long run.
Highlighting the Philip Mangone
showing, recently viewed in New
York, were the few untrimmed
coats in a collection that was pre-
dominately a fur-trimmed one. All
of his models, trimmed or un-
trimmed, are tailored with mas
ters touch. His coat lines are
softly rounded with broad but not
extremely exaggerated shoulder
spans, defined waist lines and full

f1aring skirts. According to Mr..
Mangone, this years fitted coats will
look newer and younger through
use of fullness, although the
straight-hanging and swagger coats,
too, have great chic.
Big. dandy collars that hug the
throat and tapered waists that
spread out into rippled flared skirts
are other fall coat notes to think
about.' The perfect coat for women
who have wanted bustle-back dresses
and suits but have hesitated to
buy them because of their bulkiness
is the coat with the full-flared back
starting at the collar. This style
coat will enable them to wear bustle-
backs with the greatest of ease and
comfort. Another thing in their
favor are their big sleeves. Dolman-
type sleeves won't wrinkle when
worn with this model.
Harking back to the 1900s, the
"hug-me" coat may find itself again
in style. Dipping hemlines on

cHILDREN,s SLEEPING BAGS.
(Fro11 Mrs. K. M. NJ, Pitts
burqh, Pa

burgh, Pd.J
In reply to Mrs r. H., Washington
keeping babies and small children
covered at night is major problem
which I have solved to my salts
faction. I put my baby into
homemade sleeping bag at months
and he is still using them at almos'
i 5 years. I make two or three
varying warmth for the differen
seasons of the year. (The younger
child has one made of an old
sheet for cool summer nights when
very light cover is requiredD In
structions for making as follows:
For the older child I use a whole
single blanket. Lay it SO that the
binding is at the top. Then fold
over the selvedge edges to meet at
| the center. Sew a 36-inch Upper
(they are hard to find but pay divi-
dents in the long run as the bag
can be laid front down in the crib
and the child slipped in and the
back tipped up in couple of sec
onds) from the binding top down.
Sew the selvedges together below
the Upper Then center the Upper
so that it is exactly in the middle
of the back Machine sew the two
bound edges together on the OUT
SIDE $50 as not to make the top
bulky leaving room for the neck
at each side of the upper and 4 or 5
inches at each end for the hands.
Sew across bottom. find that the
width of such a bag made from
whole blanket is just right for
the larger child. In a baby or
toddler a narrow piece of blanket
could be used, although the more
room they have to kick inside the
better. You may have bit OF
trouble at first getting your son
to use it-but little diplomacy
and reasoning will do wonders. Dur
ing very cold weather I pin on
. another blanket at both shoulders
and near the bottom. My children
: love their bags for they can roll
all over the cribs in them or ever
stand up-yet they remain warm.
