Little Gloria Finkelstein is on
speaking terms again with the
schoolboy hero who saved her life.
The first intimation that the
child's life had been in danger came
to her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Finkelstein, SGT Twelfth street Sc.
when they read an account of the
incident in The Star last night.
The story told of 11-year-old
Lawrence E. Soper, 731 Tenth street
Sc, being awarded the lifesaving
medal of the American Automobile
Association at a luncheon in his
honor sponsored by the Junior
Chamber of Commerce on Thursday
The award was made because Law
renee dragged 5-year-old Gloria out
of the way of onrushing cars when
she darted into the intersection al
Eleventh and G streets Sc. on hel
way to school on March 5.
But Lawrence told reporters that
Gloria had never thanked him. Al

Welfare Board 10 Ask
Additional 100000
To Build Child Home

A 100000 deficiency appropriation
will be sought by the institutions
committee of the Board of Public
Welfare to permit construction of a
96-bed Receiving Home for Children
in spite of rising building costs, 1t
was announced today.
Although the District Engineers
office already is working on plans
to construct a smaller institution
that could be built within the
s285 900 originally appropriated by
Congress, the institutions committee
reaffirmed its demand for a larger
institution.
The action was taken yesterday
after the Commissioners informed
the Welfare Board that the lowest
bid for construction of the building
according to its plan was $485,000
An additional 100000 will be
sought, $4,000 for steel windows
and the rest to take care of further
increases in building costs before
the money is forthcoming, A J.
Driscoll, committee chairman, re-
ported.
A citizens committee headed by
Mrs. Eugene Meyer favors immediate
construction of a smaller building to
house only delinquents. She has said
she would support supplemental
appropriation to build a small home
for nondelinquents or to provide care
for them in foster homes.
To show the need for larger
institution, Mr.. Driscoll said that 18
children slept on the floor of the
present Receiving Home Thursday
night because there were no beds
for them. The institution, built for
so children, now is accommodating
70, he said.
The committee proposal requires
the approval of the Welfare Board
and of the District Commissioners.
After receiving protests from civic
groups against housing delinquents
and nondelinquents in the same
building, the Commissioners offered
blueprintS for smaller institution
but the Welfare Board rejected
them. Bids then were asked for the
larger institution.

Maryland Candidates
Can Quit 10 Midniqht
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, April 20-The Sec
retary of States Office will remain
open until midnight tonight-the
deadline for withdrawal of candi-
dates from the Maryland primary
elections June "a.
The exact composition of the bal
lots as far as Statewide Offices and
congressional districts go will be de-
termined today. The deadline for
filing of candidates was last Mon
day.
Two Republican candidates with
drew this morning. They are Edwin
c. Hook, HagerstoWn, who dropped
out of the race for controller, letting
the COP nomination for this Office
go by default to Alexander T. Grier,
Salisbury, and Edward J. Waters,
BerWyn, who withdrew his candi-
dacy for the House nomination from
the 5th district, leaving two men
still in the Republican field for that
Office. They are Horace H. Bowling,
Mechanicsville, and Edwin A. Glenn
Suitland.
Few other Withdrawals are ex-
pected.
Some activity was expected at the
Secretary of States Office, but just
how much was still a matter for
speculation. 1t was considered eX-
tremely unlikely that any of the
major contenders for important
nominations on either ticket would
withdraw.
One exception was Paul Robert
son, Baltimore City, Republican
chairman. Mr.. Robertson has filed
for nomination to the United States
Senate and to the House from the
4th district. He must withdraw one
candidacy before the deadline.
There we're 60 candidates in the
field when the time limit for filing
expired. The first one to withdraw
subsequently was Hugh Cross OF
Baltimore, one of eight candidates
for the Democratic guernatorial
nomination.
