BY the Assoeiotsd Press

A plan to put the clinical depart.
ments Of the University of Mary
land Medical School in Baltimore
on a full-time basis was received
yesterday by DR.. n. c. Byrd, presi-
dent Of the university.

hundred thousand dollars q year,

DR.. Byrd said, however. he be.
lieved the project could be com.
pleted In much less time and -

Shirley Temples Big Brother, George Prefers Role Of Mat Idol to Matinee Idol

Not great trane!yicn at that, for acting seems to be the prime re- ouislte in the game today. Just a step from matinee idol to mat idol.
 Georges success in his first few bouts in the Ocean Park Arena in his home town. santa Monica, Calf. and later in the Olympic Au- ditorium, Los Angeles. hase been so spectacular, and he proved such potent drawing card that he was flooded with offers from sports pro- motefs all over the country.
 George is a powerful and re- sourceful wrestler, has won all his bouts so far. but still hasn't called upon his knowledge of the deadly tricks which the Marines were taughti for staying Japs,' writes George Hanson in All Sports mag aZine.
 When he went into wrestling Temple decided he'd modify the tricks to the extent that they'd only subdue man rather than kill him. But the trouble is, he says. that when he goes into ac- tion he's afraid to try even modi- fled tactics for fear that in the excitement of a hard match he'd put on too much pressure and accidentally fatally injured an op- ponent. Indeed. he has dreamed that this happened and his ad- versary was carried out feet first.
 George Temple enlisted in the Marines at the outset of the war and spent three years in the South Pacific. He won several decorations. including the Purple Heart, in battles on beach and in jungleS. He was discharged as a master sergeant.
