I'm Baltimore; Served
As Chief Of Police
BY the Asxoeio.ed Press

BALTIMORE. July 2.-William P
Lawson. 66, former police commits
sioner Of Baltimore, died yesterday
of heart attack.
A controversial figure during his
tenure as police commissioner, he
formerly was widely known in Re-
publican politics in the city and
State
In investment banker he former
ly was chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee. After the
election of Gov. Nice in 1885 Mr.
Lawson recommended the abolition
of the merit system law. Gov.
O'Conor. then attorney general,
termed this proposal ''brazen and
indefensible. In June 1888 his ad-
ministration of the police depart
ment came under attack by the
Criminal Justice Commission. The
organization called for his resigna
ton, but Nice refused to follow suit,
In July, 1888, the Securities and
Exchange Commission filed suit
against Mr.. Lawson and he sus-
pended himself as police commits
sioner. He was presented to the
grand jury on II criminal charges
He resigned as police commissioner
in September, 1889, and was found
guilty of conspiracy to defraud Two
months later
Sentenced to three years in the
House of Correction, he was granted
partial pardon by Gov. O'Conor in
l943.
Mr.. Lawson is survived by his
widow, who served for a time as Re-
publican national committeewoman
from Maryland.

His Mother Dead
Youth Will Face
Operation Alone
BY ths Associated Press

VERONA, Pa, July 2.-Next Tues
day. just as planned, 16-year-old
Jack Wisnovski will go to New York
for the eye operation that may re-
store fully the sight he lost four
years ago-but he will go alone.
His frail. patient mother, Mrs
Marie Wisnovski, AZ. died yesterday
as she bent over an ironing board
preparing Jackie's clothes for the
trip.
When he found his mother crum-
pied on the floor, Jackie forgot the
warnings of his doctor and shed
the tears he could not hold back,
Now, physicians fear the trans
plantation of cornea to his right
eye may be delayed at least eight
months.
The first sight Jackie wanted to
see following his last operation
which restored 80 per cent sight to
his left eye, was his mothers face u
This time, even if the operat ton
is successful, his mother will not be
with him-only her last words be-
fore she lapsed into a coma:
BE sure to have your opera ton
son, no matter what happens

 Archbishop Glennon had two major ambitions. one was to erect Q cathedral worthy of the great Catholic population of St. Louis. The second was to build q seminary for the education of candidates of the priesthood.
 Today, both the cathedral and seminary stand as symbols of the man who was responsible for them. The new St. Louis cathedral is one of the gems of architecture on the American continent. And the city has two seniinaries which are ex- amples of perfection in the work they accomplish.
 John Cardinal Glennon led a busy but orderly life. The long jour- ney to Rome by plane and the strain of the ceremonies that at- tended his confirmation to the Col- lege of Cardinals apparently was too much for his SS-year-old Sys- tenn.
 The first dignitary west of the Mississippi to be so honored learned of his appointment by the pope on December g, i946.

 The Senate Military Affairs Clm. mittee tangled with the War Dee partment in February l046. Chair man Andrew J. May, D., Ky, chal- lenged 0 War Department order that persons were not to be denied advancement because they were Communists. The policy then fol- lowed was to determine the indi- vidual's loyalty without reference to any political connection he might have.
 Former Attorney General Francis Riddle in l942 ruled that the Com nlunist party from the time of its inception in 1919 to the present time Is an organization that be- lieves in, advises, advocates and teaches the overthrow by force and violence the government of the United States"
 What effect the War Department order will have on Russian Amert- can relations is a matter of some speculation but no alarm. But 1t inevitably will arouse American Communists to new fury in denounc- ing President Truman. The Com munists began walking out on him some months ago.
 Truman Played
 Mir Truman is the man behind the Administrations steadily firm- ing policies toward Moscow. AIn- erican Communists know that and they do not like 1t.

 It was suggested in some quarters that the Russians would like to sci up a weak buffer state in Man. churia, while turning their interests to Europe and the Middle East.
 This was suggested especially be- cause of the presence of U. s Marines in northern China, a close to Manchuria as Chin Wang Tao, only IA miles from the greai wall along the gulf of Liaotung.
