British Troops Raid
Village Near Haifa in
Probe Of Ship Blast
200 Residents Herded
Into Wire Enclosure at
Dawn for Questioning
By the Associated Press

SEDOT YAM, Palestine, Aug.
26.-TWo hundred residents of
this tiny Jewish fishing village
were rounded up by British
troops and Palestine police this
morning in a move said by Off
GERS to be directed at finding the
frog men" who almost succeed
ed in sinking the immigrant
transport Empire Rival in Haifa
Harbor last week.
The village was surrounded by a
brigade unit before dawn and the
villagers were herded into barbed-
wire Enclosures for questioning by
police while Army crews searched
homes and buildings. Mine de-
tector equipment and dogs formerly
used for mine detection in Ger
many were used in the search.
Raid Complete Surprise.
Brig. r. H. Anderson. commander
OF the &c Brigade, who was in
. charge of the operation, said the
village was cut off before dawn ano
we believe ,the raid was a com
plete surprise to the villagers.
He said the village, only 5 miles
from Haifa, was one of the bases
for persons who blasted the ship
and added: I'VE know the village
has harbored illegal forces
Villagers said the search was the
second conducted here. They added
that the first search was made
June 80
Brig. Anderson said that today's
roundup was aimed only at persons
connected with the. explosion, and
was not for explosive materials,
arms or illegal immigrants.
March Quietly to Enclosures.
! Villagers marched quietly to
hastily erected wire Enclosures and
answered questions by British au-
! thorities.
| The military operation followed
the pattern of a full-scale invasion
Lines of troop-carrying trucks, field
Kitchens, radio communication sys-
TENS and first-aid facilities stood
among the scattered rubble of an
ancient Roman fortress.
Three Sherman tanks were de-
ployed in supporting formation. AL

The funeral of former Supreme

in his home town, Elkton, KY,
for which he had a quiet lifelong
fondnesS, in strong contrast to
his often fiery career as leading
dissenter against New Deal laws
before his retirement in 1941.
The 84-year-old jurist died Sat-

though in poor health for more than
a year, he showed improvement at
the hospital until last Friday. His
brother, DR.. Robert P. McReynolds
of Los Angeles, only surviving close
relative, left that day for home.
DR.. McReynolds was located in
Chicago and called back when Jus
tice McReynolds developed signs of
pneumonia and a failing heart.
Death came at 9:25 pm. Saturday.
Brig. Gen. Walter C. Beach. hospi-

New Freeway Route
Avoids Woodacres
And Bradley Hills
Planners Seek to Meet
Objections Of Property
Owners in Montgomery

A new route for the highly
controversial northwest freeway
has been drawn up by the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, designed
to overcome previous objections
by Montgomery County property
owners, it was revealed today by
Park Commissioner E. Brooke
Lee.
The route will leave Macarthur
boulevard in the proposed new
George Washington parkway at
Cabin John, instead of at Dalecarlia
Reservoir 1t will proceed to
Thomas Branch and join the free
way as originally proposed at Tuck
erman's lane, about 21a miles south
of Rockville.
By-Passes Bradley Hills.
In, this way, by-passing both Brad
ley Hills and Woodacres whose resi-
dents led opposition to the original
route, it will cross Bradley boule-
ward about l mile west of the origi-
nally proposed road.
From Tuckerman's lane it will
closely follow the roadbed as origi-
nally laid out and join the Frederick
highway at Henderson's corner,
miles north of Gaithersburg.
The new route adds only one-hali
mile to the total length of the prof.
ect, Mr. Lee explained, and also
the advantage of utilizing about
three additional miles of the new
George Washington parkway.
Hearing Sought.
Mr.. Lee said the new route has
been worked out following discus

Commission, and he believes 1t will

On the bright side, a continuation
of the present upward trend of out

Georgia County Unit
Voting System Upheld
By Federal Court
Three-Judge Tribunal
Cites Electoral College as
Precedent for Legality
B, the Associoted Press

ATLANTA, Aug. ga three
judge Federal Court today up
held Georgia's county unit voting
system of deciding Democratic
primary elections and refused to
invalidate nomination of Eugene
Talmadge to fourth term as
Governor.
The tribunal dismissed suit of
an Emory University professor and
an Atlanta woman civic leader
which sought to have the unit sys-
tenn declared void and the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Talmadge Cancelled.
The judges said it was their
unanimous opinion that IAN inter-
locutory injunction should be de-
nied.'
The opinion said these unit votes
also appear in the Electoral College
in choosing President, so that
there have been Presidents vino die
not receive majority of the popu-
lar vote
Traiied in Popular Vote.
In the July II Democratic pri-
mary, Mr.. Talmadge won the nom-
ination under the unit vote system
although he trailed James V. Car
michael, backed by Gov. Ellis Arnall
by about $4,000 votes in the State
wide popular vote total.
Under the unit vote system, each
county is allocated a designated
number of unit votes-from two to
six. The candidates receiving the
most popular votes in a county re-
ceived its unit votes. There are 41O
unit votes in the State and 206 are
required to nominate.
In the suit, DR.. Cullen B. Gosnell
and Mr.. Robert Lee Truman, former
president of the Atlanta League of
Women Voters, contended that the
system violated the equal rights pro-
vision of the 14th Amendment to
the Constitution.
They said vote in a small county
allotted two unit votes would have
perhaps as much as 100 times the
value as vote in Fulton ATLANTA
County, arbitrarily pegged at six
unit votes.

Limited Autonomy
For Welfare Board
Endorsed by Mason
Commissioner Opposes,
However, Wide Control
Asked by Committee

Commissioner Guy Mason to-
day proposed limited autonomy
for the Districts Board of Public
Welfare, but opposed granting
the board the complete control
recommended by a 67-member
committee of the Council of So
cial Agencies.
At the same time Edgar Morris,
chairman of the welfare board,
announced the board would take up
the Citizens Committee report at
the regular monthly board meet
ing this afternoon.
Mr.. Mason favored putting the
welfare board on the same basis as
the Board of Education, which gets
its money through the District Gov
ernment and submits its expendi-
lures to District audit, but is other
wise free of municipal control.
As an alternative to limited au-
tonomy Mr.. Mason proposed renov-
ing the welfare department from
welfare board jurisdiction and set
ting it UP as separate department
under the Commissioners, similar to
the recently created Department OF
Corrections.
Committee Backed by Survey.
The Citizens Committee. headed
by the Right Rev. Angus Dun
Episcopal Bishop of Washington
entered the Districts long and bitter
battle over welfare administration
on the side of control by an auton-
omous citizen board on the basis
of a private survey lasting six
months. The committee favored
creation of board with complete
control over all public welfare
agencies and institutions with au-
thority to administer all public well
fare statutes here.
The longtime controversy hao
centered on whether the boarG
should be in full authority as 8
policy-making administrative body
or merely advisory to a welfare de.
partment under the Commissioners
Mr.. Mason, the Commissioner ir
charge of welfare activities under
the existing setup, characterized the
committees report as sound ano
good but he said he personally
doubted whether the Commissioners
or Congress would grant the welfare
board the full autonomy which the
report recommended.
Example Is Cited.
Mr. Mason cited the smooth work.
ing relationship between the Com
missioners and the Board of Educa.
ton as an example of efficiency
possible under the formula ht
recommended for the Welfare
Board. pointing out that he hae
previously recommended that ths

Bodies of Four u. S. Flyers
Brought Down From Alps

BELGRADE. Aug 26 (P,.-The
bodies of American flyers who per-
.ished August 10 when a second
United States transport was shot
down were brought from the Julian
Alps to Ljubljana today under an
honor guard escort of the Yugoslav
4th Army.
-Four coffins draped with American
flags were placed aboard a United
States-made weapons carrier after
the bodies of the air1nen were re-
examined today at the village of
koprivnik, scene of their mass burial
by Yugoslav peasants.
An exhaustive examination by
United States grave registration
representatives and two Yugoslav
doctors ascertained that it is al
most certain" the remains of four
bodies were disinterred from the
grave in tiny Holy Cross Church
Cemetery, said 1t. Col Chester M.
Stratton, United States assistant
military attache.
Previously it had been reported
that only three Americans were
buried there.
Search for Other Body.
Col. Stratton said bits of wreck
age of the CAT, shot down in. flames
by Yugoslav fighters, will be moved
in hopes of finding the fifth body.
Search parties have combed the
mountains for it without result.
The cavalcade which transported
the four collins through the resort
town of Bled to Ljubljana was or
ganized by the commanding general
of the Yugoslav 4th Army, 1t. Gen.
Danilo Lekic, in whose area the two
United States planes were downed.
The column consisted of six Ger
man-made military command cars
and two jeeps.
Riding in the procession were 80
officers Of the 4th Army and of the
Yugoslav airforce, making up the
honor guard which Gen Lekic had
promised to furnish when he con-
terred yesterday with Col Stratton
YugOslav Army Presents Flowers.
The bodies were carried from the
rugged hills by an escort of eight
Yugoslav soldiers of the 4th Army
to the point where they could be
placed on the weapons carrier.
A wreath presented by the 4th
Army and the aviators attached to
the 4th Army were placed on the
military hearse, along with other
flowers.
Col. Richard Partridge, the Ameri-
can military attache, announced
that instructions had been received
from Paris to send the bodies to the
United States for burial
Honor Guard for Bodies.
A guard of honor will remain with
the bodies at mortuary in Ljubl-
jana until they are placed aboard
the private plane Of United States
Ambassador Richard C. Patterson
for the flight, possibly tomorrow, to
Belgrade.
A Yugoslav fighter squadron will
circle Ljubljana and escort the
Ambassadors plane to the Yugoslay
capital.

request for highest military honors
(The State Department. in a
