Radcliffe Opens Drive
With Claim 0'Conor
Approves His Record

Senator Radcliffe opened his cam
paign yesterday for denomination by
his party in next months Demo-
cratic primaries In Maryland with
a speech at Pocomoke City in which
he maintained that his chief oppo-
nent, Gov. O'Conor, by inference
approves of my record"
At the same time it was announced
in Baltimore that Howard Bruce.
flnancier and industrialist, has
thrown his support behind Gov.
O'Conor. Mr. Bruce said he would

Democratic Women's Club tomorrow

Maryland political scene, w. Preston
Lane, jr., candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination, released state
ment on the hospital situation in
Maryland. He said that he would
see to it that more mental institu-
tions in particular would be estab-
lished in the State.
Senator Radcliffe in his first and
perhaps my only" campaign speech,
said that Mr.. O'Conor's platform
suggests no reference applicable to
any one of the burning, stupendous
questions and controversial meas
ures before Congress affecting the
welfare not alone of the United
States, but of the world"
Favors Price Controls.

tration, the Senator declared he
favored price control as means of
combating imitation, and had de-
voted much time to clearing up
problems ranging from the trivial to
the most serious with the admins
trative officers of the OPA' on be-
half of constituents.
Turning to labor, he said:
MY good friend and temporary
opponent, the Governor, if the pa
pers are correct, seems to be embar-
rassed by the hearty endorsement
of his candidacy by the CIO Politi-
cal Action Committee.
He doubtless welcomes their Sc
cret votes and his difidence is in
welcoming the CIO voters publicly
Discounts PAC Influence.
PERSONALLY, 1 am not dismayeo
that the political managers of the
CIO now, as always, oppose me. The
result of that opposition is told by
the election figures in my ever in
creasing majorities.'
He added he favored unions and
collective bargaining, but opposed
the sacrifice of all other callings
occupations, all treasury funds fol
the supposed advancement of labor
and to make about l20-odd million
people subservient to a single, prior
preferred interest. let it be labor OF
any other interest"

with patients and under-s supplied
with staff
The situation in Baltimore City
requires prompt action. There is
no State institution for the mentally
i'll in the city, which contains ap.
proXimately half the population Of
