Maryland Democrats
Renominate Sasscer
And 7 Of ; Others
By John V. Horner

Three of Maryland's four
Democratic House members, in
Guiding Representative SaSScer
of the 5th district, won renomi-
nation yesterday in primaries
which failed to arouse political
enthusiasm.
Only Representative Meade of the
turbulent I'd district was rejected
by his party. On the basis of nearly
complete unofficial returns, the first
term Democrat was defeated by
State Senator William P. Bolton in
| the Baltimore City-Baltimore Coun-
! ty contest.
F. Byrne Austin, Takoma Park
businessman and party worker
of long standing, won the Demo-
cratic House nomination in the 9Th
district after a hard fight with Will
Allen, labor backed Bethesda news
paperman.
In the States closest race, Mr.
Austin eked out victory over Mr..
Allen by 297 votes, with four small
rural precincts unreported. He will
oppose Representative Beall of
FroStburg in November.
BealI and Miller Unopposed.
Mr.. Beall and Representative Mil
ler of the 1st district, the only Re-
publicans of the States congress
sional delegation, were renominated
by their party without opposition.
In other voting yesterday town
officials were elected by nine COM
munitieS in Prince Georges County
and 10 in Montgomery. The coun-
ties also completed the makeup of
delegations to the State conventions
to be held later this month in Bal
timore.
Representative SaSsCer was an
easy winner in the 5th district.
Complete, unofficial returns showed
he polled l6,l04 votes to 4,946 for
George Sachse, Glen Burnie lawyer
and tobacco grower.
Weidemeyer Nominated.
The 5th district Republicans NOM
mated c. Maurice Weidemeyer,
Washington and Annapolis attorney,
to oppose Mr.. Sasscer in November
On the basis of reports from all but
10 precincts, Mr.. Weidemeyer, the
organization candidate, received
2,453 votes to 1,45O for Edwin A.
Glenn, Suitland taXicab operator
and 324 for Frank E. Vanderhoof of
SuitlGnd.
Principal interest in the primary
results locally centered in the close
contest for the 9Th district House
nomination.
Mr.. Allen, who registered as a
voter only few months ago, car
ried Allegany and Washington
Counties by substantial margins. He
also far outdistanced Mr.. Austin in
Frederick County, which was won
by a third candidate, Dawson j.
Horine of Myersville.
! Mr.. Austins victory was scored on
the basis of his support from Mont
gomery. which gave him 1882 votes
against 1,948 for Mr.. Allen. The
nominee also carried Garrett Coun-
ty, but by much smaller margin
With 276 of $50 precincts counted,
the vote was:
Mr.. Austin 1914, Mr.. Allen 3,517
Mr.. HORNE 1,675 and Thomas
O'Connell of Forest Glen 484.

Rail Strike Is Likely,
Mediator Declares
After Futile ParIeys
BY the Associoted Press

CHICAGO, May A Nation
wide railroad strike, set to start
a week from today, appears like
ly, according to a Federal me-
diator who has been striving
to head of the walkout of three
operating brotherhoods.
1T looks very much like there
might be strike" Frank Douglass
chairman of the National (Railway)
Mediation Board, declared yester-
day. The pictures does not look
good"
His comment followed four days
OF apparently unsuccessful meetings
with the unions and carriers. How
ever, he said the board planned
further sessions today in a final at
tempt to settle the wage dispute.
Tuesday today might very well
be our last day in Chicago Mr.
Douglass told newsmen. IF the pic
ture doesn't change we may well
decide there is nothing more to dc
here"
Mr.. Douglass said tn, white
House was being kept informed OF
the progress of negotiations" There
was no immediate word from Wash
ington on whether some Govern
ment action might be expected. Mr.
Douglass did not disclose who was
being kept advised at the White
House on the talks here.
There appears no further step fo1
the Government to take to head of
the strike by the carriers key
workers-about 10000 engineers
firemen and switchmen-w which
would cripple the country's raj
service. The mediation boards
last-minute attempt to avert the
threatened tieup is the final stel
provided by present law. The dis.
pute has been threshed out in ali
procedure provided by the Railway
Labor Act.
The carriers, Mr.. Douglas said
are standing pat on the recommend
alton made by presidential fact
finding board for a wage hike OF
1871 cents an hour and changes in
some working rules. The unions
'he said, are insisting that the rail-
roads negotiate on rules changes
not recommended by the board.
Neither side has deviated from
the positions 1t had when we came
here last Thursday morning." Mr.
Douglass said.

One of these is known as impe-
tigo, an infection which produces
blisters that break open and form
crusts. In one series of cases, 5S out
of 60 patients were cured in seven
days by the use of penicillin oint-
ment. In the two instances in which
cure was not produced, the oint-
ment was improperly applied or not
used long enough. Even here, how
ever, the patient may become hyper
sensitive to the ointment and its
use must be stopped.
One ordinarily stubborn skin con-
dition is an infection of the roots
of the hair or of the beard, known
as sycosis vurgaris. Of Is patients
treated with penicillin ointment,
eight were reported cured.
Another skin condition known as
ecthyma produces deep-seated
sores. This disorder may develop
following impetigo. Boils or furun-
cles do not respond to the local use
of penicillin ointment. When a per-
son has a number of boils, the in
lection of penicillin into muscle
seems to give a great deal of benefit.

EVEN such a drug as penicillin,
usually so safe under medical adj
ministration, and sure in it's action
against germs, has its limitations
and drawbacks.
We would naturally expect salves
containing penicillin to be of great
value in the treatment of skin dis
orders, because in this way high
concentration of the drug can be APP
piled directly to the site of the in
lection.
Penicillin Ointment
In practice, however, we have
found that penicillin ointment is not
always so useful as we had hoped.
In the first place, certain strains of
germs which cause skin infections
are resistant to penicillin. Even
where they are not, the patient may
develop an oversensitivity to the
penicillin itself which makes the
prolonged treatment needed impos-
sible.
On the other hand, penicillin
ointment has been most valuable in
curing certain skin diseases where
the infection is confined to the outer
most layers of the skin.

Answer: A thorough study by a
physician is needed to find the cause
for the trouble. 1t is probably not
dangerous disorder; however, you
might be suffering from bowel in
lection, ulcer of the stomach or gall

Until the cause is found, proper
