Association at Savannah, Ga, and

BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Sept. 25.-Mary-

100000 for the election campaign.
Financial spokesmen said the
campaign already is we'll under way
and that between $4,000 and $780,
900 is in hand.
They had hopes of getting addi-
tional funds from the party's Ma
tional Committee on the Financing
iof Congressional campaigns.
The" States Republicans tried to
raise S150,000 in 1914, $125,000 in
1910 and 100000 in 1886, falling
about $1,000 short each time.
Some of the leaders said they also
hoped to make a substantial con-
tribution to the national campaign
In the past they have been calico
on for only token payments. On the
basis of voting population, Maryland
might be expected to provide about
$4,000 for the national campaign
chest.

Fingerprint, Autopsy
Reports Awaited for
Glue in Double SIayinq

Hope for a substantial lead in the
Glen Burnie double-murder case
was pinned today on fingerprint and
autopsy reports expected to come
from the FBI and the Baltimore
medical examiner.
Although he announced the ar
rest of three suspects overnight,
bringing the total thus far ques-
toned to nearly Is, Chief John w.
Souers of Anne Arundel County po-
lice apparently expected little of
them as he sought the slayer of
John H. Mahlan, 25, and Mary C..
Kline, Is. ..
Mr.. Mahlan's blood-stained bullet
punctured automobile was found a
week ago miles southeast of Glen
Burnle. Two days later the bodies,
both shot in the head, were found
IL miles from the car at a point 6
miles west of Annapolis.
The war veteran and postal clerk
had been dating red-haired Miss
Kline for two years and last Friday
night had taken her for an auto
ride when the tragedy occurred.
There was hope that well-de-
veloped fingerprints on Mr. Mahlan's
car would turn up definite lead
and that completed autopsy findings
would let investigators know def
nitely if they were dealing with a
sex slayer.
Police still were holding a 49,
year-old Army private who attended
Miss Kline's funeral yesterday and
was overheard to say he had known
the recent high school graduate
since June. He was still in the lock-
up even though police said they
did not regard him as suspect.
Baltimore police turned over to
the county force a report that a
hunter had seen black sedan about
8 80 m. last Saturday 100 feet from
Mr.. Mahlan's abandoned car.
The report said the car pointed
a spotlight on the hunter for
