To Be Submitted
County Parents

The Board of Education decided
Tuesday to submit to parents a
proposal under which they could
subscribe to accident insurance
coverage for their children while
they are at school.
The insurance plan, advanced by
the State of Maryland, would pro-
vide $3.50 medical expense coverage
for a SO annual premium. The plan
is voluntary and will not be put
into effect unless 25 per cent OF
the school children in Maryland
are enrolled.
Assistant Supt. f. M. Douglass
said holders of policies would be
insured from the time they leave
their homes until their return, in
connection with any school-spon-
sored activity. The plan would be
handled by private company.
William C. Feddeman, director,
reported to the board on adult
education in the county. In IL
years, he said, the enrolment has
grown from 425 to 2,225 with 123
different classes now necessary.
Police CorpI. Charles o. Seek
and three assistants were COM
mended and the police department
generally was thanked for work
with the school safety patrol. The
commentator named Policemen

Wholesalers Blame
Weather, Marketing
For Beef Price Rise

Wholesalers said today that
weather. storage Withdrawals and
hasty shipment of granted cat
tie may have contributed to high
er beef prices for consumers here
and decreased earnings for stock
producers in the Southwest.
Despite Agriculture Department
forecasts of lower beef prices early
in September. the wholesale and
retail trend has continued up
ward in this market and many
other parts Of the country.
Meat prices in general have
held fairly steady in recent weeks,
with some commodities such as
pork showing drops, dealers ex-
planned. Top-grade beef items
have gone up slowly and show no
prospect of a marked decline dur
ing the remainder of this month,
they said.
At the same time reports from
Texas describe cattle growers as
worried by a continued fall in
prices they receive.
Market Is Cited.
Washington wholesalers hesi-
tated to attempt a full explana-
ton Of the paradox. Some said,
however. they were '1eery" about
predictions that meat prices here
will remain on the upgrade and
perhaps reach record peaks before
winter. They declared they still
expect meat prices to drop in the
next few months. :.
They called attention to the fol-
lowing recent livestock market
and pure asing Developments
which they said might have had
something to do with currently
differing price trends at consumer
and producer levels:
Choice cattle from granted
lots have become scarce and more
expensive. Normally the market
ing peak for such cattle does not
come until late in November, but
an unusually large number were
shipped earlier this year.
Weather Seen Factor.
Cattle fed on the grass ranges
have not yet begun to arrive In
large numbers at livestock centers.
Comparatively cool weather in

early September may have added
to public demand for meat, espe-
cially beef, at retail markets and
caused q temporarily shorter sup
ply and price rises.
Meat stocks in storage at the
beginning Of September were con-
siderably below normal. This re-
suited principally from an nusu-
ally heavy rate Of Withdrawals
from storage during August.
Heavy downward pressure" de-
veloped last week at the Chicago
livestock market, dealers reported.
Receipts in some categories were
the largest for any comparable
period in almost two years. There
has been no major break in live
stock quotations as yet, although

a tendency to 60 down, dealers

PACT DEBATE
CONTINUES,
u. s. SENATE
Baldwin Makes Plea for
Passage : Attempts 10
Write-in May Fail
By DON WHITEHEAD

WASHINGTON, July 2O-LR-
Senator Baldwin (R-Conn), urging
the Senate to approve the North
Atlantic Treaty, said today is could
be expanded later into a World
Alliance to guard the peace.
He suggested also that an Inter-
national Police Force is within
the range of possibility" under the
treaty.
Some time late tomorrow the
Senate will vote on the 12-nation
pact. The big issue is whether
critics will be able to write in a
declaration that the treaty does
not carry any obligation for the
United States to furnish arms to
the other signers.
Senate leaders said the Senate is
certain to turn down efforts to
write that in.
Baldwin argued to the Senate
that any major conflict in the fu-
ture between two other nations
ultimately would involve the United
States.
I'VE know the hope of security
and peace by isolation is futile and
dead" he said He went on to say
the pact is not threat to any ma
ton unless that nation chooses
to cast itself in the role of agrees
sor.'

(By the Associated Press

Russia has sent a diplomatic
note to Italy protesting her sign
ing of the North Atlantic Treaty
Russia charged Italy violated the
terms of her peace treaty. The
British and italian Foreign Offices
denied it.
simultaneously Russia sent pro
test notes to the United States,
Britain and France accusing these
powers of urging Italy to join the
Atlantic Pact in violation of peace
treaty terms.
Ratification of the pact is under
discussion in Italy's lower House Of
Parliament-theC Chamber of Depu-
ties. 1t is. expected to pass both
Houses without difficulty.
Specifically Russia said the
Italian action hroke Italy's peace
treaty signed in Paris in February
1947. This treaty, Russia said,
pledged Italy ito abstain from
undertaking any actions directed
against states with which that
treaty was signed and consequently
not to join any alliances or other
groupings pursuing aggressive

Bullets Of Gangsfers Hit
Four, Including Gar Cohen,
In Gambling War in |. A.

LOS ANGELES, July 20-tR---
Gangsters' eullets early today cut
down gambling car Mickey Cohen
and three other persons-including
a state-appointed bodyguard for
the dapper hoodlum-as the party
left smart Sunset Strip cafe.
None of the party was killed
but all were in serious
including Harry Cooper,
SO, special bodyguard assigned
to Cohen by the California Attor-
ney General.
The other victims were Miss Dee
David, rs, a blonde, and Edward
(Neddie) Herbert, 35, a Coher
henchman. Herbert escaped IL
gangland bullets only month ago
as he was entering his apartment.
Cohen, 80, key figure in the
sizzling Grand Jury inquiry into
police vice tieups which already has
resulted in a wholesale shakeup OF
the Los Angeles police department.
GUARD ASSIGNED
Only yesterday Attorney General
Fred Howser disclosed that he had
assigned Cooper to guard Cohen,
presumably because Cohen had ex-
pressed fear that Eastern gang
sters were in town to assassinate
him.
Barney Ruditsky, co-owner of
Sherry's Restaurant, where the
shooting took place, said everybody
was leaving the place when the
shotgun charges rang out. The
time was approximately 4 m,
psf.
ut sounded like firecrackers and
everybody hit the walk. There were
about 25 or 80 people on the street
at the time.
Cooper yelled I'm hit"
IN MANY BRUSHES
Cohen, who fronts as Holly
wood haberdasher, has had many
brushes with the law and several
with assassins' bullets. A year ago
Harry "Hooky" Rothman, hoodlum
associate of Cohen, was slain in
Cohen's store.
Police grilled Cohen extensively
in the Buggy Siegel killing of two
years ago but nothing ever came
of it. Siedel was ambushed as he
sat in the luxurious mansion Of
international playgirl Virginia Hill.
The arrest and quick, secret re-
lease of seven Cohen henchmen
last April in an assault case
touched off the current Grand
Jury investigation which has rocked
the Los Angeles police department.
The henchmen were arrested by
two rookie policemen soon after
they were seen leaving the scene
of a beating of radio shop owner.
Higher-ups in the police depart
ment are charged with ordering
their "hushed-up" release.
