Yellow Fever Serum Flown
To Stricken Panama Area

An outbreak of yellow fever in a
small village near Panama City will
be fought with $4,000 doses of vac
cine flown to Panama yesterday by
an Air Force plane, a Government
official said today.
DR.. M. E. Bustamante, secretary
general of the Pan American San
itary Bureau here, said the disease
had taken the lives of six persons
in Pacora, Is miles northeast OF
Panama City. It is the first out
break of the dread tropic disease IN
20 years.
An additional 100000 doses of the
yellow fever vaccine are on the way
to the stricken area from Columbia,
Dr.. Bustamante said. He said he
expected the outbreak would be con-
fined to the village.
The yellow fever vaccine was Civ
ell to American Army personnel
during World War II and not a
single case of the disease was re-
ported. 1t is not produced by COM
mercial drug companies and the
only source in this country is the
United States Public Health Ser
vices serum laboratory at Hamilton,
Mont.

Body Found After Rail Crash
Identified as D. T.. Man

The body of a dining car waiter,
missing four days after train de-
railment near Groveland, Fla, last
Tuesday, has been identified as that
of Lewis H. Miller, At, of 2l26
Eleventh street NV.
Deputy Sheriff LIE Roy Campbell
of Leesburg, Fla, said the body was
pinned under an overturned diner
which had lain alongside the track
until yesterday. The diner was
among the last of the Wreckage to
be cleared away.
The wrecked train was the Sea-
board Air Lines Orange Blossom
Special. Five of the 20 persons in
iured were still in a Leesburg hos
pital yesterday.
Mrs. Maize Miller said her hus-
band had been employed by the
railroad for six years. Before that
he had been a waiter at the Cosmos
Club here for two years, and pre-
viously had worked for the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad.

Legion Post Opposes
Closing Of Street

The proposed closing of Kennedy
street between the B. & o. Railroad
tracks and Riggs road NE, was OPP
posed today by Fort Stevens Post
No. 80, American Legion, because
the plan would leave no back exit
from lot owned by the post on
Riggs road.
Emmett L. Sheehan, representing
the post, voiced this objection at
a hearing at the District Building
called to consider the proposed clos
ing of a number of streets in the
Chillum section of Northeast Wash
ington.
The changes were proposed by
Surveyor F. F. Healy to permit bet
ter subdivision of the area because
of the topography and recent re-
coming there. The changes would
allow eventual cutting through of
Second, Third and Fifth streets,
Chillum Place and Riggs road NE.
Mr.. Sheehan said clubhouse on
the lot is planned some time in the
future. He maintained that closing
the street would reduce the value
and disability of the property.
The Commissioners took under
Amusement the proposed changes
at the conclusion of the brief hear
ing.
C. M. Davidson, representing the
YWCA, appeared at the hearing to
ask the Commissioners to change
the long-range highway develop
ment plan of the District so that a
through property in the 44O0 block
of Macarthur boulevard NV. owned
by the YWCA. Mr.. Davidson said
an industrial arts school would be
built on the property some time in
the future.

Ke|eher 10 Pay Fees
of $500 for Wife

John B. CBlackjack) Keleher will
have to pay his wifes attorneys
81, 500 for. their work in her divorce
suit that was dismissed last week.
| Judge Edward A. Tamm set at
tornevs fees today in District Court
on the case which took nine days to
hear. James J. Laughlin, who re-
presented Mrs Anna T. Keleher,
asked for a $4,000 fee. but Judge
Tam set it at $4,000. Roy st.
Lewis. who formerly represented
Mrs. Keleher in the divorce action.
asked for $4,000, but Judge Tamm
set 1t at $500.
Alvin Newmyer, attorney for Mr..
Kelehery filed new suit this
morning for absolute divorce for his
client charging Mrs. Keleher with
desertion. The suit states that
Mrs. Keleher deserted her husband
in March, 1916, and charges that
she took $4,000 from their safe
deposit box. There was much testi-
mony about the $4,000 in the
divorce suit that was dismissed last
week.
Mr.. Newmyer asked the court to
dismiss a new suit for limited
divorce filed on behalf of Mrs.
Keleher by Mr.. Laughlin on Satur-
day. MI. Newmyer said that filing
of this action constitutes both an
abuse of the process of this court
and a contempt of court herein on
part of her agents" The motion
pointed out that the suit involved
the same parties and the same sub
iect matter as the suit previously
dismissed.
Judge Tamm dismissed on Friday
a limited divorce suit charging
cruelty brought by Mrs. Keleher and
a cross suit for limited divorce
brought by Mr.. Keleher.
Mr.. Keleher was ordered to pay
his wife 500 a week maintenance.

Inauguration Tickets
Don't Reserve Seats
In Stands at Capitol

Tickets for the Inauguration
ceremonies at the Capitol do
not entitle the holders to re-
served seats, Leslie l.. Bifde,
executive secretary of the Joint
Congressional Committee on
the Inauguration, emphasized
today.
Mr.. Biffle said a number Of
persons apparently had pre-
sumed the seats will be reserved
because the tickets are num-
bered. The numbers were used
for clerical purposes only, he
explained.
A ticket merely entities the
holder to enter a particular
section of seats. After that, it's
first come, first served.
The only exceptions are the
seats for the official party and
certain working press. photo
graphic. radio and television
locations.

District Ready With Snow PIows
In Case of Inaugural Storm

As. In 1947 and 1914, it rained. In
temperature. the date has had a
7e-year average high of 43 degrees,
but in 1910 the mercury slipped to
a frigid 8 above zero.
This weeks snoW-removal plans
have been prepared by a committee
appointed by the Commissioners and
headed by William A. Xanten, SUI
perintendent of sanitation.
In case it is showing on Inaugural
ton Day. the parade route will be
plowed continuously until about II
am. Fourteen ploWs would be used
along Pennsylvania avenue, and they
would make their last trip shortly
before the President left for the
Capitol. About Is minutes before
parade time, the ploWs would again
cover the parade route.
In addition. sanding operations
would be performed along the line
of march by four units of the San
itation Division and four units OF
the Capital Transit Co.
The blowing of the parade route
would be in charge of Thomas w.
Bishton, assistant superintendent of
sanitation, and the sanding would
be supervised by Melvin j. Griggs.
The clearing of snow at the pa
rade assembly and the disbanding
points would be done by troops
from Fort Belvoir and Army trucks.
Employees of the Sanitation Division
would help.
In case of snow earlier in the
week, the parade area would be
kept clear by crews of men es-
pecially assigned to the work.
In the event icy conditions de-
velop on the parade route, rock salt
will be spread, in accordance with
ARRANGEMENTS made with the Capital
Transit Co. The use of salt has
been prohibited on Pennsylvania
avenue in other snoWstorms because

he said philosophically. He had
81 cents and an old token, but
scorned buttons.
The project involved moving 112
platform sections from % locations
on both sides of the Pennsylvania
avenue car tracks from Nineteenth
street, through the downtown area
to Seventh street NY. Each sec
ton weighs about 600 pounds, high
way officials said. The platforms
will be stored until after the parade,
but zones are painted on the paw
ing to denote loading areas.
The last time the platforms were
up was the parade for the King
and Queen of England in 1899.
Mr.. Brown registered little pique
when William Thomas bent over
for another quarter. Mr.. Thomas
SO. colored, of 1910 Seventh street
NV, was playing the cleanup posi-
ton with push broom.

Truman Urges
New Law for
Reorganization
Permanent Act Asked,
Would Include All
Executive Agencies

President Truman today rec
commended permanent legislation
that would give the President
authority to reorganize any
agency of the executive branch
of the Government, subject only
to congressional approval.
In a message to Congress asking
for statute to supplant that which
expired on April /, last year, the
President said: mo agency or func-
ton of the executive branch should
be exempted from its operation.
Such exemptions prevent the Presi-
dent and the Congress from deriving
the full benefit of the reorganization
plan procedure, primarily by pre-
GLIDING action on major organiza-
tional problems. A seemingly linn
tied exemption may in fact render
an entire needed reorganization af-
fecting numerous agencies and
functions wholly impractical.
THE proper protection against
the possibility of unwise reorgani-
zation lies, not in the statutory ex-
emption from the reorganization
plan procedure, but in the authority
Of Congress to reject any such plan
by simple majority vote by both
houses" v
Also Urges Early Approval.
In earlier reorganization legisla-
ton Congress customarily has ex-
empted certain commissions and
other groups from its provision. The
President also urged that the legis-
lation be enacted early.
The Hoover Commission on Gov
eminent Reorganization already has
recommended that the President
get new legislation that would
enable him to transfer functions
and effect consultations by execu-
tive order. The statute which the
President seeks to revive was passed
in 1945, when Mr.. Truman first
took Office and replaced earlier leg
islation enacted in 1889
The President told Congress today
that the Hoover Commission shortly
will be reporting and that its recon-
mendations will need implementing
legislation to become effective. He
said the 1945 Reorganization Act
had benefited the Government,
pointing out that the permanent
Housing and Home Finance Agency,
was an outstanding example Of what
has been accomplished.
He also pointed to the National
Military ablishment which was
set up under individual legislation
as "a major improvement" The
President said that it is his firm
intention" to seek improved man
agement throughout the executive
branch of the Government.
Two proposals which he has sent
to Congress in recent messages, he
said, will aid in this direction. One
of these, he amplif1ed, is to in
crease the salaries of top-level Of
f1cials and the other is his request
for a 100000 fund for manage
ment improvement.
Under the Presidents proposal,
any reorganization he prescribes
would become effective within go
days unless rejected by the houses
of Congress.
THE proper execution Of the laws
demand a simple, workable method
of making organizational adjust
ments," the President said. He
stressed that the programs he has
sent to Congress in his three major
messages-state of the Union, eco
nomic and budget-called for "effec-
tive administrative machinery"
Vice President-elect Barley said
he thought Congress would act with
reasonable promptitude" on the
preeident's raullpSt
