Tito Scraps Treaty With Albania

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, (P)- Yugoslavia scrapped her treaty of friendship with Albania Saturday and charged that country with acts of hostility she said were pro- voked by Soviet Russia.
 It marked the first time Premier Marshal Tito's independent com munist government has taken the initiative in breaking off friend ship pacts with cominform coun- tries.
 Previously Russia, Polan d Czechoslovakia, Romania, Hun gary and Bulgaria all cast aside those ties with Yugoslavia in steps verging on a break in diplomatic relations.
 The note - more than 5000 words long-Was handed to the Al banian legation here at noon Sat urday.
 It listed in detail this country's accusations of 'hostile" acts on the part of Albania, but empha- sized at one point that the Tirana government had been pushed in- to its policy of open hostility and violation" of the treaty by Russia and the other cominform coun- tries.
 The formal renunciation fol- lowed by eight days a note to Al bania demanding that Albania cease hostile acts, live up to the terms of the treaty and reply to that request within the shortest possible time."
 That note fell just short of an ultimatum.

Receive Weak Radio Signals From "Murphy?''

FAIRBANKS, (P) - Weak, un- decipherable radio messages in tensified the search today for It. Alexander N. Murphy, 10th Res cue Squadron pilot from Kansas City, who has been missing since Nov. 3.
 The radio signals were heard at Ladd Air Force Base, here, at Ophir and Nome, west of here. and as far away as McChord Air Force Base near Tacoma, Wash.
 Ladd authorities said they were reluctant to believe the sender is Murphy until further contact is made.
 A Fairbaks radio operator pick ed up the signals and said he ask ed the sender to signal three long dashes if he were Murphy. Three long dashes followed. But atmOs- pheric conditions shut down fur ther contact.
 Planes from 10th Rescue are using radio directional finders to locate the source of the signals, which are believed to come from the Galena and Ruby area, some 250 miles west of here.
 Previous searches for Murphy and his Cessna plane have concen- trated in a 150-mile circle from Fairbanks.
 Murphy, 29, is listed from 2012 Kansas Ave, Kanssa City, Mo-, al- though he and his wife, Bernadine, and three-year-old daughter Sher- yl Ann reside here.

DR.. John Francis Potter. %,
member of the graduating class OF
GEORGETOWN University Medical
School, yesterday received the an
Inual Cahill award for his research
thesis in surgery.
The medal and check for $50
was presented to the young doctor
by Mrs. James A. Cahill, whose
husband was professor of surgery
at the school nine years. The
award was given first in 1943, a
year after DR.. Cahill's death.
Conclusions drawn from the
winning thesis will be of outstand-
ing Importance in the field of sur
gerry. DR.. Robert j. Coffey. pro-
fessor of surgery, stated. The
award was made in his office at
the Georgetown University Medical
Center.
DR.. Potter's thesis. which will be
published in a national medical
journal, is titled "Aneurysm OF the
Splenic Artery" This condition,
he interpreted, is a dilitation-or
widening-of the splenic artery.
He explained that he became
interested in the subject after
observing a patient suffering from
the rare condition at Gallinger

He declared that since these laws
have been neglected for substan-
tial period, the guild does not sue-
gest that enforcement action be
taken In connection with violations
that have already occurred.
Asks Date TO BE Set
"On the contrary. Mr.. Murtha
wrote. we suggest that the Com
missioners issue public an
nouncement that these laws will
be enforced beginning with a near,
specified date"
The opinion gave the text OF
the law as passed by the Second
Legislative Assembly on June 20,
1872. and said that much OF the
same ground was covered In an
act adopted by the Third Legisla-
tive Assembly In 1873. The two
acts were passed during the brief
period when the people OF the
Capital could vote.
The popularity elected Assembly
passed a law giving Negroes equal
rights in restaurants. hotels. bar

public accommodat ton" the opin-
ion says. "and stiff penalties were
provided for violation.
Lack Of Repeal Claimed.
After 1874. when Congress
abolished the Legislative Assembly
and substituted the Commissioner
form OF government. with District
legislation becoming the exclusive
function OF Congress. no Law re-
pealing the acts was enacted by
Congress. the opinion stated.
The opinion also says the code
adopted in 1901 contained a re-
pealer clause which expressly re-
peals all acts OF the Legislative
Assembly with specified exemp-
tions. Among the acts exempted,
the opinion says. we're all police
regulations and generally all acts
relating to municipal affairs only.

which also Is unusual.
The thesis contains history OF
the case and an analysis OF 26 SIM
liar cases which heretofore had
been unreviewed. DR.. Potter said
there are approximately 145 cases
of the illness on record.
The condition. he emphasized, is
usually fatal because of the fire.
quency of rupture.
When the condition is diagnosed
pre- -operatively, the patients
chance of living Is greatly i'm
proved, DR.. Potter stressed. Other
conclusions to be drawn from the
thesis, according to the author
are:
That apprehension in the portal
vein and its tributaries may have
an important role to play in re-
production of the condition. THE
portal is the chief vein carrying
blood from the abdominal viscera
to the liverD
That the condition is most COM
mon in the female and rupture is
more common during pregnancy.
