In Fifth Maryland
County by z to !
Speeiol Dispatch 10 The S'or

LA PLATA, Md. June 22.-Slot
machines are legal in five Mary
land counties today as the result
of referendum yesterday in
which Charles County voters ap-
proved the devices by a majority
Of nearly 2 to /.
The unofficial count was 1878
for and 1.040 against.
In Calvert, Prince Georges and
st. Marys Counties the machines
were legalized in referendum and
in Anne Arundel County their
operation was sanctioned by leg
islative act signed by Gov.
O'Conor.
Informed sources said last night
that slot machines in Charles
County probably will be operated
Immediately and that law-en-
forcement officers are not expect
ed to interfere. The county COM
missioners will meet in special
session Tuesday to set up licens-
ing machinery.
43 Per Cent of Voters Cast Ballots.
About 43 per cent OF the 7.049
registered voters cast ballots yes
terday.
Only two districts reported ma
jorities against the machines.
They were Nanjemoy and Mar
bury. both in the western section
of the county. Both areas are al
most entirely agricultural. The
heaviest vote for the machines was
in the Newburg- Rock Point Sec
ton, where the tally was exactly
4 to /.
The only incident reported oc-
Cured at Pomonkey. where Joseph
r. Cavanagh of Indian Head
found a placard bearing slot ma
chine propaganda tackled to the
outside of the voting place.
Mr.. Cavanagh sent a telegram
of protest to the county Board
of Election Supervisors. Calvin
Compton, member of the board,
said he went to the place and took
the sign down. He said he be-
Alieved it probably was placed on
the building by prankSters.
Observers ascribed the unex-
pectedly large vote and top-heavy
majority to the fact that the
Republican Party organization
joined forces with slot machine
interests to put the bill across.
Called Vote of Confidence.
The measure was introduced by
State Senator James B. Monroe.
Republican. who said he consider
ed the results an overwhelming
vote Of confidence in party policies
and In his long-range program
for better school and bus facili-
ties for white and negro children.
Referring to provisions of the
bill allocating a part of the ex-
pected receipts from slot ma
chimes to the county hospital, fire
department and a proposed Ii
brary, Senator Monroe said, The |
vote will enable me to fulfill my
ambitions to give the county
these benefits and at the same
time to reduce the tax rate to 81
or less. The county tax rate per
$l00 is now s1.10. lowest in the
State. r.7sss.
AS soon as the result was known
a lively contest began shaping up
for the post of slot-machine in
spector created by the referendum
measure. Several Democrats and
Republicans are known to be
seeking the job. which will pay
SO 900 plus a 5000 expense allow
ance.
Party leaders are to meet with
in the next few days with the
county commissioners to discuss
the appointment.

Reds Will SET Up Own
Labor Group in u. s.,
Canadian Predicts
BY the Assoeioted Press

OTTAWA, Oct. IA Canadian
labor leader predicted today that
Communists will set up their own
labor organization in the United
States and Canada next year.
He was Sam Baron of Montreal,
Canadian director of the Textile
Workers Union of America
CIO). speaking at the unions
annual conference.
His declaration came as the
Canadian Congress of Labor pre-
pared to throw out one of its left
wing unions at its convention next
week and little more than a week
after another-the Canadian Sea-
mems Union-had been forced
out Of the Trades and Labor Con-
gress of Canada.
The Gel is to act against
the International Union of Mine,
Mill and Smelter Workers, which
has been under suspension since
last March for failing to conform
with Gel policies.
Together, the two unions had
membership of about $4,000.
though their ranks have been
readily raided by right-Wing
bodies since they came under fire.
Another union that will come
under attack at the Gel Con-
vention Is the United Electrical
Workers of America. five of whose
ofhcers-including Canadian Di-
rector Clarence S. Jackson-are
under suspension from the Con-
gresS.
A demand for suspension of
the big UEW was possibility for
the convention.
Mr.. Baron predicted eventual
expulsions and other disciplinary
action against Communists. He
added they would not leave VOL
unfairly, preferring the role of
martyrs.

Wants To Pay

LOS ANGELES, P)-Ever hear of a taxpayer who squaWked be- cause his taxes were too low?
 The board of equalization found one yesterday. George K. Roth, history and government instructor at John Muir college, Pasadena, told board members:
 Last year I made a protest about the inaccurate figure as- sessed on my lot on SeavieW av- enue. This year it was increased to S4O0. That is not enough. It is still not capitalized with surround ing values.
 The lot is worth S1,O00 on to- days market and should be as Sessed at $500. There is no reason for any taxpayer to try to avoid taxes rightfully owed"
 The board, still in a state of shock, made no decision.

LONDON, LP) - GOvernm n leaders, politicians and plain men in the western camp hailed the U. s. Senate's approval of the Allan tic Pact today as good news for the cause of peace.
 Eastern Europe maintained, as it has from the start, that the pact is the first step to imperialist war"
 The London News Chronicle headlined the story of the Senate vote for ratification "82 Votes Be- gin New U. S. Era"
 The official Soviet army news paper in Berlin, Taegliche Rund7 schau, front-paged the news under the headline: Atlantic System Doomed To Failure"
 Just before the French National Assembly began it's debate on the pact today, Radical Socialist floor leader Jean Paul David described the Senate's action as "an act of faith"
 Europe has been awaiting the solid support of the great Ameri- can democracy" he said.
 Deputy Paul Antier, leader of the small rightist Independent Re- publicans, said Tt is step tow ard peace and a check to Russia"

"Dont Be Alarmed By Secret Atomic Talks s''--Truman

NOntlnueu IIOIn rage Ohe' have eased misgivings of some lawmakers that the President might act on his own to give Bri- tain some A-bomb secrets.
 They said, after another top level, hush-hush atomic confer ence Wednesday, that they would not now press for a move to keep the President from acting by ex- ecutive order in this field.
 There had been talk of putting at least the Senate on formal rec ord as saying that the atomic en- ergy law forbids the supplying of atomic secrets to any foreign power unless Congress approves. Apparently they now are satisfied that MT. Truman plans no by 'passing of Congress at this time.

Senate Approves North Atlantic Pact Overwhelmingly
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One) Sl,45O, 100000 for foreign military aid, of which S1,13O,O0O,00O would go to this country's associates in the North Atlantic treaty.
 Ross said the message will run from 2,5OO to 5000 words and that it is already prepared.
 Ross denied the communication had been held up 10 write in atomic references in response to questions raised on the Senate floor as to whether the pact ODli- gates this country to furnish atom ic weapons to its new allies. He would not say whether there are any atomic references.
 The Presidents proposal was also expected to provide bar against giving the Europeans atom bombs. IL was understood the administration bill would spe- cify that nothing in if would su- persede the atomic energy act, which forbids release of atomic explosives.
 The 20-year treaty won through 10 ratification late yesterday after administration leaders had gwen repeated assurances that Senators who voted for the pact would not be obligated 10 vote for the arms bill.
 On it's face, the treaty is not a specific defense against any par ticular aggressor, but its primary purpose is to provide security for the Western European nations against any attack by Russia.
 The 12 signers agree that they will regard any attack on one as an attack on all. For the first time .n history, the United States is joining with European nations in a military alliance.
 All the member nations are 10 join together in developing, as soon as possible, a grand strategy of defense for the West.
 Efforts by Senators Taft CR.- OhioD, Wherry R.-NebD and Wat kins CR.-UtahD to tack reservations to the treaty were badly defeated. The big majority of the Senate went along with Senators Con- nally D.-TeXl and. Vandcnberg R.-Mich). The 82 10 l3 rat.ftca- ton vote exceeded by IS the GA votes required for two-thirds ap- proval.
 Two Democrats and Il Republi- cans voted against ratification.

cation bill.
Attack Is Persuasive.
The attack on the bill by these
two eminent citizens, a flank at
tack. is all the more persuasive to
those who are not thoroughly in
formed on the subject because
the two take the high ground In
favor Of education and for more
money to see that every American
child gets 1t. first. and then ad-
vance the apparently reasonable
and appealing argument that

saying they have gone beyond all
bounds. This is a logical ques-
ton and one about which there
is considerable discussion Just
now.
But it is unfortunate, as well
as somewhat illogical. that the
two very influential gentlemen
have singled out the aid-to-edu-
cation eill. For defeating 1t on
this ground would discriminate
against a very great and pressing
need and, would do nothing to
solve the larger question of Fed

President Hoover posed.

This Changing World
State Department Policies Aid Liberals
In Using Peron, Franco as Punching Bags

The protest was not needed by
Gen. Peron. VINO still srnarts from
the beatings he has taken so
frequently from official Washing
ton and the severe criticism TO
which he and his wife have been
subjected in the American press
and on the RADIO.
The British, on the other hand.
pointed out TO the State Depart
ment that the shortage Of dol
lars and increasing overproduction
in Britain leave them no choice
but to try TO remedy the situa-
ton. particularly at least. by max
ing economic agreements with
countries which are ready to
barter with them. II American
private business is hurt. there is
nothing that Britain can do about
it in a world in which free compe-
tition is one of the basic economic
principles.
Called Spain bad Risk"
In regard to Franco Spain the
situation is even worse. Secre-
tary of State Acheson a few weeks
ago discouraged even private trade
with Spain by pointing out pub
licly that that country was a bad
risk"
American businessmen who have
traded with Spain believe the con-
trary. But since international
trade these days necessarily relies
on official support from the Gov
ernment. they are handicapped In
their attempt to establish busi-
ness ties with Spain.
Meanwhile. the British and
French governments have used
every effort to persuade the State
Department not to support repeal
Of the United Nations November,
1916. diplomatic boycott of Spain
and have done a land Office ousi-
ness with the Spaniards.
Last year Britain traded with
Spain to the tune of $400. 900 900
and France sl50.000. 1000. We,
however, maintained virtually an
official embargo against Spain.
When. few weeks ago, Spain
intimated that it would like to
purchase some 5000. 900, 900 worth
OF cotton in this country, the
State Department refused to ap-
prove such a transaction, intimat-
ing to our exporters that Spain
was not a good risk.
That the Madrid government
soon will be induced to follow in
the footsteps of Argentina seems
highly likely. Spanish trade agree
ments may help the British and
French, temporarily, at least. But
American traders definitely will
suffer.
