Only scattered epidemic areas were
reported.
At least 80 States reported a
stepup in the polio rate, while
eight showed decline.
Nineteen States have had more
than 100 cases this year compared

4s8; Oklahoma, 40: New York,
353; Missouri, 302; Minnesota,
2s6; Michigan, 270. and Illinois,

40 cases already have recovered.
They said they had enough equip
ment to take care of patients but
not enough trained personnel.
New York City, which has had
IA polio deaths since July 1, is

no epidemic but said the States
81 cases and four deaths are the
highest on record for the date.

AT Gambling Place

MAPLE SHADE, N. j., July 2s.
One hundred and sixty men
were arrested and $4,000 confis-
Gated here today in q State Police
raid on a gambling house.
Despite an armored lookout
station in which police said they
found q revolver and pistol, the
18 raiders captured every occu-
pant of the one-story concrete
block building without firing a
shot.
Listed officially as a plumbing
warehouse, raiders found the in
terror to contain several gross"
of dice, several cartons of playing
cards, scratch sheets, blackboards
listing every major race track in
the country, a ticker tape system
with an underground wire, and
slot machines.
Limousine Service Hinted.
Police said most of the players
came from Philadelphia and Cam
den-only 10 miles away-and
there was evidence that a limou-
sine service had been bringing
many of them here.
They also said they expected to
connect the gambling with q New
York ring.
Many police who took part in
today's raid were fresh from the
recent raids in Newark" which
broke up a policy ring operating
between the New York metropo-
Titan area and Ohio, police said.
However they added that there
was no connection between the
men arrested here and those taken
in the Newark raid.
Players Arraigned.
Sergt. Clinton A. Vance, State
police public relations officer, said
at Z am. that the players were
then being arraigned before two
trial magistrates here and being
fined $40 each.
He said the process would take
q few hours, with two school
buses being employed to taxi the
prisoners back and forth between
the courtrooms and the scene of
the raid.
The $40 fines were being handed
out to the players only, police re-
ported, with heavier sentences to
be sought for the persons believed
to be running the ablishment.

complained of receiving obscene

gave his name as DR.. Norton.
Police arranged for her to make a

Mr.. Chatham's questions went
like this:

did you try to get 'the woman to

A. No.

A. No.
Q. On May 1s did you make A

of questions. When he finished

turned to the silent room.

Dispute al Howard u. |
Is Seen Threatening 10
Ruin Research Project

A dispute between the dean and
an associate professor of the How
ard University Medical School
threatens to ruin a Government
sponsored dropsy research pro-
gram at the university, the pro-
fessor said today.
The disagreement has held up
an $1,000 Government research
grant, it was said, and has caused
experimentation and treatment
with new methods Of a patient
at Freedmen's Hospital to be dis
continued.
Involved In the disagreement
are DR.. Samuel A. Corson. associ-
ate professor Of physiology. and
DR.. Joseph L. johnson, dean Of
the Medical School.
DR.. Corson's work on the relief
of dropsy. a swelling of the ex-
tremities, by gradual injection OF
certain salts. has attracted Ma
tion-wide attention and won
financial aid from the Public
Health Service.
The argument centers around
approval by the dean Of revised
budget for the research. Dean
johnson must sign the budget be-
fore the National Heart Institute
will begin payment of an $4,000
research grant, the heart insti-
tute reported.
DR.. Corson's contract with the
university was not renewed at its
expiration date on June 80. he
said, and he is getting paid now
under a temporary agreement
until he can appeal his case to the
Board of Trustees on Septem-
Der II.
IF the research on dropsy goes
until fall without funds, three
years work will be thrown away"
DR.. Carson said. I'VE are expert
on several dogs. If work
is stopped on them, they will be
useless for research. We had to
discontinue treatment and ex-
perimentation with one patient
at Freedman's Hospital because Of
the funds being held up"
Dean Johnson's ONCE reported
that he is out of town. DR.. Nor
decai johnson. dean of the uni
versity, also was reported out Of
town when called for comment.

 Here and there others going my way join me and I huff and puff to keep stride and the fast walking tingles the blood and then I am not cold and the distance seems short.
 AS walk I get to thinking of other times and places. When l was in New York City and lived out at 125th St. and worked at 57th St., downtown. Early I dashed to the 325th St. subway station. 9quashed in like a soft bunch of bananas the sub sped downtown I managed to squeeze out at 52nd St. Station and dash against the wind to the place where I was em- ployed. Though never there in win ter there were some cold days in early fall and I usually arrived at work limp and exhausted. At that time I knew little of shrimps ex- cepting to enjoy them at table. I suppose those days there was shrimp picking going on in Wran- gell, and there are those still rid ing the sub express, but I wish I had gotten around to Wrangell and shrimps sooner. Yep glad I'm here and can walk in moonlight to work and get all thrilled at the beauty of Alaska, as I will ever be thrilled a her beauty-morn, noon or mite.

Western Maryland's coal fields pro-
duced 4S,4S7O6 tons of fuel dur

The same report showed that 49,

by 90 employees during a like period.
The report includes production in
Garrett and Allegany counties.
Garrett county produced 896-

Along the Potomac
to Washington
BY j. Glenn BeaH

The startling disclosures relating
to spies, Communists fellow travellers
and disloyal persons within the
government itself were emblazoned
last week on the front pages of
every newspaper in America and
were heard on every radio broadcast.
Even some Congressman who for
years have pooh-poohed and mini
mixed the threat of Communism in
this country were aghast at the APP
parent extent to which the subver-
sives have gone in this nation in re-
cent years. One Congressman re-
marked that when the Department of
Justice, through the Federal Bureau
of investigation, began to naming
names of prominent men it was time
for the average American really to
perk up.
Two Congressman were named by
the FBI as Communists on fellow
travellers, according to testimony
given in the federal court trial of
Judith Coplon, former Department of
Justice aide accused of spying while
working for Uncle Sam.
Melvyn Douglas, who was codirec-
tor with Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
of the Office of Civilian Defense dur
ing World War II and long has been
active in Democratic politics, also
was branded a Communist fellow
traveller by the FBI reports, accord
ing to the court records.
In New York, where Alger Hiss, a
former high New Dealer is being
tried for perjury and has been ac-
cused of espionage, Whitaker
Chambers, the former editor of Time
Magazine, named the names of other
former federal employees who also
are alleged to have passed official
documents to him.
On Capitol Hill, a House Commit
tee and two Senate Committees are
obtaining startling information re-
garding other spy rings, or Com
munist personnel in the federal
government. The president, who only

civil liberty for all men. That hardly
is the point. The point is that with
$50, 900 Americans, it hardly
seems likely that the Acc would
have to hire hundred persons, more
or less, who were even family under
suspicion Of being Communists, fell
low travellers, or remotely connected
with subversion in any way. The sus-
pected persons have no vested inter
est in a job with the Atomic Energy
Commission. Mere suspicion, with
cause them to be bounced, for they
can obtain work in private industry,
run farm, or do whatever they want
to do in private industry and still
continue their leftist or Communistic
leanings. 1t is ineXcusable that any
person under suspicion-and the FBl
does not go around making false
charges against observation-disclosures
be kept employed by the Acc.
Every American should ponder
deeply the meaning of the treachery
that has been nurtured within the
very heart of our government and
our society. We must work I'M
ceasingly both to remove this sore
from our body polite and to work for
better nation in which fewer and
fewer Americans will want to sub
stitute a free way of life for a totali-
tartan state.
