Discussion on Iron Lung
Considerable discussion was en-
gagged in by the members present
relative to the uses of the new
portable Iron Lung. Since the
equipment has received full ap-
proval of the United States Army
Air Corps and the United States
Navy, the type of unit has long
since passed out of the experiment
al stage. And, although the local
legion group does not recommend
the use of the portable Iron Lung
without the approval of a compet-
ent physician or surgeon, it is felt
that the good which can be obtain
ed through the use of this device
should not be discounted or over
looked. The Iron Lung will be
furnished absolutely free to anyone
in need of such aid.

Real Estate Developer
Sues 10 InvaIidate
County Road Code

Constlutionality of the road
code passed last August by the
Montgomery County Council is
being challenged by a real estate
developer.
A suit for a declaratory judg-
nent was filed yesterday on be-
half of Palisades. Inc, owners OF
a tract of land near Kensington
by Attorney David E. Belts
IN Montgomery County Circuit
Court.
The suit contends the code is
legislation and. therefore. could
have been enacted only during
the annual May legislative session
of the County Council.
The fact the Council did pass
an enabling act in May permit
ting later approval of the code
makes no difference, according to
the suit.
Further. the suit contends, the
road code is not in conformity
with the enabling act. According
to the suit, the enabling act re-
stricted the application of such a
cede to sections where the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, and the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission do not have authority
to pass similar regulations.
In addition, the suit attacks
provisions of the code permitting
the Council to grant waivers of
the regulations.

Republican Victory
Is Maryland Biggest
In History Of State
BY the Assoeiafed Press

BALTIMORE. Nov. 9.-With re-
turns in from all but five of Mary
lands polling places the 1850
general election stands today as
the greatest victory for the Re-
publican Party in the States his
tory.
Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin's
winning margin of some $4,000
votes over Gov. William Preston
Lane, jr., is the biggest majority
ever given a Governor-Repub-
lican or Democrat. The previous
gubernatorial record was the Co.
755 votes by which Albert r.
Ritchie, Democrat, defeated Re-
publican William F. Broening in
1880.
McKeldin Beat Hoover Vote.
Mr.. McKeldin's majority also
is the greatest ever received by
any Republican in Maryland, sur
passing the 1883 margin by
which Herbert Hoover carried the
State in the 1923 presidential elec-
ton. Mr.. McKeldin's total of
more than $4,000 votes is the
largest ever accumulated by Re-
publican in the State, eclipsing
Hoover's 301,479 in 1928.
In defeating veteran Democratic
Senator Millard E. Tydings, Re-
publican John Marshall Butler
also set a new G. o. P. record. His
margin of some $4,000 is the big
gest majority ever given a Re-
publican candidate for the United
States Senate in Maryland. Phillips
Lee Goldsborough piled up the
previous record majority with s.
381 in 1888.
Furthermore, for the first time
since 1922, Maryland voters elect
ed three Republicans to the House
of Representatives. giving the
State a 3-3 split in its House del
egation.
The States two Republican in
feumbentS were reelected as were
three of the Democratic Congress-
men. However. in the large I'd
congressional district, Republican
James P. S. Devereux, Marine
hero of Wake Island, upset Demo-
cratic Representative William P.
Bolton III a close race. The COM
plete. unofficial totals from the
districts 519 polling places gave
Devereux 97,926 votes to Bottoms
95, ,389.
Off-Year Record.
The Statewide turnout of voters
established record for an Off
year election. More than $4,000
persons crowded to the polls, or
better than SO per cent of the
927 .98a on the registration books.
The previous of-year record came
in 1946 when 489, 1886 voted. This
years total fell only a little short
of the States all-time record
set when 660.104 voted in the
1910 Roosevelt -Willkie presidential
election.

French Pilots Report
|Strafing Armored Car
In Wet Mimi Convoy
BY the Asseeioied Press

SAIGON, Indo- China, Nov, g.
French fighter pilots reported to.
day they had spotted what was
believed to be an, armored cal
during a strafing run on an inter
cepted Wet Mini motor convoy.
A military spokesman said the
single vehicle, resembling ar
armored car, was one of nine
which came under air attack. Sew
eral of them were reported
knocked out.
The French airmen's report was
the first official indication given
here that the Wet Mini may have
been given armored units by
Chinese Communists.
There have been persistent but
so far wholely unconfirmed re-
ports to that effect.
The Wet Mini motor convoy
was caught by King Cobra fighter
planes as it passed through the
mountain pass of Lungphai, sc
miles northwest of Hanoi on
Colonial Route No. 4. The sup
ply convoy was using the frontier
arterial highway for delivery OF
war material to Wet Mimi bases
With the withdrawal of their
posts guarding the frontier the
French high command is depend
ing heavily on it's air force to dis
rupt the increasing traffic be-
tween Communist China and the
Wet Mimi zone.

g. 0.P. Wins Majority
OF Governorships;
Arizona Undecided
BY the Associated Press

Republicans today were certain
of control of a majority of State
administrations in the next two
years.
They hoped this control would
give them a grass-roots' founda-
ton fol drive toward victory in
the 1852 presidential election.
With only the Arizona governor
ship undecided, the Republicans
had cinched domination of 25
Statehouses as a result Of victories
in Tuesdays balloting.
The Republican nominee in Ari-
zona, Howard Pyle. was leading
Mrs Ana Frohmiller, Democrat,
by more than 3.100 votes with the
tally nearly complete.
If Mr.. Pyle wins, the final Re-
publican margin in governorships
will be 26 to %.
Error Helps Gov. Williams.
In Michigan, discovery of a vote
counting error in Is Detroit pre-
cinctS has reduced former Gov.
Harry F. Kelly's victory margin
to a thin 2,374 votes over Demo-
cratic incumbent G. Mennen Will
liams in their ding-dong race.
The error. disclosed by Wayne
Detroit) County Clerk Edgar
Branigan. heightened the pros
pect for a recount, which already
was virtually assured. Mr.. Bran
igan said that election boards in
Is precincts of Detroit counted
only the split ballots and failed
to include in their reported totals

With only one of the States
4.36l precincts unreported today.
the photo finish race stood: Kelly,
933. 1884; Williams, 931 ,460.
Win % of 33 Posts.
Democrats had 29-to-19 edge
after the 1948 election. But Re-
publican candidates won % of the
80 posts at stake this year. In
the process. they ousted Demo-
cratic administrations in Colorado,
Connecticut, Maryland, Michigan,
Nevada and New Mexico.
Republicans retained control in
the country's three most populous
States-New York, California and
Pennsylvania. They overturned
the Democrats in another big in
dustrial State-Michigan.
Democrats won in two populous
States-Ohio and Texas. They
retained control of another-Illi-

material election this year.
The Democrats failed to over
turn a single Republican incum-
bent. AS expected, they retained
control in Georgia, South Caro-

kansas and Oklahoma.

In Ohio Gov. Frank Lausche
who fell out of favor with the
Democratic high command by
taking no part in the States tor
