SUBS CONTACTED

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3-tR-- The Captain of United States de- stroyer reported today possibly mak- ing contact with one or more un- identified submarines off the Cali fornia coast.
 Capt. J. A. Holbrook. himself former submarine officer, said con- tacts with what he believed to be submarines were made twice last week.
 Captain Holbrook was in com mand of the destroyer Colohan. which was dispatched to search the area off Cape Mendocino after several reports had been received that underseas craft had been sighted.
 The Navy said no united States submarines were operating in the area at the time.
 The Colohan left here Thursday afternoon, under forced draft, and with a hastily assembled crew. T. returned to San Francisco today. We reached the area assigned at 9:30 pm. Thursday" Captain Hol- brook said.
 We immediately began search with electronic equipment. At I, pm. we had radar indications which we tracked until 12:10 am. Two Submarines From all indications it appeared that there were two submarines op- erating in the area. One diyed and the other conducted evasive tactics which we tracked for about one hour.
 T would eyaluate this contact as possibly one or two submarines.
 The next possible contact was at l2:l0 pm. Friday, when we picked up sonar contact. Tt is my opinion. as former submarine officer. that we probably had contact with one or more sup- marines in the area"
 Captain Holbrook said planes CO., operated with the destroyer through out the search. ranging as far north as Crescent City. Calf. near the Oregon line. and 200 miles out to sea.
 Operation of foreign submarines is entirely legal outside the three mile territorial limit. The hunt was ordered by Vice Adm. George D. Murray. commander of the Western sea frontier.

FLYING BIxBYS
 GIVE UP HOPE,
 WORLD RECORD
Globe -eireling Man and Wife Delayed by En-
 zine Trouble

CALCUTTA, India, April 3-IR-- The flying Bixby's-Bob and Dian- na-gave up hope today of breaking the -girdling record set by the late Bill Odop.
 Engine trouble caused the Bixby's to turn back to Calcutta about an hour after they left Dumdum Field here for Tokyo.
 The cooling system on one engine of the Bixby's twin-engined British Mosquito bomber went haywire.
 They had landed in Calcutta at 11:40 am. and took off for Tokyo, 12:54 pm. They still had chance to beat Odom's 1947 mark of 73 hours, five minutes and Il seconds, provided they could get their nla- chine repaired in time, but this proved impossible.
 The Bixby's had been shooting at 66 hour round-the world flight. Their return here put them four hours behind schedule. The hus- band-and-wife team left San Fran cisco at 6:03 am. (PST) Saturday, making the trip flor the fun of it."
 The Bixby's first reached Call cutta, past the halfway mark in their flight, at 6:11 am, GMT. They refueled the Huntress II and took off after slightly more than one hour
 But just one hour out they were forced to turn back.
 They plan to resume the flight

BALTIMORE GIVES VIEWS

WASHINGTON, April = lR .... Owen Lattimore disclosed today he advised the State Department seven months ago that the United States should avoid premature or ex- cessive strategic deployment in the Far East"
 Lattimore's view was given in a confidential memorandum he sub mitted to State Department ad- visory group last Aug. Is.
 It was made public today follow ing a demand by Senator Mccarthy (R-Wis) who has charged Lattimore with being Soviet agent" and the architect of American Far East policy.
 The State Department declined to make the Lattimore recommen- dations public, saying they were "so- licited in confidence" But Latti- more gave the material out himself.
 Lattimore's memoranda included the advice that the United States should abandon further support of Chiang Kai-shek, avoid trying to bring trade pressure on Communist China, and withdraw as soon as possible from "entanglements" in South Korea.
 His advice against premature or excessive" commitments in the Orient was given in connection with a recommendation on dealing with Soviet Russia.
 If there is to be war, it can only be won by defeating Russia-not Northern Korea, or Vietnam, or even China" LattimOre said.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, April 3-tR A 350-bed mental hospital at An chorage and a blast at the Fed eral jail here as a fabulous ob- scenity' are items included in an Interior Department investigating committee report.
 The hospital was recommended to serve this area as component of major medical center.
 It was given top priority in a mental health program mapped for the territory in 25-page re- port which finally reached here Saturday by boat mail. It had been dated Feb. 10 and released in Washington, D. C., March IT.
 The committee, headed by Dr. Winfred Overholser, Superinten- dent of St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D. O., labelled the An- chorage Federal jail fabulous obscenity."
 "Our committee was astounded to discover that sick persons, espec- ially those who are charges of the government, are in this age placed in fire trap quarters as unsafe. unsanitary and generally demoral- izing as the present building main tained as a Federal jail in An chorage, the largest city in Alaska.
 Fabulous Obscenity
 "Use of this fabulous obscenity as a place to house mental patients is nothing short of barbaric, des- bite efforts of the United States MarshalS staff to render decently humane treatment. It must be said that this facility is fully as un- suitable for prisoners as for the mentally i'll"
 The experts who prepared the report spent three weeks studying Alaskas mental health last sum- mer.
 At Mt. Edgecumbe
 They also recommended estab- lishment of a 50-bed treatment center at Mt. Edgecumbe Health Education Center at Sitka, for cas- es from southeastern Alaska on a short term basis. and that an agreement be worked out with the Territorial government to take over and operate both facilities after they are completed.
 In urging Anchorage as location for an Alaskan center for long term mental care, the committee said the mental hospital could be- come a coordinated part of medical facilities being developed here.
 Medical Center
 "A 4O0-bed tuberculosis hospital now being constructed by the Bur- eau of Indian Affairs, military hospital being planned for Fort Richardson, as well as Providence Hospital, a well-designed gener- al hospital, would be other com ponents of a major medical center 2
 While construction is under way on the ANS hospital, military au- thorities commented that no appro- priation yet has been made for the new station hospital at Fort Richardson. An appropriation for $400000 has been made for oe-

MCCARTHY ASKS SECRET
 MEMO AIRED
Wants Aeheson to Reveal Report Made by Owen
 Laftimore

WASHINGTON, April g. tR = Senator Mccarthy tR-Wis) de- manded today that Secretary Ache son make public secret memor- andum on Far Eastern policies given the State Department by Owen Lattimore last summer. He said that if Acheson does not "it will be my duty as United States Senator to do so'
 Mccarthy fired his latest shot at Lattimore and Acheson in a statement issued at Bethsesda (Md Naval hospital where he is under going treatment for sinus con- dition.
 He has contended that Lattimore a Johns Hopkins University profes- sor, is CD a Russian agent, and @ the real architect of American foreign policy in the Far East.
 Lattimore's Reply
 Lattimore has called Mccarthy charges false and irresponsible Acheson has denied that Lattimore has shaped foreign eastern policy and said that he does not think in fact, that he has ever met Lat timore.
 Mccarthy said the State De- partment regarded the Lattimore memorandum as so important "and of such a confidential nature that the American people were not entit- led to know it's content" He added
 On this I heartily differ be- cause feel the American people should know to what extent Lat timore is dictating State Depart mant policy.
 Promises More Trouble
 T feel, therefore, that if the Se- cretary of State does not immed- lately make the Lattimore recom- mendations known to the American people it will be my duty as a United States Senator to do so.'
 Along with McCarthy's statement there were these other develoments in the controversy over the Sen- ator's charges that Communists have infiltrated the State Depart ment:
 l President Truman formally not flied the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee Investigating Me Carthy's charges that he has in- structed Federal agencies to ignore subpoenas for loyalty files of in- dividuals accused by Mccarthy.
 2. The Senate group discussed without taking action the question whether it should subpoena from Mccarthy documents he says he has to back up his charges. Act ing Chairman Green (D-RD an- nounced the question will be con- sidered further at a meeting to- morrow.
 3. The subcommittee set Thurs day at 10:30 am. as the time> it will hear Lattimore in a public reply to Mccarthy.

County Housekeeping
BY MARJORIE GARFIELD

ed officials such as assessors and
Magistrate for Juvenile caues.
The County Manager
To control the daily operation of
the government and to carry out
their policies, the Council appoints
"a County Manager who retains his
job as long as his work is salts
factory. He appoints department
heads and most county employees
subject to the recommendation of
the Personnel Board and the APP
proval of the Council.
Meets Every Tuesday
The Council meets every Tues
day in Rockville to decide policies
by ordinance, rules, or coming opin-
ions; and to issue instructions.
Final votes are taken in open after
noon sessions. Most issues are dis
cussed in closed morning meetings.
During the eason of coming appeals
the Council usually meets for pub
lie hearing two night a week and
considers it's decisions privately.
Advisory Boards, Committees
To discover the wishes of the
people public hearing are held on
proposed bills, budgets, ordinances,
and front foot benefit assessments.
Citizens with wants to presents are
welcomed at public meetings. In
addition the Council has appointed
committees of qualified persons to
sound out the will of the people and
make recommendations for legis-
lation regarding libraries, hospital
facilities, and planning for the
rural county. Other advisory
boards and committees serve regu-
lar terms to advise the Council
constantly on special problems as
they arise. Such are the Safety
Beard, Fire Board, and Juvenile
Court Advisory Committee.
Organization Problems
The first Council has had un-
usual problems. Much had to be
done to bring the laws and admin
istrative regulations for the coun-
ty into harmony with the new
Board formed and it's regulations
adopted. A Tax Appeal Court was
initiated. To ensure a sound legal
structure for the new ways of do
ing has been of first Importance.
Future Councils will be able to de-
vote more of their energies to feel
ing the pulse of the public and
translating their wishes into con-
crete services.

New Frederick Team Climbs
Into Leagues Second Place

The Frederick Hustlers climbed
into second place in the Montgom-
cry County Baseball League last
Sunday by virtue of Al victory
over Damascus behind the four hit
pitching of Lefty" Warrenfeitz.
In the only other game played
Colesville jumped into a third
place tie with Silver Spring as they
pummelled Bethesda 1913.
In the game played at Frederick
each team committed two errors
and all four of those errors con-
tributed to the scoring as Whitley"
Jones" double and Gene Hummels
single in the fourth inning led to
the only earned run of the game.
Jones had another double besides
the one in the fourth and Hummel
had two other singles as the pair
of outfelders collected five of the
winners nine hits between them.
Colesville exploded for five runs
in the seventh and four in the
eighth to break a close ball game
wide open and knock Bethesda
down to fifth place. Errors also
contributed to the losers downfall
in this game but the 18 hits given
up by the Bethesda pitchers looked
mighty big. Mike Godfrey, with
double and two singles, and Johnny
Norris, who went all the way on
the mound for Colesville and had
three singles and a walk, were the
winners big guns. Highlight of
the game for Bethesda was
pinch--hit home run by Charlie
Pugh in their big five run eighth
inning. Tom Brown also homered
for Bethesda.
Silver Spring at Rockville was
rained out and so the league leaders
had little difficulty staying at the
top with an unblemished record.
Results of last Sundays games
are: Colesville IL, Bethesda 8;
Frederick a, Damascus l.
Frederick will play at Colesville;
Damascus at Silver Spring and
Rockville at Bethesda in next Sun
days games.
