Much was made over the appear
ance of Brooke Johns, prominent
Republican and a former member
of the old Board of County Com
missioners. Asked if his visit had
any political significance, he repli-
ed, "0f course not. I've got friends
all over the county and never let
thing like politics interfere with
friendship" He posed with Gov.
Lane for photographers. He wore
wooden elephant on one lapel and
wooden donkey on the other.
He gave the donkey to Governor
Lane, after telling reporters: "I'm

and l think Lanes an awfully good
man. | advocated the sales tax long

The day started out sunny and
mild and most of the crowd heard
Senator Tydings and were intro
duced to Major General Russell P.
Hartle, USA, retired, the Demo-
cratic candidate against the incum-
bent Representative Beall, Repub-
lican. But by the time Gov. Lane
arrived, more than an hour and

to one quarter its former size,
when Mr.. Lane said:'"I am proud
Of the program Montgomery Coun-
ty has accomplished in schools and
roads. l am grateful to you for
your pennies to give the children
Of Montgomery County a decent
education" He said the pennies
had gone to improve education gen
orally as well as make possible bet
ter hospital facilities for mental
and tuberculosis patients.
Senator Tydings, candidate for
reelection to the U. S. Senate,
observed he had made an earlier
appearance in the county and
therefore made only brief refer
ences to national and international
affairs which have been the basis
of his appeal for votes.

Doctors Warned Routine Care
May Be Fatal in Catastrophe

Doctors who stick to their ci-
william training may cause un-
necessary deaths in any major
catastrophe, such as an atom
bombing. District Medical Society
members were warned last night.
The warning came from a panel
of physicians who had extensive
experience in treating World War
II casualties.
They said doctors can make Sc
rious, and even fatal, mistakes by
following first-aid practices often
considered routine" Among
dangerous measures panel men,
berS listed the use of tourniquets.
injection of morphine to ease
pain and lowering the head in
shock cases.
Popular insistence on daubing
every type of material" on burns
also was aSsailed by the special
lists. Suggested for any time of
emergency was an official direc-
tive that nothing at all be placed
on severe burns until proper care
is available.
Members of the panel were Drs.
William E. Bageant, anesthesiolo-
gist at Garfield Hospital; Vincent
M. Iovine, assistant clinical pro-
fessor of surgery at George Wash

and Lawrence A. Rapee, also of
Garfield Hospital. DR.. Thomas
Bradley of George Washington
was moderator. The discussion
opened a series to be devoted to
coping with major disasters, par
ticularly bombing.
The panel pointed to these five
common errors" which it said
are made repeatedly" by doctors
in giving first aid to seriously in
jured patients:
l. Use of such enormous doses"
of morphine that poisoning, some
times fatal, sets in.
2. Application of a tourniquet
when it is not needed or failure
to release it at the proper time.
3. Lowering the head of a per-
son in a condition of shock, under
circumstances when it may be
harmful, or at least extremely
uncomfortable"

burns, and it is unnecessary except
under conditions of extreme cold,

the bone has broken through the
