DEFIED CUSTOMS

LII LII (QolOMo
The young African prince, %
years of age, drew worldwide
comment last year when he an
nounced that he would marry the
white London stenographer. De-
spite precedent and rulings Of his
tribe. he decided TO go through
with the marriage of the young
London girl.
Prime Minister Attlee. leader
OF the Labor government in Eng
land, has been criticized by many
especially Conservative repre-.
sentatives of parliament includ-
ing Mr.. Churchill.
The final status of the African
prince may be determined by the
Labor government and could con-
tribute TO their overthrow, OBJ
servers point out. inasmuch as the
present commanding position held
by the Labor government is due
TO support from Socialists. So
cialists have also been critical OF
the attitude and manipulations OF
the Atlee government.

Gen. Finch Is Shifted
From Air Guard Post

figured in a dispute with the Ma
tional Guard Bureau chief last
year, has been transferred to a
new job.
The Air Force said today that

assigned to the Office of Maj. Gen
Earl S. Hoag. special assistant for

Bureau last month to take COM
mand Of the 43d National Guard
Division, now in Federal service.

issue was whether the Air Force

mary control over the Air Guard
However, those orders were sus.
pended when the Secretaries o1
the Army and Air Force inter.
vened. An inquiry was launched
but the results have never beer

Hospitals Now Open
Can Treat Wounded,
DR.. R. |. Melting Says

Additional military hospitals
will be opened if necessary but in
Istallations in this country are suf-
iclent to take care of the expected
increase in the flow of wounded
from Korea, DR.. Richard L. Neil
ing said today.
The Defense Department medi-
cal director made that statement
after Representative Shafer, Re-
publican, of Michigan asserted
yesterday that military hospitals
are 1000 beds short of the esti-
mated number needed by Decem-
ber /. He said he based his state
ment on estimates made to the
Pentagon by Gen. Macarthur.
DR.. Melting said military hospi-
tails in operation now have $4,000
stated beds, an increase of more
than 5000 since the start Of the
Korean war.
Only 1875 wounded were sent
back from Korea last month,
DR.. Melting said. But he antici-
pated large increase in the num-
ber flown to this country within
the next few weeks because Army
medical authorities in Japan now
have more patients than they can
care for properly.
After the second front in Ko-
rea was created, Far East medical
authorities gave notice that many
wounded would be returned to
this country, he said.
He also disclosed that addi-
tional nurses and medical person
mel have been flown to Hawaii
where ambulance planes make an
overnight stop, and to California
air bases where such flights termi-
nate.

Chest Seeks $3.50, 900 Butler and Lane Win
Emergency Fund for Nominations Despite
Mobilization Welfare Popular Vote Failure

A 100000 emergency fund" to
meet welfare needs arising from
military mobilization will be sought
in next months District area Com
munity Chest drive,
The special fund. approved yes
terday by chest leaders, raises the
total campaign goal from $4.1 mil
lion to $4,260, 900.
It also brings to nearly 5 per
cent of the goal the amount ear
marked for military connected
use next year, since $71 900 al
ready was specifically allocated to
the new Associated Services for
the Armed Forces. an organization
similar to the USO. The tc.al
military portion is about $230. 900.
ALLEGATION to Await Need.
The emergency fund, however,
will not be allocated until after
completion of the drive, and even
then it will await the development
Of specific needs.
Including the new addition, the
forthcoming drive will seek $710,-
000-or 20 per cent-more than
the public gave to the chest last
year. Campaign Chairman Hugh
K. Duffield pointed out yesterday.
Mr. Duffield warned this will
cali for greater giving" espe-
cially on the part of business
firms and their employees, among
whom the major campaign effort
will be carried on. Some citi-
zens. he said, owe the Chest as
much as a "tenfold increase" in
the size Of their gifts.
If the goal is not met. it will
mean, as in past years, a pairing
down of the allotments to indi-
vidual agencies and purposes, in
Guiding the special emergency
fund. Mr.. Duffield emphasized.
This will be on a basis of share
and share alike"
But even with less than the
full goal. the military reserve def
nitely will be set up, the leaders
decided.
Keyes Disputes Point.
Chest Director Edward ]. Keyes
disputed this point at yesterdays
meeting, declaring he thought any
explicit promise to set up the
reserve even II the drive failed
might straightjacket" the budget
committee in taking care of other
community needs.
Other leaders, however, includ-
ing Mr.. Dufheld, Frank j. Luchs,
who led last years drive, and
Samuel H. Kaufman and Philip
u. Graham, executive committee
members. insisted the reserve
should be set up regardless of
the drives results If it was to
be used as a campaign selling
point.
In proposing the reserve, Budg-
ct Committee Chairman Charles
E. Smoot said military expan-
sion is expected to bring not only
recreation demands for service
men, but welfare problems for
their families which the Chest
will have to meet.

Delayed Welcome

Gordon Dean, chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission, was
given a delayed welcome last night
by members of the Acc Washing
ton staff.
Although Mr.. Dean was ap-
pointed last July by President Tru-
man, vacation schedules had in
terfered with party plans until
now.
In a brief interview at the
Shoreham Hotel festivities, Mr.
Dean said the Atomic Energy
program is really rolling" now
'It is really amazing to find
how much has been Gone." he
said.
The Acc chairman said he could
not get excited over the views
expressed by a publicity man ear
lier that "the press is paying toe
much attention to the bomb itself,
and not enough attention to the
tremendous strides being made by
Acc scientists in the fields of
medicine. biology and similar
studies"
THE press is ignoring these
achievements to some extent" Mr.
Dean conceded. But it is hard to
make headline copy ont of some
Of our achievements. If things
sound too rosy, we're criticized for
being too optimistic"
'It will be time enough for big
news when our experiments along
these lines really prove them
selves" he smiled.
Mr.. Dean told the party guests,
members of the Atomic Energy
Club. that 1--WE are working on the
most important program the Gov
ernment is engaged in today. It
affects the whole security Of the
Nation and eventually will effect
the welfare of the United States,

Walter j. Williams, acting gen.
eral manager of the commission

the club members-all of whom
work for the Acc Washington Of

articles in newspapers and maga-
zines saying how good or how bad
we are.

Gov. Lane and John Marshall
Butler apparently have clinched
their bids for the Democratic
gubernatorial and Republican SEN
atorial nominations, respectively,
although both trail their oppo-
nents in the popular vote.
With only the official Baltimore
City and Baltimore County totals
still to be reported, Gov. Lane has
"a convention votes to So for
George P. Mahoney. The popular
returns gave Gov. Lane 158,879 to
1868, 1873 for his opponent.
Mr.. Butler has 78 unit votes to
D. John Markey's so, even though
32,193 persons voted for Mr..
Markey and 30,379 for the Balti-
more attorney, according to the
official count from % counties and
the unofficial totals from Balti-
more County and Baltimore City.
McKeldin Campaign Begins.
Gov. Lane will NEE Theodore
r. McKeldin in the general cleo
ton. Mr.. McKeldin, unopposeo
in the primary, already has begun
campaigning with swing through
Prince Georges County.
Mr.. Butler will tangle with
Senator Tydings, a veteran Demo
crat who is seeking his fifth con-
secutive term.
This, of course, assumes there
will be no material change in the
Baltimore City and Baltimore
County tallies after they become
official. or that recounts will not
change the picture.
Mr.. Mahoney already has petit
toned formally for a recount of
the Garrett County vote, where he
lost to Gov. Lane by a margin of
So votes. The Governor received
858 votes to 805 for Mr.. Mahoney.
And there are indications Mr.. Ma
honey may ask for recounts in
one or two other counties.
Gunter Wins Comfortably.
William A. Gunter won the Re-
publican nomination for Attorney
General over Miss Helen Elizabeth
Brown by a comfortable margin.
Mr.. Gunter, a Cumberland at
torney, had 37,351 votes to 21,714
for Miss Brown. of Baltimore.
Granting Miss Brown all OF
Baltimore City's AZ unit votes
these combined with the 18 she
received from the counties would
not give her enough for the NOM
ination, which requires at least n
convention votes.
Senator Tydings ran away with
the Democratic Senate nomina-
ton, as his hackers had freely
predicted. The count showed hin
with 1858 votes to 39,588 fol
