Yesterday DR.. Foote happened
to be downtown and decided to
stroll by the White House. He
did so, and then walked by Blair
House only few minutes before
the shooting took place. He was
sitting on a park bench when
suddenly he heard loud noises.
They seemed too loud for
pistols shots" he said. They
went "wham. Wham, wham."
Everybody looked. and then every
body began to run. I kept my
seat because I did not want to
look silly running. BY the time
I decided to go, the ambulances
we're at the Blair House, the
streets we're crowded and no one
was allowed to go near the scene
of the shooting"

Pork and CoffeeP Prices
Drop on Low Demand;
Chops Down 16Cents

Pork and coffee prices dropped
today in the face of lower con-
sumer demand.
One large food chain was selling
center cut loin chops for 50 cents
a pound, 16-cent reduction from
a week ago. It's whole pork loins
and rib half loins were down 13
cents a pound.
Another food chain reduced its
pork chops from 70 to 50 cents a
pound and porterhouse steak from
$l.05 to IS cents. At the same
time, it raised loin lamb chops
from $1,25 to $1.2s pound.
Popular brands of vacuum
packed coffee were cut 2 cents a
pound today, the second reduction
since 2-cent drop in mid-Oc
tober. This now placed the price
between 81 and SO cents a pound
depending on the store and the
brand.
The coffee reductions followed
action Of several leading indie
pendent coffee roasters who
trimmed prices 2 cents a pound
The trade said distributors were
well stocked and that producers
OF green coffee had cut prices in
response to tagging roaster de-
mand.
A spokesman for one major
United States coffee buyer re-
ported private cables from Brazil
this week predicted the new crop
in the Sac Paulo region would be
20 per cent larger than the one
harvested a few months ago.
The drop in pork prices was
attributed by the trade to a sea-
sonar increase in hog shipments
to market and to longer consumer
demand because Of the unusually
warm weather over most Of the
country.

Move to Unite Ranks
Before Election
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. George
p. Mahoney, who polled more
votes than Gov. Lane in the DEM
ocratic primary race for Cover
nor, is Maryland's new Demo-
cratic National Committeeman.
The latest move in the chess
board play of the party to solidify
its ranks fills the gap left by
Gov. Lane when he resigned as
national committeeman last week.
Sunday Gov. Lane and Mr..
Mahoney met at an oyster roast.
They ate and chatted and laughed
together-the first time they had
been openly friendly toward each
other since before the first stages
OF the primary campaign. I
Monday MIR. Mahoney pledged
his allegiance to the Governor,
saying Gov. Lane has adopted his
own basic program, so now he is
supporting him for reelection.
Follow-up Of Peace Move.
Yesterday. National Democratic
Chairman William M. Boyle, jr.,
announced Mr.. Mahoney's ap-
pointment from Washington.
This was a follow-up to a
peace" move between the two
camps which involved firing an
appointive magistrate who sided
with the Baltimore City forces to
block Gov. Lanes recommenda.
ton OF Mahoney man for a city
job. Gov. Lane later appointed
another Mahoney backer to the
magistrate vacancy.
On the Republican front Theo-
dore' r. McKeldin renewed his
contention last night the sales tax
is unfair and unequal" and said
he will work toward eventual
abolishment of the tax altogether
II elected Governor next Tuesday.
And until the tax is wiped off
the books, the Republican nomi-
nee said, he will take immediate
steps to ease its burden greatly.
$4,000 Eligible to Vote.
"1t is not 2 per cent tax" he
declared in a radio address, ''it
is a 3, 4, or more than per
cent tax. When you pay a penny
tax on a l5-cent item, you are
paying almost z per cent"
1t was disclosed, meanwhile.
that about $4,000 Marylanders
are eligible to vote in Tuesdays
general election-many thousands
more than have been on the reg
istration books for any other
election in Free State history.
As usual, the Democrats have
better than a 5-to-2 book majority
over the Republicans.
The breakdown, with close ap-
proximations for Baltimore City
and Worcester County, shows
653,993 Democrats, 255,570 Repub-
licans, and 18,425 registered as in
dependents or members of minor
parties. This makes a total of
s27,98S registrants.
Democrats Make Gains.
1t shows that the Democrats
have made numerical gains since
the 1946 State election, and the
Republicans have lost almost
5000 registrants. The totals then
were Democrats, 600,058; Repub-
licans, 264,967; others 17,741 for a
grand total of 882,775.
There were only 863,951 reg
lstered for the 1948 presidential
election, including 5s3,397 Demo-
Gratis and 24S,047 Republicans.
Baltimore, Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties-the three
big metropolitan subdivisions -
showed the biggest gains over the
last four years.
Baltimore. County had 83.131
reglstrants in 1916. dropped to
$3.50 in 1948. and now has surged
to 116,430 eligibles.
The comparative figures for
Prince Georges are 45,418; 43,e59
and 54,776. For Montgomery thev
are 46,248; 51,952 and 56,675.

ida. And no little brown pills are required.". But the tralnmen overlook one thing- The Navy paid the bill. Had he gone to Flor ida by train, he would have had to pay the bill. Two great Bible fans are fighting for the Republi- can Senatorial nomination in New Hampshire. Sen. Charles Tobey and challenger Wes Powell are doing their best to outquote each other. Bradley Nash has written a book on Herbert Hoover's govern ment reforms-"A hook in Levia- than"
 One of the best men in govern- ment resigned the other day-Tracy Voorhees,, UndersecreJary of the Army. A Republican. Truman could have kept him on ny promoting him to be Secretary of the Army, post to be vacant when Gordon Gray becomes President of North Carolina U. But despite the urge for a bipartisan policy, Truman hasn't been appointing many Re- publicans lately. However, Frank Pace, now director of the budget, who will replace Gray, also is a good man. Voorhees, initiated the important job of winning democracy in Japan and Germany brought groups of editors, students, gov- ernment leaders from those coun- tries to see how the U.SA. operates. The ideas he planted will live af- ter him. Secretary of the Inter- for Oscar Chapman moved slowly in picking his new Chief of h. dian Affairs, but he moved sure. Dillon Myer, the man he picked, is a toE public servant. . Unlike some recent members of the Senate, War ren Austin, now Ambassador to the United Nations, scrupulously ob- served Rule 12 that Senator must not vote for his pocketbook. Austin refrained from voting for he tale bill in 1944 because he had a private interest. Correction: Carol French, mentioned in a re- cent column as being with Stand- ard oil of New Jersey, is no longer with that concern. French was the gent who helped tell business lead- CTS how to propagandize with la bor through pay slips.
 Coal crisis again-more than 50,- 000 coal miners get the ax perm anently late this year because Of oil and gas competition. Scores of small mines will also go out of business. For the next six months, all the coal mines will be working at top production to fill back orders, but most of the big coal companies are feverishly trying to sign long term, low-rrice contracts with rall- roads and other big customers in order to stand off gas and oil com- petition in the next few years. !. :.

 Their offer has been rejected, however, by Mayor Charles Thomp- son, who directed the City Police to detail a special squad to handle the gang wars that have reached a new tempo in the past month.
 The gangs, numbering from 10 to 200, identify themselves in battle by various insignia. Some shave their heads apache style; others wear single ring in one ear; oth- CTS simply don jackets with the gang name.
 Many of their all-out battles have resulted in knife wounds and body and head injuries from boots and lead-weighted blackjacks. Sto- len cars frequently provide the transportation.

the hands of Russian propagandists who are doing everything to sell their satellites and other western European countries the idea that the United States is divided against itself, the President declared.
 He added. that Mccarthy had made the job of our foreign diplo- mats "doubly difficult" because they are afraid to be seen talking to anyone who might be accused of pro-Communist leanings in France, Italy and other countries, even in the course of their duties
 As a result, the President said, our embassies and legations in some countries had become virtually isolated" and our foreign-service personnel in in these places serious ly demoralized.
 Things most people don't know about alleged "Commies'' In gov ernment-Chairman of the State Departments loyalty review board charged with wedding out Commun- ists is a Republican-Gen. Conrad Snow of New Hampshire. He was appointed on the recommendation of COP Sen. Styles Bridges, a backstage brain-truster for Sen McCarthy's attacks. 2. Chairman ot the top loyalty review board is also a Republican, Seth Richardson, who served under Hoover Most ot the lawyers under him are also Republican. Neither Truman nor anyone else can overrule them only the courts. Actually, Ache
 son has fired more State Depart ment employees than any other Secretary of State .McCarthy's attacks have been almost as vit- riolic as Moscow's. Here is its lat est diatribe against Acheson: This Fascist-like diplomat A truly in- corrigible liar .Swindler. A hired lackey of the instigators of war who spent his scanty brains to belle truth, freedom and peace. Achesons true masters are the banks and concerns who dream of footing the globe.". .Acheson' $ family is worried over his terrific strain He is wondering whether he has not become a liability, that for the good Of U. s. foreign policy he should resign. Writes another Secretary of State, Henry L. Stim- son, in the Hoover Cabinet, about Senator Mccarthy: The man who seeks to gain political advantage from personal attack on. Secre- tary of State is man who seeks political advantage from damage to his country. This is no time to let the noisy antics of a few upset the steady purposes of our country or distract our leaders from their proper tasks"

abused at times. But it is fundamental to all freedoms In vicious bill introduced by Sen William Langer the principle of freedom of expression is d rectly threatened Senator Langers measure s. 847, would prohibit the transportation in interstate merce of advertisements of alcoholic beverages and for other purposes"
 Innocuous? In a sense, yes. It would hurt the liquor industry It would hurt newspapers and maga- zines and radio broadcastng. All of them probably would survive this incurson into their existing busi ness operations But it doesn't stop there.
 The Langer bill leads directly toward two entirely distinct dangers First it leads toward prohibition, by the back door. Prohibition brought such train of evils that the nation threw off many years ago as an intolerable adventure in sumptuary legislation. It brought corruption of the judiciary. It brought unprecedented gang warfare It brought drink to the teen-agers and produced shocking sag in the morals of the nation
 Further the Langer bill leads toward the of bans on advertising of still other commodities than liquor If the precedent of the Langer bill to stand the way would be open to legislative attacks roundabout method of forbiddng the interstate adver tising of such goods.
 Already the commerce clause of the constitution has been used too often to impose barriers on the free flow of goods and of ideas across state lines That provision of the constitution was intended It was meant to insure the right of the government to foster trade and commerce in our whole national domain And it would be perversion of the con- sttuton if that clause were used to mask an attack on the freedom of advertising or new attempt to thrust the country the countless evils of prohibition
