Butler and Lane Win
Nominations DESPITE
Popular Vote Failure
Gov. Lane and John Marshall

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 58 for
George P. Mahoney. The popular
returns gave Gov. Lane 1887 to
1913 for his opponent.
Mr.. Butler has 78 unit votes to
D. John Markey's 60, even though
80 1913 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 elec-
ton. Mr.. McKeldin, unopposeo
in the primary. already has begun
campaigning with a swing through
Prince Georges County.
Mr.. Butler will tangle with
Senator Tydings. 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 q recount of
the Garrett County vote, where he
lost to Gov. Lane by 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, q Cumberland at
torney. had 37,351 votes to 21,714
for Miss Brown. Of Baltimore.
Granting Miss Brown all of
Baltimore City's 42 unit votes,
these combined with the Is she
received from the counties would
not give her enough for the nom
ination, which requires at least II
convention votes.
Senator Tydings ran away with
the Democratic Senate nomina-
ton, as his hackers had freely
predicted. The count showed him
with 1858 votes to 1888 for
Hugh j. Monaghan II and IS, 1854
for former Representative John
A. Meyer of Baltimore.
The State primary probably
won't be wound up until Monday
or Tuesday, when Baltimore
County's official vote is reported.
Baltimore City's official count
maye be in by tomorrow night,
although this still is uncertain.

Chest Seeks $4,000
Emergency Fund for
Mobilization Welfare

A $160,000 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 SAL mil
lion to $4,260,000.
1t also brings to nearly S 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 teal
military portion is about $3.50 900.
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. Dufield 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 "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-
Ividual agencies and purposes, in
Icluding 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 j. Keyes
disputed this point at yesterdays
meeting, declaring he thought any
explicit promise to set up the
reserve even if the drive failed
might straightjacket" the budget
committee in taking care of other
community needs.
Other leaders, however, includ-
ing Mr.. Duff1eld, Frank j. Luchs,
who led last years drive, and
Samuel H. Kaufman and Philip
L. 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.

Business Activity
Shows Decrease
During Year lo4o

General business activity for
Pascagoula followed a downward
trend during l949, according to
the January issue of the Missis-
sippi Business Review, published
by the Business Research Station
at Mississippi State.
A comparison of index posi-
tons at the end of each month in
l949 revealed a lower level than
that of the corresponding months
in l943. A study of the trend for
Pascagoula shows that there has
been steady decrease in the
month end positions since 1914.
December Shows Drop
The highest point reached dur
ing 1949 was in February with
397 percent of the l93940 aver
age, and the lowest was recorded
in July with 303 percent. At the
end of December, the index stood
at 3l5 percent, drop Of Z points
from November, l949.
Data collected from the four
cities in the district placed De-
cember business activity approx
imatelY 80 percent under that for
December l948. Ocean Springs
yves the only ciiv to report an in
crease for all factors. This gave
the city an overall gain of 1875
percent.
The decreases for the remain
ing cities were: Pascagoula, ~
percent; Lucedale, percent; and
Moss Point, 40 percent. Bank
debts were down 6.3 percent in
Pascagoula and 7.3 percent in
Moss Point. Lucedale showed
very little change for this indi-
Gator, a gain of z percent, and
Ocean Springs reported an in
crease of 22.2 percent.
Gains In Certain Phases
Pascagoula had a general in
crease of "a percent over Novem-
Der 1949. This was due largely to
the gains in bank debts, postal
receipts and telephones in service
in that city.
