Democratic Leaders
lin Baltimore County
Pledge Aid 10 Sasscer
BY the Asseeioted Press

TOWSON. Md, Dec. 15.-Rep
Sasscer, Democrat. of Maryland
was promised today that "soon
after the first of the year" he will
have the full support of the
Democratic organization of Balti-
more County"
Mr.. SaSscer Is a candidate for
the Democratic nomination to the
United States Senate seat now
held by Senator O'Conor, also a
Democrat.
The statement came after all
three Democratic county commits
sioners joined in an endorsement
OF Mr.. Sasscer's candidacy.
Sen. O'Conor is expected to be q
candidate for reelection.
H. STREET. Baldwin, president
Of the Board of Commissioners
signed the statement. Concurring
were the other two commissioners
Christian H. Kahl and Michael j
Birmingham. along with State
Senator John Grason Turnbull.
Had Party Faction.
Mr.. Kahl. former board presi-
dent. for years led a county party
faction opposing the Baldwin or
ganization.
The Commissioners and Sena-
tor Turnbull agreed that the elec-
ton of Mr.. Sasscer was very i'm
portant from q Democratic
standpoint"
"The (Maryland) Democratic
Party. since the 1850 election, has
been generally demoralized ano
without co-ordinated State leader
ship.
In elevating q Democrat to
high office. such as United States
Senator, the Democratic Party
needs man who has the courage
that Congressman Sasscer had
displayed in exercising his respon-
'sibility to the party" the state
ment said.
O'COnor Not Named.
The statement did not men
ton Senator O'Conor by name
but continued in this vein:
1--WE cannot hope for our party
again to become the dominant
party by electing to high office
men who are unwilling to dis
charge their responsibility as
party men.
I'VE cannot afford to have in
the United States Senate anyone
who tries to be all things to every
one and is unwilling to assume the
proper responsibility for the max
ing Of party policy"
The statement held that Mr.,
SaSscer is truly representative of
the Democratic Party in Maryland
as we have known it in past
years."

shakedown attempt in connection
with his tax case.
When obvious conflicts in sworn
testimony developed. the subcom-
mittee referred them to Attorney
General McGrath. He. in turn,
sent them to grand jury, which
will have the chore of separating
fact from fiction. There are other
aspects of the case. however. which
the subcommittee has made clear
it will go into later.
Grunewald Involved.
Foremost among them is the
part played by Henry w. (The
Dutchman) Grunewald, the mys-
terious Washington figure whose
name has been brought into vir-
tually every phase of the subcom-
mittee's questioning - involving
high officials and business deal
ers" alike.
Mr.. Grunewald could not be
heard last week because he re-
manned in Georgetown Hospital
with a stomach ailment.
His physician. DR.. John Curry.
said last night Mr.. Grunewald
probably will not be able to leave
the hospital until the middle of
this week, because of the recent
"excitment." After that. he said,
I'm planning to send him away
for awhile
Medically speaking. he could be
able to testify within a week or
two," DR.. Curry said.
Earlier Attack Recalled.
Mr.. Kean, in a press statement,
said Mr.. Grunewald's stomach
trouble" closely paralleled an
other attack a year and a half
ago ION the very day a subpoena
was sworn for him" to appear be-
fore a grand jury. The first case.
he said, involved Mr.. Grune-
wald's part in a Senate wire tap
inquiry.
The Congressman pointed out
that Charles Oliphant, resigned
chief counsel Of the Internal Rev.
|enue Bureau, testified that on De-
cember 6 he told Mr.. Grunewald
he was wanted by the House sub
committee and that within a
few hours Grunewald developed
'gastro-intestinal difficulties and
was admitted to Georgetown Hos
pital."
Transcript Checked.
"After questioning Grunewald
at the hospital last week" he
added. 81 checked the transcript
of a Senate subcommittee which
investigated him in 1850.
From the testimony. I learned
that Grunewald developed di-
verticulitis, an inflammation of the
lower intestine, on July 81, 1850,
the very day a subpoena was
sworn for him to appear before a
grand jury on the charges"
While the subcommittee has not
attempted to set even a tentative
date for hearing Mr.. Grunewald
Mr.. Byrnes said he thought a
possibility would exist any time
after the first of the year.

Montgomery Officials
Are Urged 10 Establish
Police Traffic Bureau

Creation of a separate traffic
bureau in the Montgomery County
police department was urged today
at the first County Traffic Court
Conference at Rockville.
Robert E. Raleigh, traffic direc-
tor of the International Associa-
tion Of Chiefs of Police, told so
county court and law enforcement
officials that the police depart
ment should have traffic bureau
to plan and integrate the county's
drive on highway deaths.
This was proposed in a report
by the association to the County
Council in 1947, Mr.. Raleigh said
but has never been put into effect
Capt. Ernest L. Thompson OF
the Bethesda police sub-station
said, THE accident picture here
now is about the same as it is all
over the country. I guess its about
time we had traffic bureau"
The county has three accident
prevention scout cars at each of
the three suburban police sub
stations, but there is no county
wide traffic and accident control
unit.
Chief Judge Charles w. Wood
ward of the circuit court told the
oficials-and handful of citizens
that "the public is already edu-
Gated about traffic. They know
automobiles kill people"

thing they think they can get

and that jobs and homes must be
found in other lands for many
of those who cannot be employed
in Italy. The history of the
United States shows that a nation
is most fortunate if it can obtain
the energies and skills of Italian
migrants. I hope we can set up
an effective international program
to help solve Italy's problems of
surplus manpower. There are
many places in the world where
people from Italy are needed and
where they can lay the founda-
tions for a prosperous future for
themselves and their children.
Factories Hampered
In addition to idle manpower
Italy has factories which could be
used for defense production if they
were not hampered by shortages
of materials and lack of foreign
exchange. When factories ano
workers in Italy stand idle, that
lis needless loss to the strength
of the free world. Acting together
our government must take steps
to use the resources of Itals man.
power and industrial production
as fully as possible in the great
mobilization effort of the free ma
tions for peace.
The future of Italy lies not only
in domestic progress but also in
closer ties and greater unity with
the free nations that are its
neighbors. We have followed with
great interest the efforts of Ital-
ian statesmen to bring about a
greater sense of European unity
based on moral and cultural val
ues. We expect Italy, with its
great religious and cultural heri-
tage, to take a leading part in
that effort.
Greater unity in defense, great
er unity in economic effort, the
removal of obsolete national bar
riers from the North Sea to the
Mediterranean-these are things
that are needed to provide moi
only security, but social and eco
nomic advancement for the peo-
Piles of Europe.
Only by such changes can VIZ
Ipreserve the fundamental value!
of the past. Only by such com.
bined effort can we counter tht
menace of Soviet aggression. Only
through such cooperation by all
can we raise the living standard!
and increase the opportunities o1
any single nation.
In these great tasks, Mr.. Prime
Minister, we wish the 1taliar
people good fortune and SPEEDY
success. Rest assured that we arr
