Doctor Resigns Post
In Protest at Firing
|0f Hospital Official

The furore over the dismissal
lof Harry w. Penn, jr.. as super
intendent Of Prince Georges Cen
eral Hospital continued to rage
today although the county COM
missioners showed no inclination
| to alter their sudden decision Of
last week.
One hospital director. DR.. Paul
lS. Herring, has resigned with the
parting shot that the whole pro-
cedure looks pretty rotten" to
him.
The resignation of william
Bowie as q member Of the hos
lpital's l5-memher Board Of Direc-
tors also was accepted yesterday
by the all-Republican commits
sioners, but Mr.. Bowie said his
action had nothing to do with
the firing Of Mr.. Penn"
Stan to Meet Commissioners.
The medical staff of the hos
pital, meanwhile. mapped plans
for another appearance before the
commissioners. probably next
week. A committee Of six physi-
clans from the hospital and the
county medical society was clos
eted with the, commissioners for
two hours Tuesday but was unable
to get the board to retain Mr..
Penn. who was appointed to the
post almost two years ago by the
old Democratic commissioners.
DR.. Herring, like the physicians
committee, accused the commits
sioners of playing politics when
they firei Mr.. Penn and ap-
pointed a Republican, Harold T.
Rice. administrator Of the 16-bed
Warren's Hospital at Laurel. to re-
place him, effective May Is.
DR.. Herring told q reporter he
"does not think politics should
enter into the hospital"
"They are firing a good man Tor
a man who isn't qualified" he
added. ''If they are going to work
things that way I don't want any
part Of it,"
Cites Previous Assurance.
DR.. Herring said he understood
the commissioners previously had
told Mr.. Penn he could stay on as
superintendent. The commission.
ers maintain that when Mr.. Penn
offered to resign soon after last
falls election, they asked him tt
remain, but only until they could
appoint q successor.
The commissioners further cited
their reappointment Of David A.
lMcNamee as assistant superin-
tendent of the hospital as evidence
that they did not dismiss Mr.. Penn
for purely political reasons. Mr..
McNamee also was an appointee
of the old Democratic commits
sioners.
The commissioners admit, how
ever, that they did not discuss Mr..
Evening star., 1951-04-21

lPenn's dismissal with either the
hospitals directors or medical
staff. They amended hospital by
laws requiring that new superin-
tendents be recommended by the
directors.
In another action at its meeting
in the courthouse in Upper MARI
|boro yesterday, the board ap-
pointed Robert L. Beall to be
senior inspector In the county en-
gineer's Office at an annual salary
of $500, effective Monday.

Columbus Police
Shake Down BOYS
In Theft of Flares

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 9.-You
could hardly light match in some
sections of South Columbus yes
terday without the neighbors
shouting for the gendarmes.
Male small fry were shaken
down like Sing Sing after an
escape scare. Police cruisers sour

partment officials broadcast:

given"
There we're several hundred
reasons for these peculiar actions
several hundred signal flares
stolen from a war surplus store.
The flares are designed to be
fired by a rifle or a carbine and
have an explosive charge.
Youth of the area liberated the
flares during a fire in an adjoin-
ing property. They have been
tearing them apart to get at a
small silk parachute inside. One
schoolboy was burned Monday
night trying this trick.
Fire prevention investigators
began calling on all South Column
bus schools, calling student as

number of flares taken.

Leaders Hope 10 Find
Formula 10 Aid Unesco
lin World Peace Effort

Leaders in the fields Of educa-
tion, science, the arts and gov
eminent met here today to de-
velop United States policy on a
program for NESCO. hoping to
find a formula which will help
promote world peace and security.
Members of the United States
Commission for the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cul-
tural Organization opened a
three-day meeting by debating
policy recommendations Of their
Executive Committee.
They expected to adopt report
later today at a session in the
United States Chamber of Com
merce auditorium.
A question posed at the outset
jof the discussions was whether
to concentrate UNESCO's efforts
on the immediate future in view
of strained world relations or
take the long-range view and try
to build for the future"
Work Possible in Both.
Milton S. Eisenhower, president
of Pennsylvania State College
and former commission chairman,
held, however, that work could be
done in both spheres. He was one
of five members of a panel which
led today'S discussion.
/ The Executive Committee pro-
posed in general terms that the
commission support activities
which would give vigorous and
effective support to the U. N.
| Among other committee recon-
mendations were these:
/. Help influential leaders and
major public opinion groups to
be more effective in influencing
the course of international affairs
toward peace, security and friend
ship by promoting understanding,
combating racial and social an
tagonisms and relieving tensions.
| 2. Work to extend and improve
education at all levels.
Education Programs Proposed.
3. Develop a program of fun
damental education" under which
the illiterate would be taught not
only how to read and write but
the purpose Of learning. This
envisages an expenditure of $40
million over a period of II years.
4. Invigorate Unesco's share of
work in its own field in technical
assistance for economic and social
development through money sup
piled by U. N.
S. Support a few practical
projects aimed at widening and
improving the sharing and inter-
change of scholarly and cultural
data that contribute particularly
to the above priority tasks and
demonstrate the Importance Of
world cultural interdependence.

The Government financed
Maryland Tobacco Cooperative,
which takes over on a loan basis
leaf on which buyers bids do not
exceed graders markings, got
about 20 per cent of yesterdays
offerings. Last year the figure
was Is per cent.
1.-THE difference resulted from
the fact that farmers, following
custom, marketed fair and low
qualities in volume and left good
grades at home. Offerings of the
lower grades were considerably
heavier yesterday than on open
ing day last year.
Mistake Suspected.
Some warehousemen estimated
the volume of such qualities COM
Iprised at least four f1fthS of the
total sold. They added that farm
ers may be making a mistake in
following this practice because
several large buyers of these grades
have not yet arrived in Maryland
That may mean that low grades
will bring higher prices later.
General Manager Paul MacKie
of the tobacco cooperative point
ed out that France, once one oil

has recently obtained 00.00(
from the Economic Cooperation
Administration for the purchase
of Maryland tobacco. Recently
Spain bought a heavy shipment
of type 80 of several grades. II
was the first sent to that country
in many years.
All tobacco sold yesterday wa!

and light sales volumes will pre-.

General Strike Grips
Capital of Panama in
Protest Over Arias
BY the Associated Press

PANAMA CITY, Panama, May
"a general strike against Pres
1dent Arnulfo AriaS paralyZed this
capital today. There were some
outbreaks of violence as tension
mounted over the Presidents
switching of constitutions.
President Arias and the police
army which put him in power
appeared on the verge of an open
break, although both factions ex-
pressed hope of averting blood
shed.
The general strike was 100 per
cent effective. Not single estab-
hshment along Central Avenue
The clty'S main artery, remained
open. Even two government insti-
buttons, the Banco National and
the Savings Bank, closed their
doors, although employees were
outside. No buses were moving,
and no taxicabs were in sight.
Show Windows Smashed.
Before daybreak the show win
dows OF seven Central Avenue bust
ness establishments were smashed.
Early in the day buses which at
tempted to make their runs were
overturned by crowds demonstrate
ing against the President.
There were reports of a shooting
incident at Santa Ana Plaza, with
out casualties.
Following a meeting with
strong man" Col. Jose Antonio
Remon, national police chief, a
police delegation told the Presi-
dent they wanted to retain the
1916 constitution which DR.. Arias,
III a decree Monday night. re-
placed by the 1941 national char
ter written while he held the
presidency before.
Plebiscite Proposed.
The President replied he was
standing by his decision to rein
state the 1871 constitution. The
police delegation went back to
their headquarters to discuss their
future position.
DR.. Arias had announced earlier
last night he would call a plebis-
cite in which the people could de-
eide which constitution they pre-
ferred. Observers felt, however.
that the stand he expressed to the
police group might cancel this
projected poll.
DR.. Arias' decree swapping con-
situations also had dissolved the
National Assembly, suspended the
right of habeas corpus and put the
nations top courts on a temporary
basis He charged the country
was threatened by subversive plot
ting by opposition leaders and the
outlawed Communist Party.
The police visit to the Presl-
dent came after thousands of
Panamanians marched on police
headquarters last night clamoring
for the Presidents custer.
