|Mckeldin 10 Review
Coed Housing Needs

Gov. McKeldin has indicated q
willingness to study the critical
housing situation at the University
OF Maryland, according to DR.
Harry c. Byrd, president.
DR.. Byrd today said the Governor
has indicated he would be glad
to meet with a committee from
the university's Board of Regents
A shortage Of dormitory beds
may force a large number OF
co-eds to live off campus. DR.. Byrd
said it was a case of about 1000
applicants for 625 beds.
On Saturday DR.. Byrd blamed
the housing shortage on those
who failed to furnish funds for
housing. He said then he felt Gov
Mckeldin should come to College
Park to- see the crowded condi-
tions.
DR.. Byrd today suggested that
newspapers leave the matter tc
officials to handle. He said he
doubted If any students were ar
irving on campus without dormi-
tory housing or accommodations
in nearby homes.

When ConWcts Are at Lorqe
Is Twice Mistaken
As Fugitive Here
On Rockville Trip

This business Of mistaken iden-
tity is becoming monotonous for
Jesse Jernigan. who is firing of
the game of cops and robbers.
Mr.. Jernigan. 27, from Goodwin,
N. c., was standing in the 400
block of Wisconsin avenue NV.
this morning, hoping for a ride
north. The proprietor of a busi-
ness place in that block called
police.

told the dispatcher, fitted the de-
Scription of one of trio of armed
convicts who fed Federal prison
at Lewisburg, Pa, last Wednes-
day.
| Three scout cars and a patrol
wogan converged on the scene.
Il was just stepping from the
curb when a cruiser stopped in
front of me-" Mr.. Jernigan said.
Il looked around to see if bank
had been held up."
But when the officers beckoned
to him. he was not surprised.
This was the second time in the
past "a hours that District police
have halted Mr.. Jarnigan in his
journey from his home to visit a
friend in Rockville.
Last night, about $3.50 o'clock, a
scout car halted an QUITO in which
he had hitched a ride just as it
entered the District from Vir-
ginia. The police thought Mr..
Jernigan might be a man who held
up store earlier in Virginia. But
they let him go when he estab-
liShed his identity.
The same thing happened to-
day. Mr.. Jernigan, happy that
there are few police stations be-

By the Associoied Press

ALLENTOWN. Pa, Sept. 15.-
Without a single positive clue fol
nearly u hours. police officials
clung stubbornly today to the
belief that three fugitive bank
robbers, target of Pennsylvania +
greatest manbunt in years, still
might be holed up somewhere
near this Northeastern industrial
city. They acknowledged, how
ever, a sgrowing possibility that
the men had slipped away.
State police, FBI men and local
officers. all heavily armed, were
cautiously on the lookout for the
three who have been described
|off1cially as desperate and
vicious" Roadblock and patrols
covered main and rural roads over
an area hundreds of miles square.
G-Men Reinforced.
There is nothing to indicate
the fugitives have got out of this
area" said Arthur Cornelius

both of Harlan County, KY, and

goods store of six shotguns and a
quantity of ammunition, held q
family OF seven captive for 1s

beck, commanding officer of the
National Naval Medical Center al
Bethesda, the sessions principa
speaker. addressed 500 guests anc
students on the role of doctors ir

DR.. Walter Bloedorn, dean o1
the School of Medicine, made the
opening address. He said the
School of Medicine, during its
129 years. has trained a fair
share of the Nations doctors now
In practice or entering practice.
Serves Million Persons.
Roughly one million persons, ~
he said, from one end of the
country to the other receive medi-
cal care from physicians trained
at this school of medicine"
DR.. Bloedorn said the one thing
the school needed was an up-to-
date modern physical plant" to
house a new medical school,. He
said that was the hope for the
future.
Admiral Groesbeck said the man
of medicine could make a conSid-
cradle contribution IN the field of
aviation toward the expansion of
civilization.
"A good deal of work." the ad-
miral said. "is being done in the
field of deceleration with the hope
of lessening the number of fatal
crashes. All people directly con-
cerned with the saving of lives in
airplane crashes are unanimous in
the opinion that backward-facing
seats in commercial aircraft would
markedly decrease the mortality
in crashes"
Space Medicine Begins. \
To-day" the speaker said, 1--WE
are thinking of the development
of planes which will reach the
moon and other planets. It may
interest you to know that the Aero
Medical Association has author
lied the formation of a space
medicine branch which is con-
cerned with inter- planetary travel,
a seeming impossibility which
am certain will eventually be
realized"
DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin. presi-
dent of the university, welcomed
the new students.

Gus branches of the Armed Forces

Arlington Group
To Pick Board
Slate Sept. Is
Town Meeting Bockers
Seek to Replace Men
Ruled Out by Court

Sponsors of the Arlington Town
Meeting have tentatively decided
to re-convene on September Is to
nominate county board candidates
to replace board members who
have been ruled out of Office be-
cause they are Federal employ cs.
A special election has been set
for November 4. general e;ection
day.
The sponsors met Saturday at
the home of Alan L. Dean, one of
the three officials who are ex-
pected to be replaced this week
in the wake of Virginia Supreme
Court decision barring Federal
employees from holding local or
State Office.
Daniel A. Dugan, another board
member affected by the decision.
said today the group agreed on
Saturday that he will be one of
the nominees because he was
nominated by the Town meeting
in 1850 and elected to serve a four
year term. Mr.. Dugan was then
a Federal employe but has since
entered private business and is
eligible to seek the Office.
No Definite Action on Dugan.
However. Edward B. Hincks.
acting chairman of the Sponsors
Committee. said no definite deci-
sion has been reached by the
sponsoring group on Mr.. Dugan,s
status.
He said another meeting is
scheduled to be held tomorrow
night at Mr.. Deans home.
The other board member de-
clared ineligible to hold Office is
Robert w. Cox. In all, four seats
will be filled in the election No
vember 4. since Alfred E. Frisbie.
a Democrat, has decided not to
seek reelection. The fifth board
member is Robert A. Peck, q Re-
publican. who took Office Janu-
larry /.
The three declared ineligible to
serve are all non-partisans. At
its session earlier this month the
Town Meeting nominated Ivan A.
Booker, a National Education As
sociation employe, to seek the
seat to be vacated by Mr.. Frisbie.
Two Alternatives.
Mr.. Hincks said the sponsoring
committee decided Saturday that
there are two alternatives. One
Is to nominate candidates for the
one year remaining in Mr.. Cox's
four-year term and the three
years remaining of Mr.. Deans
four-year term. In this case, he
said. Mr.. Dugan would probably
run as a non-partisan, but would
have to conduct his own cam
paign.
The other alternative is to
nominate three candidates. in
Guiding one who would complete
the two years remaining of Mr..
Dugan's four-year term. In this
event, Mr.. Dugan would have to
enter the Town Meeting as a can
didate along with anybody else
seeking the nomination, MIR.
Hincks explained.
