BY loudspeaker announcement
the crowd was advised to remain
stationary, because the train
would be backed about 80 feet
so that it would be in the desired
place.
A few minutes later, however
an announcement was made that
railroad officials decided it would
be impossible to back the train.
The crowd then was invited to
close in behind the observation
car in order to be close to the
speakers scheduled to appear.
Air Valve Opened.
Seconds after the throng moved
onto the track, the big train began
moving backward.
At that moment Mr.. Murphy
opened the air valve that set the
brakes but the momentum already
gained caused the train to roll
for the 20 feet.

The B. & o. issued the follow
ing statement on the incident:
'The Stevenson campaign train
arrived Silver Spring at 1922
am. The rear end stopped about
80 feet east of the designated
point on account of equipment
for movies and TV, spotted on
trucks on east-bound platform.
The rear end of train was too far
east of the equipment to make a
hook-up and take pictures.
THE committee on the train
requested that the train back up
about so feet and Supt. Murphey
agreed on the third request. Ar
rangements then were made with
the head end to back the train
up and one of the committee
members, after the instructions
were given to back the train up,
came out on the rear platform
and beckoned the people to come
up to the train.
"The train started to back up
and as the crowd was moving
toward the rear Of the car, a stop
was made after backing IS feet
in order to avoid the possibility
[of injury to spectators. Mr..
Murphey ran over and pulled the
air brake on the back of the train
himself"

Mcke|din Reports
On Road Extension
And Hospital Needs
BY the Associated Press

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, Oct. 81
Gov. McKeldin gave an account
ing of his stewardship in an ad-
dress for the Hagerstown Kiwanis
Club yesterday, saying one of
the reasons for his visit was to
get a first-hand look at sites pro-
posed for a new State chronic
disease hospital here.
He confirmed previous expecta-
tions that another extension OF
the dual highway on U. S. Route
40 from Baltimore west toward
Frederick will be opened about the
middle of November.
He said contracts for complet-
ing it into Frederick will be let
early next year.
Praises His Predecessor.
The Governor took the occa-
sion to praise his predecessor
former Gov. William Preston
Lane, jr., of Hagerstown, and he
said:
With my fingers only Slightly
crossed, can say to you that
believe We are at last on the way
toward replenishing the once great
oyster supply that came from
Chesapeake Bay and helped tc
bring fame to Maryland.
THE present Tidewater Fish
cries Commission is planting oys-
ters in the lower area of the bay
for the first time in 20 years. The
laws of conservation are being in
forceo. New beds are being op-
ened and studies of this problem
are being continued"
Summing up his review of the
States progress, Gov. McKeldin
said:
I'VE have not solved all of our
problems. Even if we had, new
ones would come to challenge us,
But we have tackled them as they
came before us and I am not un-
happy about the results"
Cites Hospital Work.
/ Gov. McKeldin had this to say
about selecting the site for the new
hospital in Hagerstown, a prob
lem which aroused a lively con-
troversy here:
1--WE have made considerable
progress in the establishment of
hospitals for sufferers from
chronic diseases who lack the IA
cilities or the opportunities for the
necessary care at home and the
wherewithal to provide for them
selves in private institutions.
"Such hospitals are in opera
Ition in Baltimore and on the
Eastern Shore. Our problem is in
Western Maryland, specifically
right here in Hagerstown.
Gov. McKeldin had this to say
about former Gov. Lane:
"Under the administration OF
your fellow townsman, good prof.
ects were launched and good plan
ming was done. These are being
carried out diligently. OF course,
the great project of that admins
tration was the Chesapeake Bay
Bridge, now in operation, and do
ing even better than anticipated
by its most enthusiastic advocates
am told at the present rate OF
travel over that span the tolls will
pay off the revenue bonds in about
10 years, instead of the estimated
Is years.
}, "Now studies are being made
toward plans for a tunnel under
Baltimore harbor."
Much of the Governors talk was
devoted to roads. He pointed out
Ia special advisory commission he
named will report in the next few
weeks on & long study it has made
of present and future highway
; needs. It is expected to propose
a 15-year program to the Genera
Assembly which meets in January

Hottest Plane
Holds Record
Of 1928 nlph

LOS ANGELES GP,-The hottest
plane in the free world, the D55s-2
Skyrocket, holds a new speed rec
ord of 1898 miles an hour, says
the navy.
And the hottest test pilot, lanky
Bill Bridgeman, says zooming at
that speed is mo different than
flying $50 miles per hour"
j The real kick comes, Bridgeman
said in an exclusive interview last
night, when the rocket-propelled
hummingbird runs out of power at
a record altitude of 79,494 feet and
swoops down Is miles for dead
stick landing on the desert.
Both the speed and altitude
marks were confirmed here by
Secretary of the Navy Dan A.
kimball. Bridgeman flew the
Douglas-built rocket ship to un-
precedented heights last Aug. Z
and set the speed record Aug. Is
in tests at Edwards Air Force
Base, Calf.
The Navy previously had admit
ted only that the research plane
had climbed at 1000 miles an
hour"
In all, Bridgeman made six rock
ct flights last summer. The Sky
rocket was launched each time at
$4,000 feet from a B29 mother
ship.
Each time, the 35-year-old Doug
las test pilot said, the needle
nosed 40-foot ship rammed smooth
ly through the sonic barrier-which
is reached at about $50 miles an
hour at $4,000 feet and above. In
pressuriZed suit and cockpi t,
Bridgeman says he was mot es-
pecially conscious of speed
You notice the high speed only
when you make a mistake the
ex-Navy bomber pilot said. "Then
she really jumps and gets hard to
control. Generally, though, there's
too much blue sky and so many
things to do that the speed isn't
noticeable"
The record speed was made in
level flight after the Skyrocket
had reached the apex of her climb
1t was measured by instruments in
the plane and radar ground read
ings carefully checked by the Navy
Bureau of Aeronautics.
The moment that sends your
CUTS into your Shoes" Bridgemar
declares, comes when the last ol
the four rockets used by the plane
loses its thrust.
"Then you have to bend 'er ovel
fast, level off and start gliding fol-
home"

Army's New Tank
Is Unveiled

NEWARK, DeLLR,-The Army
has unveiled what it called the
first completely new medium tank
to be developed since World War
III - streamlined, more powerful
and almost as easy to handle as a
new automobile.
Designated the M-4S or Patton
4S,' il is being produced at the
Chrysler tank plant here and at
two other arsenals. Officials said
sizeable deliveries are expected be-
fore the end of the year.
The tank, in the as to so ton
class, has several notable n ew
features:
/. A lower silhouette than any
other American tank of correspond
ing size. Present u. S. tanks have
been criticized because their height
made them easily spotted.
2. An egg shaped, sloping ell
liptical hull and turret. This makes
1t harder for an enemy shell to
get a bite" into the armor.
3. Wider treads than present me-
dunn tanks. The wider the tread,
the better the tank can operate on
muddy roads, in swampy terrain
or in snow.
d. A 90-milimeter, high velocity
gun with a quick change tube.
Using only simple tools, the liner
of the gun barrel can be changed
in the field in minutes instead OF
sending the tank back to rear areas
for replacement of whole new
gun when repeated firing has worn
the rifling of the tube.
5. A 5O-caliber machine gun on
top of the turret which can be
aimed, fired and loaded from with
in the tank. No longer does the
gunner have to stand with head
and shoulders exposed to enemy
fire.
The tank is named for the late
Gen. George S. Patton, famous
World War II commander and a
leading exponent of armor. His
widow was invited to christen the
new tank Tuesday in ceremonies
presided over by Secretary of the
Army Frank Pace.

Elusive Saucer
Back In Ohio

DAYTON, %. Rp-Those elusive
flying saucers are back in Ohio
again.
Roy T. Ellis of Dayton, president
of the Rubber Steel Products Co.,
said he saw what he guessed to be
a flying saucer over Dayton at
1926 am. EST, Sunday.
He described it as almost like
an ice cream cone with an ellipi-
tical dark object in the center
where the ice ceram would rest in
the cone.
Ellis said "the object was as
wide as full moon with a white
light about as brilliant as the full
moon"
Ellis, an amateur astronomer,
said he was looking for comets
when he saw the saucer"
