Army May Cut Back
R0TC Commissions
BY the Asseeioied Press

The Army said today it may
not be able to commission all
students graduating in 1855 from
its Reserve Officer Training
Corps.
It expects, however, to be able
to take in as officers all those
completing the ROTC training
course during the 1953-54 COL
lege year.
The 1855 graduates who are
not offered commissions will be
subject to the draft, but will
receive special treatment if they
are drafted. Details of the spe-
cial treatment have not yet been
worked out.
There is no assurance, the
Army added, that 1855 gradu-
ates who are commissioned can
be assigned in the branches they
choose.
The Army explained that bud
getary limitations and the low
cred manpower ceiling will force
a probable cutback in COM
missions for student officer can
didateS. The Army recently an
nounced that about 5000 re-
serve officers would be forced
from active duty in the near
future to meet reduced officer
corps limits imposed by the
current military budget.

Both of these witnesses offered
testimony in rebuttal to recon-
mendations made earlier by

Alabama avenue Sc.
Families have been moving

qualified them for the low-rent

lilies remaining also qualify for
public housing and that the
agency hopes to place them in
projects it controls soon.
The NCHA, as well as the Dis
trict Redevelopment Land Agen-
cy, has been assisting other fam
lilies to find new homes. The RIA

stained shirt in her kitchen
when suddenly the can burst in
to flame. It apparently was
ignited by the pilot light of the
gas stove, police said.
Mrs. Treadway's screams
brought her husband from the
back yard. David and his 21a-
year-old brother Terry were in
the kitchen with her.
Mr.. Treadway said he picked
up the flaming can of gasoline
and threw it into the back yard
He got his wife into the dining
room and put little David out
the back door.
David crawled right into the
flaming gasoline. Mr.. Treadway
grabbed the boy and beat out his
flaming clothing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Treadway we're
treated at Arlington Hospital for

G.0.P.Chaffinq
Move for Draft
Of Mcke|din
Governor to Be Asked
To Run, Beull Says;
Butler Backs Drive
Rx the A..eeie,sd Pres,

With all signs pointing today
to a hot fight for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor
next year, Maryland Republican
leaders sought to avoid a similar
intra-party battle by drafting
Gov. McKeldin for another term.
After a strategy meeting in
Ocean City yesterday, Senator
Beall said he and other G. o. p.
chieftains would call on Nc
Keldin to run again.
The Ocean City announcement
came within "a hours after DR..
H. C. Byrd. University of Mary
land president, confirmed that
he is going after the Democratic
nomination.
MahOney Seen Candidate.
DR.. Byrd became the second
member of his party to an
nounce his plans, Mayor Thomas
D'Alesandro of Baltimore having
declared himself a candidate for
the nomination one week earlier.
George P. Mahoney, the Balti-
more contractor who almost won
the nomination in 1850, contin-
ued to shy away from the ques-
ton but is expected to announce.
He is winding up tour Of all
% counties on what he calls
his "meet-the-people" campaign.
Besides Senator Beall, those at
the Ocean City Republican
council-of-war included Deeley
K. Nice and Charles A. Dorsey.
Butler Backs Move.
A clue to the strength of the
draft -McKeldin move lay in the
agreement of Senator Butler to
go along. He and the Governor
split in the battle for the Re-
publican presidential nomina-
ton last year, with Senator
Butler backing Senator Taft and
Gov. McKeldin playing lead
ing role in the Eisenhower camp.
In Baltimore yesterday, SEN
ator Butler said of the plan to
draft McKeldin:
IF he wants a second term I
will be for him and support
him up to the hilt."
The strategists insisted Gov.
McKeldin did not know of their
plan. They indicated they would
present it to him at a luncheon
in Annapolis tomorrow.
Governor Seen Willing.
Although McKeldin said in
April, 1851. he would be a "one-
term Governor" as recently as
last May he indicated a change
of heart by saying his "inclina-
ton" at that time was to run
again.
Speculation at the moment is
that DR.. Byrd may formally open
his campaign September 80 when
the Young Mems Democratic
Club of Prince Georges County
holds a dinner at the University
Of Maryland.
DR.. Byrd is to be principal
speaker, and 1000 Democrats
from throughout the State have
been invited.
