Young Democrats Hit.
Mahoney and Party
In Call for Clean Drive
By Gene Goodwin
Sfor Stoff Correspondent

OCEAN CITY, Md. Sept. 19
-Maryland's Young Democrats
wound up their biennial conven-
tion here tonight after emphati-
cally scolding the State party
in general and George P. Ma
honey in particular.
Hardly anybody mentioned
Mr.. Mahoney directly, but he
obviously was on the minds OF
all the delegates as they made
and heard speeches and passed
resolutions condemning mud
singing and character assassi-
nation"
Urge High-LeveI Campaign.
A carefully. but strongly
worded, resolution unanimously
approved by the Young Demo-
Gratis today was interpreted as
being aimed at Mr.. Mahoney
when it called on all Democratic
candidates in the primary next
June Ito conduct their cam
palgns on the highest level in
order that the party may enter
into the general election of 1854
as a consolidated group
1t said a great factor" in the
defeats the Democrats suffered
in 1850 and 1852 was the bitter
primary campaigns of those
years which left our party torn
with strife and split into many
factions"
That resolution was substi-
tuted by the Resolutions Com
mittee for so-called harmony
proposal put forth by three
county delegations.
Was Thorn to Democrats.
Mr.. Mahoney's aggressiv e
campaigning in the 1850 and
1852 primaries earned him the
title of number one thorn in the
side of Maryland organized
Democrats.
In 1850, he narrowly lost to
former Gov. William Preston
Lane, jr., for the gubernatorial
nomination, and Mr.. Lane went
on to defeat by Republican Gov.
McKeldin. Mr.. Mahoney, a
wealthy Baltimore contractor
came back to defeat former Rep
resentative Sasscer for the Sen
atorial nomination in 1852, but
was easily whipped by Republi-
can Senator Beall in the general
election.
Mr.. Mahoney. who has been
travelling around the State al
summer as though he intended
another try for governor, also
came in for attack in speeches
here by Mr.. Lane and Mayor
D'Alesandro of Baltimore.
1T was the members of the
Democratic Party who defeated
us in 1850 and 1882" Mr.. Lane
said last night, referring to the
primary 81 campaigns of those
years as harvard squabbles."
Mr.D'Alesandro, an announced
candidate for governor himself,
was more emphatic in his key
note. He left no doubt that his

German Tells How He Fooled
British With Holland Radio

Thus began Operation Nord-

in Holland, but also supervised
nearly 200 drops" Of men and
materials Into German hands.
THE careleSsneSS of the en-
emy." Giskes says, sis illustrated
by the fact that more than ID
different radio links were estab-
lished with London"
More than so agents sent from
Britain were picked UP. Traps
were laid for Royal Air Force
planes after they had delivered
stores and sabotage materials
ordered by Giskes. Twelve
bombers were shot down "ac-
cording to plan" 81
To keep London satisfied, dunn
my acts Of sabotage were ar
ranged. including the blowing
up. in broad daylight, Of q 1000
ton Rhine barge at Rotterdam.
Two Agents Escaped.
The end of this fantastic de-
ception came with the escape Of
two allied agents. Giskes writes:
1.-THE game was up. Signals
from London became useless"
In last taunt over the air to
London-on April Fools Day,
1944-he radioed: 1--WE under
stand you have been endeavor-
ing for some time to do business
in Holland without our assist
ance. We regret this the more
since we havel acted for so long
as your sole representatives in
this country-to our mutual sat-
isfaction."
With the Giskes memoirs is
printed a denial by 1t. LAWYERS
that he betrayed his organiza-
ton. He says he repeatedly
warned London that he was in
enemy hands.
In every message he sent from
March to October. the agreed
warning was included. Yet. all
were ignored.

LONDON, Feb. 4 (NANA-Kem-

Of incompetence by the special
operations executive of the Bril-
fish Secret Service during the
war are alleged by the former
chief of German counter-espion-
age in Holland in a book, LON

lished here.
The author, H. j. Giskes, states
that in 90 months in 1912 and
1943 he was able to hoodwink
the Secret Service in London so
that more than so allied agents
were dropped by parachute into
the waiting arms Of the Germans.
The facts outlined by Giskes in
his book have been known to the
Foreign Office since before the
end Of World War II.
No statement on the "blun-
ders" that led to the deaths Of
the allied agents, and Of British
bomber crews who ferried tons

reader.
MANY of the disclosures
Giskes makes were confirmed by
a parliamentary committee set
up to investigate all aspects Of
the policy Of the Netherlands
government in London during
the war"
Giskes tells how his organ

transmitter at The Hague early
in March, 1912. They seized it's

Notre Dame Research
Outlined 10 Alumni

Important research In atomic
energy is being conducted at the
University Of Notre Dame, James
w. Prick. project director Of the
Notre Dame Foundation, said
last night.
He spoke before more than zoe
alumni of Notre Dame and their
wives last night at a dinner
meeting at the Carlton Hotel.
Mr.. Prick said the research
centers around a new 4-million-
volt electro-static generator, or
atom smasher, recently installed
in the new $2.5 million Nieuw-
land Science Hall, opened this
week on the Notre Dame campus.
Supplementing this generator, is
a 2.5-million-volt electro-static
generator, which has been in OPP
Grafton at Notre Dame since
1945.
Notre Danes experiments in
germ-free life, he said, also are
being expanded, with the addi-
ton of several especially de-
signed laboratories in that field.
Among research projects now
under way are experiments in
the nature of tooth decay, air
borne epidemics and cancer.
Mr.. Prick also reported to the
alumni that the Notre Dame
Foundations 10-year program
to bring $25 million to the uni
versity for necessary expansion
of facilities and endowment is
running on schedule. About $40
million has been given so far to
the foundation by alumni and
friends of the university from all

Auto Engineers Say u. S. Cars

American cars aren't going to
grow any longer or wider, al
though Americans will never ac-
cept an undersize car, according
to three Detroit engineers and
designers interviewed in the
February issue of Popular Me-
chanics magazine.
William Graves, vice presi-
dent, engineering. and Edward
Macauley. chief engineer in
charge of styling, Packard Motor
Co., and George Walker, who
styled the current Ford line,
made up a panel comparing for
eign and American automobiles.
Replying to a question Of
whether American cars are going
to keep getting bigger and long
er, Mr.. Graves said: Cars aren't
going to get any bigger We
now have cars with an overall
length that takes up most of the
garages in use, and I don't see
that even our biggest cars can
get much longer"
Mr.. Walker agreed with him
and added that "you don't have
to make them any wider because
you have comfort now but
we are bringing them down in
height
The three agreed that the
American public would never &C

Roughness Spells
IGNITION Trouble

A faulty ignition system will
show UP as a more pronounced
engine roughness than troubles
caused by carburetion or uneven
compression.
If you have any doubt about
this just try the simple expert
ment of disconnecting one of the
spark plug wires and tying it
away from the engine head. The
engine will be so rough any ir-
regularities in idling from other
causes will seem to be quite
minor.
An exception to the rule is
when there is trouble with the
carburetor float. Should the float
stick so as to flood the motor. or
starve it, the engine will stumble
badly and often stall.

The appearance Of the 1858
Nash Ambassador and States
man models is relatively un-
changed from last year, but sew
eral mechanical improvements
have been introduced.
A new model, called the Coun-
try Club. has been added to the
stable.
Nash models again have been
styled by PENN Farina, famous
Italian designed of custom cars.
ALI are simple in design and
clearly show Italian influence,
while satisfying the American
demand for size and comfort.
The Statesman, smaller of the
two models, is powered by an
improved, six-cylinder Power
f1yte engine of 100 horsepower.
The Ambassador uses the 100
horsepower Super Jetfire, an
overhead-valve six-cylinder en-
gine. It has seven main bear
ings. more than any other Amer
ican make. The result is an ex-
tremely stiff crankshaft with
practically no whip"
In addition, Nash offers as op-
tional equipment on the Am
bassador the LIE Mans dual jet
fire engine of 140 horsepower.
This is the engine which has
been so successful in the 24-hour
race at LIE Mans, France, and is
the only American engine to fin
ish three consecutive races there.
Cars powered with this engine
placed fourth in 1850, sixth in
1851 and third in 1852.
The dual .jetfire has two
carburetors and an aluminium
cylinder head that gives an 81
compression ratio.

year on the Ambassador. It is
