To Use Autos
On Vacations
By Arthur Edison
Associoted Press Stoff Writer

The United States motorist is
really on the move.
The American Automobile AS
sociation, III a new report, says
it never has seen anything like
the way we're vacationing.
During the year, the AAA re-
ports, 66 million people will
climb into % million cars and
set out to see the sights, includ-
ing relatives. On the average,
each car will travel 1900 miles
in II days. Each of the three
occupants in each car will come
home minus $140 he started out
with.
More Time Now.
This adds up to $9,24O. .000. 900
q year spent by automobile va
cationers alone.
Why this gadding about?
The two and three week paid
vacation is the answer, the AAA
says.
AS recently as 1910 a week
was about all the vacation
worker could look forward to.
Now the longer vacation is the
rule. Some a. million wage and
salary earners are eligible for
paid vacations.
Most of them, apparently,
jump into their cars Immediately.
There are plenty of cars to
jump into.
The latest figures available for
1851 show 1852, ,591 cars. These
burned up more than 80 billion
gallons of gasoline as they ira
veled 382 2,994,000,000 miles.
MOtels Spring Up.
On a national average there
is one passenger car for every
3.6 persons in this country.
That's enough for every one to
60 riding at the same time, as
every. Sunday driver knows.
One by-product of all this
wandering: The astonishing rise
of the motor court. The AAA
figures there now are $4,000 mo-
tor courts in the United States,
or about three times as many as
In 1910.
Where are we going?
Everywhere. So much SO that
26 States now rate travel as
among their three biggest in
dustries. New Jersey and New
Mexico put travel in the No. /
spot.

In Health Budget Cut
by the Assoeintad Press

BALTIMORE. June 20. - A
committee on medical care has
advised the State Board of
Health to deal with q $5O, 900
slash from its county medical
care program budget through
patient quotas instead Of pro-
rating fees for physicians.
DR.. Robert H. Riley, State
Health Director, said medical
care program quotas will be ad-
miniStered on a waiting-list basis.
Adjustments to cuts In other
activities. including those affect
ing county health programs, will
be worked out by the committee
and reported at the next meet
ing Of the board on July 10, DR..
Riley said.
DR.. Riley said he did not know
as yet how the department will
be hit by Federal fund cuts.
Counties that wish to make up
losses imposed by budget cuts,
may do so. he added.
Nearly $4,000 was cut from
the general local health services
program Of the department.
DR.. Riley had said previously
that when the combined impact
of impeding reductions in Fed
eral funds along with State bud
get cuts are known, it will be nee
essary to reduce department
services.

A Negro child and a white

However. at many Of the

Truman's Hardest Decision.
What was MIR. Truman's hard
est decision?
HE told me after he came
back from PotSdam," said Mr..
Mccormack, ''it was deciding to
drop the first atomic bomb. He
said it was not known then how
weak the japanese were, but they
were great fighters and if we
had to land on those Jap islands
our casualties would be horrible"
Mr.. Mccormack wound up his
reminiScence this way: after
each meeting with the Presidents
some one or two of us would
have a personal matter we would
want to take, up, a request from
some member of Congress or in
tereSt in some appointment. We'd
have to maneuver to stay behind
to get the Presidents ear.
Sometime we'd be successful,
and sometimes not. They both
knew what we had in mind.
Sometimes they'd want to do q
little ducking.
Both men, though, were men
of unlimited courage and great
will power. While they were diff
ferent types, they had the same
philosophy. They were strong
characters" he said, firming his
jaw and shaking his head.
"They were real fighting leaders.
I'm keenly looking forward to
seeing Mr.. Truman again."

In a few minutes Mr.. Woods
showed up and was greeted by
scattered applause. In a last
minute switch in plans he de-
leted all criticism of the Demo-
cratic Byrd machine in his pre-
pared speech which he had dis
tributed to the press in advance.
Instead, he contented himself
with inviting new members into
the party; admonished Repub-

Or~that they themselves at

What was the hardest White

What were the most striking

Now, with the passage of time,
we can get some of the details.
Trumans to Visit Capital.
Mr.. Truman, his wife and his
daughter Margaret are coming
back to Washington tomorrow
for a few days of visiting with
friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Truman are
going to drive in their new car
and put up at the Mayflower
Hotel. Daughter Margaret is
coming over from New York to
join them at the first social. a
steak roast. at the home of Clark
Clifford, Washington lawyer and
counsel to Mr.. Truman when he

members and staff, a luncheon
at the Capitol With all the Demo-
cratic Senators acting as hosts,
and a meal with the folks of the

European Reds Push
Hate-U. 5. Drive
Over Rosenbergs
BY the Assoeiased Press

LONDON. June 20.-A sprink-
ling Of public protest demonstra-
tions accompanied the efforts of
European Communists today to
whip up storm of hate against
the United States over the execu-
ton Of atom spies Julius and
Ethel Rosenberg.
Italian riot police broke up a
crowd of several hundred crying
"assassinS, assassins," before the
United States Embassy in Rome.
About so were arrested.
Minor outbreaks flared also in
Vienna. Copenhagen, Tel Aviv
and London. But nowhere were
there any as vehement as those
which occurred in several Euro
pean capitals last night when
slogan-shouting groups roamed
the streets before and after the
electrocutions.
In Italy the Communicated
General Confederation Of Labor
called a general protest strike
today, but apart from the port
city of Genoa the strike was a
failure. In Genoa streetcars
stopped and work in factories
halted for Is minutes.
Tel Aviv Demonstration.
In Tel Aviv, 200 Israelis dem
onStrated near the United States
Embassy. They were dispersed
without trouble by reinforced po-
lice guards.
About $500 Austrian Commu-
nists marched through the So
Wet sector of Vienna to the
Allied Council building in Stain
Square. They booed and whis-
tied for a few minutes, then dis
persed quietly.
Communists staged a protest
meeting in a public park in
Copenhagen, Denmark, and a
group of 800 attended a "Rosen-
berg memorial" meeting in Lon
don's Hyde Park.
The Moscow radio broadcast
for the benefit of Russian local
newspapers Tass dispatch from
New York saying that the Ro-
senberg death sentences had
been carried out "in defiance of
world opinion"
Other communist comment in
cluded:
Poland's Trybuna Ludu: "Ju-
Illus and Ethel Rosenberg were
electrocuted because they love
peace This was a murder
carefully prepared beforehand
and staged in detail by the thugs
Of the FBI-the American GeS-
tapo."
Called Fighters for Peace.
The Romanian news agency
AgerpreSs: THE Rosenbergs had
no other guilt than that Of being
fighters for the cause of peace
An act of fragrant injustice
has been committed"
In Rome the Communist news
paper lUnita headlined its ac-
count of the executions Fear
of peace armed the hand of
American fascism They
have assaSsinated the Rosen-
bergs."
Even some anti-Communist
newspapers suggested justice
might have been tempered with
mercy.
London's three afternoon
newspapers gave the bare news
without comment. Earlier the
