Lowest Infant
Death Rate in
State, in County

The 1862 death rate in Mont
gomery County among infants
under year of age is the lowest
of any county in Maryland, it was
announced by DR.. Audrey J. Nc
Donald, Assistant Health Offices.
She stated that the excellent care
given mothers during pregnancy
by physicians, together with a
high standard of living are import
ant factors in achieving this re-
cord.
The birth rate was higher than
all other Maryland counties except
Calvert. A rate of 1875 births per
1000 population in Montgomery
County compares with 34.3 in Cal
vert County and 25.8 for the State.

Chambers Declares
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. July 14.-Ex-
Communist Whitaker Cham
bers says businessmen, includ-

play an important role in the
American Communist Party.
Mr.. Chambers writes in the
current issue of Look Magazine
that the party used to contain
chiefly small to middling busi-
neSsmen," but nov there are.
probably more of them, and
bigger"
These Communist business
men. Mr.. Chambers says, are of
more use to the party than
mere workingmen," and often
lend their businesses and serv-
ices to cover the party's secret
activities"
For example, he says, Commu-
mist literature used to be dis
tributed through group Of
Washington drug stores to men,
bers of secret cells in the Federal
Government.
Mr.. Chambers, the one-time
Red espionage agent whose testi-
mony sent Alger Hiss to Jail.
says the American Communist
Party now is engaged in a major
business venture -" Operation
Nest Egg"
Its objective, as described by
Mr.. Chambers, is to get party
assets invested in businesses in
such a way as to make tracing
its holdings difficult, if not i'm
possible.
In this way, the party hopes
to escape conflscation in case
the party is outlawed," Mr..
Chambers writes.
