REIsTERSTOWN, sMd., Sept.
ia missing wallet was sought
by Baltimore County Police to-
day as a clue to the fatal beating
of John B. Shroyer, 70.
Absence of the farmers wallet
led investigators to believe rob-
berry was the motive for the as
Sault which caused his death. +
Miss Alma Shroyer of Finks-
burg, Md, sister of the victim,
told police Mr.. Shroyer had the
wallet with him Wednesday, the
day before his body was found
in a neighbours garage.
George Merrick. who lives four
doors from Mr.. Shroyer, said he
found the body in the Merrick
garage amid evidence of a savage
fight. An Oil can and a basket
of apples had been overturned
and blood was splattered about
the garage.
Mr.. Shroyer, a widower who
police were told often visited the
Merrick home to watch tele-
vision, suffered a fractured skull.

This would depend, he said, upon
revenue received from sources
other than taxation and from
the increases in assessed values.
Some of the bond proposals
would be self-liquidating. In
the program Immediately pro-
posed the SIT million for water
improvements would be paid off
with quarterly service charges.
The money would build 6-mil-
lion gallon reservoir, acquire a
site and provide mains. This is
known as Phase II of the de-
velopment program for the water
system. ...
No more water bonds would
be sought until the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1859, when
Phase Ill would need $1,757 900.
Departments Consulted.
Mr.. johnson said the program
was arrived rat after consulting
all department heads ana meet
ing with the school board.
In the long-range program,
the schools would seek a S. mil
lion bond authorization for fiscal
1856 and q similar sum two
years later. ra
The $4,000 proposed this
year for fire protection would
purchase sites and pay for three
new stations. Equipment would
be acquired out of general fund
revenues.
The item of $3.50, 900 would be
used to expand the existing in
Generator plant.
: The recreation program was
held to $105,000 "in the face of
other more urgent needs" Some
improvements in this program
would more properly be met by
annual appropriation from the
general fund, the committee said.
Land Acquisition Program.
The 100000 for land acquisi-
ton would be divided this way:
For rights-of-way to block real
estate developments threatening
major highways, 100000; for a
flood control program along
South Four Mile Run and land

treatment plant, 5000, 900; to
purchase land to expand facili-
ties at the courthouse, $3O0, 900,
and another $500, 1000 for library,
health clinics and other sites.
No general purpose bond issues
are included for next fiscal year
but for the period ending June
80, 1857, $2.5 million is sug-
gested; two years later an addi-
tional $743,O 900 is planned and in

Senate Police Group
| Gets No Complaints
To Date on Elections
By The Assoeioted Press

Senators assigned to police
this years Senate elections re-
ported today they've received
no complaints to date.
Should any election be con-
tested. it's likely the disputes
would be handled at the new
Senate session in January. The
policing" arrangements set up
before adjournment last monthly
provide relatively little in the
way of staff and funds.
Thirty-seven Senate seats go
on the block November 2.
Senate election contests usually
are filed after the November
balloting, but this has not always
been the case.
Primaries Decisive.
In most Democratic Southern
States and a few Republican
strongholds, primary elections
are decisive. Thus, contests have
arisen out of such primaries in
the past.
Policing Senate campaigns is
the responsibility of an cleo
tons subcommittee headed by
Senator Barrett, Republican, of
Wyoming and including Sen
ators Potter, Republican, of
Michigan and Hennings, Demo-
crat, of Missouri.
The Senate gave this group
| $4,000 in May for operations
during the rest of this year. It's

the first candidate to comply
with Federal laws on reporting
campaign funds.
Senator Smith reported contri-

lican Senatorial Campaign Com
mittee. She listed no expendi-
lures up to August %, the date
of her initial report.
Technical Violation.
Mr.. Trice said Paul Fullam,
Colby College professor and her
defeated Democratic opponent,
technically violated the law by
not filing a campaign fund re-
port 10 to Is days in advance
of the Maine election.
ut may be our fault" Mr..
Trice added. saying blank forms

Fullam in time.
The Federal Corrupt Practices
Act requires sworn campaign
statements of all Senate candi-
dates both before and within
80 days after an election.
The law carries penalties of
fine up to $1,000 or as much as
a year in jail, or both, for any
violation and up to the $4,000
fine and two years in jail, or
both. for conviction of a "willful

New Anti-Cancer Drug
Discovered by Scientist
By the Associated Press

STOCKHOLM. Sweden, Sept.
18.-The German scientist who
discovered sulfa drugs announced
yesterday the discovery of a new
compound which he says has
striking effects upon laboratory
cancers.
DR.. Gerhard Domagk, who won
the Nobel Prize for medicine in
1899, said the new drug had a
specific effect against tumors
and made them disappear just as
quickly as they had grown.
A 10-day-old experimental
tumor, he told nearly 1000 doc
tors attending the third inter
national congress 'of internal
medicine here, disappeared in
exactly 10 days under the action
Of the new drug. :
DR.. Domagk described the new
compound as chimone with
ethylenimine groups and said its
action is extremely swift, even
in dilutions as weak as lao
millionth.

BERLIN.-Konrad Alden
auer, West Germany's 78-year-
old Chancellor, told me not
long ago that he likes a mys-
terry story as an antidote to his
cares of state. But he has
found the mystery of DR.. Otto
John a singularly unrelaxing
one.
In the case of DR.. John, the
double-crossing chief of West
Germany's anti-subversive &C
tivitieS, DR.. Adenauer is in the
position of having to pay for
other peoples mistakes.
In 1914. Otto John belonged
to a Communist directed
underground group called 1.-THE
Red Band" Toward the end of
the war, he escaped to England
via Spain and Portugal. He
came under the protection of
two officials of the British For
eign Ofhce-the notorious Guy
Burgess and Donald MacLean,
who disappeared behind the
Iron Curtain in 1851.
Through his friends Burgess
and MacLean, Otto John re-
ceived important assignments
connected with the Intelligence
Service. He was given a key
role in the screening of 200
German generals interned in
British camps. He returned to
Germany in 1949. British pres
sure got DR.. John his key posi-
ton as president of the Federal
Office to Protect the Constitu-
ton. In view of this, informed
observers rank Britain's Bur-
sS-MacLean scandal with

In addition to directing the

Mrs. Wedel is q member Of
both the Public Welfare Advis-

such she Is deeply concerned
with the increasing delinquency
rate and thinks churches In the
community can help alleviate
the problem.
''If the family becomes active

The idea of the new project,
Mrs. Wedel explained, is to

Of juvenile offenders before they,
too, become delinquent.
Mrs. Wedel was cautious in
making any predictions on the
results Of the churchwomen's

she pointed out, so they will
have to feel their way along
