There are still other reasons
for blood shortage. AS officials
of the collection center say. the
slack in blood collections is
traced from the end Of the
Korean war, when there were
plenty Of donations to the added
emphasis on blood by modern
medicine. Great quantities Of
blood, sometimes as high as 40
pints or more, are being used
in difficult operations.
In the event Of catastrophy
in the Washington area, most
of the blood needs of victims
could be met-but not imme-
diately. Red Cross officials say.

There are reasons for the sit

If a "drunkometer" can be
borrowed, Judge Fairbanks said,
about a thousand persons ar
rested for drunkenness would be
tested to establish a policeman
as an expert in use of the device.
Then we would take a test case
to court and let the higher courts
rule on the competence of such
evidence" he added.
The magistrate said the Court
of Appeals then could decide the
question of whether a person is
testifying against himself in vio-
lation of the Constitution by
submitting to a "drunkometer"
test.
If the State won on an appeal
of that kind. he said. the county
then would be asked to purchase
a number of the devices.
The Montgomery County
States Attorneys Office said
the appellate court never has
been asked to rule on this issue.

Judge Is Studying
Green S Suit 10 Force
Party Recognition

A suit by former Republican
John Locke Green, to force the
Democrats to accept him as a
candidate for Congress from the
10th congressional district of
Virginia in the July Is primary.
was taken under advisement yes
terday by a Federal judge in
Alexandria.
ANY party that is big enough
to hold Harry Truman under the
wigwam and Harry Byrd under
the same wigwam ought to be
big enough to hold me, too," Mr..
Green told Judge Albert V. Bryan
in District Court.
His suit is directed against
State Senator Charles R. Fen
wick of Arlington. chairman OF
the 10th District Democratic
Committee. which refused to
certify Mr.. Green as candidate.
No Vote for Mrs. Stone.
Mr.. Green admitted that he
did not comply with all require
ments of the Democratic Party
plan. but said he had conformed
to the law in filing for the office.
OF seven Democrats on the
ballot last November, he said he
voted for six.
Il didn't vote for Kathryn
Stone, and I won't vote for her
again." he said.
He referred to the woman dele
gate to the General Assembly
who was elected last fall.
Mr.. Green, who for several
years held Office as Republican
treasurer of Arlington, said, 1T
seems to me that whether I'm a
Democrat should be left to my
own conscience.
He said he would pledge to
support the winner of the Demo-
cratic primary for Congress if
he is allowed to enter the race.
"COming Home"
II went along and attended the
wake of the Republican Party for
80 years, like a fool" he said.
II don't feel bound to any prin-
cipleS of the Republican Party,
if they've got any principles, any
more. feel that I might just
as well come home and be a
Democrat"
Mr.. Green said he had never
seen a copy of the Democratic
Party plan which, among other
things, requires candidates to
support all Of the nominees of
that party in the general elec-
tion.
Mr.. Fenwick, through Attorney
Armistead L. Boothe, argued Mr..
Green failed to comply with the
law in four particulars:
/. He failed to state he was
member of the Democratic
Party in his declaration.
2. He failed to say he sup
ported all of the nominees in the
previous election.
8. He failed to pledge support
to all nominees in the next elec-
ton.
4. He failed to state that he
believed in the principles of the
party when he filed his declara-
ton.
Judge Bryan said he would rule
on the issues just as soon as his
other business permits and the
urgency of the decision requires.
