If the trough moves fast

He increased his lead as count
ing of the ballots resumed this
morning.
Mr.. Chandler built up a 1900
vote lead over Bert T. Combs, AZ
year-old former mountaineer
judge, for the Democratic gu
bernatorial nomination. Their
race was among the hottest IN
Kentucky political history.
Mr.. Chandler. 1858 Cover
nor and 1939-45 United States
Senator, came back home seek
ing the executive post after los
ing the baseball job in 1851.
He ran against powerful party
forces: the regular State organ

year in office; Senator Earle c.
Clements. the acting Senate ma
jority leader; Gov. Lawrence
Wetherby, and Senator Alben
w. Barkley, former Vice PreSi-

the strain of becoming fathers.
Five of these men were disci-
plined at least once each for
infractions of military regula-
tions. Three committed otfenses
serious enough for court-martial
and eight had to be separated
from the service by administra-
tive action.
The study traced the relation
ship between military behavior
and the physical and mental
reactions of the expectant
fathers. In addition to anxiety
and irritability, more than a
score of the men developed real
or imaginary ailments similar to
those their wives were going
through. Headaches, stomach
aches, dizziness, and morning
sickness were quite common.
Develop Big Appetites
Several of the men developed
abnormally large appetites.
Twenty-one showed varying
degrees of mental depression,
Two attempted suicide. The fact
that 18 men requested transfers
while awaiting fatherhood sug-
gested to Capt. Curtis that ex-
pectant fathers are more on
the move than other service
men, even though most of the
airmen studied were living with
their families.
Impulsive behavior character
lied the life histories of nine
men. Ten airmen showed defin-
ite split personality tendencies
and is exhibited open or easily
detected dislike or rejection OF
the idea of becoming fathers.

Union Heads
Won't Call
Meeting
BY HERMAN F. SCHADEN
and HECTOR MCLEAN

Striking transit union officials
today the Executive
Board is mot disposed at this
time" to call a special member
ship meeting to consider new
offer by Capital Transit Co.
However, we will take it up
with the Policy Committee and
feel out other members before
making a final decision" said
President Walter j. Bierwagen.
Mr.. Bierwagen said board
members Ibid not consider this a
firm offer from the company
since it is not in writing"
Won't Urge Acceptance
The union president added
that about 400 strikers, told Of
the proposal in a sectional meet
ing today were not prone to ac-
cept it. Another group will be
sounded out tomorrow, he added.
Mr.. Bierwagen has said he would
explain the proposal to the board
and committee, but would not
recommend it.
At the District Building, Com
missioner Samuel Spencer said
Federal Mediator Gilbert s. Nc
Cutcheon had requested a con-
ference this afternoon after he
had first seen the union.
This was the latest, discourag-
ing summary in the strike against
Capital Transit Co., which began
July ! and is in its seth day.
Dispute Over Proposal
A mediation session yesterday
began on a somewhat hopeful
note and broke up in bitterness
over responsibility for the i'll
fated weekend offer which was
tied to Presidential veto of a
bill to kill Capital Transit.
The company issued a state
ment denying it made such an
offer. It said the story was cir
culated by the union as a trial
balloon" The union retorted
that one of its officials would take
an oath that the company made
the offer.
What action President Eisen-
hover expects to take on the bill
which ends Capital Transit's life
in, a years time still remained
unsettled. The President has un-
til August Is to sign the bill. At
that time it will be automatically
vetoed.
Mr.. Spencer said today the
Commissioners had sent their
recommendation on the bill to
the President, but refused to say
what it was or when it was dis
patched.
The Commissioners and aides
discussed the strike among
themselves and with Public Utili-
ties Commission members who
wished to be informed before
resuming a hearing on a Capital
Transit rate increase case
tomorrow.
The union has said it would
sign no agreements which would
require a presidential veto to
validate. Yesterdays new COM
pany offer, considerably less
tempting than that worked out
Friday. had no strings attached.
These were the terms:

The commission is composed

the Korean government an
nounced it had sent a protest
to Army officials against the use
of bayonets and tear gas in sub
DUNG the riot.
The ROK protest was sent by
Kim Chang Heung. chief of the
national police. who charged
that United States soldiers
wounded the Koreans with bay
onets at Pusan Saturday and
used tear gas Sunday in re-
storing order at Pusan and
Kangnung.
Certain acts have occurred.

may have given rise to erroneous
or false reports of bayonetting.
The Army statement quoted ar
unnamed United States Army
officer as saying a uniformed
Korean agitator on a truck
shouted at military police &c

when the MPs refused to use
bayonets, he (the Korean)
pulled out a knife and slashed
his own arms and face"
The Army said that demon
strators at Pusan ripped down
400 feet of barbed wire fence,
receiving wire stratches and
cuts on their hands and faces
which probably accounts for
(other) erroneous and false re-
ports Of bayonetting."

Air Force medical officer reports.
In an article in the current
issue of the Armed Forces
Medical Journal, an official De-
fense Department publication,
Capt. James L. Curtis paid his
respects to the long-held view
that expectant fatherhood seems
to make a good man better and
a bad man worse. He added his
own conclusion that the prac-
tical military consequences OF
approaching parenthood are not
always sufficiently recognized.
Capt. Curtis studied the cases

six were hand-picked for the
