Questions and Answers

Q-I am training unar the Korean
GI Bill and l already changed
my course once. If l were to
go back to my original course,
would that be considered a
second change of course?
Att would be considered a sec
ond change and, under the law,
would not be permitted. The
Korean CT Bill allows no more
than one change of course.

Q-My son qualities for schooling

cation program. He now has an
Atomic Energy Commission
scholarship to study physics.
Could he receive the War Orph-
ans allowances while studying
under the scholarship?
A-No. If a student has any sort
of scholarship paid for by the
United Sfates-such as AN ACC
scholarship - he would not
qualify for allowances under
the War Orphans program. This
would constitute a duplication
of benefits paid from the Fed
eral Treasury. and the law pro-
hibits such duplication.

Detective Smith, spying a pair
of empty shoes under the bed,
decided to take a look around.
He found Hammond in his

Rambler
A City's q Thing
Of Many Sounds
By JACK JONAS

Stop and listen to the sounds
of the city.
1t may seem like a quiet
place at times. But listen.
An airliner. its big motors
throbbing, takes off from Ma
tional Airport and rumbles
overhead. A car door slams
a bang and click together.
Buses arrive with a hiss of
air brakes and take off with a
Notwithstanding groan. A
streetcar creaks and clangs its
way around a corner.
Tires of a passing taxi
whine over the asphalt. A
truck rattles loose barrels
against one another as it jolts
along the street. Auto horns
honk pedestrians out of the
way.
A bicycle bell jangles. Tires
scream down a ramp at a
parking garage or crunch over
streetcar tracks. A siren walls
dist thy. A policeman's
whistle shrills in an effort to
sort the other sounds into a
pattern.

men who died in the Nations

today as the Naval Academy took
time out from its June Week fun.
While the day was a holiday

At just about the same time,
an even more solemn tribute

the Democratic senatorial nomi-
nation to Mr.. Tydings on May
by a mere $500 votes.
Despite his loss of the nomina
ton. Mr.. Mahoney took firm
control of the State Conven-
ton. He and his supporters put
in their own slate of National
Convention delegates, pointedly
ignoring the so-called "Old
Guard" which has led the party
for the past generation and op-
posed Mr.. Mahoney's four at
Itempts to win high Office.
The Mahoneyites also ousted
Mayor D'Alesandro as National
Committeeman in favor of Mr.
IMahoney'S primary campaign
manager, Michael j. Birming-
ham of Baltimore County.
Wants Full Time Organization
Mr.. Mahoney was able to con-
troll the convention because he
had more city and county DEM
Iocratic organizations behind him
in the primary than Mr.. Tydings
Mr.. Tydings. for example. car
Iried the counties of Caroline,
Frederick, Queen Anne's and
Talbot and the 5th legislative
district of Baltimore City, but
the dominant organizations in
those jurisdictions were for Mr.
IMahoney and they elected con-
vention delegates in the primary
favorable to him.
The unit votes of those five
jurisdictions were enough to give
the Mahoneyites an 86-to-5S
victory on the key vote Monday,
In the primary itself. Mr.. Ma
honey and Mr.. Tydings each got
rs unit votes, with Mr.. Tydings
being declared the victor on the
basis of his small popular-vote
margin.
Mr.. Mahoney told The Star
that he and his people intend
Ito build a good, sound, business
like organization in the Demo
cratic party"
I'VE intend to get moving i'm
mediately on opening a new per-
manent party headquarters with
a full-time staff" Mr.. Mahoney
added.
We've been asleep in this
state. The central committees
and leadership in other Demo-
cratic states work all veal
around, not just before elec-
tions."
Silent on Presidency
Since Mr.. Mahoney will con-
troll the Maryland delegates to
the National Democratic Con-
lvention which opens in Chicago
August 10, it suddenly becomes
important to know whom he ia
vors for the presidential nomi-
nation.
| But if he has a personal ia
vorite. he isn't talking.
After pointing out that Mary
lands delegates must support
Senator Kefauver "as long as he
has a fighting chance" Mr.. Ma
| honey said he feels that both
Senator Kefauver and Adlai Ste
venson ARE fine men,"
Asked how he felt about some
of the dark horses. such as Sen
ator Symington of Missouri, who
has been given a few gestures OF
support by Mayor D'Alesandro,
Mr.. Mahoney declared:
Things change so rapidly al
those conventions. I wouldn't
want to say anything about any
of the presidential candidates al
this time"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-30

Most observers feel that Mr.
Mahoney's strategy at Chicago
will be to determine the winner
as quickly as possible and Their
stick with him to the victorious
end.
Must Support Kefauver
Maryland's SO delegates, with
their half-a-vote apiece, must
support Senator Kefauver as
long as he has a reasonable
chance because he won the
States preferential primary by a
I2-to-1 margin over an "unin-
Istructed delegation"
There was a difference, oil
opinion today among political
observers as to whether Mr.
Mahoney's convention victory
will prove a help in November
to the Republicans in general
and to reelection seeking Sen
ator John Marshall Butler in
particular.
Most, however, seemed to
agree with the view of one men,
Der of the so-called "Old Guard
He said Mr.. Mahoney's conven-
ton victory "has tied the Ma
honey people to Tydings because
lit has made them responsible for
his election"
Tydings supporters will con-
Itinue to work for their man
despite the trouncing they took
Iat the convention, this veteran
Democratic leader argues, where
as. "if it had turned out the
other way, we all know what
most Of those Mahoney people
would have done"
This fits in with a statement
made by William B. Mahoney
George Mahoney's trusted pub.
lie relations aide. that the
Mahoney group will now be out
to show the former Leadership
how to win general elections.
Some Counties Bitter
On the other hand. much bit.
ternesS was aroused by TIT
steam-roller tactics which thu
Mahoneyites used in the conven.
ton. The fact that Prince
Georges. Montgomery, Calvert
and seven other counties were
ignored in the selection of the
So convention delegates will moi
sit well with some.
Its one thing to throw fell
lows like Sasscer and me out the
window" said veteran Mont
gomery leader E. Brooke Lee, re-
ferring to his Prince Georges
counterpart. Lansdale G. Sasscer
But it's quite another thing
to ignore the 100000 persons
living in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties" he added.
Why did Mr.. Mahoney go tc
all the trouble he did to seize
party control?
Most observers feel he has his
eye on 1858. when his group will
have a chance to put a man in
the Governors Office and grab
off all the patronage that goes
with it.
Whether the man they put will
be Mr.. Mahoney. is a moot ques-
ition at this point. One of his
top lieutenants. State Controller
j. Willard TaweS, has already ex-
pressed his desire to run for that
Office.
Marylanders also will elect a
United States Senator in 1858
which gives the Mahoneyites
another high Office to covet.
