FLU FLOUTED!
l,0OO'Sick'
Students
In Stonds
BY HAYNES JOHNSON

An outbreak OF assorted
Asian flu. Ia grippe and head
colds appeared TO have been
mysteriously cleared up just be-
fore the Maryland-North Caro-
lima football game played in
the presence Of Queen Eliza
beth II and Prince Philip,
Before the game, a Maryland
Official said about 10 per cent
of Maryland's 10.000-odd stu
dent body was out sick with
these ailments.
He pointed significantly at
Section 6 through Is where
1920 seats were set aside for
holders Of student and faculty
tickets.
At the kickoff just before
1880 pm. every seat in the
student section was filled with
young people who were cheer
ing every play In suspiciously
healthy fashion.
First at the Game
John Horchler, "a, q Mary
land student. took up q position
at the gates at 9:l5 am. He
was first in line and he had
a long. cold wait. The gates
didn't open until 1880.
John got there early because
he wanted to make sure my
seat was here"
Two Were Lucky
Two youngsters who came to
Byrd Stadium yesterday just
TO catch a glimpse of Queen
Elizabeth II and Prince Philip
got an unexpected treat.
I'VE were standing outside
the stadium" said william F.
Wagner of Adelphi. Md. their
when Mr.. Byrd Harry

is named walked UP and asked
il we'd like TO see the game"
Mr.. Wagner, Susan. 4. and
Billy. 5. got three tickets
right down front-and a good
look at the Queen.
Lunch "Nothing Fancy"
Walter Powell handed a Job
where a slip might have been
extremely embarrassing. He
served lunch TO the Queen,
Philip and other dignitaries at
halftime.
Mr.. Powell. 80, who works in
the Maryland dining hall.
passed around trays with COM
bination sandwiches Of Smith
field nam and turkey. Coffee
and tea were given in a paper
cup with plastic spoons.
Nothing fancy" said Mr..
Powell. except for the nap
kins." They were linen.
Horn Delights Philip
Prince Philip seemed TO en-
Joy most OF the trappings OF
American football games. He
grinned broadly when a horn
from the Maryland side would
boom out across the field.
The horn was operated by
Charles Bowler. superintendent
OF the Activities Building at
the University.
II think" he said. tits an
air horn from a Diesel engine.
But I'm not sure.
Drums and Books
Don Hopkins. a l9-year-old
Maryland sophomore. brought
a large drum.
Hes the best heater In the
fraternity" said a friend. Hes
real good"
Don. a loyal rooter, predicted
victory for the Terrapins.

The mink coat Queen Eliza

one presented to her by an

It was made by a New York

more than $4,000. and was

them formed the royal mono

about $5,275-had increased 40
per cent since 1940.
However, he pointed out that
in urban areas throughout the
Nation the increase was Il
per cent q year earlier.
And the survey gave q
rather dismal picture, city off,
cials admitted, Of the income
status Of a large number Of
Washington individuals and
families.
For example. while it found
that almost l6 per cent Of the
city's families had incomes ex-
ceeding $4,000. it also found
more than 8 per cent had less
than $4,000. And the report
also showed nearly a third Of
the city's unrelated individuals
in the same under-$2, 900
bracket.
Under $4,000 Glass
More than a third Of all the
city's families were found in
the under $4,000 class. Almost
half were under $1,000.
Nearly 80 per cent Of families
with four members were living
on less than $4,000. In 1851
when the cost Of living was q
good deal lower-the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics said a mod
est" budget for an average
family Of four in Washington
was $4.454. The bureau hasn't
made up a similar figure for
1856, a spokesman said.
Mr.. Karrick and Howard
West. statistician for the
Health Department. said the
figures available so far are too
preliminary for proper evalua-
ton. The full survey report
should be public within about
six weeks, they said.

Such a request is probable. The
response is unpredictable.
The new budget proposals
are believed to provide both q

struction projects and a stable
operating increase for some de.
partments.
Rise in School Funds

under study by the Commits
sioners. This is about IS mil
lion more than this year. But
the tentative budget does not
incorporate any of the works
plan as such.
The works package included
proposals for giving the city
borrowing authority and a big.
ger Federal payment. The Com
missioners could press a quick
plea to Congress for these two
moves to head on a financial
crisis next year.
Omits Ideas
But the new budget draft
omits both these ideas. The
budget is tied strictly to antic.

regular authorized $23 million

in revenue. The biggest was

McKeIdin Hits
Use Of Guard
Attacks Foubus'
Coll Of Troops

BALTIMORE, Sept. Z @.-
Gov. McKeldin said today that
mo member Of the Maryland
National Guard viii ever be
asked TO cross his rifle at a
schoolyard gate to bar the
lentrance Of a little girl"
The Governor made the ref
ference to the use of Arkansas
National Guard to prevent
school integration in a speech
prepared for the dedication OF
"a new Maryland National
Guard armory in suburban
Gainesville.
The National Guard, said
Gov. McKeldin, is a military
Organization trained and pre-
pared to cope with major emer-
gencies and disasters within
the State and to join in the
defense Of the Nation in time
of war. He said 1t "bespeaks
the dignity Of our people and
the ancient pride in their local
militia"
Responsibility Stressed
There may be times, Gov.
McKeldin said, when a Gov
ernor-commander-in-chief Of
his States National Guard
may abuse or misuse his power
OF command. deliberately or in
error. to settle a problem which
would, in fact, yield much more
easily to the powers Of calm
reasoning without the show Of
arms"
1T is up to us who are re-
sponsible for the present and
long-range status Of the Guard
to be calm but determined in
the face Of each such incident, +"
he added.
Where one Governor, in a
moment Of misplaced enthusi-
asm or unreasoned alarm, has
assigned the Guard of his
State to a most unsuitable task,
the behavior and thinking Of
the rest Of us calls for a longer
range of attention.
I'VE must, by our words and
actions. continue to show that
the Guard in general is a mill
tary organization Of dignity
and responsibility.
For Real Emergencies
I'VE shall not, Of course. in
ject this great military reserve
outfit into the day-by-day
problems Of law enforcement
with which our police depart
ments are quite capable Of
coping.
I'VE shall not inject the
Guard for show purposes or
other reasons into political
controversies"
He said 1t also has no part
in the. disputes Of management
and labor and should not be
used for strike breaking.
"As Governor, / would not
hesitate to call the National
Guard into action in the face
OF a real emergency-but /
emphasize the word real"
Gov, McKeldin continued.
Surely, a modified Guard
would play a prominent role
in the event OF a national
disaster-a flood. a hurricane
or a confiagration-to assist
the police in the maintenance
Of order"
Gov. McKeldin did not refer
to Gov. Orval Faubus Of
Arkansas by name or to the
Arkansas National Guard as
such, but he left no doubt he
was talking about the Little

This might well mean that
much Of the presently proposed

city aides. would presumably be
getting additional re der a
