Daley at the party’s National Committee meeting. From left are Gov. Averell Harriman of New York, Adlai Stevenson, a definite candi date, and Senator Estes Kefauver of Ten nessee.—AP Wirephoto. KEFAUVER Continued From First Page with a smile, “I didn’t have any in 1952.” He was runnerup that year to Mr. Stevenson lor the presidential nomination. Promises of Support He said. too. that he had prom-, lses of more financial support than he received in his fight for the nomination in 1952. At that time he had about 5200.- 000. which he admitted, was not nearly enough. Nor will Senator Kafauver be backward about entering presi dential-preference primaries. He seemed quite willing to take , front-running Mr. Stevenson on; in Minnesota, the one primary State which Mr. Stevenson has announced he will enter. In answer to questions, he said he was interested, too, in going into the Ohio primary, where he did very well—against the State Democratic organization in 1952. As for New Hampshire.j where he defeated former Presl-, dent Truman, Senator Kefauver said, with a broad grin: “New Hampshire is one of my very favorite State*.” First State to Vote It was the first State to hold; » presidential primary in 1952,: and Senator Kefauver’* victory there gave him a great boost, Next year, New Hampshire’s pri mary also comes first, in March. Xr. Kefauver added that Wis nsin and California also were “favorite States” with him# Hfjj won the 1952 primaries in both ] of them, too. California Demo- leaders have asked Mr. 1 venson to enter their State. Senator Kefauver admitted he 1 had talked with Michael DiSalle 1 of Ohio, one-time OPA adminis trator, with a view to having him t«fc» an important place in Sen ator Kefauver’* pre-convention campaign—if he runs.

There has been speculation that the Demo cratic ticket may turn out to be Stevenson and Kefauver next ' year. “Would a firm offer make a 1 difference,” a reporter asked. • You talk like a businessman,”; 1 ;Mr. Kefauver responded, amid laughter.

Truman Sees ; A Big Victory : By "The Associated Prats I CHICAGO, Nov. 19—Former •President Truman visited around; today at the Democratic Party J rally, giving short, homey pep talks predicting an "overwhelm ing” election victory for the party next year.

Egypt Awaiting U. N. Reply on Plan CAIRO, Egypt, Nov. 19 (JP).— Egyptian officials said today they still were awaiting U. N. response to Egyptian counterproposals for easing tension along the Israell- Egyptlan border in the El Aujs area. Officials said they handed their proposals to U. N. Chief Truce Supervisor Gen. Edson L. M. Burns last week when he pre sented the plan—drawn by U. N. Secretary-General Dag Hammar ikjold and himself. The Egyptian counterplan is understood to call for marking all three sides of the El Auja demilitarized triangle and with drawal of Israeli police as well as regular army troops from the area. The Egyptians frequently have: charged the Israelis kept troops •disguised as police in the area where Jewish immigrants have settled. Israel announced yesterday its! acceptance of the U. N. plan. . Pre-Draft Risks |To Be Ruled Out By the Associated Press I A new military policy alms at weeding out security risks before they are drafted into the Army, thus sparing them the stigma of a less than honorable discharge. 1 The new directive from Secre tary of Defense Wilson came yes terday in the midst of a sharply critical Senate investigation of the Army security program for uniformed personnel. Senator Hennings. Democrat of Missouri, said the inquiry by his Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional rights “probably had something to do” with the new procedure. j Though Senator Hennings said the directive might not go quite far enough, he. hailed it as a move to "restore constitutional rights to large numbers who un- j der present regulations would receive security risk discharges.”! Wilson Bid to Testify ; Mr. Wilson has been invited ;to testify before the subcom mittee Monday. The new directive orders the armed services to make security investigations of draftees before, their induction. Instead of after ward as at present. It directs that a man shall be taken Into iservlce unless this would be: ■clearly inconsistent with national •security. Such a draftee would have the right to an honorable discharge if his conduct in two years of active duty merits one. Anyone rejected on the basis of a pre-induction investigation would, as Senator Hennings phrased it, “be released to • civilian life without any mark or stigma indicating the basis on which he was found unsuit-' able.” The old rule required that, servicemen judged security risks be given a “general discharge under honorable conditions” or some other less than honorable discharge at the end of their service. Sees Violation of Rights “The Defense Department," Senator Hennings said, "never explained by what authority they inducted an man and then blackened his reputation for ac tivities and associations prior to service.” The new directive doe* provide that where derogatory informa tion Is developed after induction concerning a man’s prior ac tivities and associations, he still may be given controlled military duties and receive a security risk discharge. Senator Hennings said “this seems to me to be a violation of; his constitutional rights—for it ! destroys his reputation and ln-j terferes with his livelihood with out due process of law.” The subcommittee yesterday! heard witnesses critical of the old method, among them former soldiers who received less than honorable discharges.

NEWLYWEDS WIN 2d HONEYMOON— ANDTHAT AIN'T ALL A young, newly married i, District couple, who just two short weeks ago returned from a week-long nuptial trip to New York City, are now in Holy wood, Calif., enjoying a • second honeymoon. !i Mr. and Mrs. Alexander But- ji chart, of 2835 Minnesota ave- < nue S.E., are the lucky winners iff a four-day all-expenses- !] paid trip to the movie capital sponsored by MGM and “Guys i and Dolls.” And they took along i a S2OO check to spend on their i trip.

'I D. C. Transit Situation 'ls a Mess/ Carr Says Washington’s transit problem remained today In what Presi dent Edward R. Carr of the Board of Trade described as “a mess.” The statement was made at a Board of Trade membership luncheon yesterday In the Mayflower Hotel. • The meeting heard the Public Utilities Commission an- nouncement that no group has l yet placed before the commis sion an acceptable plan to take over the transit operations in Washington when the Capital Transit Co.’s franchise expires next August 14. The Com missioners said prospects “bid fair” that one of the present applicants will make the grade. Despite his vigorous phrase. Mr. Carr said he is optimistic that a “solid and acceptable proposal will be developed.” He said Board of Trade lead ers have been discussing their proposals with at least three of the groups that have submitted plans. He added that there are other groups considering mak ing proposals to the utilities commission. It was reported there are two such groups. The Board of Trade position, as outlined by Mr. Carr is this: First, it favors, and believes feasible, continued operation of the transit facility as a private enterprise. But, if no acceptable proposal is adopted, then obviously there, will have to be Government op eration. In this event, the board favors a transit authority fi nanced by revenue bonds and op erated as nearly as possible as a private business. Wolfson Influences Talk * i The board members discussed and voted down a proposal that Congress be told it would be in the best Interest of Washington iif the cancellation of the Capital •Transit Co. franchise was re scinded. Louis E. Wolfson, Florida fin ancier who Is board chairman of Capital Transit, was not present in the flesh. But. like Banquo’s ghost, he had a major role in the meeting. Donald A. McCormack, chair man of the board's committee on transit lines, warned that , approval of such a motion favor ing rescinding the franchise can cellation would serve to drive] away those who have proposed supplying the transit service. “Then.” he added, “we would have to deal with Mr. Wolfson. a high-priced individual when It comes to selling his assets.” Mr. Carr suggested that before such a move is adopted, there • should be some Indication Capital Transit “wants to come iback into the picture,” and it should be ascertained whether Mr. Wolfson Is Interested In • coming back here. He feared adoption of the motion would "muddy up the water.” Later he asserted that the sit uation Is “a hell of a mess.” Attorney Emmet Sheehan, who made the motion to ask Congress to rescind the franchise ! cancellation, said the act of ; Congress was inspired by a feud ’between one of the utilities com i mission members and Mr. Wolfson. Learn-and-Earn Ratio Cited by Dr. Brownell By J. A. O’LEARY The importance of education in reducing the number of low : income families was emphasized by a group of educators, includ , ing United States Commissioner of Education Samuel H. Brownell, before a congressional subcommittee today. Dr. Brownell cited these 1950 census figures to show the relationship between education and income; '• Average annual income of those with no schooling. 91.- 1 108; those with eight years of ; grade school, 52.533. and those i with four years of college. 54.407. i While the number of students,] , finishing high school has ln-h . creased greatly in the last 30 i , years. Dr. Brownell said large ' numbers are still failing to take u full advantage of school oppor tunities. ! i Dr. Campbell threw no light : on the Federal aid to education;] program the administration may,] recommend to Congress in Jan- ; uaf y- Thc Secretary of Health, < Annandale Fetes French Student | “Bon Jour" was the official | greeting at Annandale High i yesterday as the students;; played host to a student from i Lyon, France. 1 The visitor, 21-year-old Gene- < vleve Joaton, an exchange stu dent from Kevolergarbeu College, t is now studying in this country. - She was invited to the school f by Mrs. Frances Milton, French 1 : teacher, Joan Plland served as , chairman of the welcoming com- < /mittee.

But Miss Jean Wallop of Big; Horn expressed hope today, "There wouldn't be a lot of j publicity" about the announce-’ ment that she will marry Lord 1 Porchester, 31, a socialite who has been a frequent escort of : Princess Margaret. “We agreed there would be the announcement, and nothing else." said Miss Wallop, reached | at the Northern Wyoming home of her father, Oliver Wallop. i The father, who married Jean Moore of New York in 1926. isji 1 the brother of the Earl of Ports mouth. Jean’s mother died In 'j Robert M. Weston, commission member who had been assailed jby Mr. Wolfson, denied there had been any animus against Mr. Wolfson. He said the Wolf son company had been given the highest fare in the country, with the exception of Chicago. He said the commission had , made attempts to “appease” Mr Wolfson and cited the “memo randum of understanding” be tween the commission and the company of more than a year • ago. But. he said, Mr. Wolfson ’ would not be appeased. I E. Cleveland Giddings, Capi • tal Transit vice president, on the question of whether Capital i Transit would want to continue I in business, said. "When you’re kicked out of jail, you don’t want to come In again.” He defended Mr. Wolfson. He • said people forget that the com pany has a board of directors which formulates policy and in cludes a number of respected [ Washington citizens. Decisions ? were reached by that group, he isaid. 1 The question had been raised whether the company might continue its Maryland operations. • Mr. Giddings said there has been no need for the company to make up its mind on that ques • tion immediately. He added that everything “will come out nice! j and smoothly for Capital Transit in August.” It is not regarded as likely that the company will maintain its Maryland bus lines. Hayes Reads Statement Chairman George E. C. Hayes of the utilities commission read • the commission's statement on 1 the postponement of selection! of a group to operate the transit service. “It is no# perfectly apparent.” ( he said, “that the requests of some of the applicants for addi ! tional time, and the time neces : sary for a proper appraisal of 1 the data before us, leave no al ternative but the carrying for- I ward of the date of decision. “The desirability of having ' this a venture qf private enter prise is recognized by this com ' mission and. because of what ‘ we conceive of our obligation in • this regard, we are making strict original requirements of all ap plicants and the working out of ' details Is, of necessity, time con suming." t] He said all procedural details; I should be Ironed out by the time Congress reconvenes. He pointed out that legislation must be recommended to Congress and that the successful applicant : must have time to acquire buses. He added that it is fair to ’ indicate that “details are being I worked out which bid fair to result in the awarding of a per mit to one of the applicants, presently under consideration.’’ Education and Welfare, Marian B. Folsom, testified yesterday that revisions are being consid ered in previous administration recommendations on both aid to • schools and health Insurance. Others who presented reports, ,to the subcommittee todsy on ‘the low-income problem were: ] ! J. L. McCaskill. of the National Education Association; H.

Navy Plea Seen Soon For Nine More A-Subs By the Aaaoclated Press A prediction the Navy soon will ask Congress to authorize con struction of nine more atomic-, powered submarines cajne today! from Senator Jackson, Democrat of Washington. Two such underwater craft—• the Nautilus and the Sea Wolf —have been built. Two others are under construction and four more have been authorized. Senator Jackson, chairman of the Sencte-House Atomic Energy Subcommittee on Military Appll-i cations, said in an interview his forecast was based on something he had learned, plus the “im pressive showing” of the Nautilus. He did not go into detail on what he had learned. 1943. Mr. Oliver married Mrs. Alberto J. Hines in 1944.

Quarles Admits Concern Over Radar Jamming By JOHN V. HORNER Air Force Secretary Quarles indicated yesterday that the ! United States is concerned over the possibility that enemy jam . ming devices could limit the usefulness of the radar defense screen. He said, however, that radar is by no means obsolete and j hinted that steps already are being taken to offset the jamming. In a question-and-answer period after an address to the ! National Press Club, Mr. Quarles • conceded that radar is subject to ! countermeasures. This followed disclosure yesterday that a sur prise attack by atomic bombers ! in “Operation Sagebrush” re pealed serious limitations to the Nation’s radar warning system. In that exercise, new "enemy” jamming devices rendered pow erless most of the defending ra- J'fdar instruments so they were , unable to detect the air raiders ; until too late. ,!• “This is a continuing game— j countermeasures and counter countermeasures.” the Secretary saj,d. “We must be alert but it I would be a tremenrous mistake] 'to assure that radar is on the way out. Very much to the con trary Is true.” ’ The Secretary also said he saw merit in the proposal of Atomic Energy Commissioner Thomas E. Murray for a meeting “at the atomic summit” in the Pa cific. where world leaders could Civic Groups Re-elect Leader i j The District Federation of 1 : Civic Associations re - elected i George O.

The proposal, he said, is along • the line of getting all nations, as well as the United States, to un derstand better the atomic and thermonuclear weapons. In his prepared address, which reportedly was revised at the last minute at the insistence of the State Department, Mr. Quarles restated the administration view that the world may have reached a deadlock in which atomic weapons impose a peace more reliable than the peace it has sought to achieve heretofore. “As long as both sides have these terrible weapons and the; means of delivering them.” he, said, “there is no way for one side to initiate total war without! disaster to itself. “No matter which side decided to start total war. destruction would be so tremendous and so general that no one could dream of victory.” Broadcasting Tape Given to Library The National Broadcasting Co. yesterday presented the Library of Congress with a tape of one complete week of broadcasting as heard in the District area over_ Radio Station WRC. The tape includes all broad- • casts between October 31 and November 7.

A department spokesman said last night the request was con tained in a letter to Senator McClellan, Democrat of Arkan sas, chairman of the subcommit tee, from Warren Olney HL chief of the department’s crim inal division. The spokesman quoted the latter as telling the subcom mittee “If it had any evidence of anything in violation of Fed eral law” the department wants it “for consideration.” Cross Calls It ‘lndiscretion’ After Mr. Cross had been questioned by the subcommittee at a closed-door hearing Tues day, Informed sources told re porters that Mr. Cross had testi fied his talks with two railroad heads about a disputed contract for bus service between Chicago railway terminals amounted to “an Indiscretion.” Although Mr. Cross was re ported to have given the Whit# House a report on the inquiry.

Industry Dispersion Plan Jettisoned By th* A*socuted Presg The Pentagon has decided it would be impractical to insist on maximum dispersal of defense plants. Long discussed as a possible* national policy, dispersal on a hard-and-fast basis was rejected yesterday in a Defense Depart ment, directive The department said the ob jective should be to "avoid th# tendency toward over-concentra jtion” of Critical defense facil , ities in target areas. But it also noted such “obstacles to maxi mum dispersal” as cost, social dislocation in industrial areas and possible delay in vital pro duction. Dispersal will be a “prime con sideration” in selecting sites for new defense plants, the directive said but it recommended that existing industries be permitted to add to present plants when additions are relatively minor. ii |t Aunt Lucy I; HICKORY SMOKED HAMS 1 YEAR OLD SMOKED TURKEYS, BACON AND SAUSAGE Attractively Wrapped lor Christmas Mailed to Your Friends or Customers Write for Circular and Price Utt, or better still, drive up to see us.
