Observers See Close Race For Kennedy Representative and Two Primary Foes Waging Clean Fight By JAMES E. CHINN 8tar Staff Correspondent BALTIMORE, Md., May 4--Care- ful observers of the political acene in Maryland’s 4th congressional district today predicted a photo finish in the race between Repre- sentative Kennedy and his two op- ponents in the fast approaching Democratic primary election. Mr. Kennedy had a similar strug- gle two years ago in the primary and barely succeeded in saving his political life in the subsequent gen- eral election in November. Only by 200 votes did he lead Daniel Ellison, & Baltimore City councilman, who again is seeking Mr. Kennedy's House seat. In this campaign, however, Mr, Kennedy is more concerned over the potential strength of his opposi- tion. He knows if he defeats his opponents in the primary election Monday he must continue to fight harder than ever to retain his membership in the House, especially if Mr. Ellison is nominated by the Republicans. - Expresses Confidence Despite this situation, Mr. Ken- nedy is confident of victory, not only in the primary but in the general election, too. “I am perfectly satis- fied that I will win,” he said. The two men Representative Ken- nedy is trying to fight off in the primary are prominent Baltimore lawyers. One is Stewart Brown; the other, John A. Meyer. ‘The campaign in the fourth dis- trict so far has been what politicans describe as “clean.” There is, however, a whispering campaign that threatens Mr. Ken- nedy. His two rivals in primary fight have not made the charge, but the people who go to political rallies in Baltimore say quietly to strangers: “He’s high hat.” ‘Those members of Congress and newspapermen in Washington who know Mr. Kennedy rather in- timately would never believe such a charge. But in Baltimore the situ- ation is different, particularly dur- ing the heat of a primary election fight. Mr. Kennedy has an unlisted telephone at his home and his op- ponents have circulated the story he didn’t want the phone listed so his constitutents would not be in a position to disturb the peace and tranquillity of his domestic life. Some people really believe that story and this means the possible loss of some badly needed votes. These critics overlook the fact he has an office at 26 South Calvert street, and his telephone number there appears in the latest edition of the Baltimore telephone directory. Spending Votes Attacked ‘The issues in the battle between Mr. Kennedy and -his two oppon- ents are not of the type that make newspaper headlines. principal rival—Mr. Brown, 34 years old, who has degrees from Harvard and Johns Hopkins Universities—is attacking him on the ground he supported President Roosevelt in an extrava- gant spending program. Mr. Kennedy, on the other hand, is campaigning strictly on his long record of political service. Occasion- ally he mentions the fact he is chair- man of the busiest committee of the House—the Claims Committee, which handles legislation to pay those persons who have a just bill against the Federal Government for dam- ages. Once in awhile he calls atten- tion to his positioa on the House District Committee, where he is the ranking majority member, but he never speaks of his efforts of the last two years to reorganize the District government in the interest of effici- ency and economy. The people in his own congressiona! district ap- parently are not interested in what he does for those who live in Wash- ington, but he is elated, privately, over the fact that a reorganization plan that now slightly resembles the one he originally proposed is finally in the form of legislation, and is to be considered by the House May 13. 2,000 Kifes Expected To Fly in Contest Today About 2,000 kites are expected to fly over Washington today in the annual kite contest sponsored by the Community Center and Play- grounds Department.

Kayser to Give Talk At Vacation Lodge EDUCATORS DINE—Shown at the banquet of the American Council EVENING ' STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., ,SATURD r (75,000 See on Education at the May- flower Hotel last night are Isaiah.Bowman, president of Johns Hopkins; Ernest O. Melby, toast- master, and Mark A. May, director of the Institute of Human Relations at Yale. Four Hurt in Traffic Nearby; Victims Include D. C. Waman Dr. Bowman Asserts, World Is Not Yet . Ready for Peace Tells Educator Conclave U. S. May Supply Rational Solution As Arbiter ‘The world is not ready for peace, has not thought out the approach to peace and does not know what it wants of peace. These assertions were made last Right by Dr. Isaiah Bowman, presi- dent of Johns Hopkins University of Baltimore, who said he would not halt the war today if he had the power simply by gesturing a wand. Dr. Bowman said he thought many of the problems over which the European war is being fought are insoluble. How can you solve by a peace treaty hastily drawn up in two or three months problems which have existed for 2,000 years without solution? he asked. More than 300 leading American educators listencd intently to Dr. Bowman’s arresting address at a banquet at the Mayflower Hotel. They were delegates to the 23rd annual meeting of the American Council on Education. Sees Chaos in Demobilization. The speaker said he would not stop the war if he had the power because of the disorganization and Miss Nolan Seriously Injured; Driver Faces Charges Four persons were injured, one critically, in automobile accidents in Prince Georges County, Md., yester- day and today. Most seriously injured is. Miss Jane Nolan, 21, of 535 Quincy street N.W., who received a fractured skull this-morning after the car in which she Was riding left the Landover road near the Pennsylvania Rail- road crossing, turned over and finally landed right side up in the front yard of Mallan Rea. Miss Nolan was taken to Casualty Hos- pital. John J. Hurley, jr, of the 1200 block of Lawrence street N.E., listed by Prince Georges County police as the driver of the car, was arrested on charges of reckless driving and released after posting $100 bond. Two Men Injured. Two other persons also were in Casualty Hospital following an ac- cident at Havenner’s Corner at Sil- ver Hill, Md. They are John Krance, 26, of 574 Newcomb street SE. and Walter G. Bushman, 25, of Silver chaos that would follow in the wake | Hill. of sending the 20,000,000 men now under arms back to earn a living where 50,000,000 persons are now engaged in making armaments. Dr. Bowman asserted that if Ger- many wins the war this will be a “wholly irrational” world; if the allies win, do not imagine this will be a “wholly rational” world, but if a stalmate occurs and the United States is called in as an arbitrator this “may be a rational” world. In speaking of a coming peace, he declared: “Men are not big enough to make peace; neither are governments. It takes collective thought of the peo- ple. The multiplicity of voices, how- ever infinitesimal, of the people— by exchange of thought among themselves, by process of debate— must be the guiding factor in the making of peace.” Gives Bases for Peace. Dr. Bowman had two propositions to put forward as bases for peace. These were: 1. No one shall goJ hungry; 2. The more armaments we have the poorer we are. He em- phasized at the outset in discussing the latter point that he wanted a strong Army and Navy for this country, but, that “every million dollars we spend on armaments we spend on insanity.” ‘The speaker pointed out to the educators that they were in the business of developing processes of thought and that as leaders they should put forward propositions of their own for discussion. The speaker emphasized strongly that discussion among groups, clubs, or- ganizations of every kind was neces- sary to make the voice of the people heard. Only from this voice can the clues to a peace be found, he said. Dr. Bowman significantly posed these questions: Was there wisdom in 1918? Will there be on the day the new conference meets? He said it rested with the people. Dr. Mark May Speaks. Dr. Mark A. May, director, Insti- tute of Human Relations at Yale University and chairman of the Council on Education, spoke on “The Education of a Democrat.” Dr. May said he believed that education is our most effective na- tional defense against the “forces that are sweeping the world toward Fascism,” which, ' he added, are bound to be felt in the United States. He pointed out that the charges that educational opportunities in America are not distributed accord- ing to the democratic ideal and that Members of the Senior High Girl | direct Reserves, who are spending the week end at Vacation Lodge, the Y.

A. summer residence near Cherry- dale, Va., were to hear a talk on the international situation this afternoon by Dean Elmer Louls Kayser of George Washington Uni- versity Homecoming for Girl Reserve graduates will be held tomorrow at 4 pm.

Hospital attaches reported Mr. Krance was treated for concussion and cuts on the right eye and chin, and Mr. Bushman for cuts on the chin, knees and forehead. Both men are in fair condition, the hospital said, According to Prince Georges County police, Miss Nolan was found about 50 feet away from the Hurley car, police said. She was taken to the hospital by the Bladensburg Rescue Squad. Meanwhile 9-year-old Patsy Cog- gon, Riverdale Elementary School student, was reported in good con- dition at Providence Hospital, where she was taken yesterday afternoon after being struck by an automobile which ran 30 feet onto the school gl:eyxrwnd. according to county po- Dr. Martin Keane of Riverdale said the girl was shaken up and bruised, Hit-Run Charges Made. Police said the car was driven by James Miller, 18, of East Riverdale, who was charged with hit-and-run driving, failure to have a permit and with reckless driving. Miller told police he did not know his car had struck any one. According to the school principal, Mrs. Mildred McCall, the accident occurred while Patsy was playing with two other girls. The car, she sald, was turning around on Madi- son street which comes to a dead end at the school grounds and cir- cled on the playground, narrowly missing another girl. The car was traced through two 11-year-old boys, Nolan Ray and Bobble Williams, both of East Riverdale, who noted the license number, police said.

Roosevelt Vetoes Bill To Speed Refiring of High Navy Officers ‘Uncertain Status Of International Relations’ Cited Citing the “extremely difficult and uncertain status of international re- lations,” President Roosevelt yester- day vetoed legislation which would speed up the retirement of rear admirals and general officers of the Navy. By terms of the measure there would be an increase from eight to nine in the number of mandatory retirements annually in the grade of rear admiral. While declaring himself in full approval of the theory of creating a quicker flow of promotions for younger men, Mr Roosevelt said he hesitated to ap- prove mandatory legislation at this time. Pointing out that under existing authority as commander in chief of the Navy, he could effect the same purpose as the legislation intends, the President in his veto message wrote that it is his plan after con- sultation with the top-ranking officers of the Navy “to exercise this authority by furloughing a sufficient number of our rear admirals whose retirement will immediately cause an annual average of at least nine vacancies in that grade. It is en- tirely possible that I may furlough one or two more.” Likewise contained in the vetoed measure was a provision compelling the retention on the active list until June 30, 1944, of certain Navy flying officers. 'Eight such officers would be immediately affected with perhaps 15 or 20 eventually affected. “This is really not a current issue or problem,” Mr. Roosevelt wrote. “These officers are on active duty now and will be retained on active duty after retirement because their services are needed. * * * Therefore, the objective of the bill can be taken care of without legislation.” Wins Scholarship Jane Ramsdell, who will be from grad- uated in June ta Mr. and Mrs. R.

Parade Ending Apple Fesfival- Ball and Procession Close Winchester’s Two-Day Celebration By & Staf? Correspondent of The Star. WINCHESTER, Va., May 4—A parade of gaily decorated floats that took two hours to pass the review- ing stand and a brilliant formal ball last night ended-the two-day reign of Miss Lillian Somoza, daughter of the President of Nicaragua, over the 17th annual Apple Blossom Festival. ‘The dark-haired young Queen Shenandoah, adorned in her coro- nation gown of white net over visitors and decorated with bunting and paper blogsoms in lieu of the real blossoms which will not appear for several d Authorities esti- mated the of 175,000, Leaden skies failed to dim the en- thusiasm of the throng of visitors, but the temperature in the low 40's forced the queen and her maids of honor to don heavy coats. Bands played happy birthday tunes in honor of the queen’s 18th birthday. The princesses and maids of honor wore dresses of flowered organdie trimmed in apple blossoms, their Ppale leghorn hats tied with ribbons of green moire. Dr. Allen Chief Marshal, Dr. Lewis M. Allen was chiet marshal for the parade. The first musical unit was McIlwee’s Munic- ipal Band of Winchester, followed by Mayor Charles R. Anderson, spe- cial guests in decorated cars and Gen. John J. Pershing’s famous mounts, Jeff and Kidron, from the Remount Depot at, Frant Royal. Marching with the queen’s float was the Alexandria (Va) Amer- ican Legion guard of honor with massed colors and a special drum and bugle corps escort. Two silvery floats carried the princesses. The remainder of the first division con- sisted of veterans’ drum and bugle corps in flashy uniforms. ‘The queen and her court left their floats near Handley High School campus for a reviewing stand, where each unit passed in review. A dozen of the bands were massed im- mediately after the parade and a concert given. Nearly 500 bandsmen participated. Ball Given in Box Plant. The queen’s last official appear- ance was at a brilliant formal ball last night, staged in a huge apple box manufacturing plant decorated with the festival colors, green, pink and white.

Both Sides in European War Called Imperialistic The European war is one between rival imperialisms, not a struggle of moral ideals, the Rev. George A. Ackerly told members of the Moth- er's Day Peace Committee at a meeting last night in PFoundry Methodist Church. He supported conclusions of the recent National Study Conference on the Churches and the Interna- tional Situation, held by leaders of 30 Protestant denominations in Philadelphia, which he said re- Jected American participation in the war on the ground that foreign policy must be rooted in democracy. The Rev. Mr. Ackerly, assistant pastor of Mount Pleasant Congrega- tional' Church, related that during five years as a missionary@in India he discovered that Britain suppresses democratic forces and “out-Hitler- izes Hitler.” He quoted the Philadelphia con- ference as calling for American sponsorship of a “just peace by negotiation” and a world govern- ment afterward.

Victory for Bruce Is Predicted by Gov. 0'Conor Vote in Baltimore Will Be Decisive, Governor Says By WILL P. KENNEDY. Star Staff Correspondent. BALTIMORE, Md., May 4—Gov. O’Conor today declared that How- ard Bruce, Democratic national committeeman, will win the Demo- cratic nomination for United States Senator over Senator Radcliffe Mon- day. The Governor authorized The Star to make this exclusive announce- ment: “Based on personal. surveys in Western Maryland, Southern Mary- land and one part of the Eastern Shore, I predict that National Com- mitteeman Howard Bruce will win the Democratic nomination and the subsequent election as United States Senator. The decisive votes will be cast for him in Baltimore City, which gave me the votes which clinched my election two years ago. He will be an honor to the State of Maryland in the United States Sen- ate, and will prove to be one of the great Senators in American his- tory.” Gov. O’'Conor made this prediction after appearing at a series of 10 ral- lies in all parts of Baltimore last night. At each rally he emphasized the debt that the Democracy of Maryland owes to Mr. Bruce, claim- ing he has shown ynselfish devotion to party interests for more than a quarter of a century. He asked the people of Baltimore, who two years ago gave him an unprecedented ma- Jority, to “give at least an equally decisive vote for Howard Bruce.” Veterans Protest. Bruce supporters claim another indication of the “full tide” that is turning to their candidate can be seen in a decision by the “high com- mand” of his rival, Senator Rad- cliffe, to make an eleventh-hour drive in an effort to prevent Har- ford County, the home county of Senator Tydings and other Radcliffe leaders, from 2 which had been conceded to the Radcliffe forces, the Bruce camp noted with satisfaction that their candidate’s tour there yesterday was to be followed by a visit from Sena- tor Radcliffe today. It also was ob- served that Senator Tydings, one of the chief Radcliffe lieutenants, went to Westminster, in Carroll County, last night. Senator Tydings encountered more trouble from his home county to- day when veterans protested unau- thorized use of their names as sup- porters of Senator Radcliffe in the State primary. This came as a result of the circulation of a letter to veterans asking support for Sen- ator Radcliffe, which was signed by Richard C. O’Connell, general chair- man of the “Veterans for Radcliffe” organization. Gov. O’Conor, Mr. Bruce and Representatives D’Alesandro and Kennedy made a tour of 10 rallies in Baltimore last night. Mr. Bruce dis- cussed subversive groups, inferna- tional affairs, the unemployment question and other issues. . Mr. Bruce devoted today to prep- aration of what he intends will be the most important speech of his campaign, summarizing what he stands for. The speech will be de- livered over a State-wide radio hookup. Japanese Beetle Traps Will Be Yellow This Year BY the Associated Press.

Alienated by Appointments. Gov. O'Connor and Mr. Bruce, & principal adviser of the State ad- ministration, antagonized the recog- nized leaders in Carroll soon after the former took office in 1939 by - awarding local patronage to little known party fig county set what is believed by some observers to be a precedent by in- dorsing a candidate in a party pri- mary, pledging its support to Sera-~ tor Radcliffe. In addition to Senator Radcliffe’s tour of last-minute rallies in Balti- more tonight, two of his aides will broadcast talks to Maryland vet- erans in a program from Station WBAL beginning at 7:30 o'clock. The first speaker is to be Bruce T. Blair, attorney, who is a past commander of the Maryland depart- ment, American Legion. He will be followed by Richard C. O'Connell, president of the Baltimore City Council, another past commander of the Maryland department of the Legion, national commander ot the 29th Division Association and four- time State commander of the Vet~ erans of Foreign Wars. Tydings to Speak at Crisfield. Senator Tydings, another big gun in the array of Radcliffe oratorical artillery, is to be at Crisfield for & last salvo on the Eastern Shore, addressing a rally in that city. Last night Senator Radcliffe, in one of more than a dozen campaign talks before community meetings in Baltimore, marched into a strong- hold of Willlam Curran, whose city machine is backing Mr. Bruce, and drew an impressive ovation from a large audience gathered for an Easte ern Democratic Club rally. A street parade in which many marchers figured preceded the rally. In a broadcast last night State Controller J. Millard Tawes told his audience that Senator Radcliffe has been “very roughly badgered by his opponents in this campaign” but that no case has been proved against the incumbent.
