More T op-Level Resigaations In Justice Dept. By B, L. LIVINGSTONE WASHINGTON @—A new round of top-level resignations in the Justice Department was reported in prospect today, and the axe is expected to fall too on some U. S. district attorneys outside Washing- ton. At the same time, a relatively unknown attorney—Ross L. Malone @§ Roswell, N. M.—was slated to @ake over the department’s No. 2 spot succeeding A. Devitt Vanech as deputy attorney general. Vianech resigned Monday to seek the Democratic nomination for the unexpired term of the late Sen. Brien McMahon of Connecticut. Impending new changes in the department now headed by James A. McGranery, were forecast by informed sources as amounting to a virtual clean sweep of officials left over from the regime of Atty. Gen. J. Howard McGrath, and be- fore him, Tom Clark. The departure of Vanech left the elghth major vacancy in the department’s top echelon—starting last April 4 with the firing of Mc- dent Truman’s government “house eleaning” campaign. McGrath stepped down after he had first fired Newbold Morris, his special “house cleaner.” Behind much of the shake-up in the Justice Department has been spring by a special House judiciary subcommittee headed by Rep. Frank Chelf (D.-Ky.) and Rep. Kenneth Keating (R.-N.Y.). Chelf and Committee Counsel Stephen A. Mitchell of Chicago were reported backing Malone. for McGranery’s chief deputy. Besides being a frined of Mitch- ell, Malone is a member of the board of governors of the Amert- can Bar Association which ‘has ‘been seeking more voice in the selection of department personnel. The association advocates stricter non-political professional standards for governme»t attorneys. McKellar Defeated In Tenn. Election By A. P. BRYAN NASHVILLE, Tenn. (# — Albert Gore, handsome young Tennessee congressman, wrote finis to the long senatorial career of Kenneth D. McKellar,’ 83-year-old dean of } the U. S. Senate, in nearly com- plete returns from Thursday’s Democratic primary. In another ousting of the “ins,” 32 - year - old Frank G. Clement ended Gov. Gordon Browning's four - year reign as governor. Browning was seeking a third two- year term, VA * The 44 - year - old Gore, who campaigned long and earnestly throughout the state after his Fourth District was eliminated in a 1951 redistricting. act, piled up what seemed certain to be an in- surmountable lead over McKellar during the night-long tabulation of unofficial returns) from Tennessee's Democratic andi Republican pri- maries. Returns from 2,022 of the state's approximately 2,300 precincts gave Gore 210,300 votes, a lead of about 55,000 over MdKellar’s 185,883. But McKellar, remaining in his hotel room at Memphis, refused to concede defeat in his try for an unprecedented seventh term in the Senate. The winner in the Democratic senatorial primary faces Republi- can opposition in the November general election. But that amounts only to token opposition in over- whelmingly Democratic Tennessee. Hobart Atkins of Knoxville ap- parently iS an easy victor in a three man/race for the Republican senatorial / nomination. The Nashville Tennessean, a staunch Browning supporter, con- ceded Cleiment's victory shortly be- fore midnight. Browning himself had no skatement Results of the two major races left the Tennessee political picture somewhat scrambled. Memphis political leader E. H. Crump, on the comeback trail after his gubernatorial and senatorial candidates were defeated four ears ago by Browning and Sen. Estes Kefauver, supported McKel- lar andi Clement. Crump, always a McKellar stal- wart, could not stem the tide egaingt the aging senator. Just what his support of Clement meant was a matter of conjecture. Democratic incumbents won eas. fly im congressional contests. Rep. J. B. Frazier Jr. grabbed a com- manding lead over two opponents fn the Third District. Rep. Joe L. Evins won easily in the Fourth District. Rep. Pat Sutton had a twoto-one lead in the Sixth Dis- | trict (Nashville). So was Rep. Jere | Cooper in the Eighth District Qther Democratic tives were nominated without op- position. Funeral Services For Col. Grove SARASOTA \ — Funeral serv- feces were planned today for Col R.

Navy Men Prompt To Answer Calls Asking For Blood In any service hospital in the country, where the wounded from Korea are being treated, you can hear the same story. “You'd just be lying there,” they say, “waiting; just waiting to die. For a time you had yelled and lis- tened for the medics. Things had | gotten hazy; then dark. Then you had reached the point where you just didn’t care any more, “Then it would happen. You could feel it washing through your body—shaking you back to life. It j broken today was like being born again. And you'd think of the person whose blood it was and you'd think— Thanks, whoever you are, for giv-| ing me back my life.” Having heard the story several times, the officers and men of Sub- marine Squadron 12 have answered the call for blood in the Present drive being conducted on board the, U. S. S. Bushnell, tender ship for the squadron now berthed at the: Naval Station in Key West. Many! of the men, themselves veterans of the Korean conflict, have told the story to others. Wives of these vet- erans have come forward, dona- ing their blood to help save the life of some other service man whose wife or mother waits at home. In the first days of the drive five hundred pints of blood, nearly one hundred more than was need- ed to fill the cases pictured, have been donated. This blood, drawn by the Dade County Mobile Blood Unit pf Miami, is being transported in an ever increasing demand to the Korean front. Oye submarine of the Squadron, the U. S. S. Sennet (SS408) once again proudly flies the 100 percent | pennant, denoting that every man in the crew has willingly donated a Pint of blood to the drive.

The immediate goals: 1. To get feed to hungry livestock on burned out pastures and pre vent premature slaughtering. 2. To get fall planting started The Agriculture Department or dered a survey of excess hay sup plies in the Midwest. It directec chairmen of state agricultural mo bilization committees from Iowa. Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois to look into the possibility of obtaining hay in those states. And the Farmers Home Adminis tration worked out a plan to speed government. loans to hard-pressed farmers in the drought belts. These loans will be used for seed and feed. Farmers looked hopefully to pos- sibly good fall crops to help them recoup some of their drought losses. With New England getting rain for the third straight day, Louis A. Webster, Massachusetts market specialist, said Thursday at Bos- ton: “There is every indication now | that we will have good fall crops.” But meanwhile, the consumer was beginning to feel the effects of the drought. At a meeting of the Georgia Milk Control Board at Atlanta, milk prices were boosted 2 cents a quart to a maximum of 27 cents. One cent of the increase effective Sept. 1 was to cover a normal in- crease in operating costs, but the other was to compensate farmers for drought losses and help them carry herds through the winter. A sharp increase in produce prices has been noted in some places. President Truman Thursday des- ignated Tennessee and Kentucky as drought disaster areas and allo- eated three million dollars of emergency funds for use in those SATURDAY HEAR MR.

These and seven other states— Arkansas, North Carolina, Ala- bama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Massachusetts, Maine and 44 coun- ties in Missouri have been desig- nated as disaster loan areas. States in a disaster area are eligible for government loans. Meanwhile, a major Atlanta de- partment store ran large news- paper ads offering a “farmers’ credit service’ in the serves. The store said be worked out on the basis of individual need. Officials had one kind word for the drought. They said the dry weather probably has saved the 1952 wheat crop from an outbreak | of rust disease that could have lestroged millions of bushels. Showers were reported in the Atlantic states from the Virginias southward and in the Gulf states, the Northern Great Plains and the Eastern Rockies. The weather was mostly fair elsewhere. Except for cooler weather mov ing into Montana and the Dakotas. there was little change in tem peratures around the country. A storm, with winds up to 60 miles an hour, hit La Crosse, Kas., | places.
