president of the Johns Hopkins University. Mr. Lattimore, target of repeated attacks-by Senator McCarthy Wis.) as a promoter of Communist interests in the shaping of Far Eastern policies, has been on leave from J-fopkins since last December, when he was indicted by a Federal grand jury on seven charges of perjury. Defense motions to quash the indictment now are pending before the United Stales District Court in Washington. Title To Lapse In announcing that the Page School would be discontinued at the end of this academic year, Dr.

Bronk said that, of course, the title of director will lapse. He added, however, that Mr. Lattimore will retain the designation of "lecturer" given him at the time of his first appointment. This title, the university president said, will be subject to the leave of absence granted the Far Eastern expert on December 16. 1952.

"Mr. Lattimore," Dr. Bronk said, "was informed some time ago that (these) changes were contemplated." Denounced By McCarthy An increasingly controversial figure since 1950, Mr. Lattimore has been denounced by Senator McCarthy as a "chief Soviet spy" in the United States, and has been described as a "principal architect" of Far Eastern policies. The perjury charges returned against him by the Washington grand jury were the outgrowth of Mr.

Lattimore's testimony last winter before the Senate Internal Security subcommittee.

Richard E. Branch. 34, escaped from the county jail on January 24. 1944. after he ard Ralph Mackie, both then soldiers at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, were convicted of raping two women hitchhikers they picked up in an automobile.

Branch, a Negro, was supported in his long legal battle by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and eventually appealed to the Supreme Court, according to J. Albert Roney, State's attorney for Cecil county. Captured In New York After his escape. Branch remained at large until April 17, 195(1, when he was apprehended in New York city by Federal authorities on a warrant issued by the United States District Court of Maryland. The warrant charged him with violation of the Fugitive Felon Act in that he, a convicted felon, had fled across state lines.

Mr. Roney said that Branch had been living with his family in the Bronx since his escape. The fugitive was working under an assumed name, the State's attorney added, and his identity was not discovered until Branch applied for money with a loan company. Branch apparently gave a false name when he asked for the loan but the loan company, investigat ing the applicant nacKgrouno. came across the name of Richard E.

Branch. FBI Called In Branch identified this name as his cousin's. Mr. Roney said, but the FBI was brought into the investigation and Branch was identified as 'the Maryland escapee. Federal proceedings to return Branch to Maryland were begnn but the Government's case was dismissed on a motion of the United States District Court attorney on April 25, 1950.

Following that dismissal, according to Mr. Roney, Branch was arrested by the New York State po-(Continued on Page 2i, Column 2) When Baltimoreans have freedom of choice THEY CHOOSE People ho hnild their own House a'e rarfful about the equipment they xrlect.

Bo 8m 01 MEAT 2101 Aif T. Two bridge workers were seriously injured last night when a giant 60-ton steam crane toppled from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad bridge over Jones Falls and crashed to the ground, 45 feet below. Other workers on the span, which is being rebuilt by the American Bridge Company, were able to get out of the way when the huge machine fell. The crane was lifting a steel girder when it toppled, witnesses said. One man at the scene suggested that the "outrigging" might have given way as the crane swung the heavy beam.

Fire spread from the crane's fuel box when it crashed but the boiler held, thus averting more extensive injuries, men at. the scene said.

The bridge under construction is to replace the 58-year-old span running over Jones Falls into Mount Royal Station. The old bridge is being replaced by the new without interrupting railroad traffic.
