Feb. 27 (if)--Gov. McKeldin today vetoed the bill which would require him to charge State Police expenses against the State's general funds. The Governor waited as long as he could before sending the bill back to the Legislature, which completed action on it a week ago today. McKeldin's Republican party leaders in the assembly thought they could hold their lines firm enough to sustain the veto in the Senate.

That chamber voted 16-11 last Wednesday to pass the measure but 18 of the 29 Senate votes are necessary to override a veto. The House is expected to override handily. About two million dollars in general funds are involved. Last year McKeldin persuaded the Legislature to let him take money for the State Police Department out of special funds collected from the various taxes on motor vehicles. This relieved him of the necessity of providing general funds, which might have required a tax increase It diverted from Baltimore and the counties, however, money which they received from the state as their share of roads funds.

Democrats say money ought to go back to the local governments now. Jaycees Baek Hospital Aid Indictment Club Srt For Trial A civil process charging Frederick Lodge No. 371. Loyal Order of Moose with keeping gaming tables and having an interest therein has been served on Edward K. Saltzman.

Chest Drive Went Over Social Service Exchange Has Been Discontinued; No Longer Needed Changing needs in the community's social and welfare agencies have made obsolete the Social Service Exchange and that Community Chest agency has been abolished.

Elimination of the office made possible a downward adjustment of the Chest budget from last fall's campaign goal of $32.000 to $30.500. The drive went over that mark by $360. Announcement of the annual campaign totals and of the change in agencies was made Tuesday evening by the president. Robert L. Smith, at the open membership meeting in the Francis Scott Key Hotel Wedgwood room.

Mr. Smith reported that the Chest and Social Service Exchange directors made careful study of the agency's function in recent years and found that there no longer is the need for cross-reference on applicants for social and welfare aid as there was a decade ago. All agencies which once used the Exchange records in clearing cases have set up newer, improved methods within their own offices. The office which also was used as administrative center for the Chest itself, will be maintained at 22 South Market street. Mr.

Smith said, and a part-time secretary will be employed. During Tuesday evening's meeting six Chest directors at large were elected to serve for two years. They are: Parsons Newman. James H. Gambrill.

He headed the campaign drives for several years, has been secretary, assistant treasurer, and last year was elected president. Announcement also was made of the retirement of William D. Zimmerman, treasurer of the Chest, and appointment of Nevin T. R. Waskey to succeed Him.

27 S. High Commissioner John J. McCloy today predicted "general disaster" unless reviving German nationalism is halted. He accused most of west Germany's political parties and even some cabinet ministers of fostering the revival. It was McCloy's sharpest warning to date against the trend to nationalism.

It came in his quarterly report to the State Department. Commenting on another aspect of the German scene. McCloy east Germany's controlled economy in its fight for industrial self-sufficiency during 1951 may have equalled the 1936 output in that section. In west Germany, he added, industrial production is at a higher rate than in any pre-war year and west Berlin's economic activity has reached its highest level since the end of the war. With his warning against reviving nationalism, McCloy also spotlighted the emergence of neo-Nazi parties which he said intended to "discredit and destroy parliamentary democracy" in west Germany.

Of the German parties he said: "Most of the established political parties have been stocking the merchandise of nationalism. Individuals or circles and, in a few cases, even the controlling elements of an entire state political organization have expressed highly nationalistic sentiments, either out of conviction or as a vote-getting device. "Even some federal ministers have not been above such actions'" He warned: "The use of the extreme nationalist narcotic creates the need for larger doses. Worse, the users must ultimately find that they cannot subsist on talk alone but must resort to some action to avoid decline."

Taft and California's Gov. Earl Warren joined today in a apparent effort to keep the GOP Presidential battle on a more friendly basis.

The Ohio Senator disclosed "friendly" letter exchange with Warren and said he hoped the Republicans could unite in support of whoever is nominated. Both Taft and Warren are avowed candidates for the nomination. Taft told newsmen he had received a "cordial" letter in which Warren explained that his appearance for a speech in Cleveland last night was "non-political." The Ohioan said he would write a friendly reply. Warren was in Cleveland, where he addressed the National Association of Soil Districts convention last night. He told reporters his trip was strictly non-political, but he made a point of praising French Clear Rebels From Large Area Saigon.

a Johns Hopkins University professor and Far Eastern Affairs specialist, had mentioned Clubb a statement to the committee as an example of outstanding men in the State Department who have been "sacrificed to the hysteria that has been whipped up in this country by the China lobby Taft as a "great American."

Plague May Be Spreading In Red Korea Hints Contained In Communist Charges That Allies Are Using Germ Warfare TOKYO.

Feb. 27 reports i that bubonic plague and cholera may be sweeping North Korea. The hints were contained in Communist charges that the Allies are using germ warfare in Korea. For four days Red radios in Peiping and Pyongyang have been repeating and elaborating the story. The persistence and violence of the charges led to speculation in U.

N. Command headquarters today that an epidemic may have broken out in North Korea. Red China's official Peiping radio today linked the bubonic plague with its charges of bacteriological warfare. It recalled "the horror of 1940 when countless in Chekiang province (of China) died of bubonic plague spread by the Japanese invaders." In the Korean truce town of Panmunjom, a Communist correspondent said germs which produced bubonic plague and cholera have been isolated. The correspondent said Commun- st forces have undertaken a widespread inoculation program.

Peiping radio said China was to "organize anti-epidemic teams to send to Korea to fight the diseases spread by the American aggressors." A year ago American Army of- 'icials reported that typhus fever lad reached epidemic proportions North Korea and was reducing led manpower. At that time the Communists made no charge of acteriological warfare. Nor did hey show any such concern as has een in broadcasts of the ast four days. The U. which is re- uctant to dignify Red propaganda with official recognition, had issued no formal denial of the germ war barges.

A U. S. Eighth Army spokesman Korea said "we have at no time in any place engaged in any such ctivities" as germ warfare.

A proposal to set forth appro- riations by programs or functions ather than an itemized mass of Hails barely survived in the Senate Finance committee last night. Chairman Goldstein (D-Calvert) wanted to brush it off along with other recommendations of the Sobeloff commission by referring it to the Legislative Council for study. This would mean a year's delay before any action. "I want to point out we've been griping for years that as a practical matter we can't cut the budget because it's 5.000 lines," Sen. Sybert (D-Howard) argued.

"The Sobeloff Commission has proposed striking out the requirements for a line item budget which would permit for the first time an official budget bill which can be cut at least more readily than line item."
