BY JACK ALLEN.

The Republican State Central Com
mittee in Prince Georges County was
confronted today with the task of
naming two additional candidates to
complete the ticket it will send into
the November general election in
opposition to the Democratic nominees.
Retirement Of Karl A. Young OF
Mount Rainier from the county COM
missioner fight and Carlton E. Pyles
OF Temple Hills as an aspirant to the
House of Delegates has left G. O. P.
leaders with the problem of naming
replacements to round out their county
slate.
w. Wesley Beall of Ritchie also has
withdrawn from the race for sheriff,
but as there are four others left in
the Republican primary, the party is
assured of representation for that
of1ce in the November balloting and
no further candidates can be offered.
No Sheriff Aspirants Backed.
The Republican State Central Com
mittee, incidentally, has not placed its
Endorsement on any OF those who seek
the sheriff's nomination, explaining it
prefers to make "an open contest" of
the race with the voters choosing
their own candidate"
George T. Burroughs of Upper
Marlboro, counsel to the Board OF
Election Supervisors, said today that
State election laws give the Repub-
lican committee until primary day,
September II, to flll the vacancies on
its ticket.
Mr.. Young and Mr.. Beall withdrew
their candidates. q short time before
the deadline for Withdrawals at mid
night Saturday, while Mr.. Pyles asked
several days before that his name be
left off the ballot.
1t was explained by Mr.. Young that
he reconsidered his position and decid-
ed his duties as president of the Mary
land State Firemen's Association al
ready require much of his time and
he would not be able to find time to
serve if elected commissioner

licans, Carl P. Phelps, Robert H. Du-
vail, William A. Bobb and William G.
Wedding, in the commissioner fight
There are five places on the Board of
County Commissioners, which is

rather than from commissioner dis
tricts, as is the case in some Of the
Maryland counties.
Mr.. Pyles, who said he had no ex-
PLANTATION to offer for his withdrawal,
was nominated along with Samuel r.
Acuff, Hugh M. Waldrop. Robert E.
Ennis, Bird H. Dolby and George B.
McCeney as the G. O. P. committee q
slate for the county's six seats in the
House Of Delegates.

in the State OF Maryland? 1t is not by
his own funds. He has stated that
publicly himself. No, it is thanks to
the funds of big business
And whereas have supplied almost
half Of the money for my own modest
campaign, Mr.. Tydings floods the State
with an avalanche OF carpet t-bagging
greenbacks collected from some of the
greatest corporations in the country.
Yet, while accepting these funds,
Senator Tydings calls the President of
the United States a carpet-bagger and
objects to his entering State which
twice gave him the biggest electoral
majorities in recent history.
Il give you this warning Mr.. Tyd-
ings: The people of Maryland do not
hate their President"
Praises Hallgren.
Representative Lewis also charged
that Senator Tydings has endeavored
to confuse" the campaign, too, by
constantly referring to Mauritz Hall
gren as Communist, and has at
tempted to link me with him as Com
munist."
Mr.. Hallgren. a former candidate
for the senatorial nomination, with
drew. Mr.. Lewis said, because he
believed Il was better able to carry
the Roosevelt banner"
Mr. Hallgren, Representative Lewis
explained, is not a Communist, but
"a hard-working, honest gentleman
who pays his debts, loves his family,
and has one of the best interests of
this State at heart"
Il cannot escape the conclusion"
he added, that many of the charges
and denials made by Mr.. Tydings in
this campaign were made deliberately
for the purpose Of muddying up the
political waters"
Later Mr.. Lewis attacked the farm
record Of Senator Tydings. and cited
telegram which the Senator was
reported to have sent an Eastern Shore
newspaper which he quoted as follows:
Senator Radcliffe and 1 are glad
to report that the Surplus Commodi-
ties Sales Corp. is going to commence
to buy Maryland potatoes tomorrow"
Says Tydings Took Credit.
Inquiry at the Department of Com
merce assures me-" he said, that Mr..
Tydings had nothing to do with the
decision to buy potatoes: but that
Senator Radcliffe arranged it, where
upon Mr.. Tydings jumped into the
breach with telegram and took the
credit.
I'm other words, my opponent votes
against the provision for buying sur
plus farm commodities, then turns
around and grabs the benefits from
It,"
Mr. Lewis will return to Baltimore
today to continue his campaign there
at a political rally tonight on the
Bel Air road.
Arrangements have been made for
him to speak Wednesday night at the
Seat Pleasant ball park in Prince
Georges County. Senator Tydings
also has planned to 60 into Prince
Georges County Wednesday at the
same time. but he will speak at the
armory in Hyattsville. Both addresses
