Maryland Election
Row Seen as Clash
OF Views on Law
Radcliffe Manager Reptile:
To Tobey's Charge of
Excess Expenditures

Conflicting interpretations of the
Maryland Corrupt Practices Act
seemed today to be underlying a
controversy over whether Senator
Radcliffe Maryland Democrat. won
his seat legally in last years cleo
tionS.
Claiming that the Maryland law
specified that no more than $4,000
may be spent for a candidate in a
senatorial primary. Senator Tobey.
Republican. of New Hampshire yes
terday cited reported disbursements
by one candidate of S82.293.65, plus
unpaid bills of s23,03264 and ex-
penditures of $1,000 on the candi-
dates behalf by other agencies.
The treasurer for another candi-
date, Senator Tobey said, reported
disbursements of $3.50 while the
treasurer of the Campaign Com
mittee for the same candidate re-
ported disbursements of $50, 400 SO
and unpaid bills of $5,33106.
100000 Outlay Claimed.
"And So" he declared, "the fact
is that more than 100000 was
spent in the campaigns of these two
senatorial candidates for the nomi-
nation only, one of whom was elect
ed and seated in the United States
Senate"
Senator Radcliffe defeated Howard
Bruce in the Democratic primary
and then defeated former Gov. Nice
in November.
From Baltimore, the Associated
Press quoted Edward j. Colgan, jr.,
manager of the Radcliffe campaign,
as follows:
Evidently Senator Tobey is labor
ing under misapprehension of the
Maryland law governing eXpend-
itures by candidate for the United
States Senate in a primary contest.
Says Law Was Observed.
II am confident that the law was
scrupulously observed by Senator
Radcliffe in his primary campaign.
have no further comment to make
until I have seen the text of the
report made by Senator Tobey."
The Maryland Corrupt Practices
Act, the Associated Press continued,
limits to $4,000 the amount a can
didate himself may spend in his own
behalf in campaign. There is no
limit, however, to the amount of
contributions others may make
toward his campaign for expenditure
by his political agents.
Senator Tobey made his charge in
supplemental report designed for
inclusion with the report of the
Senate Campaign Expenditures Com
mittee. The full committee report
has not yet been made public.

tivity.
Mr.. Bane, former Virginia COM

There's nothing like a good meat and vegetable stew to feed hungry folks well and inexpensively on cold winter days. If dumplings or some other starchy food is to go into the stew, it's hearty meal all in one dish.
 Most stews start with low-priced meats. Less tender cuts, cooked long and slowly, make tender and savory stews and are just as nutri- tiouS as expensive cuts.
 Brown the stew meat in hot fat. That's what gives the stew its rich flavor and deep brown color.
 SELECT CAREFULLY
 When choosing vegetables, think of the color and flavor com binations. Carrots, potatoes, and onions are favorite combination Lima beans, tomatoes and corn are used in Brunswick stews, a typi- cally American 6;5h named after a county in Virginia. Turnips, rutabagas, or parsnips are starch vegetables that double for pota- toes. To add green color. choose Brussels sprouts, cabbage peas, green pepper or snap be- ns.
