Following these attacks by Republican leaders the
members of the Democratic State Central Committee OF
Montgomery County feel that fairness requires that the
voters be given equal opportunity to compare the
business records of both Congressional candidates and
consequently make the following statement.
Within the last few days the Republican candidate
for Governor, Theodore r. McKeldn Of Baltimore, and
the chairman of the Republican State Central Committee
for Montgomery County and other Republican leaders
have made personal attacks on the business record OF
E. Brooke Lee of Montgomery County Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the 9Th District, and have at
tempted to Brooke Lees record both by radio and
in many newspapers. ]. Glenn Beal, the Republican
candidate for Congress, has himself participated in
personal attacks upon Brooke Lee and has undoubtedly
known of and approved these attacks upon Brooke Lees
business record At the same time Mr.. Beall was de-
scrbed last week in political statement issued by the
chairman of the Republican State Central Committee
for Montgomery County successful businessman"
The political need for these against Brooke
Lees business record from the fact that he has
exceptionally good Legislative, governmental military
and political record and real ability and un-
usual experience which particularly fit him to in

candidate supported by Democratic majority of 10000

Brooke Lees Business Record

Consider the business record of Brooke Lee as COM
pared with that of Glenn Beal Certainly Brooke Lee
has shown different attitude towards his financial
obligations and which his friends like better.
When the great 1929 depression ripened into the
banking crisis in 1885, Brooke Lee stood the endorser
of very large amount in mortgage notes unmproved
land located in and around Silver SPRING on bank
notes where the had been loaned against holdings
in unimproved land equities in other real estate
These real estate holdings were sufficiently sound
and valuable after the general depression destruc
ton of real estate values that from their sale largely
through Brooke Lees continued work. 9186 to 1920 of
this total debt has been liquidated.

Brooke Lee. We would not have raised this issue in
the present campaign for Congress because do not

mouthpieces praise Glenn Bea successful business

Attempts to enflame voters through deception are
unAmerican at any time and personal smear campaigns
always odious, particularly today when it is

qualified candidate be elected to the Congress of the
United States.

The Business Record OF J. Glenn Bea OF Alegany County
The Sixth District Republican Candidate For Congress

The public records of the Circuit Court of Aegany
County located in Cumberland disclose that J. Glenn
Bea in 1888 settled his personal debt represented by
80 notes which totaled approximately $53,13424 for
cash payment of approximately $S0OOO for Is cents
on each $1,OO owed. These notes held for the
two located in Glenn Beals home city Of Frostburg
and one in the neighboring town of Midland. Glenn

totaling $50 13424 Through this settlement the de-
posors of these three closed national banks only

Glenn Bealrs 80 notes had an unpaid principal bal
of $41,47940 in May, 1888, which was the date
of this settlement, with unpaid interest amounting to
$1165484 total owed by Glenn Beal of $53,13424.

The contrast between the business record of Glenn
Beal and Brooke Lee is that Brooke Lee has already
worked out the liquidation Of $3.50 of his debt which
had practically all been the obligations of real
development companies which he had endorsed it
stood in the 1929 depression and in the 1888 bank crash
Brooke Lee has further secured in large part the
mainder of this debt through the pledge of all of his
himself of the protection allowed by the law avoid his
obligations. Brooke Lee has continued to work since
1929 to pay his old debt and is still working.
Glenn Beall abandoned his creditors 1888 with the
scant total payment of Is cents the $00 owed and
for that rate of payment chose to and did wipe out his
obligations to all Of them, leaving $3.50 Of the amounts
he owed unpaid.

appears later in this article basis for further
comparison.
The settlement made by Glenn Bea with these closed
banks matter of record in the Circuit Court for
Alegany County in the receivership proceedings, in
vovng each of the above three banks and be verified
by any one who wishes to take the trouble to check
these public court records.
Consider further:
Lawyers versed in handling sediments with closed
national banks for debtors who claim to be unable to
pay in full say that adavts of inability to pay
always filed by the debtor with the Receiver and for
warded through him to the Comptroller of the Cur
rency in Washington Upon such representations by
behalf of the debtor the Comptroller recommends to
the local Court the ACCESSIBILITY of settling the debts
the basis of the offer of compromise This procedure
almost automatically proves that Glenn Beall either
swore made representation that 49, 10000 in the
middle of 1888 all he could pay total debt of

Arthur j. Hlland, the newly elected chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee of Montgomery
County, who just received total of only 900 in
the recent Republican primary election in Montgomery
County on the same day Governor Herbert R. OConor
received 1911 votes in the Democratic primary in the
County, in statement attacking Brooke Lee issued last
week. -. Glenn Bea of Frostburg, our candidate
for Congress from the Sixth Congressional District Of
Maryland is a successful business man." Mr.. Hiland
continues in his prepared statement chairman of the
Republican party in Montgomery County, to personally
attack Brooke Lee in the following language: Mr Lee
has been exponent of extravaganza in his personal
and public life Judgments amounting to more than
100000 have been filed against him in Rockville"
Hiland's statement obviously prepared by Glenn
Beal or his close friends because it contains many
kindly statements about Beal concerning which Hlland
could have personal knowledge.
Certainly these the responsible leaders of the
Republican campaign in Maryland and the Sixth Con-
gressional District. They have made personal attack

requires the inspection of the business of both
Glenn Beall and Brooke Lee.

course We do say that these Republican spokesman
should not criticize Brooke Lees liquidation Of 92o
to 1870 of his debt while at the time they would

TEXAS MUST HAVE
 RUNOFF PRIMARY
Sen. w. Lee O'Daniels to
 Compete Against James V. Alfred

Dallas, Tex, July 27-(UP)-A run-off between Sen. w. Lee O'Daniel and former Governor James V. Alfred appeared necessary today to determine the outcome of Texas Democratic Senatorial pri- mary.
 Nearly complete returns showed that O,Daniel, former flour sales7 man who campaigned for renomina- \ ton by attacking Communist Labor Racketeers," had received approxi- mately 48 per cent of the vote. A ma ajority is needed for nomination.
 When the Texas Election Bureau closed last night, incomplete returns from 251 of the 254 counties gave: IsOpaniel 39e, e,439; Alfred 269,047; Dan Moody 152.227; Floyd E. Ryan 10000.
 Complete returns have been re- ceived from 106 counties.
 The figures gave O'Daniel 8 plur- ality of 129,392 over Alfred, but he needed 5000 more for majority over all opponents. Democratic nomination is tatamount to election.
 All but one of the 21 incumbent congressnien seemed assured of re- nomination. Rep. Charles |. Smith was forced into the run-off primary by o. c. Fisher who led by almost 5000 votes.
 The run-off primary will be held August 22.

Failure of Joseph Palladino of 1853 Easton avenue and members of his family to appear in municipal court today as complaining witnesses re- suited in the continuance for one day of the case of Gaetano O.. Pascale, 28, of 276 West Main street, charged with burglary. Pascale, who allegedly broke into Palladinos 4.o...e tarly Saturday morning and tried to make off with box con- ''r $1 GOO cash and $50 war bond, is held under bond of $2,- 900.
 Prosecutor William K. Lawlor said he had been given to understand that Palladino IS not inclined to press charges against Pascale, a "frjerd" of the family.
 The prosecutor stated, however, that if Palladino and other sub- poenaed witnesses are not in court tomorrow he will issue capias con- manding their appearance. "It is not for them to determine whether the man is to be prosecuted" he commented.

Daylight, which caused the com mander to submerge his craft again, prevented the raider from taking on full load for its 13 torpedo rackS.
 Two days later, the submarine encountered a small fishing craft and halted it by firing shell across It's bow.
 Gibbs was brought on deck and ordered to swim to the fishing boat, which landed him at Dutch West Indies island. Later he was brought here by plane.
 He was picked up by the submar- inc after having survived two tor- pedoings within 24 hours. The sink ing of both ships has been amour ced by the Navy.
