Mylo Downey All
Boys Club Agent

Appointment of Mylo S. Downey
as State All Boys Club Agent for
the University of Maryland extern
sion service is announced by DR.. T.
B. Symons, director. He succeeds
E. G. Jenkins, who retired a few
months ago after serving in that
position for 20 years.
Mr.. Dowrey is a native of Wash
ington County, Maryland, where he
was raised on a general dairy farm.
Starting as Al Club member and
later a local leader of a All Club in

ever since
He graduated from the University
of Maryland in 1928 and for two
years taught vocational agriculture

He then became assistant county
agent in Allegany, Washington and

I have a feeling that there was
more than meets the eye in both
the withdrawal of H. L. Mills, we'll
known Hagerstown business man,
from the Republican Senatorial
Primary, and the backing of Senator
Tydings by Governor O'Conor. So
let's take an imaginary peek behind
the scenes.
1t is quite feasible that Mr.. Mills,
who entered the Senate race because
he believed that the time had come
to put an end to the present Bureau
cratic form of government and was
ready to campaign on that clear cut
issue, found out that the Republ-
can State Central Committee was
more Interested in an inter-part fac
tional fight than it was in winning
the Senate seat.
1t is also possible that, after talk
ing with the other candidates on the
ticket, and their hackers, MIR. Mills
got the impression that both factions
had already conceded the election
to Senator Tydings and that the
Primary was simply to be used to
determine whether the Tate Nickel
din faction, or the Baltimore City
Central Committee faction, is to
control the Republican Party in the
Free State.
If my peek comes anywhere
close to hitting the mark, then Mr..
Mills, who was unquestionably sin
cere IN entering the race in the in
terest Of good government, did the
smart thing IN withdrawing.
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1944-04-13

Now let's take peek at Governor
O'Conor's last-minute backing of
Senator Tydings.
A great many people believe that
Governor O'Conor and his support
ers were originally back of the
Jones entry into the Democratic
Senatorial Primary and that the
strategy back of it was to cut into
Senator Tydings' known popularity
in the State, by forcing him into a
stiff Primary fight and thus prevent
ing him from going to the Demo-
cratic Convention as the unanimous
" chosen leader Of his Party in
Maryland. with control over the
Maryland Conventions vote.
If this superstition IS correct,
couldn't It also be possible that the
plan backfred and that the Govern
or realized that Senator Tydings
was in? Continuing along the
same line of thought, isn't i con-
ceiyable that the Governor deemed
it advisable to climb aboard the
-Tydngs Bandwagon" and 50, at the
last minute, Mr.. Jones was asked to
withdraw from the race?
But, # that is really what hap
pened, it looks as if Mr.. Jones threw
q monkey wrench into the plans by
refusing to withdraw.
These possible behind the scene
tactics could not hold water if Gov
ernor O'Con0r had openly an
nounced his support of Senator Tyd-
ings as soon as all nominations for
the Primary were fled, but the fact
that ne withheld announcement of
MS support until past the with
drawal deadIine, makes one wonder.

Noxon Still
Denies Guilt

Pittsfield, Mass, July 8.-(UP)-
The IL Jurors who sat at John F
Noxon Jr.'s first murder trial will
appear before the Berkshire county
grand jury Monday to tell their
story of an alleged jury fixing at
tempt by two deputy sheriffs.
Dist. Atty. Charles r. Albert, who
successfully prosecuted a murder
charge against the socially-prom-
inent lawyer, said today that the II
men had been summoned to appear
at the session over which Superior
Judge Thomas j. Hammond will
preside. Albert, himself, will pre-
sent the evidence.
Charges are that two deputy
sheriffs, one from North Adams
the other from Lee, sought to sway
the 12-man panel as 1t was hearing
evidence that Noxon deliberately
electrocuted his 6-month-old imbe-
Gle son Lawrence last Sept. %.
The first trial ended in mis-trial
because Of a jurors illness but O
second trial resulted in the con-
viction of the 47-year-old Noxon
of first-degree murder eliminated
by the imposition Of the death SEN
tence yesterday.
First knowledge Of the attempted
fixing" came from Foreman Will
liam Widen, a Williamstown leather
manufacturer, and his story was
supported by affidavits given by
other members Of the panel. The
reputed attempts were made during
the absence of Sheriff ]. Bruce Nc
Intyre who at the time was In the
u. s. Army.
The story was that one Of the
deputies approached Widen at his
room in the hotel where the jury
was locked up. The deputy, who
was serving as q night guard at the
jail where Noxon was confined, al
legedly said:
"Noxon Is innocent"
