Big Books Blamed
For Bad Posture
|Of Bobby-Soxers
BY The Assoeioied Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 25.-Books
were blamed today by Children's
Hospital School worker for what she
called that "bobby-sox slouch"-and
1t had nothing to do with reading.
Mrs. Florence P. Kendal, wife and
associate of the director of physical
therapy at the hospital school here,
said carrying stacks of heavy books
between home and school and from
class to class, contributed to faulty
posture discovered in the examina-
ton of school students.
Her solution:
Let them print the books in
pamphlet form and let the children
carry only the part Immediately re-
quired. That would reduce the
huge pile of books to q small, easily
carried package and prevent q lot
Of maladjusted hips"

Charter Group
Scare
To Democrats
Organization Replies
Committee Hos FoiIed
To Prove MisruIe

The Montgomery County Charter
Committee today accused the county
Democratic organization of launch
ing campaign of scare propa-
ganda" in an attempt to confuse the
voters.
At the same time, an advertise
ment published by the United DEM
ocratic Organization in county news
papers declared the Charter Com
mittse has failed to prove any OF its
charges of bad county government
practices. It urged the voters to
reject the proposed Charter Board
in the November election.
Asserting that the county Demo-
cratic Party Is directing its campaign
against a charter that has not even
been drafted, the committee empha-
sized:
THE fact is that the only propo-
sition before the electorate Is the
question of whether or not charter
board should be elected to hold pub
lie hearings and submit a draft OF
charter for acceptance or reJec-
ton by the voters in 1948."
Deny Unlimited Powers.
The charter group also described
as an "out-and-out falsehood"
statements by the Democrats that
the proposed charter board would
have unlimited powers to put into
effect any government it wishes.
The committee pointed out that
recommendations of the charter
board could not become law unless
approved by the voters.
I'm their last-minute. campaign
of false rumors," the committee
said, "the professional politicians
are attacking a distorted version OF
the 1914 charter recommendations,
which are not an issue in this cam
paign.
This is merely an attempt by the
machine to draw attention away
from its own incompetence in gov
erning the county"
Charge False Fronts.
In addition, the committee ac-
cused the Democrats of setting up
false front organizations, such as
the Veterans Better Government
Group"
The veterans group, headed by
James r. Miller, Rockville attorney
and former Marine officer, yester-
day urged county veterans to vote
against the charter board question.
In its advertisement the United
Democratic Organization said the
Charter Committee has produced
no evidence which would justify
thoughtful voters in taking a
chance on that experimental plan

attacking the Democratic admin
istration in Montgomery County
and Maryland last night at a rally

attended by approximately 1000
persons.
Spearheading last nights attack
was Mayor Theodore r. McKeldin
of Baltimore, candidate for Gov
ernor, whose talk was broadcast
over Station WMAL.
He charged that Democratic can
didates spent the staggering and
shameful sum" of s1,000,00O in the
primary last June in an attempt to
purchase the votes of Maryland
citizens.
Limit on Spending Urged.
Describing this "slush" fund as
"scandalous and disgraceful," Mayor
McKeldin proposed amendment of
the Corrupt Practices Act so as to
put limit on candidates expendi-
lures"
mo doubt you people in Mont
gomery County," he predicted, will
see the oozing forth of this CAM
paign money disbursed here by that
old-time boss and paymaster. E.

cohorts"
He warned that if his opponent,
William Preston Lane, jr., is elected,
Mr.. Lee will be a State as we'll as
a county boss" and will guide my
opponents ship of State with a
calloused hand and jaundiced eye"

for reelection from the 9Th dis
trict. said charges by his Demo-
cratic opponent, Arch Mcdonald,

LAS a matter of fact, the Con-
gressman's presence on the floor is
required only after long hours OF
labor in committees" Mr.. Beall said.

States Senate; Walter w. Dawson,
chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee for the county;

Communist Leader
Attends COP Rally
In Northern Virginia

The unexpected appearance OF
Mrs. Alice Burke, Communist can
didate for the Senate, at Northern
Virginia Republican rally left COP
leaders a bit shaken today but oi
the opinion that they remained
clear Of a pinkish tinge.
Mrs. Burke showed up last night
at a rally and barbecue sponsored
for three Republican House and
Senate candidates from Virginia at
the Rhinehart farm in Fairfax
County.

an invitation from Paul E. Rhine

Following a hurriedly summoned
conference of Republican Party
leaders, Fred A. Bryan, Fairfax
County COP chairman, told Mrs.
Burke she was welcome to sit in
and to ask questions" but that the
only speakers would be Republicans.
Sponsored Rally Only.
Mr.. Bryan explained that the Re-
pubhcans were sponsoring only the
rally and barbecue which began at
$50 pm. and had no connection
with an earlier horse-racing event
which Mr.. Rhinehart had given.
The typewriter invitation which
Mrs. Burke exhibited to reporters
stated that 90 all candidates
/. will be given an opportunity
to point to that mode of govern
ment which is best =. Can we
count on you to be present? Some
$500 worth of barbecued beef will
be given away
Mrs. Burke said she was surprised
when the invitation was received at
Communist headquarters in Rich
mond and she had confirmed it by
telephone to Mr.. Rhinehart yeSter-
day morning.
Many Democrats Attend.
Among others present at the affair
was Howard w. Fields, former
Arlington County sheriff who said
he had been a Democrat for many
years but now is an independent.
leaders expressed pleas
ure at the large turnout and said
many of the guests were Democrats.
The fact that Mrs. Burke, who
polled 5000 votes when she ran
against the late Senator Glass in
1912, was in the audience was
reflected in several speeches.
Carl Marshall, 9Th district Repub-
lican chairman, declared, Many
Democrats have joined the Repub-
lican Party since the Democratic
Party, as a national party, has been
taken over by the Communists and
their fellow travellers"
Lawrence Michael, 9th district
candidate for the House, said he
was proud that the Republican
Party of Northern Virginia is mot
affiliated in any way with the Com
munist Party"
Woods Makes Plea.
A plea Ito vote for the American
way of life" was made by Robert
H. Woods, Pearisburg, candidate for
the Senate.
Lester Parsons, Norfolk, the other
COP senatorial nominee, charged
Senator Byrd, the Democratic in
cumbent, is powerful in State
politics but doesn't amount to much
in Congress.
Also speaking were Mr.. Bryan and
Kenneth Livingston, campaign man
ager for Mr.. Michael.
Mrs. Burke who served refresh
ments along with other guests, did
not accept Mr.. Bryan's invitation
to TASK questions Before leaving,
