Dugan Assai|s Campbell
On Hanrahan Custer Try

Dan Dugan, independent candi-
date for the Arlington County
Board, yesterday leveled two charges
against his Democratic opponent
Edmund D. Campbell, incumbent
in connection with the attempt
Saturday to oust County Manager
Frank c. Hanrahan.
"By voting for Mr.. Hanrahan's
removal" Mr.. Dugan declared, "Mr
Campbell has either admitted again
that: Mr.. Hanrahan has been in
competent for some time and thus
exposed his own failure to assume
responsibility by not calling
for the county managers removal
long before the election period, or
he has voted for the removal in
order to place Mr. Hanrahan in the
position of fall guy and save his
own face politically"
Mr.. Campbell said today he had
mo comment" to make on his op-
ponents assertions.
The County Board, of which Mr.
Campbell is chairman, voted 80
against notifying Mr.. Hanrahan
that his services would not be re-
quired next year. The motion to
dismiss the county manager was
made by Board Member Basil De

in Johns Hopkins Hospital, Balti-
more, of 20-month-old Raymond
Eardley, jr., his mother, Mrs. Maxine
Eardley, 913 Bashford lane, Alex

mitted to the hospital.

but that it could not be found.
About a week later, according to
Mrs. Eardley, she took the baby to
Washington hospital but he was
discharged four days later when
X-rays showed no traces of the
button.

breathing became labored, Mrs.

her physician, who advised her to
take him to Johns Hopkins Hospital

U.S.. High CoutRuIing
Seen Giving Maryland
NewRiver Jurisdiction
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 16.-By deny
ing the appeal of a man convicted
of criminal assault, the Supreme
Court of the United States may
have cleared the way toward the
solving of one of Maryland's knot
tiest conservation problems-how
to enforce the fishing lays on the
Potomac.
Maryland Attorney General Will
liam Curran said last night that 'by
inference" certain clauses of the
compact OF 1785 between Virginia
and Maryland now are void because
of the Supreme Court ruling, and
the Free State has basis for prose-
cutting Potomac River oyster raiders
whether they are Virginians or not.
Heretofore, Maryland conserva-
ton authorities had been forced to
turn violators over to Virginia for
prosecution If they were residents
of that State.
The Supreme Court denied the
appeal of Jack Lester Barnes, COL
ored, who was convicted of criminal
assault involving 53-year-old white
woman on a steamer from Norfolk
to Washington, and sentenced to be
hanged by the Prince Georges
County, (Md) Circuit Court.
He had based his appeal on the
10th article of the 1785 compact:
And all piracies, crimes and Of
fenses committed on the before
mentioned parts of the Chesapeake
Bay and Pocomoke River, by any
persons not citizens of Maryland,
against any citizen of Virginia,
shall be tried in the court of the
Commonwealth of Virginia-the
jurisdiction of each State over the
river Potomac shall be exercised in
the same manner
Maryland contended the clause
applied only when there was some
dispute over the ownership of the
river and argued further that an
arbitrating commission ruled in 1877
that Maryland should have juris-
diction of the Potomac to Virginia 5
low-tide mark.
The Maryland Court of Appeals
upheld the States argument and
their decision was affirmed by the
Supreme Court.
Mr.. Curran said the Supreme
Court decision meant that the opin-
ion could be extended to cover fish

tions hit a record high last month
of So, 10000, County Treasurer John

month in the history of the county.
Collections in September, 1945, to-
tailed 81 1854 900, he reported. He at

that people have more money than
they ever had before"

said the work of his Office has more
than doubled during the last year.
He said transfers of properties from
April / to July l totaled approx

The action was taken on the
recommendation of Daniel Doherty,
chairman of a special committee

Taxation Of j. ).
Properly Up 70
Arlington Voters
Charter Amendment
Would Provide Levy
On Now-Exempt Lond

The more than four square miles
OF Arlington now occupied by the
Federal Government probably would
afford the county some additional
revenue if proposed amendment to
the Virginia Constitution is acted
on favorably in the referendum to
be held at the November election, it
was brought out by j. Maynard Ma
gruder,> chairman of the Democratic
campaign committee for Arlington.
Mr.. Magruder, noted there will
be two ballots in the general elec-
ton.
The first ballot lists the candi-
dates while the second ballot, he
said, will give voters an opportunity
to express themselves on the pro-
posed amendment which would re-
move the exemption for taxes now
granted to Federal property. State
and local governments would then
be permitted to tax such property,
providing the Federal Government
agreed.
Mr.. Magruder declared it is be-
fieved the Federal Government will
readily assent to paying taxes on
certain of its properties in Airing
ton.
When asked about the proposed
amendment, Edmund D. Campbell,
chairman of the County Board and
Democratic candidate for re-elec-
ton, said he believed there is need
for relief of the taxpayers of the
State who suffer through the tax
burden imposed through Federal
acquisition of taxable property.
Enactment into law of the pro-
posed amendment might possibly
afford Arlington some additional
revenue" he said.
He pointed out the Federal Gov
ernment has acquired more than
100000 acres in Virginia. having
total value of more than $3.50 900, 900.
