Maryland Democratic primary can

In statements Sunday night, two of
the three major Democratic guberna-
torial contestants, w. Preston Lane
and j. Willard Tawes, sharply criti-
cized each other and Rep. H. STREET.
Baldwin, the third leading contender
for the governorship.
Although he said he was reluctant
to engage in personal controversy
Lane declared that he found it neces-
sary to reply to what he Tabled mis-
representations against him.
Termed 'Falsehood of Rankest Kind
He termed statement by w. Lee
Elgin, TaWcs' campaign manager
that Lanes organization was spend
ing vast sums for Tawes' defeat "a
falsehood of the rankest kind"
Another allegation by Elgin that
Lane had only an even chance to car
ry Washington county drew from the
latter the assertion that he would
carry every county in Western Mary
land by a record-breaking majority
Lane added that Elgin, who is state
commissioner of motor vehicles, "has

more effective than that of any per-

Tawes Seeks Spending Agreement
At the same time Tawes asked
Lane and Baldwin "to enter into an
agreement with me that none of us
shall spend directly or indirectly more
than $25 in any one city precinct on
election day"
Unless a candidate for statewide
office as ready to put himself under
obligation to persons able to raise
money in one ed-thousand-d dol

disadvantage" Tawes declared
He promised he would put some

"For the past several weeks,
TaWes continued, 81 have been hear

and responsible sources of the

politicians supporting Mr.. Lane. The
situation is fast reaching the scanda
stage"
He declared that unless the Dem
ocratic party can find way to STOP
this orgy of reckless spending Of
money, party nominations will soor

Out of State Plane

Local airplane enthusiasts here re-
ported to the city council this week
that the airplane which kept flying
at a low altitude over Oakland on
Memorial Day had been identified as
an out-of-state plane that its num-
Der had been obtained and report
made to civil air authorities. 1t is
against the law to fly over a town at
an altitude less than 500 feet.
The explanation was made to the
council because of the fact that a
number of persons were of the opin-
ion that the "stunts" were being
pulled from the local airfield.

account of the accident:
"While | was rowing to try to

 Denies Charges
 Of Association

Boston, Sept. 26--(UP)-The Rev Stephen H. Friedman of Boston editor of the Christian Register and director of American Unitarian youth, confirmed today a report that he is 4ndeE investigation by tbe American Unitarian Association ieI alleged communistic activities but denied the charges.
 The aSsociation's executive com mittee reportedly instituted the in- quiry last July at the behest oi several church members who charg- ed that Friedman had eollaborated with the Communists and Commun- ists front groups.
 One complainant seeks to have Friedman removed from both his offices because of his radical affi- liations." It is believed that tht executive committee will report its findings at the next meeting of thf associations board of directors Oct g.
 Says Part of Campaign
 The complaints lodged against Friedman include:
 1. That the Christian Register,
 under his editorship, has fre-
 quently followed the Communist ..
 line.
 ?. That he has openly colla-
 borated with Communists.
 3. That he has consistently
 defended Soviet political and
 economic doctrine.
 4. That he has permitted pro-
 Communist speakers to address
 meetings of the American Uni
 tariap youth.
 The A-year-old Friedman classi- fled the charges as part of cam paign of attack on liberal church men today of many denominations Catholic, Jewish and Protestant" Says Attack Is Reason For Concern
 My reply is the same as that made by Catholic Bishop Bernard J. Shell of Chicago recently to sim liar attacks by Upton Close" he said. T, of course, deny the charges categorically. The attack itself should give every believer in demo- cracy gravest concern"

New York, Sept. 26. (UP)-Phila- oelphia is a town where the dogs wag their tails, but the baseball players jump up and bite.
 That's what the ordinary Brook iynlyn guys said, limping slowly back from watching the Dodgers yesterday take their 11-9 pounding The Brooklyns carried their raw nerves gingerly; like broken bot ties, and they yelled at the bar tender if he didn't serve up the drinks fast enough.
 Lanky Tony Marchese waged his black cigar, and he spoke out to those who stood silently around him.
 Chapman Not Nice
 T can't believe it," he said. T can't believe that those Philnes would do it to us. I seen Leo Duro- cher and Ben Chapman standing together in newspaper picture yesterday. They were grinping, with their hands out to feel the rain
 T said, that Chapman look like he feels good, maybe tomorrow hell be nice, but TOW he's up and done it."
 Marchese was trying to eat his lunch in a diner when the Phillies first went ahead, to l. He just shook his head, and listened to the radio.
 T can't eat," he said, mot an- other bite" And he didn't.
 hn fhi1Nnep coid gray-haired Dan Quincy, liquor salesman. 'Yessir, I thought those Phillies would be kind-hearted.'
 Bartender Neutral
 I'm neutral" the bartender said. I'm behind the bar. I've gotta be neutral
 Dah Quincy slipped at his beer, and he stared around the room as if trying to shake the full horror from him.
 50 the Phillies have fifth place practically cinched," he said. 50 what good does it do for them to rise up and bite us? Can't they be happy in fifth place? Can't they let us be happy? I don't understand it."
 A Southerner walked up to the bar, while the radio was still blar- ing, before the game was over.
 T left" he said. T just couldn't stand it. It ain't baseball they're playing. It's hop-scotch or marbles, or that game where you use nets and feather-but it ain't base ball"
 You talking about Brooklyn" someone asked.
 I'm talking about both teams" the Southerner said,
 I'm neutral" the bartender said. Tn my job, you gotta be neutral"
 Gives Leo Credit
 There was treason spoken then, loud and bold, even while the Dodgers were losing.
 Lew Martin, a little man with a red face, spoke up sadly.
 We gotta admit it. he said. "The way look at it the Dodgers have played way over their bonnets all along. I figure the credit goes to Leo Durocher"
 But Brooklynite James Fox rolled with the punch, and came up fight ing.
 50 that's what they always say" he replied. "A ball club Is like a racehorse, brother. There's only one way to judge him. If he wins, he's good. And he's better than the horse that loses"
 Won't Give Up
 But this was just talk, hot air expanded on a soft Fall night, and most of the men turned away from it. They slipped their beer and rubbed the bars edge with their bellies.
 But we haven't given up," Tony Marchese said. We won't until it's over"
