FRIDAY SEPTEMBER IL,
Clair Letter CHARGES
Pressure 10 Get Him
To Quit Board Race

Francis j. Clair, protesting that
pressure was being brought to have
him withdraw as a candidate for
the Arlington County Board, as
serted today that he is in the race
to stay.
Mr.. Clair's sharply worded letter
to I. Lee Porter, an opponent, en-
iivened a campaign involving Demo-
Gratis. Republicans and so-called
non-partisans. A field Of four has
entered the race for the one board
vacancy which will be Allied at the
November 2 election.
While he was filing the protest,
Mr.. Clair accused Mr.. Potter Of be-
ing the candidate OF Arlington
Republican Chairman Edgar w.
Pumphrey, although listing himself
as an independent.
II would consider 1t a deep cour-
tesy from you." Mr.. Clair wrote
Mr.. Potter, s'if you would cease hav-
ing your well-meaning followers
continually take up my time with
their efforts to have me withdraw
from the race for the County Board
in your favor. This subject u also
becoming very annoying TO my
friends.
In Race to Stay.
"I am in the race to sty. None
Of my friends have been to you
to get you to withdraw. AS . mat
ter of fact, we have given very
little thought to your campaign"
Observers saw in this move an
effort to increase the chances of
beating the Democratic nominee,
Alfred E. Frisbie, the incumbent
board member, by narrowing the
anti.Democratic field. The Demo-
Gratis now hold three Of the five
seats.
Mr.. Potter, a musician and build
er, is member of the Arlington
Republican Executive Committee but
he entered this contest as an in
dependent. Mr.. Clair, also q Re-
publican, sought the COP nomina-
ton by filing notice Of his candidacy,
subject to party primary.
The primary was never held and
Mr.. Clair claimed a right to the
nomination by default. The Exeeu-
tive Committee decided, however,
that it would make no ofIicial nomi-
nation. Then Mr.. Potter announced
his candidacy for the board.
Letter Is Quoted.
In his letter of protest, Mr.. Clair
wrote Mr.. Potter:
II am q lifelong Republican and
am writing as . Republican, while
you claim to be Republican but
seem to be ashamed Of it. If you
are ashamed to be Republican, as
you surely seem to be, why don't
you get of the Republican County
Committee?
your disguised candidacy Is not
non partisan. The bipartisan elec-
tions were invoked to give the Fed
eral employees an opportunity to hold
ONCE. You are no Federal employe,
such as I am. I could more rightly
claim the honor than you.
you are only the candidate Of
Mr.. Pumphrey, who has acted In
bad faith all the way through. You,

RALEIGH, l... Il. Digest of
opinions by the attorney general
interpretig effect of state laws
released for publication today
gives major attention to the ex-
tent and limitation of local gov
ernments.
Letters covering these subjects
and condensed for the press were
written several months ago and
the local officials have already
acted upon the advice.
According to the attorney gen.
eral, county commissioners have
full control of the county court
house and the right to determine
what use may be made of the
building, other than its primary
functions of housing county of
ficers. Another opinion holds
that there is no general statutory
authority for commissioners to
appropriate tax money for soil
conservation programs.
Municipal governing boards
have the right to extend use OF
water, sewer and power service
to customers outside the corpor-
ate limits and to charge high

er rate than for residents of the
municipality. They also have
authority to impose privilege or
license tax upon any legitimate
employment or business conduc-
ted for profit, except in cases
where specific exemption is
granted by statute.
A lawyer may buy and sell
real estate when he has obtained
license for that function, but
real estate agent who is not
an attorney may not under any
circumstances prepare deeds or
other legal documents for other
persons.
In criminal cases our statutes
authorize judges of superior
court not only to impose, but at
any time to modify, the condi-
tions of probation contained in a
judgment of the court.
Preliminary hearings on the
question of probable cause dc
not determine the guilt or inno-
cense of the defendant; conse.
quently, release or discharge oi
defendant at one such hearing
does not prevent a later COM
plant and hearing for the same
offense.
