For Splitting Baltimore
By the Associofed Press

BALTIMORE. Oct. 24.-Theo-
dore R. McKeldin, Gov. Lanes Re
publican oponent, declared last

every decent person in this State"

the political trading block the

Arlington 10 Forego
Appeal as Court Voids
Referendum on Pools

No appeal is planned to an Ar
lington court decision voiding a
referendum that approved a $780,
900 bond issue for swimming
pools, Arlington Commonwealth's
Attorney Denman T. Rucker said
today.
In a four-page opinion yester-
day, Circuit Judge Walter T. Nc
Carthy held that "the election
should be declared illegal and
void" The question was voted
on August l at the primary elec-
tions.
The question was approved by a
margin of only IS votes. The pro-
ceeds of the bonds were to finance
construction of two swimming
pools for whites and one for
Negroes. Arlington has no public
swimming pools.
All Points Overruled.
The action that resulted in void
ing of the election was brought
by Arlington Treasurer John
Locke Green. Mr.. Green raised a
number of points, including an
assertion that the use of voting
machines violated State law. The
devices were used for the first
time In the August balloting.
Judge Mccarthy held that the
machines are legal. He also over
ruled all the points raised by the
plaintiff.
Nov that all Of the points spe-
cifically raised by the plaintiff
have been adversely disposed of,
it would appear that his action
should be dismissed" Judge Nc
Carthy said. in his opinion. But
in the courts study of this mat
ter, it has been cognizant of a
serious defect in this election,
which it feels that it must of its
own motion declare.
Contrary to Statute.
''The plaintiff claims that the
ballot was not in accord with the
court order, the petition or the
statute. He did not refer to the
question on the ballot; but the
question on the ballot, while in
accord with the court order, is
not in accord with the statute
under which this election was
called"
Judge Mccarthy explained that
the statute authorizes a petition
to the court for a referendum
upon the question, Shall the
country acquire, construct, main
tain and operate swimming
pools?" He pointed out that the
question, as framed in the court
order and as it appeared on the
ballot, was Shall the county con-
tract debt, borrow money anc
issue bonds?"
Two Referendums.
Judge Mccarthy said he is OF
the opinion the statute provides
for two referenduns.
"The question of whether the
county shall be authorized to have
swimming pools can be instituted
by the petitioners, but the ques-
tion of whether bonds shall be
issued can be instituted only by
the County Board and that only
after the first referendum shall,
have been approved by the voters,
Judge Mccarthy ruled.
A court attache said the ruling
has no effect on other referen-
dums on school bonds and sewer
system bonds, scheduled to be
voted on in the general election
on November 7.

Board Of Trade Chief
Backs Approval Of
Arlington Bond Issue

Arlington County's proposed $2,-
GIT 900 bond issue for enlargement
of its sewage treatment plan today
had the support Of Thornton w.
Owen. president of the Washing
ton Board of Trade.
A referendum will be held No.
vember 7 in Arlington on the issue.
The bonds would enable Arlington
to add to its treatment plant.
Statement Issued. A
The text of Mr.. Owens state
ment about the pollution problem
follows:
"The Washington Board of
trade is deeply concerned over
the steady deterioration of the
sanitary condition of the Potomac
River. In fact. realizing this con-
dition. on March 10. 1887, its
Rivers and Harbors Committee
suggested the creation of a spe-
cial body to give publicity to, and
aid in. the elimination of pollu-
ton in the Potomac River and its
tributaries. AS a result of the
efforts of this committee. Con-
gress on July IL, 1910, granted
consent for the creation of a Po-
tomac Valley Conservancy Dis
trict and the Establishment of the
Interstate Commission on the Po-
tomac River Basin.
Some Progress Made.
with the cooperation of
States. communities, industries
and farmers, this commission has
attained a better quality of water
at Great Falls. 1t is now alarmed
over the present critical and near
dangerous condition of the river
from Hains Point in Washington
downstream to Fort Foote in
Maryland. Experts associated
with the commission have stated
that this stretch of the river is
fast approaching septic or cess
pool conditions. They inform us
that if such a condition is per-
mitted to occur, the river will be-
come a threat to the health, well
fare and security of not only those
using or residing near tbs river
but to all people in the Metro
politan Area.
"The District of Columbia and
the Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission are actively en-
gagged in the construction of IA
cilities to remove pollution from
the east side of the river. A bond
issue, understand. will be voted
upon by the residents of Airing
ton County. Virginia on November
Z. 1850 and I sincerely hope that
funds will soon thereafter be avail
able to enable corrective action to
be begun on the west side of the
river"
According to r. M. Writ, Airing
tons director of public services,
the county now gives primary
treatment which removes about
33 per cent of the pollution from
5 million gallons of sewage. He
said 6 million gallons flow into the
Potomac River untreated.
The proposed $2,617,000 bond
issue may be increased at Coun-
ty Board meeting tonight, it was
said. Rising costs will make the
increase necessary.

E.P.LeeCharges
Rolls Tampering
By Democrats
County Council Head
Answers Browning
On COP. Registration

A Montgomery County Demo-
cratic leaders charge that County
Council President Frederic P.
Lee once had been registered as a
Republican. brought an immedi-
ate counter-accusation from MIR.
Lee that such a registration could
have resulted only from Demo-
cratic tampering with the books.
The attempt to link Mr.. Lee, q
self-styled, lifelong Democrat,
with the Montgomery Republican
Party was made by Warren
Browning. chairman of the
county's Democratic State Central
Committee.
1t followed Mr.. Lees announce
ment last week that he is sup
porting the six Republican candi-
dates for the Council in the
November election because the
Democratic organization has Con
tinuously fought the county's
home rule program"
Record Is Cited.
In a letter to Mr.. Lee today,
Mr.. Browning said:
1--WE would like to dispute your
assertion that you have been a
lifelong Democrat in view of your
having been registered as a Re-
publican in this county"
Mr.. Browning was supported by
Ward w. Caddington, clerk to the
Board of Election Supervisors and
a member of the Democratic
State Central Committee. Accord
ing to Mr.. Caddington, records
showed Mr.. Lee first registered in
the county as Republican in
September. 1880.
Two years later, Mr.. Cadding-
ton said. Mr.. Lee changed his
party afflliation to Democrat "at
his own request" He added this
entry was certified as correct by
John Jonas. clerk to the board at
that time and by the members of
the Board of Election Supervisors.
Tells of Registration in 1928.
When informed of the state
ments by Mr. Browning and Mr..
Caddington, Mr.. Lee declared:
Il have never authorized any
one anywhere at any time to reg
lister me as anything but a Demo-
crat. If I have ever been shown
as other than a Democrat on any
registration book. it would be be-
cause that book had been tam
pered with by Democratic Of
ficials."
He said he came to Montgom-
cry County in 1919 from New Jer-
sey, where he had been registered
as a Democrat. and that he
changed his registration from
New Jersey to Maryland in 1928.
Any statement that he changed
his party affiliation to Republican
is "a damn ie," he asserted. He
invited reporters to examine
Montgomery's registration books
with him today to prove his con-
tention that they must have been
tampered with" If he is listed as
a Republican in 1880.
Mr.. Lee. a prominent Washing
ton attorney. recalled that he had
first been appointed to public Of
flee in 1919 by the late Champ
Clark. Democratic Speaker of the
House. At that time, he said. he
was named to the legislative coun-
sells Office of the House.
Late in 1882, he added, he was
directed by President-elect Roose-
velt to help prepare the Demo-
cratic farm surplus and farm
credit programs and in 1888 he
served as special counsel to George
N. Peek, agricultural adjustment
administrator.
He said he also was appointed
by the late Gov. Ritchie of Mary
land. Democrat, as special coun-
sci to the State in 1888 and two
years later was named by Gov.
Ritchie to the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
