Carpenters Back on Job
In Arlington After Dispute

Carpenters who failed to report
for work at two Arlington school
construction projects yesterday
have gone back to work.
E. j. Braun, assistant superin-

failed to report yesterday morning
because of a dispute over whether
the School Board should contrib

Residents of the Bellevue For

all the sewage from homes in the

the nearby stream. which runs
along Thirtieth street.
This condition. they say, creates

Democrats 10 Indorse
Wright, Pearson for
Board, Chew Predicts

Endorsement by Arlington Dem
ocrats tonight Of two candidates
for the Arlington County Board
will be a mere formality because
party leaders already have decided
who will be named, F. Freeland
Chew said today.
Mr.. Chew, himself a Democrat
and candidate for reelection to
the board, predicted that the Ar
Ilington Democratic Executive
Committee will indorse Carroll
Wright. real estate man, and
Wade Pearson, manager of the
Iater chain.
Bach Is Fourth Candidate.
The fourth Democratic candi-
date is Fred w. Bach, who was de-
feated in last years County Board
race.
Those Endorsed by the subcom-
mittee will have the party bless
ing but will not be designated on
voting machines as the official
Democratic candidates. The
Democrats did not enter candi-
dates for the board in the recent
party primary.
Leonard O. Hilder, new Execu-
tive Committee chairman, said
that official nominees could be
designated by a primary. mass
meeting or convention.
Mr.. Chew charged that a SUBJ
committee of the Executive Com
mittee is 'just a front" and that
its examination of the qualif1ca-
ltions of the candidates will have
jno bearing on the party's selec-
ton of the two candidates to be
Endorsed.
''In view of everything that's
happened around the courthouse
in recent months, I feel entitled
to have all the people of Arling-
ton vote on my candidacy" Mr..
Chew said.
Malfeasance Charge Cleared.
Last June, Mr.. Chew and an
other board member, Daniel A.
Dugan, were cleared of charges
of malfeasance in office. Mr..
IDugan's term runs three more

"A. Holmes reported compliance
with price control here so far is
generally satisfactory.
But he warned this Is a lull
period, with the greatest military
production yet to come, along with
shortages and imitation pressure.
He urged the committee to help
District residents understand the
need to prevent imitation.
Edward p. Morgan. OPS ma
tional enforcement chief, told the
group Congress has strangled
OPS enforcement work with Grip
Ipling amendments to the new con-
trolls law.
He cited, in particular, the elm
ination of slaughter quotas on
beef, asserting that "it has taken
from us one of the administrative
devices best designed to forestall
widespread black markets in
meats"
Budget Cut Protested.
! Mr.. Morgan also protested the
recent budget cut voted by the
House. declaring it means true
crisis for enforcement and that
OPS probably will have to fire
some of its employees because of
pit. He criticized the House for
taking the action by voice vote
instead of on the record.
/ Mr.. Morgan urged the group to
help in 'arousing the great in
coherent mass of our people" to
the dangers of imitation and the
necessity of stringent enforce
ment.

g Mr.. Xanten said the division
has inspectors out watching the
men, and some of the junk deal
ing has been halted. But it still
goes on.
The trash collection job, he
added, is one of the most sought
after in the division, because OF
the extra money the men can
earn selling junk.
Also. he said, they occasionally
get a handout from housewives
a tie, shoes or other clothing. At
Christmas time, the trash collec-
tors make a little extra noise when
they're collecting-and it brings
the desired result.

bage collector.

BeaII Plans Race
For O'Conor's
Senate Seat
Representative Says
IT Looks Like Spot
For Some One to Win
By J. l.. Michael
Siar Sioff Correspondent

MARSHALL HALL PARK, Md,
Aug. %. - Representative Beall,
Republican, plans to run for the
seat Of Senator O'Connor, Demo-
crat. in next years Maryland elec-
tion campaign.
The 9Th District Member of
Congress. who came here yester-
day to watch a jousting tourna-
ment and perhaps spear a few
votes for himself, left little doubt
of his intentions in talk with
a reporter after the days events.
"It looks like a spot for-well,
some one. to win seat in the
Senate" he grinned as he shook
hands with farmers and their
wives. There was no baby kissing
yet, however.
"In case I should entertain the
idea," the Western Marylander
conjectured, there appears to be
little likelihood of primary COM
petition"
Radcliffe, BuShOng Mentioned.
"And as for the Democrats, it
looks like roadblocks are ahead
for Senator O'Conor, if he de-
cideS to run again. There is, for
instance, former Senator George
Radcliffe, long a popular figure.
and, perhaps, Washington Coun-
tvs one time State Senator
Stewart Bushong, who I under
stand is being groomed by former
Coy. Lane"
Representative Beall was ac-
companied by Charles County's
Republican State Senator James
B. Monroe who has been urged to
try for the 5th District Congress
sional seat of Representative
Sasscer, Democrat.
THAT looks like a spot, too, -
Senator Monroe observed. He
would not commit himself fur
ther, but his friends say he is
considering the idea.
Backers of Mr.. Beall claim he
would have the support of Gov.
McKeldin and that of Representa-
tive Miller on the Eastern Shore,
along with Deeley K. Nice, Balti-
more COP leader. They think that
would deter other aspirants from
entering a primary fight.
Republicans believe Senator
O'Conor has weakened his chances
by accepting the Craftsmanship of
the Senate Crime Investigating
Committee. They are awaiting a
threatened blast from Gov. War
ren of Florida. which they think
will contribute to that factor. SEN
ator O'Conor and Gov. Warren
have argued over the question of
whether the Florida executive is
to testify before the Crime Com
mittee.
Those who have urged Senator
Monroe to file for the 5th district
seat point out that he has served
in the Maryland Senate and House
of Delegates and on the Legisla-
tive Council. He also is chairman
of the party's Steering Commit
tee.
They concede, however. that it
may be no easy matter to get
COP leaders to agree on a candi-
date in order to prevent a pri-
mary battle.
