Stiff Contest
Marks Election
In Alexandra
Tug-of-Wor Develops
Between Buckers of
Clarke and Donovan

The Alexandria Democratic
Committee election has developed
into a stiff tug-of -wag between
supporters of State Senator An
drew w. Clarke and his political
foe, John A. K. Donovan.
Mr.. Donovan is seeking the
Democratic nomination for Mr..
Clarke's Senate seat from the dis
trict that includes Fairfax, Falls
Church, Prince William and Alex
andria.
At least II of the 81 Alexandria
committee candidates are counted
by Clarke and Donovan campaign
leaders as members of one or the
other camp.
Only IL committeeman - two
from each of the city's six wards
- are to be chosen in Tuesdays
primary balloting.
Interest Is Unusual.
1t is the first time in recent
years that there has been any
fuss over Democratic committee
election in Alexandria. Party
leaders used to have trouble find
ing anyone willing to accept ap-
pointment to the committee after
vacancies remained untitled in the
regular elections.
Such lethargy gave anti-organ-
ization party members an oppor-
tunlty to take over the committee
control three years ago. Since
then, they have brought new life
TO the committee-fostered a get
out-the-vote movement, sponsored
party functions and taken stands
on important local political issues.
This same faction, which in
this election is supporting Mr.
Donovan, claims nine of the city
committee candidates. They are
Mrs. Dorothy H. Kabler, Edward
w. Alfriend w, Mrs. Jay Waltz,
Miss Marie v. Downey, Miss
Camille DeLane, Mrs. Edith
Warne. James Suit, j. r. Sheads
and Patrick Hayes.
The Clarke campaigners list
their committee candidates as:
Thomas Moncure, DR.. G. w.
Bogikes, Talbot Sinclair, Charles
S. Sherwood, Mrs. Virginia L.
Acton, Aubrey Matter, c. Ray
mond Hellmuth and George
Boteler.
Sidlights Interesting.
The committee contest has had
a few interesting sidelights to help
attract the voters interest. The
name of Mrs. Walz' husband was
, included on the ballot mistakenly
for hers, and the name of Nor
man Barnheimer was retained on
the ballot although he withdrew
. from the race.
Election officials explained that
the Mrs" had been dropped from
Jay Walz." leaving what actually
is the name Of her husband. They
feel that Mrs. Walz will be en-
titled to committee membership.
however, if the Walz name gets
enough votes.
AS for Mr.. Bernheimer's name,
election officials said he withdrew
after his name already had been
placed on the ballot.
Each ward will vote for it's own
two committee members. A list of
the candidates by wards follows:
First Ward-Mrs. Walz, Miss
IDowney, Mr.. Matter and Ray
mond A. Gallagher.
Second Ward-Mr. Sinclair, Mrs.
Warne and Mrs. Virginia G.
Young.
Third Ward Mr.. Hellmuth,
Mr.. Suit and Mr.. Sheads.
Fourth Ward-Mrs. Margaret F..
Bailey, DR.. Bogikes, Mr.. Alfriend
and Mrs. Kabler.
/ Fifth Ward-Mr. Sherwood. Mr..
Hayes. Mrs. Acton and Mr.. Mon

Sixth Ward-Mr. Boteler, Miss

it must be some pleasant mo-

bait. Pick any of the bridges from
Tavenier to Key West and begin
couple of days and a night of
fishing and complete enjoyment.
A couple of days is suggested if
you are the rugged type and love
sleeping in the open where the
air is fresh and the gentle splash
of the sea against the shore lulls
you to sleep. At the crack of dawn
you are up brewing coffee and
frying fish for breakfast. If you
are not a big fish eater at home,
the salt air and cool mornings will
surprise you at the number of
fish you can devour during the
course of a fish fry at the keys.
After breakfast you hustle up
on the bridge and again thrill to
the strikes of the mangrove

few weeks agone 49-year-old
man lost his right foot as result

session with the bottle. He dropp-
ed off to sleep this black might
and his foot Slipped from the

pot i'm which he had lighted "a fire
to combat the cold temperature.
Since then we've been wondering
how can a man get that drunk
and obIivious to the apparent in
tense pain during the process OF
his foot being barbecued. Seeing
as how he didn't realize what a
catastrophe was going on while
he nodded, our conjecture is that
he was quite surprise when he
got up the next morning and
heard the sickening thud of the
stump pounding on the floor, and
he maS quite surprised when he
probably said, Look, No Foot!"
We were contemplating trying
out an experiment by getting
good and "soused" ON the cheapest
brand of wine, and, with the aid
of an accomplice have my foot
put into a bucket of hot Goals.
The results were to be that if !
let out a blood curdling scream,
then there is some truth to being

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-(Rl-

The demand for the release OF
the American airmen was drafted
at once in Washington. And il

IL Hungary rejects the demand,
as is expected, that country may
