z Men Arrested
In Alexandria
Mailbag Theft
D. c. Pair Captured
Less Than 2 Hours
After Box-Lootinq

Two District men were arrested
yesterday in a Fairfax County
restaurant and charged with mail
robbery, less than two hours after
IA bag of mail was stolen from an
Alexandria street corner.
Charged with the theft are Ger
aid Craig FeaganS, "a, of the 5000
block Crawford street NE, and
Robert Lee johnson, 81. of the
1900 block E street Sc.
The men will be arranged at a
hearing today in the Office of

ley King, in Alexandria.
Arrested In Cafe.
Half-a-dozen Fairfax policemen
arrested the two men as they were
eating in Tyson's Corner
restaurant. They were spotted by
Police Pvts. Richard c. Wahl and
Donald S. Hurst, who recognized
a car parked in front of the
restaurant as the one repeatedly
used in the robbery.
The mailbag was hanging from
a letter box in the 5000 block of
Gunston road. Roy A. Durand,
so. of 3633 Gunston road, said
that at about l pm. he saw a man
step from a parked car, cut the
rope holding the mailbag and
then leap into the car as it sped
away. He furnished police with
a description of the two men and
the car.
The mail was scheduled for de-
livery in the Parkfairfax area.
The letter box is the usual pick
UP station for the route man de-
livering in that area.
Police said Feagans admitted
his part in the theft and agreed
to guide postal authorities to the
spot where the mailbag was
thrown from the car. The mail
had not been recovered late last
night.
Other Similar Thefts.
Post Office inspectors said they
hope to clear up a series of SINH
lar thefts in the District and
nearby Virginia with arrest of
several other persons implicated
by the two men. They predicted
the arrests would be made today.
The practice of mail distribu-
tors is to throw one end of the
mailbag cords into the letter box,
slam the door and lock it, leaving
the bag firmly attached to the
letter box.
The mailbag thefts have been
occurring near the end of the
month, when thousands of Gov
ernment pay and pension checks

Doctors Asked
To Boost Goal
In Chest Drive
Quote Put at $37,S50
In D. 6. Call to Set
Pottern for Success

District doctors have been asked
to raise $3.50 more for the 1853
Community Chest -USO Campaign
than they pledged last, year.
DR.. Raymond T. Holden. chair
man of the physicians group in
the campaign, called on the med
ical men to "set a pattern for
success" in an editorial in the
october issue of Medical Annals.
"We want the other groups to
say of us. If the doctors can do
it every year, we can. too.'" DR..
Holden wrote.
Exceeded Quota Last Year.
He pointed out that last year
the physicians attained ia per
cent of their quota. The quota
this year is $37.850.
DR.. Holden listed the le basic
services provided by Red Feather
agencies in the area:
Adoption services, hospital care,
clinic care, care for the aged, care
for the homeless and neglected
children, day care for children of
working mothers, care for unmar-
ried mothers. mental health serv-
ices, nursing care in the home.
emergency direct relief, marriage
counseling. counseling on personal
and family problems, health edu-
cation, rehabilitation of the phys
ically handicapped. recreation
services for youth development
and services to the armed forces.
He noted that five of the serv-
ices are entirely medical and
health projects, and virtually all
the others are close to the field
of medicine.
Medicine Not All, He Says.
While many doctors are giving
time and talents to the agencies.
"even the best medicine will not
avail if we cannot offer these un-
fortunates food, shelter and care,
counsel and guidance. and these
services require money. and a lot
of it, from all of u.s." DR.. Holden
wrote.
He also made the point that
"for us to go back to the 102
individual pass-the-hat solicita-
ton to continue these needed COM
munity services would be like 60
ing back to horse-and-buggy med
icine." =.
The doctors quota is part Of a
$158,433 objective for the pro-
feSsional group. The campaign
seeks an overall goal Of $4,15O, 900
in the area.
AS of the latest official report.
80 per cent of the goal has been
raised.

and asked if he could have a IS
bill in return.
Miss Davis handed him the five,
but before she had a chance to
take the five ones, Turner said he
had changed his mind and wanted
a $40 bill for the lot.
Clerk Is Confused.
BY that time Miss Davis was too
confused to realize she had not
yet picked up the five 81 bills.
She handed over the $40 to the
smiling. Turner. who patted hei
on the shoulder and advised her
as he walked out the door, "You
had better count your change"

Sparkman Bids
For Maryland
Votes Today
Only Appearance
In Stute Will Be
At Cumberland
By Alex R. Preston
Ster Stoff Correspondent

CUMBERLAND. Md, Oct. 18.-
Senator Sparkman of Alabama
today completed the list of big
four candidates to invade Mary
land in a bid for nine electoral
votes.
It has been a great many years
since all four of the standard bear
ers of both parties have waged
such a battle in Maryland for a
relatively small electoral harvest.
Senator Sparkman. the Demo-
cratic vice presidential nominee,
f1eW to Cumberland to make an
address in the Town Square. With
the Cumberland Industrial Expo
sition now in progress. State
Democratic leaders arranged for
a prominent labor leader to intro
duce the candidate. He is Play
ford Aldridge, president of Local
1874. CIO Textile Workers Union
of America.
Stevenson to Return.
Gen. Eisenhower and Senator
Nixon already have carried the
Republican campaign into Mary
land. Gov. Stevenson, who de-
livered a major address in Balti-
more September %. is planning a.
return trip October 81. At that
time, the Illinois Governor will
stop here and at Silver Spring att
1880 am. with a rear PLATFORM
talk at Martinsburg, w. Va, in
between.
The visits to this Western Mary
land territory indicate serious at
tempts by the Democrats to win
votes in an area which is tradi-
tlonally Republican. There is al
possibility that the Republicans
may get either Gen. Eisenhower or
Senator Nixon to make one more
return visit before November 4.
Despite it's relatively small size
Maryland is regarded by national
headquarters of both parties asI
doubtful and a plum worth fight
ing for.
Barkley to Speak.
The Democrats are unlimberingI
more big guns before the ballotingI
starts Vice President Barley
will make televised address to-
night in Baltimore and Senator
Kefauver of Tennessee will speak
In Baltimore next Saturday.
Senator Dirksen of Illinois has ap-
peared here and on the Eastern
Shore for the Republicans and the
Democrats are bringing Senator
Monroney of Oklahoma to Sails
bury on Monday.
Senator Sparkman was to make
a two hour and ten minute stop
here after winding up the Demo-
cratic campaign in central and
western Pennsylvania yesterday
where he struck out at prosper
tty" under Republican administra-
tions He was to leave here for
Philadelphia to speak tonight at
$100-a-plate dinner.
Baltimore's Mayor Thomas
D'Alesandro, who is national COM
mitteeman from Maryland, and
other Democratic leaders came
here to meet Senator Sparkman.
George P. Mahoney of Baltimore,
candidate for the Senate. and
Mrs. Stella B. Werner of Chevy
Chase candidate for the House
from the 9Th District, were to
speak from the same platform
with Senator Sparkman.
The two Maryland candidates
have been campaigning in West
ern Maryland for the last two
days. Mrs. Werner's opponent,
State Senator Dewitt c. Hyde,
Republican, of Bethesda, also is
here campaigning at the Cumber-
land Industrial Exposition.
