1OO-Year-0 Old House Burns
To Ground in Lanham

A 100-year-old Colonial-style
house in Lanham, Md, burned to
the ground today despite the ef-
forts Of seven Prince Georges
County fire companies.
Known in Lanham as the "Old
White House." it was on Princess
Garden road.
Firemen said no one was in the
house when the blaze broke out
about noon. They said it is owned
by Paul Maddox, who lives in a
trailer on the property and rents
the home to a Mrs. Edith Lewis
and her husband.
The house had eight rooms on
two floors and was distinguished
by large Colonial columns sup
porting the front porch.
Firemen were handicapped by
lack OF water. They found a pond
about a half-mile away and pre-
vented the flames from spreading
to nearby homes.

cided whether to appeal Judge

hover and are going to join in
doing everything we can to get

Judge Cherry received about 91,-
600 votes. allowing Gov. McMath
only about a 5000 vote margin
to lead the five-man field.
The Governor accused Judge
Cherry of having no program, o1
hiding behind "shySter lawyers
and Florida promoters" who
screened talkathon questions, OF
planning to abandon farm-to-
market road building, of referring
to Gov. McMath's private life by
"innuendo" and of being sup

DENVER, Aug. 12.-Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower says "the outlook
is not too bright" for a durable
world peace unless Americans
gain a thorough understanding of
the complex problems involved.
The Republican presidential
nominee told a news conference
late yesterday he'll touch on the
subject in every campaign speech.
"The great subject Of peace and
how to obtain it," the general de-
clared. "overshadows all other
subjects because it affects all
Others"
But efforts Of newsmen to draw
out details Of Gen. Eisenhower's
campaign plans got nowhere. The
G. o. p. standard bearer did say
he expects to speak in Philadel-
phia-but that no date has been
set. He repeated he will campaign
in traditionally Democratic Dixie.
And. in response to a question,
he said no speech yet has been
scheduled for Labor Day.
Talks With Southerners.
Gen. Eisenhower indicated, how
ever, that plans may be completed
after a current round Of confer
enceS.
Yesterday he met with South
ern hackers and with Republican
farm leaders in Congress. Last
night Arthur E. Summerfield, ma
tional G. o. P. chairman, flew in
with what aides said was a pro-
posed itinerary for the next 80
days.
Harold Stassen is scheduled to
arrive tonight and to have lunch
tomorrow with Gen. Eisenhower.
One of those on the appoint
ments list today was Allen Kline,
president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation.
Reports Agreement.
Newsmen questioned Gen. Eli
senhower about his conference
with eight members of the House
and Senate Agriculture Commit
tees.
I'VE found ourselves in very
general agreement" the general
declared.
He added that a statement
issued by the lawmakers would
speak for him, saying, I'm not
stating in advance of the cam

The Congressman said in their
statement that Gen. Eisenhower
lis going to present positive, for

also outlined no specific farm pol
icy. One, however, Senator Young,
Republican of North Dakota, said
Gen. Eisenhower told them he IA
vors continuing some form of price
supports for farm products.
Says G. o. p. Can Do Better.
For peace, Gen. Eisenhower de-
clared. the need is for something
positive and constructive" The
world situation will, he added,
"deteriorate without a positive ap-
'proach."

to put myself in a position Of be-
ing a Messiah but I think the Re-
publican Party can do the better
