About 100 tails wagged and one
parakeet flew the coop as the
Tailwaggers' Club of Washington
staged a big pet show on the
parking lot of Woodward and
Lothrop's Bethesda Chevy-C Chase
store yesterday.
About 1000 persons, mostly kids
with their dogs. swarmed over
the area. They competed for
prizes and ribbons in 81 events.
The parakeet, Budgie. picked
the first part of the show to take
off into a thicket near Wisconsin
and Western avenues. Kids and
their pets followed. Budgie
zoomed among the trees, while his
mistress, Anne Morton. 10, of 1901
Cation place NV, poked her finger
into the leaves and called to the
bird.
Budgie finally decided to roost
on the little girls finger and was
dispatched into his broken cage.
The Bethesda-C Chevy Chase Rescue
Squad aided in the rescue and
patched up Budgie's home. He
was recovered in time to win the
title of the most unusual" in the

Dugan 10 Seek
Reelection as
An Independent
Repudiotes Pledge
After FuiIing to Win
In Town Meeting

Daniel A. Dugan announced last
night he will seek reelection to
his unexpired term on the Arling-
ton County Board in spite of his
failure to win the nomination of
the non-partisan town meeting
last Thursday.
Earlier yesterday. Mr.. Dugan
repudiated a pledge given when he
filed for the town meeting nomin-
alton. The pledge said he would
not oppose the candidates elected
by the non-partisan nominating
session. He charged that q ina
chine" within the non-partisan
group blocked his bid.
Mr.. Dugan was one Of three
County Board members ousted
after the Virginia Supreme Court
of Appeals upheld a ruling Of the
Arlington Circuit Court that Fed
eral employees are ineligible to
hold local Of State Office in vir-
Iginia. A special election has been
set for November to I'LL the three
vacancies.
Opposes Back Room Politics"
Mr.. Dugan-who no longer Is
"a Federal employe-said he would
run as an independent for re-
election. He served almost two
years Of a four-year term before
his custer.
II am against back-room politics
regardless Of who practices it, %
Mr.. Dugan declared. 81 have heard
Ia lot of statements but no denials
that the meeting was stacked"
He first charged machine poll
tics in a letter to Edward Hincks,
secretary Of the town meeting.
He repudiated his pledge and re-
signed as a sponsor of the town
meeting in the letter to Mr..
Hincks.
Il feel that honor no longer
requires that I keep my pledge
not to run in the November elec-
tion," MIR. Dugan wrote.
Attacks Meijer's Withdrawal.
The town meeting nominated
Mrs. Martha Cannon, q house.
wife. to seek election for Mr.
Dugan's unexpired term. Prior
to the vote on the candidate for
this vacancy, Robert Meier. q
George Washington University
Physics professor. withdrew from
contest for this posts
After learning that Mr.. Dugar
planned to be a candidate again
Mrs. Cannon said: 1.-THE fact
that Mr.. Dugan is now threaten
ing to break another pledge by
running for the County Board
illustrates why the majority OF
voters at town meeting felt he
should not be their standard
bearer for another term. Our
group has been described as the
conscience of the community
and I entered town meeting
against Mr.. Dugan because I be-
lieve our crusade for good Govern
ment would be strengthened by
his rejection"
In his letter to Mr.. Hincks. Mr..
Dugan wrote. cit was obvious to
me as 1t was to the more than ESQ
citizens who voted for me in town
meeting that the stalking horse
who removed himself from the
race prior to the ballot did so by
Ipre-arrangement."
Mr.. Dugan challenged Mr.
Meier last night to give his rea-
sons for withdrawing from the
contest. He said he was con-
vinced that a meeting was held
prior to the nominating session
at which time the deal was made
to block his nomination for re-
election.
Mr.. Dugan, So, was first elected
to the county board in 1916. He
was the first non-partisan to take
Office. and was reelected in 1850
He was employed by the Federal
Government at the time of both
elections. but subsequently en-
tered private business.

Arlington Rent
Control Facinq
Further Fight
10 Housing Operators
May Appeal Ruling
To Restore Curbs

Federal rent controls return to
Arlington County tomorrow while
new court action is brewing to kill
them.
A suit by 10 large Arlington
housing operators to block the re-
turn Of controlS-ordered by the
rent sterilization director Friday
was dismissed in District Court
yesterday by Judge F. Dickinson
Let's.
This cleared the way for re-
imposition Of controls tomorrow
through next April 80 when the
rent control act dies.
James M. Earnest, attorney for
the housing operators, meanwhile
said he probably would carry the
case to the Emergency Court Of
Appeals which Judge Let's stated
in his decision was the proper
place. Another possibility is an
appeal to the United States Court
of Appeals. Mr.. Earnest said he
would decide tomorrow which
course to follow.
Had Sought Injunction.
The housing operators had
asked q preliminary injunction
against James M. Henderson, Fed
eral rent stabilization director,
prohibiting him from re-imposing
controls in Arlington.
Mr.. Henderson announced Fri
day that a request of the Arling-
ton County Board to re-establish
controls was granted, effective to-
morrow.
Mr.. Henderson'S order rolls
back rent levies to last August /.
He said this does not rule out
individual adjustments. A tenn
porary Office will open tomorrow
at 1882 Wilson boulevard under
the direction Of Maxwell M. Tay-
lor to assist landlords and tenants
with their rental problems. All
rental accommodations subject to-
controls must be registered with
the Office within As days. Con-
trolls do not apply to dwellings
constructed after February /, 1947.
If rent controls had not been
re-establiShed before Wednesday,
the Office Of Rent Sterilization
could not have re-imposed them
after that time. To re-establish
controls after Tuesday, it would
have been necessary for a special
board to characterize Arlington
as a critical housing area.
Decontrolled in 1850.
Arlington was decontrolled to-
gether with most of Virginia by
action Of the States General As
sembly in 1850. Arlington is the
only community in nearby Vir-
ginia to request reimposition of
controls. The request was the last
major action by the non-partisan
controlled County Board before
the three non-partisan members
were removed from Office because
they were Federal employees.
The suit to prevent return of
controls in Arlington was brought
by Colonial Village Apartments,
Inc; Glebe Apartments, Inc;
Lyon Properties, Inc: Fairmac
Corp: First Buckingham Commu-
nifty. Inc, Westover, Inc; Pollard
Gardens. Inc: Glebe Court Apart
ments: Lee Gardens. Inc, and
Glenayr Apartments.
Judge Let's held that his court
was without Jurisdiction to hear
the controversy. He said juris-
diction is placed by statute ex-
clusively with the Emergency
Court Of Appeals.

in Western Europe. Both he and
the advisers who surround him
are convinced that Americas
security and survival depend
almost entirely on keeping West
ern Europe supplied with what
ever she needs. Gen. Eisen-
hover. who in his annual report
last March mildly scolded our
continental allies for dragging
their feet, is convinced, how
ever. that our present approach
is the right one and believes our
allies can be coaxed eventually
into forming a hard core of re-
siStance which alone can dis
courage the men in the Krem-
lin.
Senator Taft's philosophy, as
much as can be gathered from
his many public statements, is
that his opponents have put the
cart before the horse. He be-
lieves that as soon as America
has a sufficiently powerful Air
Force and becomes once more
economically stable, Moscow will
lose its present cockiness and
the Red Damocles' sword will be
removed from over the heads
Of the free nations.
Senator Taft'S supporters say
he has the realistic approach to
the problem. They point out
that our European allies have
not done their share despite
the vast sums and other type
assistance they have received
from us.
Gen. Matthew Ridgway's blunt
statement at Oslo last Tuesday
is, they maintain, a perfect il
lustration of their contention
that Europe is painfully slow
in responding to our urgings to
speed up it's military prepared
ness. With the exception Of
Britain, which has lived up to
her commitments and today has
no less than four first class
combat divisions in Germany,
the allies have done little in the
last three years to increase their
military capabilities. The much
vaunted 10 French combat divi-
sions exist mostly in official
statements. Actually France
has three and a half good battle
ready divisions in Germany but
the rest are not fully trained
or equipped.
Moreover, the rivalry between
France and Germany still is
nearly as strong as it was be-
fore the last war. The French

In the Name Of Fairness, Too
Churchrs knowledge Of U. S. Voter Shown in Warning
To Commons to Stop Verbal Attacks as Bad Politics
Constantine Brown:

Prime Minister Churchill last
Tuesday warned the Laborite
members of Commons-and
some Of his own Conservatives.
too-against the continuation Of
attacks against the United
States. He did this not only in
the name Of fairness-since. Mr..
Churchill admitted, we have
shown unprecedented patience
and forbearance IN the Korean
war-but also because it was bad
politics.
The Prime Minister reminded
the Commons that we have just
entered an important political
campaign in which Americas
role in foreign affairs will take
precedence over domestic mat
ters. If the relentless attacks
against this country were to
continue during the Republi-
can convention at Chicago and
throughout the campaign, Mr..
Churchill admonished. the Amer
ican people might become
angered and elect a man who
would revise our policy Of as
sistance to Britain and West
ern Europe.
The American political battle
at the conventions and during
the campaign has become top
news in every country across
the Atlantic. Guarded state
ments from political leaders in
Western Europe, from Britain
to Germany, have already indi-
Gated that these men would by
far prefer Gen. Eisenhower as
the Republican nominee and
are worried about the stand of
Senator Taft. They all realize
that election Of the latter would
not mean a complete departure
from our present policy Of eco
nomic and military assistance to
the NATO countries and support
Of their efforts to stem COM
munism in Asia. But they sus-
pect that the Republican Sen
ator would be less open-handed
than his Democratic predeces-
sor. And they think he would
insist at least on a much closer
correlation between the inter-
ests Of the United States and
those of Western Europe, with
special emphasis on Asia. The
same European leaders are said
to feel that should Eisenhower
be elected, our present commit
ments would undergo only some
very minor rectif1cation.

campaign fodder for the Demo-
Gratis.
Senator Taft is CHANGING it
that a victory obtained through
his control of the National Com
mittee and convention machin-
cry may not prove worth hav-
ing. The Eisenhower people can
bank on it that if they fail
here and the Senator does go
on to victory next November,
it will profit them practically
nothing personally. This is
not shaping up as the kind of
fight where everybody shakes
hands after it's over.
So far, the Taft forces are
having things all their own way.
They have tossed the General a
bone or two but nothing really
nourishing. They showed their
hand in the ban on television
and radio coverage of the ma
tional committee hearings on
delegate contests. Although
Senator Taft says he was agree
able to such coverage, none of
his major supporters voted for it
and they have never crossed him
before.
Their spirit was even more
clearly manifested in the choice
of speakers at the convention.
The list includes Senator Nc
Carthy, who is anathema to
Gen. Eisenhower's principal
hackers. Only two avowed
Eisenhower men, neither really
prominent, are on it.
Eisenhower spokesmen pro-
fess to be unworried by the
shellacking they are taking.
Their argument runs as follows:
1.-THE delegates are getting the
full brunt Of all this back home.
They understand better than
most how the national commit
tee, body not elected by the

"Our Government agencies"
continued Senator McCarran,
have been infiltrated by per-
sons whose allegiance is with
Communist Russia. Our official
secrets have been barred to
agents of the Soviet; loyal and
sincere men have been driven
from their diplomatic posts;
and, under the cloak Of public
office, messages have been
written and words spoken that
have tended to weaken this
Nations position in world
affairs"
Many of the Communists who
played a part in the institute
of Pacific relations are not well
known and the significance of
their work is in their contacts
with the State Department and
in places where American policy
in the Far East was shaped.
There are charges also that such
help as was being pledged to the
Nationalist government was sab
otaged inside the American Gov
ernment.
The report has already led to
indignant denials and emphatic
declarations of innocence by
both Messrs. Davies and Latti-
more. Incidentally, baltimore
is referred to in the report as
a conscious, articulate instru-
ment of the Soviet conspiracy"
Mr.. Davies has disclosed that
the Justice Department already
had looked into his case and
felt that there was no basis for
action. Mr.. baltimore says the
transcript Of the record will
show that he didn't contradict
himself. And so the contro-
versy goes. But somehow China
was lost to the West and there
are plenty of documents which
show that many persons-be-
sides baltimore and Davies
Influenced the State Department
in the making Of Far East pol
icy.
It Is more important for the
country to know what happened
in the State Department than
to be concerned at this time
merely with the names of the
many individuals who. through
the Institute Of Pacific Re-
lations. helped to bring about
the failure Of American policy
in China.

Doris Fleeson:

CHICAGO, July 3.-Thou
shalt not steal.
Upon this commandment the
Eisenhower forces pin their
hopes of winning the Repub-
lican nomination for the pre-
sidency.
They are building a great
political drama around it with
the contested Southern dele
cations as their materials. The
show will go on to the last
moment of decision by the dele
gates themselves.
For the first time, a grim de-
termination equal to that dis
played by the Taft forces is
evident in the Eisenhower
camp. Senator Taft charges
that Gov. Dewey is running
Ike's show now; the New York
er has certainly contributed
some of his well-trained opera
tives, Herbert Brownell, Jim
Hagerty and others. It could
be that the new spirit. as ruth
less as the Senator's own. is
Tom Dewey's as much as it is
the Generals, maybe more.
We shall know more about
that when the General starts
his whistle stops. In any case.
politics is a tough game in the
clinches; the Taft forces have
never apologized for playing
rough and now it appears that
they are about to meet q will
as strong as their own.
Both sides are taking big
chances, for the party and for
themselves.
For the party. they are risk
ing defeat in November. A
fight for the nomination on the
issue of honesty will make an
impression upon the voter not
easy to remove. It is ideal
