Traffic Lights Asked
In College Park Area

Residents Of the northern end
of College Park are convinced
more than ever today of the need
for traffic lights in their Sec
ton Of the Washington Baltimore
boulevard.
They conducted their own
traffic survey at two different
points along the heavily-traveled
highway. Led by members of the
Hollywood Elementary School
Parent-Teacher Association, the
residents counted cars on the
boulevard from 6 am. until mid
night.
They hope the survey will in

Commission into installing a light
at Edgewood road and the boule-
ward, northern limit of College
Park, and a temporary light at
Cherry Hill road.
Previously. the town, through
its mayor and council, had asked
the State Roads Commission to
provide the lights. The agency,
however, indicated there was no
need for them but promised to
make a survey.
Yesterday. the citizens decided
to conduct the survey themselves.
They'll forward the results to the
State Roads Commission and, &C

survey team, they'll take it to

The lights are sought by resi-

Mr.. Mah0ney, although bearing
public Endorsements from the city
and county leaders, has risen to
political fame by fighting the
Democratic organization. He en-
tered politics at the top instead
|of rising through the ranks.
This was in 1850 when the sue
cessful building contractor but
politically unknown entered the
Democratic primary against Gov.
Lane, the organization favorite.
Mr.. Mahoney waged such a bitter
contest, charging deals and ma
chine politics. that many of the
Democratic leaders blamed him
for splitting the party wide open.
making possible Gov. McKeldin' S
Republican victory in November.
The same thing happened this
year when Representative Sasscer
dean of Maryland's congressional
delegation, was the object of a
particularly rough assault. Mr..
lMahoney charged graft and cor
Iruption existed in Mr.. Sasscer's
home county of Prince Georges
and linked his opponents name
with an alleged veterans housing
scandal" in Southern Maryland.
To Vote Straight Ticket.
Both Mr.. Lane and Mr. Sasscer
say they will vote the straight
Democratic ticket next month.
However. at rallies Mr.. Sasscer's
reference to Mr.. Mahoney is polite
and that's ell. He appears TO speak
with more enthusiasts for che
candidate for the House and the
national ticket. And last week,
while campaigning in Hagers-
town. Mr.. Mahoney. was barred
from passing out his campaign
literature at the Fairchild Aircraft
Corp. of which Mr.. Lane is a
director.
The 51-year-old candidate has
campaigned strongly for the Ste
venSon-Sparkman ticket although
he does not follow the Truman ad-
ministration's policies down the
line.
Operates Farm.
Mr.. Mahoney built up a pros
porous Baltimore paving contract
ing firm. He was born the 1Ith
and youngest child of a Baltimore
policeman.
He attended public and paro-
chial schools and his first job was
carrying water for sand hogs
building New York's subways. He
Started his contracting business by
purchasing two surplus trucks at
Aberdeen Proving Ground.
He operates a 325-acre grain
and dairy farm at Owings Mills.
In 1940, his personal friend, Sen
ator O'Conor, then Governor, ap-
pointed him to the State Racing
Commission. He headed the COM
mission from 1914 to 1946 during
which time he takes credit for
cleaning up race tracks.
Gov. Lane fired him in 1947,
probably explaining the nature of
the primary campaign that fol-
lowed.

Mr.. Beall, So, is completing his
fifth term as a member of the
House from the 9Th (Western
Maryland) District.
In contrast to the Democratic
primary. his f1ve-way primary
contest was quiet indeed. He came
out of it with a clear majority,
with $4,000 votes, compared with
less than $4,000 for his other four
opponents combined.
Mr.. Beall undoubtedly is strong
est in his own 9Th District. the
second most populous in the
State. He also is expected to make
a strong showing on the Eastern
Shore where Representative Mil
Ter. also seeking reelection. has
given him strong support.
The former Mahoney-Sasscer
feud could work to his advantage
in the 5th (Southern Maryland)
District also. In that area Mr..
SaSscer was undisputed ruler and
had the support of nearly all the
Democrats and most of the Re-
publicanS. There are many of his
friends who resent the type of
campaign conducted by MIR. Ma
honey. OF these, an undetermined
number may vote for Mr.. Beall,
or. at least, they won't vote for
Mr.. Mahoney. -
Aided by McKeldin.
But Mr.. Beall's greatest asset
is the active campaigning on his
behalf by Gov. McKeldin, a
proven vote-getter. The Governor
showed he had a firm grip on
his party's organization, both in
the primary and in developments
since then.
Republicans are encouraged by
the inroads they have made in
registration figures this year.
While only $1,000 voted in their
primary two years ago, 100000
turned out last May. The most
optimistic Republicans claim that
If Gen. Eisenhower carries Balti-
more City, MIR. Beall will ride in
on the wave.
Defended Mccarthy.
In addition to making en-
thusiastic appeals for the Eisen-
hower-Nixon ticket. Mr.. Beall
recently came to the defense Of
controversial colleague. Senator
Mccarthy of Wisconsin.
Speaking earlier this month at
Leonardtown. the candidate said
Senator Mccarthy deserves the
praise of all Americans for tx-
posing Communists.
Maybe his approach IS wrong"
Mr.. Beall went on, "but for my
part I commend him for the
splendid Job he has done IN bring
ing to light people who would
destroy our Government"
Mr.. Beall runs an insurance
and real estate business in his
native Frostburg, in the far
Western end of the State. He
served in the Maryland Senate
from 1880 to 1884.

In Shuttle as Senate
Rivals HurI Charges
BY the Associated Press


Maryland's Democratic and Re-
publican senatorial nominees
ended last night in a tumble OF
words over which could be heard
shouts of II do" and II don't"
The appearance over WMAR OF
Republican j. Glenn Beall and
his opponent, George P. Mahoney
did little to shed light on the
campaign but provided a world
of entertainment for viewers of
the "face-to-face" series featur-
ing opposing political candidates
Because neither man seemed
able to get in answers to the
others questions. they agreed to
continue their debate later. on
our own time"
Scrap Continues to Rage.
However, the candidates con-
tinued scrapping in the studio
after the televised show had
ended.
A reporter who was present for
the program said Mr.. Mahoney
turned to Mr.. Beall and said.
1--we ruined you tonight"
Mr.. Beall replied. you've made
me-"
The reporter continued:
For a moment it looked like
the political scrap might turn
more serious, but aides to both
men laid on restraining hands.
One assistant commented, There's
a reporter here, and the two can
didates separated :"
The exceedingly lively telecast
started off smoothly enough with
each man taking three minutes
to make a statement. The shout
ing came later.
Administration Raped.
Mr.. Beall, opening the program,
catigated the administration for
yielding to the influence of mink
coats" and for not realizing that
"the Alger Hiss" in our Govern
ment are not phantoms.
Mr.. Mahoney, in his opening
statement, said he was answering
questions posed him by Mr.. Beall
and came out for Gov. Stevenson,
stating there "is only one DEM
ocratic party. and I am q Demo-
crat."
The fireworks started during
the debating processes which fol-
lowed the statements when Mr..
Mahoney asked BeaH why he
voted to cut the funds for, schools
is it true. did you speak
only 28 minutes on the floor dur.
ing the 10 years you were in the
House? And what about your
absentee and voting record?"
George. you're dealing in half
truths Mr.. Beall retorted. That's
the same way you were when you
ran against former Gov. Lane and
Representative Sasscer. You deal
only in half truths
MY voting record is one of
the best in the House." he de-
clared.
Mr.. Mahoney then asked:
"Why did you try to slip
through bill in the closing days
of Congress to give the Wilmer
Engineering Co. in Baltimore a
quarter million dollar claim after
it already had been turned down
by the court of claims?"
Answer Lost in Hub b-bub.
Mr.. Beall's answer was lost in
the splatter of words that fol-
lowed from both candidates.
The 15-minute program was ex-
tended few minutes by the sta
tion after the shouting started,
but it never settled into coherent
debate from the time of the spir-
tied dispute until the station left
the air.
After the television program,
Mr.. Beall issued a statement de-
claring, II am surprised that Ma
honey can hold his head up among
the people of this State and con-
tradict himself so many times on
so many issues"

intelligence sources say the Baltic
Sea area, now the scene of Rus
sian maneuvers, is one of the most
strategic and heavily guarded in
the world. This is where the Rus
SLAMS stage their most secret ex-
periments with new rockets and W
bombs. Here also the Russians have
taken over the important East
German laboratories and factories
at Peenemuende and Warnemuende
where Hitler manufactured many of
his most secret weapons.
In addition, Russia is reported to
have more naval officers and men
on full time today than the US,
which supposedly has the biggest
navy in the world. The Soviet now
has about four times as many SUBJ

one more cruiser.

Most of the fishermen, usually Swed-

Congressman Barden of North

Tiffin-Calvert To Invade
True-Lay Field Friday:
Classed AS Formidable Foe

With three fairly thorough
trouncings behind them, Port Clin-
toms Redskins do not have a too
cheerful outlook on their encoun-
ter with Tiffin-Calvert at True-Lay
Field this Friday night.
The Reds battle with Sylvania,
did not come out according to
plan, as the early dope had it that
both teams were evenly matched
And by the same token, there can
scarcely be any plan for handling
Tiffin, except remedying Port
Clinton's ailing receiving techni-
que, and devising wingfeet for the
tackles. This the boys embarked
on early in the week, and how they
will make out Friday, is anybody's
guess, but Coach Joe Lukac is con-
fident that the time has come for
change in the fortunes. Of the
Redskins.
Very few complaints were heard
about last weeks game, because
Port Clinton played from the bot
tom of its heart. The Reds show
ed stamina, not revealed in earlier
this season. Without that spirit,
Port Clinton could have been beat
en- 40 to 0 last Friday.
The fact that Ashland blanked
out Tiffin-Calvert 1870 last Friday
should be heartening to the Red
skins this week.

Setting new high for syste-
matte fumbling, Port Clinton's
Redskins had difficulty in getting
into the game against Sylvania's
Burnhams here Friday night.
The visitors had been reckoned
as evenly matched and Port Clin-
ton was figured by many to have
the edge, but it was Immediately
apparent early in the first quarter
that the dopesters didn't figure
fully on swivel-hipped Larry Zbin-
den, Sylvania's express-legged
halfback, who had a great deal to
do with piling up the 1870 score.
About the only weakness shown
by the boys of Burnham was their
inability to score the extra point
after each touchdown.
On the kickoff Port Clinton\re-
ceived, fumbled and recovered.
Until midway in the first quarter
it appeared that Eddie Bashore
had the measure of Zbinden. He
held the Port Clinton line steady,
and neither team gave much until
Larry found a four-yard opening
and scooted through for the first
touchdown.
Passing Was Fair
Although Port Clinton was chary
of taking to the air, their passing
was good. The Redskins came to
their nearest scoring position when
Bob Enderly handed off to Ba-
shore which was good for 20 yards
deep in Sylvania territory.
Sylvania picked up the second
touchdown on a line drive down
the field in the second period.
Sylvania was penalized six times
to two against the Redskins, a
third one being refused by Port
Clinton.
In the final quarter Quarterback
Ralph Foster tailed Sylvania's
third and final tally on SO yard
return punt.
Sylvania scored in the final
three minutes left to play in the
