FREDERICK, Md, Oct. 2.-The
Frederick Fair bravely sought to
recover today from a visit by the
States effervescent Governor,
Theodore r. McKeldin.
A record turnout was promised
today for Farmers Day." The
fair continues through Saturday.
But yesterday, the ebullient
Gov. McKeldin personally greeted
more than 1000 fairgoers, some
not knowing who he was until
bystanders nudged them and
whispered: THAT'S the COVER
NOR"
A matron whose eyes spanked
with hope over game of bingo
was suddenly distracted. A large
man threw himself onto the stool
beside her.
Gives His Name.
"McKeldin is my name" he said,
"How are you? How'd you like a
picture of the Governor?"
Before the nonplussed target OF
such an assault could reply, the
Governor scribbled his autograph
with ball point pen on a post
card photograph that must have
been made Is years ago.
THANK you very much." he
would invariably say as he forced
his picture into the hands of a
confused victim.
Sometimes he forgot. to say that
he was the Governor. Then the
confusion was compounded.
On the Midway, he walked over
to game Of skill where five discs
are supposed to cover a painted
circle. An attractive girl behind
the counter took his photograph
and his Is cents for the game.
Come on up folks" she barked.

He progressed through the fair

man said to Gov. McKeldin, I'll

with ball point pen working fu-

Richards Orders
About Drive
Tells Prince Georges
Force to Pull No
Punches on VioIotors

Prince Georges County law en-
forcement authorities today have
implicit orders to pull no punches
in seeking out law violators in
the county.
The orders came from County
Police Chief F. Allen Richards as
an answer to what he called "ugly
rumors that we have become a
little lax" in enforcing the law.
Chief Richards expressed his
views during a special. unprece-
dented meeting in the County
Service Building, Hyattsville, last
night, attended by virtually all of
the 69-man county police force.
The press also was invited,
Chief Richards said. 80 it can
not be denied that have ordered
you to show no favoritism.
Afterward, he told reporters he
invited cooperation of the public
and promised to keep secret the
identity of any persons reporting
specific violations.
To Investigate All Complaints.
We'll make a thorough inves-
tigation of any complaint" he
declared.
Chief Richards told his men he
called last nights session because
there are rumors going around
designed to do us harm and to
smear us" He added that he has
implicit faith in his men.
The 47-year-old chief emphat-
1cally said he wants his men to
show no favoritism to any law
violator in any manner whatso-
ever" In particular he cited
gambling and liquor violations.
You owe your job to no one
but yourself" he asserted. when
the time comes, if it ever does
that somebody is so powerful they
can get your job for doing your
duty, then they can demand mine
too." But, he assured them, mo
one Is going to fire you for doing
your duty"
Reporting that the police de-
partr11ent also has the co-opera-
ton of the county sheriff and
States attorneys Office, Chief
Richards warned his men to be
on the strict lookout for law vio-
lators.
Don't pull any punches" he
said.
Appointed in 1851.
Chief Richards, appointed Jan
uary l, 1851. when the Repub.
lican regime took over in Prince
Georges County, said the county
police force has come long way
ana called 1T a vast difference
from what it had been before he
became chief. He succeeded Ralph
w. Brown, who had been the tar
get OF much criticism during the
old Democratic administration.
The police chief said Prince
Georges County will build a
Police Department second to
none"
Citizens wanting to report any
violations, Chief Richards said
should get in touch with him at
police headquarters in the county
courthouse, Upper Marlboro, or al
the County Service Building
Hyattsville.
Similar vigilance for would-be
law violators also was expressed
yesterday by County Sheriff Carl
ton G. Beall. The sheriff said his
staff, which includes severa,
policemen on special duty there
had no instructions to relax its
law-enforcement efforts. The,
will continue their work, both al
