Campbell Aide Blasts
Names Arrangement
On Fairfax Ballot

Douglas Brooks, Fairfax County
chairman of the Campbell-for-
Congress Committee. today de-
nounced the action Of the Fair
fax Election Board in printing its
ballot with Edmund D. Campbell
placed third on the list.
Mr.. Campbell is one Of four
candidates for the Democratic
nomination to the House for the
10th district.
'"The law says the names on
the ballot shall be arranged in
orderly manner" Mr.. Brooks said.
'"The usual procedure is to place
the incumbent first, then the
other candidates in alphabetical
order. If there is no incumbent.
as in this case, obviously the
names should be arranged alpha
betically," he continued. I'm
what kind Of reasonable order
can the electoral board claim its
ballot Is arranged?
Inc arrangement Cney nave
chosen clearly indicates favorit-
ism Of a candidate by the elec-
toral board. It is nothing new
in Fairfax. The electoral board
has done it in the past and, de-
spite numerous complaints, con-
tinues to arrange the ballot order
to suit its preference. It is an
other example Of steam-roller tac-
tics which, it seems, are not con-
fined to Chicago but also are be-
ing attempted in Fairfax.
Fairfax citizens who are going
to vote for Ed Campbell are in
telligent enough to find his name
in the third position on the ball
lot. However. it does seem
strange that Fairfax is the only
section in the 10th district that
has departed from the alphabeti-
cal listing. the only reasonable
order ;"
The names Of the candidate
for Congress on the Fairfax Dem
ocratic ballot are arranged: !:
Charles Carlin. J. Maynard Ma
|gruder, Mr.. Campbell and Lam
don G. Painter.

Alexandra Board
10 Review Decision
On High School Site.

The Alexandra School Board
agreed last night to reconsider its
selection Of q 23-acre site for a
new high school at the request of
owners Of the property.
The board SAID Ut would visit the

sideration would be given to a

ings to acquire the property when
it became evident the owners were
not willing to sell.

the property owner, revealed that
one of the city councilmen, James
M. Duncan, jr., had written him
in February asking that the prop
erty be listed with his real estate
office. Mr.. Ball said Mr.. Duncan
Offered to handle the sale at 10
per cent commission.
The attorney told board men,
bers his clients are not willing to
sell because the property has been
in the family for several genera
tions and had great sentimental
value. He admitted that the
family plans to develop the tract
commercially but does not plan to
relinquish ownership.
Mr.. Duncan said this morning
he made his offer after School
Supt. r. c. Williams asked him If
he knew of any available property
in the area. He said Board Chair
man j. s. Everly also discussed
the problem with him before the
School Board had definitely cho-
sen a site.
Elementary School Designed.
The board voted to engage
Joseph H. Saunders, Alexandria
architect, to design an elementary
school on the Brookings tract
which is also in the annexed area.
Mr.. Everly was reelected chair
man of the School Board for the
coming year. Edward D. Reed was
vice chairman. and
Mrs. Marguerite Wallace was re-
elected clerk Of the board.
Mr.. Williams announced shifts
of three principals in the school
system. He said Mrs. Marie Acker,
principal Of the Shirley Duke
School, will be reassigned to the
Lee-Jackson School. Miss Mollie

In Police Brutality
Case in Silver Spring

A charge OF "Wh1tewaSh" was
hurled today at Montgomery
County officials in their handling
of accusations by a Silver Spring
man that he was beaten in a Jail
cell at the Silver Spring police
substation.
The complainant In the case,
Wesley r. Wilken. %, Of IA Man
chester drive, last night walked
out Of a closed Personnel Board
hearing on appeals of four police
men suspended in connection with
his accusations.
Mr.. Wilken left the hearing
room about 1880 pm. after sitting
for more than three hours with
out being called to testify in the
case. The complainant said he
was dissatisfied with the way
things were being handled.
Attorney Makes Charge.
His attorney. Joseph B. Simp-
son, jr., made the whitewaSh
charge this morning. He made it
clear, however, his charge was not
made against the Personnel Board.
Mr.. Simpson said he felt the
county was not interested in get
ting at the facts of the case.
The four policemen were sus-
pended by Chief Charles M. Orme
for 80 days without pay last
June 81.
The board last night first heard
suspension charges against Pvts.
Steve Preston Hall and Robert w.
McAllister.
The two officers were suspended
for failing to charge a defendant
with operating a motor vehicle
while under the influence Of alco-
hol." When first arrested, Mr..
Wilken was charged with reckless
driving.
Freed, Then Re-arrested.
According to Chief Orme's re-
port of the incident, Mr.. Wilken
was released on $26.45 collateral.
He was arrested shortly after
ward and charged with disorderly
conduct and tampering with a
motor vehicle.
The brutality charges made
against police stemmed for the
latter charges. Last nights Sec
ond hearing, which began after
1880 pm, involved Corpl. Ed
ward Lechlider and Pvt. Robert
M. Sigwald.
Corpl. Lechlider and Pvt. Sig
valid were charged with failure
to exercise proper discretion in
execution Of their duties by ILL
treating a defendant charged
with disorderly conduct"
Attorney Simpson last night
said Mr.. Wilken had identified the
officers who, he said. beat him.
He said that at least one Of the
O4uCcID Was uOb ouSpC1OCOs
One Not Accused.
Mr.. Simpson added one Of the
men charged with the beating was
identified by Mr.. Wilken as being
around the night Of the incident.
He said Mr.. Wilken, however, had
not accused this policeman Of mis-
treating him.
Mr.. Simpson said he felt last
nights hearing on the beating
charge should have been con-
tinued because Of the late hour.
He said board members told Mr..
Wilken they probably would not
need his testimony. He added
Mr.. Wilken was available for their
questioning at any time.
County Manager Irving G. Nc
Nayr today said the hearing wound
up at 2 am. He added the board
had indicated they would reach
an early decision on the appeals
made by the policemen after their
suspensions.

though Gen. Reckord did not say
in so many words, the inference
was that the top-fiight defense
personnel officials were bent on
channeling all Of the youth of
the country into the military
forces by way Of the draft.
There is no inducement now,
the General continued, for young
men within the draft age limita-
tions to voluntarily join a mill
tary organization such as the Ma
tional Guard. Men in this group,
if they enlist. are drawn right out
Iof their units If their draft num-
berS come up. The only protec-
ton now provided is for young
men between the ages of II and

Take MyWord for It

@. Whenever I heard the word
gorgeous, why do I always think
Of gorge?-M. T. L.
A. Apparently because you have
an unusually sensitive ear. Cor
geous derives from gorge, "the
throat" It came about like this
In the Middle Ages people, women
especially, wore elaborate ruffs
around their necks. The ruff or
neckerchief was called a gorgias in
Old French. Later, gorgias came
to mean beautiful, vain, glorious. u
Gorgias entered Middle English and
the spelling was changed to gor-
geous in order to correspond to the
English mispronunciation OF the
French word gorgias.
@. Please tell us the difference
between contemptuous and con-
temptible.-R. I.
A. Contemptuous means showing
or feeling contempt, as, "She gave
him a contemptuous look" Con-
temptible means worthy OF con-
tempt, as, His conduct was con-
temptible."
@. Recently I disagreed with my
boss on an important matter of
company policy. He sent me an
office memo saying: Let us not en-

Five years ago a strange man
died in India. His name was Mo-
handas Gandhi.
I speak of him as strange be-
cause he seemed that way to peo-
pie of the Western world. He
dressed in what we think of as a
queer manner, he stood against
the use of weapons, and he cared
nothing for gold or other riches
He wanted to set his people free,
but he felt that this should come
about without bloodshed.
Even among the natives Of India
Gandhi seemed strange until after
the people rose to his support. Then
there came to be millions who
wanted to be like him and to follow
his ways.

better student. Several times he
won prizes for his good work.
Shortly before his 18th
birthday, Gandhi left his native
land to go to Great Britain. His
object was to learn law so that
he could practice as a lawyer.
The youth knew only little
about the English language at
that time. For this reason, he sell
dom talked with the other passen-
gers on the boat which took him
to London.
In London Gandhi was quick to
learn English. He also studied
Latin, and soon was able to read
books in the Latin language. He
spent three years studying law be-
fore he took the examinations. Then
he was granted the right to practice
law.
While he was in England
Gandhi adopted the British man
ner of dress, and even wore what
was called a "top hat" Later he
was to give up all foreign cloth
ing and to dress himself as a SIM
pie man of India.

She had bid on extremely question:

considering the loudnesS of Mr..
