Service Votes
To Settle Close
5th District Race
Lonkford Waiting
For Official Canvass
Before He'll Concede
By Alex R. Preston

A canvass of votes in Southern
Maryland and the counting Of
1,257 absentee ballots from serv-
icemen today was to make Of
ficial the winner of Tuesdays
election of a House member from
the 5th District.
Frank Small. jr., Washington
automobile dealer, was the winner
by 1922 votes. according to the un-
official count. But Richard E.
Lankford, Annapolis attorney and
State legislator, is conceding
nothing until after the service
mems ballots are added in and
the resident vote is certified as
official.
A spokesman at Mr.. Landlords
headquarters said the absentee
ballots conceivably could affect
the outcome.
Tied on Other Districts.
Republican domination Of
Maryland's congressional delega-
ton hangs on the outcome. This
is because the two major parties
each elected three members to
the House from the six other con-
gressional districts. Republicans,
however, now have both of the
Senators, with Representative j.
Glenn Beall of Frostburg being
moved to the upper branch of
Congress to join Senator Butler.
Maryland last sent more Re.
publicans than Democrats to Con-
gresS in 1920. The Official can
vass today was to be made by
Boards Of Elections Supervisors in
Prince Georges Charles, st.
Marys, Calvert. Anne Arundel and
Howard Counties and in Balti-
more City. Eight precincts of the
city lie within the 5th district.
Mr.. Small carried his home
county of Prince Georges hand
somely and all the others except
Anne Arundel CMr. Landlords
home), st. Marys and the city
precincts.
The total vote, without the abb
sentee ballots, was reported un-
officially as 67.706 for MIR. Small
and 66,884 for Mr.. Lankford.
Racing Post Affected.
The probable victory by Mr..
Small. who is chairman of the
Maryland Racing Commission.
would give Republican Gov. Nc
Keldin one or possibly two new
appointments to hand out. The
new Representative, of course.
would give up the racing commis-
sion post.
One possibility to succeed MIR.
Small is State Republican Chair
man D. Eldred Rinehart of Ha-
gerstown, himself a member Of
the commission. If Mr.. Rinehart
were moved up, this would open
a job on the three-member COM
mission.
Mr.. Rinehart. former president
of the Hagerstown half-mile.
track, was appointed by Gov. Nc
Keldin to the commission last
year. The Governor may, on the
other hand. name some outsider

= Election of Dewitt s. Hyde to

District will give Gov. McKeldin
one, and possibly two. Republican
appointments to fill in the Gen

Mr.. Hyde, a Washington and
Bethesda attorney. will vacate his
seat in the State Senate to go to
Congress. Already, speculation is
among seven or eight
possibilities as successors.
Gov. McKeldin must fill the

Hyde's party. Customarily, he fol-
lows the recommendation of the
State Central Committee and
Walter w. Dawson, the G. o. P.
chairman in Montgomery County,

Fairfax zoning Laws
Amended 10 Allow
|Biq Research Center

Fairfax County's coming ordi-
nance has been amended to allow
construction of a new multi
million dollar scientific research
center.
The zoning amendment was
adopted by the Board of County
Supervisors yesterday. It permits
construction Of such laboratories
in agricultural and residential
zones, provided certain require
mentS are met.
Armistead Boothe. attorney for
the Westinghouse Air Brake Corp,
said the firm now will proceed
with its plans for a new So to SO
million plant on a 50-acre tract
on Lee boulevard opposite the Falls
Church Air Park. Amendment
to the zoning ordinance was
prompted by this firms interest
in locating a site within the
county.
Mr.. Boothe described the pro-
posed new installation as a
guarded castle for scientists" He
showed the Supervisors drawings
Of the huge plant and said there
will be no manufacturing in it.
Mr.. Boothe said most employees
will be cientists with salaries of
from $4,000 to $40. 900 a year.
Representatives of the Greater
Falls Church Chamber Of Com
merce appeared to indrose the
coming amendment because it
would encourage such enterprises
to come to the county.
Omer Hirst Of Annandale OBJ
iected to one provision of the
amendment. He said he thought
the Supervisors should reduce a
requirement that such laboratories
be located only on highways with
80-foot rights of way. Mr.. Hirst
said there are few such sites in
the county, and he thought it
advisable to permit scientific
Laboratories on smaller highways.
The Supervisors decided to
adopt the amendment with the
80-foot highway requirement and
later act to reduce it. Before the
adoption of the amendment,
laboratories could be built only in
industrial zones.

Home Rule Leaders
Plan 10 Renew Fight
In Prince Georges

Proponents of home rule in
Prince Georges County, roundly
defeated in Tuesdays election,
today announced they will fight
to bring the issue to the voters
again in two years.
The Citizens Committee for
Good Government in Prince
Georges County blamed an "un-
holy coalition of machine politi-
clans" for the rejection of the
charter question. The vote was
22,850 to 14,894 against creation
of a board to draw up a home rule
charter.
Home rule advocates also
claimed that the low total vote
little more than half the number
cast in the presidential election
from public misunder-
standing of the charter issue. They
said they will spend the next two
years explaining the need for re-
vision of county government.
To put the question on the
ballot again in 1854, 10000 sig
natures will be needed, in addi-
tion to 1000 for each of five can
didates for charter board.
Statement BY Committee.
The statement of the citizens
committee said:
eve are heartened by the vote
of the individual citizens in sup
porting good government in Prince
Georges County.
''We believe that those people
who did not vote either for or
against the question of charter
remain our next source of voting
power for charter.
1T required the combined ef-
forts of both the Democratic and
Republican machines to beat the
charter movement. This unholy
coalition of machine politicians
knowingly gave out misinforma-
ton about the charter for the
avowed purpose Of maintaining
their hold on the political plums
of county government patronage.
They did a great disservice to the
people of our county.
"The charter movement in
Prince Georges County still re-
mains the answer to our govern
needs. We shall therefore
continue a program of bringing
the truth to the people of Prince
Georges County as to what char
ter is and why we should have it.
In 1854 we shall return again
with the question on the ballot" !"

Alexandra Vote
On 10Th District
Race Affirmed
BroyhilI-C Campbell
Totals Now Being
Certified by Canvass

Alexandria election officials to-
day certified the unofficial return.
in the Broyhill-C Campbell contest
for the House as correct for thai
city.
The question of whether Joel T
Broyhill, Republican, or Edmund
D. Campbell, Democrat, was
elected Tuesday in the new 10th
district was being determined by
official canvasses in Arlington
Falls Church and Fairfax County
Unofficial returns gave MIR
Broyhill the victory by 319 votes
The Alexandria returns in this
contest were reported unofficially
as 6,512 for Mr.. Campbell and
6,450 for Mr.. Broyhill. These fig
ures were confirmed.
Byrd Vote Larger.
However, Senator Byrd received
lilo more votes in Alexandra
than he was credited with. The
Stars election table for Alexan-
dria yesterday had the correct
vote reported for each of the city S
ward for Senator Byrd, but the
total was enormously reported as
1884. A recheck Of The Stars
reports by wards shows that the
total should have been 1894, the
figure which was confirmed by the
Alexandria Electoral Board.
The unofficial total of 1855
votes, for one of Senator Byrd's
opponents Clarke T. Robb, Social
Democrat, was confirmed. The
figure Of 795 for H. NJ. Wise, ST.,
Independent Democrat, was found
to be one too many.
Mr.. Campbell refused to concede
his defeat in the House contest
and insisted that IAN accurate
count" would give him the elec-
ton. Both candidates claimed
totals different from the unofh-
cial returns.
Broyhill Ahead.
Unofficial returns from the 10th
district gave 33,154 votes to Mr..
Broyhill and 32,835 to Mr.. Camp
bell.
Mr.. Broyhill, however, said his
headquarters had computed the
totals as 33,323 for Broyhill and
32,899 for Campbell. This would
give a Republican margin of 424
votes. -..
Mr.. Campbell. on the other
hand. said his computations put
him ahead of Mr.. Broyhill by 80
votes.
Both Live in Arlington.
Both candidates live In Arling-
ton. Mr.. Campbell is a former
chairman of the Arlington County
Board and practices law. He has
Offices in Washington and Arling-
ton. Mr.. Broyhill, embarking on
his first political excursion, is in
the contracting business with his
father, M. T. Broyhill, and his
brother, M. T. Broyhill, jr.
Mr.. Broyhill issued a statement
at 4:20 am. yesterday claiming
the victory. Mr.. Campbell reported
20 minutes later that his compu-
tations gave him the election over
Mr.. Broyhill.
Meanwhile, the 10th District
Democratic Executive Committee
met last night at the home of the
chairman State Senator Charles R.
Fenwick. in East Falls Church, to
discuss the election situation" No
Irregularities were charged.
Mr.. Fenwick said it was decided
that no further action should be
taken until after the vote is certi-
fled by officials in each jurisdic-
ton.
