Maryland RoIIies
By Alex r. Preston

By Alex r. Preston
His strongest statement to date
against providing economic aid to
Europe at the present rate was
made yesterday by George P. Ma
honey, Democratic candidate for
the Senate from Maryland.
Mr.. Mahoney spoke at two rallies
in Prince Georges County, the
home of Representative Sasscer,
the man he defeated for the NOM
iaation in the May primary.
And Mr.. Sasscer, member Of
the House Armed Services Com
mittee. implied an opposite view
on foreign aid when he referred
to his recent inspection trip
abroad
II say we must discontinue send-
ing such huge sums to Europe.
Let them start helping them
Selves" Mr.. Mahoney told a lunch
con Of the Southern Maryland
Group of the United Democratic
Women's Clubs at the Prince
Georges Country Club.
Must Protect Investments.
1--WE have big investments in
these countries and we must pro-
tect them," Mr.. Mahoney went on.
II see where Mr.. Churchill Brit
iSh Prime Minister1 is headed over
here again for another huge hunk.
I'm sick Of it. I say we must cut
down waste and inefficiency
wherever we find it."
At a later rally at Upper Marl-
boro sponsored by the Prince
Georges Council of Democratic
Clubs in tobacco warehouse, Mr..
Sasscer praised the administra-
tion's fight against Communism
at home and abroad. He said;
II have just left Europe where
I saw that our great Marshall
plan has kept the nations free
from Communists"
In addition to Mr.. Sasscer and
MIR. Mahoney. the candidate for
the House from the 5th District,
Richard E. Lankford of Annapolis.
also spoke at both meetings. I'm
dersecretary of the Treasury Foley
spoke at the gathering of more
than 200 at Upper Marlboro.
Democratic Primary Cited.
Il am happy to see here in
Upper Marlboro liviling confirma-
ton of that splendid vitality and
spirit that has always been the
ideal Of the Democratic Party"
Mr.. Foley said. His reference was
to the Mahoney-Sasscer primary
contest.
"But when the majority has
spoken" Mr.. Foley went on. q. {.
then 1t is the great tradition of
democracy that all men of the
party accept the decision of the
majority. close ranks, and put
their shoulders to the wheel. Thus.
the loser in your rencet senatorial
primary, the Hon. Lansdale G.
|Sasscer, stands here today to give
his utmost support to the victor
in that primary, George P. MAJ
honey" :.
MIR. Sasscer had urged support
OF the straight Democratic ticket
at both meetings yesterday as well
Jas in previous election campaign
talks.
Mr.. Maloney's primary fight
against Mr.. Sasscer had been par
ticularly bitter, however. He had
linked Mr.. Sasscer's name with an
alleged veterans housing shortage
at Patuxent, Md. during the pri-
mary campaign. Yesterday, how
ever. Mr.. Mahoney lauded his for
mer opponent.
| Says Sasscer Saved Day.
AS he did at a rally in Suitland
last Wednesday. Mr.. Mahoney said
Mr.. SaSscer saved the day-he
saved the Democratic National
Convention-he saved the Demo-
cratic Party" at Chicago by max
ing the move to seat Virginia at
the convention. If Virginia and
two other Southern States had
been denied the floor, the Party
would have "gone down on its
face" he said.
j Mr.. Lankford keyed his first talk
before the women's group to his
audience. He told a large gather
ing Of young matrons that II
doubt if any of you ladies are old
enough to remember the Repub-
lican's depression" He said .
Democratic administration means
security "of your homes and your
children."
And at the Marlboro tobacco
warehouse he patterned his re-
marks to fit its leading citizen as
. well as Southern Maryland's prin-
, ciple agricultural product.
"It is my intention" Mr.. Lank-
, ford said. "and I know it is the
, intention of all Democratic can
Ididates in the State, to look to the
great leadership of the man who
saved the Democratic Party in
Chicago. your own Lansdale G.
ESasscer."
