about $4,000 four years ago. AT
least $1,000 were registered in
Montgomery County where the

In Arlington County the regis

gible to vote in November. The
1948 figure was less than 10000.

reports, may have registered

Fairfax County and Falls
Church, now with a city registra-
ton office of it's own, probably
registered a total of $4,000. That
would be some 5000 more than
in 1948
| The heavy registration, accord
ing to county and city officials
reflected more than the population
growths in recent years. 1t also
was the result of intense interest
in the forthc 0ming Presidential
election; contests for Congress
and in some instances, in local
issues, they said.
Registration officials in the
nearby communities were so busy
yesterday that they hardly had
time to answer questions about
their work.

ton police headquarters early to-
day and was held on a charge of
felonious assault.
Assailants Are Partners.
Walter Lemon, father of the
injured man, who also lives at
1904 South Nash street, said the
gun fight climaxed two-month
dispute between the two men over
dissolving of their partnership in
a neon sign business in Charlottes-
vile, Va. He said the dispute in
volved payment to Pfeger for his
share of the business which his
son had agreed to purchase.
The two men are brothers-in-
law, Pfleger having married Le-
mons sister. Pheger has. two chill
dren. Lemon is also married and
has two children.
A warrant charging Pfeger with
felonious assault was issued by
Commissioner in Chancery Will
liam L. Winston late last night
Lemon after hospital treatment
was being held under $3.50 bond

The shooting occurred about Z
pm, in the street in front OF
Lemons home. The noise Of the
argument attracted many spec
ptators from their apartments on
Nash street.
Blast Misses Child.
Witnesses said the two men
had a fist fight which was broken
up by Lemons father. Pheger
went to his home but returned
within a few minutes carrying
a shotgun. He called Lemon from

door fired at him.
Lemon fired back several times
with a revolver and Pfeger re-
turned the fire. Lemons father
said his sons 2-year-old daughter
jamie rushed out to join her
father and was nearly hit by a
blast from the shotgun.

They also disclosed that all but

come "gross" has been derived
from his Government salary first
as member of the House and
then of the Senate.
Additional income was listed as
coming from rental of a home

dends on certificates in mutual
investment funds, and from some
speaking and magazine writing.
The added income ranged from
a high of 5000 for speaking and

net return on rental of his home
and farm.
Bars Date on Wife's Returns.
Senator Sparkman went over

Office during a week end break

He declined. however. to release
the income tax figures for his
wife. who works in his office. He
said he would not disclose the tax

Truman have it.

harmless blanks"
Attacks Foreign Policy.
Earlier in the day the general
had released a statement attack
ing administration handling of
foreign policy in Asia since the
close of World War II.
All day today Gen. Eisenhower
campaigned by plane in Mime
sofa, South Dakota and North
Dakota, repeating for the most
part. the routine speeches he has
been making in other areas.
But he held his real fire until he
reached the scene of the Presi-
dents opening attack on him last
Monday. It was by far the sharp
est reply the Republican nominee
has made to any Democratic
speaker. -.
Gen. Eisenhower called Presi-
dent Truman the drum major"
of the administrations band. Re-
membering slip Of the tongue
in which the President himself
mentioned the mess" in Wash
ington at one of his Western
stops, Gen. Eisenhower told the
crowd which greeted him here to-
night:
He has even gone so far as
to imply there is mess in Wash
ington." A
It was Gen. Eisenhower who
. began early in the campaign re-
ferring to the mess" in Wash
ington.
Denies Dam Charges.
Gen. Eisenhower said one of
the blanks" fired at him was
the charge that under a Republi-
can administration there would
never be another dam or irriga-
ton project built in the West.
The generals answer was that
Republican President Theodore
Roosevelt put through the first
reclamation law.
Gen. Eisenhower described the
Presidents rear platform blasts at
him as sound without substance;
promise without performance;
howls without harmony. Now the
whole is blended into a raucuous
din and jangle led for seven years
now by the drum major of the
administrations band"
The Republican nominee called
on the voters to terminate "the
New Deals worn out lease on
Washington"
Answers Stevenson Speech
Gen. Eisenhower's statement on
the administrations foreign policy
was reply to Gov. Stevenson's s
speech at Louisville, KY, on Sep
tember q. In the statement the
general:
/. Accused Gov. Stevenson and
Secretary of State Acheson of try
ing to blame the military authori-
ties for policy decisions of the ad-
ministration in drawing on Ameri-
can License perimeter for the
Pacific which excluded Korea and

Pin Hope for Mccarthy
Defeat on Stevenson
Usual Big November
Turnout Regarded as
6. O. P. Disadvantage
By Gould Lincoln

MADISON. Wis.,, Oct. 4.-Dem-
ocratic leaders in Wisconsin
believe that if Gov. Stevenson oi
Illinois can defeat Gen. Eisen-
hover in this State, Gov. Stevenson
will take Tom Fairchild to victory
over the hated (by the Democrats)
Senator Mccarthy.
Their hatred of Senator McCar-
thy Is intense and their dearest
wish is to sink him. They have moi
yet recovered from their surprise
and shock caused by Mccarthy.
huge vote in the Senatorial pri-
mary September 9.
Those Democrats, who have
caught their second wind, are
figuring how they may yet snatch
victory out of the dark picture
They have obtained the aid Of
statistical and research experts Al
the University of Wisconsin in ar
examination of the votes cast IL
the State in the November gen.
eral elections as compared to the
votes cast in the September pri.
maries, covering the years 1916
1948 and 1850. In each of these
years. the total vote in thu
general elections was greater BY
several hundred thousand than ir
the primaries. And in each year
the Democrats obtained between
IS and 67 per cent of the addi-
tional vote cast in the November
general election.
1.35 Million Expected.
The Democrats say the probable
vote in the coming November elec-
ton will be in the neighborhood OF
l .35 million, or about 400, 900 votes
more than were cast in the Sep
tember primary. If they have 65
per cent of those 100000 new
votes, and add them to all the
votes cast in the senatorial pri-
Imaries for candidates other than
Senator Mccarthy. the result will
bring the Fairchild vote-the
anti NC Carthy vote-almost leveI
with the Mccarthy vote. What the
Democrats hope is that the total
vote in the election will reach IA
million or more. and thereby still
further help Mr.. Fairchild.
This figuring rest. of course, on
the premise that all 215,000 votes
cast in the senatorial primary for
Len Schmitt, Republican opponent
of Senator Mccarthy. will move
over to Mr.. Fairchild. One Demo-
cratic leader said he believed that
80 per cent, at least, of this vote

Prime Minister Stalirf may ad-

headed by Stain. Nevertheless.
elections to this body and to other
important party organs will be
