Some $50 young women last
night crowded into the Commerce
Department auditorium for the
first of a series of three classes on
how to be good hostess to serv-
icemen.
The classes are sponsored by the
Armed Services Hospitality Com
'mittee and the women, all between
the ages of 18 and %, will use
their training at Washington area

on military posts.
Among the speakers were Mrs.
Henry Grattan Doyle, chairman
of the committee, who offered
few suggestions on ladylike con-
duct; Maj. Gen. Edwin K. Wright,
who told the girls something of
conditions in Korea which a large
majority of the men they enter
tain have either just experienced
or expect to soon, and a military
intelligence agent, who briefed the
hostesses on good topics of con-
versation from a security stand
point.
The program also included a
dancing exhibition by Dan Albert
and Jinx Fontaine of the Don
Martini studios, which included
another set of dos and don'ts.
The remaining classes in the
series, which are held at 7:30 pm.

Additional Taxing Power
Favored by County League
By the Asseeiated Pres,

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct.
24.-The League of Vir ginia
Counties favors legislation which
would grant additional I'd axing
power to the counties, William
B. Speck, league field secretary,
said today.
A resolution passed at the an
nual meeting Of the league at
Natural Bridge this week author
iZed a committee to study new
tax sources for the counties, to be
incorporated in legislative pro-
posals made by the league.
The league in preliminary dis
cussions said there is a discrep-
ancy in the taxing privileges of
cities and counties, and that addi-
tional funds are needed to support
such programs as school building.
In other actions, the league
authorized an appeal of the recent
$2,950,000 rate increase granted
the Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co., and authorized two
committees to study methods of
appointment of county school
boards, and whether county board
meetings should be open to the
public.

Mrs. Werner, 81, who was one
Iof the leaders in establishing
charter form of government for
Montgomery County, is the first
woman in Maryland to receive
party nomination for a full term
in the House.
She ceased campaigning every
Tuesday and sometimes in the
evenings, to take care of public
business as member of the
Montgomery County Council.
Sometimes she is called the
dining room candidate" because
that is where she maintains her
campaign headquarters in her
home at 6807 Forty-f1fth street,
Chevy Chase.
Although the far reaches of the
district, Allegany and Garrett
Counties, have more registered
Republicans than Democrats, she
has made a strong bid there for
labor's support. The labor vote is
probably more important there
than anywhere else in the District.
She has a large following among
Women's organizations-so much
so that supporters of her opponent
Iorganized Women-for- Hyde Club
to offset the effects.
Mrs. Werner denies political
charges that she favors central
lied government. To refute this,
she cites her prominence in the
fight for Montgomery County
home rule" a few years ago.
Although she has met her op-
ponent on the same platform sew
eral times, she refused his most
recent challenge to debate, she
says, because she didn't want to
increase his audience.
Early in the campaign, there
were persistent rumors that Mrs.
Werner did not have the support
of the Democratic organization,
particularly the precinct workers.
But these reports have been con-
vincingly refuted by responsible
leaders, from E. Brooke Lee on
down. She, herself, is an ardent
supporter of the Stevenson-Spark-
man ticket.
One reason for the rumors was
the candidates determination not
to accept campaign contributions
large enough to be construed as
an attempt to influence her vote
in the House. Instead, she prefers
to receive contributions of $40 or
less from individuals.
Active in the Bethesda Meth
odist Church, Mrs. Werner has
taught Sunday School since she
was 16. She was born in Baltimore
and was educated at Eastern High
School, Washington, and Goucher
College.
She was personnel manager of
a large Baltimore department
store before marrying John Wer-
ner, mechanical engineer with
the Government. They have two
daughters and a granddaughter.

Mr.. Hyde, a 43-year -old Be-
thesda attorney. has served the
last six years in the lower and
upper branches Of the Maryland
General Assembly. He is running
partly on his legislative record
Mrs. Werner is running on his
record, too-except she Is against
it.
He has been criticized for his
vote in the State Senate against
a teacher pay raise bill and a
later vote to sustain Gov. Nc
Keldin's veto of that bill.
He says Mrs. Werner's position
on this is "hypocritical and her
arguments have been sheer
sophistry designed to mislead."
The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil, of which Mrs. Werner is a
member. considered the teacher
pay bill and decided not to recon-
mend its passage, he says. He
never heard anything from her
about the matter until the cam
paign began. he says.
Mr.. Hyde also was attacked for
his sponsorship of a resolution in
the Legislature calling for a con-
stitutional amendment to limit
the rate Of Federal income taxes
to Is per cent. Mrs. Werner says
the measure would cut the rate
for the rich and large corpora
tions and thus force the Govern
ment to raise the rate for lower
income groups.
Mr.. Hyde disagrees that il
would work this way. Also, he
proposed to remove the limitation
during emergencies.
He has challenged Mrs. Werner
to debate the issues on a wire
recorder because. he says, she has
deliberately distorted his views.
Mr.. Hyde's campaign manager,
Delegate j. PAUL Marshall of
Montgomery County. was strong
supporter of Senator Taft. But
since the Chicago convention Mr.
Hyde has made a strong appeal
for Gen. Eisenhower and ap-
Ipeared with the presidential nomi-
nee during a recent tour through
Western Maryland.
Born in Washington, Mr.. Hyde
was left fatherless in infancy. He
took law degree from George
Washington University in 1885
after having started his studies
in chemical engineering. He was
with the Farm Credit Admins
tration for five years before en-
tering the Navy. spending nearly
two years in the South Pacific
He emerged with the rank OF
lieutenant commander.
MIR. and Mrs. Hyde are active
in Christ Lutheran Church In
Bethesda, which he helped to
found. He had been reared as 9
Methodist.

preliminary hearing before United
States Commissioner Stanley King
in Alexandria yesterday and were
held for grand jury action.
The men are Gerald Craig Fea-
gans. "a. of the 1900 block of
Crawford street NE, and Rob-
ert Lee Johnson, 80. of the 1900

were not represented by counsel
when they appeared before Mr..
King and they said they did not
wish an attorney. Both chose
to waive the hearing.
Bond was continued at $4,000
each.
The two were arrested in q
Fairfax County restaurant a week
ago, less than two hours after
q bag of mail was stolen from an

County 10 Ask
School Ban on
AnyU. n: Affairs
Won't Try to Stop
Dance Set Tonight
At University Park

The Prince Georges County
commissioners voted today to ask
the School Board to deny the
use of public schools by outside
organizations for any United Ma
tions celebration in the future.
They decided, however, it is too
late to try to stop a square dance
set for tonight in the University
Park School to celebrate the sev-
|enth anniversary of the founding
of u. N.
The request to the School Board
was passed by 3-to-2 vote. It
specified that the commissioners
have no intention of interfering
with school curriculums.
Tonight's affair. sponsored by
the County League of Women Vot-
ers, will include the cutting of the
huge cake trimmed with U. N.
flags, and square dancing by men,
bers of the league and of United
Nations embassies.
Waters Asks Ban.
Commissioner Edward j. Waters
offered the motion to ban future
use of schools for U. N. parties. It
was seconded by Mrs. H. Wilson
Spicknall. Commissioner w. Ev-
erett Marion voted aye. Negative
votes were cast by Commissioners
Thomas E. Latimer and Daniel A.
Abbott.
Mr.. Waters had withdrawn q
previous motion asking the county
School Board to bar the dance to-
night. His action was taken when
Mr.. Marion remarked he felt it
was too late to try to interfere
with tonight's affair.
G. o. P. Voices Opposition.
The all-Republican board which
several months ago refused to per-
nit U. N. flags to fly over county
buildings reiterated its opposi-
Ition to the organization "as it is
now operated"
All members of the board said
they believe U. N. objectives are
good but that present procedure is
unavoidable. They particularly OBJ
jected to the veto clause.
The board was unanimously of
the opinion that there is nothing
wrong in teaching school children
about the organization, aims and
Iobjectives of the United Nations,
provided instruction is unbiased.
Mr.. Marion questioned, however,
whether that is the case in all
public schools today.

Widening Project
Begins Next Week
On Connecticut Ave,

Work is to begin next week on
the long-awaited widening of
Connecticut avenue between
Chevy Chase Lake and the Jones
Bridge road.
State Senator Dewitt s. Hyde
of Montgomery County announced
yesterday that Russell H. Mccain,
chairman of the Maryland Roads
Commission, has assured him that
work on the project would begin
within a week.
The read is to be widened from
two lanes to four along the three
eighthS of a mile stretch, which
has long been recognized as one
of the worst traffic bottlenecks in
Montgomery County. Connecticut
avenue is a four-to-six lane dual
highway between Chevy Chase
Lake near the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad tracks and the District
line, and in the District, it accom-
modates from four to six lanes Of

traffic is often backed up for
nearly a mile where Connecticut
avenue narrows to a two-lane
country road at the railroad
tracks.
Last month, a delegation of
Chevy Chase residents met with
the State Roads Commission to
urge immediate action on remov-
ing the bottleneck.
Mr. Hyde said since that meet
ing he and Representative Beall,
Republican, of the 9Th Maryland
District. have been comforting al
most daily with individual men,
bers of the roads commission.

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Oct. "a
A second report of anonymous
campaign literature and a call
for the resignation of a Frederick
County Democratic Party official
today stirred the already turbulent
political waters Of Western Mary
land.
A new controversy was fired by
a pamphlet directed against Mrs.
Stella Werner, Democratic nomi-
nee for Congress from the 9Th
district.
The new row came with an an
Inouncement by States Attorney
John S. Hollyday that the next
move was up to the Republicans in
a similar case of tabloid directed
against the G. o. P.
Distributed at Hagerstown
rally earlier this month, the tab
loid illustrated breadlines and an
apple-seller reminiscent of de-
preston days. The unsigned lit
erature warned that Republican
victory on November would re-
suit in another economic collapse
Must Obtain Warrant.
Mr.. Hollyday wrote D. Eldred
Rinehart, who, as chairman of the
G. o. P. State Central Commit
tee had asked for an investiga-
ton, that the Republicans would
have to obtain a warrant against
the persons responsible for the
anonymous tabloid Or present evi-
dence to the Washington County
grand jury. A grand jury ham
ding would delay any trial result
ing from the investigation until
November 20, Mr.. Hollyday said,
because the jury is not scheduled
to meet until late next month.
State law prohibits the distri-
button of campaign literature
without the signature Of an Of
fetal agent of party or candi-
date.
The call for j. Tyson Lee to re-
sign as chairman of the Frederick
County Democratic State Central
Committee came from Thomas
Glass, the party's county cam
paign manager.
Attack on MahOney.
Noting that Mr.. Lee had called
George ?. Mahoney. Democratic
nominee for the Senate, a COM
plete fraud" and had announced
he will support Republican Rep
|resentative j. Glenn Beall for the
office, MI. Glass said:

when Mr.. Mahoney ran for Cover
nor in 1850. I am also sure that
the public will recall that Mr.. Lee
repudiated Mr.. Mahoney's can
didacy early in that campaign"
Mr.. Glass said Mr.. Lee had not
contributed to Democratic efforts
in the current campaign and
therefore should step down from
the Democratic State Control
Committee so his position could
be filled "by a local Democrat who
believes in the party platform and
is willing to support the party's
candidates"

The anonymous campaign mis-
siveS against Mrs. Werner were re-
ceived by several registered Re-
publican voters in Allegany County
delivered by second-class mail.
Paul M. Fletcher, chairman OF
the Allegany County Republican
Campaign Committee, denounced
them. No official Republican Or
ganization has anything to do with
them, he said.
William L. Wilson, jr., chairman
Of the Allegany County Democra-
tic Campaign Committee, said the
campaign letters show
the desperate efforts by which
our opponents seek to distort the
to the voters"
Mr.. Wilson said Mrs. Werner al
ready has refuted the charges in
the letter.

Evidence
For Pedestrian
Accidents Urged
Same Rules Applying
To Drivers Sought
For Proposed Law

Pedestrians involved in traffic
accidents should be covered by the
same rules of evidence concerning
drunkenness that drivers are, a
member of the Citizens Advisory
Council declared today.
This position was taken by At
torney William E. Leahy during
the councils discussion of a pro-
posed bill which in it's present
form applies only to motorists.
Purpose of the legislation is to
|allow in court trials the admis-
sion of chemists reports into evi-
dence obviating the necessity for
actual testimony by physicians.
The present practice here is for
medical experts to analyze chemi-
cal tests of urine and blood Speci-
mems and to state for the court
whether the findings indicate a
driver may be under the influence
of alcoholic beverages.
Question Raises Issue.
Mr.. Leahy raised the question by
inquiring whether there was law
in any jurisdiction that applies
to pedestrians whose possible in
toXication might be a factor in
a traffic accident.
Arthur E. Miller, former head
of the Metropolitan Police Traffic
Division and newly appointed di-
rector of Montgomery County
public safety. said he knew of no
such laws. Mr.. Miller was ap-
pearing before the council as an
expert on the subject of drunk
driving tests.
The traffic specialist added.
however, that he thought Mr..
Leahy's suggestion a good idea"
since many traffic deaths are
caused by pedestrians.
Noting that pedestrian traffic
victims are often given alcohol
tests in autopsies, Mr.. Leahy OBJ
served he feels that pedestrians
should be submitted to such anal
yses this side of the grave as
we'll"
At the council members SuggeS-
ton, Charles c. Collins, general
counsel for American Automobile
Association, agreed to draft law
that would cover pedestrians along
with drivers.
