Asks Both Parties for
Support in Arlington

The three Independent Move
ment candidates for the Arling-
ton County Board in the Novem-
ber election today made an open
bid for the support of the county
Democratic and Republican Ex-
ecutive Committees.
The candidates, Alvin F. Kimel,
Mrs. Leone B. Buchholz and DR..
Robert H. Detwiler, released a
letter they said they sent to the
executive committees of the two
parties urginig that they be in
dorsed "as the best qualified can
didates" for the three board va
cancies created by court decision
against Federal employees holding
local Office in the county.
Neither the Democrats nor the
Republicans have put up candi-
dates for the three vacancies.
The non-Partisans have entered
three aspirants in the race against
the Independent Movement, how
ever. .-
Meanwhile, the independent
slate received the Endorsement of
Hall Flood Hughes, Arlington Re-
publican. and Harley M. Williams,
former non-partisan leader.
Mr.. Hughes had entered the
race himself earlier this fall as a
Republican candidate, but he
withdrew after the G. o. P. Ex-
ecutive Committee decided not to
name candidates. presumably to
join the Democrats in backing the
independement movement.
Mr.. Williams charged that the
non partisan label "has now been
captured by those with a left-wing
philosophy of government .. who
favor, among other things, large
and oftentimes wasteful expendi-
tures."
