WoodIey Estate Blaze
May Have Been Set,
Fire Marshal Says

The Fire Marshal's Office today
said Saturdays 100000 fire at
the old Woodley estate, now owned
by the Maret School, apparently
was set deliberately. perhaps by
|pranksters.
The fire did severe damage to
the 160-year-old mansion, summer
home of four Presidents and
former home of the late Secretary
|of State Stimson.
The building was being re-
modelled for the opening of the
Maret School on September II
The school still plans to open or
that date.
Deputy Fire Marshal Charles
Laschalt said when firemen ar
rived at the blazing mansion, fires
apparently were going in two
places.
One blaze, he said, was in the
second floor near the center of the
building. The other was in the
east wing on the first floor.
Mr.. Laschalt said it was highly
improbable that a fire just started
lin two different locations.
The investigation will continue
he said, until it is determined how
the two fires started. No one was
seen in the building at the time
|of the fire. Workmen were not
there.

police Mr.. Zimmerman had just
swept over q half-mile long field
lat about 90 feet and was trying
to pull up over a group of trees
40 feet high when a wing was
sheared off.

vision probably was obscured by
the clouds of chemical dust. The
three witnesses pulled Mr.. Zim-
norman from the plane and
called the Bowie (Md.) Fire De-
partment ambulance.
Mr.. Zimmerman is survived by
a wife and three children.

editor and publisher of the Chi
cago Tribune who is advocating
a third party called the American
party and Is asking voters not to
support either Gov. Stevenson or
Gen. Eisenhower, has named Rep

candidate for the Senate, as one
of those American-minded men
who can run as Republicans un-
til they find it politically desira-
BILE to run as members of the
American party"
BeaIl Has No Comment.

had no comment Immediately. He
used the week end to attack the
Truman administration for what
he called trying to use socialized
medicine as the opening wedge
for national socialism"

Virginia Party'Chiefs
May Chart Course al
Meeting on Thursday
By the Assoeioted Press

Virginia's political observers are
looking toward Thursdays meet
ing of the State Democratic Gen.
trail Committee for a sign as to
how the States top party leaders
feel about the coming presidential
election. The meeting will be in
Richmond.
| Practically without exception,
f, all Virginia Congressman, Demo-
cratic members of the General
Assembly and other high-ranking
Democrats in the State who have
spoken out have indorsed the can
didacy of Gov. Stevenson.
Included in that alignment are
Senator Robertson and Repre-
sentatives Burton, Abbitt, Hardy,
Robson and Gary.
Committees Take Stand.
Democratic committees of the
I'd, 9th and 10th Congressional
Districts and of Petersburg, Nor
folk and Richmond have all in
dorsed the national party ticket
also.
But the State party's 'big three
Senator Byrd, Gov. Battle and
former Gov. Tuck-have main
tained a stubborn silence on how
they stand in the Eisenhower
Stevenson fight.
Gov. Tuck delayed for some
time the calling of the central
committee after the Chicago DEM
ocratic Convention, but finally set
the meeting for Thursday. He is
committee chairman.
State law allows the committee
to instruct its Democratic presi-
Dental electors to vote for an
other candidate than the one
nominated by the National party
But such a step would come as
a great surprise.
Indication Sought.
All that is looked for from the
committee meeting is an indica-
ton as to whether Democratic
organization leadership will 60
along with the Stevenson-Spark-
man. ticket.
; If the answer is yes, a number
Of hitherto uncommitted Demo-
Gratis will probably be swayed In
the same direction. Sixth District
Democrats, for example, refused
at their meeting Saturday to de-
clare their position until the CEN
tral committee announced its
stand.
! On the other hand, 9th District
Democrats, meeting at Bristol Sat-
urday, called on the committee to
take a firm stand behind Gov
StevenSon's candidacy.
Significantly, among those who
indorSed the 9th'S resolution were

Virginia G. 0. P.
Out o0rganiize
Precinct
Emphasis to Be Put
On Localities Where
Party Has Been Weak
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

Virginia Republicans were oiling
their political guns today for a
nook-and-cranny drive to round
up valuable votes for Gen. Eisen-
hover in November.
State G. O. P. Chairman S. Floyd
Landreth of Galax, said he "is
more convinced than ever" that
Virginia will go Republican this
year for the first time since 1928
when Herbert Hoover carried it.
"We're going out and try to or
garize a Republican unit in every
precinct in the State" said MIR.
Landreth, who at Saturdays
meeting of the party's State Gen.
trail Committee in Roanoke was
given the dictatorship of the
@. o. P. Virginia campaign this
fall.
Calls Meeting September 6.
"You can safely say" Mr.. Ian.
dreth added, that the Republi.
cans will have local units func.
tioning in all Virginia counties
and cities"
To effect such an organization.
he said. he will meet with district
party chairmen and State G. o. P.
officers in Charlottesville on Sep
tember 6.
Plans will be laid then, he said.
to organize as many local units at
the precinct level as possible.
MIR. Landreth said special EN-.
|phasis would be laid on sectors
where the Republicans have been
unusually weak. In one of these.
Patrick County, he plans to meet
with local COP. officials We'd
nesday to try to boost the party's
strength.
Expects Eisenhower to Speak.
The State chairman said he
feels certain" that Gen. Eisen-
hover will deliver a major speech
in Virginia, possibly two. He said
he believes the general will talk
at Richmond and perhaps at Nor.
folk or Roanoke.
MIR. Landreth said the vice.
presidential nominee, Senator
Richard Nixon, will probably"
speak in Virginia, too-but not
at the same place at which Gen.
Eisenhower speaks.
"Of course. I'm hopeful we'll
get four speeches from Ike and
N,xon," he said, "but I'm afraid
that's asking for too much"
Headquarters Approved.

days State Central COMMITTEES
