Maryland Republicans
Study Clearinghouse
For Campaign Funds
By'Alex R. Preston
Stos Siuff Correspondent

BALTIMORE. Aug. Mary
land Republicans will kick of
their fall campaign here tonight
with a plan to channel all cleo
ton funds and publicity through
a central clearing house."
Nearly all of the House and
senatorial candidates already have
agreed to scrap the present sys-
tenn of handling their own finances
and publicity. The proposal will
be submitted to the State Central
Committee tonight after a ban
quet in the Lord Baltimore Hotel.
The idea is to avoid a repetition
of such charges as those that
grew out of the 1850 senatorial
election of John Marshall Butler
over Willard E. Tydings.
Senator Buffers campaign man
ager. Jon Jonkel of Chicago, was
fined $4,000 in Criminal Court for
violations of the Corrupt Practices
Act after having been charged
with failure to keep proper rec
ords of receipts and expenditures.
Also. a Senate investigating sub
committee said back street tao
tics" helped elect Senator Butler.
Part of the evidence was publicity
involving composite photograph
|purporting to show Senator
Tydings and Communist Earl
Browder in intimate conversation.
Likely to head the new financial
setup is Robert o. Bonnell, a
vice president Of the Fidelity
Trust Co. who already has been
appointed chairman of the party's
Finance Committee.
Mr.. Bonnell1 said the new plan
would require budget requests
from each candidate and the COM
mittee would decide how most of
the money is raised and appor-
toned among the various cam
paigns, with provision for con-
tributi1g to the national cam
paign.
Previously. the nominees have
raised and spent most of their
own funds.

Charge Against Hook

States Attorney Carlyle J. Lam
caster Of Prince Georges County
says he will stand by his deci-
sion to dismiss speeding charges
against Walter c. Hook. jr., de-
spite the opinion Of some State
Department officials that the en-
bassy chauffer could be prose-
cuted.
The department notified Mr..
Lancaster and the Saudi Arabian
Ambassador yesterday that it has
stricken Mr.. Hooks name from the
list Of diplomatic mission en-
ployes having the privilege Of
claiming immunity, as of August l.
This action, described by de-

of Mr.. Hook last week after a re-

Offers to Discuss Case.
Mr.. Lancaster said he would
be glad to discuss the matter with
any one from the State Depart
ment. But he added that in view
Of his Interpretation of the letter
from Mr.. Simmons, he does not
plan to prosecute Mr.. Hook.
He noted that the Simmons
letter stated that Mr.. Hooks
name was carried on the diplo-
matte list at the time of the
Maryland speeding incident. The
letter added that Mr.. Hook ac-
cordingly was entitled to diplo-
matte immunity under provision
Of Title 20 Of the United States
Code.
MIR. Lancaster commented that
he was satisfied with the handling
OF the case because it led to State
Department action as well as Dis

DINGLE. County Kerry, Ireland,
Aug. Former CT Frank Hayo-
stak and Mildmaid Breda O'Sul-
Ivan walked today to the spot
on Dingle Bay where the bottle
that started their romance washed
ashore seven years ago.
Only the seagulls knew what
they talked about-but tourists
and slyly winking villagers
thought they had a pretty good
idea. AS far as this village in
Southwest Ireland is concerned,
this is romance with a capital r
just like they sing about in the
old ballads.
Mr.. Hayostak and pretty Miss
O'Sullivan, "a and blue-eyed, gave,
the villagers the slip and went
motoring among the stored lakes
of Killarney. ut was a lovely day
for them" one villager said.
Parents Seem Pleased.
The shy. hand-holding couple
would not say whether they
planned to marry. They were only
laxative with each other. Her
parents weren't saying much
either. but they smiled when the
idea of marriage was mentioned.
Mr.. Hayostak. a 27-year-old
steelworker from Johnstown, Pa,
flew to Ireland Tuesday. He plans
to stay until August 81.
While returning home on a
troop ship seven years ago, he
put his name In o. bottle sand
tossed it over the side.
Il think the ship must have
been 1000 miles at sea when ]
did It," Mr.. Hayostak said.

bottle on the beach here and she
and the former soldier began q
lengthy, correspondence.
That quiet beach seemed q very

Budget Bureau, in all probability,
means that non-defense units will
have no chance for expansion
during the coming year and might
even have to reduce personnel
somewhat. This will be particu-
larry true if the budget estimates
finally approved by the Budget
Bureau are further trimmed by
Congress.
In all probability, however, the
final outcome on budget requests
depends q great deal as to the po-

in the Executive Branch and on

Whichever political party wins the
