The Mayor and town council OF
Rockville, Md. today denied that
a Negro ghetto" exists in their
city as charged in a recent report
of the Montgomery County Public
Housing Authority.
The town officials, in a state
ment. demanded that the criticism
of Rockville be deleted from the
report delivered to the County
Council. April %. Mayor G. Lamar
Kelly, jr., also offered to publicly
debate the allegations with mem
bers of the commission.
The authority's report referred
to Rockville as one OF the most
overcrowded colored housing areas
in the county. OF 264 substandard
units in the city, the report said.
242 are occupied by Negro fam
lilies.
In effect, this area has be-
come a sort of ghetto for colored
people," the report charged.
The statement from Mayor
Kelly and the council said such an
allegation could only come from
faulty research" The Lincoln

one of the finest colored communi-
ties in this or any State" they
said.

Bea|I Accuses Gore
On Transit Sale in
Exchange Of Charges
BY The Associated Press

BALTIMORE. May 1.-The two
principal candidates for the Re-
publican nomination to the SEN
ate, H. Grady Gore and j. Glenn
Beall, are teeing off against each
other personally in the final days
of the campaign.
They traded their first brickbats
yesterday. Mr.. Beall started it in
a statement that Mr.. Gore "en-
gineered the deal to sell the con-
trolling interests" in the Capital
Transit Co. three years ago.
The only previous personal ref
erence in their campaign was
made couple of weeks ago by Mr..
Gore when he called Mr.. Beall a
"do nothing" Congressman during
his 10 years as Representative OF
the 9Th district. Mr.. Beall didn't
reply directly to that.
But yesterday, he recalled that
II months had passed since ne
introduced a bill calling for an
investigation of Capital Transit
Co.
Beall Blasts Gore.
"Despite my repeated efforts to
get action on this bill" said Mr..
Beall in his prepared statement,
"it appears that unknown forces
are keeping this bill in committee
without taking any steps to in
vestigate this scandalous Situa-
ton.
This entire situation can be
traced back to September, 1949,
when H. Grady Gore engineered
the deal to sell the controlling
Interest in the transit company
to Florida interests headed by L.
E. Wolfson of Jacksonville. In
COMPENSATION for his efforts in
selling out the capital stock, Mr..
Gore and his family received 1l2
per cent of the purchase price Of
i I$2,189,160.
"At the time of this sale. &C
Icording to newspaper reports. Mr..
Gore and his family held between
5000 and 1000 shares Of the
transit company stock.
I'm 1852, these holdings have
Increased to approximately 10000
shares under stock-spllttlng
scheme giving four shares for
every one share held.
Despite claims of their losing
money given as reasons for dis
continuing service in Maryland.
the transit company has continu-
ously paid dividends from cash re-
serves, thus dissipating the liquid
assets Of the company"
Beall Answers.
Mr.. Beall was answered in a
statement by Mr.. Cores campaign
manager, Irving H. Merger.
It said the Capital transaction
was approved by the Securities
and Exchange Commission and
the North American Co. which
made the sale.
It added that Mr.. Gore acted
purely and simply" as a broker
and that his fee of IL per cent
was considered extremely low.
Its we'll known fact Mr.. Gore
and his son served as brokers in
the Capital Transit Company's
sale" the statement from Mr..
Mezger said. $50 what? Was
there anything wrong with it?"
If so. it urged Mr.. Beall. state
the facts rather than resort to un-
manly insinuations."

sioner) is now one OF the principal
State wide bosses of the Byrd ma
chine. Senator Byrd's political
power is derived in part from
Sidney Kellam and is also exer-
cised in part through him."
Mr.. Miller added, IF Senator
Byrd sincerely wishes to get rid
of corruption in Government, let
him begin to clean his own house.
/ challenge him to repudiate the
Kellam machine. Then and only
then will we know that he means
business"
The senatorial aspirants was
especially critical of the "Kellam
machine" for the way the recent
county elections were conducted.
An anti-organization slate was
badly whipped by Kellam-backed
candidates and their election con-
test suit got nowhere in the courts.
Denounces Judge.
Mr.. Miller denounced Sydney

affected by a $296.000 cut.

sors yesterday voted to retain the
present property tax rate. $2.65
per $100 of valuation. A 33-cent
