Beall Tops Gore in
COP Senate Race;
Hyde-Werner Win

While the official count on cleo
ton returns will not be completed
until after this newspapers dead
line, the word is around that a
record number of voters turned out
to cast their ballots in Mondays
primary elections.
It's no secret now that ]. Glenn
Beall, veteran legislator from
Frostburg, won a decisive victory
over his closest opponent, ]. Grady
Gore of Montgomery County for
the COP nomination to the Z. :.
Senate. Beall was supported by
Governor Theodore McKeldin.
Gore lost Montgomery 7719 to
5219.
In the COP race for the Sixth
-District House nomination, State
s7Senator DeWitts S. HYDE of Chevy
Chase out distanced State Senator
Robert Kimble and D. John Mark
ey, his closet opponents.
On the Democratic side in the
race for the senatorial nomination,
George P. Mahoney sidewiped
Lansdale G. Sasscer by piling up .
large popular vote. The Prince
Georges legislator, however, has
refused to concede defeat in view
Of the close unit count. Senatorial
candidates in Maryland are chosen
bv unit rather than popular vote
While Sasscer has issued no state
ment on whether or not he would
call for recount, he said total
change of SO votes will change the
result of the election. He said he
will wait for the official canvass
to be completed before making a
statement on his course of action.
In the unofficial count, Mahoney
had "a units but his lead in Dor
chester County was only 81 popu-
lar votes. In Garrett it was 90
and "A in Caroline County.
To win, Sasscer would have to
take both Dorchester with five unit
votes and Garrett with four. Dor
chester with five and Caroline with
three would not be sufficient since
that would leave the unit vote at
1916. In case of tie in the unit
vote system, the leader of popular
votes wins. If Mahoney should
lose to Sasscer in the unit vote
when the official canvass is in, it
would mark the second time he
polled the majority popular vote
and lost on unit count. Governor
Lane lost the popular vote to Ma
honey but won the governoship
nomination on the unit count. He
was defeated by Gov. McKeldin in
the general election.
The Sasscer loss, concededly,
was the big upset of the Maryland
primary, and has left the big brass
in the State party gasping at the
vote-getting talents of Mahoney.
The Democratic machine in the
State was loaded for bear in Sas-
scer's behalf.

mination to the Sixth Districts
seat in the House of Representa-

Gas Strike Hits
Town Vehicles

The gas strike hit Rockville this
week when tanks used by Town
vehicles went dry. Mrs. Sara Nor
timer, Town Clerk, said when she
called the American Oil Company
to learn why the regular 500-gal-
lon delivery had not been made -.
the Company told her huh-uh. 1t
seems that the sympathy strike
of the Amoco drivers has dried up
town supplies. Town motorized
equipment must now patronizo
filling stations around town just
like the rest Of the underprivileg-
ed taxpayers.

GUrion EUIogizes Weizmonn
AT Special Cabinet Meeting

JERUSALEM (JTA)-Premier
David Ben Gurion, at a special
meeting of the Cabinet called on
the occasion of the death of Pres
ident Weizmann, eulogized the
first President of the Jewish
State as the first citizen of the
Jewish nation" The Premier said
to the members of his govern
ment, and to the co-chairmen of
the Jewish Agency, DR.. Nahum
Goldman and Berl Locker, who
also attended the meeting:
II would not try now to ap-
preciate the personality and the
activity of the nations choice.
There was nobody like him since
Herzl and many books should be
written about him and about the
two crowns he Wore-the crown
of statehood and the crown of
science. Even in those few years
when he was not elected presi-
dent of the Zionist Organization,
DR.. Weizmann was the first citi-
zen of the Jewish nation, symbol
izing our urge and striving for
the national revival named Zion
ism.
Men, women and children in all
walks of life and in all places in
Israel broke down and wept un-
ashamedly when they learned of

Knesset Gets
Bill Calling
For Loan

JERUSALEM (JTA) Finance
Minister Levi Eshkol introduced
in Israel Parliament the draft of
a bill providing for a compulsory
loan on property. The measure is
a companion piece to the enforced
loan on bank deposits and cur
rency which went into effect earl
ier.
The draft law would place a
sliding scale on loans, on owners
of movable and immoVeable
property including land, vehicles,
livestock, raw materials, finished
and unfinished goods. Personal
property would be exempt from
the loan, which ranges from six
percent on property valued at
10000 pounds or less, to II per-
cent on property valued at 10000
pounds and over.

Local OADrive
Aims at Quota

Because 1852 is nearing the end
and UJA seeks a minimum of
$4,000 from Tucson at it's annual
conference on Dec. IA in New
York, Harry Gilberg, CJA chair
man, pleads for contributors to
meet their pledges at this Hanu-
kah season.
During 1852 a total of $4,000
has been sent UJA. Outstanding
pledges have been reduced to $27,-
600, still a considerable sum, ac-
cording to Gilberg. On this basis,
it is not unreasonable to ask the
community to supply funds to
enable Tucson to raise and send
an additional $4,000 to UJA next
month, the drive committee con-
tends.
The greatest tribute Jews can
pay the late Chain Weizmann is
to help Israel become the land
he wanted it to be-a land of
hope and peace, adds Gilberg.
Not only are immigrants in
Israel, whose absorption is finan-
ced thru UJA, dependent on what
is done in Tucson, but a number
of national, health and religious
agencies as well as locally-sup-
ported services depend on these
funds to continue their work.

Rep. Soboth
Dies AT 86

WASHINGTON (JTA) - An
American landmark and beacon
in the political like of this coun.
try disappeared with the death of
Adolph ]. SABBATH, 86-year-old
dean of the House of Representa-
tives. His death came within 48
hours of his twenty-fourth cleo
ton in Illinois to the House.
President Truman, Gov. Adlai
E. Stevenson and other personali-
ties in the political world joined
in the mourning for the Jewish
legislator who came to the u. S.
from Bohemia at Is and became
a foremost advocate of civil
rights, social welfare and other
humanitarian causes in Congress.

The decision was taken in view
of the fact that the present gov
ernment considers itself provis-
ional and does not want to initi-
ate any binding agreements until
after the national elections early
next year.
Observers believe that the rea-
son for the postponement is that
the two leading parties the Peo-
pies Party and the Social Demo-
cratic Party-which compose the
Cabinet do not want to antagon-
iZe non-JeWish voters during the
election campaign. The govern
ment is also afraid that Arab
delegates at the U.N. may vote
against Austria during the debate
on Austria's fate next month,
should the Austrian Cabinet a.
gree to discuss the payment of
reparationS to Jews.

Mizruchi Nav
Get Position

JERUSALEM (JTA)-Premier
David Ben Gurion had a person
all talk with Rabbi Mordecai Nu-
rock, MiZrachi leader, on the MiZ-
rachi's participation in the Cabi-
net and on the appointment of a
successor to David Xvi Pinkas,
the late Mizrachi Minister of
Communications.
During the discussion, Mr.. Ben
Gurion said that the religious
party is not entitled to minister
ial post on the basis of SiZe-it
has only two deputies in the
Knesset-but that it is desirable
to give the party a seat on the
Cabinet because of its past con-
tributionS to the Zionist move
ment and the state.
The Mizrachi organization has
asked for the Ministry of Com
munications to restore the status
quo which existed before Pinkas'
death, but there seems to be little
likelihood of this. The MiZrachi
refuses to accept the Welfare
Ministry.

The West German Government
will send delegations to Arab cap
itals to negotiate problems aris-
ing from the conclusion and exc
cution" of the German-Israeli
pact.
The Bonn Government refused
to accept the Arab charge that
German reparationS would in
crease the war potential of the
Jewish State. The German Gov
ernment offered to give the Arab
states a formal guarantee that no
military supplies would be sent
to Israel, and also expressed its
willingness to engage in individ-
ual trade talks with each of the
Arab states to meet their econo-
mic demands.
Debate on the Israel pact will
probably open in December and
lead to ratification in January.
This schedule, it is feared, will
give the Arab delegation in Ger
many time to press its protests
against the Israel treaty in many
German quarters. 1t also gives
German circles fearful of losing
Arab trade an opportunity to in
tensify their propaganda against
ratification of the German-Israeli
pact.
