FeIdman Attacks Both
Broyhi|| and Campbell
In 10Th District Bid

Both major candidates for the
House seat in the 10th District
of Virginia came under attack
last night by another avowed can
didate. Richard L. Feldman. an
independent Democrat, who is
asking voters to write his name
on the ballot next Tuesday, told
the Alexandria League of Women
Voters there are objections to both
the Democratic and Republican
nominees.
He said Joel T. Broyhill, the
33-yeaf-old Republican House can
didate. is immature. He said
Democrat Edmund D. Campbell
mas spent too much money trying
to get elected to a $12,50O-a-year
job and has the misfortune of
being lawyer.
Says Teacher Is Needed.
Congress-" said Mr.. Feldman,
has become a dumping ground
for lawyers.
1--WE could use a physics teach
er in Congress-" the retired teacher
said "A physics teacher would
have some idea of the astronorni-
cal figures being tossed around
in the Government"
Mr.. Broyhill told the Alexandria
audience the paramount issue of
the 1852 campaign is security
principally security of the family
He argued the Republican pro-
gram would best assure its
achievement.
Mr.. Campbell said that. If the
Republican Party came into
power. the country's progress
would be set back by the elevation
iof reactionary and isolationist
members of the G. o. P. to the
chairmanships of various congress
sional committees.
Urges Stevenson's Election.
The Democratic nominee said
the country needs the leadership
in foreign affairs and domestic
matters that Gov. Stevenson can
give. He said the 10th district
needs the kind of leadership he
is prepared to give.
He described himself as neither
Ia Byrd Democrat nor a Miller
Democrat but a Campbell DEM
ocrat."
Senator Byrd, head of the con-
servative Virginia Democratic
Organization, has refused to in
dorse Gov. Stevenson on the
ground that the presidential can
didate is too closely aligned with
President Truman.
Francis Pickens Miller, a leader
|of the anti-Byrd faction in the
State, is an ardent supporter OF
Gov. Stevenson.
In an earlier campaign talk last
night over station WMAL-TV, Mr.
Campbell accused the Republican
Party OF making "a reckless anC
blanket attack on our Fedora
service" The remarks were aimee
directly at the big Government
employe vote in the district.

Give Divergent Views
On Communist Issue

Divergent views on what to do
about Communists in America
were expressed last night by the
two candidates for Congress from
Maryland'S 5th district-Democrat
Richard Lankford and Republican
Frank Small, jr.
Mr.. Lankford drew prolonged
applause from an audience OF
about 200 in the Cheverly Amer

piled to a question as to what he
would do about Communists in

II, for one, believe that before
I call any one traitor, I am

Emphasizing that he abhors
communism, the Democrat said he
has faith in the way the FBI and
the Central Intelligence Agency
are combating the Communist
menace at home.
Small Sees Problem.
Mr.. Small, on the other hand,
told the meeting, sponsored by the
Prince Georges County League of
Women Voters, that America faces
a problem, if not an emergency

concerned"

Protest Move
Against Byrd
Backs Battle
Speaker Moore
Deserts Ticket,
Blasts Stevenson
By John v. Homer

The political situation in Vir-
ginia was muddled further today
with the detection of another
high-ranking member of the
Democratic Party and move to
run up protest vote against Sen
ator Byrd in next Tuesdays
election.
E. Blackburn Moore, Speaker
of the Virginia House of Delegates,
followed the lead of Senator Byrd
and former Gov. William M. Tuck
in repudiating the National Dem
ocratic ticket headed by Gov
Adlai Stevenson and Senator
Sparkman.
A movement got under way in
Newport News. the Shipyard labor
center, to scratch Senator Byrd's
name from the ballots and write
in the name of Gov. Battle. The
Democratic Committee in New
port News said the movement is
definite but not widespread.
Move Denounced.
A similar undertaking has been
reported in northern Virginia, but
even some of the most active sup
porterS of the Stevenson-Spark-
man ticket denounced the idea.
H. Bruce Green. clerk of the
Arlington County Court and a
Stevenson supporter, said he had
not heard of such a movement.
He expressed conviction that Gov.
Battle himself would reject the
proposal that his name be sub
stituted for Senator Byrd's.
Last summer Senator Byrd was
renominated overwhelmingly by
the Democratic Party for another
six-year term. He has no Repub-
lican opposition, but is opposed
by two minor candidates.
The Senator delivered a sharp
criticism of Gov. Stevenson about
10 days ago. saying he would not
indorse his candidacy because of
too close an association with
'Trumanism.' Gov. Battle, a
friend of the Senator and a mem
ber of the Byrd organization, is
working for Gov. Stevenson's elec-
ton over Gen. Eisenhower.
House Speaker Moore, who is a
Berryville neighbor of Senator
Byrd. charged that Gov. Steven
son has yielded so much ground
and has embraced so much "Tru-
manism' =. that it has become
difficult to determine whether the
Democratic presidential nominee
is named Adlai Stevenson or
Harry S. Truman"
Other Trouble FOreseen.
Additional trouble loomed for
the Democratic regulars. w. Tay-
loe Murphy of Warsaw, Va, one
of the presidential electors for
the National Democratic ticket,
announced he will make a radio
speech tomorrow night to explain
his views on the election.
The Richmond NeWS-Leader said
Mr.. Murphy's views are favorable
W ACAl. LlSC41IIOWCIs ~ was
learned that Mr.. Murphy at
tempted to resign as a Democratic
presidential elector but was pre-
vented from doing so because the
deadline for withdrawing had
passed.
To offset some of these devel-
opments, the Stevenson supporters
called on Representative Smith
and Delegate Robert Whitehead.
Mr.. Smith reiterated his support
of the Democratic slate in a speech
at Spotsylvania Courthouse. He
said he believes Gov. Stevenson,
if elected, would make up his own
mind and not be controlled by
President Truman.
Delegate Whitehead declared at
Fredericksburg that Gen. Eisen-
hover is "hopelessly outclassed''
in the political field. He told a
Statewide radio audience that the
American tradition is against put

Red Cross Does Much to Guard
Morale of Our Fighters inKoreo
AIexundriun Describes
Many Services Given
To GIs in Difficulty
Bx Horriet Griffiths

Helping to guard the morale of
fighting men is the American Red
Cross business In Korea.
A sympathetic ear, q reassur-
ing word from home, a shaving
kit, or even a cup of coffee, at the
right moment can do lot for the
sagging spirits of a man on the
battlefront.
These things are part Of the
service for which military authori-
ties look to some 125 Red Cross
workers in Korea.
"We should have more" said
Maurice M. Zook. recently re-
turned from Korea, where he was
in charge of Red Cross personnel
and installations from July, 1850.
With success of the present
drive for funds, Mr.. Zook said,
the force probably will be en-
larged.
Explaining some of the Red
Cross activities in the battle area,
Mr.. Zook recalled that when the
rotation plan went in effect, there
was a remarkable upsurge of Dear
John" letters to the fighting men.
I'm many cases, there had been
no indication previously that there
was anything wrong at home" he
said. "Yet, when it became OBJ
vious to the wives that the men
would be coming home on rota-
ton, they had to break the news. +"
The Red Cross field directors
were able to help them by serv-
ing as sympathetic listeners to
men who didn't want to talk about
their marital troubles to any one
in their military units.
Sometimes men on the front
begin to worry when they haven't
heard from their families in a
long time. The Red Cross will get
a welfare report through its local
chapter for him.
Sometimes Gives Aid.
It also refers reports of nom
receipt of allotments to local chap
ters. The chapters furnish emer-
gency relief funds. if necessary.
until the allotments are cleared.
The service to ble-bodied troops
includes verifications to the mill
tary for emergency leave deci-
Sions. The local chapters obtain
doctors reports on illness at Serv-
icemen's homes to help military
authorities to rule on the leave
requests.
When a signal comes in from
a chapter indicating critical i'll
ness or death in a mans family,
it is part Of a normal days work
for a field director in a combat
division to get in his jeep and
go up to the line to hunt the man
down, Mr.. Zook said.
Where emergency leave Is in
volved and transportation is some
distance away, the field director
takes the man to the air strip.
One direct0r drove his man for
80 hours over the worst Of roads
to get him to a plane. Mr.. Zook
recalled.

Donohue Gives Need,
|0f Downtown Traffic
First D. {. Priority

Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue last night assigned top pri-
Iority among city construction
needs to highway and parking
facilities to maintain the high
value of the downtown core of the
District.
Mr.. Donohue was questioned on
his weekly radio broadcast over
Station WWDC last night about
proposals for borrowing money to
provide permanent improvements.
While he saw no prospect for
consideration Of any borrowing
program by this session of Con-
gress. he said in response to ques-
tions that he felt highest pri-
Iority as of now should be assigned
to downtown traffic and parking
needs.
Says He Gave Up Counting.
Asked whether he had any idea
how many millions would have to
be borrowed to provide needed
highways, schools, welfare institu-
|tions and water and sewer IA
cilities now. the Commissioner re-
marked jokingly that he had
stopped counting at $4O0 mil
lion."
Congress. however, would have
to give authority for any borrow
ing program, he said, and the
Commissioners have not formally
determined whether the city
should borrow, and if so, in what
form or for what purpose.
He said he saw little chance that
a borrowing proposal would be
ready for Congress this fiscal year
"The question Is too important
to the people for the board to
attempt to reach a conclusion
without consulting the leaders OF
the CITY," he said.
