Stanley 10 Launch
10th District Drive
Tomorrow Night
Thomas B. Stanley will bring
his gubernatorial campaign to
the nearby 10th congressional
diStrict-territory which he lost
heavily in the recent Democratic
primary-tomorroW night and all
day Friday.
His campaign in the area will
be formally launched at a rally
at 8 pm. Friday in the George
Mason School in Alexandria
called by State Senator Charles
r. Fenwick, chairman of the
10th District Democratic Com
mittee. Mr.. Stanley is scheduled
to appear in Alexandria tomor-
row night.
Although Mr.. Stanley won an
easy victory over Mr.. Fenwick for
the Democratic nomination, the
Arlington legislator carried the
10th district by 16,800 to $500
over the former member of Con-
greSs.
Fenwick for Straight Vote.
Since the primary, Mr.. Fen
wick has expressed the belief
that the only hope of restoring
the 10th district-now repre-
sented by the G. o. P. in Con-
gress-te the Democratic column
is to support the entire Demo-
cratic ticket from the local level
up through the Governorship.
Mr.. Stanley will be greeted in
this area by a blast from the
Republicans, however, as a re-
suit of action taken last night
by the 10th district Republican
Campaign Committee at the
home of Chairman Robert S.
Hope in Alexandria.
The group wrote Mr.. Stanley
inclosing a newspaper clipping
outlining a 14-point legislative
program adopted Monday night
by the Fairfax County Demo-
cratic Committee. The letter
asked whether the Democratic
State organization differs from
that of 10th District Democrats
and added the Fairfax program
appears at odds with many of
the statements you have made"
Mr.. Hope said the letter re-
ferred specifically to differences
between the candidate and the
Fairfax Democrats who urged re-
peal of the poll tax and annual
sessions of the Legislature. Mr.
Hope said that as far as he
knows Mr.. Stanley has had moth
ing to say about giving the 10th
District a member of the State
Highway Commission, which the
Fairfax Democrats proposed.
Will Speak at Hotel.
Mr.. Stanley was to arrive in
the area to speak at 1880 pm
tomorrow before the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute Alumni As
ISOLATION at the George Mason
Hotel in Alexandria. He will
campaign in the area the follow
ing day before the Friday night
meeting which, Mr.. Fenwick said,
was called to give the candidate
an opportunity to meet all the
members of the various Demo-
cratic committees, party candi-
dates and officeholders.
In other developments, Guy
M. BayeS, chairman of the Fair
fax County Democratic Commit
tee, announced today the ap-
pointment of c. Douglas Adams,
jr., Annandale attorney, as cam
paign chairman for that county.
In addition to directing the vote
drive of the State officers, he
will manage the campaigns of
Omer L. Hirst and John c. Webb,
candidates for the House of Dele
gates from the Fairfax-Falls
Church district.
