Arlington 10 Probe Status
OF Ham Radio lowers

An investigation was to start
today to determine whether
there are any ham" radio sta
ton towers standing in Arling-
ton without formal approval.
The investigation was touched
off by opponents of a request
by William A. Etter, who asked
the Arlington County Board Sat-
urday to issue a use permit en-
abling him to erect 40-foot
antenna tower on his property
at 1880 North Utah street.
Mr.. Etter's request was de-
ferred until September 10.
Meanwhile the board said it
would look into the question of
whether towers now being used
by ham" operators are covered
by similar use permits.
Mr.. Etter said today he was
asked by the board how many
ham" operators are located in
the county. He said he estimated
more than IS but declared that
he felt the impression given in
a story yesterday in The Star
was that he estimated these op-
orators we're using towers with
out formal approval of the
board. He said he had no knowl-
edge concerning the possibility
that some ham" towers have
not been authorized by the board.

Women Voters
Hear Three Bid
For Support
Byrd, D'AIesondro
And Mohoney Woo
Maryland Democrats
By the Assoeiated Press

OCEAN CITY, Md, Aug. "a
The United Democratic Women
of Maryland met here yesterday
to be courted by three potential
candidates for Governor whose
techniques ranged from senti-
ment to self-confidence.
The annual reception of the
party's women was to be lust a
little afternoon tea," but the an
nouncement that Mayor Thomas
D'Alesandro of Baltimore is seek
ing the party's nomination for
Governor turned it into more
than that.
I'm not quite sure what I
should call you" said Mary H.
Duvall, chairman of the meeting,
in an exchange with the Balti-
more Mayor before the assembly.
"Just call me Governor" quip-
ped Mr.. D'Alesandro.
MahOney Sings Baritone.
Baltimore Contractor George
P. Mahoney employed the senti-
mental approach. He serenaded
the woman in baritone, singing
Dear Old Girl"
Mr.. Mahoney made it clear
after the brief reception that he
intended to continue campaign
ing throughout the State, but
wouldn't say for what Office.
Most of the States party
chiefs figure his hat will be in
the ring for Governor.
DR.. H. C. Byrd, president Of
the University of Maryland, who
is also considered a likely candi-
date. had a little f1attery for the
women and a cryptic comment
for the men.
The real salvation of this
State is to elect a woman for
Governor" DR.. Byrd said. The
women applauded.
Hot Fight FOreseen.
Later he commented that he
would be willing to bet that the
next Governor Of Maryland is
not million miles from here"
Asked if he meant himself, DR..
Byrd said only a lot of people
would like to know" about that
but for the present he wasn't
saying.
The meeting resulted in no
public announcement that Dem
ocrats have agreed upon a candi-
date. and indications were that
a hot primary fight may be on
next June's agenda.
There was some talk of a meet
ing next month to settle all
claims and avoid family tussle.
with possibly former Gov. Will
liam Preston Lane as mediator.
Most of the speakers agreed
that a bitterly fought primary
battle would spell defeat for the
party in the elections in 1854.
DR.. Byrd said, however, that
he had mo objections" to
primary, taking the position that
control of the party should rest
with the voters.

Virginia Republicans
AssaiI Democrats on
Poll Tax Attitude
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. a.
The Richmond-Henrico Repub-
lican headquarters has attacked
two of the points which the
Democratic ticket is expected to
back this fall in the State elec-
ton campaign.
The Democratic ticket is
headed by Thomas B. Stanley,
who is running for Governor.
in a statement yesterday, the
Richmond -Henrico G. o. P.
headquarters raped what politi-
cal observers believe will be the
Democratic position on abolish
ing the poll tax and lowering
the age limit for voting.
May Hold Referendum.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch
said yesterday that a referen-
dunn will be proposed by the
Stanley ticket to decide the poll
tax issue and that the same
ticket will oppose lowering the
age limit for voting to 18.
At Stanleytown this morning,
Mr.. Stanley said he had mo
comment" and that mo one is
authorized to speak" for him.
He said he would make his views
known when the State Central
Committee meets September 3.
The paper said it understood
Mr.. Stanley and his co-candi-
dates, who met in Richmond
Friday, will come out with a
poll tax plank favoring submis-
sion to the people of a consti-
tutional amendment which-if
approved-would remove the
poll tax payment as prerequisite
for voting.
Republican Ted Dalton of
Radford. Mr.. Stanley's major
opponent in the gubernatorial
race, has already come out for
repeal of the tax.
Yesterdays statement by the
Richmond Henrico Republicans
was issued by Richard C. Wight,
headquarters manager. The
statement labeled the Democratic
stand as "the big dodge"
Tactics Assailed.
"This is Mr.. Stanley's only
play" the statement said. "The
remedy suggested for the poll tax
has been available for so years.
Those who installed the tax in
1902 sought to make it politically
impossible to repeal the law"
The statement further said
that Mr.. Stanley will not tell
the people whether he thinks
the poll tax is good or bad. .
On the matter of reducing the
voting age limit to 18, the Dem
ocrats are afraid of the young
vote, naturally. They would
much prefer to base the vote
on conditions that existed IS
years ago."

To See Battle
On School Aid
Assembly Delegation
To Discuss Funds
For Building Program

The Arlington delegation in
the Virginia General Assembly
has obtained a conference ap-
pointment with Gov. Battle to
discuss the possibility of State
aid for Arlington's school con-
struction program.
Delegate j. Maynard Magruder
announced the Governor has
tentatively agreed to meet with
the delegation next Monday.
Breakdown Threatened.
A breakdown in the school
construction program is threat
ened because of lack of funds.
The School Board has been un-
able to sell a $2.8 million bond
issue because three of it's mem
bers are involved in litigation
challenging the right of Federal
employees to hold office.
The delegation also includes
State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick and Delegate George
Damn, Democrats.
Referring to an earlier effort
of the school board to obtain a
State loan to carry out the
building program. Mr.. Magruder
said the delegation understood
"all possibilities for assistance
from the State agencies" were
not exhausted.
The school boards request for
a $2.5 million loan from the
State Literary Fund was Shelved
by the Board Of Education which
said it would need more infor-
nation concerning the litigation
before it could pass on the loan
request.
Mr.. Magruder said the dele
cation was acting on a sugges-
ton by Harrison Mann, Demo-
cratic candidate for the House
of Delegates. Mr.. Magruder Is
seeking reelection to the House,
but Mr.. Damn is not a candi-
date.
Conference Is Planned.
A conference will be held this
week with members of the
School Board and school officials
to obtain "all the facts and
figures and devise a plan of
action"
"The threatened work STOP
page will seriously affect the well
fare of the children, besides
causing serious loss to the con-
tractors and to the many per-
sons who may lose employment
through lack of funds" Mr..
Magruder said.
Such resultant losses would
also affect our merchants and,
indirectly, all the residents of
the county"
