Charfinq
Move for Draft
0fMcke|din
Governor to Be Asked
To Run, BeuII Says;
Butler Bucks Drive
BY the Associated Press

With all sig bs pointing today
to hot fight for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor
next year, Maryland Republican
leaders sought to avoid a similar
intra-party battle by drafting
Gov. McKeldin for another term.
After a strategy meeting in
Ocean City yesterday, Senator
Beall said he and other G. o. P.
chieftains would call on Nc
Keldin to run again.
The Ocean City announcement
came within "a hours after DR..
H. C. Byrd, University of Mary
land president, confirmed that
he is going after the Democratic
nomination.
MahOney Seen Candidate.
DR.. Byrd became the second
member of his party to an
nounce his plans, Mayor Thomas
D'Alesandro of Baltimore having
declared himself a candidate for
the nomination one week earlier.
George P. Mahoney, the Balti-
more contractor who almost won
the nomination in 1850, contin-
ued to shy away from the ques-
ton but is expected to announce.
He is winding UP tour of all
% counties on what he calls
his meet-the-people" campaign.
Besides Senator Beall, those at
the Ocean City Republican
council-of- war included Deeley
K. Nice and Charles A. Dorsey.
Butler Backs Move.
A clue to the strength of the
draft -McKeldin move lay in the
agreement of Senator Butler to
go along. He and the Governor
split in the battle for the Re-
publican presidential nomina-
tion last year, with Senator
Butler backing Senator Taft and
Gov. McKeldin playing a lead
ing role in the Eisenhower camp.
In Baltimore yesterday, Sen
ator Butler said of the plan to
draft McKeldin:
IF he wants a second term I
will be for him and support
him up to the hilt."
The Strategists insisted Gov.
McKeldin did not know of their
plan. They indicated they would
present it to him at a luncheon
in Annapolis tomorrow.
Governor Seen Willing.
Although McKeldin said in
April, 1851, he would be a "one-
term Governor" as recently as
last May he indicated a change
of heart by saying his "inclina-
tion" at that time was to run
again.
Speculation at the moment is
that DR.. Byrd may formally open
his campaign September 80 when
the Young Mems Democratic
Club of Prince Georges County
holds a dinner at the University
of Maryland.
DR.. Byrd is to be principal
speaker, and 1000 Democrats
from throughout the State have

I MagisteriiaI
Districts SET Up
ByFairfax
Commission Files
Final Report on
Redistrietine Study
BY Mary Lou Werner

Fairfax County was divided
into seven magiSterial districts
today as the final report was
filed by the redistricting COM
mission.
The rediStricting took effect
Immediately. replacing the for
mer division Of SIX magisterial
districts.
The report was filed in Fairfax
Circuit Court by John w. Rust,
chairman of the commission.
Board Vacancy Created.
Two commission members
Keith Price and George C. Ian
drith, also were present.
Since each magisterial district
is represented by one member on
the Board OF County Supervisors,
the creation of a new district
means there is one vacancy on
the board.
Mr.. Rust said this means the
supervisors will have to request
the Circuit Court to call a special
election for a seventh member
of the board. This member will
be elected at large to serve until
1856 when the term of the pres
ent six supervisors expires.
First Since 1874.
The supervisors will be elected
from the seven new magisterial
districts beginning in 1856.
The new redistricting is the
first in the county since 1874.
The seven-member redistricting
commission was appointed March
9, 1852, by Circuit Judge Paul
Brown after a number of petit
tionS were filed by citizens and
organizations requesting a re-
division of the magisterial dis
tricts.
Populations in the old magis-
terial districts ranged from less
than 5000 to more than $4,000.
Those residents in the more
populous districts complained
that there were inadequately rep
resented because of the wide
variation of population.
Census Range Narrowed.
Population in the seven new
districts ranges from approx
mately 10000 to 10000.
Under the new plan, the Board
of Supervisors now has two men,
bers living in the new Centre
vile district-Stuart DeBell and
Maurice Fox. Two also live in
the new Lee district-C. B. Jett
and Arthur Shaffer. Mrs. Anne
Wilkins, who was elected from
Falls Church district, is now in
the new Mason district.

Each summer. the Washington
area gravel pits. lakes, creeks,
the Potomac River, Chesapeake
Bay, all become cool spots for
you to have fun.
They also become killers.
Nineteen persons drowned in
Washington last year. Many more
died at pools, lakes and beaches
nearby. Look at some of those
deaths:
A 14-year-old boy drowned in
the Takoma Pool, Third and Van
Buren streets NV, under the
eyes of seven lifeguards. It prob
ably wasn't their fault: about
1,100 children crowded the pool
at the time.
Another boy, 13 years old,
climbed the fence at the Rose
dale Playground pool one hot
June night. Neither he nor his
companion could swim well
enough to help when the boy
went down.
And just last month a 1O-year-
old slipped into an icy creek near
Silver Spring. His body was re-
covered from under a boulder
Is feet down.
These boys might be alive to-
day if they could swim.

save his life and to enjoy years
of fun in the water, The Star

at the unstable roof of the crevasse. Il gave
the snowshoe couple of whacLs and de-

Whixlpool Battle
That is only one of the exploring hazards
the trio faced during the 81 days they
climbed the st. Elias Range. taking snow
measurements, photographs and mapping
the various peaks they discovered. After
heavy snowstorms made further climbing
too risky. they built a raft, dashed their
heavy packs aboard and navigated down
the White River. They successfully lodged
glaciers and treacherous currents for several
days until, as Jon said, "a giant whirlpool
whisked US into its grip and clutched our
raft. We fought our way out, and after
good struggle with the sucking water, we
freed the raft"
Then the explorers bushwhacked to the
Alaska Highway and hitchhiked to Edmon-
ton, Alberta, where they boarded plane
for the States. Before returning to college,
Jon spent few weeks with his family at
Darien, Conn.,, the first time he had been
home for year and halt. He has two
brothers and two sisters: Land, Is; Scott, 8:
Anne, IL; and Reeve, z.
Young Lindbergh's early years help ex-
plain his love for the lonely thrills found in
the mountains and on the sea. He was born
in New York City on August is, 1882, and
has been on the go ever since. He has lived
almost always near waters edge, in New
Jersey, Long Island, Michigan, Con-.
necticut, England and on the Breton
coast of France. Though Jon remembers
little about any one place. he treasures the
memory of those homes with spacious. slop-
ing yards where he learned to ski.

Conn.,, the lad with the build of a speedy
halfback spent his spare hours fishing on
nearby Long Island Sound Jon reminisced:

the life Of the parish church.
A considerable part of the in
come Of the Roman Catholic
Church is spent on its school
system. which provides for the
education for some 4 million
students from elementary school
to university.
In the Washington area there
are 81 elementary schools with
$4,000 pupils and 80 high schools
with 5000 pupils. About 5000
OF the students attend parochial
schools in Arlington, Falls
Church and Alexandria, which
are in the diocese of Richmond.
Parochial schools in the arch
diocese of Washington, which
includes the District and five
nearby and southern Maryland
counties, are under the direc-
ton of the Very Rev. John S.
Spence, pastor of St. John Bap-
fist de la Sale Church, Chillum.
Religious instruction, given in
a 4O-minute period, is based on
the Bible, catechism and litur-
gical phases Of the church year
and is often conducted by the
parish priest. Daily prayers are
offered and participation in
church devotions, especially dur
ing Lent, is encouraged.
Touches All Activities.
Direct application of Christian
philosophy is made to all spheres
Of activity, including the home,
work, recreation, parochial life
and community enterprises.
Christian doctrine is reviewed
three or four times from primary
to high school levels, with spe-
cial attention given to marriage

Schools in the archdiocese of
Washington follow a religious
curriculum prepared by the
Commission on American Citi-
zenship at Catholic University.
The commission was established
in 1888 to make Catholic teach
ings more meaningful to Amer
lean students. The archdiocese
also uses readers prepared by the
commission.
An unusual addition to reli-
gious education here will be the
establishment. probably in the
fall, of grade school for Moslem
children. The school will be
