College graduating classes, re-
ligious conventions and Republi-

Stolen Plane From Virginia
Spotted by Montgomery Police

Alert spotting by two Off duty
Montgomery County policemen
has led to recovery of a light
plane stolen Tuesday from an
airport at South Hill, Va.
The plane was found aban-
doned at Congressional Airport
on Rockville pike, near Rock
vile, Md. about 10 am. Tuesday.
The two policemen, Pvts.
James Lawrence, 36, and Thomas
E. Hutchlns. %, both members of
the Civil Air Patrol unit at Con-
gressional Airport, were unfa-
miliar with its markings and de-
cided to investigate.
They checked with the Civil
Aeronautics Administration and
then traced ownership through
cooperation of Virginia State

He is a favorite of religious
groups because he is one of the
few men of national political
prominence who make such a
point of their devoutness. An
Episcopalian, Gov. McKeldin sell
dom misses a Sunday when he
does not speak from at least
one pulpit and teach at least one
Sunday school class.
During the recent Jewish holy
day of Yom Kippur, Mr.. Nickel
din spoke at two synagogues in
Milwaukee. He said he joined
his Jewish friends in their ira
ditional 24-hour fast, and "it
makes you feel good in your
SOUL"
Since becoming Governor, Mr..
McKeldin also frequently has ad-
dressed various business groups,
ranging from the New York
Board of Trade to the National
Concrete Burial Vault Associa-
ton in Atlantic City.
The Governor often floors his
audiences with such tongue
twisters as this one, delivered to
a New York Republican rally
last year:
"The plundering potentates of
the Potomac and the pusillani-
nous parasites of the palace
guard are having their last ride
on the merry-go-round of pri-
vilege and pelf."

Driver Arrested
In Auto Injury
TO Policeman
Motorcycle Crashes
During Chase of
Speeding Car

A Silver Spring building con-
tractor was arrested yesterday
after police had flashed a look
out for an automobile that had
seriously injured a motorcycle
policeman.
The policeman, Pvt. Gilbert
r. White, 1725 @ street Sc. was
taken to Emergency Hospital
where he was reported to be suf-
fering from head injuries.
Michael M. Abrams, "a, Of
8002 Park Crest drive, Silver
Spring, has been charged with
leaving the scene of a collision,
changing lanes without caution
and speeding.
Witnesses gave this version of
the accident:
Officer White was following a
blue automobile south on South
Capitol street about / pm. Near
Portland street, the car swerved
suddenly to the left, forcing Pvt.
Whites motorcycle into the
middle island. Witnesses said the
officer was thrown 20 feet into

The plane was traced yester-
day to E. v. Whittemore, a South
Hill carpenter and student pilot
who was unaware it was missing.
According to Pvt. Lawrence,
the plane left South Hill earlier
Tuesday, but the manager at
the airport there assumed Mr..
Whittemore was plotting it. At
Congressional Airport, however,
the plane was seen to make a
bumpy landing in downwind,
taxi to the end of the runway,
and a boy, believed to be in his
teens, jumped from it and ran
into the woods.
The mystery pilot has not yet
been found, Pvt. Lawrence said.
Mr.. Whittemore told police he
would come up to Maryland on
Sunday to fly his plane home
again.

"The Reconstruction Finance

of depression, monster of uncon-
trolled growth in years of pre-
cariouS prosperity, purveyor Of
pelf to the parasites of privilege
at the pinnacle of it's pernicious
poWer-happily is soon to ex-
pire."
1t was Gov. McKeldin who
stuck the Democrats with the
for-them-unhappy label of Mink
dynasty" during the last pres
idential campaign.
In Boston speech in Deem
ber. 1851, he referred to the Tru-
man Administration as the mall
odorous. mink-coated manipula-
tions of the desperadoes of de-
pravity, degradation and deceit
in Government"
Let us have no goose stepping
on the village green" he de-
clared in 1851, urging the Fed
eral Government to keep it's
fingers out of public recreation.
Talks of Siren Money.
On August 90, 1851, he told a
group of Virginia bankers that
far too often the very State
officials who cried with the
greatest alarm have yielded to
the bureaucratic will on Capitol
Hill. or have proStituted them
selves and their States before
the siren jingling of the money
bags on the Potomac"
All of the So words that roll
so easily off Mr.. McKeldin's
tongue did not originate with
him, of course. Like virtually
every other public official of
comparable status, he has a
ghost writer. He is the very
able former Baltimore Sun po-
litical writer, Albert w. Quinn,
now the Governors $9,900-a-
yCo1 PACoO SCCL CGdIy.
Gov. McKeldin wasn't always
the polished orator he is today.
He f1uffed his first speech.
Then Took Course.
He was Is at the time and had
prepared a 7-minute address
for an Epworth League meeting.
When he got up to speak, he
forgot all but 2 minutes of it.
Undismayed, he asked for an
other chance and Immediately
enrolled in q public speaking
course. He did so we'll he be-
came a teacher.
Since that day, he has literally
talked his way up the political
ladder.
1t would indeed be ironic if
the Democrats are able to tum-
BILE him to the bottom again by
convincing the voters that their
Governor talks too much.

Dalton 10 Open Office
In Lynchburg as Tour
OF State Continues
BY the Assoeioted Press


LYNCHBURG, Va, Sept. "a
Ted Dalton came to Lynchburg
today to open Republican head
quarters in the hope it will
further his campaign for Gov
ernor.
He came to Lynchburg from
Chesterfield County, where he
attended a reception of about
so persons in a private home.
He told his Chesterfield friends
that the door of the Governors
mansion will always be open to
you"
Order on Ballots
He also told them the Novem-
ber election ballots should list
the candidates in alphabetical
order. Nov % comes before
s. doesn't it," he asked.
The "S'' was IS" as in STAN
ley-ThomaS B. Stanley, who is
Mr.. Dalton's main opponent. If
the candidates were listed
alphabetically, however, Mr..
Dalton would follow Inde-
pendent candidate Howard Car
vile Of Richmond, who also has
entered the race.
In an interview yesterday, Mr..
Dalton said his 14,000-mile cam
paign tour around the State in
dicated he was strongest in the
9th, 10th and 9Th districts. He
also said he was strong in the
Richmond-area Sd District,
where he made luncheon
speech yesterday to about 100
members of the Lions Club.
He reviewed his stand on the
poll tax and said he wanted it
abolished because it restricted
the numbers of voters in Vir-
ginia.
Virginia will have a restricted
electorate. he said. until we re-
move the charge of an admission
fee to the voting BOOTH"
Carwide Hits Proposal.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Dalton was
criticized for his stand on the
transfer of Eastern State Hos
pital to the Dunbar site near
Williamsburg by Mr.. Carwide.
Mr.. Carwile said he made his
statements in a letter to Mr..
Dalton.
Mr.. Dalton proposed that the
State allow Colonial Williams
burg to complete the transfer of
Eastern State in Williamsburg to
Dunbar so the Williamsburg
restoration could be expanded to
the site now occupied by the
hospital and to speed up the re-
location of the hospital.
Mr.. Carwile wrote Mr.. Dalton
that "this proposed plan for
deciding a State hospital to
private corporation for 20 years
reeks with peril to the public
welfare and is f1agrantly uncon-
stitutional.p
He added that, if the transfer
is made, he would do everything
in his power to test the legality
of the procedure.

Gov. McKeldin probably will
go down in Maryland history as
it's "talkingest" Governor.
He rode to Baltimore's city
hall, to the Annapolis State
house and more recently to ma
tional fame chiefly through his
oratorical skill.
But now the Democrats are
trying to make a political
liability of his sometimes
sparkling, sometimes profound,
always eXuberant oratory. which
until now has been considered
his No. l asset.
The Democrats are saying the
Republican Governor is spend
ing too much time and making
too much money on speech
making tours, which take him
out of Maryland to distant
points all over the United States.
Fees Up to $1,000.
The States young Democrats,
taking their cue from former
Gov. William Preston Lane, jr.,
passed a resolution last week
end, condemning Gov. McKeldin
for taking too much time away
from his desk on his oratorical
Journeys. 1t looked like only the
beginning of an all-out Demo-
ratio assault on what may be-
come McKeldin's Achilles heel.
The Governor admits that,
since his inauguration on Janu-
ary l. 1851, he has averaged an
out-of-State speech every week
or so.
His fees run as high as 81 900.
He says he accepts no money
for talks in Maryland, which he
makes at the drop of a hat, some
times at the rate of three or
four in one day.
Maryland pays its Governor
only $4,000 a year, although it
supplies him with virtually all
the necessities of life, including
a stately mansion in Annapolis,
a corps of servants and a chauf-
feured Cadillac.
$4,000 Up to Voters.
Under a bill passed by the
1858 State Legislature, Mary
land voters will decide in No
vember. 1854, whether the Con-
stitution should be amended to
raise that salary to SIS, 900 start
ing January /, 1855. when Gov.
McKeldin's present term expires.
One of the sponsors of that
bill, Delegate j. PAUL Marshall,
Republican, of Montgomery
County. said. at the time, that
Gov. McKeldin had to run all
over the country making speeches
in order to earn enough money
to send Teddy, Jr., to college.

8 Bandits Flee
Police Gunfire
With Narcotics
Rob Drugstore
hrow Off Pursuit
And Escape in Cor

Three bandits last night held
up a Northeast drug store and
escaped with a large quantity of
narcotics and $50 in cash, after
a policeman fired three shots at
their getaway car.
julius Symons, 80, owner of
the Dakota Drug Store, 5567
South Dakota avenue NE, told
police two white men and a COL
ored man entered his store in
a single file about 9:45 pm.
The first man, he said, went
to the cash register, pulled a
blue steel long-barreled gun and
said, "This is a stickup. Give
me all Of your narcotics. mean
business"
The bandit then forced Mr..
Sgmons, who lives at 408 Oneida
street NE, to tell him where
the narcotics were kept and took
f1ve boxes from q lower drawer
behind the counter, police said.
Second Gets Cash.
The second man. Mr.. Symons
told police, scooped up about
$3.50 from the register.
Meanwhile, the third man, a
dark-skinned colored man, stood
at the door as a lookout, Mr..
SymonS said.
When the three left, Mrs.

the car when he was forced on
to the island. The last thing he
remembered, Pvt. White said,
was the left rear fender of the
fleeing auto striking his motor
cycle.
The speedometer of the
wrecked motorcycle showed so
miles per hour. The speed limit
on South Capitol street at that
point is 80 miles per hour.
Kenneth Bolick, 20. and E.
Wesley Roger. IS, both of Gran
lite Falls. N. c.. told police they
were driving south on South
Capitol street when the blue car
passed them at about so miles
per hour.
Mr.. Bolick said he noticed
the officer chasing the speeding
car. Then, according to Mr..
Bolick, the automobile veered
to the left and swerved to with
in inches of the island, forcing
the policeman to crash.
Pursuit Cut Short.
Mr.. Bolick and Mr.. Rogers
said they started to pursue the
automobile but were halted by
a red light.
A cab driver, Joseph Scalley,
43, of 5000 Twelfth street NE,
saw the accident and reported
it to the Military Police at Boil
ing Air Force Base. He also ra-
diced the tag number of the
speeding car to his dispatcher,
who relayed it to the police.
Police checked the tag number
and found it listed to Mr..
Abrams. They contacted his place
of business and were told he
was working at a construction
job in the 800 block of Chesa-
peake street Sc.
Located on Job.
When Motorcycle Policemen
Bernard C. Hollis and William
r. Graham arrived at the con-
struction job. they found Mr..
Abrams. At first he denied any
knowledge of the accident, police
said, but later declared:
Il know what you want, but
I called an ambulance.
At police headquarters, Mr..
Abrams told this story:
He was driving along South
Capitol street when he saw the
officer in his rear-vision mirror.
He said that when he saw the
officer overturn, he stopped and
went back to see if he was hurt.
Then he went in search of a tele-
phone, he said.
His statement. however. was
contradicted by witnesses who
said Mr.. Abrams did not get out
of his car.
