Arlington Democrats
To Pick Nominee for
Board on Monday

Because of a ruling by Vir-
ginia's Attorney General, Arling-
ton Democrats have advanced
the date of a county convention
to nominate a County Board
candidate to Monday night.
Leonard o. Hilder, Democratic
Executive Committee chairman,
said the nominating convention
could not be held July 20 as
originally scheduled because At
torney j. Lindsay Almond, jr.,
has held that all nominations
for the general election in No
vember must be made not later
than Tuesday.
Democrats will vote in pri-
maries Tuesday for candidates
for Governor, lieutenant-gover-
nor and for Al seats in the House
of Delegates. Arlington Demo-
Gratis did not decide to nominate
for the County Board until after
it was too late for candidates to
file in the primary.
A Democratic spokesman said
it had been hoped the Republi-
can candidate, Richard L. Parli,
w0uld withdraw, but when he
refused to do so the Democrats
could not let the Office go by
default.
Mr.. Hilder said the Monday
convention would be at 8 pm. in
the Lyon Village Community
House. Qualified Democrats
have until 8 pm. Monday to
file the party, loyalty pledge and
pay SIS fee as delegates to the
convention. Candidates for the
nomination have until the same
hour.
The Attorney Generals opinion
apparently applies to nomina-
tions made by the two major po-
litical parties and not to candi-
dates chosen by non-partisans.
Arlington non-partisans will
hold a meeting at 8 pm. July IT
in Stratford Junior High School
to indorse a County Board can
didate. Spokesman for both
the non-partisans and the Dem
ocrats expressed the belief that
the non-partisan candidate is
not a nominee in the sense of
being bound by the rule relating
to Tuesdays deadline.

erages was set tentatively at $6.-

Fenwick Says

Race for Governor
Against Heavy Odds
BY the Assoeiatsd Press


State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick said last night he dared to
announce" his candidacy for
Governor. even though he had
been advised it was not his turn
and he knew he would have to
compete against overwhelming
Odds"
Mr.. Fenwick spoke over televi-
sion station WLVA-TV in his
final appearance at Lynchburg
prior to the primary election
Tuesday. Last nights address
was the Arlington legislators
10th major television appear
ance during the gubernatorial
campaign.
He said he went into this
campaign fully aware that my
opponent has been running since
1945. that he had many name
commitments and that he had
wealth on his side"
professionals Back Opponent"
II also knew" Mr.. Fenwick
continued. that the professional
politicians and a small group of
off1ceholders who are more in
terested in perpetuating them
selves in Office than in the well
fare of the Commonwealth
would be supporting him.
knowing this, I still dared to
announce my candidacy. I did
this because my love of the
Commonwealth was such that I
could not sit idly by and see a
man elected Governor whose
record in the Legislature and
Congress indicated no interest
in the people, or the welfare of
the State.
When I proposed to announce
my candidacy, I was told that
1t was not my turn; that I could
not win. made up my mind
that this was a decision for the
people and not a small group of
professional politicians"
Mr.. Fenwick asserted the
campaign of his opponent,
Thomas B. Stanley, "haS been
one of name announcements and
lavish entertainment for the
voters. 1t has been marked by
complete indifference to the
people on important issues"
Cites Stand by "Clique."
Mr.. Fenwick said in a state
ment in Richmond that Mr..
Stanley docs not deny the fact
that a small clique of profess
sional officeholders in Richmond.
on the basis of commitments
made over a period of eight
years, are supporting him for
Governor and that it is this
group who are asserting that it
Is his turn"
Mr.. Stanley, answering Mr..
Fenwick's statement, said he
welcomed the support of all Vir-
ginians and that his intention,
If elected, is to be Governor of
all the people and not just one
section or one particular group.
IF Mr.. Fenwick will state pub
licly that he has never solicited
any of these off1ceholders and
does not want their support,
will believe that he is sincere
in his statement" Mr.. Stanley
said.

Farley Set for Early
Care Of Morningside
Sanitary Problems

Morningside may solve its
sanitary problems promptly, if
officials Of the nearby Maryland
town formally request extension
of Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission mains.
That viewpoint was expressed
yesterday by the Prince Georges
County commissioners. who plan
to consider relief measures with
the sanitary commission on an
unspecified date next week.
Foreman Ernest L. Hines and
other members of the county
grand jury will present informa-
ton gathered in their investiga-
tion at the joint conference, if
court permission is obtained.
Commissioners Edward j. Wa
tiers and w. Everett Marion
meeting in Upper Marlboro yes
terday suggested the conference
after reviewing impressions
gained when their board toured
the town a week ago.
Consider Suggestions.
They also discussed Mayor H.
w. Shugart's informal plea for
a special session Of the General
Assembly and an alternate pro-
posal advanced by Albert r. Has
sail, Republican chairman of the
county's legislative delegation.
Mayor Shugarts said a special
session may be necessary be-
cause sanitary commission water
and sewer lines at Suitland,
about 2 miles away, cannot be
extended to Morningside while
the town is outside commission
boundaries.
Mr.. Hassall proposed that
mains be laid at once, provided
county legislators agree in writ
ing to enact a law at the next
session bringing the town within
the commissions area. He
added that similar arrangements
have twice previously been ef-
fected by the present delegation.
Sewage Main Problem.
Mr.. Waters told his colleagues
that sewage disposal. rather than
a water shortage, is the munich
pality's pressing need. He re-
called that their inspection
showed that sewage from septic
tanks in non absorbent soil spills
over lawns and streets through
out the 500-home community.
Mr.. Waters labeled the towns
sewage quandry most acute"
and expensive to solve because
of engineering difficulties.
