New Market Banker,
Nephew Still Sought
In S114,5OO Theft
Special Dispoteh TO The Siar

NEW MARKET, Va, Oct. s.
Two men, one of them a director
of New Markets only bank, were
still sought today in connection
with theft of $114,500 in cash
and -negotiables.
A third man, Theodore RooSe-
velt eahm, ST., 56-year-old vice
president and treasurer of the
bank and a former mayor of
New Market, is facing charges of
embezzlement.
Canadian police have been
asked to watch for Don r. Simp-
son, SIS, the bank director, and
his nephew, Charles r. Simp-
son, 30.
The search turned to Canada
after Beahm's return from there
on Monday, saying he had been
forced to open the vault last
Saturday and give the money to
an unknown man and Simpson.
Beahm said the two then kid
naped him and took him to
Canada.
Later, according to the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation,
Beahm was unable to substan-
tiate the story and admitted
that he and Simpson followed
a preconceived plan to clean
the bank of funds and leave
New Market.
None of the money has been
recovered.

McKeIdin Calls GIs Best
Antidote for Communism
By the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 3.-Gov.
Theodore r. McKeldin said last
night that a well-fed, we'll
clothed and well-paid service
man who might create envy
abroad is the United States best
agent against communism.
"I would hazard the guess"
the Governor said in a speech
here, that the good solid leather
in a pair of American Army
shoes, viewed by a soldier of
Communist China, carries more
conviction than all the propa-
ganda pamphlets he ever saw.
Wherever American forces
are stationed, they impress the
populace with their kindness to
children, their help to the
needy" Gov. McKeldin told a
national convention of the
Quartermaster Association.
"The people of these lands
cannot help thinking: What a
country that America must be. !"

Five in Fairfax Seek
New Supervisor Post

Fairfax County voters will have
a choice of five candidates when
they go to the polls November 3
to choose a new seventh member
for the Board of County Super
viSors.
The candidates, who filed be-
fore the deadline today, are c.
B. Runyon, Theodore R. Arrants,
James A. Lawrence, Walter B.
Jamison and Warren D. Quen-
stedt.
A sixth candidate, Paul Reiber.
previously announced he would
file, but decided at the last min
ute to withdraw.
Mr.. Reiber, Democrat, said
he decided to pull out because
the Republican Executive Com
mittee announced it's support of
Mr.. Lawrence as the G.. o. P.
candidate. Mr.. Reiber declared:
"By designating a Republican
candidate, the Republican Coun-
ty Committee brought partisan
considerations into the cam
paign. If numerous Democrats
persist in campaigning, the
Democratic votes could be di-
vided and a Republican elected.
This seems particularly unfor-
tunate when many people feel
that more than one of the
Democratic candidates is well
qualified to serve"
The election is a special one
to fill the newly created seventh
seat. The board now has six
members, one representing each
of six former magisterial dis
tricts. The seventh seat was
created by redistricting.
The new supervisor will repre-
sent the county at large, until
1866. Thereafter, all seven
supervisors will be elected by

GoIIows, Judge Rule!
spseioI Dispatch TO The stor

LA PLATA, Md, Oct. 3.-Her-
bert Smallwood, 23-year-old
timber worker, was sentenced to
life imprisonment yesterday for
the murder last May of Clarence
Wheeler. "a, in his lonely tavern
near RiSon, Md.
SmallWood, colored, was con-
Victed in July of first degree n1ur-
der for beating the tavern keep
er to death as he lay sleeping in
a rear room of his establishment
and then attempting to destroy
evidence Of the crime by setting
the body on fire.
The brutality Of the crime
warranted the death penalty,
Circuit Court Judge j. Dudley
DiggeS said in an imposing SEN
tence, but because of Smallwood' S
low mentality the court felt
hanging was not proper in his
case.
Classified as Low Moron"
Judge Digges and Chief Judge
John B. Gray. jr., who presided
at SmallWood's trial, had before
them a report by the psychiatrist
of the Baltimore Supreme Bench
which characterized Smallwood
as slow moron"
The report said Smallwood
bordered on being feeble-minded
and his mentality barely met
the legal requirements for dis
tinguishing right from wrong. In
his % years Smallwood has spent
eight of it in penal institutions.
Smallwood showed no signs of
emotion over his sentence. He
was led to the Charles County
Jail to await transportation to
the Maryland State Penitentiary.
SmallWood broke into the
Wheeler tavern early on the
morning of May 18, robbed the
cash box and later returned, &C
cording to testimony at his trial.
beat Mr.. Wheeler to death and
then set fire to his bed.
Out of Prison Three Days.
The fire was discovered by
neighbors and extinguished. A
few hours later Smallwood, who
lived half mile away and had
been out of prison only three
days, was picked up as a sus-
pect.
In one of his shoes were found
blood bills and behind
his house in the weeds was found
a pistol stolen from the tavern.
SmallWood submitted to a lie
detector test which indicated his
guilt, according to Washington
detectives who testified. At his
trial Smallwood said he was so
drunk the night of the crime he
could not remember whether or
not he had killed and robbed

Extra Protection
From School
vanda|sS Studied
Burglar Alarms Or
Protective Agency
Under Consideration
By james 6. Deone

~SSut$S ~ SS0uS
Drastic action to combat bur-
glars and vandals soon will be
proposed by District school off,
cials.
Under consideration are:
/. Installing burglar alarms.
2. Hiring private protective
agency.
3. Hiring more night watch
men.
Associate Supt. John M. Riecks
said today one of these steps
probably will be proposed at the
next Board of Education meeting
on October 81. Which one, hasn't
been decided yet.
Officials have been discussing
emergency action since last sum-
mer. Vandals and burglars cost
the school system 500, 900 in the
fiscal year ended June 80, and
recent losses have continued
high.
Depend on Police.
The school system now is re-
lying almost entirely on city
police protection, but many pre-
cincts haven't been able to keep
up with the need, Mr.. Riecks
said. Police officials say they
haven't enough men.
No schools have burglar
alarms, and only senior high
schools, the Franklin admin
istration building and a ware.
house have night watchmen.
About 25 school buildings
"hot spots" for vandalism and
burglary-are being considered
for burglar alarms, Mr.. Riecks
said. Herbert A. Friede, District
electrical chief. has been asked
for an estimate on cost.
Electric Eye System.
The alarm systems using elec-
trio eyes would be connected
directly to police precinct sta
tions where they would give i'm
mediate notice of break-in.
AS an alternative, school off,
GERS have asked for a price
from private protective agency
for motor patrol service. The
agency, national organization,
is widely used by the Federal
Government, according to Mr..
RieckS.
The school board tried to get
an emergency appropriation OF
100000 for 80 more Watchmen
last January, but the Commis-
sioners turned them down. Last
July the school boards finance
committee refused to put the
same item in the l954-55 budget.
Mr.. Riecks said he doubted
whether any of the proposed
protective measures could be put
in effect before next summer. 1t
would be possible to seek a Spe-
cial supplemental appropriation
before then, however.
School board members yester-
day were sent a lengthy sum-
mary of vandalism and burglary
losses for the last year. Dr.. Corn
ing said in a covering letter that
the protective agency idea was
under study.
Mr.. Riecks said such a service
probably would cost considerably
less than more watchmen. He
said he didn't know about the
probable cost of burglar alarms
yet.
Pittsburgh's public schools are
using a private protective
agency, he said.
