BALTIMORE. Oct. 27Re-
publican campaigners in Mary
land today were striking back at
Democratic appeals to the So
called veterans vote. as Gov.
McKeldin made some final ef-
forts on the Eastern Shore.
With the election only six days
away, the Governor and his rum
ming mate were dividing UP
chores in answering last-minute
blasts from the forces of DR.. II.
C. Byrd, Democratic candidate
for Governor.
MIR. McKeldin's attorney gen.
eral. Edward D. e. Rollins. ac-
cused Dr.. Byrd of using the
fascist technique of the "big lie" :"
He attacked an organization
known as Veterans for Byrd for

'Big-Lie' Technique Charged
TO Byrd to Win Veteran Vote

flooding the state with d letter
stating that Gov. McKeldin has
made q sucker of every veteran
In Maryland"
The letter adds that the Gov
ernor pledged. in 1850, TO submit
the veterans bonus question TO
referendum but vetoed the
only bonus bill passed on to him
by the Legislature In his four
year administration.
Takes Responsibility.
Mr.. Rollins told q rally in
Cumberland last night that he
took full responsibility for adj
vising the Governor to veto" a
$100 million bonus bill passed in
the closing minutes of the 1854
Legislature because it was
clearly unconstitutional when 1t
was passed"
Mr.. Rollins said the bill, which
would have financed the bonus
through increased taxes on liquor
and beer, was moved by the
House before the budget bill had
been approyed--an unconstitu-
tional procedure.
A soldiers bonus bill has come
before the Maryland Legislature
in every session since World War
II and has always been defeated
until this year.
The Veterans for Byrd letter
states that "Curley Byrd
has pledged himself to submit the
veterans bonus to q vote Of the
people after the Legislature
passes the appropriate bill"
Mr. Rollins also blasted DIR.
Byrd for trying to win votes on
the segregation issue.
"Un-American" Issue.
"It's un-American in these
days and times-when the Com
munist menace Is constantly be-
fore us-to bring a racial issue
into a political campaign" he
fairly shouted to the audience OF
about 200 in Cumberland's Cen
ter Street Methodist Church.
ANY one who seeks to divide
this Nation-divide black and
Whites not fit to serve as Gov
ernor," Mr.. Rollins added, as
the audience cheered.
Gov. McKeldin directed his
attention to last-minute attempts
by DR.. Byrd to firm up support
from volunteer firemen. In q
speech last night in Firemen's
Hall in Hancock, the Governor
said DR.. Byrd's record as Univer-
sity of Maryland president shows
that she would attempt the sub
jugation Of volunteer firemen and
fire companies through one
means or another"

BALTIMORE. Oct. 27.-The
record of Gov. McKeldin's Re-
publican administration in the
enforcement Of motor vehicle
laws and the conduct Of the
courts by appointed trial magis-
trates approaches a public
scandal" DR.. II. G. Byrd. DEM
ocratic candidate for Governor.
charged today.
He referred to Motor Vehicle
Commissioner Thomas B. r.
Mudd of LaPlata and the trial
magistrates as "the little gang
OF McKeldin political cronies
who give Maryland third-rate
governmental services in return
for the highest taxes Maryland
ers have ever paid"

pared statement from headquar-
ters as he made a bid for labor's
vote by going on a Misunderstanding
tour of stevedore union halls in

part Time Employee"
DR.. Byrd said the motor vehicle
commissioner conducts himself
as a part-time employe" whose
visits to his Office are "infre-
quent and casual, in contrast to
the practice under Democratic
administrations, when this i'm
portant position was considered
a full-time Office"
DR.. Byrd. who retired as pres
ident of the University of Mary
land to seek the Governors S
chair, added: "The commission
er's attitude is inexcusable but
understandable since he un-
doubtedly follows the precedent
Of his superior, Gov. McKeldin.
"The Governor treats his Office
like a part-time job, giving such
moments as he can spare from
his busy round Of speaking en-
gagements. The voters can end
this regime of confusion and
cronyism by voting Democratic" "
The trial magistrate singled
out specifically in the Democrats
charges is Stanley Scherr, chief
magistrate of Baltimore. who was
one of Gov. McKeldin's 1850
campaign managers.

Mr.. Hyde said Mr.. Ryan made
that statement after he had
defended the recent Republican

The Congressman said his op-
ponent's remark reflected the
"old Henry Wallace philosophy
of scarcity" He added that he
was not sure whether Mr.. Ryan
realized what he was expressing
because he's got a hold of some

'Scottsboro Boy Held
In SIashing Of Wife
BY the Associated Press

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 49,
James Andrew Wright, one Of
the nine Negroes convicted in
the celebrated "Scottsboro case"
in Alabama a generation ago.
was arrested today on a charge
of second-degree assault.
Police said Wright, AZ, slashed
his estranged wife, Shirley, 81,
about the hands and neck with
a butcher knife in her apart
ment here.
At his arraignment in Police
Court, Wright blurted out: II
plead guilty. I cut her" But
Justice M. Michel Debris ex-
plained to Wright he could not
plead guilty to a felony in that
court.
Wright then waived examina-
ton and was held for the grand
jury.
It was Wright's second arrest
since he came to Albany in 1850.
He was tried and acquitted in
1852 on a rape charge involving
q 13-year-old girl.
Wright came here on parole
after serving II years in prison
for rape in the Scottsboro, Ala,
case. He had a job In a knit.
ting mill near here.
Twenty-three years ago, he
and eight other Negroes were
accused of raping two white
women in a freight car near
Scottsboro. Wright was sem
fenced to death, but the United
States Supreme Court granted
him a new trial. He was con-
victed again and sentenced to 80
years in prison..
