Their Views

Underlying the debates Of their
campaign is this basic differ
ence:
Mr.. Small, is an economic con-
servative, who makes much point
of being a champion Of free,
private enterprise"
Mr.. Lankford, though not a
New Dealer, speaks out for Gov
ernment participation in shaping
the Nations economy whenever.
in his view, the public interest is
served.
The closest thing to a big issue
in the 5th District campaign in
wolves the tariff on Swiss
watches.
MIR, Lankford charges that
Southern Maryland tobacco
farmers stand to lose millions of
dollars" as the result of the
Presidents decision te raise
tariffs on Swiss watches. The
Swiss, ne adds, are the biggest
| purchasers Of high-grade Mary
land export tobacco "and If
Switzerland cannot sell her
watches in the United States be-
cause Of high tariffs. then she
will not continue to purchase
Maryland tobacco but will turn
to markets in other countries" !"
Mr.. Small says the challenger
"is unduly exercised about the
Tobacco, situation" He quotes a
letter he obtained from Robert
A. Owen, director Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture's tobacco
division, in which Mr.. Owen
states:
The Swiss viii have no diff
Guilty in obtaining dollars to buy
our tobacco. In 1858, they sold
us considerably more goods than
they bought from us. The Swiss
| currency is ,one OF the strongest
in the world and the econanny Il
booming"

SALISBURY, Md, Oct. 23.-
Gov. McKeldin launched the last
full week of his Republican bid
for reelection with a television
speech tonight in which he ac-
.cused DR.. H. C. Byrd, his Demo-
cratic challenger, of mounting
Misrepresentation"
It was the closest either candi-
date has come to using the word
s'liar" in a campaign which
promises to become even more
bitter as the November 2 elec-
tion deadline approaches.
Mr.. McKeldin. in an address
loaded with lavish figures Of
speech. said DR.. Byrd was guilty
of Misrepresentation" about a
proposed library at the Univer-
sity of Maryland and whether
the Veterans Administration was
"overcharged" for veterans tut
ton at the university.
Replies to Hall Charge.
The Governor, seeking to be-
come the first member of his
party ever reelected to Mary
lands top Office, also replied to
a Byrd charge that Avery w.
Hall profited improperly from
a State Roads Commission prof.
ect. Mr.. Hall; a Salisbury busi-
nessman, resigned from the COM
mission. Dr. Byrd later asked
whether a jetty construction
project was designed to increase
the value of property Mr.. Hall
owns north of Ocean City.
CDR. Byrd lives in a long past
era--the era of the demagogue's
delight" said Gov. McKeldin in
his speech prepared for delivery
over a Salisbury station.

ranny Tower has not caught up
with the miracle of the air waves,
or even with today's rapid trans
mission Of news over the press
wires. He still seems to think
the talk of his careless tongue
can be kept in the confines OF
the moments notice. =.
"He divides the State into Sec
tions and classifies them-some
| to be fooled in one way-some in
another" \
| Mr.. McKeldin then said DR.
Byrd. who resigned as University
of Maryland president to run for
Office. was telling voters that Nc
Keldin since 1850 had failed tC
provide adequate money for q

IT was not the Governor o1
Maryland in 1950-and DR.. Byrc

which he prepared a State budget
was 1852, the Governor added.
"It was in 1852 that the library

placed in the capital improve

Hartman Hits Ives
And Dewey 'Smears
On Union Busting
BY the Assoeiased Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.--Averell
Hartman today charged Gov,
Dewey and Senator Ives with
having "disregarded normal
standards Of honorable men" in
New York's glbernatorial cam
paign.
AT about the same time, Sem
ator Ives, the Republican candi-
date to succeed Gov. Dewey, was
delivering a ney personal attack
on Mr.. Hartman. He charged
the Democratic Liberal candi-
date with "union busting" on his
upstate farm.
Mr.. Harriman's statement took
note of previous attacks by Sem
ator Ives and Gov. Dewey. Sem
ator Ives had sought to link Mr..
Hartman with a 25-year-old pier
scandal. And Gov. Dewey Friday
night charged Mr.. Hartman with
profiteering in Q pre-war Polish
mine deal.

II want to make perfectly
clear my position on the
smear campaign that has been
undertaken by Dewey and Ives, "'
Mr.. Hartman said in a state
ment released while he was cam
paigning at Niagara Falls.
"I am revolted by it. I believe
that it tends TO undermine the
Democratic processes which we
as Americans prize"
He charged that Gov. Dewey
and Senator Ives had combed
newspaper files for stories OF
business conflicts and contro-
yersies" which Mr.. Hartman
said had been inevitable in his
extensive and active business
career"

McKeldin has predicted that
Representative Small will carry
the Southern Maryland district
by 5000 to $500 votes.
If he does, he'll be doing much
better than he did two years
ago, when, with President Eli
senhower at the top of his
ticket, he edged Mr.. Lankford
by only 1.039 votes (68.405 to
67,366).
Mr.. Small readily comedies
that his position on the Presi-
dents coattail was a great help
to him in 1882. but he figures
his record and the personal
services and fayors he has rem
dered to individual constituents
will more than make up for lost
coat-tail votes.

Swing Support 10
MckeIdir, Rap Byrd !
sy shs Associated Pros.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 23.-The
Baltimore Sunpapers came out
today In favor Of Republican
Gov. Theodore r. McKeldin for
over Democrat H. C.
Byrd. former University Of Mary
land president.
It marked the first time since
1895 the publications supported
q Republican for Governor. The
only other q. o. p. gubernatorial
candidate indorsed by the Sun
papers was Lloyd Lowndes, first
member Of his party to hold the
office.
"Until q few days ago." said
the Sun In q three-column lead
editorial, "the choice was not an
easy one. But, measuring their
respective qualifications as now
known, we have concluded that
there is far less risk involved in
e-electing Mr.. McKeldin than in
turning over the office to DR..
Byrd"
Praise His Courage.
Among qualities in the Gov
ernor which the Sun said in
fiuenced the decision were his
courage "in standing out against
the unsound scheme for raising
teachers salaries ad against the
recurring demands for a veter-
ans bonus;;" adamancy sin stick
ing by his decision to bring the
(Baltimore) harbor tunnel to
Fairfield instead of to Fort Nc
Henry" and forthrightness lin
stating that, so far as segrega-
ton is concerned, he represents
the law"
"The personal characteristics
Of DR.. Byrd" continued the edi-
torial, "are in remarkable con-
trast to those of his rival. He
is secretive by nature and hence
it is difficult to give q closeup
picture Of him.
90. outside sources have
produced evidence, so far un-
controverted, that DR.. Byrd has
been running a one-man show.
He has been arbitrary and die
tatorial this campaign Z.
has disclosed DR.. Byrd as fearful

viction. 70
Ignominious Exhibition.
| Ellis backing and filing on the
question of the soldiers bonus
/ was an ignominious exhibition.
He has no knowledge or appli-
cation of the States budget prob
lens. His charges against the
McKeldin administration have
been so exaggerated as to destroy
the effect of the grains of truth
in them.
Worst of all has been DR.
Byrd's effort to make capital out
of the segregation issue. Since
he cannot possibly affect the out
come one way or another, there
is deceit in this.
But worse than deceit is his
proven willingness to break the
rules by which this country mus
live for the sake of what he think,
is his own temporary politica
advantage. In this Dr.. Byrd has
made all thoughtful Marylanders
ashamed. ..

to showdown the great majority
of citizens will vote against the
