and music at Mary Washington
College here, who is opposing
Representative Howard w. Smith,
a Democrat. IT feel that he
should get the proper support.
IT am opposing Smith, I feel,
because he is chiefly against Eli

show their vote, and he is not
representing them from that
point Of view."
DR.. Lenhart acknowledged that
Mr.. Smith "has had a very en-
viable career and is recognized
as a very able candidate"
II just had a feeling if I were

Lewis, Ex-DipIomat,
Urqes Middle Course
International Policy
BY the Assoeioisd Press

RED RIG KSBURG, Va.
Sept. "A course somewhere
in between" crusading interna-
tionalism and isolationism was
recommended for the United
States tonight by senatorial can
didate Charles w. Lewis. jr.
Mr.. Lewis, retired diplomat
and independent Democratic
candidate who is opposing
United States Senator A. Willis
Robertson, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia said in a campaign ad-
dress this in-between course
should be coupled with an in
lection of common sense"
The United States "can and
should cooperate with other ma
tons in meeting the Russian
menace" Mr.. Lewis declared.
But he added other nations
will cooperate with us more
effectively if we do not attempt
to lead them with the crusaders
spirit and do not vainly attempt
to mold them in our own image"
Must Not Overextend.
This country, he said, should
"bear in mind that the legiti-
mate interests of other countries
and their particular points OF
view may not always coincide
with ours moreover, we
should also bear in mind that
there are limits to what we Car
do in extending assistance anc
protection to other nations with
out perilously weakening oul
own position.
what is desirable and what
is possible or practicable are
totally different things. Over.
extending ourselves in distant
lands will sap our strength while
affording no lasting protection
to those whom we would protect.
Must Preserve U. S. Strength.
The safety of the free world
lies in the preservation of the
strength of the United States
Mr.. Lewis told his audience, and
this strength must be conserved
and not frittered away in un-
necessary inducements. however
noble the objective might be-"

overreach ourselves before NOV
ing in for the kill-not by war.
which it dare not undertake, but
by subversion feeding on internal
weaknesses"
Craftsmanship must be the
United States answer, Mr.. Lewis
declared, instead Of money, "for
with our present mountainous
debt we no longer have any
money to spare"

Board Studies
Cooper'sP Plan
On Incinerator
Proposal Could
Save County Up
To ST Million

The Arlington County Board
yesterday was told of plan that
could save the country up to 81
million-the estimated cost Of a
new incinerator plant.
Wesley w. Cooper the newest
board member, submitted for
study a proposal that builders
be required to incorporate a
domestic garbage disposal incin-
orator in new homes.
He submitted copies Of ordi-
nances under which other cities.
principally in Ohio, have "satis-
factorily" used the plan. The in
Generator unit, he said, is guar
anteed to be safer than al hot
water heater and will reduce two
bushels of garbage to a handful
Of ashes.
Anticipating the need for addi-
tional garbage disposal facilities,
the County Board last month
appropriated $1,000 to have an
engineering firm study the cost
of a new incinerator plant. Yes
terday, County Manager A. T.
Lundberg said first results Of the
study show the plant will cost
approximately 81 million"
To Study Plans.
Mr.. Cooper, a Democrat who
was elected to the board last Mo-
vember, declared the domestic
incinerator ordinances will be
studied for possible application
In Arlington.
In other business, the County
Board approved two October
dates for public hearings on
xoning changes for Potomac
river-front property. On October
IL, a hearing will be held by the
Zoning and Land Use Committee
and on October 80 the County
Board will conduct q hearing.
On both occasions, coming reg
ulations and their relationship
to topography along the river
front will be under consideration.
According to a report from the
County Planning Office, non
residential uses also are being
considered. The report declared
1t may be desirable to encour-
age !. institutional uses of GER
tain types under controlled con-
ditions."
Interest in Study Plan.
The board also expressed
interest" in but deferred for
further study an educational
assistance plan under which coll
lege courses for county employees
would be subsidized.
Jack H. Foster, county per-
sonnet director, recommended
"only courses which have a di-
rect relationship to an employees
work" Cultural courses, he
said. should not be approved.
An employe would pay for his
tuition but the county would
refund tuition fees up to 500
annually for approved courses
after they are successfully COM
pleted.
County Manager Lundberg
was directed to make q survey
of the number Of employees who
might take the courses.

Ex-Deputy Sheriff
To Fight Rejection Of
His Ballot Petition

Guy e. Curtis. a former dep
uty sheriff for Prince Georges
County, announced last night
that the county election board
has rejected his petition to be-
come an independent candidate
for sheriff.
He said he will fight for a
court reversal of what he called
a "pressurized" election board
ruling.
Mr.. Curtis said the election
board notified him yesterday
that his name will not be on
November ballots because 255 of
the more than 900 persons who
signed his petition are not regis
tered voters.
when I filed just after the
June primaries" said Mr.. Curtis,
who operates a tavern at 7101
Central avenue. Seat Pleasant,
II offered more than 5000 names
but was told that it was UNI
necessary to turn in more than
a comfortable margin above the
500 legally required.
Charges Influences.
Powerful influences have OPP
Grated" Mr.. Curtis charged ito
delay the boards decision until
after the July 26 filing deadline
so that I would not have a
chance to supply additional sig
natures.
81 have retained counsel" he
declared. land will ask the court
to order my name on the ballot
or. failing in that, I will con-
test the election in so far as
the sheriff's Office is concerned"
Roland r. Ryon, clerk to the
county board of election supervi-
sors, said his board rejected Mr..
Curtis application Friday on ad-
vice of its counsel, George T.
Burroughs.
There was no pressure from
any source" Mr.. Ryon declared.
The board ruled Mr.. Curtis out
because Of the ineligible names
and because all sheets of the
petition did not have affidavits
as the law demands"
He explained that Mr.. Curtis
filed seven jackets. each with
several petition sheets but with
only one affadavit on the jacket.
Mr.. Ryon said he had not been
informed that Mr.. Curtis offered
more names than his office &C.
cepted and said it was his under
standing that Mr.. Curtis re-
marked when filing that he felt
certain his signatories were
qualified.
HAS Good Argument"
1--WE did not check the petit
tons Immediately" Mr.. Ryon
said, because of the volume of
post primary work and our
confidence in Mr.. Curtis. When
we did start we were surprised
at the number of ineligibles. If
we had expected that, an extra
force would have been employed
to check the petition sooner.
"It Is unfortunate that Mr..
Curtis was notified so late" Mr..
Ryon added. land I think he
has a good argument"
Mr.. Curtis said he has spent
more than $1,000 in five months
of campaigning and now has on
hand large quantities Of election
literature.
Mr.. Curtis has been am arch
foe Of the present Republican
sheriff, Carlton G. Beall. Mr..
Beall is not seeking reelection.
but his chief deputy, Ellis Duley,
is the G. o. P. nominee. The

is j. Lee Ball.
