Bow|es Says NAAWP
Supports DR.. Byrd
By the Associo,ed Pres,

BALTIMORE, Oct. 3O.--W.
Bryant Bowles, president of the
National Association for the
Advancement of White People,
said today his organization
highly indorses" the candidacy
of DR.. H. c. Byrd for Governor
of Maryland.
"McKeldin has got to CO." said
the Bowles statement, referring
to DR.. Byrd's Republican rival.
II have high hopes that Byrd,
when he is elected, will try to
keep the races from mixing and
mongrelizing in Maryland. I be-
Ieve his record at the University
Of Maryland shows it."
The Endorsement drew a mild
rebuke tonight from Mr.. Byrd.
Neither I nor anyone in my
headquarters had anything to dc
with it or knew anything about
it," he said. He is making a cam
paign tour of Allegany County.
1--WE in Maryland do not look
kindly on outside interference
with our affairs" he added, "as
we are fully capable of handling
them ourselves"

Falls Church 10 Vote
On s991,OOO School
improvements Plan
Falls Church voters will decide

Falls Church voters will decide
on Tuesday whether to spend
$991.0 900 ton city schools to
provide for increased enrolment
and erd the use Of substandard
buildings.
The bond issue is a substitute
for an SS00.0O0 program ap.
proved in a referendum last
March but held invalid in court
The election was contested on
grounds that ballots of property
owners and other voters were in
termingled.
To Protect Balloting.
Elaborate precautions are be-
ing taken by election officials to
insure validity of Tuesdays vote.
The city's three polling places
the police station told city hall)
for Ward /: Madison School,
Ward 2, and Broad Street Motors.
Ward 3-will be open from 6 am.
| to 6 pm.
In accordance with a city
charter provision, the votes of
! property owners are counted
separately from those of other
qualified voters. To win ap-
! proval. the bonds must be ap-
proved by a majority of property
owners and also by a majority of
| the combined vote of both cate
gorieS.
The March bond issue passed
by a narrow margin, Lut school
officials expect a wider margin
OF approval this time, because
major objections to the previous
program have been met.
| The $991 900 program had
been set at 81 million but when
a new Federal grant of $4,000
was received, the amount re-
quested from bonds was reduced
13 Rooms Substandard.
Ihlrteen present claSSrOOms
are substandard. These include
temporary buildings at Madison
and Jefferson, and 80-year-olC

dents are on halliday sessions
Enrolment has risen from
1,144 in 1851 to 1.700 and is ex.
pected to rise to more thar
1000 by 1856.
The program would provide
for the entire foreseeable neee
for elementary school space
Funds for addition to George
Mason High School would com

The city has $4,000 from the
Federal Government to pay part
of the cost of adding to Mount
Daniel Elementary School.
The School Program.
The 1891 900 would be spent
this way:
Acquire Oak Street Elementary
School from Fairfax County.
$327.000. The exact price has
not been set, but Fairfax school
officials have agreed to transfer
the school. Oak Street was built
by the county while Falls Church
was part of the county school
system. The city school system
was set up in l949.
Modernize Madison Elemen-
tary School, 100000. This money
would help bring Madison facili-
ties into line with those to be
available in other schools.
Add to Mount Daniel School.
$15l 900 (plus $4,000 in Fed
eral funds. Six classrooms, a
cafeteria study room and gen.
eral-purpose room would be
built.
Add to George Mason, $337. 900.
Nine claSSroomS. a cafeteria
study room and permanent shop
would be built at the high school.
The bond issue also includes
$4,000 for Improvement of sites.
! See No Tax Increase.
The school board expects that
no increase in the tax rate will
be needed to pay off the bond
issue. The present city budget
includes provision for pay
ment on the invalidated $780,
900 bond issue. The earlier issue
was to be paid off over 25 years:
by extending this period to 80
years. the board expects that
annual payments on the higher
amount will be about the same
as previously planned.
A $685., 900 bond issue for water
system improvement also will
be on the ballot. The proposal
won approval last March but at
that time the ordinance guar
anteed payment of the bonds
from revenue only. BY making
the bonds a general obligation
of the city, city officials say they
will sell more readily, although
they will be paid off in the same
manner as originally planned.

candidate. she has said she was
opposed to use of UNESCO ma

There seems to be no doubt
that the battle between the
Smith Kramer team and Mr..
Bulls and Mrs. Edwards has
overshadowed any issues in the

other candidates.
One result of the present cam

Workers in both parties in
Montgomery County will be
beating the bushes for voters
right up to poll closing at Z pm.
Tuesday.
No heavy turnout is antici-
pated. The experts are predict
ing a normal ff-year vote of IS
to 10 per cent of the registra-
tion.
At stake are 26 State and
county officers. a House seat,
seven school board posts and
II referendum questions.
The apathy on the national
scene is prevalent IN the county.
Democratic spokesmen, how
ever, feel there is a strong silent
vote of Federal employees that is
going to rise up in protest be-
hind the closed curtain Of the
polling booth"
One Republican worker said
the party machinery is geared
to get out 80 per cent of the
registered Republican vote.
Democrats have been over
joyed at the hard-hitting cam
paign of Edward J. Ryan to
GUST Republican Dewitt S.
Hyde from the House. Mr..
Hyde's voting record has been
under ceaseless fire since the
Frostburg attorney set out to
make himself known in Mont
gomery.
Forecast For Hyde.
Mr.. Hyde's strength in the.
county has been damaged by
recent public disclosure of the
White House Jobs for Repub-
licans" program. Democrats
feel many Federal employees will
go to the poll as result of this
publicity and vote the rest of
the party ticket.
The Citizens for Eisenhower
Committee says samplings in
some 18 precincts indicates Mr..
Hyde should carry the county
by 10000 votes. That's equal
to his plurality in the Eisen-
hover sweep two years ago.
A Republican spokesman
yesterday predicted the full
G. o. P. slate would win by 1000
to 5000 votes. Topping the
vote, he said, will be Gov. Nc
Keldin.
A "clean sweep" for the Demo-
Gratis was the prediction of a top
party official. He said the cam
paign emphasis placed on the
ticket as a balanced team" will
bring on the sweep"
The two party platforms are
noticeable by their similarity.

Hopes 10 Hold Gains
In Prince Georges
BY Chorles A. McAIeeF

By Chorles A. McAleer
Some s6,53l Prince Georges
County residents are eligible to
vote on Tuesday In an election
in which the Republican Party
hopes to retain the control 1t
won in 1850 for the first time in
a quarter century.
This is more than 81 900 above
the number of eligibles four
years ago, when the G. O. P.
swept into Office with the help
of Democratic votes.
Polls will be open Tuesday
from Z am. to Z pm. at the
county's 55 voting precincts.
Beside the State and congress
sional contests, votefs also will
decide on 10 local races and on
nine constitutional amend
mentS.
Both Sides Confident.
Both sides are expressing con-
fidence in a victory. but there
is some concern among both
Democrats and Republicans as
to the number Of voters who will
participate. A light vote, ac-
cording to some observers, will
favor the Democrats.
| Of the total eligibles 5000
are Democrats, compared to 3d.
100 Republicans. The rem" n
| ing 1851 registrants declined to
list their party affiliations.
In 1850 total of 54,776 were
eligible. They included 1892
Democrats, 15,167 Republicans
and 1887 non-affiliated voters
Some 37,000-odd voters went to
the polls and gave the victors
margins ranging from a mere
100 or so votes up to several
thousand.
State Senator John Raymond
Fletcher. the Republican incum-
bent who is seeking reelection
this year, won over his Demo-
cratic opponent, L. Harold Soth-
oron, 17,400 to 16,600. His to-
tai, like that of most of the
others in his party, exceeded
the number of registered Repub-
licans.
The Republicans are basing
their campaign this time on
-four years of unprecedented
progress" They claim they
have lived up to all their 1856
campaign promises, including a
pledge to end "crime and cor
ruption" which they said existed
under the Democratic political
machine" Their 1854 platform
leans heavily on this record and
promises more clean, efficient
government"
Democrats Hit "Extravagance. u
The Democrats say the Repub-
licans have not lived up to their
promises. They accuse the pres
ent county government OF
waste. duplication and extrava-
gance." They have their own
22-point platform which prom
ises a full program of improved
services and "better administra-
ton" They feel they are favored
by the nearly 2-to-1 registration
OF Democrats over Republicans
! Both parties are we'll organized
! at the precinct level, more SO
| than at any time for the Repub-
/ licans. Each expects sufficient
numbers of the "old faithful to
go to the polls Tuesday. The
leaders believe. however, that the
others, particularly newcomers in
the county, will be the deciding
| factor.
AS was the case in the party
primaries last June, all voters
will be required to sign voting
authority cards giving their pres
ent home addresses. This will be
the first election in which such
a procedure has been carried
out. It was directed by the
county's Board of Election
Supervisors in order to bring
registration information up to
date.

Bonds for Building Site.
S. Shall the County Board /. !.
issue bonds in the amount
OF 100000 for the purpose of
providing funds for the acquisi-
ton of sites for county build
ingS?
This plan calls for buying 2.3
acres near the Courthouse for
future construction and for off
street parking. County officials
favor this site because it would
permit them to integrate future
activities with existing buildings.
The Civic Federation contends
that price of about 100000 an
acre would be too high, even for
the purpose.
The bonds also would acquire
7-acre site between Fairfax
drive and Washington boulevard
near Washington-Lee High
School for a future central Ii
brary. health clinic, recreation
center and off street parking.
The federation also opposes this
plan, contending that less ex-
pensive land could be found in
some other area. County plan
ners say that any equally con-
venient property will cost just
as much.

method of disposing of trash
and garbage will be needed to

proved.

All fire stations in the county
except the one at darlington, are

NewSHde
Closure
Fits All
By EIeni

When something new Is de-
signed and answers a real
need. people are apt to say it
was about time it came on the
market. They might even
adopt a friendlier attitude and
be glad somebody was smart
enough to do something about
the situation.
$ Where a new slide-closure
called "slide-fit" is concerned.
we'll sit on the fence and
quietly agree with both fac
tions.
It is about time such a gim-
mick was made available to
the general public rather than
just to fine ready-to-wear
firms. At the same time we're
glad that such a product has
arrived on the scene regard
less of how long it took to get
here.
The device. which consists Of
two parts, a track and a slider,
comes in eight basic colors in
4 and 6 inch lengths. It's
easily applied and gives quick
and perfect adjustment.
When put into the waist
bands Of slacks. shorts, play
suits. tennis skirts, gardening
apparel and children's clothes
it provides greater freedom Of
movement than any combina-
tion of buttons, hooks or snaps.
Many a mother will greet
with enthusiasm the news that
she can stitch on this new
talon design and have her
youngsters straps and sus-
penders go up or down as
needed without constant al
terationS.
Gone, too, are unsightly let
out seams that show and the
irritation Of always having to
sew on buttons that get broken
or have been lost when the
little ones play fast and furi-
ously.
Youngsters blue jeans,
trousers, pinafores, overalls
and skirts all can have the
adjustable closure put on them.
The new attachment can be
used on a wide variety Of
fabrics. On belts 1t eliminates
perforations and the bulging
belt buckle.
It's the answer. too, for q
waistline that needs o little
room after a good dinner or,
for that matter, If you're diet
ing, the waistline that needs
to be pulled in because you've
lost so much weight.
