Candidate Pumphrey
Hits 'ManipuIators'
In Democratic Party

Leroy A. Pumphrey, candidate
for the Democratic nomination
for State Senator from Prince
Georges County, went on tele-
vision last night to attack what
he called the political manipu-
lators" of the Democratic Party
"who are more interested in con-
trolling the party than they are
in winning an election.
Mr.. Pumphrey is rounding out
his third term in the Maryland
House of Delegates and does not
have organization support in his
campaign for the State Senate in
the June % Democratic primary
election. The Democratic Central
Committee of Prince Georges
has indorsed Mr.. Humphreys op-
ponent, H. Winship Wheatley, jr.
Never Occurred to Him.
In his address over WMAL-TV
Mr.. Pumphrey said it never oc-
Cured to him when he filed
"that the political manipulators
would even want to bring some
one out against me-" He said
they could not have done it with
the idea of strengthening the
party or of finding an ex-
perienced man who could better
represent this county in the
Senate"
"I have heard it said of me
that I jumped the gum" Mr..
Pumphrey said, meaning. I
suppose, that I did not first
obtain permission from two or
three men before filing my can
didacy."
els this not q deliberate nulli-
f1cation of the direct primary
law-an attempt to usurp the
function of the party voters all
over the country?" he asked.
Not Mad at Anybody
Stating that he was mot mad
at anybody" Mr.. Pumphrey
told his listeners: "If you ap-
prove the boss system, if you
approve the multiplying of the
direct primary law. then I sup
pose you will not vote for me
at ALL"
Mr.. Wheatley, former States
Attorney and special prosecutor
in the county. said he will am
swer Mr.. Humphreys charges
when the Democratic organiza-
ton candidates go on television
on the evenings of June Is and

said last night he planned an
other TV speech next week.

Further Connections
| To 0vertaxed Sewer
| Banned in Fairfax

= No more large housing projects
may connect to the overloaded
Trips Run sewer in Fairfax
County until a relief line is
completed next spring.
The ban was voted by the
Board of County Supervisors
yesterday after it received an
inquiry from a developer who
wanted to connect a 150-home
project to the Trips Run sewer.
One week ago, the supervisors
were warned by DR.. Harold
Kennedy, county health officer,
that the Trips Run line was
dangerously overloaded and
overfowed into Trips Run and
Lake Bancroft in rainy weather.
A relief line has been ordered
by the supervisors to remedy the
situation, but it will take at
least a year to complete the job.
Trailer Action Held Up.
Mrs. Anne wilkins, who offered
the resolution to ban any large
new Trips Run connections.
said the order will not apply to
projects that already have re-
ceived commitments from the
county.
The Trips Run sewer passes
through what many developers
consider the county's most de-
sirable real estate for large scale
development. It runs from the
city of Falls Church to Lake
Bancroft, where it connects with
the Holmes Run sewer which
flows to the county's new dis
posal plant on Fort Hunt road.
The supervisors decided to
hold up further legal prosecution
of trailer dwellerS for the time
being, until Commemorative At
torney Hugh B. Marsh studies
the effect of a trial justice court
ruling that held the county's
trailer residence ordinance in
valid. The ordinance prohibits
occupancy Of trailers, except in
designated trailer parks.
Mr.. Marsh advised the super
viSors that a previous trial JUS
tice court ruling held the ordi-
nance valid, and that case was
being appealed. Although legal
prosecution of cases is being
held up temporarily. the county
plans to continue sending out
notices for trailer residents to
move.
Resignation Accepted.
Action on an ordinance re-
quiring all dogs in the county to
be inoculated for rabies was de-
ferred for one week. DR.. Ken
nedy said there were 10000 dogs
in the county. and only about
$500 had been inoculated under
the current voluntary program.
Three children in Fairfax County
have been bitten by rabid ami
mails recently.
The resignation Of Thomas E.
McConough as electrical in
spector of the county was &C
cepted by the supervisors with
deep regret" Mr.. McDonough
has been electrical inspector for
the past five years. His resigna-
ton is effective June 80. He ad-
vised the supervisors he had to
move to a different climate be-
cause Of his wife's health.

Alexandra Church
And Charity Group
Hit RedeveIopment

Alexandria'S proposed COM
mercial redevelopment program
yesterday drew opposition from
st. Mary's Catholic Church and
an affiliated charity organization.
the st. Vincent de Paul Society,
which called itself the largest
single property owner within the
project area.
In separate letters to Mayor
Marshall j. Beverley, the Right
Rev. MSgr. Edward L. Stephens.
pastor of st. Mary's, and officers
of the society called the plan
"conf1scatory," unnecessary"
unfair" "unChristianlike, 80
cialistic," and immoral in prin-
ciple."
The proposed redevelopment
plan covers about II acres
bounded generally by King, Pey-
ton, Duke, West and Commerce
streets. The st. Vincent de Paul
Society owns some Is pieces of
property within the project area,
most of them rental houses.
If the redevelopment plan is
approved by the city council, all
property within the area would
be acquired by the city and re-
sold for private commercial re-
DEVELOPMENT.
Income for Charitable Work.
Msgr. Stephens stated in his
letter that earnings from the
rental property owned by the
society enabled st. Mary's church
to carry out much charitable
work. He declared the entire
membership of his church-"ap-
proximately 1000, Of whom many
thousands enjoy suffrage"-was
vitally interested in the pro-
posed "conf1scatory movement"
The, Illonsignor said he be-
lieved the city already has anapie
commercial centers. If property
within the project area needs
physical sanitary improvements,
he said the city had ample
powers to require them. He
added: &
"St. Mary's Church, there
fore, goes on record as opposed
to the proposed redevelopment
program on the grounds that it
is immoral in principle both
from spiritual and democratic
point of view."
The letter from the st. Vim
cent de Paul Society was signed
by its officers, Msgrs. Stephens,
Emmett E. Lawler. James Dyson,
G. Raymond Hellmuth and John
A. Pierpoint.
Owners Plight Described.
Their letter repeated many of
the sentiments expressed by
Msgr. Stephens, and declared
that the property owners would
not have an equal opportunity
Ito defend their rights against
the prestige and wealth of the
city and Federal Govern
ment. -"
The society's letter added
that the redevelopment program
makes no consideration "for the
inconvenience and deep per-
sonal grief that comes to in
dividuals who are rooted from
their home by force of law in
order to turn their properties
over to commercial interests for
commercial gain"
Mayor Beverley, who has op-
posed the commercial redevelop-
ment program ever since it first
was proposed by the Alexandria
Redevelopment and Housing
Authority. declared that he be-
lieved the complaints of Msgr.
Stephens and the society were
just. He added that the con-
demnation of property for COM
mercial use was not "the demo-
cratic and American way"

as pastors and representatives
of your churches as the views
Of your respective congregations
without consulting with and
having the approval Of the

The statement on which the
conference is to vote today con-

problem.
2. That 1--WE recognize the obli-

4. That the conference state
