By ALEX R. PRESTON

The hottest campaign now
going on In Arlington Is the
battle to wrest from Republicans
their l6-year-old grip on the
county treasurer's Office.
The Job pays s.. 9.475 q year but,
nevertheless. is one Of the States
juiciest political plulns because
Of the opportunities it offers to
repay political debts. At present
the treasurer Is bonded for $3.l
million and can designate the
agent or agents who viii split
the approximately $4,000 COM
mission on these bonds.
Next to the Fairfax director
Of finance, the Arlington trea-
surer's office carries the highest
bond in Virginia.
Challenger for the Job is q
hard hitting Democrat. J. May
nard Magruder. a proven vote
getter who is retiring from the
Virginia House of Delegates to
make this race. In previous elec.
|tions 1t was not unusual for Mr.,
Magruder to lead the entire
Democratic ticket In the number
of votes cast.
But Colin C. Macpherson. the
incumbent who seeks to hold
ON to the office, also has def1-
|onstrated in previous rough-and-
tumble bouts that he packs q
political wallop as potent as Mr.
Magruder.
Started with Green
The campaign just could mol
have progressed very far without
Involving one Of the county''
most controversial figures Johr
Locke Green, the attorney.
It was l6 years ago that Mr.
Green scored a phenomenal up
iset in defeating the Democrats
political boss, Charles T. Jesse
for treasurer. Mr.. Green ran Al
IA Republican and four years late
was reelected as q Republican
lStill under g. o. r. banner, h
twas elected q third time, but thei
lhad q falling out with his party

IMr. Green by then an indepen
dent-the latter lost out In
close race.
/ One Of the MacPherson tactic
Twas to use. as campaign material
Iportions Of q letter to Mr.. Gree
from a bank where county fund
,lwere on deposit. It showed tn

for $l.85i.50 in payment 70

this was the judges statement
land not the finding of the jury.
Furthermore. the Republican In
lsists, there was nothing to In
Idicate that fraud was charged
Ior that evidence Of fraud was
offered at the trial.
More recently, Mr.. Magruder
has continued on the offensive
by charging his opponent with
using taxpayers money to re-
pay political debts TO Repre-
sentative Broyhiil. Republican Of
Virginia. MI. MACPHERSON has
stated that he has given most
Iof the S3.1 million bond business
ito the firm Of M. T. Broyhill
|6s Sons, a real estate and insur-
!ance firm
ThiS amounts to more than
I$32 900 in premiums for the four
years Mr.. MacPherson has been
treasurer" Mr. Magruder said.
I''It means that commissions Of
between $1,000 and $4,000 Of
taxpayers money was used In Q
political payoff."
Speaks Of Rights
The Republican freely states
Ihe has the right 70 designate
which bonding agent shall have
the business. He contends, too
that since he Is holding q po-
liitical job and was aided in iis
election by Representative Broy-
Ihill, he is entitled to give the
Broyhill firm the bond business
But. Mr.. Macpherson points out
lonly bond firms approved by the
State can act as surety agents
land the Broyhill firm represent;
approved firms.
