party.
The Young Democrats conven-
ton was all set Friday night to
push through q strongly worded
resolution condemning the in
activity of State Party Chair
man T. Barton Harrington and
calling on him to step aside for
a more vigorous leader.
But due to the overnight eff
forts of Mr.. Harrington and
Mayor D'Alesandro Of Baltimore
two sideliners whose ages pre-
vented their direct participation
In the convention-the resolu-
ton was defeated so to 43.
It's sponsor, Lloyd Simpkins Of
Somerset County, national Young
Democratic committeeman and
chairman Of the judiciary Com
mittee of the House of Delegates
said he didn't realize when he
introduced his resolution. thai
I was stepping on the toes of the
Mayor of Baltimore City"
"Rig Boy Pressure"
"a lot of pressure was brought
Ito bear here last night" Mr.
Simpkins charged. And now
many of you are saying: Take it
easy, boys. It's all right for US
Young Democrats to have o.
little meeting and our little
cocktail party in Ocean City, but
let the big boys in marble halls
lin Baltimore call all the shots.
They know what's best for U.S. !"

prominently mentioned as a
candidate for Congress from
Maryland's First District. de-

most of the vote which went to a

probably will be to Mr.. Arthur
cutting Mr.. Evatt's lead to less

Mr.. Evatt, president of the U

troversial figure in Australian
politics. Mr.. Menzies called the
election nearly two years early in
order to take advantage of Mr..
Evatt's attitude toward the
Petrov spy case.
Vladimir Petrov detected as
third secretary at the Russian
Embassy in Canberra and asked
for political asylum in Australia.
He turned over to the govern
ment documents disclosing an
elaborate Communist spy net
work extending beyond the
shores OF Australia.
Mr.. Evatt criticized the govern
ment's handling of the case. He
wrote to Soviet Foreign Minister
". M. Molotov about the au-
thenticity of the Petrov docu-
.ments and said Mr.. Molotov in
formed him they we're forgeries.
In the campaign Mr.. Menzies
accused his Labor rival of "traf-
ticking with Molotoy."
