Has New Strife
In Compromise
Plan to Let Lamb Run
But Bur His Slate
Stirs Another Row
BY JOHN v. HORNER

Warning factions of the Dis
trict Republican Party joined to-
day in a compromise proposal
which would permit George P.
Lamb to run in the May l cleo
ton as an anti-organiZatlon
candidate but knock out his
hand-picked slate of lesser can
didateS.
The proposition was presented
to the Board of Elections, which
had been asked earlier to dis
qualify Mr.. Lamb.
If this move was intended to
ease strife in local G. o. P.
ranks, it died a-borning, No
sooner had it been made public
than Mr.. Lamb issued a press
release which accused District
Republican Chairman George L.
Hart. jr.. of laying down
"smokeScreen." The chairman
made no effort TO conceal his
resentment.
Sees Violation of Pact
Mr.. Hart told reporters the
issuance of the press release was
a violation. in his understanding,
of the agreement reached be-
tween the factions. The anti
organization faction proclaimed
that its fight against the Hart
led forces had just begun.
The Board of Elections said
it hoped to announce by Thurs
day whether it could accept the
compromise offered today.
The proposition is this MIR.
Lamb would be certified as
candidate for the Republican Ma
tional Committee against the in
cumbent, Clyde D. Garrett. and
also as a candidate for delegate
to the party's national conven-
ton. against the organization 5

time. Is Lamb-Supported candi-
dates for the District Republican
Committee and the convention
delegation would be withdrawn.
Petition Attacked
A petition nominating all OF
these people had been attacked
by Chairman Hart as invalid be-
cause Lamb headquarters OBJ
tanned a number Of indorSing
signatures before completing the
full slate OF candidates.
Edward Bennett Williams,
counsel for Mr.. Lamb, told the
board today that Mr.. Lambs
name was on the petition from
the start. Hence. all indorsing
signatures apply to his candi-
dacy. The Is other candidates
filed afiidavits requesting the
board for permission to with
draw from the race.
There were two more names
on the Lamb nominating petit
ton, Thurman L. Dodson and

Letter from Wilson
The President transmitted a
longer letter from Secretary Of
Defense Wilson emphasizing that
the very archaeological progress
that has strengthened America S
military might demands increas-
ing numbers Of skilled men II
takes years to train to man the
complex new weapons.
In the face of this need, Mr..
Wilson said, the services are
losing an enormous" number
of trained men who forsake a
military career for greater OPP
portunities" in civilian life.
He said that in the 1855 fiscal
year. enlistees who completed
their first term Of service re-
enlisted at a rate of l5.7 per
cent. But "alarmingly low" re-
enlistment rates Of men with
highly technical skills were only

Hampers Readiness

ability to retain enough young
officers beyond their initial pc
Rod of obligated service.
