Federal Government proposed to
buy the land on which st. Mary's
Church is located. The issues
that confronted the congregation
OF this fine church and its
doughty pastor at that time were
remarkably similar to the prob
lens faced by the Association of
Oldest Inhabitants.
Workers Seen Benefited
II am very pleased to be able
to say that St. Mary's Church
was not destroyed, nor was it
moved. It continues to serve its
historic and important mission,
and. I should add, the General
Accounting Office is unquestion-
ably better of for that mission.
Certainly the thousands of
Federal employees who work in
the General Accounting Office
and the other Federal buildings
in the area feel safer because
of the church and the beneficent
influence it exertS in what is
surely one of the less desirable
neighborhoods in the District of
Columbia"
Representative Thompson said
he has sent copies ofe his in
sertion in the Congressional
Record to Chairman Robert E.
Mclaughlin, chairman of the
Board of District Commissioners,

tration and the International

He said he hopes to have an
early hearing on his bill de-
signed to permit the Association
OF Oldest Inhabitants to remain
where it is. 1t is now pending
before the Judiciary Subcom-
mittee Of the House District
Committee.

Foreign Policy

BALTIMORE, April % up. -
George P. Mahoney said yester-
day the United States has "lost
the initiative in world affairs
because Secretary Dulles has
followed a policy of drifting
along which is really no policy
at ALL"
Mr.. Mahoney made the COM
ment in a statement issued be-
fore he began a tour of Balti-
more in his campaign for the
Democratic nomination to the
Senate.
Under the preceding Demo-
cratic administration" he said,
1--WE acted decisively to save
Western Europe from economic
collapse and Communist domi-
nation. The Marshall Plan, the
Berlin air-lift. the rescue of
Greek democracy, the system of
alliances and bases with which
We ringed the Soviet Union-all
these resulted from a deliberate
policy to contain communism
and deter aggression.
THE whole world knew what
our aims were. Now it is difficult
for other nations to discover
what we are aiming at or to dis
cover any real underlying for
eign policy. We just drift along,
leaving the initiative to the
Reds"

BY WILLIAM A. MILLEN

United States taxpayers woulc
have to pay an unnecessary $l5,'
IT'S for moving the old Union firt
engine house to make way fol
the International Monetary
Funds new building, according
Ito Representative Thompson
Democrat of New Jersey.
He suggested taxpayers asso-
Citations throughout the country
and the Joint Committee on Re-
Iduction of Nonessential Federal
Expenditures might want to look
into this. His solution is for the
old fire engine house to remain
where it is at Nineteenth and H
streets. NV. The Fund could
erect its new building around it.
he said.
Mr.. Thompson inserted in the
Congressional Record a letter
that appeared in The Star
Wednesday from Homer Joseph
Dodge, an association member,
declaring the old building should
stay where it is.
Fund Offers $4,000
The Fund has offered to give
the District Commissioners $50
900 to have the old building
moved.
But here's how Representative
Thompson figures it out;
"Fifty-eight countries contrib
ute to the international None
tary Fund. The United States
quota, which is 3l.43 per cent
of the total fund, amounts to
So. $50, 100000. If my figures are
correct, it will cost the United
States $l5.715 to move the old
Union engine house, a move
which is wholly unnecessary, &C.
cording to Mr. Dodge.
This would seem to me to be
a matter of interest to the
many associations of taxpayers
throughout the country. Con-
ceivably it may be of interest
to the members of the Joint
Committee of Nonessential Fed
eral Expenditures"
Representative Thorn pson
called attention to a similar
situation that existed some years
ago. He said:

a move among representatives OF

Among Friends
Mr.. Sothoron was born on a
farm in st. Marys County and
worked as boy at Charles
County store in Hughesville be-
fore moving to Prince Georges
at the age of 20. He thus is
among many personal friends of
long standing while campaigning
in the southern end of the
district.
He took his law degrees at
National University and his first
public Office was appointment as
corporation counsel for the town
of Brentwood in 1880. He is a
former chairman of the Inter-
state Commission on the Poto-
mac Riven Basin and has made
Potomac River pollution prob
lens serious study.
Mr.. Sothoron is a director and
genera! counsel for the Waldorf
Bank, a director of the Citizens

MARYLAND PRIMARY PROFILES
Landlord and Sothoron
Tug for 5th District

Maryland's 5th district race
for Congress is dominated by a
tug-of-war between the two
largest counties to name favorite
sons IN the May 7 Democratic
primary.
FIRES hman Representative
Landlord, Al. of Anne Arundel.
is fighting off vigorous effort
by former State Senate Ma
Jority Leader L. Harold Soth-
oron, of Prince Georges, to cap
ture his seat
Two years ago. the congress
sional primary brought out
nearly 5000 voters in Prince
Georges to 1900 in Anne Arun-
del.
Both candidates are making
strong pitches to the three
principal classes of constituents
in the area. which includes six
Southern Maryland counties
and eight Baltimore City pre-
CinctS.
Move Benefits Promised
Each is promising more bene-
fits for the Federal employees in
the Washington Metropolitan
Area, for the tobacco farmers of
the rural areas and for small
businessmen in the urban CEN
tiers around Washington, An
napoliS and Baltimore.
About the only issue that can
be said to have developed so tar
is that Of 'boSSiSm. This does
not appear to have stimulated
a great amount of voter interest
and unless more specific issues
develop between now and May
z. voter interest may lag.
The Landlord forces were first
to ring in the bossism question
That was when former Repre-
sentative LanSdale G. SasScer OF
Upper Marlboro the elder
statesman" of Southern Mary
land, came out for Mr.. Sothoron.
who is chairman of the Prince
Georges County Democratic Gen.
trail Committee.
Why. the Landlord campaign
workers are asking. should the
Prince Georges Democratic ma
chine be willing to ditch an in
cumbept member of the party
who defeated Republican for
the Office two years ago? So far
no major attacks haze been
made on Mr. Landlords record
Answer Given
The answer from the Sothoron
camp is something like this;
In 1851 when Mr.. Sasscer gave
up his House seat to seek the
senatorial nomination. Mr.. Soth-
oron declared this is the chance
have been waiting for" in
making known his desire to win
the seat.
But other forces in the party
prevailed on him to hold up be-
cause, with Mr.. Sasscer in the
race. that would give Prince
Georges top-heavy representa-
ton in both branches of Con-
gress.
In 1854 virtually the same
situation prevailed, with DR.. H
c. Byrd, former president of the
University of Maryland and an
adopted Prince Georgian. in the
race for Governor.
So now the argument by
Sothoron forces is that it's his
turn.
This is how the lineup stands
throughout the District:
The Prince Georges Central
Committee is the only one to
formally indorse Mr. Sothoron.
Mr.. Landlord has the backing
Of the committees in Anne Arun-
del. Howard and St. Marys
Counties-the latter by a 3-to-2
vote. The committees of Charles
and Calvert Counties have taken
no action.
In some respects, the campaign
has taken on the appearance of
an alignment with the Statewide
