"A new, bitter struggle among
top Maryland Democrats was
shaping up today as evidence
mounted that Willard E. TydingS
will withdraw as the party's can

ate.
Mr.. Tydings, it was revealed
yesterday. will hold a press con-
ference at his home in Bel Air,
Md, tomorrow or Tuesday. 1t
will be his first public appearance
since he was stricken shortly aft
er the May z primary, in which
he defeated George p. Mahoney
for the nomination.
Several of his strongest sup
porters, who declined to be iden-
titled, conceded last night that
they expected the conference will
hear Mr.. Tydings explain why he
must pull out of the race because
of his illness.
Two factors lend weight to
this possibility.
| Only Tydings lieutenants have
been invited to the session. indi-
eating that an attempt will be
made to select a successor to the
candidate.
Names Of requirements began
to be suggested by the leaders
either openly or behind-the-
scenes.

ings supporter, proposed c. Fer
ldinand Sybert. the States
attorney general, as a likely SUBJ
lstitute. although insisting he had
mo reason to believe that Mr.
ITydings won't run"
However. Mr.. Robinson a day
earlier launched strongly
worded attack on Mr.. Mahoney
whose hackers are certain to
demand that he be chosen to
succeed Mr.. Tydings as the
party's Senate candidate.
4 They argue that Mr.. Mahoney
won strong primary support in
more than a dozen Of the States
'I23 county committees.
Mr.. Robinson struck out al
Mr.. Mahoney's behavior in Chi.
cago, where his wavering over
what candidate the Maryland
delegation should support lost

"Mahoney has revealed him

philosophy. no new thought-ir

an expression of thanks to all
members of the committee who
had worked with him. He praised,

ager Of the convention and others
who had important parts in the
handling of the arrangements.
Quarrel Over Tickets
There had been rumblings of
dissatisfaction with Mr.. Butler
more recently because he did not
provide some National Commit
tee members and party leaders
with the tickets to the conven-
ton to which they believed they
were entitled. It was charged
that he kept the tickets in his
own hands and distributed them
as he saw At.
1t has been the privilege Of
presidential nominees for years
to name their own chairman of
the party's national committee
with the understanding he is
to be the campaign manager.
Mr.. Stevenson put in his own
chairman, Mr.. Mitchell, after he
was nominated in 1852.
Mr.. Gravel, q little later in the
proceedings, moved that the
committee request Mr.. Butler to
reconsider and not submit his
resignation. The resolution was
adopted by a voice vote.
Only one loud mo" was heard.
1t came from George F. Rock of
Colorado. Mr.. Rock was one Of
those who had complained Bit
lterly about the convention ticket
distribution. He had come to
the meeting prepared to discuss
the matter. He did not bring it
Iup when Mr.. Butler said he was
Iresigning-and he did not bring
lit up after Mr.. Stevenson had
asked Mr.. Butler to remain as
chairman.
Actually Offered Resignation
How long Mr.. Butler will con-

stated. But Mr.. StevenSon's re-
quest appeared to be that he
remain at least until after the
campaign ends.

Women Lawyers
Hear Discussion
|OfGernon Courts

German women lawyers who
once far surpassed in number
their sister attorneys in the
United States and dropped to
a neglible proportion during
the war, are once again on the
increase.
This was pointed out by
Miss Marguerite Rawalt, as
sistant to the head of the Civil
Division, Office of the Chief
Counsel. Internal Revenue
Bureau, at a meeting of the
D. c. Women's Bar Association
last night.
Miss Rawalt had the honor
this past summer Of being
selected as one of seven lawyers
from the United States to
spend a month studying the
German court system at the
invitation of the Western Re-
public of Germany govern
ment.
-Four men and two other
women were in the group
whose study began with brief
ings in Bonn and included
visits to courts in all of the
major cities.
The speaker pointed out in
a trip to the University of
Heidelberg she learned that
10 per cent of their law school
students are young women.
German woman lawyer, DR..
Erna Scheff1er, is a member Of
the German Federal Constitu-
tional Supreme Court, highest
in the land, Miss Rawalt
pointed out.

ton of University Women's

strategy succeeds for the Dem
ocrats to any degree. coupled
with Mr.. Eisenhower's loss OF
some Of the new voters" of
1852, "the margin can become
very slender indeed"
8. The big majority for Mr..
Eisenhower, as shown by the
polls, tends to make Repub-
licans complacent, so that
they do not work as hard as
they otherwise might.
4. If the normal range of
8 to 4 per cent of error in
polls should come into effect
this time, much Of Mr.. Eisen-
hower's supposed majority
would vanish.
5. Many people have a ten
dency to speak in a socially
acceptable" manner to a poll
taker. This could make some
people indicate a preference
for Mr.. Eisenhower, because
he is better known. though
they would not in the end vote
for him.

He listed these as follows:
/. Over IL million people
voted for the first time in their

have all been young people

simply have never bothered to
vote before. Such people are
not deeply committed politi-
