Stanley A. Sawmelle, vice

residents of that area are vir-

tracts larger than so acres, he
said, should be permitted to

official Report
Has Mahoney,
TydingsEdg

BALTIMORE, May 10 up. -
George P. Mahoney and Willard
E. Tydings are awaiting nervous
ly the official election reports
from Frederick County and the
5th district of Baltimore in
Mondays contest for the United
States Senate Democratic nomi-
nation.
The official canvass of all the
votes started today all over the
State. Carroll County went
ahead and finished its yesterday,
with only a change of one vote
picked up by Mr.. Tydings-in
the senatorial race.
Unofficial tabulating gave Mr..
ITydings a margin of only ITO in
Frederick and 405 in the 5th.
An error in either district swing
ing the other way to Mr.. Ma
honey would give him the nomi-
nation.
The two candidates tied for
the number of unit votes, 1915,
on the basis of the unofficial
count. Mr.. Tydings had the
most popular votes, 142,449 to
l34,l23. and so would be the
winner.
Both Mr.. Mahoney and Mr..
Tydings said they would have
representatives on the scenes of
the official checking in Fred
Ierick and Baltimore.
Strangely enough, both candi-
dates had tabled Frederick dur
ing their campaign as one of the
key counties. Each visited there
three times.
Loss of the 5th district in
Baltimore was an extra hard
blow to Mr.. Mahoney, however.
He had it won in four past cleo
tionS.
While the margin in the 5th
was higher than in Frederick,
considerably more votes were
cast in the city district. Mr.. Ty-
dings Was credited with 1888
Ito 1898 for Mr.. Mahoney in
the district while it was 2,127 to
1857 in the county.

Leqol Battle Threatened
In Fairfax Zoning Fight

The Freehill amendment to
limit dense development of Fair
fax County is threatened with
legal attack even before final
action is taken on it by the
Board of County Supervisors.
A hearing on the proposal by
Joseph H. Freehill, chairman of
the Board of County Supervis-
ors, was held last night at Fair
fax Courthouse. At least two
more hearings will be held, one
at 8 pm. tomorrow and an
other at 8 pm. Wednesday.
The amendment would stop
construction of homes on lots
of less than three acres in the
rural two-thirds of the county.
Speakers from an audience of
nearly $50 took turns indorsing
and attacking the proposal last
night.
Challenges Legality
William H. HanSbarger, Falls
Church attorney, said his firm S
opinion is that the amendment
won't stand up in court" He
said II builders who are clients
have been so advised.
Mr.. Freehill asked him, "You
wouldn't want to contribute a
brief on that as public
service?"
mo. sir. I'd save that for the
right time and the right place, -
MIR. Hansbarger replied.
An attorney who favorS the
three-acre limitation took issue
with Mr.. Hansbarger's position,
He was Roger Fisher of Mclean.
Mr.. Fisher submitted a six
page memorandum to the board
in which he concludes that there
is every reason to believe that
the three-acre minimum lot size
restriction. if challenged, will be
upheld as a reasonable exercise
of the coming power"
One-Acre Minimums
The Freehill amendment
would carry out the principal
recommendations of planning
consultant Francis Dodd Nc
Hugh. The County Planning
Commission has recommended
modification of the McHugh
proposals to allow one-acre
minimums in the undevelopec
area except where sewer and
water are available. II these
areas, the commission recon-
mended, home construction
should be permitted on half-acre
lots.

State Controller j. Willard
Tawes still is running for Gov
ernor of Maryland despite
George p. Mahoney's defeat in
Mondays Democratic senatorial
primary.
Mr.. Tawes, who was Mr..
biggest supporter,
told The Star he "has had prob
ably 100 telephone calls from
people urging me not to change
my plans because of Mr.. Ma
honey's defeat"
Some See Little Chance
Many politicians around the
State seem to believe that the
combination of Mr.. Mahoney's
defeat and his loss of seven of
the nine counties on the Eastern
Shore, where Mr.. Tawes is sup
posed to be a power. has just
about erased the controller as
a gubernatorial contender in
1858.
Mr.. Tawes said, however. that
he plans Ito continue laying the
foundation for my candidacy in
1883"
IF ! see that have a good
chance, I will file and campaign
for Governor. just as I have
said I would"
Comedies Tydings Popularity
Trying to get votes for some
one else is always harder than
getting them for yourself" Mr..
Tawes said. His reference was
to the fact that Willard E. Ty-
|dings captured all the Shore
counties except Somerset, where
Mr.. Tawes lives, and Dorchester,
where Mr.. Mahoney had power
full backing from two formerly
feuding local organizations.
"Mr. Tydings has always been
very popular on the Eastern
Shore" Mr.. Tawes added.
Mr.. Tawes and Mr.. Mahoney
apparently had some sort Of
agreement for mutual support,
but whether Mr.. Mahoney can
do much for him now that he is
a defeated candidate is a moot
question.
1t would seem that Mr.. Ty-
dingS might be in better posi-
ton to name the 1858 Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nominee.
At least two of Mr.. Tydings'
supporters have given hints they
might try for Governor. and one
already has announced.
DIR. Byrd in Race
The announcement came from
DR.. H. c. Byrd. 81, former Uni
versity of Maryland president
who was defeated for Governor
by Republican Gov. McKeldin in
1854. DR.. Byrd's statement, is
sued in the last week of the
Tydings campaign, came as al
surprise and failed to stir up any
noticeable outpourings of sup
port.
The other two Tydings hackers
being mentioned for Governor
are Mayor D'Alesandro of Balti-
more and State Senate President
Louis L. Goldstein of Calvert
County.
Mayor D'Alesandro failed to
carry his own first legislative dis
trict for Mr.. Tydings Monday,
but he has never been able to
prevent Mr.. Mahoney from car

MINNEAPOLIS, May, rs (P1.
The Big Ten was committed
today to a round-robin football
schedule which would make it
a closed circuit by 1868, save
for its Rose Bowl tieup and one
outside game.
The Conference took the ac-
ton yesterday after welding it
self to a long term Rose Bowl
partnership with the Pacific
Coast Conference.
While it extended a COM
forting hand to the subsidy
troubled Pee, the Big Ten clear
ly was looking for an avenue to
avoid the same kind of misery
in its own conference.
The round-robin plan was
interpreted as a move partly
to bring Big Ten football into a
closer family" association with
better chances for conference
control over athletic subsidies
and other matters.
Big Ten faculty representa-
tives and athletic directors ap-
proved a plan which:
Sets up a maximum 10-game
schedule by 1859 instead of the
present nine-game slate.
Requires a minimum of seven
conference games for each team
in 1959-60, eight in 1961-62 and
nine thereafter.
The non-conference games
will be strictly optional. To make
room for the 10-game schedule
the policy-makers advanced the
opening day of the season to the
next to the last Saturday In
September.
The plan will be placed before
school faculty boards for actor
in September. If any schoo
dissents, it goes back to the
conference faculty director
group, which can okay it by ma
jority vote.
Neither the vote on the round
robin nor the one on the Rose
Bowl hookup was unanimous.
In approving renewal of the
Rose Bowl contract, the Big Ter
set up a committee to meet
