Cut From Alarm System
The latest tiff has resulted in
the Violetville company being
cut off the central alarm system.
The Baltimore County Volunteer
Firemen's Association suspended
the company after the jurisdic-
tional difference over the burn
ing auto. Since the county fire
department alarms are sent only
to association members, Violet
vile was disconnected.
But that isn't stopping Chief
Purkey. He noted the Violetville
is still able to pick up calls from
police radio and from residents
who phone in.
John w. Hession of the Fire
mems Association said the VIC
letville suspension will be voted
on at the annual meeting Au-
gust 10.
Chief Purkey isn't waiting foi
that. He said he's taking the
matter directly to the county
commissioners.

R.-A long -smouldering feud
between two fire companies has
burst into flame. Though the
Violetville fire laddies may be
hot under the collar, they say
they're not out of business yet.
The squabble amounts to a
jurisdictional dispute between
volunteer firemen from Violet
vile and Arbutus. The question
is simply:
Who's in charge of what fires?

An auto burned recently while
this subject was discussed. Vio-
letSville Chief John A. Purkey
said the owner had a right to
burn the car Another fire COM

He says that as Chief Fire
Warden for the area. all fire

are under his authority.

Advocates Conservatism
Mr.. Clay promised a fighting
campaign based on advocacy of
q conservative philosophy of gov

Mr.. Clay told the cheering
convention that President Eisen-
hover is more moderate" than
any Of the three leading Demo-
cratic candidates for the presi-
dency. He said the Democrats
criticize the Supreme Court gen.
orally and especially for its anti
segregation decision and ignore
the fact that seven of the nine
justices are Democrats.
He accused the Democrats of
trying to make partisan issue
Of what he said is primarily a
sectional problem.
I'VE know that our conserva-

characteristic of the majority of
the people Of our district he
said. I'VE are Republicans be-

with Representative Broyhill
on the defensive.
The Democrats figure this
might be the year to stage a
comeback. Since 1854, when Mr..
Broyhill defeated Mr.. Webb by
a vote of 29,221 to 24,667. the
number of registered voters in
the 10th District has gone up
roughly 10000. About 10000 of
those new voters have signed UP
in Fairfax County-and that's
where two of the Democratic
candidates live. The district also
includes Arlington, Alexandria
