Sothoron Charges Rivals
With Gutter Politics

Harold Sothoron, candidate for
the House from Maryland's 5th
district. charged today he was
the victim of a "gutter-type
campaign" which falsely repre-
sentS his connection with the
Longfellow Building stock trans
fer case.
He is opposed in Mondays
Democratic primary by the in
cumbent, Representative Lank-
ford Of Annapolis.
A circular was distributed over
the printed name Of George
Couch, treasurer of the Citizens
Committee of Prince Georges
County, a group that is support
ing Mr.. Landlord.
Resembles News Story
Carrying the caption, "Is this
man worthy of your trust?" the
literature reprints what purports
to be a newspaper clipping of
September 20, 1851.
The newspaper story concerns
"a suit brought by the Attorney
General to recover assets Of
about 81 million allegedly "si-
phoned" from the National
Home Library Foundation into
a mortgage company. Defendants
in the District Court action were
the Mount Vernon Mortgage
Corp; the library foundation,
and four individuals, including
Mr.. Sothoron.
The Government contende-::
that Mr.. Sothoron, and two
other defendants. preached their
trust in that they were directors
of the foundation at the same
time they were officers of the
mortgage company which pur-
chased a controlling interest in
the building owned by the foun-
dation at Massachusetts, and
Connecticut avenues NV.
Testimony at a 1854 trial was
that stock went to the mortgage
company for $3.50 a share while
Government experts said a fair
price would have been SIPS a
share.
The case has been taken to
the Court of Appeals.

Board Rejects
Freehi|| Plan
For LOT Sizes

The Fairfax County Planning
Commission is on record against
the proposed Freehill coming
amendment after questioning its
legality.
The Freehill plan, proposed by
County Board of Supervisors
Chairman Joseph H. Freehill,
provides for three-acre minimum
lot sizes in the western two
thirds of the county. 1t follows
the proposed McHugh master
plan for residential development
for the other one-third of the
county's area.
The planning commission, by
an 11-to-1 vote, last night called
adoption of the Freehill amend
ment premature" and ques-
toned whether the adoption by
the County Board will with
stand legal attack"
The commission said it agreed
that some stop-gap legislation
is necessary until a compre-
hensive master plan can be
adopted. but said the Freehill
proposal is "inadvisable and not
necessary"
The commission recommended
that the board adopt a coming
amendment which would pro-
vide for one-acre lot minimumS
in the western two-thirds of the
county instead Of the three acres
proposed in the Freehill plan.
The commission asked that no
zoning map be adopted, leaving
zoning in the eastern one-third
the same as at present.
If the board decides to adopt
q coming map, the commission
recommended that it adopt the
map proposed Wednesday by the
commission. The commission
proposal provided one-acre lots
in the western section and made
several changes in the McHugh
residential plan for the eastern
section.
The commission said that,
pending consideration of a mas
ter plan by the board, the COM
mission will not recommend any
rezonings contrary to the COM
missions plan submitted We'd
nesday. 1t also said it will not
recommend any rezoning which
would create an overload on any
sewer system or if the land under
consideration is not served by q
public sewer system.

MIR. Sothoron today likened
the circular to the composite
photograph used in the 1850 SEN
atorial campaign showing Com
munist Earl Browder and for
mer Senator Willard E. Tydings
together. Mr.. Sothoron said:
1.-The composite circular now
being distributed in Prince
Georges County purporting to
quote a United States court as
stating that L. Harold Sothoron
was guilty of a breach of trust is
an unmitigated falsehood con-
cocted in the same manner as
the Infamous Tydings-Browder
composite picture. -.
1.-THE intent to miSlead the
voters of the Fifth District was
made evident by the ruse used
to obscure the date Of the article
printed in 1851, which is used as
a part Of the composite circular.
THE statement attributed to
the court-apparently a clear-cut
contempt of court-was not di-
rected at Mr.. Sothoron. and the
printed record which can be seen
in the clerks Office Of the Court
of Appeals was available to the
perpetrators of this campaign
fraud.
Not a Board Member
"The court clearly stated that
the trustees of the foundation
had not exercised their full judy
ment. Mr.. Sothoron was not a
member of the board of trustees
|of the foundation, to which the
court referred.
This gutter-type campaigning
to which the Landlord forces
have descended indicates their
desperation. This is an effort
to put forth a misleading cir
cular intended to deceive the
voters through its issuance at
the last moment when it is diff
cult to get out an answer in
time to circumvent the false
hod. :"
Mr.. Sothoron said he would
discuss the case at 9:25 o'clock
tonight in a telecast over station

open primary"
What is Mr.. Caddington's YER
sion?
1.-The truth is" he says, "that
Mr.. Morris was our candidate
first. They ran short of candi-
dates. They thought they had
Dave Cahoon but he chose to run
as an independent. They tried
to get Mr.. Morris to repudiate
our slate and he refused. He told
them he had Joined the Steven
SON. ydings-Fole Club"
And Mr.. Morris account?
II have a lot Of friends who
are on both States" he says. AT
the time filed, I spoke to Ward
Caddington. He said they had
formed the Stevenson Foley Club
they later put Tydings on it
and asked if I wanted to join.
] said, Fine
HE said, Good. You join
the club and we'll indorse your
candidacy And did.
"Then saw another group and
they asked me if I would join
their ticket. I welcome the sup
port of all Democrats. I feel I
am sort Of a one-man harmony
slate.
But I'm sure for John Foley
candidate for Congress-. If
there had been any problem
about this thing, would have
withdrawn to work full time for
him."
Mrs. Schweinhaut says her
group opposes machine control
of the State convention. THE
seven elected delegates do not
represent the county-they let
Brooke Lee use their votes for
bargaining" she contends. This
year, it's no secret that he wants
to use those votes to get his wife

woman. We don't believe you
should use the votes Of delegates
elected by the people for deals
of this kind"
Morris Listening
Mr.. Caddington: TITS the same
story about bossism. They tried
to get support two years ago.
They say that if he's for you,
he's a great political leader, but
III he's against you, he's boss"
; Mr.. Morris: Some people feel
sorry for me. I'm being pulled

gree in political science at the
University Of Chicago. He was

conditions resulting in winds not
exceeding three to four miles per
hour, high humidity, and moderate
ly warm temperatures. This gives
the fog a chance to move slowly,
and for a thick killing blanket
throughout a specific area. Last
fall we operated under these ideal
conditions numerous times and the
effect was dramatic. This season
/ have noted only a couple of
times when such weather condi-
tions were available and then only
for short periods. Fogs that are
produced in any other weather con-
ditions or in moderate winds, are
only wasted, because the killing
clouds move too fast and have a
tendency to rise. If two units are
forced to operate under these con-
ditions, it may be good for moral,
but is costing the tax payer $50
per hour just to see the fog, with
out any benefits from it. This re-
suits in public opinion claiming
that the fog mix is no good or
improperly prepared.
"An additional problem not con-
sidered by the general public is
the breakdown time and repair
costs of the available equipment.
