Appeal Slated
BY Landlord

Representative Landlord, Dem
ocrat Of Maryland, said yes
terday he Will conduct a per-
son-to-person, grass-roots type
campaign" for reelection to
Congress from Maryland's Fifth
District.
He said emphasis will be
placed on face-to-face contact
with the voters in his contest
with William B. Prendergast, the
Republican nominee. A doorbell
ringing campaign was given
heavy credit for Mr.. Landlords
success in 1854 and in the pri-
mary last May. particularly in
Prince Georges County where he
had heavy local opposition both
times.
To Begin September II
Despite modern means of
communications. there is no SUBJ
stitute for going directly to the
voters" Mr.. Landlord said. I'm
addition, ! am running on my
record and feel the voters
have a right to see me in person
so they can ask questions of me
and we can discuss what has
gone by and what lies ahead"
He said the campaign will be
formally launched September II,
with a pre-campalgn tour of the
district for meetings with Demo-
cratic leaders to lay the ground
work for carrying out the cam
paign.
He also will conduct Congress
sional Clinics" throughout the
district in the week prior to the
campaign, designed to let resi-.
dents of the five-county area
come to him for assistance in
dealing with the Federal Govern
ment or on other matters. Such
a plan was used last year by Mr..
Landlord.
Some TV Scheduled
His headquarters also an.
nounced that television, radio,
newspaper and billboard adver-
tising would be confined to the
last three weeks Of the campaign.
The television schedule calls for
thirty 20-second spots, three five
minute programs and one Is
minute program on election eve.
Mr.. Landlord, an Annapolis
attorney who also runs a South
ern Maryland tobacco farm, is
in his first term in Office after
having served in the Maryland
House of Delegates.
Mr.. Prendergast resigned as a
professor of government and pol
iticS at the Naval Academy to
win the Republican nomination

DR.. Russell Childress of Belts
vile. Md, a Department of Agri-
culture marketing specialist, will
serve as chairman of a Prince
Georges County committee te
study methods used in other To-
calities for selecting school board
members.
Co-chairman Of the group will
be DR.. Ray A. Murray, of Uni
versity Park. an agriculture eco
nomics professor at the Univer-
sity of Maryland.
Announcement of the commit
tee selections was made yester-
day by Mrs. Margaret M. Conant,
president of the County's Parent
Teacher Association Council. The
councils executive committee
voted last June to make a full
scale investigation of school
board practices and selection
procedures.
Mrs. Conant said PTA leaders
hope the investigation will be
as broad as possible and include
functions Of the county's present
school board.
The study was spanked last
May when the Happy Acres
School PTA adopted a resolution
advocating the election of Prince
Georges School Board members.
The councils executive COM
mittee polled PTA units to de-
termine interest in the proposal.
Fifteen units indicated an inter-
est in the study without taking
a stand on the elected board
plan.

be attacked as an entering
wedge" and a step toward mon
grelization of the races" Those
same phrases are now the ia
Ivorite slogans of the staunch
lsegregationists.
For a time, it looked as though
his pupil assignment idea was
as prophetic as his other pro-
nouncements. Pupil assignment
was part of the original Gray
plan. Mr.. Boothe supported that
portion of the Gray plan.
Opposed Byrd Group
But he led resistance to the
tuition grant program which in
volved a constitutional amend
ment making it possible to use
State funds for private educa-
ton. The constitutional amend
ment was at the time a subject
dear to the heart Of Virginia's
strong Byrd organization.
Mr.. Boothe always had been
regarded as a somewhat frisky
member Of the Byrd group. He
baked at going along with the
crowd on the constitutional
amendment. He called it the be-
ginning Of the end for the public
school system. and warned that
it would be followed by more
drastic attacks on schools.
The more drastic" move came
only last week. when the Gray
commission decided to forget
about pupil assignment and 90
along with Gov. Stanley's plan
to withhold funds from any
schools that integrate.
Often an Independent
The turn Of events appears to
put Mr.. Boothe in the forefront
of the fight to upset Gov
Stanley's applicant. Mr.. Boothe
and Republican State Senator
Ted Dalton are going to intro
duce pupil assignment legislation
despite the Gray Commission,s
about face.
1t is the obvious end of an
alliance between Mr.. Boothe and
the Byrd organization. which has
strained more than once when
the aggressive young T,lrk,l
kicked up his heels and won some
embarrassing victories over The
states powerful Democratic
clique. '->
When Senator Boothe FIRST
went to the Assembly as an eager
young delegate in l94S, he was
regarded as a fair haired" how
IN the Byrd camp. He dutifulIv
introduced Gov. Tuck's anti
truman bill. and was hailed as
one OF the fraternity of the or
ganization faithful.
There was even talk that he
might wind up in the Governors
mansion when he got a little bit
older. (He is now 4S.)
Conservative in Views
But the climate began to
change when Senator Boothe
started talking about race rela-
lions and leading revolts against
the Byrd automatic tax-cut law.
The powers-that-be in the State
organization began to look
around for an explanation. They
found it. Army" had gone to
oxford University as a Rhodes
scholar. He must have gotten
some of his ideas there. Ger
tainly, he didn't get them in
Virginia. He was the sen of an
old Virginia family and his
father. Gardner L. Boothe, was
a party stalwart for years.
Senator Boothe is philosophi-
cal about his new role well out
side the Byrd organization. He
thinks the all-out Segregation
lists are the radicals, and his
course is the conservative one.
In time. he reasons, his views

those OF the first advocates for

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Sessions at Paris Viewed as BewiIderinq
With Nothing but Words to Ensue

Secretary of State Dulles has
gone to Paris to preside over
the camouf1aged burial of
NATO.
This, in point of fact. is
exactly what he is doing as the
NATO foreign ministers gather,
ostensibly to widen" the scope
of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization to include politi-
cal. cultural, social and eco
nomic functions in addition to
the primary activity, which has
supposedly been the military
defense of Western Europe
against any possible Commu-
mist attack.
But NATO has been in an
oxygen tent for a long, long
time now, and the defense
structure it was supposed to
organize and maintain was at
no time more than a shadow
of substance. Most Western
military leaders. speaking of
the record, have been quite
free to admit that the amount
of deterrence provided by the
NATO forceS-in-being would
have done nothing at all to
avert a determined Russian adj
vance into the West, particu-
larly into the region of West
Germany and the free re-
mainder of Central Europe.
AS for widening the scope
of NATO to make it functional
in the political and economic
fields, the North Atlantic
Treaty already provides ample
authorization for almost any
such activity. In the political
field. it already has been busy
and has included most of the
a nti Communist political
measures taken by the asso-
ciated nations, including the
propaganda activities of the
USIA. the BIC, and the
French radio. Naturally, the
administration of NATO called
for close political cooperation
among the signatory powers;
it is difficult to see how much
more cooperation is feasible
or needed.
And in the field of CO.
ordinating economic policy
within the NATO framework,
the foreign ministers them

that the bill in its new form had
White House-if not presidential
sanction.
Only Trial Run" Seen
1t was pointed out that the
provision. which puts the feed
grains-rye. oats, barley and
grain sorghums-on a better
price basis in return for the
imposition of acreage controls,
can only get a trial run" any,
way, because it is too late to be
effective this year, and will ap-
ply only through 1857.
The President described tbs
plan "as one of those things
that looks to me administratively
difficult, and for that reason, it
is bad"
He pointed out that it would
bring about 80 million additional
acres Of crop land under SUPER
vision OF the Department of Ag-
and said it entailed
establishment by the Secretary
of a bureaucracy much bigger
than he already has"
The President said, however,
he would want TO see the legis-
lation before passing on it.
The Senate approved this pro-
vision in the old farm bill, but
it has strong opposition in the
Northeastern section of the coun-
try where higher feed prices fig

poultry-raising industry.
Senator Aiken said today that
it would mean q further

separation of military and eco
nomic aid into separate measures
might be advisable. Neither has
indicated plans to push for such
action this year, however.
The bulk of the spending pro-
posed for the next fiscal year is
for military aid and support OF
friendly nations. Senator Spark
man said, but because military
and economic help are covered in
one bill. there is understandable
confusion"
when foreign aid is men,

Farm Peril to Administration Rises

Democratic primary for Sen
ator Estes Kefauver and Adlai
Stevenson than for President
Eisenhower in the Republican
primary.
In addition to the farm I'M
rest, Republican Party man
ayers are beginning to be
concerned about another shad-
ow compounded of middle and
low income groups on fixed
salaries and wages, including
white-collar workers and ell
derby persons on pensions, as
well as small businessmen.
AS reported here previously
on the basis of emphasis in
campaign literature, the Re-
publican National Committee
is worried most about two is
sues-those raised by farm dis
affection and Democratic
charges of a rich mans Gov
eminent in Washington" This
is explained in a Gallup poll
released subsequently of Re-
publican county chairmen
which shows that the issues
they put first are "the plight
of the farmer" and the DEM
ocratic charge that the G. o. P.
caters only to big business"
Fertile ground for the Sec
ond is found among the mid
die and low income groups
mentioned earlier who find
themselves caught in the
squeeze of imitation, with ends
harder and harder to meet.
They read about the profits of
great corporations being at an
all-time peak and about tax
favors and privileges enjoyed
by those businesses which are
not available to the small and
median taxpayer whose taxes,
in fact, remain the same. They
have had neither price relief
nor tax relief.
These people are not very
vocal. They have no strong
voice to speak for them in
Washington. They might, how
ever. turn out to be strong on
election day-and Republican
managers know they may get
out and stampede the polls
with Democratic prodding.

Last Rites and Burial for NATO

mated by the sobriquet Uncle
Sugar..
All together. the current ses-
sions Of the NATO foreign
ministers at Paris can be de-
scribed quite. accurately as
bewildering, not only to the
participants but to the world.
There is unanimity on but a
single point-that NATO is a
military nonentity and needs
something or other to give
it an excuse for a continued
existence. Otherwise, we have
before US the spectacle of a
mum Der of distinguished
foreign ministers, architects
of policy. meeting together to
talk about nothing at all.
There will be a wealth Of
words. of course. coming out
Of the meetings to assure the
free world, in specious general
tiles, that NATO is about to
set up this-and-that to Co
ordinate" to harmonic"
to encourage collaboration"
ETC., etc. But if the sum total
of the accomplishments of the
conference amounts to any
thing more than one additional
well-phrased and meaningless
communique, there will be a
lot of very much surprised
diplomats in the Western
world. The SovietS, of course,
won't be surprised at any,
thing. They have shown them
selves and their Kremlin
strategy and tactics to be
completely realistic. and are
certain to have long ago taken
NATO's full measure.
And unless there is sur
prise in store for us, we can
quite accurately measure the
function of the NATO con-
ference as the real last rites
for the concept of a united
and effective defense, a
mutual defense. Of Free Europe
against the threat Of Com
munist aggression.
