Almond Is Confident
As He Files for Primory

BOWLING GREEN, Va. Mar
20 tR.-Attorney General Lind
say Almond, jr.. formally became
Ia gubernatorial candidate yes
terday for the July 9 Democratic
primary.
He submitted his petition OF
candidacy to State Democratic
Chairman Thomas H. Blanton
here. and in SO doing assured a
small gathering of associates
and reporters that:
l. The Republicans they
have any candidates-will get a
sound licking in November.
2. There will be no yielding
in the fight to preserve segrega-
ton in Virginia's public schools
His petition carried the
names of 1000 supporters. II
was presented to Mr<Blanton in
the latter's Offices at the Union
Bank and Trust Co. here.
The candidate was asked if he
thought there was any chance
for the segregation fight to bog
down and for comment on Sem
lator Byrd's recent appeal for
full-scale resistance to any and
all school indignation efforts in
the State.
Mr.. Almond replied that he
shared Senator Byrd's view that
the fight to preserve Virginia S
right under the Constitution to
govern its own internal affairs
must continue.
LAS long as we stand for the
right. we have reason to hope,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-03-22

and justifiable grounds on which
to base that hope. that as in the
past the court will revert to a
proper construction of the Con-
stitution." said Mr.. Almond.
Turning to party prospects in
November, he discounted any
possible Republican gains in vir-
ginia by virtue of President Ell
senhower's popularity and the
Republican showing in the Old
Dominion in the last election

told reporters. that Eisenhower
has improved his standing In

nets Montgomery about 100000
annually.
The bill would require the
State to police retail liquor out
lets in Maryland to see that they
are charging minimum prices set
by manufacturers of national
brands of alcoholic beverages
The manufacturers now do their
own policing.
Montgomery buys most of its
liquor directly from distillers
which enables it to sell at prices
only slightly higher than those in
Washington, D. c., where there is
a complete lack of fair trade
regulation.
On the urging of Delegate
William B. Wheeler. Mont
gomery's representative on the
House Alcoholic Beverage Com
mittee. that committee agreed
yesterday to amend Montgomery

Seek to Prevent Price War
The committee also added a
clause stating that mo person
shall be permitted to import from
Montgomery County any alco-
holic beverages purchased in
Montgomery County into any
other political subdivisions OF
this State for the purpose Of
sale or consumption :"
/ A preamble to the bill states
that its objective is to prevent
price wars.
/ In another major Montgomery
development here, Gov. Nickel
din signed into law bill exempt
ing a proposed Potomac Electric
Power Co. dam on the Potomac
River from State and county
property taxes.
The bill is part of Mont
gomery's campaign to assure
that PEPCO locates its 500 mil
lion power generating plant on
the Maryland rather than the
Virginia side of the river.
The utility has said it plans
to build at a site on the river
near DickerSon in Montgomery
County. Virginia has not given
up the fight. however, and its
Representatives in Congress have
been opposing Federal legislation
authorizing construction of the
dam. which PEPCO says is
needed to store water for cooling
the power generators.
Another Bill in Senate
Another Montgomery bill
aimed at keeping the plant in
Maryland has passed the House
and has been resting for several
days in the Senate Finance Com

pipes or transmission lines could

Hatch Act OK
Given Locally
Lets U. S. Employees
Aid Arlington Race

The Arlington Independent
Movement has obtained a rul-
ing from the Civil Service Com
mission that Federal employees
actively may participate in the
Arlington County Board elec-
ton race this year.
The ruling, from A. G. Glenn
ent, chief of the Hatch Act and
Litigation Section Of the COM
missions general counsel Office,
was contained in a letter ad-
dressed to Fred A. Gosnell, jr.,
chairman of the movement.
Mr.. Clements letter said in
part that Arlington County was
Under Section Is Of the Hatch
Act, and added that Federal
employees (who are) residents
Of the county may take an &C.
tive part in political manage
ment or in a political cam
paign involving the municipal

a national or State political
party"

said:

lated with such a party. they
may make speeches in behalf
of such a candidate, may work
for the candidate at the polls,
may write letters to the press
in behalf of or against such a
candidate, and engage in other
campaign activity provided it
is not directed against partisan
candidates"
Mr.. Gosnell said the Airing

He said his organization had
received calls from Federal

he had called her to come tC
his mothers apartment to gel

there, he grabbed her by the
throat and said that if he
couldn't have her, nobody
could. She said that when hi
saw his mother coming dowr
the street. he pushed his wife
out the back door.
For Mental Examination
The prosecutor recommended
SIS 900 bond, and Williams spent
the week end in jail in lieu Of
bond. When he came into court
on May Is, Judge Thomas
Scalley sent him to District
General Hospital for a mental
examination.
While he was there, his case
was called in District Court
After the bondsrnan explained
Williams was in the hospital
the case was continued tC
June 20.
A week before he. was to &c
to trial in District Court, how
ever. that trial was postponed
until fall. The reason: The
District Court judges were tc
attend the judicial Conference
on June 81 and their business
for that day was pushed UP
to the day before-June 20, the
date set for Williams trial.
Williams was returned to
Municipal Court from Dis
trict General Hospital on June
IL with a finding that he was
sane. competent and capable
of participating in his own
defense"
He went to trial before Judge
Beard the same day on the
threat charge. During the trial,
the facts of the District Court
case were brought out-the
stabbing of his wife.
Judge Beard suspended a 90
day sentence on condition that
he furnish a $1,000 bond not
to breach the peace.
Judge Beard said he was
aware that Williams was under
indictment for trying to kill
his wife. but he added that,
after all, Williams had driven
her to the hospital and that
case was three or four months
old"
In 80 out of 100 cases. a
peace bond is the best solution,
but bondsmen usually are not
willing to do it," Judge Beard
said. This bondsman was
willing. 1t seems like a good
disposition to me-"
William Weisbacker, the
bondsman now worried about
his $4,000. said he had received
the usual 5 per cent-in this
case $50-from williams for
the peace bond. He said it had
been his idea that if williams
preached the peace. he would
simply produce him in court.
Il was sitting in the court
room that day." he recalled,
land the judge asked me If
would write a peace bond.
told him I wasn't interested in
writing a peace bond for any,
body. / told him the bond usu-
ally lasts six months or a year.
and l. don't want TO tie UP
my money that long.
He asked me If I would write
one for 80 days. He seemed to
be bargaining. I thought / was
just writing an appearance
bond. Now the judge says I'm
liable If he violates the peace. {"
Judge Beard said ne would
see how the murder case
against williams turns out be-
fore he decides whether the
bond should be forfeited.
