OCEAN CITY, Md. Aug. 26
Baltimore Mayor Thomas
D'Alesandro served notice yes
terday that he was not going
to be dealt out of seeking the
Democratic gubernatorial nom-
nation.
The Mayors statement came
as other party hopefuls spoke
Of trying to work UP a har-
mony ticket to avoid a primary
fight.
The Mayor was among nearly
q dozen party leaders who adj
dressed a standing-room only
session Of the United Demo
cratic Women's Club summer
conference here.
The meeting was marked by
statements Of harmony and
praise for the women.
HighIights Of Farley
The highlights we're:
1. A proposal by Senator
Louis L. Goldstein. an UNI
official candidate for coli.
troller. that the State Central
Committee select a State ticket
this fall and that other caudi-
dates bow out to avoid a pri-
mary fight.
2. A blistering attack on the
party leadership by DR.. Harry
c. Byrd. who has filed for the
governorship.
3. The first public announce
ment that Blair Lee III of
Montgomery County was avail
able" for the controllership.
There was no doubt here dur
ing the last three days that
Controller J. Willard Tawes
was the front-runner among
County leaders in the guber-
material race and that all cal
culations were being based on
that.
Denies Commitment
The most common report has
been that he will have C.
Ferdinand Sybert running for
reelection as attorney general
and Senator Goldstein for con-
troller on his ticket. Mr.. Tawes,
however. has denied any COM
mitments on the controllership
and apparently has not firmed
up his choice for his running
mate for United States Senator
Mayor D'Alesandro spoke
only briefly yesterday.
Noting the rash Of would-be
candidates the Mayor said:
THE waters warm. Jump
In boys and girls. / like a
crowd In the fight"

$4,000 in Jewelry
Capt. Stern said workers were
sitting through the ashes to-
day and had already come up
with at least $4,000 in jew

requires that any personal pos

owner.
Capt. Storm said workers were

heard Of the spectacular fire

said. and was spending the day

The "menfolks and the dogs

He said he would fly to WASH

The bus fare is 20 cents or
16 cents If you buy a strip of
five tickets. This is so much
more economical than leav-
ing the car at a downtown

venient than walking to the

degree Of race>mixing would
open the floodgates" to inte-
grafton on a mass scale.
But the big wheels among
the Democrats had yet to pe
heard from. and already Mr..
Dovel's statement was being
hotly disputed.
Mr.. Dovel dropped his polit.
ical bomb Saturday at a meet
ing Of the State Central Re-
publican Committee in Lynch
burg. With State Senator Ted
Dalton the q. o. p. candidate
for Governor. among his lis
teners. Mr.. Dovel told the COM
mittee there has been some
race-mixing In Page schools
over a 20-year period.
He said Gov. Stanley "can
cut of Page County, funds II
he wants to" under the STAN
ley-sponsored law which would
deny state money to localities
permitting race-mixing in their
public schools. The fund cut
of is supposed to be automatic.
Yesterday. Mr.. Dovel added
that at isn't such a bad situa-
ton"
Almost simultaneously, his
race-mixing claim was denied
by s. P. Dovel-no kin-who Is
the oldest member of the Page
County School Board.
Charges Denied
There is no indignation that
I know Of in the county" said
the school board veteran.
There are no Negroes at

plugging for a pupil assign

Of averting about indignation
IN Virginia's schools. The Rad
ford Republican has admitted
that the assignment plan might
allow a degree Of integratior
but claims it would stave of
race mixing on a mass scale.
Mr.. Almond, on the othel
hand, has contended that ever
q little race mixing would "oper

tegration throughout the length
and breadth Of the State.

The attorney general reiter.
ated this opinion in an address.
