ABC Enters
Democratic
Party Race

An Official Of the Arlington
fans for a Better County said
today the group is trying to gain
control Of the County Demo-
cratic Committee to keep county
board elections out of politics.
1t was revealed yesterday that
the liberal ABC coalition group
has put up Democratic commit
tee candidates in nearly all of
the county's precincts. Con-
servatives now hold about a Is
member margin on the commit
tee.
The ABC spokesman said
members Of the group were
concerned this year about spec
ulation that Democrats might
enter a county board candi-
date. The five-member board
is controlled by four ABC mem
bers, two of whom have terms
expiring this year.
Praises Government
I'VE don't want national
politics to interrupt the good
government brought to Airing
ton by our coalition group,"
the Abe official said.
Among committee candidates
are four members of the county
board. They are Ralph Raul,

David L. Krupsaw. elected as
ABC members. and DR.. Lucas
H. Bleyins, elected as an Ar

tive coalition group. no longer

Mr.. Raul is the only BOARD
member now serving on the
Democratic committee. The
fifth county board member is
Herbert L. Brown, also an ABC
member.
The Democratic committee
race provided material Tor a
charge yesterday by Republican
Committee Chairman David
Gordon that ABC and the
Democratic Party "are torn
with dissention within their
own ranks"
GOrdOn's View
Speaking at a Republican
Women's Council meeting, Mr..
Gordon said the prospect of an
ABC dominated Democratic
county committee lis likely to
prove a most interesting de-
velopment especially since ABC

would give the county more
power to deal with problems Of
rapid urban growth.
E. A. Pritchard, Fairfax town
councilman, who said he was
speaking as a citizen, pointed
to the advantages the town now
enjoys.
Population 1000
Mr.. Pritchard cautioned that
II the county tried to restrict
the town, the town could "be-
come a city Of the second class
any time !"
A town needs only a popula-
ton Of 5000 to qualify as a
city of the second class. Mr..
Pritchard said, noting that the
Town Of Fairfax now has q
1000 population.
In other action, the Civic
Federation approved a report
calling for withdrawal of the
in dependent status Of the
county's Economic and Indus
trial Development Committee.
The report suggested further
that the committee Offices be
moved from Springfield to the
Court House ito facilitate con-
facts between the industrial
development staff and the
other departments and agencies

victed Of robbery. In November,
1854, however, the conviction
was set aside and a new trial
ordered by the U. s. Court of
Appeals for the District on the
grounds that Lewis was i'm
properly denied an additional
mental examination before the
1853 trial.
Finally Dismissed
Lewis was reconvicted in
District Court on June 20, 1855.
But. according to District rec
ords. the Court Of Appeals in
February, 1857. again ordered
a new trial and In May Of that
year. the case was dismissed.
In yesterdays trial. Lewis
was accused Of entering a
One-Hour Martinizing shop in.
900 block of Wayne avenue and
taking a bag Of cash and
checks after handing . note to
an employe. The note read:
Read carefully cause your
life depends on it-put all
in bag--make one fool
ish mistake I'll kill you'll
need DOPE"
Quickly Seized
Mrs. Patricia Young. q clerk
In the establishment, testified
the holdup man kept one hand
in his coat pocket. When coun-
ty police apprehended Lewis
an hour and a half later in a
basement stairwell one block
from the holdup scene. a 49,
caliber pistol was found near
him.
Detective Sergt. Fred T.
Thrailkill testified that when
Lewis was taken to the Silver
Spring police substation, he
claimed that he was a dope adj
dict. The defendant later told
the detective he was q door-to-
door cosmetics salesman and
that he also worked as a num-
bers tabulator and payoff man.
Lewis, who lived in the 1900
block of Irving street NV,
did not take the witness stand
during the trial.

Food Surplus
Disposal PIon
Is Attacked
By the Associated Press

The American Farm Bureau
today opposed a proposal to
expand the program for dis
posal Of surplus farm commod-
tiles abroad.
Herbert E. Harris, a bureau
spokesman. told the House
Agriculture Committee that the
main goal should be to cut pro-
duction on farms so SURPRISES
do not continue to pile up.
A statement by Mr.. Harris
that the surplus situation
would be corrected only when
Congress makes up its mind to
stop the flow of Government
price-supported commodities
into Government bins drew a
sharp retort from Representa-
tive Abernethy, Democrat Of
Mississippi, who said:
That is an accusation. 1t is
an indictment of the entire
Congress. You have indicted
us for not stopping the flow of
surplus commodities into Gov
eminent warehouses"
Asked by Mr.. Abernethy II
he wanted to leave the state
ment stand in the record, Mr.
Harris said he did and added,
There is a need for a great
deal of dedication on the part
of Congress to solve it,"
The present law permits dis
posal of surplus farm products
abroad by sales for foreign cur
rencies, barter and other
methods. The proposed legisla-
ton would amend this to per-
init 10-year contracts for sale
Of SURPRISES abroad. 1t would
give foreign countries up to 40
years to pay. Mr.. Harris said
the Farm Bureau is opposed to
such an expansion.
Mr.. Harris said the present
law was originally designed as
a temporary measure. The pro-
posed amendment, he said
would have the effect of max
ing it permanent legislation.

that rock n roll was rocking

are composed of young people,
and on popular numbers in the

of American Music" They we're
