of a Supreme Court decision in

Mr.. Kakler, 35, of University
Park, in a brief statement re-
leased by his secretary. said he
would not have enough time
between now and the May IT
primary to campaign.
He filed last Wednesday for
the seat now held by Repre-
sentative Richard E. Landlord,
Democrat of Anne Arundel
County, who has filed for a
fourth consecutive term. Mr..
Kahler could not be reached
for comment today.
The statement declared:
William L. Kahler an
nounced today that, after CIV
ing thorough consideration to
the time required to conduct a
successful campaign, he has de-
termined that due to the short
age of time before the primary
it would necessitate giving most

and he is not in a position to
do so with respect to his other
duties.
HE wishes to thank his
many friends and supporters
for the consideration shown
him."
Mr.. Kahler's withdrawal
comes three days after his can
didacy was indorsed by the
Prince Georges County Demo-
cratic State Central Committee.
His withdrawal leaves Mr..
Landlord as the only Democrat
to file so far. The filing dead

Board granted him a $6,740 an
nual salary, but it was not tax
exempt, which reduced the
amount by roughly 20 per cent.
Attorneys Daryl Wyland and
Thomas jackson appealed the
case to the Commissioners.
The nature of a policeman's
daily duties can lead to heart
trouble, they contended. They
argued that tensions, fears and
angers are abnormally high in
a policeman's life and that he
must suppress these feelings
because of the strict discipline
under which he must work.
Such factors can lead to
heart trouble, they contended.
The attorneys also pointed out
that policemen are deprived of
emotional outlets which other
persons have. Their irregular
shifts of duty, which rang e
through the day and night,
deny them the recreational out
let's of civilians, they argued.

branded the situation a ma

they are denied what is perhaps
