the G. o. P. Mr.. Foley, they
claim, had the advantage Of a
strong State Democratic slate,
built around the drive of Gov.
Tawes. and that Republicans
and conservative Democrats
who voted for Republican
congressman in the past SIM
ply didn't turn out.
These factors, they claim,
now are reversed. They see
a widespread disenchantment
with Mr.. Foley. and they bank
their uphill" fight on two
needs. The first is to get Mr..
Matthias as we'll known as
possible-especially in Mont
gomery County. The second
is to turn out a hefty Repub-
lican and conservative Demo-
cratic vote.
The Foley forces. of course,
will have none of this. They
claim their man is much
stronger organizationally all
over the district now than
he was two years ago, and
that most Of the thousands
OF new Democrats who have
moved into the Washington
suburbs will vote their reg
lstration. In their opinion.
1858 was the beginning Of
the end of the "conserva-
tive" Democratic voters in
fluence. r e5~
With all these differences,
the two sides do agree on
one point-that Montgom-
cry is the critical county
One reason is that Mont
gomery has over half the
district population 338. 900
people out of 603,00O-and
over half the registered vote
In the upper counties, where
neither side comedies any,
thing, a tight race is expect
ed. And Montgomery voters.
in 1858, decided the rare
giving Mr.. Foley a 5000
majority which exceeded his
district-wide margin of 1904
votes.
At the time of the State
primary last May, the $780,
973 registered voters were
divided 81 per cent DEM
ocrat. AZ per cent Republican
and 4 per cent Decline. The
Montgomery figures at that
time stood like this:
Democrat - 75,178 58%
Republican - 1882 36%
Decline 1900 6%
And in the registration
drive which ended in Sep
tember, the Democrats added
about l1,200 registrants, the
Republicans about 1900 and
there were 1,700 Declines
maintaining roughly the
same percentages.
A sweep by either Mr..
Nixon or Mr.. Kennedy, most
OF the experts agree, prob
ably would spell ~the differ
ence. But neither side at
this point is predicting a
sweep, or counting on it.
That is why Mr.. Foley
and Mr.. Matthias both are
beating the bushes - and
each other-seven days a
week, and why they are
planning to step up the
tempo still further as Octo-
ber wears on,

audience, Mr.. Foley charges
that his opponent last year
failed to cast "the staggering
total" Of $50 votes at the
State Legislature-and what
kind of representative does
that make him?
The reason for singing out
these particular charges is
that both candidates have
made it clear they don't
intend to let them go, but
will push them harder in the
weeks ahead. Whatever the
answers are. they haven't
been fully given yet. Mr..
Matthias thus far largely has
brushed aside the slams on
his voting record. And Mr..
Foley is tackling his big
spending" votes in groups of
twoS and threes before var
ious audiences. For the first
time this week. tempers began
TO flare.
The candidates. Of course,
are talking about other
things. too.
In Montgomery. Mr.. Foley
cites his participation in Con-
gresS' approval of the inter-
state compact transit bill,
and stresses the problems of
Federal employees and of re-
gional development. He
claims a major freshman
achievement in authoring or
aSsociating himself with IL
bills passed by Congress. Mr..
Matthias draws a number Of
"ahs" when he promises to
tight for a parents tax
credit for the expenses of
college students and, among
Republican groups at least.
"ohs" when he predicts ef-
fects of the $18 billion more
a year that Mr.. Nixon says
Senator Kennedy proposes
to spend.
In the upper counties Of
the district, both candidates
adapt their pitch to the solid
political meat they see in
their respective approaches to
the problems of farmers and
the distressed industrial areas
around Cum berland and
HagerStown.
In looking at the future.
however. both Mr.. Foley and
Mr.. Matthias are keeping at
least one eye cooked on the
past, for the strange voting
record of the 9Th District
hangs a question mark over
both their heads. The district
traditionally has had and
still haS-a top-heavy Demo-
cratic registration. Despite
this, however, the district:
l. Has not voted for a Dem
cratic presidential nominee
since Franklin Roosevelt in
1910.
2. Has elected only one
Democratic congressman
since l942-Mr. Foley in 1858.
Some Matthias supporters
claim the 1858 vote was a
result of circumstances which
don't exist today. One. they
say. is that 9th District Re-
publican congressional candi-
dates traditionally pull lower
numbers of voters in off,
presidential years, and that
1858 was particularly bad for

troubled times is too impor-
tant to be made on u. .oW
level of personal vitupera-
ton. That kind of campaiGn-
ing plus demagoguery, is the
last that should be allowed
to prevail in this year 1860.
Senator Kennedy's latest
outburst against Mr.. Nixon
Is on the ground that the
Vice President, visiting Cuba
f1ve years ago. should have
come up with a program
which might have saved Cuba
from Fidel Castro and the
Communists. At that time
Bastista, ousted last year by
Castro. was in firm control
OF Cuba. Mr.. Nixon's COM
ment in a press conference
in Havana was that Bastista's
government seemed stable"
The Republican National
Chairman, Senator Morton
Of Kentucky. has replied that
Senator Kennedy is now en-
gagged in Monday morning
quarterbacking; that neither
the Senator nor any of his
Democratic leaders were ur-
ging a new attitude by our
Government toward Cuba at
that time. or even later. The
deterioration of United
States-Cuban relations and
the fact that the Commu-
nistS, through Castro, have
a foothold in Cuba are grave
matters. Senator Kennedy has
seized on them in making his
attack on Mr.. Nixon and the
Eisenhower administrations
conduct Of Latin-American
affairs, as he was expected to
do during this presidential
campaign.
The administration, how
ever, when Castro took over
and Batista fed, was faced
with the problem of inter-
vention or wait and see.
Intervention would have
brought. it was believed, i'm
mediate angry reaction in
other Latin-American Re-
publics. The administration.
and indeed some of the
Democratic leaders, have
thought that the better way
to handle this increasingly
bad situation was through
united action of the Latin
American republics. Senator
Kennedy has still to show
how he, if President, would
deal with Castro and the
Communists.
Fantastic Charge
This Cuban issue is a legi-
innate question for him to
raise, although his effort TO
saddle Mr.. Nixon with the
blame because of a visit to
that area five years ago seems
somewhat fantastic. Mr..
Nixon has made his answer to
the charge. The Cuban situa-
tion, with all its implications.
is OF great moment to the
American people-not only of
the United States but of
North and South and Central
America. The people of the
United States should have be-
fore them when they vote on
November 8 the ideas Of both
candidates as to the way to
deal with Castro and the
Cuban mess.
This is distinctly in con-
trast, as an issue, to the
efforts to diScredit the integ-
rity OF Mr.. Nixon. to picture
him as a man without prin-
ciple and as guided only by
his own personal ambitions.
Yet such an effort is now
underway. If there is Nc
Carthyism, and all its impli-
cations. in this campaign it
has not been placed there by
Mr.. Nixon.

THE POLITICAL MILL
McCorthyism," 1860 Style
BY GOULD LINCOLN

The smear campaign
against Vice President Nixon
in this presidential campaign
began with Senator John F.
Kennedy's speech accepting
the Democratic presidential
nomination last July. In that
address, the Senator sug-
gested that the cards should
be cut by the voters before
Mr.. Nixon was given a chance
to deal (from the White
House,. This attempt to
smear his expected Repubh-
can opponents personal hon.
esty has now been followed
by Senator Lyndon johnson
Of Texas. Democratic candi-
date for Vice President, by
Senator Jackson of Washing
ton. Democratic National
Chairman, and other party
spokesmen. Senator johnson
has attempted to place a
"McCarthyism" label on Mr..
Nixon. This time, however,
the "McCarthyism" started
in the Democratic camp. In
deed. 1t began seven years
ago, as the Democrats sought
to picture Mr.. Nixon as dis
honest and a slanderer of
Democratic patriotism. Ap-
parently this is to be the
character of the Democratic
campaign from now on.
Preferred to Talk Issues
The Vice President in this
campaign preferred to take
the high road and discuss
issues rather than to drop to
the level of you're a liar
you're another" style of cam
palgning. Goaded as he has
been by these personal at
tacks upon his integrity.
however. it should be no sur
prise to anyone If Mr.. Nixon
retorts in kind. He is a hard
hitter in a political campaign,
as he has demonstrated in
the past. though he has not
descended to personalities un-
less he was first so attacked.
Senator johnson, in his
drive through the Southern
States in an effort to hold
that area in line for the Ken
nedy-JohnSon ticket, said
that Mr.. Nixon was striking
below the belt when Mr..
Nixon inserted In a speech
prepared for delivery in Phil
adelphia a statement that
Senator johnson had said he
tMr. Nixon was not an ad-
vocate Of civil rights" Sen
ator johnson went on to say
that Mr.. Nixon was resurrect-
ing "McCarthyism." AS a
matter of fact, Mr.. Nixon or-
dered the sentences quoting
the Texan on civil rights de-
leted from his Philadelphia
speech when he found that
the quotation originated in
a newspaper column, and the
Vice President did not use it
in delivering his speech. SEN
ator johnson. however, ac-
cused Mr.. Nixon of knowing
that the remark was not
true and of not using it be-
cause "he didn't have the
nerve" Further, the Senator
attacked the Vice President
on the ground that he was
aiding and abetting the ere
lig1ous issue"-(Senator Ken
nedy is a Catholic)-"under
the table" Mr.. Nixon has
leaned over backwards in his
effort to quash and avoid
this issue. He has denounced
the issue, saying that no man
should be either opposed or
supported because of his re-
ligious beliefs or his church
Affiliations.

Crime Doto Unit Cutoff
From UGF Proposed

A subcommittee of the Dis
trict Health and Welfare Coun-
Gil has recommended that the
Washington Criminal Justice
Association be cut off from
financial support by the United
Givers Fund.
The associations board of
directors will hold an emer-
gency secession Wednesday to
decide whether to appeal the
recommendation. For the last
three years the association has
received in UGF funds about
$13,500 of its annual budget of
nearly $4,000.
The recommendation was
made last month by the men,

sion was based on two consid-
erations:

qualify as a health. welfare or

the organizations purpose is to
) operate "constructively and
positively as a fact-f1nding
fact-analyzing and fact-dis-
seminating body encouraging
and promoting proper contacts
and understanding among citi-
zens and officials charged with
administration of criminal JUS
tice in the District of Column
bia."
Both the subcommittee and
L. Clark Schilder, executive di-
rector of the association, re-
called that the question of
UGF support is not new one,
In 1855 an HWC subcommit-
tee recommended that support
of the association-provided by
the old Community Chest and
UGF since l939-be discontin-
ued. However, the subcommit-
tee reversed this recommended
tion after an appeal.
Mr.. Schilder said today he
feels the new subcommittee
recommendation is based on a
definition of welfare" that is
too narrow. He said the as
sociation program operates for
the general welfare of the conf
munity.
"And our status now is nc
different from what it was 20
years ago." Mr.. Schilder added
But Isadore Seaman. execu-
tive director of the HWC, said
the subcommittee was looking
at the question from the stand
point of the functions of other
UGF-supported agencies.
He cited another agency
which supplies direct financial
support and advice to criminals
who have been released on pro-
baton or parole.
Direct financial support is
certainly one of the things
the subcommittee feels should
be called welfare" Mr.. Sea-
man said.
However, he conceded that
the definition of the word "wel-
fare" is as varied as the func-
tions of the more than 100
agencies supported here by
the UGF.
He stressed that the sub
committee recommendation was
not based on this point alone.
He called attention to the re-
ports contention that it is
hard to find whether or not
there is evidence the associa-
ton program is well executed
and has an effect on criminal
justice"
The report also said studies
have shown that elsewhere in
this country only one agency
similar to the local association
receives community chest sup
port.
The subcommittee suggested
that the association. rather
than seeking general commu-
nifty financial support, with
