The retrial of Gordon Leon
Contee, Is, on charges of raping
a 25-year-old nursing home
patient was transferred today
from Montgomery County to
Anne Arundel County Circuit
Court, where it will be heard
July II.
The Maryland Court of Ap-
peals reversed Contee's earlier
conviction, on grounds that the
court did not inquire into the
question of racial prejudice of
prospective jurors.
Contee's attorney, James B.
Davis, requested a change of
venue for the retrial on grounds
that his client could not re-
ceive a fair trial in Montgom-

businessmen would provide such
accommodations if assured of

State Senator ArmiStead L.
Boothe today declared that
populous Northern Virginia will
determine who wins the cur
rent gubernatorial campaign.
A large vote will mean VIC
tory for the Stephens -Boothe-

mean its defeat, he predicted.

July II. Mr.. Boothe roundly
ridiculed the opposition camp,
including former Gov. Stanley,
for charging he wants to abol-
ish the States right-Lo-work

Describing the present po-
litical fight as a ''knock-down.
drag-out affair."" he asserted
that even If Thomas jefferson
had been running he would
have been smeared with the
same distortions to which he
alleged he has been subjected.
Hopes for Big, Vote
There is no scintilla of
doubt that the 10th district,
for the first time in the history
Of Virginia. holds the key to
the election" he said.
Northern Virginia has 150,-
600 qualified voters, more than
many combinations of two dis
tricts downState. I am hoping
for a 10000 majority in this
district. If we get it, I think
we will win"
But Mr.. Boothe, a candidate
for lieutenant governor, insisted
that other areas of the State
will produce IAN amazing"

rison Goodwin Button slate,
which has the backing of the
Byrd organization.

Valdenar was supposed to do

"As a nation which has
directly experienced the fright
ened ravages of nuclear explo-
sionS. Japan positively cannot
approve of any nuclear develop
ment for military purposes
which could lead humanity to
destruction"
1t added that because of
Japan's geographic position,
there is an extremely great
possibility that Japan will be
subjected directly to the ef-
fects of nuclear tests conducted
in the Soviet Union. and the
first signs of this danger have
already appeared.
Therefore the japanese gov
( ernment reserves the right to
claim indemnity for all damage
which may be suffered by the

pie as a result of the reck-
less tests being persistently car
ried cut by the Soviet govern
ment," the note said.

cess, rushed to a second floor

ments from Communist North
Wet Nam in recent months.
The province chief, an Army
major, and a number of his
military and civil aides were
beheaded at Phuoc Thanh.
Several dozen defending civil
guardsmen were killed. About
so wounded were rushed back
to Saigon.
The provincial buildings were
ransacked and burned before
the rebel units fled into the for
ests and rubber estates Of the
upcountry area. Paratroops and
ranger units reached the scene
in the morning. and other troops
were being rushed in.
Military sources put the
strength of the attacking rebels
anywhere up to 1900 men.
At least two other large at
tacks were reported from the
strategic area north of Saigon.
Well informed government
circles speculated that the Wet
Cong rebels are masSing for
larger hit and run attacks on
government bases in order to
keep major government forces
tied down in defensive positions
while the rebels build new
bases.
Government strategy has been
toward increased mobility, seek
ing out the enemy and trying
to destroy their bases.
Military sources said there
were both paratroops and rang
ers stationed in the Phuoc
Thanh area but they were away
