Election campaigners in
Fairfax County head into the
final days of the race with just
about everyone running scared.
Republicans, who conducted
the liveliest campaign in two
decades. were hoping to win
two seats in the General As
sembly for the first time since
l941. Democrats doubted it
would happen but admitted
they we're concerned.
And even the county's nom
political officials were showing
election filters, admittedly wor-
ried about the chances for their
$40 million sanitary sewer bond
issue.
The Republicans running to
represent Fairfax and Falls
Church in the House of Dele
gates. Hobart K. Mcdowell and
Glenn Burklund, have tried
during the campaign to over
come a tradition and a para
dox.
Carried by BrOyhill
Except for the one time in
1941, Fairfax voters have sent
Democrats to the State legis-
lature as far back as most
politicians can remember.
Yet the county has given
increasingly larger majorities
to Republican Representative
Broyhill and it went for Gen.

Another political explosion
rocked the Arlingtonians for a
Better County virtually on
election eve yesterday as Her.
bert Brown furiously denounced
some of the coalition leader
ship as weak and cowardly."
His statements issued during
a county board recess brought
prominent ABC leaders hur-

courthouse to defend the for
mer coalition member and to
join in repudiating Ralph Kaul,
who quit the group last week.
One of the angriest ex-
changes of recent Arlington
politics followed.
Personally hurt because he
felt the ABC has remained su-
pine before charges by Mr..
Kaul that he and other board
members have been conducting
public business secretly, Mr..
Brown declared:
THE phoniness and hypoc-
risy which characterized these
charges of secret meetings are
bad enough. What is worse is
the pusillanimous silence of
most of the ABC leadership,

Relief Work Called
Success in Baltimore

BALTIMORE, Nov. 4 (AP)-
A program requiring that able
bodied Baltimore City welfare
recipients work for their
monthly benefit checks was de-
scribed as a success yesterday.
The city's Welfare Advisory
Committee, which sets policy
for the Welfare Department,
said a report covering the first
four months of the new pro-
gram showed 309 welfare recip-
tents had worked for their
grants, in the amount of $16,-
526. The committee asked the
Board of Estimates to make the

Liberal, Conservative, Reoctionory-
All Are Labels in Arlington Election

Democratic legislators from
Arlington, who sometimes are
denounced in Richmond as
wild-eyed liberals, are unac-
customed to being denounced
at home as reactionarieS.
Arlington Delegates Harrison
Mann. Kathryn Stone and Will
liam Winston are even more
unaccustomed to having a full
array Of Republicans running
against them.
But this year three Repub-
licans, seeking Arlington's three
seats in the House of Dele
gates-John Epaminonda, AL
vim Smell and Donald Whyte-
have attempted to portray their
opponents as satraps of a re-
dictionary machine.
They have ridiculed Virginia
blue laws" and two of them
have demanded repeal of tut
ton grants. In doing so they
have adopted positions en-
braced by the Arlington County
Board which generally is con-
sidered to be under the control
Of liberals.
While they insist they are
"the authentic conservatives"
their cries for heavier invest
ment in education, industriali-
zation and tax reform sound
much like those voiced by anti
Byrd forces in the Democratic
primary last July.
Mr.. Mann, Mrs. Stone and
Mr.. Winston have responded
much in the manner of patient
teachers deSirous of politely
showing pupils the error of |
their ways and the facts of |
Virginia political life.
Fortified by considerable leg |
islative experience and knowl-
edge that Arlington never has |
sent a Republican to the Gen
eral Assembly, they have con-
tended that they have gotten |
more money for schools, branch |
universities and vocational /
training. and have fostered |
revolutionary improvement of
mental institutions.
Claiming that they have ac- (
complished more legislation
than any other single delega-
ton, they rather bluntly imply
that it would be madness for
Arlington to entrust its fate
in Richmond to inexperienced
Republicans who would be lost
among hostile Democrats. At
present only four of the 100
House members are Repubh-
cans.
Arlington voters decisively
rejected the gubernatorial
ticket which emerged from the
Democratic primary. BY criti-
cizing State Senator Armistead
Boothe, leader Of the anti
Byrd slate, on the eve of the
primary, Mr.. Mann and Mr.
Winston angered some liberals
who privately threatened to
vote against them.
The election will be Tuesday. .

Sewer Bonds
Plan Attacked
In Fairfax


A Fairfax County landowner
has made a last-minute ap-
peal to voters to defeat the
county's $40 million sanitary
sewer bond issue on Tuesday.
In an advertisement appear
ing in a County newpaper yes
terday, Martin T. Webb, of
Annandale, denounced the is
sue and called on voters to
kill it dead"
Mr.. Webb's attack was the
first opposition the bonds have
encountered, but it worried
Fairfax officials who have ex-
pressed concern that voter
apathy might defeat them.
Mr.. Webb, father of Delegate
John c. Webb, said the bond
proposal was mot in the best
interest of Fairfax County"
and not financially feasible in
the areas where the proposed
sewers would run.
Reject Arguments
County officials Immediately
rejected Mr.. Webb's arguments.
The project would definitely be
feasible, Director of Public
Works Carl w. Porter said.
If the issue is passed, he
said, the improvements to the
sewer system can be made
without raising the $39-a-year
fee which has been charged to
users for the last eight years.
The bonds are to finance
extensions to two sewage treat
ment plants and to extend
lines in the Upper Accotink,
Madrillon Farms and Scott
Run areas of the County as
well as other improvements to
the sewerage.
Mrs. Anne wilkins, chair
man of the Board of County
Supervisors, has said the i'm
provements are essential to
the growth of Fairfax County"
Additions Needed
Even If the issue is defeated,
she has warned, additions will
have to be made to the Hunt
ing Creek and the Dogue Creek
plants and costs will have to
be borne by residents presently
connected to the sewer system.
Mr.. Webb argued in his ad-
vertisement that the issue will
jeopardize the County's credit
rating. In addition, he said, it
will mean abandonment of
three pumping stations and
two miles of main lines.
County officials replied that
the bonds are to be repaid out
of revenue from charges
against those who use the
sewers and will have no effect
on taxes.
This was a touchy point,
however, with public works au-
thorities, who have expressed
concern that the ballot no.
where says the bonds are to
be repaid out of revenue.
Some officials have expressed
fear that, since many voters
will not be familiar with the
proposal. some may vote
against it.
Compact System
To Mr.. webb's charge that
approval of the issue will mean
abandonment of three pumping
stations. officials replied that
the project is designed to make
a large, compact system out
Of a small, scattered one, and
elimination of small plants is
essential to economy of opera
ton.
The County has not con-
Quoted any large-scale cam
paign to sell the issue to
voters, since there has been,
until now, no organized op-
position.
But last week some officials
expressed fear that unless more
citizens get behind the issue,
it may fail. If it should, they
said, the cost to County resi-
dents will be increased, and
said the extensions and addi-
tionS will cost more money if
delayed.
Concern about the bond pro-
poSal has prompted some citi-
zenS in the northern end of
the County to organize a COM
mittee to push for its ap-
proval, Mr.. Porter said.

ARLINGTON VOTES TUESDAY
Campaign Ending in Usual TumuIt
BY JOHN BARRON
star staff Writer

Until a few days ago, it
seemed that Arlington voters
would be deprived Of the an
nual political blood-letting
which has become a traditional
part of autumn in the county.
In pursuit of election to the
county board, Democrat VIII
liam Wetmore, Republican Ken
meth Ludwig, In ndepen dent
Julius Brenner, and Roye Lowry
of the Arlingtonians for a Bet
ter County had failed to develop
any dramatic issues during a
number Of speeches before gen.
orally sparse crowds.
But last week. their friends
began to restore a semblance of
normality by crashing party
lines and issuing a shower of
charges which, in addition to
inflaming personal animosities,
make clearer what is at issue
in the balloting Tuesday.
Majority Lost
Control Of the county board, |
heretofore not an issue in the
campaign, now very much is
one.
When Ralph Kaul caused a !
turor by abandoning the ABC |
to indorse Mr.. Wetmore, he also
deprived the coalition Of its ma
iority on the board. 1t is COM
posed Of Mr.. Kaul, now con-
sidered a Democrat; ABC mem
bers Leo Urbanske and Thomas
Richards. and Independents
Ernest Wilt and Herbert Brown.
The latter quit the coalition last
year and has refused to seek
reelection.
What happens to Mr.. Lowry
at the polls Tuesday will offer
an indication of whether Ar
lington wishes to continue the
type Of non-partiSan govern
ment it has had since 1858. 1t
also should provide evidence
concerning how we'll the ABC !
can survive the acrimonious in
ternal dissension which has
cost it such leaders as Mr..
Brown and Mr.. Kaul.
Rundown of Candidates
Seldom has the outcome Of
an Arlington County Board
election appeared so uncertain.
The ABC still has the for
midable precinct organization
and dedicated workers who
have helped it win every con-
tested local election since 1855.
The Republicans, sensing that
a split in the non-conservative
Vote may enable them to achieve
their first local triumph in
years, are optimistic. The
Democrats have been encour-
aged by what they assert Is a
favorable voter response to the
personal appearances Of their
candidate.
Mr.. Brenner, independent, is
the only candidate who op-
poses a proposed $6.5 million
bond issue and the only one
conceded little chance Of win
ming.
Mr.. Lowry, a former diplo-
mat with an extensive academic |
background, has completely en-
braced the ABC record regard
ing school improvement, fiscal
management, zoning and plan
ming calculated Ito preserve
Arlington as a residential COM
munity."
Mr.. Ludwig, whose business
success enabled him to retire
at 80, has based his Republican
campaign primarily upon the
charge that the ABC is driving
business from the county and
the claim that by making busi-
ness welcome he would attract
new tax revenues.
Mr.. WetmOre, a lawyer and
former fighter pilot, probably
has had the most difficult lole
in the campaign. He has had
to try to hold the support Of
some of the more conservative
Democrats while attempting to
win votes from ABC adhersnts.
Evening star., 1961-11-05

which knows the facts but has
lacked the candor and decency
to speak out effectively.
Il almost wish I were back
in ABC so I could again resign
in protest from a political coal
ition, some of whose leadership
is too short-sighted, too weak
and too cowardly to defend
itself"
Mr.. Brown, however. main
tained his support of the ABC
county board candidate, Roye
Lowry.
Kaul Hits Back
Mr.. Kaul retorted by blam-
ing Mr.. Brown for the secret
meetings" which he asserted
are morally wrong and con-
trary to principles of Ameri-
can democracy" and threaten
to corrupt and destroy the
good government of Arling-
ton"
Learning of the fight, Alan
Dean. Edmund Campbell and
Robert Reynolds, three of the
coalitions organizers and fore
most leaders, rushed to join it.
1--WE can understand Herb
Browns emotions because of
our own personal knowledge"
they said. "Mr. Kaul's charges
are. as Mr.. Brown says, hypo-
critical and untrue.
I'VE know as an unchal-
lengeable fact that meetings of
the kind Mr.. Kaul now criti-
cizes were initiated during his
own term as chairman of the
County Board and were held
at his own home"
Mr.. Kaul said that he had
pleaded with Board Chairman
Leo Urbanske to discontinue
the informal conferences con-
Quoted before official meet
ings.
Brown Stand Cited
"He told me that Herb Brown
would not go along with this
and continued the practice of
closed meetings" Mr.. Kaul
said.
Il cannot in good conscience
continue in an organization
whose board members and can
didates would take the public
business behind closed doors" I"
Mr.. Brown declared that in
1858, during his first term on
the board, board members, in
cluding Mr.. Kaul, met privately
some 20 times, often in Mr..
Kaul's home.
If these work sessions are
sinful, Mr.. Kaul has sinned
along with the rest of us. Per-
haps he is the greater sinner
because he has denounced these
sessions after having been an
active participant" he said.
Board members who want
to do their job must be familiar
with so or more items on the
agenda of each meeting, plus
other community problems. We
have questions to raise. We
need to pick each others brains.
We can't function sealed off in
a vacuum"
Mr.. Kaul insisted that any
meetings he may have attended
were confined to broad policy
discussions and not an item-by-
item review of the boards
agenda.
All the other board members,
including independent Ernest
Wilt, aligned themselves with
Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. Urbanske charged that
irresponsible statements by Mr.
Kaul are a direct consequence
Of his failure to inform himself
about county affairs y
