THE POLITICAL MILL
RockefeIIer's Hat in Rinq to Stay
By GOULD LINCOLN

The Republicans have a
strong ticket, including Gov.
Rockefeller, Senator Jacob
K. JavitS, Lieut.. Gov. Wilson
and Attorney General Lefko-
witz, all seeking reelection.
Mr.. Lefkowitz was the Re
publican candidate for mayor
against Mr.. Wagner in the
last mayoralty election. He
made a better run-losing to
Mr.. Wagner by 402, 900 votes
than any Republican can
didate in years. Four years
ago Mr.. Wagner won by
more than 100000. Gov.
Rockefeller lost the city in
1858 by 100000 votes in his
race against Gov. Hartman,
a very narrow margin in a
year that was eXtrem mely
Democratic throughout the
country.
The ImpOnderabIes
The imponderables in the
coming gubernatorial race
if Gov. Rockefeller and Mayor
Wagner are to be the oppos-
ing candidates-may have an
important effect on the re-
suit. For the Governor, it is
his recent divorce. 1t is true
that other New York Gov
ernors have been divorced
men, among them Mr.. Harri-
man. his immediate prede-
cessor. Not until the votes are
counted will it be possible to
estimate what the divorce will
do to the Rockefeller vote.
1t was because of his divorce
that the rumors started
months ago that he would
wait until after the legislative
session and then take himself
out of the political picture.
Another rumor that went
along with this was that Gov.
Rockefeller was to be remar-
ried almost Immediately. His
close friends say there are no
signs of any plans for remar-
riage. The latest rumor was
that he would resign in May,
but that has been scotched by
his appointment of William L.
Pfeiffer. former Representa-
tive and former Republican
State chairman, to be his
campaign manager. The
Governors fighting statement
was made to a group Of Re
publican leaders and the Re
publican members Of the
State legislature. 1t was re-
ceived with enthusiasm, and
the campaign is already on.
The imponderable for
Mayor Wagner-and for anv
other Democratic candidate
for Governor-lies in the
harsh fight between Mavor
Wagner and the Reform
Group including Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt and former
Senator Herbert Lehman, on
the one side, and the Demo-
cratic organization headed bv
Carmine G.. DeSapio and
Democratic State Chairman
Prendergast on the other,
when Mr.. Wagner was seek
ing denomination for mayor.
Many heads have tumbled,
including those of Mr.. De-
Sapio (though he still re-
mains Democratic National
Committeeman and Of Mr..
Prendergast. Some Of the
Democrats have been further
embittered because Of their
belief that the Kennedys, eS-
peciallv the Attorney General.
entered into the party fight
in a big way on the side of
Mr.. Wagner and the reform
erS. No one knows how deem
are the wounds and how
strong an effect they may
have on the voting.

Fuirfux Warned
Of Danger of
School Fund Cut

Fairfax County School Supt.
Earl c. Fundefburk said today
the county supervisors $1.8
million school budget cut has
had a terrific impact" on the
planned education program.
1.-THE amount of the reduc-
ton more than erases the
'go-ahead part of the school
budget" Mr.. Funderburk said,
adding that "a reduction of the
magnitude with which we are
faced .canont be done without
sacrificing the educational pro-
gram"
He said it was imperative
that we retain the (teacher)
salary increase portion of the
budget" Even this will put
our salary schedule low on the
totem pole in the Metropolitan
Area" he said.
Mr.. Funderburk said he and
other school officials are study
ing the program to determine
where cuts can be made with
the least possible damage"

Despite heavy rain and
storm-filled skies, DIR. Graham
drew a capacity crowd. OFF,
Gals said several thousand per-
sons were turned away. Many
in the audience we're under Is

love Of God we need it now"

Fuirfux Suit
Asks Custer
Of4OfficiuIs

A former Falls Church school
board member who was refused
reappointment by the city
council, filed suit yesterday
asking that four councilmen be
disqualified from holding Of
flee.
william A. Pierce commended
| in a suit filed in Fairfax
County Circuit Court that the
four councilmen are ineligible
to rule because Virginia law
prohibits Federal employees
from holding office.
The suit named Councilmen
Samuel j. Dennis, Thomas r
Jones, Lee Rhoads and Harold
Silverstein.
The question of whether Fed
eral employees may sit on the
city council has arisen a num-
Der of times before, but city
attorneys in the past have
held that the city charter ex-
empts Falls Church from the
prohibition in the State Law.
The suit, filed by Mr.. Pierce's
attorney, Douglas Clark, asks
that the seats be declared va
cant from the time each took
office.
Mr.. Pierce, an unsuccessful
candidate for Democratic NOM
ination to the House of Dele
gates in 1859, was a member
of the school board for foul
years. He was refused reap
pointment after councilmer
from the Citizens for a Better
City (CBC) took control of the
council.

Then on May Is, Mr.. Ralph
was fired by Mr.. Freeman after

Mr.. Ralph said that when

him: I've got a credit card

When he learned it was

Mr.. Ralph said he under

use of the credit card number
because she wrote a column fol-

Appeal Filed
GusChumber

ANNAPOLIS, June 8 Cap
The National Capital and
American Civil Liberties unions
asked the Court of Appeals
yesterday whether two Negro
men were constitutionally con-
victed in Montgomery County
Circuit Court for the rape of
a 16-year-old white girl.
They argued that the due
process and equal-protection
clauses Of the Fourteenth
Amendment require that the
law applicable in State crimi-
nal cases be decided by the
court and not by the jury. In
Maryland, a jury decides both
the facts and the law.
James v. Giles, 20, and his
brother John g. Giles. %, of
Spencerville, were convicted by
a jury Of raping a Hyattsville
girl on July 20, 1861, and SEN
fenced to die in the gas
chamber.
The civil liberties unions, in
"a brief filed as a friend of the
court, said "the rule of the
Maryland Constitution which
assigns to the jury the right
to decide questions of law in
criminal cases is so funda-
mentally unfair that it violates
the Fourteenth Amendment OF
the Federal Constitution.
THE uncertainty fostered by
allowing the jury to decide is
sues Of law may result in such
outlandish holdings if such
a word may be applied to a
verdict Of a jury, as, for ex-
ample, that a man may be
guilty of rape even if the
woman has consented, that
guilt need not be proved be-
yond a reasonable doubt, or
that the burden of proof is on
the defendant"
The unions also said the
system in Maryland denied to
the Giles brothers the equal
protection Of the laws of this
State.
They asked the high court
to reverse the conviction and
order a new trial for the
GileseS.
The case will be argued be-
fore the Court of Appeals
June IL.

Votes Record
Defense Funds
By J. A. OTEARY
Star staff Writer

A record peacetime defense
budget of $48.4 billion was ap-
proved yesterday by the Senate
Appropriations Committee.
1t is $5S9.7 million more than
the House allowed and SIG
billion above appropriations
for the past year. The full
committee approved without
change recommendations of a
subcommittee headed by Sena-
tor Robertson, Democrat of
Virginia. which would:
/. Give the Air Force the
full amount Of $491 million it
wanted to develop the RS-70
bomber with a complete weap-
ons system, as against only
$l71 million in the Presidents
budget.
2. Require the Defense De-
partment to maintain the Ma
tional Guard at 100000 men
and the Army Reserve at 3O0,-
900. The budget had proposed
a reduction in the Army Re-
serve to 275,000 and in the
National Guard to $4,000.
| For several years Congress
and the executive branch have
been at odds over how fast
money should be spent to de-
velop the new bomber plane,
formerly called the BIO, and
now designated the RS-70.
Although there is no language
in the bill that would COM
pei the administration to spend
the full amount allowed for
this new bomber, the commit
tee report urges Defense Sec
rotary Mcnamara to spend it
all so we will have a fully
developed weapons system to
replace the presently opera
tional long-range bombers, the
last Of which will be delivered
to the Air Force in the fall of
this year."
The vote in committee on the
RS-70 increase was TIA. It is
expected to be the most contro-
versial issue when the bill is
taken up in the Senate Tues
day.
The committee report cites
the testimony Of Gen. Curtis
E. lie May, Air Force chief OF
staff, that the RS-70 program
already has been delayed four
years. The committee adds that
failure to spend the full amount
will result in an additional year
of delay.
Senator Robertson said the
funds restored to maintain the
National Guard and Army Re-
serve at present strength will
not prevent the Pentagon from
reorganizing these contlngents
to get rid of obsolete units,
But the committee recon-
mended that in any reorgan-
ization, the number and geo.
graphical location of existing
units be maintained.
