Sosscer Set to Cho||enqe
WheotIey's Bid for Senate
BY JAMES b. ROWLAND
Star staff Writer

An all-OuC ugnJ 1Cf Lne
Prince Georges County seat in
the State Senate appeared
likely as Delegate Lansdale G.
Sasscer, jr., last night said he
wants to run against the in
cumbent, Winship Wheatley, jr.
II am definitely interested in
running for the Senate and
am seeking the support of the
County State Central Com
mittee," Mr.. Sasscer said.
Senator Wheatley, SO, who
filed Monday for a third term.
said he also has sought the
committee support but received
no commitment. Both lawmak-
ers ran on the commit } Or
ganization ticket four years ago.
Mr.. Sasscer, 35, who heads
the county's seven-member, all
Democratic delegation, got a
solid boost for the Senate last
night from several clubs rec
ommending candidates to the
committee through the Prince
Georges Council of Democratic
Clubs.
33 Recommended
There were no recommen-
dations for Senator Wheatley.
The so Democratic clubs COM
prising the council were asked
earlier to submit names Of per-
sons considered acceptable and
capable" of being candidates in
the May Is primary.
Thirty-three persons were
recommended. some by several
clubs. OF the total. 81 either
hold elected office now or are
employed by the county.
L. Harold Sothoron, commit
tee chairman, said his group
still has Ito iron out some
rough edges" on the candidate
question, and a slate would
not be announced before the
first Of next week.
But there was no doubt in
anyone's mind that the COM
mittee's nod for State Senate
would go to Mr.. Sasscer. son
of the former United States
Representative and now titular
party head in Prince Georges.
Big Wheatley Following
A hard-fought Senate cam
paign fight Is almost certain,
however, as Senator Wheatley
has built up a following Of
outspoken voters when differ
ing with other members Of the
delegation on certain bills.
Candidates recommended by
the council to the committee
in past years have comprised
about 80 per cent of the ticket
finally announced by the COM
mittee.
The council, by voice vote
and over the objection of one
delegate, approved the State
slate headed by Gov. Tawes.
Others on this ticket, already
backed by the Central Commit
tee. are House Speaker Perry
o. Wilkinson, for Congressman
at-large; Representative Daniel
Brewster for Senate, and Con-
troller Louis L. Goldstein and
Attorney General Thomas B.
Finan, incumbents.
Single Objection
The list also included in
cumbent Representative Rich
ard E. Lankford, already backed
by the committee for re-
election. One club supported
Elbert Byrd, a University of
Maryland professor running for
Senate, and this was forwarded
to the committee.
The lone objection to indors-
ing a State ticket came from F.

Education
Loan Funds
Are On Rise

The National Defense Educa
tion Act has increased the
amount of private giving for stu
dent loans. says the Office oi
Scholarships and Financial Aids
at Wayne State University.
An early concern that the pro
gram would hinder private Civ
ing has proven false. Stimulated
perhaps by publicity about the
need for loans, private donors
have given even greater amounts
to the University.
The National Defense program
has also freed over-extended
funds to meet the total needs OF
Wayne State students.
Over the past 10 years. a re.
port by the Office shows. the
number Of privately endowed
loan funds at the University has
increased 1921 per cent while
the total amount available has
increased 124 per cent.
Coupled with the increase in
money available has been a rise
in the acceptance of the idea OF
borrowing to finance a college
education. While the number OF
student borrowers has grown As
per cent the amount. borrowed
has jumped 213 per cent.
The University has on deposit
in l18 separate accounts a total
of Sl35.630. The loans are grant.
ed to students from any college
or school of the University who
