The furor was touched off
when county police arrested

Eventually were dropped against
these employees, but a test case

said he had acted because ap-

being built in more highly de-
veloped parts Of Mclean. Mr..
Leigh represents Dranesville

DuVal said that Mr.. Leigh had
campaigned on a platform op-
posing apartments anywhere in
his district and that he recently
had assured citizens he would
attempt to defeat the apart

Double Cross Charged
After the seven-hour hearing
at which the development was
approved, Mr.. DuVal said he
walked up to Mr.. Leigh and
declared: "You double-crossed

said that residents of the area
must at once consider all legal
steps to establish a separate

Repercussions in Fairfax
There were further repercus-

MuhOney Attack
In S&L Scandal
BY the Associated Press

Maryland Gubernatorial can
didate George P. Mahoney
came under sharp attack yes
terday while a rival for the
Democratic nomination, David
Hume, offered his Endorsement
to Carleton r. SickleS, candi-
date for congreSSman-at-large
on the Mahoney ticket.
A Gordon Boone, majority
leader of the House of Dele
gates, struck back hard at Mr..
Mahoney, who had blamed Gov.
Tawes and Mr.. Boone Thurs
day for the savings and loan
scandals"
Mr.. Mahoney had condemned
Mr.. Boone as one of the orig
inal incorporators of South
brook Building Corporation, al
legged by the State to have re-
ceived a larger loan from the
Maryland Thrift Savings and
Loan Association than the land
pledged by the mortgage was
worth.
Court Freezes Assets
The Montgomery County
Circuit Court froze the assets
of Maryland Thrift on Wednes-
day.
Mr.. Boone, an attorney, re-
piled that Mr.. Mahoney knows
full well that lawyers, in the
course of their profession, often
act as incorporators Of firms
in which they have no financial
interests.
Mr.. Mahoney and 1 have
known each other for many
years." Mr.. Boone continued,
"and he knows that I am an
honorable man.
II have nothing to apologize
for. My conscience is clear.
But is Mr.. Mahoney's?"
Mr.. Hume, who is campaign
ing alone, could be creating
an unofficial fusion ticket by
personally indorsing Mr.. Sickles
and later other Statewide can
didates.
Hume Praises Sickles
Mr.. Hume is counting on
considerable split voting to WIN
the nomination among seven
candidates, of whom Gov.
Tawes and Mr.. Mahoney have
been the leading contenders.
Mr.. Hume said he chose to
indorse Mr.. SickleS in the May
Is Democratic primary because
of his demonstrated ability
in the Legislature for eight
years and the clarity with
which he has discussed the
issues"
He said he will soon name
whom he likes among the
candidates for controller and
attorney general even if they
happen to be aligned with op-
position tickets. He added he
did not feel he would indorse
any candidate for United
States Senate "at this time"
