Four Arlington 6. o. P. Candidates
Hammer at Democrats Stronqpoint
By BRIAN KELLY
star staff Writer

Star staff Writer
In Arlington's contest for
four seats In the Virginia leg
islature, the vocal Republican
challengers have chosen what
would appear to be their
Democratic oppoSition's strong
est position for direct frontal
assault.
In effect. the Republicans
are wooing Arlington votes on
the ground they can swing
more weight In the largely
Democratic General Assembly
than an incumbent delegation
Of Democrats.
II the @. o. p. proposition
seems to be faulty, that's ex-
actly what the Democrats are
calling 1t. But the Republicans
contend their arguments prove
their point.
The Democratic contingent
consists Of Senator Charles r.
Fenwick. with % years stand
ing in the assembly. Delegates
c. Harrison Mann. jr., and Mrs.
Kathryn Stone. seeking their
sixth terms. and william L.
Winston. incumbent House
member and aspirant for q
fifth term.
The Republicans trying to
dislodge this group are Senate
rial candidate Robert j. Gerber,
the 10th District G. o. P. and
House candidates Frederic w.
Barnes, NJ. Patton Echols, IT.,
and Marion E. Harrison.
Both Claim Strength
The Democrats say they con-
stitute a strong team capable
of bringing to Arlington the
special legislation it needs for
rapid urban growth, while the
Republicans also claim solidar-
ity in their pledges to obtain
benefits for Arlington which
they say their opponents have
failed to bring about.
On the Senate side, the ,
Democratic incumbent is q
member Of the Senate Sterling
Committee. chairman Of the
Welfare Committee, a ranking J
member Of the Finance Com
mittee and a senior member Of
committees on counties, cities
towns and roads. Senator Fen
wick also is on important sp-
pointed bodies such as the c
Governors Advisory Budget
Committee. c
IF you send someone down
there who does not have that 4
experience, who does not have
that seniority, he cannot get
the same things DONE" Senator
Fenwick tells his audiences. He
contends the d delegation he
heads has brought an urbanized
Arlington county the privileges
of city status but kept for 1t
the tax and revenue benefits of
q county.
G. o. p. Asks Change
To this argument, the Repu-
blicans contend a change is
needed. The G. o. P. slate ar
cues its Democratic opponents
have lost favor with conserva-
tive Democrats "downstate" by
associating with the liberal ma
tional Democrats in the Wash
ington area.
Mr.. Gerber has borne down =
heavily on the theme that Ar Il
lington deserves a more equita- IL
Bile return for its tax dollars. 1
In addition, the Republicans
predict they would be more eff r
fective in the General Assem- I
bly, because they could vote in a O
pivotal" position without COM e
mitment to feuding factions of
Democrats. S
Winston Raps Rivals =,
Delegate Winston has dis L
sected the G. o. P. campaign C

Democratic incumbent both too n
liberal and too conservative at v
once. '
They are totally bankrupt q

Wallace Booking
In Maryland Vote
Doubted by Bailey

BALTIMORE, Sept. Z (AP).
John M. Bailey, national
Democratic chairman, doubts
that Marylanders would vote
for what he termed the ire
sponsible racist program Of
Gov. Wallace" Of Alabama.
Mr.. Bailey's view was con-
tanned in a letter to Herbert
r. O'Conor, jr., who had writ
ten the Democratic leader
about the possibility Of Gov
Wallace's entering Maryland's
presidential primary next May
The Alabama Governor has
said he will enter primaries in
several Northern States to
bring out what he says is voter
resentment to President Ken
nedy's stand on equal rights
for Negroes.
Mr.. O'Conor had wired Mr.
Bailey that If President Ken
nedy doesn't file in the Mary
land primary Gov. TaweS
should be persuaded to do sc
to prevent Mr.. Wallace from
capturing the States Demo
cratic convention votes.
Mr.. Bailey replied:
And I cannot believe that
the Democrats of Maryland
would reject a great Democratic
President and cast their sup
port behind the irresponsible
raciSt program Of Gov. Wal
lace"

sideration, Gen. Duke said. In
the meantime, District resi-
dents have not suffered be-
cause of the vacancy, because
the Maryland and Virgin ia
transit commissioners have
been k eeping in close touch
with District officials, he said.
Mr.. Washington's chief rival
for the vacancy is Gen. Duke
himself. Former District Engi-
neer Commissioner Frederick j.
Clarke was on the area transit
commission before he left his
District position, creating the
vacancy.
