Jack Logan, co- Broyhill Scoffs at Kaul In Opening Campaign Representative Joel T. Broyhill opened his campaign for re-election last night by urging Northern Virginians to disci pline themselves and resist the lure of heavy Federal spending. Formally announcing his candidacy before more than 500 cheering Republicans, he accused his Democratic challenger, Ralph Kaul, of preparing a "campaign of smear and in nuendo." But aside from this remark and another scoffing at Mr. Kaul's claim to past party loyalty, Mr. Broyhill virtually turned the other cheek to recent Democratic charges that he is a politician out of the 19th century. Reckless Boondoggling Rather, he dwelt upon denunciations of “the steady trend toward bigger and bigger government” and “the reckless; boondoggling Expenditures by which extension of Federal Government is being bought. Mr. Broyhill asserted he always has voted for legitimate domestic expenditures; and those necessary for defense. But he declared himself "bitterly opposed" to government encroachments upon functions which properly belong to the States, localities and private industry. “Those who are pushing for more and more Federal action in local affairs and for big domestic spending programs are something like an over-indulgent parent who babies a child and gives him everything he wants whether it is good for him or not,” Mr. Broyhill said. “However, as the child gains maturity, the day comes when he realizes for himself the need for self-discipline. I believe a great majority of the people in the 10th district are adult enough to understand the need for greater self-reliance by State and local governments and private industry.” He urged that a larger share of taxing powers be returned to communities so that they will not find themselves “more and more in the position of beggars." Wants Accurate Scrutiny Mr. Broyhill said that in seeking his fifth congressional term, he will welcome Democratic scrutiny of his record. "And I don't care how hard-hitting it is, as long as it is straightforward, accurate and complete," he added. Neither Mr. Kaul nor Mr. Broyhill expects opposition.

Asked if he would engage in face-to-face debate with Mr. Kaul, Mr. Broyhill said he will conduct his campaign as in the past and will “not share it with anyone.” Mr. Broyhill spoke at a campaign dinner at Walnut Hill Lodge in Fairfax County. Replies To Kennedy Another speaker, Representative Miller, Republican of New York, chairman of the G. O. P. Congressional Campaign Committee, blasted recent Democratic campaign tactics. Ridiculing the statement of Senator Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, that 17 million Americans go to bed hungry each night, he declared that if Americans are hungry it is because they have been so well fed under the Eisenhower administration that they are dieting. He also denounced Democratic demands for increased Federal expenditures for public housing and other domestic programs. He dismissed as “rubbish” Democratic assertions that the United States is becoming a second-rate military power.

Hearing Set On Public Housing Site A proposed public housing site northwest of Alabama avenue and Ainger place S.E. will be the subject of a District Commissioners' public hearing at 10 a.m. May 27. This has been requested by the National Capital Housing Authority, its executive director, James Ring, said today. The National Capital Planning Commission approved the location Thursday in closed session. The project is known as Fort Side. Mr. Ring explained the new project will provide from 150 to 200 units and will consist of rows or groups of houses. He said that no estimate of cost has yet been ascertained. There are a few old houses on the site, he said, “The authority was somewhat reluctant to undertake a project in that area because of other public housing developments that are in that general vicinity,” Mr. Ring pointed out. “But the requirement that. We find the sites for the additional housing we need and have them approved before the end of the fiscal year has required our consideration of areas that otherwise we would have preferred not to build in as yet. He recalled there have been two smaller public housing areas that already have been approved by the District Commissioners and the planning commission. These are in the vicinity of Thirteenth Street and Kentucky Avenue S.E. and part of a block near the Naval Weapons Plant. Mr. Ring declared the cost of acquiring those sites, clearing them and putting housing on them tends to be rather high. "We are hoping to combine those high-cost sites with Fort Side, which would be relatively low in size cost, for the purpose of keeping our total costs down," he said. Construction costs are limited to $17,000 per unit, including land. Four youths were arrested early today after a fight outside an Arlington restaurant. Detective Capt. Dudley H. Rector said the fight began when the youths blocked a car containing three juveniles and dragged the driver from the car, knocked him down, and kicked him. Charged with assault and battery are Dennis Allen Yatteau, 18, of the 6900 block of Beryl Road, Alexandria; Richard Martin Shea, 18, and James Harold Scott, 20, both of Springfield, Va., and John Edward Feagan, 18, of the 1000 block of Randolph-Macon drive, Alexandria. The incident... Came out inside the Tops Drive-Inn at Glebe road and Arlington boulevard.

BLOSSOM BALL ARMY DRUMMER TAKES TUMBLE Although Miss Roberta Bretthauer became a near casualty from the excitement of being made 1960 Cherry Blossom Festival Queen, there was a real casualty behind the scenes at last night's Cherry Blossom Ball. While waiting off stage in the Sheraton-Park Hotel ballroom, an Army bandman fell off of a platform and suffered a possible broken nose and hand injury. He was Private James Goff, a drummer with the Army Band's Fife and Drum Corps, stationed at Fort Myer. After being given first aid at the scene by Red Cross volunteers, Miss Helen Messenger and Miss Emma Morgan, Pvt. Goff was taken to Walter Reed Army Hospital for further treatment. Schools Fund Cut Restored By Arlington The Arlington County Board today restored a $150,000 cut in bond funds sought for school construction. It thus agreed to submit to voters May 17 the full $1,750,000 bond issue originally requested by the school board. The additional $150,000 will permit building of multi-purpose rooms at Peyton Randolph and Woodlawn Elementary Schools. The board had deleted the sum in an economy move, but agreed to replace it following demands by more than 200 parents living near Peyton Randolph School. The remainder of the bond issue approved today will finance a large addition at A Drew Elementary School, two auxiliary gyms at Washington-Lee High School and multi-purpose rooms at John Marshall and Nellie Custis Elementary Schools. The school bond issue will be part of an over-all $7.5 million issue to pay for capital improvements in the county. Morse Asks Halt In Scrapping of Streetcars Senator Morse, Democrat of Oregon, last night called for a reappraisal of the congressional ordered conversion of the D.C. Transit System’s streetcars to buses. He said he had concluded that further conversion from streetcar to bus service should be halted now. The Public Utilities Commission should schedule hearings to determine which system offers the best transportation service to the city. On the basis of such hearings, Congress should decide the soundness of the initial decision written into the transit system’s franchise, in the light of experience. Conversion now is 51 percent complete. D.C. Transit President O. Roy Chalk agreed to the seven-year conversion program reluctantly. The time table was to be established by the P.U.C., under terms of the franchise. City regulators have urged Mr. Chalk to step up conversation. The commission exerted a kind of pressure on the transit president by making an adjustment in the means of figuring profits contingent on the progress of conversion. Senator Morse gave notice in his speech that he proposed to offer legislation next session aimed at assessing the conversion program in Congress before the end of the seven-year program in 1962.

County Heads Agree to Study Library Plea A delegation of library officials and Upper Marlboro residents yesterday talked over the Prince Georges County Commissioners into considering a supplemental appropriation for a new branch library. Although agreeing to take another look at the proposal, the county heads still stood by their action last week of chopping $215,869 from a requested library budget of $663,260. The county authorization was $75,000 more than approved last year, but still not enough to open proposed branches in Upper Marlboro and Bladensburg. $49,725 for Branch A branch at the county seat would require $49,725, according to Miss Elizabeth Hage, county director of libraries. This would include a $200 monthly rental, a librarian with two clerical helpers, 10,000 books, equipment, and pay for upkeep. Lansdale G. Sasscer, jr., a town resident and chairman of the legislative delegation, said two buildings are available for renting now but won’t be for long. The branch would be more than a town library because it would be used by residents coming to the courthouse from all parts of the county, he said. The town directly serves an area of 10 square miles, and is an educational center with four schools, he added. Town Funds Pledged Commissioner Jesse S. Baggett suggested the town make a donation, but Town Commissioner Edward V. Dorsey said any available municipal funds must go toward the town's $20,000 obligation to a flood control project. The local 55-cent tax rate will have to be raised even as things stand now. The town of 800 population is $1. The Prince Georges County Commissioners yesterday authorized the school board to seek $3 million from a State school bond issue to be sold in July. The board will use the money to complete its $20.9 million construction program started three years ago. Any balance will be set aside for a new building schedule to be announced next month. The incident that gave me an appreciation of the Bible by Maj. Gen. Reginald C. Harmon. The incident that gave me an appreciation of the Bible by Maj. Gen. Reginald C. Harmon. A few years ago, I had a speaking engagement in Newfoundland, that island washed by the cold Labrador Current. Thick fogs prevail on the Grand Banks to the south. Such a fog made landing at Argentia a necessity. The more hazardous journey which followed by car to the city of St. John’s reached my opinion that these English, Irish, and Scottish do descendants of fishermen must still be sturdy to withstand the rigors of their occupation along the island’s rocky shores. The harbor of St. John's is guarded by Signal Hill on one side and Southside Hill on the other. The passage between is known as "The Narrows." Many of the old and experienced sea pilots who guide the ships through this passage use as their guide Maj. Gen. Harmon the lighted cross on the cathedral which stands at the far end of the harbor. Somehow, the city’s name and the guidance of the cross reminded me of the gospel according to St. John when Thomas asks our Lord, “How can we know the way?” The Master answers him, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” During this ten-day season, perhaps we may learn a lesson from those veteran sea pilots who, by the cross, guide their ships through “The Narrows of St. John's.” Monday: Grover K. Walker served about one hour a week by a bookmobile. Commissioner Frank J. Lastner suggested a larger bookmobile be routed to the town. Mr. Baggett advised the library board to use $26,600 authorized several years ago for a branch in a Seat Pleasant municipal center which still has not been built. Library officials could not recall ever receiving the money. "Go back and check your books, it's there somewhere," said Mr. Baggett. Fairfax Flyer Killed in Crash Os Navy Plane NORFOLK, Va., April 9 'AP. —Two Navy flyers, one a Fairfax County man, were killed yesterday when their anti-submarine plane crashed in the sea while trying to land aboard a carrier. The two other crew men escaped injury. The victims were Comdr. Daniel R. Harris, 42, of Vienna, Va., executive officer of Air Antisubmarine Squadron 27, and Lt. Comdr. William E. Outten, 36, of Bayside, Va. The squadron is based in Norfolk. Their 5-2F tracker was approaching the carrier Valley Forge off the Virginia Capes for a single-engine emergency landing. The two enlisted men aboard were picked up by a helicopter immediately after the plane plunged into the water. They were identified as Aviation Electric Technician 3 c George Westlund and Aviation Metal Smith 3 c Fritz W. Schuppan, jr. A Navy spokesman said the plane went into a spin to the right as it approached the carrier and crashed nose first into the water. The nose of the craft was crushed upon impact. The pilots were never seen on the surface and presumably were killed on impact. Comdr. Harris' wife and son live at 315 Albrecht circle, Vienna, Va. His father, Warren C. Harris, lives at 9922 Georgia avenue, Silver Spring, Md.
