S, TAXPAYER CHARGES BUYING OF VOTES Pladensburg Ballots Sold for $5, According to W. P. Magruder. Last-minute developments came thick and fast to complicate the political sit- uation in Prince Georges nty over the week end. ‘The outstanding developments were: 1. Emphasis of the Republican plat- form attacks on the Washington Sub- urban Sanitary Commission through a formal statement by the Republican Btate Central Committee. 2. Charges by W. P. Magruder, active ‘worker of the Taxpayers' Association, that votes are being bought for $5 each in Bladensburg district, and announce- ment that he would give $100 reward for information leading to the dis- closure of such activities. 3. The appearance of sevéral “mys- tery” ballots and final rallies of both parties. The Republican statement regarding the Sanitary Commission, issued by Samuel G. Coale, chairman of the State Central Committee, was in be- lated answer to a statement of T. Howard Duckett, chairman of the com- mission, published in The Sunday Star of October 12 in reply to the G. O. P. county platform. The committee declares its platform ks contain no promise of “some- g for nothing,” but its observation shows that the present chairman and one of his associates have held mem- berships during the entire life of the commission, not for nothing. but for a sum that totals more than $25,000 each. “We also find,” the statement says, #that the original commission has smong its members a gentleman whose tation was of the very highest, but happened to be a Republican. Ac- cordingly the present appointive power found it necessary to refuse reappoint- ment in his case in order to create a position for a follower of the House of Lee.” G. 0. P. Claims. The statement, which epitomizes the icharges that have been hurled from the platform at all Republican rallies, claims Mr. Duckett made no denial of the platform declaration that improper acts of employes of the Sanitary Com- mission in the Washington office can- Mot be prosecuted in Maryland. “No person has ever demanded imme- @iate construction of a sewer for the entire Anacostia basin, but it has been suggested that in making sanitary im- provements Montgomery County re- ceives first consideration,” the state- ment asserts. It is also charged that *it is reasonable to suppose some means could have been found to firance” the extension of the Northwest Branch sewer last Summer in view of the plans of the commission to build it during the Winter months “when bad weather ‘will surely add to the cost.” “Can it be possible the delay has been stimulated by the approach of an elec- tion?” the committee asks. “Neither the tform nor any individual questions integrity or ability of any member of the Sanitary or Park Commissions. It is merely asserted that in all fairness people who pay the cost should bave a voice in the management,” the statement concludes. One Point Answered. ‘The implication that employes of the ‘Washington office might embezzle funds from the Sanitary Commission was the only statement that Mr. Duckett felt deserved an answer this morning. “The great bulk of the money for our commission is collected by the oounty treasurers and banked in Mary- land.” he pointed out. received in the Wi n - office are simply stray water bills, amounting to less than $15,000 a month. All officials and employes of the Washington office are under substantial bonds. After 12 years’ operation we have handled about $12,000,000 and no money has been missed yet.” ‘The charges of delayed construction have been repeatedly answered in an- nouncements of the commission and u;l r;pn;}: th: chairman recalled. .

SILVER SPRING, Md.,, November 3. —A Democratic victory tomorrow in Montgomery County by a majority of 3,000 votes was forecast today by Maj. E. Brooke Lee, administration leader and chairman of the State Democratic Campaign Advisory Committee. Maj. Lee selected David J. Lewis, candidate for the House of Representa- tives from the sixth Maryland congres- sional district, to lead the Demoeratic ticket in Montgomery County. It is conceded generally that Lewis will not be opposed by the anti-organization or Progressive faction of the Democratic party in the general election. He was the almost unanjmous choice of the party in the primary September 8. Text of Statement. Maj. Lee's statement follows: “Existing county-wide public senti- ment seems more certainly to approve the continuation of the county adminis- tration than in any general election campaign in the past. “The taxpayers generally fear - the governmental chaos that would follow the election of the present opposition ticket with its support from groups of voters who differ so widely. The people of Montgomery County are convinced that the county now enjoys the best government of any suburban section that they know about. They will not risk a change. “I believe that the Gtate and county administration candidates’ will carry suburban Montgomery County by more than 2,000 majority and will carry the northern county by ‘more than 1,000. The average county sdministration ma- jority will be more than 3,000 votes. Kensington and possibly Rockville look like our only bad dirtricts.

A court official, however, found the law had been amended, so appeals were withdrawn and fines which is to be decided at the regular election tomorrow, was removed today, when he issued a statement putting himself on record as unequivocally in favor of the county manager plan, with eléction of members of the county board at large. Senator Ball sponsored in the State Senate the enabling act under which the question will be decided at the polls tomorrow, but it was felt by many that he did so at the insistence of civic leaders among his constituency and not because he thought a change of govern- ment was desirable. Manager Form Not an Experiment. ‘The question of a change in form of county government, Senator Ball states, should be studled entirely separate and apart from the personalities of the offi- cials, either present or prospective, and | its adoption should not be considered as | a criticism of the official actions of any one. He declares that the county manager form, with the council elected at large, offers the best features of the most ap- proved modern forms of municipal gov- ernment. It is not an experiment, he states, but has been tried with succes: by the most progressive cities of Virginia. “After a careful examination of muni- cipal government,” Senator Ball con- tinued, “and eight years’ experience as a county official I unhesitatingly com- mend this form for the county of Ar- lington. We need to think and act as a county unit. We have been doin this in school matters since 1923, an certainly no one can say that this has not been the most progressive school era in Virginia. By abolishing the old magisterial districts we can remove the last vestige of sectionalism in our public affairs, eliminute district funds and dis- trict jealousies and contentions, and work solely for the benefit of the entire county. All Have Voice in Board. “The governing board elected at large will give to each voter the right to a| voice in the election of those who con- trol his affairs. It does not mean that the thickly settled communities shall elect all of the representatives, but it does mean that residents of such com- munities shall not be denied the right to vote for representatives to attend to their business. It will eliminate the present situation where the residents of ‘Washington and Jefferson districts, hav- ing a combined population of less than one-half that of Arlington district, | nevertheless, elect two out of three members of the board of supervisors and can at any time control the board sigainst the wishes of the majority of the electorate of the county. “Qur experlence has shown that offi- cers elected at large are often chosen from the thinly settled portions of the county. Two out of the last three com- monwealth’s attorneys have been elected from sections far removed from the center of population. The same holds | true of the sheriff's office. We have | never had a treasurer from the heart of a thickly settled section. From our | own local history any student will see | that there is nothing in the argument that the smaller communities will be | overlooked. My own feeling is that | it is the best way to guarantee them | proper representation.

November 3.— Final efforts on the part of opponents to prevent a change in the type of county government included a state- ment from the Voters' Service Club at- tacking the assertion of the proponents that the proposed change is being ad- vocated by the “county leaders.” Such an assertion, the statement says, is based upon the personal as- sumption of the individuals in charge of the campaign for adoption of the change that they are “leaders” when, as a matter of fact, the question of leadership is decided by the people themselves and usually at the polls. Many Office Holders Oppose. ‘There are many office holders, it is pointed out, who do not favor the change, and the Voters' Service Club believes that these might better be called county leaders, since they were elected by the people to the offices which they hold. In support of this contention, they declare that the only office hoiders who have come out in active support of the change are State Senator Frark L. Ball and Delegate Hugh Reid, the two mem- bers of the General Assembly wh> vote on the matter. None of the hold- ers of county offices have given their support openly to the proposed change, they say. Insist Cost Will Increase. Knows How to Grow Hair E IS a trained Thomas’ scalp specialist.

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., November 3. Montgomery County will go to the polls tomorrow to decide whether it will con- | tinue in power the organization which | has been identified with the county gov- ernment for 11 years or turn the af- fairs of the county over to the Repub- lican candidates. Democratic and Republican leaders predict success for their tickets and quote figures to substantiate their contentions. Maj. E. Brooke Lee, ministration leader, places the probable Democratic majority at 3,000 votes, while Paul Sleman, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee in Montgomery County, thinks his party will be victorious by 1,500 votes. See Close Election. Political observers not intimately connected with either party say the election will be close. As proof of this they point to the vote in previous years. Since the present Democratic organiza- tion gained control of the county, in 1919, the majorities by whick, its didates have been elected to office been small. In 1919 there was a split ticket, with ‘Willis B. Burdette and Thomas L. Daw- son, both Republicans, being elected State Senator and States attorney, re- spectively. The next election, in 1921, again saw a split ticket, but with the Republicans losing ground. In that year Hiram Harvey, a Republican, was chosen county commissioner, with his running mates on the Republican ticket losing by_from 140 to 500 votes. In 1923 there was a clean sweep for the Democrats, who gained every county office by an average majority of 800 votes. Three years later there was a_ repetition of the 1923 election, with the same approximate majority. G. 0. P. Won Two Years Ago. ‘The Republicans were victorious in the Fr:sldemml fight two years ago by almost 2,500 votes. This election, however, is not being taken as in- dicative of the relative strength of the two parties in a county or State cam- paign. This year finds each party claiming a split in the other’s forces. Demo- crats say 40 per cent of the Repub- lican vote in suburban Montgomery County will go for the Democratic candidates. Republican leaders admit that there will be some defection, but say it will be slight. Republicans point to the bitterness of the recent Democratic primary and argue_that wounds inflicted at that time have not healed and will result in between 2,000 and 3,000 progressive Democrats voting Republican, County administration leaders counter with the ctatement that the great majority of the progressives will be swayed by party loyalty and vote the Democratic ticket. It is admitted, however, that many progressive leaders will align themselves at the polis with the Re- publicans. e |COL. B. D.

Vahan Cardashian, a lawyer, of New York today lost his appeal to the District Court of Appeals from a de- cision of the District Supreme Court sustaining the action of United States Marshal Edgar C. Snyder, United States Attorney Leo A. Rover and At- torney General Willilam D. Mitchell in refusing to permit the marshal to serve the Turkish Ambassador with a sum- mons im & sul against the government of the repwblic of Turkey for $20,000. Cardashian claimed the money was due him for services rendered to Turkey. Embassy Is Turkish Property. At the instance of the Attorney Gen- eral, Rover adviced Snyder that he should not attempt to make service on the Ambassador, on the theory that Turkey had not consented to be sued the embassy was Turkish property. “The question presented,” says Jus- tice Charles H. Robb, who rendered the opinion of the appellate tribunal, “is whether an action at law may be main- talned in the courts of the United States by a citizen of this country against a forelgn government. It is settled law that a sovereignty may not be sued without its consent, and noth- ing in the elaborate and interesting | brief of counsel for the appellant war- | ran{s a departure from the rule.” | No Treaty of Consent Exists. Justice Robb points out that the court takes judicial notice of the fact that by no treaty has the government of Turkey consented to be sued in the courts of the United States, and also of the fact that the United States has recognized the present government of Turkey and | received its duly accredited Ambassa. dor, upon whom service has been/ sought. The recognition of Turkey and of its Ambassador, being political, says | the court, and within the constitutional powers of the Executive, may not be challenged. Assistant United States Attorney Neil Burkinshaw represented the officials. SEES PROSPERITY SOON Tire Manufacturer Declares Two | Years Will Erase Panic Memory.

Harrell, Ordnance Department State staff, cap- tain of the George Washington Uni- versity rifle team, yesterday won the expert’s match, the chief event on the second day's program of the annual rifle competitions conducted by the District of Columbia National Guard at Camp Simms, Congress Heights. Staff Sergt. Alex J. Thill of the same department took the silver medal with a score of 238x250, which tied and out- ranked that of First Lieut. Thaddeus A. Riley, Company E, 121st Engineers, bronze medal winner. In the marksman’s match, which was open to those who did not fire record practice for the first time this year, Pvi. Edward A. Finlayson and Pvt. Gilbert L. Johnson, both mem- bers of the Company E championship team, captured gold and silver medals with scores of 232 and 228, respectively. ‘The bronze badge was awarded Sergt. Caesar A. Carballo, Headquarters and Service Company, 121st Engineers, with a 225 tally. Novice Match Winners, Scoring 229x250, Corpl. Walter E. Jessup, Company A, 121st Engineers, copped the gold medal offered in the Novice match which was open to those who fired in 1930 their first record practice under military supervision. Pvt. Milton Kurland, Company E, same regiment, former indoor star of Cen- tral High School, shot the silver medal score of 226 while Sergt. Colvin Parker, Company A, totaled 223 for the bronze medal. Some idea of the quality of Sergt. Harrell's markmanship may be galoed from the fact that out of the 50 s 10ts comprising the regular “D” qualifica- tion course Harrell dropped only 1 out of the bull's-eye in 10 shots prone, 1 in 10 shots sitting and kneeling and 3 in 10 shots standing. His two rapid- fire “strings” were ‘“possibles.” Tests Made With Shotgun. During the noon intermission the rifle experts tested their prowess with the shotgun by participating in the turkey shoot conducted by Lieut. Col. G. Nevitt, adjutant generat, 20th Divi- sion. Eight turkeys were carried home by the following competitors, who were lucky enough to have an individual shotgun pellet strike nearest a cross- mark on a card 25 yards distant: Capt.
