B—2 ¥ PARTY LIS DL TOFADEINCOUNTY Arlington Prepares for Pri- mary, With Voting Open to All. BY ANGUS GREEN, Staft Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va., June 8—The Democratic primary slate having been completed, Arlington County voters may now expect tq hear the heavy bombardment which em- THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, House Wrecked in Plane Crash battled candidates will turn on the ramparts of their foes. The vocal | artillery will resound through the | county, with the last echo not dying | until the general election in November. | 1t is doubtful if the primary is going to be strictly a party affair, for the Virginia law makes no provision for | voters declaring their party affiliation. | Any qualified voter, whatever his po- | litical faith, is entitled to participate | in the Democratic family fight. The assumption is, however, that voters in the primary will support the party nominee in the general election. ! Chance for Double Shot. But that is only an assumption. if past performances and present indi- cations amount to anything. Arling- ton County has not had a local pri- mary in many years, but in other primary fights the practice has been to express a choice in the primary and do the same thing all over again in the general election. ignoring the nominee 1if he is disliked As a matter of fact, there are some who will use the primary as a means | of taking two “cracks” at a candi- date. For instance, if John Doe is a ! candidate in the Democratic primary | and Richard Roe, a Republican, | doesn't like Doe. Roe will vote in the | primary against him and then cast another vote against him in the gen- eral election if Doe gets the nomina- tion. This situation is apparently develop- ing, now as it becomes more or less evident that a goodly number of Re- publicans are going to take part in the primary. Politically-minded per- sons claim that Republicans go into the primary and vote for the weakest candidate on the theory that he would be easier to defeat in the general elec- tion, Regularity Means Little. Advantages in this strategy, even though it fails, are claimed on th grounds that the winne: nation has been ‘s his weakness exposed by a stuff pri- mary fight.

Fight Due to Begin. These eventualities are two mon distant, and the immediate business at hand, in the candidates’ opinion, 15 to get a nomination. And to that end they are concentrating their ef- forts. The few meetings heretofore held were mainly used for “limbering up” exercises. The real fight could not start until “the whites of their eyes” could be seen. The expiration of filing time for the primary brought their opponents into full view and from now on the fight is out in the open. Ostensibly, the candidates in the primary are running individually and without any tie-up with other candi- dates. Virtually all have stated that they are tending strictly to their own | cempaigns and taking no part what- | soever in other fights. This probably | is true to a large extent, and it is all true in so far as the general public knows, but it has been said by per- sons well-informed about local poli- | tics that there has been some quiet, | undercover exchanges of support. | It is also true that no one is refus- | ing any support if it can be obtained without the definite promise of re- | ciprocation. No one conversant with | the political situation doubts that most of the candidates have their own choices for the other offices and will do what they can to help them, | even though in the final analysis the | help is limited to their own vote. The voters were dealt two surprises by the completion of the primary | slate. Whereas four years ago there was a mad scramble for the five places on the county board, with 51 candidates in the field, this year only nine have filed for the primary. Then | there is no fight for the nomination for trial justice, whereas four years ago there were four or five in the race for that post.

Russian Executed For Murdering 20 Women in Year “Peculiar Mental Twist” Blamed by Engineer for His Crimes. By the Associated Press. KHARKOFF. U. S. §. R, June 8— The women of the region rested easier today in the knowledge that Ivan S. Maleshoff, who slew 20 of their number in a year, had been executed. Maleshoff, a graduate engineer, was arrested while he was calmly tidying his clothing, blood-stained by his most recent crime. In admitting his multiple crimes, Maleshoff contended they were the result of a peculiar mental twist. The court held, however, that this perver- sion did not come under the classifica- tion of insanity, which would have saved his life. He was executed yes- terday. BRO.

By a 8taff Correspondent of The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md, June 8— After years of delay, the Washington | Sanitary Commission will begin clean- ing up the College Park dump Mon- day. In announcing the commission’s plan to send one of its maintenance crews to begin work at the dump, Rob- ert B. Morse, chief engineer of the commission, said the problem of se- lecting permanent dumps and draft- ing regulations governing them will be solved soon. Sites Inspected. The regulations are in the process of being framed, he said. and several proposed sites for permanent dumps have been inspected. Regardless of what location is recommended, public opposition from property owners in the neighborhood is anticipated, causing the commission to defer an announcement until all proposed places for permanent dumps have been thoroughly investigated Commission members themselves feel that the only proper solution to the problem is the erection of an meinerator, probably below Bladens- burg. near the proposed sewage disposal works. Members of the Legislature rejected this plan last Winter as too costly. however, and instead empow- ered the com sion to establish a maintain public dumps Most Serious Problem. Regarding the College Park situa- tion as the most serious in the county, Engineer Morse assigned his men there first. They will bury or burn everything that they can on the dump, but are still uncertain what disposal will be made of the old automobiles and tin cans Civic leaders and organizations have, for years, sought to have the dump cleared and abolished Engineer Morse says the commis- sion has kept a close watch on the dump situation since Arlington Coun- ty closed its dumps. but has seen no new activities in Prince Georges.
