Tawes, Almond
Meet on Pact
The Governors of Maryland
and Virginia met in Washing
ton today in an attempt to
speed ratification of a compact
governing the Potomac River.
Gov. Almond of Virginia and
Gov. Tawes of Maryland were
in good spirits as they got to
gether at the Mayflower Hotel
this morning. Each was ac
companied by his own staff of
legal advisers and representa
tives of his own State s com
mission which earlier had ar
rived at an agreement on Poto
mac fishing rights.
The Legislatures of both
States already have ratified
the agreement, but Maryland
watermen have held up its ef
fective date by forcing a refer
endum in the Free State. Ap
proval of Maryland voters will
be sought in the 1960 general
election, one year from now.
The compact later will have
to be ratified by Congress.
“Everything is progressing
beautifully,” the Virginia Gov
ernor said, with his arm around
the shoulders of Gov Tawes.

On Kansas City Angle
\ 0
The Fairfax County Supervisors will reach into Kansas
City In their investigation of a conflict of Interest issue raised
against the chairman of the county hospital commission.
The supervisors will ask I. M. Lefton of the Municipal
Service Co. of Kansas City to testify November 18 in their
continuing investigation.
Company representatives came to Fairfax County two
years ago in an effort to set
up an integrated county water
system on a private financial
basis. Since then the county

lem.
The supervisors decided yes
terday to call Mr. Lefton into

tioning, Mr. Wilkins said he

the company officials. Mr. Wil
kins did remember meeting
them at National Airport, tak
ing them to a hotel and talk
ing with them there.

meeting was to discuss “the
type of agreement the Board
of Supervisors might be desir
ous of accepting.” He did this
purely as a private citizen in
terested in the welfare of the
county, he said.
Mr. Wilkins also was asked
about the role of C. P; St. Clair,

meeting because he knew the
persons involved.

Bus Purchases Split
The meeting resulted in a
, compromise, with bids on the
buses split between the com
! pany represented by Mr. Wil
' kins and another firm. Mr.
Wilkins said he had saved the
county $7 a bus through the
meeting. The county bought
15 buses.
In the course of yesterday’s
session, Supervisor R. P. Oven

conflict of interest resolution of
1956, which prohibits any
member of the Board of Super
visors or member of their im
mediate family from being in
volved in any way in a contract
with the county.
Mr. Ovenshine asked Mr.

anything to do in the future

organization or agency” deal
ing with Fairfax County. Mr.
Wilkins said: “Positively no.”

Car Dealer
Wins Bid to
Bar Evidence
A Washington used ear dealer
accused by the FBI of selling
cars with altered dealers' labels
today won a motion to suppress
the labels In question as evi
dence on the ground that they
had been obtained illegally.
Maurice A. (Mike) Goracoff,
47, who operates Pat Parker,
Inc., at Third and K streets
N.W., is specifically charged
with violating the Automobile
Information Disclosure Act.
The FBI entered his lot with
a search warrant on July 15
and seised three labels from
1959 Cadillacs. The FBI al
leged that the name of the
dealer from whom Mr. Gora
coll purchased the cars as well
as their point of origin had
been defaced.
But Myron G. Ehrlich, de
fense attorney, argued that the
search warrant was Invalid be
cause it did not specify the en
forcement officers empowered
to use it.
Judge Edward Beard agreed.
He said the search warrant,
through some oversight, could
be used by anyone who found
it.
“I think it is deficient,” Judge
Begrd ruled. “I am going to
quash it and suppress the evi
dence obtained thereby.”
The'case against Mr. Gora
coff and Pat Parker, Inc., is to
be tried next Tuesday.

G. O. P. Loses 2 Seats
In Virginia Assembly
By ALEX R. PRESTON
Star Staß Writer
The practically inflnltesmal
strength of Republicans in the
last Virginia General Assembly
has been reduced even more,
a compilation of late returns
from Tuesday’s election showed
today.
Their total strength in the
140-member Legislature was
cut from eight to six. on the
basis of late returns from
Southwest Virginia counties
compiled by the Associated
Press.
In the 40-member State Sen
ate, Republican strength dwin
dled from three to two—with
the remaining seats held by
1 Democrats.
Democrat J. Hubert Wheeler
overcame a Republican lead in
life Lee-Scott County Senate
district and won over Glen M.
Williams by a vote of 9,793 to
9,113 with all but one of the
47 precincts reported. Demo-
Clubs Are Formed
For Boys and Girls
A Cardinal Club for boys in
the 4tb. sth and 6th grades
has been organized at the Fair
fax County - Falls Church
YMCA with. Robert Olive of
Annandale as president.
The club meets at the YMCA
Family Center on Route 236.
An Aoventure Club lor girls
in the three grades also has
been formed at the Y.” Hedy
Massey is president.
A Junior Tri-Hi-Y Club has
been organized with Susan
Afamson, Annandale as presi
dent. The club meets at 2 p.m.
Saturdays at the Family Cen
ter.
crat Wheeler will replace Sen
ator Roy Wolfe, Republican,
who is retiring.
In the House of Delegates the
G. O. P. now has onlv tnmm
seats. Dr. W. H. Perry, in
cumbent Republican from Scott
was defeated by Democrat
James B. Fugate, 4,956 to 4,574.
A second reversal by Dem
ocrats was scored in Bmythe
County when they captured
the seat being vacated by
Delegate W. Ray Rouse, Re
publican. Returns from that
county showed Democrat R.
; Crockett Gwyn, Jr., with 3.487
votes, to be the winner over
Charles L. Harrington, Repub
lican. with 3,179.
In one race, however, a Re
publican succeeded in replac
ing a Democrat. That was in
Shenandoah County, where
former Court Clerk W. Howard
. Elllfrits defeated Democratic
| Delegate W. O. Riley, 3,179 to
2.556 Mr. Riley was named
in a special election last sum
mer to the seat left vacant by
the death of Delegate V. C.
Shaffer, Republican.
A more significant result,
however, came in the 21st
senatorial district for the seat
of Republican National Com
mitteeman Ted Dalton who
gave up his Senate seat to be
come a Federal Judge. James
C. Turk, Judge Dalton’s for
mer law partner and a Repub
lican, was a 9.667-to-8.492 win
ner over Democrat John B.
Spiers.
