Be QUASHED
Declares Charges Too Vague
to Warrant Contest; Three
Counties Minus Ballots

Counsel for Senator John Bank
head, Of Alabama, today asked the
Senate committee on privileges
and elections to dismiss the con-
test filed against Bankhead by
former Senator Thomas j. Heflin.
Bankhead had formerly filed a
similar plea with the committee,
but his attorneys appeared today
before the subcommittee hearing
the contest and presented oral ar
guments in favor of their position.
Robert Evins, Of counsel for
Bankhead, told the committee
that charges made by HefIin are
entirely too vague to warrant the
contest. He said HefIln has failed
to specify any particular acts
which might Justify the unSeating
Of Bankhead.
Agents for the committee, who
have been in Alabama collecting
the ballots cast in the election,
reported today that the ballots
in a third county have been de-
Stroyed. The agents said that
they could find no ballots. in
Bibb county. Previously ballots
in Houston and Henry counties
had been reported destroyed.
In MarengO county, the agents
reported, they found only one
ballot box, ballots in the other
polling places being either in
envelopes or loose.
