Of taxpayer money. His brother

Another federal official, get

$4,000 a year, and sister at
$4,000.
Still another federal official re-

In her quiet breast,
As a tired child she holds him,
While he takes his rest;
Hollow pillows roaring,
Claimed for their own his love
While her spirit soaring,
Sought their child above;
When earth's cares released him
And his work was done,
Then his great heart brooks
For the mother and the son.

NEGRO VOTERS
FACE BAN IN
PRIMARY

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, July 3O.-PoSSibihty that the
Negro vote in Arlington county
numbering more than 500-may
be excluded from the Democratic
primary August 6, was strength
ened today when it was learned
the Attorney General Of Virginia,
Ak-am P. Staples, had refused to
rule on the issue.
Right Of the negro to partici-
pate in Democratic primaries in
Virginia was challenged following
a recent ruling by the United
States Supreme Court which de-
clared colored residents did not
have the right to participate in
primaries in Texas.
Laws Nearly Alike
Those raising the issue in Vir-
ginia point out the two States
have laws almost parallel in this
respect and that the Supreme
Courts decision will stand for Vir-
ginia as well as Texas.
Replying to an inquiry from an
officer Of the Democratic Club Of
Arlington County, Attorney Gen
eral Staples said he did not feel
his office had the authority to
give an opinion in view Of two
previous rulings made in the State
of Virginia.
One of the two Virginia rulings,
both of which upheld the Negroes
right to vote in the primaries,
was made by Mr.. Staples prede-
cessor, the late Col. John r.
Saunders. The other was handed
down by Judge c. Vernon Sprat-
ley, of the Eleventh circuit. Both,
however, were prior to the United
States Supreme Courts ruling.
Change Held Possible
Possibility that the Supreme
Courts decision might lead the
Virginia courts to a different
conclusion was admitted in Mr..
Staples letter.
Party plans and bylaws of the
Democratic organization of Vir-
ginia, as adopted by the State
convention in Richmond, do not
make provision for the Negro
vote, and many Democrats here
believe that the Negro has no
right to participate in any Demo
cratic primary in the State Of
Virginia.
Executive officers Of the local
Democratic party have requested
q ruling on the issue from the
State central committee of the
Democratic party. While their
request has been acknowledged.
no ruling has yet been received.
