The campaign in nearby Maryland
and Virginia today wound up with
announcement of several rallies, a
campaign statement and last-minute
efforts to explain a double system
of balloting in the Fairfax County,
Va, election.
The statement, issued by Mrs Mar
gerye w. Prytherch, Arlington
County headquarters chairman, in
behalf of Col. Henry B. Goedloe of
Charlottesville. Republican candi-
date for Representative from the
9Th Virginia district, was to correct
rumors which, she said, had been
circulated recently that Mr.. Goodloe
is the Communist candidate on the
ballot and is running on the Com
munist ticket.
Since the Virginia ballot does not
designate the candidates party" she
said, II wish to correct this false
impression before the people vote.
His overseas record in France and
his present position as an officer in
the Organized Reserve Corps surely
prove his AmericaniSm. His ability
as a lawyer and soldier and his ex-
perience in Virginia surely entities
him to fair consideration by our vot-
ers in this State"

Two Types of Ballots.
Fairfax County voters will have
the unusual experience of casting
two separate types of ballots in the
general election and referendum on
county government tomorrow.
The ballot to be used in the gen.
eral election, on which voters will
express stheir choice for President,
United States Senator and member
of the House of Representatives, will
follow the new form, with voters
placing a check in box before the
names of the candidates for whom
they wish to vote.
However, the ballot to be used in
the referendum on proposed
change in the form of county gov
ernment will follow the old method
of voting used in Virginia before
the General Assembly provided the
present form, and is expected to be
confusing.
The latter ballot will carry the
question, Shall the county adopt
the county executive form?" Below
it will be the words "for" and
against" and voters will have to
draw a line through one or the
other of the words.
Sample Ballots Distributed.
