BLACKSBURG. Va. Aug. 1.-Pre-
vention of imitation would greatly
mitigate the disruptive effects of the
European war in this country, Dr.
Eric Englund, Washington econ
omist, told the closing session of
Virginia Techs Institute Of Rural
Affairs last night.
TT appears that we have not yet
really experienced any alarming in
crease in prices" said DR.. Englund,
assistant chief of the Bureau Of
Agricultural Economics, adding,
however, that if the war should last
long. the possibility OF imitation
should become greater"
Price Fixing Opposed.
Hector Lazo, representing the Co.
operative Food Industries. expressed
vigorous opposition to stringent reg
ulation of the retail food business by
the Government in his address to
the institute, declaring that retail
grocers would face bankruptcy If
farm prices were fixed at parity"
with 1926, and retail prices were
frozen at 20 per cent less than 1926
prices.
DR.. John r. Hutcheson, agricul-

OfficioI Reminds
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va. Aug. THE
campaign for the Democratic nom
ination for Governor today moved
toward its conclusion in Virginia,
with the question of United States
Senator Byrd's sponsorship still up
permost in the arguments OF Sen
ator HunSdon Cary, while Colgate
w. Darden, jr., continued TO play
his campaign cards relatively close
to his vest. ....'.
The third candidate in the race,
Senator Vivian L. Page of Norfolk,
maintained meanwhile his strength
in-many-speeches campaign, stump
ing from a red, white and blue
sound-truck:
Willkie Democrats May Vote.
Meanwhile Attorney General A. P.
Staples reminded voters that DEM
ocrats who balloted for Wendell
Willkie last November may par
ticipate in a perfectly legal manner
in Tuesdays primaries The at
torney generals reminder was a
reiteration Of a ruling made in 1929
by John r. Saunders, then attorney
general, who decided the status of
Democrats who bolted the party
to vote for Herbert Hoover in 1928.
Last night at Bristol, where both
Mr.. Cary and Mr. Darden wound
up tours of the State, Mr.. Cary
charged in radio address that Mr..
Darden not only had failed to pre-
sent a written platform for the
electorste's consideration, but was
a candidate whose politics are die
tated by his master"
Quoting the Portsmouth Star,
whose publisher, Norman r. HAM
ilton, was unseated in Congress by
Mr.. Darden. Mr.. Cary made this
reference to the issue of the poll tax
as a prerequisite to voting in Vir-
ginia:
"'And Mr.. Darden, too, knows how
the people are coming to feel about
poll tax reform. For the story goes,
and with verification quite complete,
that Candidate Darden once spoke
out-amost too loudly-on this
point; this when in attendance
upon significant gathering in
Senator Byrd's Washington ONCE in
connection with the green light for
the subernatorial nomination.
"Mr. Darden at that time dis
cussing the prospective program for
a winning 194l campaign, is de-
scribed as having declared that such
a program would have to contain
100 per cent Endorsement of Presi-
den. Roosevelt and liberal poll tax
reform, when suddenly came from
Senator Byrd this crisp assertion:
"'If there is to be any proposal
OF poll tax reform in this campaign,
then count me out"
Darden Denies Story.
Mr.. Cary added that Mr.. Darden
was in favor of repeal of the poll
tax requirement for voting "but he
could not adopt this progressive
policy because Senator Byrd would
not stand for it."
Mr.. Darden, interviewed at his
hotel, where he and a number of
his supporters held a final get to-
gether," denied the account fatty.
Il do not doubt Senator Cary's
sincerity in quoting the newspaper, ("
he said, but the whole story is
without foundation in fact and is
wholly untrue. Such a meeting
never took place"
Mr.. Darden and Mr.. Cary were
stopping at the same hotel and
chatted affably for . while about is

Salon Prints Are Shown

Photographs From American
Annual Are at National MI
scum.
The section of photography in
the Arts and Industries Building OF
the National Museum has, during
February, an exhibition of Ameri-
can salon prints. the original photo
graphs which are reproduced in the
American Annual of Photography
for 1941. One hundred photographs
are on view. selected from nearly
1000 submitted. Frank R. Fraprie,
editor. said that, despite the war
and the fact that no invitations to
contribute we're sent to belligerent
countries, the large number of
prints from abroad was a surprise.
and many outstanding foreign pic
torial photographer sent work.
A partial list of countries from
which the photographs came will
give some idea Of its international
character: the United States (many
States, England. Scotland, Bel
GUM. India, New Zealand, Lithuania,
Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
Practically every type of subject
matter one can recall in the field
of pictorial photography is repre-
sented-young women, both cos
TUNED and nude. rugged, charac-
terful men and picturesque or
exotic types of heads; babies and
children, still life, industrial SUBJ
jects, Landscapes and marines, archi-
lecture. animals and birds.
Patience Is Rewarded.
One of the most remarkable pic
lures in the show is "As the Earth
Turns" by Joseph Coburn Smith,
a photograph made for a Christmas
card. 1t shows the spire of a col
lege chapel, silhouetted against a
sky of adjacent circles, which every
lay beholder will be convinced was
manufactured. But, according to
Mr.. Fraprie, this abstract effect was
obtained by night-long exposure
which recorded the stars rotating
around the earth's axis, and it was
accomplished during a clear night
in the dust-free atmosphere of a
Maine town away from the coast
The photographers comments on
their works, as reported by Mr..
Fraprie, are very interesting and
frequently amusing. Ralph E. Day
revealed that his portrait of cat,
