Dawson May
Be Barred From.
House Primary
Petition Questioned;
Plans to Run in
Foil as Independent

Emmett C. Dawson, former Mayor
of alexandria, may not succeed in
getting his name placed before the
voters as a Democratic candidate
for the House of Representatives
from the 9th district of Virginia at
the State primaries August 4, it was
learned today.
The Democratic Congressional
Committee is meeting early this
afternoon at the Office of its chair
man, Gardner l.. Boothe of Alex
andria, to consider the petition Mr..
Dawson filed with his declaration
of candidacy on May 4. Unless the
committee is satisfied that $50 of
the names on the petition are those
of certified voters, Mr.. Davison'S
name will not be placed on the
Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Davisons petition contained
359 names, it was reported. The
former Alexandria Mayor said this
morning, however, that he had
learned that all but 249 of these have
been disqualified.
Given Additional Week.
He had been given week, it was
reported, to obtain additional sign
ers or to prove that some of those
disqualified were in reality qualified
to vote
The former Alexandria Mayor
said, however, that he will be a
candidate for the House whether or
not his name is placed before the
voters at the primaries.
That's their business, not mine"
Mr. Dawson said of the report that
he had been asked to furnish addi-
tional proof of the qualifications
of the signers of his petition. THE
people who signed that petition
certified that they were qualified
voters.
I'm very little concerned about
what they do, however" the candi-
date added. He will run as an in
dependent in November, even if not
permitted to enter the race for the
Democratic nomination, he stated.
Smith Refuses Comment.
Mr.. Boothe could not be reached
for comment before today's meeting,
but it was learned that the attitude
of the committee is that the law is
clear and mus be observed.
Every benefit of doubt was given
Mr.. Dawson. it was said, in such
cases as the possibility of misspelling
of name by a stenographer in
transcription of the original petit
ton. Still it had been determined
that only 249 of those whose names
were submitted had paid their peA
tax. '2s
Representative Smith. incumbent,
would not comment further than to
say he had filed his declaration of
candidacy and petition as required
by law.

Home Insulation
Sound Economy

Proper insulation should be con-
sidered as one item OF the many
which go into the making OF a
house that not only pays for itself.
but continues TO pay dividends dur
ing the life of the structure.
II has been estimated by the
National Bureau of Standards that
the average frame house can be
heated with 40 per cent less fuel
when 1t has insulated walls and
roof.
II storm sash and weatherstrip-
ping are added the savings can be
as much as so per cent For ex-
ample, II the fuel bill on the un-
insulated house amounts to 500 a
year, 1t could be cut to $40 II the
house were properly insulated.
Assuming then that the cost OF
insulation would be $i20 10 install.
1t could be paid for out of the saw
ings on the fuel bill in three years,
and the owner would be receiving
dividends in the form of lowered
fuel bills for as long as he owned
the house.
Today the need for conserving
fuel Is doubly important. And the
easiest and surest way TO cut down
on fuel consumption at a minimum
sacrifice Of personal comfort Is by
insulating the home.
Another very important consid-
GRAFTON is that when offered for sale
an insulated house almost inva-
riably brings higher price than
one not insulated. Rather than
being a luxury, insulation is sc-
tually an economy.

need not necessarily be paid for at
once. Loans TO finance this type
of home repair may be obtained on
FHA's insured loan plan. Any
