Conference Backs
Repeal Of Poll Tax

Richmond Va. ILNS). - \ new
front in the fight against the poll tax
as prerequisite to voting WAS opened
at a conference of NirginianS. held here
under the direction of the Virginia

ize wide support for the poll tax re-
peal bill introduced in the current SeS-
sion of the General Assembly by State
Senator Vivian l.. Page of Norfolk.

Gus organizations, the League of We
men Voters, the Republican party and
various Democratic groups as well as
the Virginia Electoral Reform League
Estate affiliate of the Southern Elec-
toral Reform Lcague).
First attention was given To the Page
bill in the State Legislature and plans
were made for large attendance when
public hearings are held.
Looking beyond the Legislative ses-
sion and acknowledging the possibility
of defeat of the Page bill, the confer
encc approved drastic action in the
Federal courts if necessary to bring
about a restoration of democratic
processes in Virginia and seven other
Southern states wherein two-thirdS or
more of the adult population is pre-
vented from voting by means of the
poll tax, which is opposed by organ
iled labor.
After hearing IN analysis of various
pertinent sections and amendments of
the Federal constitution, the delegates
voted unanimously to approve the in
Stitution of legal proceedings in the
event that the Legislature fails TO act.
