Woodrum Wants State
To Eliminate Poll Tax
As Vote Prerequisite
Warns Municipal League
Against Encouraging
Centralized Authority
BY the Associated Press.


ROANOKE, Va, Sept. 26.-Elim-
ination of the poll tax as a pre-
requisite to voting is one of two
responsibilities that should be
shouldered by State and local gov
ernment. Representative Woodrum
Democrat, of Virginia said last
night.
The other responsibility, he said
IN addressing the League of Vir-
ginia Municipalities, now in annual
session here, is the support of edu-
cation.
The sixth district representative
said that local government today
stands at the crossroads-one direc-
ton will lead us to Washington with
outstretched HANDS and the other
road is back from Washington to our
States and localities with our rights
and privileges, traditions and GUS
TOMS"
He said that "if we elect to travel
the first road, in one hand We hold
our hat-outstretched for handouts
and in the other hand, in pay
ment of these so-called contribu-
tions we present to this Federal,
centralized authority increasing con-
troll and power over our lives as in
dividual citizens.
Easy Road Is Dangerous.
IF we elect to take the second
not so easy but more secure way
we head away from Washington
This is the road that leads to sta
bility, to domestic tranquility ano
to security. 1t is by travelling this
road and by assuming the duties and
responsibilities that come to local
government that we preserve on the
home front the principles for which
our boys fight on the battle 'front.'
Discussing the State poll tax,
Woodrum said that while he does
not advocate abolition of the tax, it
should be removed as a prerequisite
to voting.
Il do not wish to bring up the
poll tax matter for the purpose of
being disagreeable, but I mention it
again simply because it is apropos
of this discussion, because I regard
immediate. positive action by the
State of Virginia as fundamental
and vital. :.
An Antiquated Law.
"The provision is antiquated. 1t
is in disrepute. Only eight States
hold on to it and an overwhelming
majority of the American people
have determined that it shall be
done away with. 1t has been sug-
gested that we need the revenue for
the support of the schools. That is
quite true and no one has suggested
a repeal of the tax. The tax should
be levied and collected, but not as
a prerequisite to voting"
Mr.. Woodrum said he believed that
with action expected on the elm
ination of poll taxes that the State
OF Virginia should repeal it and not
force the Federal Government to
take action that will "set a most
dangerous precedent"

Farm Bureau Head Sees
Dark Future for Exports
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-The out
look for agricultural exports after
the war is not encouraging, says
Edward A. O'Neal, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
and the Nations farmers undoubt-
edly will be plagued with sur
pluses."
Addressing the federation's State
presidents and secretaries yester-
day, Mr.. ONeal and Vice President
Earl Smith declared "surpluses will
be our main problem. Nobody
knows the degree of adjustment of
production that will be needed"
MIR. O'Neal said industrialists are
planning on large exports of ma
chinery and equipment and expect
to take foreign farm produce in re-
turn. This, he said, would result in
Americas importing more agricul-
tural products than it exported.

New a Gas Books
In Use November 9
To Cut Counterfeifs
All Coupons Continue
Good for 3 Gallons;
Ais to Be Discarded

New gasoline ration books for "A"
motorists are coming out three
months early-on November o-and
the A-l2 coupons which would have
been good on that date will be in.
the Once Of Price Admin.
istration has announced. The action
was taken to place all motorists in
the country on a uniform basis, Of.
ficials explained.
Thus all motorists will begin using
A-l3 coupons in the new books on
November 8. ALL coupons in the
present books continue good for 3
gallons each through midnight Mo-
vember 8.
The action comes as q blow to
counterfeiters Of A-l2 coupons. OPA
omcials said yesterday that large
numbers Of A-12s are being counter.
feited. The new coupons will be
even harder to reproduce, they said.
Details Of New Plan.
OPA outlined details of the new
coupon plan as follows:
Motorists on the East Coast will
be advised locally to apply for re-
newal Of their "A" ration books be.
fore November 8.
Only three of the six "A-13"
stamps in the renewal books will be
validated for the East Coast. Tho
other three will be Cancelled by
over printing before the books are
issued. This half ration Is neces-
sary, OPA explained, because in tho
East Coast the "A-13" coupons will
be valid for only six weeks.
On December II all "A-I3" cou.
pons will expire simultaneously
throughout the country and the
following day, December "a, "A-l4"
coupons will become good In all
parts Of the country.
Premium Output to BE Cut.
Meanwhile a so per cent cut in the
production of premium gasoline
Tor civilian use was ordered by Pc
troleum Administrator Ickes.
Mr.. 1ckes said the action was ne.
ceSsltated because Of an explosion
and f1re in one lead manufacturing
plant which caused loss in output
OF tetraethyl lead, a component of
premium gasoline. Other kad-pro.
ducing plants, operating at peak ca.
pacity for war purposes, are unable
to absorb the loss.
The reduction in supplies Of
premium grade motor fuel will bs
made up by increasing the manu-
facture of regulation gasoline so
that there will be no drop in the
total quantity available for civilian
use, Mr.. Ickes said,
