Virginia COP Disputes
Democratic Claims
BY the Associated Press,

by the ASSOClateQ HreS8.
RICHMOND, Va. Nov. 4.-Demo-
cratic claims that Virginia will give
President Roosevelt a majority
"close to 10000 votes" Tuesday
were countered today with Repub-
lican predictions of strong support
of the Dewey -Bricker ticket and a
good opportunity" for Republican
victories in four Of the seven Con-
gressional contests.
I. r. Dovel OF Luray, chairman of
the Republican State Committee,
stated that "it is not entirely i'm
possible for the. State to 60 to
Dewey"
The Republicans, he said, "have
q wonderful opportunity" to win
the Congressional races in the End,
9Th, 7th and 9th districts.
Clarence r. Ahalt of Arlington
Virginia Republican Campaign Com
mittee chairman, went even further
and said, "From reports coming to
me from all over the State I am
satisfied that Virginia is going to
join with the sufIicient other States
to put an end to the New Deal, and
will usher in the American form of
government q"
Earl A. Fitzpatrick, State Demo-
cratic campaign director, predicted
a record vote of approximately
375 900 and a Democratic majority
greater than that given to President
Roosevelt four years ago.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick predicted also
that all Of the Democratic congress-
ional nominees would be elected by
safe margins.
]. Louis Reynolds, State manager
of the COMMITTEES Of 100 for the
Reelection Of President Roosevelt,
expressed the belief also that the
for the Roosevelt Truman

Arlington Defers Plea
For TeIevision Station
To Serve Capital Area
Wants Further Study
Before Ruling on PhiIco
Application for Outlet

Following a three hour discussion
on permitting location of televi-
sion relay station on North Kensing-
ton street, between Twenty sixth
and Twenty-seventh streets, the
County Board, in a spe-
cial meeting yesterday, for a sec
ond time continued the matter for
another week.
Philco Radio Corp. is seeking a
use permit for the site, which has
been determined by the firms engi-
neers to be the best location In the
Washington area. Philco repre-
sentatives pointed out it is necessary
to find site high enough SO that
no shadows will be introduced by
higher points between the station
In question and the next link in the
relay. Also, 1t was said, it should be
located in such a manner that pro-
grams can be beamed directly to the
population in the area to be served.
Plans $4,000 Building.
Reed T. Rollo, Philco representa-
tive, told the board that the COM
pany contemplates erecting a struc-
ture of Colonial design, estimated
to cost $4,000. There also would be
two 100-foot towers, aveaging ap-
proximately Is inches to each side.
County Planning Engineer Frank
L. Dieter compared it with a local
telephone exchange in character.
which he said is permitted in a
residential area.
A petition signed by 81 residents
Of the area protested granting the
permit, on the grounds that it would
be likely to interfere with their
radio reception and reduce their
property values.
County Manager Frank c. Han
rahan said he couldn't recommend
granting the permit because the
residents objected to having the
towers near their homes.
The matter was continued when
= AAAAS0 ACN NCoC1CdtlNCS Sdlu tIlcE
would confer with Mr.. Dieter on the
possibility of finding another site.
Playground Survey Approved.
The board approved a request of
Mr.. Dieter that he be authorized to
contract with an outside firm for
the nessary surveying on sites for
proposed county Fairgrounds. It
was granted by 2 81 vote, with Mr..
objecting because "It's
inconsistent with good county
financing.
Mr.. Dieter said it was necessary
to take this step to expedite the
county playground program. The
work will be done by Carlisle and
Shawn, at a cost of $500, which will
be taken from a $4,000 contingent
fund for playground purposes.
The board also approved transfer
of the present appropriation for a
probation officer from the Welfare
Department to the county court, at
the request Of Judge Hugh Reid,
and increased the annual salary to
$1,000.

Dorothy Dix Says

gers on their pulses counting their
heartbeats, and, if they stay normal,
they conclude that they have ceased
to love each other At middle age
they expect to experience all the
hectic chills and thrills of Adde'S
cence, and when they no longer
palpitate at the sound of foot
step they have heard millions of
times, they begin to pity themselves
as the victims OF dead passion.
And what adds to the tragedy of
the situation is that these lovelorn
oldsters, who have suddenly dis
covered that they have ceased to
care for their lawful mates, so often
turn philanderers. They have gone
into blind panic over hearing the
final call to the dining car and are
determined to have a last bite of
romance at any cost. So women
who have been models of virtue and
pillars of the church all their lives
have under-the-ros affairs that
end in scandals, and men divorce
their faithful old wives and marry
gold-diggers young enough to be
their granddaughters.
Nothing Is more pathetic than
this craving of middle age to re-
vive the emotions of it's youth, be-
cause it cannot be done. The heart
grows old even as our faces do, but
it can still beat with just as true
and steady rhythm. And If mar
ried people would Just accept this
as one Of the comforting facts of
life and trust their affection, in
stead of trying to pep 1t UP with
new thrills, they would save them
selves q lot of grief.

This is the time she studies her

these fledeiing glamour girls under

The reason that so many mar

They take love for granted and
congeniality in their stride, and II
the husband no longer sees his wife
as his dream girl, he reflects she
is a darn good cook and easy to
live with; and If the wife no longer

And for the first time in 20 years the

their feelings toward each other,
and to wonder if they have been
as happy as they thought they were
