RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 23.-Ar-
gurnent on a motion to compel the
Wise County Circuit Court clerk to
open the election books of the re-
cent Democratic primary to l.. Pres
ton Collins of Smyth was to be re-
sumed today in Richmond Circuit
Court.
Mr.. Collins and 81 Wise County
citizens have filed a contest of the
primary in which Charles r. Fen
wick, Arlington, became the party's
nominee for lieutenant governor,
defeating Mr.. Collins by 572 votes.
The suit will not be complete
until service has been obtained on
Mr.. .'Fenwick and the notice returned
to court. However, Willis E. Cohoon,
Mr.. Fenwick's State campaign man
ager, said in Suffolk he under
stands the Democratic candidate is
on his way to Richmond from
Wright Field, Ohio.
Countersuit Indicated.
Mr.. Cohoon intimated that q
countersuit might be filed on the
basis Of lopsided votes in some
counties. He said that counsel
.(for FenwicD shall probably be
interested in the fact that the re-
turns from great many precincts
were withheld from Tuesday night,
the election day, until late the fol-
lowing Thursday, when Mr.. Fen
wick's lead was reduced from several
thousand to few hundred"
Judge Julien Gum indicated he
would give Mr.. Collins the legal
right to inspect the poll books and
other Wise County election data.
However, he delayed entering the
order until further argument this
morning.
Leith Bremner, who, with T. Mel
son Parker and Oscar w. Shewmake,
represents Mr.. .Fenwick, told the
court he and his associates had not
read the petition of contest and
maintained the court had nothing
before it because legal service of
the paper had not been made on
Mr.. Fenwick. -
Judge Expresses Surprise.
L. T. Hutton, attorney for Mr.
Collins, said he was merely asking
the court to give Mr.. Collins the
right to examine the records of the
primary election in Wise Judge
Gum expressed some surprise that
access to the books had been denied.
He said, "Mr. Collins is entitled to
inspect the poll books I'm going
to let him have access to them. An
election is sacred thing"
Meanwhile, Howard Carwile, In
dependent candidate for Governor,
sent telegram to Senator Harry F.
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia in
Washington in which he said Mr..
Collins challenge of the Demo-
cratic primary in Wise County /
simply means that I shall be the
next Governor of Virginia" 4

Disposition Of New
| child-care centers
Presents Problem

The postwar retrenchment which
soon will close % FWA-supported
nursery schools and school-age CEN
ters in the District, posed a new
problem today as parents here and
In Alexandria prepared to. meet to-
night to map a campaign urging
continuance Of the centers.
Miss Katherine Doonan, project
administrator for the Board of Edu-
cation, said she did not know what
will become of six newly built chill
care centers and the District prop
critics at 314 D street Sc. The lat
ter were remodeled with Federal
Works Agency funds for child-care
purposes.
1t was revealed that operation of
the IL white and IL colored centers
In the District had cost a total of
about 100000. The program was
launched in July, 1943.
Distributes QUESTIONABLE.
Miss Doonan said the Board of
Education distributed Tuesday a
job expectancy QUESTIONABLE to
the child care centers. The pur-
pose, she said, is to discover how
long mothers with enrolled chill
dren expect their jobs to continue,
whether they plan to try to get
another job, how many fathers are
IN the armed forces, and other in
formation to indicate the need for
continuance of the centers.
Miss Doonan said two child care
buildings were erected specifically
for the FWA-supported operation.
One was built by the Navy Depart
ment at the Bellevue Naval Research,
Laboratory, 225 Boyer road S.W.,
near Boiling Field. Another, a de-
mountable structure, was erected at
Thirteenth and v streets Sc. Both
are for white enrolment.
Other Centers Operated.
In addition, Miss Doonan said, the
program operates three centers con-
structed by the National Capital
Housing Authority. One is for the
Highland Dwellings development at
676 Yuma street Sc. for white chill
dren, and the other two for the
Syphax development at l725 First
street S.W., and the Parkside
Dwellings at 3785 Grant street NE.
both for colored children.
The sixth is a center at 22l0 H
street NE. to serve colored children
living in the Langston Terrace de-
velopment.
Miss Doonan said present plans
call for school-age centers to close
September l5-two days before
opening OF public schools for
nurseries to close September 80. In
some cases, extensions may be
granted, but the deadline for all
FWA support is set as October 81.

rive new cases OF 1nfantlle par
alysis were reported today by the
Health Department, bringing the
total so far this year to lis for the
Metropolitan Area. This compares
with ITO cases at the comparable
date last year.
A breakdown of the origin OF
these cases, however, shows that
this year there are fewer cases from
the National Capital and more from
out of town than last year. OF the
lis so far this year, IS originated in
the District and so from nearby
areas: whereas of the ITO cases as
OF this date last year, 10 were from
Washington and 40 from out OF
town.
Cases Treated in District.
The figures represent cases treated
In the District and do not represent
any which may originate in the
nearby areas without coming to
Washington for treatment.
There have been five deaths 50
far this year compared with six
at this time last year. The per-
centage of nonparalytic patients now
stands at IS per cent of the total
this season as compared with 43
per cent last year. But this differ
ence is so small as not to be con-
elusive, Health Department officials
said.
Soldier, 81, Stricken.
The five new cases reported today
included a 31-year-old soldier, a
master sergeant from the 1900 block
of Alabama avenue Sc, who was
sent to Walter Reed Hospital.
The other cases are: A 17-year-
old colored student from Howard
University who was taken first to
Freedmen's Hospital and now is at
Gallinger Hospital; a 2h-year-old
boy from the 100 block of Third
street NE, at Childrens Hospital;
a 5-year-old girl from the. 100 block
of N street S.W., at Children's Hos
pital, and a 9-month-old boy from
Wood Acres, Md, at Children's Hos
pital.
United States Public Health Serv-
ice officials reported today that the
Nationwide outbreak Of the disease
might be tapering of" and local
authorities gave assurance that
Washington's hospital facilities still
are adequate to meet the demand.
An official of the USPHS said the
Nation appeared to be CLOSE to the
peak week" in number of new cases
reported. For the week ending
August 18, 692 new cases were re-
ported throughout the Nation COM
pared with 671 cases for the preced-
ing week, he said.
Increase Tapers OF.
Although this was an increase of
81, the increase IS far less than the
197-case increase between the two
preceding weeks, 1t was pointed out.
The total cases for the entire year
up to August 18 was 4,276, compared
with. 6,262 for the corresponding
period last year.
Richmond, Va, announced the
total cases for the year in Virginia
rose to 16l yesterday with the re-
porting Of now cases. Two OF
them were from Richmond, two
from Arlington. one from Fairfax
County and one from Tunstall, New
Kent County.

DemobiIize Novy Men Shortly

Tokyo Bay, Aug. 29-UP)-F1eet Adnr. Chester w. Nimitz said to- day that demobilization of the Navy will take place as rapidly as pos- sible and steps already are under way to return Navy men to the United States as fast as ships are available to carry them.
 In press conference, Nimitz said that the Navy's shooting figure" was 500, ,000-man peacetime fleet.
 Asked how seriously the Allied sea blockade affected Japan, Nim- itz said:
 'It brought about their surren- der-I don't know how much more than that!"
 Nimitz said it was now impossi- ble to tell how the invention of the atomic bombs would affect future navies but he said it was certain that such bombs would have hard time reaching submarines. He added that when the full story of the sub- marines participation in the war is told, it would be realized then how much victory depended on it.
