Hearing Is Arranged
To Probe Complaints
Of Blind in Virginia
By the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, June "A hear
ing will be conducted by the Vir-
ginia Commission for the Blind at
the Workshop for the Blind in
Charlottesville to investigate the
cause for grievances filed in petit
ton to Gov. Darden by a group of
blind workers at the institution,
John L. Livers, Charlottesville. COM
mission chairman, said over the
week end.
Mr.. Livers said that he was pre-
pairing a reply to the charges listed
in the petition to the Governor by
the workers and added that COM
plants, registered against L. L.
Watts, executive secretary of the
commission since its creation in
1922, were the first to come to his
attention.
He 'tMr. Watts should have a
monument erected to him instead
Of complaints" Mr.. Livers said in
enumerating the services the secre-
tary has rendered the commission.
Mr.. Watts had no comment.
The bill of complaints charges
that Mr.. Watts, "by temperament
and training, is untitled for the
office" and asserts that "he is dicta-
torial, unreasonable, and arbitrary
in handling the peculiar and more
or less complicated problems of the
blind people of Virginia"
The blind workers also charge
that no adequate or efficient pro-
gram exists in Virginia for the ad-
vancement of the best interests Of
the blind. and complain particularly
of an insufficient training and
placement program. Grievances are
alleged concerning working condi-
tions in the workshop.
Gov. Darden forwarded the petit
ton to Mr.. Livers and requested the
commission to make a full inveSti-
CATION of the charges listed. Mr.
Livers indicated he would have a
reply after the petition has been
submitted to the commission men,
bers within the next two weeks in
Charlottesville.

establishment of the shelter last
August"
The committee, formed at the re-
quest of the War Relocation Au-
thority after the center was estab-
lished last August to house refugees
from II European countries, made
these specific recommendations:
/. "The refugees who would, ex-
cept for their present peculiar cir
cumstances, be eligible under our
existing immigration quotas should
be permitted, should they so desire,
to become citizens of the United
States"
2. Those who desire to return to
their homeland or any portion of
the world should be given the op-
portunity as soon as conditions
permit"
Noting that all the refugees had
agreed to return to their native
countries after the war, the COM
mittee said it did not seem fair"
to hold them to "inhumane" agree
ments they had accepted only in
desperation"
