Staples Buoys Hopes
For Act on Primaries
BY the Associated Press.

E9 the ASSOCIATED Press.
RICHMOND, Va. Dec. l5.-The
probability of emergency legislative
action to permit the usual local
councilmanic primaries in April was
strengthened today by an opinion
from Attorney General A. P.
Staples.
The attorney general in an oral
opinion to Gov. Darden said it is
conceded that under provisions of
the War Voters Act the time has
passed for filing for local primaries
and that it would be up to the Cen
eral Assembly to take whatever
steps are necessary.
The attorney general also ruled
that the War Voters Act would not
affect a special election for Con-
gress, which cleared the way for the
Governor to call an election in the
Sixth District to name a successor
to Representative Woodrum, Demo-
crat, who has resigned effective De-
cember 81. Gov. Darden has indi-
Gated the election will be set some
time in January, perhaps about the
middle or latter part of the month.
Several Virginia cities, including
Richmond, Roanoke, Lynchburg and
Petersburg, discovered recently that
the War Voters Act requires filing
OF notice of candidacy in the local
primaries 80 days in advance and
moves the date of the primary up
from the first Tuesday in April to
the first Tuesday in March.
AS a result, council candidates
with the exception of one in Rich
mond, failed to qualify before the
December 5 deadline.
