To Force Election Of
Successor 10 Glass

John Locke Green, Republican
treasurer of Arlington County. yes
terday filed with the Virginia Su-
preme Court of Appeals at Rich
mond petition asking pre-emptory
writs of mandamus which would
compel Gov. Darden to call an elec-
tion in November to replace Carter
Glass, 87-year-old Democratic Sem
ator.
Mr.. Green charged in his petition
to vacate Mr.. Glass seat that the
Senator is permanently incapaci-
tated," and that his absence from
the Senate for more than three
years constitutes abandonment of
Office.
When the Supreme Court con-
venes September in Staunton. Mr.
Green said he intended to appear
in support of his petition, which
while aimed at removing Senator
Glass from Office, is directed at Gov
Darden, who earlier this week said
he had no authority to declare the
Senate seat open because illness
does not constitute a vacancy"
Mr.. Green contented that Senator
Glass is no longer capable of per-
forming the duties of his Office ano
that the Senator will never attend
another Senate session or go to his
office in the Senate Off1ce Building
for the reason he is incapable OF
making a decision and permanently
incapacitated."
The duties OF the Senator's Of
flee are being executed "in some
manner by his secretary, Rixey
Smith, MIR. Green said.
A copy of the petition was sent tc
Senator Glass, MFR. Green said, but
inquiries made last night at the
