Virginia COP Hears
Landreth Outline Aims
By the Associated Press.


BRISTOL, Va, Aug. l3.-Better
roads, a broader public health pro-
gram, evenly distributed taxes and
elimination of the poll tax as a pre-
requisite to voting were included in
aims of the Republican party in
Virginia. as outlined by Senator
Floyd Landreth at Ninth District
Republican Committee meeting here
Saturday.
If We use all of our individual
power and strength for progressive
and better Government we will get
somewhere" said the State Senator
who is the Republican candidate for
Governor.
He declared he had no desire to
introduce personalities into the cam
+pafgn, but it is not right for some
people to inf1ict their personal
wishes against the people. Senator
Byrd, regardless of his intentions
has not the right to decide all the
problems of Virginia"
Senator Landreth declared "there
is general agreement that our public
schools are not what they should
be-"
The present system is made
quate,," he said. The pitiful thing IS
that it has been inadequate tor a
long time without anything being
done about it. Every Virginian ought
TO interest himself in better schools.
Let's ind our way to the troubles
that exist and make for Virginia a
school system second to none with
immediate remedial action. It is
shameful that hundreds of our high
school graduates are so poorly pre-
pared that they cannot 60 into our

Snake Ritual Continued
Without Police Interference
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
STONE CREEK, Va, Aug. 13.-
Apparently abandoning its fight to
prohibit. snake-handling by deter
mined cultists of Lee County, Vir-
ginia. did not send State troopers
to conf1scate the reptiles used in
ceremonies here yesterday.
Gathering in a grove near the
Stone Creek Church, the cultists
produced two poisonous snakes at
the climax of the rites. Members
who were moved by the spirit"
grasped the snakes with bare hands
and held them above their heads
to prove their faith" to fellow cul-
lists, in accordance with the pre-
ceptS of their religion.
The Rev. Bill Parsons, leader of
the Stone Greek group, denied the
snake seized by troopers last Sun
day had been poisoned or drugged.
Pathologists at the Medical College
of Virginia in Richmond, who ex-
amined the reptile, said the snake S
entrails were highly inflamed, a
condition which could be interpreted
as indicating a poisoned condition.
Mr.. Parsons averred honestly and
by my religion" the reptile had not
been tampered with.
Plans were mapped following yes
terday's demonstrations for the final
session OF the year to be held next
Sunday.

Smaller Businesses
10 Offer Most Jobs,
Trade Survey Shows

Business firms employing up tt
40 persons will play major part in
solving the postwar employment
problem of the Washington area
and contribute to anticipated pros
perity, survey of the Washington
Board of Trade disclosed today.
The report, prepared for publica-
ton by Opinion Research Corpora
ton of Princeton IN. il and to be
released in its entirety by the
boards Postwar Planning Commit
tee around August %, showed that
these small businesses alone antici-
pated the need for $4,000 new en-
ployes within a year after the jap
anese surrender.
Firms with four or less employees
that provided $4,000 jobs in July,
1914, expect an increase of 1900
new workers within the year, a
boost of "a per cent. Business with
5 to 49 persons, employing a total
of $4,000 in July, 1914. expect to add
81 900 persons, an increase of 80 per
cent.
Larger firm anticipate a some
what smaller increase in the num-
ber of new jobs, amounting to
around 10 per cent. Firms with so
to SO employees in July, 1914, pro-
viding 81 900 jobs at that time, look
for an increase of 1000 jobs, or 13
per cent. Firms with 100 or more
employees, may swell from 1O8 900 to
$4,000, an increase of only 9 per
cent.
Every effort will be made to en-
courage the expansion of small
businesses and the establishment of
new businesses here, the Board of
Trade said.
Although TIP firms with so or
more employees, out of the $1,000
firms in the area, employed 81 per
cent of all workers in July, 1914
the survey anticipated that a ma
jority will transfer to the smaller
firm bracket.
