3 Nimitz Daughters to Share
Hero Father With City on Day
Family Separated
Widely Since the
Beginning of War

For three Washington girls,
"Nimitz Day" is more than a well
come home for a national hero
The hero is their father.
And Miss Mary Nimitz, Miss
Nancy Nimitz and Mrs. James T.
Lay expect, to see just about as
much as Fleet Admiral Chester
Nimitz as the rest of Washington
"But we're used to that" smiled
Mrs. Lay, oldest sister and spokes-
man for the trio. Its been this
way ever since the beginning of the
war. The few times he's been here
for conferences, we were just part
of the throng."
For Mrs. Lay, "Nimitz Day" may
pose special problem. She has
already resigned her job as chief of
the District Public Library's music
division to join her husband on the
West Coast whenever his ship comes
inland even if she is the feet ad-
miral's daughter she doesn't know
any more about ship arrivals than
any other waiting wife If Comdr.
Lay comes in before Friday, she'll
have to decide whether to stay here
and see the celebration for her fa-
ther or go to the West Coast and
see her husband.
Back in March.
The last time she saw her hus-
band was when I married him.
That was back in March and that
was the last time she saw her ia
ther, too Admiral Nimitz, home in
March for conferences at the Navy
Department, attended his daugh-
ter's wedding.
The Nimitz daughters would like
to have one evening with their ia
ther. They've planned just what
they want to do.
WED like to have a musical eve
ming" Mrs. Lay explained. I'VE
want him to hear all our new rec
ords. He's a record collector, too.
We always send him records for
his birthdays and Christmas but
we want him to see our collection.
The remainder of the time Ad-
miral Nimitz is here, they expect
to be sharing him with the rest of
Washington. The Navy Depart
ment has sent them tickets to GAL
lery seats at the Capitol to hear
their father address Congress and
they want to see the parade. Mrs.
Lay said they play no favorites.
They also viewed the celebrations
for Gen. Eisenhower and Gen.
here.
Mrs. Lay said their father al
ways writes them regularly but
they haven't heard from him since
"Nimitz Day" was announced.
But he'll take it in his stride"
she added. Il know he'll enjoy it"
Won't Be Complete.
Since the war, the Nimitz family
has been widely separated and even
now, Mrs. Lay doesn't expect the

Court Expected
To Put Collins
On Ballot Today
Formal Decree Due,
With Reprinting of
Ticket Expected
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va. Oct. IA for
NAL order declaring Lewis Preston
Collins of Marion the Democratic
nominee for lieutenant governor Is
expected to be entered in Rich
mond Circuit Court today by Judge
Julien Gum. In an opinion Sat-
urday Judge Gum invalidated the
returns of the August primary in
Wise County. ----
Attorneys for Mr.. Collins re-
mained in Richmond over the week
emo to draft a formal order on
Judge Gums decision in Mr.. Col
Inns contest of the nomination Of
Charles r. Fenwick of Arlington.
H. E. Widener of Bristol, chief
counsel for Mr. Collins, said the
order would not be presented to
Judge Gum until it has been sub
mitted to counsel for Mr.. Fenwick.
Some Ballots Filled Out.
Judge Gums ruling invalidated
the entire vote in Wise County be-
cause of frauds alleged by Mr.. Col
Inns. The contest was predicated
on the theft of Is of the eounty's
q poll books after the primary,
making it impossible to verify the
vote in various precincts as re-
turned by the county's election
commission. The county gave the
Arlington candidate a majority of
over 5000, while his State plurality
was only 572.
Mr.. Widener indicated the courts
formal order also will direct the
States 124 electoral boards to print
and distribute new ballots for the
November election with the name of
Mr.. Collins as the nominee.
Almost all the electoral boards
already have printed ballots for the
November election with Mr.. Fen
wick's name and have supplied the
War Voters Commission with bal
lots to take care of service person.
mel who wish to participate in the
election. Some of the Fenwick ball
lots already have been voted and
returned by the service voters.
Qualified as Independent.
Whether Judge Gum will UNDER
take to do anything about service
ballots in his order is unknown.
Mr.. Fenwick is qualified as an in
dependent candidate for Lieutenant
Governor and that fact entities him
to have his name printed on the
ballot, but not, of course, in the
Democratic list.
Apparently the ruling will have no
effect on the Wise County grand
jury investigation. This probe on
alleged criminal phases of irregulari-
ties is expected to be resumed
Wednesday.
