Mail Ballot Fraud
Denied by Delaney

Paul L. Delaney, Democratic NOM
inee for the Alexandria City Council
from the first ward, yesterday de-
MED charges by Raymond Gala
CHER that mail ballots cast in the
April 2 primary election were not
legal. Mr.. Delaney received 1856
votes in the primary to 371 for Mr..
Gallagher and 271 for Thomas A.
Hulfsh.
The denial was contained in an
answer filed in Circuit Court to
petition by Mr.. Gallagher that the
election be declared void.
Mr.. Gallagher had declared in his
petition that in some cases, voters
were no longer residents of Alex
andria or of its first ward, that they
were not properly registered and
that their mail ballots were obtained
at the request of Mr.. Delaney or
his supporters.
AS well as denying Mr.. Gallaghers
allegations that election officials did
not conduct the election properly,
Mr.. Delaney filed a motion to strike
this paragraph from Mr.. Gallagher's
petition on the ground that the allie
cations as to the improper conduct
OF the officials were not specific.
Mr.. Delaney is represented by
State Senator Andrew w. Clarke,
Judge Robinson Moncure and J..
Randolph F. Davis. Mr.. Gallagher's
attorneys are Maurice Rosenberg
and Keith Hunt.
Circuit Court Judge Paul Brown
will set date for the hearing of the
case as well as of charges brought
by Marshall Beverley against the
fifth ward nominee, 1t. Col. Everett
A. Hellmuth, who filed his answer to
Mr.. Beverley's petition earlier this

piled:
"The average sentence here l.

House Concurrence Necessary.
In response to further questions

Home for Campaign

Chairman Bilbo of the Senat,
District Committee started back tt
Mississippi today for a two-montf
reelection battle, after designatin,
Senator Hoey, Democrat, of NORTH
Carolina, to look after District prob.
lens for him.
The Mississippian obtained per.
mission of the Senate late yesterda,
to go home until July 2, after ex.
plafaing he has four opponents ir
his race for denomination. Ir
MISSISSIPPI, winning the Democratic
nomination in July is tantamount
to election.
Talks Confidently.
Senator Bilbo had spent q gooo
part OF the day answering his maga.
zine and newspaper critics in the
North, and talking confidently o1
the primary outcome.
Il have four opponents, but nc
opposition" he observed at one
point.
Senator Bilbo centered his attack
on Henry r. Luce, publisher of Life
Magazine, and his wife, Representa-
tive Clare Booth Luce, because OF
an appraisal the magazine made
recently of the 33 Senators up for
reelection this year. The magazine
described Bilbo as the worst man
in the Senate" In his reply, Sena-
tor Bilbo asserted:
1T is indeed remarkable, but of
the 10 who made the grade in Life
in the opinion of Papa Luce, and
tickle capricious Glare, 6 are Re-
publicans and only are Demo-
cratS-4 lone Democrats out of 81

l3> per cent of the whole. To state
1t another way, so per cent of the
Republicans are given a passing
grade, but only 13 per cent of the
Democrats are given the green light
out of 49,"
In addition to asking Senator
Hoey to look after local affairs in
his absence, Senator Bilbo indicated
he will arrange to fly back to WASH
lngton on short notice if any urgent
business should require his presence.
Young Nomination Pending.
Among questions pending before
the Senate District Committee is
the nomination of Commissioner
John Russell Young for another
term.
The committee also must make a
decision within the next two months
on the question of recommending
another postponement of the law
which would require the closing of
alley dwellings in the District on
July /.
Two other important local bills
the hospital center and slum clear
ance measures-are still in the
legislative mill. They have passed
the Senate, but are awaiting House
action. If that body should pass
them with changes, they would go
back to the Senate committee for
final adjustment.
Still another House bill, to reor-
ganize the Board of Public Welfare
and control of penal institutions,
may claim the attention of the
Senate committee during Senator
Bilbo's absence, if the House passes

20 Ga||inger Nurses,
|FCA Return Provided
In Bill Passing Senate

The s63 ,263 $50 second deficiency
bill is on its way to conference with
the House today, after passing the
Senate late yesterday with several
amendments of interest to Wash
ington.
The Senate adopted without op-
position the following items that
were not in the House version:
For the immediate hiring of 20
additional nurses at Gallinger Hos
pital for the remainder of this
fiscal year, $1,000.
To bring 400 employees of the Farm
Credit Administration back to
Washington from Kansas City, Mo-,
$295, ,020.
Expands Water Facilities.
For expansion of local sewer and
water facilities, largely to provide
for new housing developments
S575,000
For the erection of a statue OF
George Washington on the Capitol
grounds, $4,000.
The House is in Easter recess un-
til Tuesday, at which time it prob
ably will appoint conferees to ne
gotiate with the Senate on these
additions to the bill.
When the House acted on the de-
ficiency bill a month ago it cut
from $685., 900 to 100000 a budget
estimate for bringing back to WASH
ington scattered Government bu-
reaus that were moved to other
cities during the war emergency
This left little more than enough
to pay the final cost of returning
the Patent Office force from Rich
mond, Va.
FCA Space Needed.
Some of the FCA employees al
ready have been brought back, and
the Senate committee was impressed
with the desirability of completing
that transfer. The space used by
FCA in Kansas City is needed by
the Veterans Administration. Con-
gress also has been informed that
the housing situation is even more
acute in Kansas City than it is here.
Although the total of the def
cheney bill as passed by the Senate
is far less than the $233, ,157 ,293 ap-
proved by the House, the reduction
is owing largely to the fact that
funds for increased Government
pay costs were transferred from
this bill to a separate resolution and
passed last week.
