Work Marked by Efficiency.
One who had not inspected the
center might think that a group of
workers haphazardly would turn out
that sort of work. The contrary is
true. The project moves with quiet
efficiency from start to finish. No
wasted motion is apparent The
workers have been provided with
the. latest equipment. and they op-
crate 1t so effectively that three to
four carloads of clothing and a car
of food move out every week. Dur
ing one recent week, seven carloads
left for the docks in Baltimore or
New York, but that was a record
week.
The clothing is sorted and baled
in the school gymnasium. Under a
torn basketball basket. baling ma
chine of the newest design pressed
the garments into compact bundles,
which are wrapped in paper and
burlap automatically and sent down
chute to waiting trucks.
Efforts are made to obtain gifts
of clothing in good repair. Repair
work except on shoes, no longer is
done at the center. If torn clothing
does arrive, however, it is not dis
carded, but sewing kits are en-
closed when it is shipped, SO that
the recipients can mend it.
Shoes are in a different category.
If they are salvagable, they are well
come. The center has as complete
a repair shop as you'd find in any
city. Shoes are soled, heeled and
mended until they come out looking
new. Hundreds of pairs are re-
novated and boxed every week.
Many of these shoes will be taken

the party plan, Mr.. Dovel succeeded
in over-ruling committee recon-
mendations that would have allowed
delegates to State committee and
executive committee meetings to
vote more than one proxy.
This change, and an amend
ment requiring the establishment
of a committee in each senatorial
district to nominate candidates for
the upper branch of the General
Assembly, will become effective i'm
mediately.
Other ReviSions Endorsed.
Other party plan revisions which
were indorsed, but must be ap-
proved at the next State conven-
ton. include:
Requiring all members of COM
mittees to be equally divided among
men and women insofar as practic-
able; that in addition to the chair
man, the vice e-chairman and vice
chairwoman, a secretary and treas
urer of the State Party shall be
elected in State convention held in
each presidential election year, for
terms of four years each, rather
than being elected by the Execu-
tive Committee; requiring. the State
Executive Committee to decide all
controversies in any election district
on appeal. which may effect the
efficiency of the organization or the
success of the party; requiring all
counties and cities which consti-
tute single House of Delegates
district to hold a mass meeting OF
convention to elect a candidate.
Senator Landreth's address was
punctuated with applause, particu-
larly when he referred to State
problems. While Gov. Tuck in his
inaugural address opposed Federal
aid because he contended each dol
lar has attached to it strings
which deprive the State of its
rights, Senator Landreth modified
this viewpoint when he declared:
I'VE favor Federal aid to the ex.
tent necessary to States, anc
through States to their subdivisions
to assist them in affording subsis.
tence, shelter and medical care te
their citizens who are unable tc
provide for themselves. Such aid
including unemployment compensa.
tion, must be based on State ano
local initiative, cooperation and
responsibility, without Fedc--al bu.
reaucratic interference.
Must Avoid Socialization.
"It must avoid socialization of the
medical profession or of any othe,
activity. Federal aid must be in
amounts which do not impose ar
unreasonable burden of taxation or
the rest of the population who pay
the bills"
He denounced the recent General
Assembly for failing to pass edu-
cation revisions proposed by the
Denny Commission.
He reminded delegates to be pre-
pared for General Assembly elec-
tions for next year. With only

Any action by the Bethesda Cham

In letter to the chamber, the
club said:
Since there is no apparent COM

Byrd in Senate Race
By Alex R. Preston
Stor S'oH CORRESPONDENT,

ROANOKE. Va, Mar. 16.-Lester
S. Parsons, Norfolk attorney and
Republican candidate for State At
torney General last fall. was unani-
mosly nominated by Virginia Re-
publicans here today to oppose
Senator Byrd in the November cleo
tions.
Mr.. Parsons nomination was the
only uncontested action by the an
nual Republican State Convention
following session in which an
effort by Arlington County's dele
gates to win favor for legalized horse
racing and parimutuel betting in
the Old Dominion was shouted
down.
Mr. Parson, Sc, was forced to leave
the convention earlier in the after
noon when a roll call on a party
plan amendment prolonged the ses-
sion.
Carl Marshall, Fairfax, reported
Mr.. Parsons name as the unani-
nous choice of the nominations
committee.
Chairman of COP Group.
Mr.. Parsons is chairman of the
Second District Republican Com
mittee and is member-at-large oil
the State Executive Committee. He
opposed Attorney General A. P
Staples last fall, and he was candi-
date for the House of Representa-
tives in 1926 against Joseph T. Deal
A native of Brick Store, Lee County
He has practiced law in Norfolk
since 1917.
Efforts by a minority to win
nominations committee support o1
a plan to name a candidate for the
seat held by Senator Glass, if he
resigns, failed to materialize. AL.
though about 300 delegates arrived
before the convention was called to
order by State Chairman I. r.
Dovel, Luray, the crowd swelled to
approximately 500 by the time
State Senator S. Floyd Landreth
Galax, delivered the keynote ad-
dress.
Grason A. Ahalt, Arlington, in
itiated the resolution to legalize
parimutuel betting to finance school
and health programs. When the
Resolutions Committee report
made by Glenn Ruebush, Harrison
burg, failed to include this measure
N. c. Nichols, Leesburg, submitted
it to the convention.
Dalton Leads Opposition.
State Senator Ted Dalton, Rad
ford, led opposition to the plan. He
declared it unwise for Republicans
to support such a plan, and it was
apparent from applause that dele
gates were overwhelmingly against
the measure.

prime movers in carrying it for

sented.
No Questions Asked.
No one asks those who drop in to
help exactly how they interpret the
Book of Genesis or whether they
believe in infant baptism or favor
total immersion at a later age.
They're asked only, Can you help?
How long can you stay?"
Selective service has assigned
about IS conscientious objectors to
the center, and these youths are
eager to serve here. Officials say
they are invaluable.
The volunteers have included COL
lege professors, laborers, farmers,
artisans of every type, ministers,
lawyers, engineers.
There is, as just one example,
