PLOTS AGAINST NEGRO
VOTING POINTED OUT

MACON, Ca, May IL (ANP)-
Leaders of Georgia's political cir
cles, meeting here last week at the
biennial session of the Georgia
Civic and Political league were
warned against the efforts of thin
skin shysters and clandestine plot
ters attempting to undermine and
embarrass their participation in
the states primary elections.
Some $50 community leaders
gathered from over 43 counties of
the state to map plans for the eff
fective organization of their pol
itical forces over the state.
In his message to the gathering,
John Wesley Dobbs, state presi-
dent, called upon the representa-
tives to continue to stick together,
organize and plan wisely" for the
political welfare of "our people"
in Georgia and in a "non-partisan
way"
eve must think together; we
must stick together, and until that
day comes when we have fully ac-
quired our liberty and freedom as
full-fledged citizens, we must even
vote together" declared President
Dobbs, who is also grandmaster of
Prince Hall Masons in Georgia.
The president of the state group
revealed that the United States
District attorneys Office assured
him that all such violations of poll
tical rights as might come through
subterfuge or intimidation would
be dealt with by that office.
In recounting developments in
the primary suit and its successful
victory up to the highest court,
Dobbs commended the lofty and
liberal position of Gov. Ellis Arnall
in refusing to become a party to
any scheme seeking to circumvent
the decision. "Our governor Of
Georgia" said Mr.. Dobbs, "has
said that Negroes now have the
right to vote in Georgia elections.
He had refused to call an extra
session of the legislature. For this
courageous stand, | think we
should not only commend the gov
ernor, but that we should make a
secret pledge in our hearts to re-
member and support him where
ever a future occasion should per-
NIT us to do So"

Alexandria's 1947 Budget
To Show S5OO,OOO Rise

Original estimates that Alexan-
dria City government expenditures
would be $25o,000 higher in I947
than this year, today have been re-
vised upward again to approximate

cedure of issuing bonds.

10 cents on every 500 of real estate
assessed valuation would return
$50, 900, it was pointed out.

Views Asked on Methods
Of EIecfing County Council

The Montgomery County Charter
Board today asked county residents
to express their views on how men,
bers of a county council should be
, elected.
The question is the third in q
series sponsored by the board in an
effort to obtain opinions from resi-
dents on provisions of a charter for
the county.
At present, the board explained
the county commissioners must
come from five different districts
but are elected by all the voters. II
has been contended, according te
the board, that the voters of each
district should elect their own COM
missioner. Under a charter form
of government the commissioners
would be replaced by a county
council.
Lawyers disagree as to whether
members of the county council may
be elected legally by districts under
present law" the board said. "The
board desires an expression of opin-
ion, however, on the method OF
election preferred by the voters"
Answers to the question should
be sent to the secretary of the
board, 1908 Woodside parkway, Sill

Silver Spring Library
Tax Rate Increase
To Cents Sought

Increase of the library tax rate
In the Silver Spring area from 2
to cents per 500 assessed valua-
ton is being sought by the Board
of Trustees of the Silver Spring
Public Library Association, it was
announced today.
The board said 1t will request
legislation doubling the tax rate at
the coming session of the State Leg
islature. The increase is necessary,
the trustees contend, in order to
provide adequate service for the
rapidly growing community.
The tax increase would amount
to approximately 81 to $1.50 for an
average home and would provide
the library with an annual income
OF about $4,000.
Mrs. C. w. Mitchell, chairman Of
the board, said the present income
has been insufficient to meet COM
munity needs. The proposed in
crease would permit employment Of
trained assistants, extension of Ii
brary hours, purchase of additional
books and other improvements.
Public support Of the proposal is
being sought through parent-teach-
er associations and civic groups.
The Board of Trustees also an
nounced it will request the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to set aside a
portion of the lot in the rear of
the Silver Spring Armory for 5u-
ture construction of a library build
ing. The commission recently an
nounced it has abandoned plans to
have the entire tract used for rec
reational purposes and has asked
for commercial rezoning.

luton expressing appreciation to

present accommodations in Jesup

Asks Reorganization
OF 6. 0. P. in Virginia
BY The Assoeiotsd Pres.

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 5.-A reor-
ganization in the State Republican
Party was suggested yesterday by
Lester S. Parsons, Norfolk, who an
nounced his resignation as member
of the State Executive Committee.
Also announcing his resignation
from the committee was Lawrence
G. Page, Norfolk. The two members
were succeeded by Thomas L. Wood
ward, Suffolk, and Sidney H. Kelsey
who viii attend meeting called by
State Party Chairman I. r. Dovel at
Roanoke Saturday.
The Saturday meeting Is expected
to consider calling an early conven-
ton to develop the two-party system
in the State.
In his announcement of the COM
'mittee changes, Mr.. Parsons said q
reorganization of all Republican city
and county committees in the I'd
district is planned. He said he hoped
such action would be taken through
out the State.
Cost of the Oak Ridge unit, he
said, is two and one-half times that
of one using coal, but chronological
advances would reduce the initial
outlay considerably.
DR.. Thomas warned, however,
that Gin the shadows is the bomb
ITSELF" and the question of It's fu-
ture control "imperils all peace
time advances IN the use Of atomic
energy.
An atomic power plant would be
most valuable, said DR.. Thomas, In
q desolate region. such as Alaska.
He asserted that one airplane Aight
could supply Alaska with enough
fuel to operate for two OF three
years.
DR.. Thomas, one Of the men who
drafted the fundamental outlines Of
the Baruch plan for control Of
atomic power, envisioned atomic en-
ergy leading to giant ocean liners
operating for more than a year
without refueling and to substances
which might attack each malignant
growth and eradicate cancer.
Mr.. Parsons, unsuccessful candi-
date against Senator Byrd in the
November general election, said he
had written to all Republican chair
merf apd secretaries in the district
asking them to take part in the re-
organization to set up a party "to
which all Republicans and others
inclined to join our forces may re-
pair"
The designations of Mr.. Parsons
and MIR. Page were applauded by
Chairman Dovel, who said he "con-
CURED 100 per cent" In the action.
II believe" Mr.. Dovel said at Lu-
ray, "if we should have a complete
reorganization of the party in Vir-
ginia with lot Of new people tax
ing part in it, that it would bring
about a real two-party system at a
much earlier date.
"And II all members and officers
Of the party would concur in that,
we could have a convention early
in the spring and completely re-
organize the party If we took those
steps we could get something con-
structive done looking to next falls
State election and the national
election in 1948."
