Virginia Bar Appears
Split Over Support
OF Byrd, Smith

An exchange Of letters indicated
today that the Virginia State bar
was divided on the length to which
its lawyers should go in supporting
Senator Byrd and Representative
Smith for reelection.
Answering an open letter which
o. r. MCGUIRE, Arlington attorney,
sent Saturday to Virginia lawyers
asking them to support the cam
paign with all their energy and
resources, James H. Barger, Clifton
Forge attorney, declared:
When you suggest to the lawyers
of Virginia that they spend every
dollar they possess, if necessary, you
certainly evidence the fact that
you are not familiar with Virginia
politics; and you further insult me
with your implication that as one
of the members of the bar of this
commonwealth I would be a party
to such an evil political venture"
Concedirsg that Mr.. McGuire's
enthusiasm was understandable, Mr..
Barger continued:
How can you have the audacity
to advise the spending of every dol
lar one possesses and then in the
next breath proclaim that you are
deeply interested in securing, retain
ing and supporting public honesty?"
In another sidelight of the cam
paign. Commonwealth's Attorney
Watkins M. Abbitt declared in Rust
burg that the CIO-PAC effort to
defeat Senator Byrd and Repre-
sentative Smith was analogous to
the carpetbaggers' descent OH the
helpless South" In reconstruction
days.
Il predict" he asserted, that the
Democrats of Virginia will on Au-
gust 6 meet this present invasion
by the outside CIO Political Action
Committee headed by New Yorker
Sidney Hillman and that when the
ballots are counted on that great
night Senator Byrd and those of
like faith will have been nomi-
mated. ="
Martin A. Hutchinson. Senator
Byrd's primary opponent, will speak
