luck Asks Virginia Hearing
On House Poll Tax Bills
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, July Gov Tuck
has written Representative Gamble.
Republican, of New York, chairman
Of the House Subcommittee on
Elections, requesting that Virginia
be given an opportunity to be heard
on several poll tax bills now under
consideration.
The attorney general or some
other official spokesman OF the Com
monwealth will join in opposition
to the proposed national legislation,
the Governor said
This does not mean" Gov Tuck
added, that the State is opposing
the principle of abolishing the poll
tax. We are opposing the principle
of having the Federal Government
by legislation or Constitutional
amendment decide upon the quail
f1cations of voters in Virginia. We
think that each State should con-
tinue to be the judge of the quail
fications of its own electors as is
now provided in the Constitution. "
A Virginia constitutional amend
ment to abolish the poll tax as a
prerequisite to voting in all State
and Federal elections has passed one
General Assembly and will be con-
sidered again in the session of l948.

County Circuit Court
To Continue Policy
In Adoption Cases

There will be no change in the
policy of the Montgomery County
Circuit Court in appointing State
probation officers to investigate
adoption cases.
This was stated yesterday by
Judges Charles w. Woodward and
Stedman Prescott at hearing in
the Rockville Court House in which
the Adoption Committee OF the
Montgomery County Community
Chest and Council urged the court
to utilize trained social workers in
this field.
The hearing followed criticism
from several organizations of the
present investigation procedure.
Calls Setup Efficient"
1--WE are all working for the same
end the Judges said; "and you can
rest assured that the children will
be completely and thoroughly pro-
tected. 1t is matter of using a
setup that has been working with
the court for years and that is COM
pletely efficient"
Miss Margaret McGregor. assist
ant director of the Community
Chest and Council, emphasized that
the experience of social workers in
child welfare work would be helpful
to the court.
IF the State probation officers
are swamped with work" Miss Nc
Gregor asserted. I'VE will be happy
If the court enlists the services Of
social workers"
A similar appeal was made by
Mrs. Durward v. Sandifer, a men,
Der of the Adoption Committee.
Quizzed on Information.
When asked by Judge Woodward
what additional information could
be brought to the courts attention
by welfare workers that could not
be brought by State probation OFF,
GERS, Mrs. Sandifer said:
II don't know, but social workers
have been doing these things for
years. There has been great deal
of information that has been COL
lected by social workers and I would
think it would not be necessary to
get the same information from a
second source"
Judge Woodward pointed out that
the State probation officers ap-
pointed by the court have been
making presentence investigations
in the county for many years.
Mrs. Dorothy Kurtz, executive sec
retary Of the County Welfare Board
said there is no desire on the part
of the board to have It's services
used unless the court expresses such
