NORTON. Va, Dec. 15.-Demo-
cratic leaders today discounted
charges that there had been voting
Irregularities in Wise County in

cause I'VE gave them q good lick
ing"
The Wise County Democrats

Earle Lutz of Richmond, executive
director Of the Republican Central
Committee Of Virginia, who said
Saturday that the COP had voted
to spend $1,000 investigating re-
ports that individuals in Wise
County had violated "at least a
half dozen" voting laws.
Declining to specify violations,
Mr.. Lutz declared:
1--WE don't know yet how true
these reports) are. and we don't
intend to get out on any limb until
we do know"
But If our investigation shows
that these charges are true, we're
not going to the Governor or to
anybody else asking for something
to be done. We're going to pros
ecute ourselves"
Democrats in the county, how
ever. said yesterday the charges of
irregularities in the election had
mo basis whatsoever"
Il don't see what they can COM
plain about" Henry M. Bandy of
Norton, Democratic delegate to the
General Assembly, declared. THE
Democrats worked hard and got
out the vote. The Republicans
didn't.
1T was hard-fought election
but the Democrats did most of the
work and got most of the votes
and they won. That's all there is
to it."
S. F. Flanary. county Democratic
chairman. said he had heard Of
no Irregularities and as far as he
knew the Republicans had no
basis for their charge,

Admiral Halsey and Gov. and Mrs
Lane weer among the guests.
After ceremonies unwilling the
bronze bust yesterday, Admiral
Halsey said:
II am naturally deeply touched
and greatly honored, very grateful
and at the same time very humble.
I like to think that this bust does
not represent mccullough it is
supposed to look like me-but rather
the lion4hearted team of men that
I had serving under me during the
war"
Mr.. Stassen turned the statue
over to the museum on behalf of
Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin Gossett Of

BY the Assoeiotsd Press


ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. 15.-The
Naval Academy Museum had a new
statue today-of Admiral William F.
Halsey, and Admiral Halsey hoped
the bronze likeness would not rep
resent him, but rather the lion
hearted team Of men that I had
serving under me during the war"
Harold E. stassen, Republican
presidential aspirant and Admiral
Halsey's former flag secretary, made
a brief address yesterday formally
presenting the statue, done by
Wheeler Williams of New York.
A former Navy captain, Mr.
Stassen said Admiral Halsey's
famed Third Fleet inflicted on the
enemy greater losses than had ever
been dealt out in all history by the
fleet of any admiral of any nation. -
And such were his qualities of
leadership through it all that a
million men still say with pride,
with affection, with respect, I
served with Halsey.'"

Power Shortage
Curling Food
-
Output Forecast
Farm Production Cut
Seen byWickord If
Utilities Fail to Act

American farmers ability to pro-
duce food for urgent domestic and
foreign needs may be- hampered
seriously unless something is done
to increase the Nations production
of electrical power, Claude r.
Wickard, rural electrincation ad-
ministrator, said last night.
He declared that the United
States faces serious shortage Of
electrical power, which Is par
ticularly crucial for rural areas and
that private power concerns are
failing to do enough about it.
Mr.. Wickard hit at what he
described as the traditional lack
OF foresight which power company
leaders have displayed In their
estimate of the potentialities OF
rural electrification."
Cites Oakes Statement.
He declared that with power
shortages appearing in every Sec
ton Of the country, Charles E.
Cakes, president OF the Edison
Electric Institute, has said that
"rumors" Of an impending wide
spread shortage Of electrical power
were "unwarranted and untrue"
Mr.. Wickard' said that 80 long as
that kind Of thinking dominates
the power company circles, it is
obvious that rural areas are going
to be severely handicapped"
The. rural electrification admin
istration chiefs statement on the
power situation was based on
special investigation of electrical
supplies made by a committee of
r. E. A engineers and power special
lists. $50.
This committee said the utilities
expansion program for correcting
the power shortage needs scrutiny.
1t said the amount of new genera
ton capacity scheduled is large, but
up to now orders for new capacity
are scarcely meeting the increase IN
demand.
Rationing Considered.
The committee confined It's in
vestigation to the II States of
Arizona, Colorado. Iowa, Kansas,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New
Mexico, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Wyoming.
The committee reported that in
some of these States and in some
others. power companies are con-
sidering rationing to cope with the
situation. In some areas, it said,
utility companies are working out
arrangements with large industrial
consumers to curtail their loads dur.
ing peak hours.
The residential and small COM
mercial consumers might not be
curtailed, although service they re-
celve may be less than satisfactory.
the committee said.
THE committee is deeply apprs-
hensive lest rural areas, many Of
which were among the first to feel
the power shortage, may be among
the last to obtain relief"
