WAYNESBORO, Va, Dec. 26.-
The way apparently was cleared to-
day for Waynesboro to become a
class city on January /.
At least the legal quandary which
temporarily baff1ed the town, Au-
gusta County court officials and the
State government seems to have
been resolved to the satisfaction of
all concerned.
1t all started Tuesday when
Waynesboro applied to Judge Flo
ridus S. Crosby of Augusta County
Circuit Court for permission to be-
come a class 2 city-a step neces-
sary before the community could
become an independent, class mu-
nicipality. The judge, however, was
not sure, he said, that he possessed
legal authority to grant such per-
mission. Town officials put in a
hurry call to Richmond for talk
with Gov. Tuck, who even then was
preparing to sign papers making
official class l status for the town,
as of January l.
The issue was not decided imme-
diately, but on Wednesday Judge
Crosby talked to the States attorney

Pressman Charges

Lee Pressman, general counsel Of
the CIO, declared today the drive
for anti-labor legislation was only
one part of "the general drive of the
monopolists ami the prof1teers di-
rected against the welfare of all
the people"
In an address prepared for de-
livery at a conference Of the
Nationql Lawyers Guild, meeting
In the willard Hotel, Mr.. Pressman
said labor is singled out in the drive
because 1t represents the strongest
organized voice Of the plain people
Of the country seeking Q more
equitable distribution of our
national product"
The CIO official asserted that
double talk" characterized much OF
the debate in Congress on pending
labor bills, and added.
"Uniformly these bills violate
basic principles. principles which
the sponsors of these bills would
not dare openly attack. Uniformly
the intent and the effect of the bills
are shrouded in general slogans,
while hypocritical lip service is paid
to the very principles which the bills
attack"
G. o. p. Program Assailed.
In a similar vein, Senator Murray,
Democrat, of Montana last night
assailed the Republican program in
Congress- program he said was
"an attempt to strengthen the pow
erful in our society at the expense
Of the mass of American people"
