Virginia Ruling
On Party Status
Called Vague
Voters Left in Dark
By Almond Opinion.
Hutchinson Asserts
By the Associotecj Press

RICHMOND, Va, April 26.-Vir-
ginia Democrats continued today to
debate the effect anti-organization
voting this year will have on their
party standing, despite a ruling on
the subject by Attorney General
j. Lindsay Almond, jr.
Martin A. Hutchinson of Rich
mond, leader of the party's liberal
wing, said Mr.. Almonds decision
was more notable for what it
doesn't say than for what it SAYS"
Says Status Is Left in Dark.
The attorney general held that
no Democrat is barred from par
ticipating in Democratic primaries
after the 1948 presidential election,
regardless of what presidential elec-
tors he may cast his ballot for in
that election"
Mr.. Hutchinson commented that
Virginia Democrats who choose to
vote for House and Senate candi-
dates other than those named by
the Byrd organization" are left in
the dark as to their party status.
Observing that the decision of the
attorney general is confined to the
voting for presidential electors only,
Mr.. Hutchinson said: IF it were
as legally strong as it is politically
expedient, 1t would be a landmark"
Queries Raised by Haynes.
Mr.. Almonds opinion was deliv-
cred in response to queries raised
by, Delegate Edward T. Haynes of
Richmond. The question of party
conformity stems from the recently
enacted Truman election law,
which allows the State Democratic
convention to repudiate nominees
of the National Democratic Party
and put up its own slate of presi-
dental candidates under the DEM
ocratic Party of Virginia label.
The attorney general said he had
based his decision on precedents
set by two former attorneys general,
the late John r. Saunders and
Justice Abram P. Staples of the
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals.
Mr.. Saunders gave a clean bill in
1929 to Democrats who voted for
Herbert Hoover in 1928. Justice
Staples ruled on similar inquiry
in 1899.
