$4,000 budget for the next fiscal
year. The budget, If approved

Virginia Bill 10 Allow
us. Workers 10 Serve
In Elections Hits Snaq
BY q Stor Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. GA plan
to remove State constitutional
prohibition against Federal workers
serving as registrars and judges OF
elections was in such legislative
snarl today that the present session
of the General Assembly may not be
able to do anything about it.
sponsors of i Joint resolution to
carry out the proposal are. Delegates
j. Maynard <Magruder and George
Damn of Arlington, Robert j. Nc
Candlish, jr., of Fairfax, and Armi-
stead Ii Boothe of Alexandria.
They represent areas which would
be most affected by the change be-
cause of their proximity to Wash
ington.
The reason for the problem now
confronting them is that constitu-
tional changes must be approved
by two successive sessions of the
General Assembly and then by a
referendum.
Phrase Would Be Stricken.
Section 81 of the Constitution
would be amended by the resolution,
introduced January 81. The words,
registrar or judge of election"
would be stricken from the duties
prohibited to Federal workers.
Section 81 also is among the
portions of the Constitution that
would be changed by another re-
solution. Now UP for final approval
after passing the 1916 assembly.
Mr.. Magruder said he believes
there may be a way of solving the
problem but he will move today that
the resolution be rereferred to the
Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions. That committees favorable
report on the measure was made to
the House yesterday.
Committee Chairman r. B. Davis
said it may be necessary to hold off
the. plan until the next session of
the Assembly.
In that event, the question would
have to be submitted second time
in 1852 before it could 60 before the
voters.
Another Resolution Planned.
Whatever the outcome, Mr.. Ma
gruder said, he and Mr.. Damn in
tend to carry out their intention to
introduce another resolution re-
questing Congress to repeal that
portion of the Hatch Act which
prohibits Federal workers from en-
gaging in political contests.
Mr.. Damn and Mr.. Magruder will
introduce a bill this afternoon to
repeal law that requires new resi-
dents, who have not lived in the
State for a year, to pay poll tax.
Another election measure, applic-
able to Arlington alone, was intro
duced yesterday by the two delegates
from that county. 1t would amend
the 1912 law which set up central
registrar for Arlington, to permit the
county Electoral Board to appoint
an assistant registrar.
All these proposals-Federal work.
ers as election officials, amendment
of the Hatch Act, modification of
the poll tax law and an assistant
registrar-were among the campaign
proposals of the Arlington delegation
last fall.
In addition. support was promised
for that portion Of the pending reso-
luton for referendum on abolition
of the poll tax.
