Almond Issues Rulings
For Double Primary in
9Th Virginia District
By the Associotsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, June 12.-At-
torney General j. Lindsay Almond
has ruled that voters should stick
to their party labels in the double
primary election in the 9th Con-
gressional District August 3.
In an opinion requested by Com
monwealth's Attorney Hugh B
Marsh of Fairfax County, the At
torney General passed on number
OF questions on the conduct of the
Republican and Democratic pri-
maries which will fall on the same
day. s
In reply to Mr.. Marsh's question
whether a voter would be entitled
to ask for either a Democratic OF
Republican ballot regardless of his
former Affiliations, Mr.. Almond
ruled:
IF any person voted for the
nominees of one party in the last
preceding general election in which
he participated, he is not entitled
in my opinion, to vote in primary
held by another party. If he is not
entitled to vote in such primary
I do not think he is entitled to ask
for a ballot for such primary"
The Attorney General added, how
ever, that this seemed to be a mat
ter for the voters own conscience
and that he did not feel it was up
to election officials to ask whether
he desired Democratic or Republi-
can ballot.
On other matters pertaining to
the unique primary, the Attorney
General held:
The voting should be done in the
same room: ballots should be sep
arate, one for Democrats, one for
Republicans; a separate set of
judges should decide the winner
for each party; ballot boxes should
be separate; voters may use the
same both and the registration
book and voter list shall be managed
by a judge representing each Of the
parties participating.

Almond 10 Take Over
Prosecution Of 178 in
Virginia Lynch Case
By the Assoeioisd Press

RICHMOND, Va, June 12-Gov
Tuck yesterday directed Attorney
General J. Lindsay Almond, jr., to &c
into the Circuit Court of Buchanan
County and take over the criminal
prosecution of 178 men charged with
violating the States antilynch law
In a seldom invoked move the
Governor said he was ordering pro-
secution by the States top legal
officer because of the apparent lack
of interest by Buchanan's local law
enforcement officials.
The 178 men were indicted after
an assault upon r. L. Gillian, one
of the proprietors of the Gillian
and Hodgins strip mining operation
last April in which the operator was
seriously injured.
Blames Union Miners.
This attack, the Governor wrote
Mr.. Almond, was committed by q
group Of union miners bent upon
stopping the nonunion operation ano
intimidating the workers.
Local law enforcement agencies
offered no protection" Gov. Tuck
said, land but for the timely inter.
vention of the State Police more
serious consequences to property
and human life would have beer
wrought"
The wholesale arrests were made
he added, solely through the dill
gence of the State Police at his
direction.
The Governors action evoked nc
immediate comment from county
law enforcement officers. Sheriff
Isham Fletcher was away from his
home in Grundy and could not be
reached. The county's Common
wealth's attorney, r. E. Williams
died two days ago and no successor
has been named.
May Seek to Move Trials.
1t was learned reliably that the
Governors action contemplates the
Attorney General taking the almost
unprecedented step of seeking to
move the trials out OF Buchanan
County or, at least, getting a change
of venire-that Is, bringing jury
in from some other county of the
State.
The beginning of the trials have
been set tentatively for the July
term which opens July IL.

Yelverton, auditor of the State Build
ing Commission, and w. N. Jack
MCGEE, secretary of the Budget Com
mission. This trio has prepared the
bulk of the commissions report
which makes this comment on es-
timated revenue and expenditures.
The general expenditure total of
$9l,200,000 is based on a f%our-point
policy: Cd providing funds for all
departments and agencies sufficient
for efficient operation; (2) maintain
ing a cash serve at all times of
$5,000,000 to guard against periodic
fluctuations; (3) providing a repair,
replacement and equipment fund so
that physical properties of the state
may be kept in first class condition;
and (4) giving due consideration to
annual recurring costs of support
ing any additional Improvements.
They add that the cash balance of
$12,000,000 (using only round figures
AGAIN. plus anticipated revenue Of
$99,200,000 will mean that $111,200,
600 will be available for expenditur-
es at this session, but nc recom-nen-
dations for appropriating the S20,-
100000 over the $91,000,000 budget
of expenses is made.
In other words ii sums up like
this: the state car expect $99,200,000
from present tax laws during the
new biennium; it may expect a $12,-
100000 cash surplus making SILL
100000 cash available; against this,
it estimates that appropriations of

900, 900 cushion against periodic
fluctuations, and $15,000,000 for new
buildings and expansion, to be spent
as the legislature see fit.
For the first time, the official
budget report this time shows how
much money the various state agen-
cies and departments can anticipate
from .'other than state appropria-
oitns". This, for instance, includes
general grants to the health depart
ment, federal CT training money for
colleges, grants for school lunch pro-
grams, ETC., and the local funds
available for school operating costs.
for instance. the budget calls for
$34,225,000 appropriation for com
mon schools; it anticipates $30.200.-
900 additional available from "other
sources" mostly local taxes; giving
the common schools of the state sea-
100000 for all expense in the two
year period.
Total of all funds anticipated
"from other sources than state APP
propriation' for all agencies runs to
$77,400,O00, so that with addition
Of $91, 100000 in state funds, these
will have an overall total of funds OF
