kin, Charles Alfred, John Pearson
Jim A1dridge, Rayford Wilmington,
Buddy Walden, Bob Boshaven, Gene

facing the coaches at present is that
of replacing Carlton Ables. All-State
center for the past two seasons.
Presently, three candidates are
fighting it out for the pivot spot.
The three candidates are: Reece
Henninger. Hess Curry, and Keith
Johnson. Tommy Nix, end, is the
senior member of the 1948 Holmes
squad, having played here in 1916,
as a member of the A. H. S. and
played last season as a freshman
He should be one of the outstand-
ing wingmen of the conference this
season. Clayton Wood, best known
at Holmes as a stand-out basket
baller last season, will be a much
improved end this season. Support

Virginia 5 sec
Refuses Probe
Of Two Papers
Commission Finds
1t Locks Power to
Conduct Inquiry
BY The A,soeieied Press

RICHMOND, Va, April 1.-The
State Corporation Commission has
decided 1t is without authority to
conduct an investigation Of Rich
mond Newspapers, Inc, as directed
in a resolution Of the House Of
Delegates. :.
The commission advised Gov.
Tuck and the clerks of the House
and Senate Of the decision in a
letter yesterday. The sec said the
investigation was not within the
orbit of the general jurisdiction of
the commission which, therefore,
would have to consider that 1t was
constituted a committee by the
House for the purpose of making the
investigation.
This being the case, it is essential
in our opinion to consider at the out
set the extent Of our authority to
conduct such an investigation" the
sec said. Tn dealing with this
problem, we must recognize that
this resolution Is not a direction of
the General Assembly of Virginia,
which under section 40 of the con-
stitution of Virginia possesses the
legislative power of the State, but
is rather a mandate of a single
branch thereof, namely the House
of Delegates.
Resolution Quoted.
"It is also true that the resolu-
tion directs an investigation and
report to be made after adjourn
ment sine die Of the House of Dele
gates.
"In view of these facts and after
an examination of authorities bear
ing upon the question presented, we
are clearly of the opinion, which
opinion appears to be supported by
the overwhelming weight of au-
thority, that insofar as the resolu-
ton, aforesaid, attempted to be op-
erative after the adjournment of the
General Assembly, it is without
force and effect and, accordingly, we
are powerless to comply with its
direction"
Delegate Samuel Swanson of
Pittsylvania, offered the resolution
to the House after the two Rich
mond newspapers had criticized
legislative action editorially. Both
the Times-Dispatch and the News
Leader were critical of the House
voting its members an extra $500
per member as an expense allow
ance as well as various other
measures.
Resolution Fails.
An effort was made tc rescind the
resolution in the Asserably's con-
structive session" Tuesday, but
there was no quorum. sYf>
Assistant Attorney General Wal
ter Rogers had no official comment
and indicated there would be none
from the attorney generals Office
until Representative Almond, Demo-
crat, of Virginia. takes the oath of
Office as attorney general.
Representative Almond has an
nounced he would. resign from
Congress about the middle of April
to become attorney general of Vir-
ginia. He was elected at the re-
cent session of the General As
Sembly.
