Data on Issues
By Alex R. Preston

LEESBURG, Va, Oct. 26.-OnlS
negative type of campaign has
been offered the voters of Loudour
County to prepare them for the
Statewide election and consti-
tutional amendment referendum
less than two weeks from now
In neighboring Prince William
County. the voters have had even
less information on which to base
an opinion.
Both here and in Prince Will
liam the candidates for the House
of Delegates are Democrats and
each is unopposed. The all-im-
portant State Democratic primary
is out of the way and every one
knows that the Democratic nomi-
nees for Governor, lieutenant-go
ernor and attorney general, will
follow tradition and carry both
counties.
Here, as in most other sections
of the State, the subject discussed
most is the proposed constitu-
tional amendments to abolish the
poll tax. There is no organized
support or opposition in Prince
William County but the refer
endum is being assailed in LOU
doun by WilbuS c. Hall, former
chairman of the State Conserva-
ton Commission, who also is a
prominent lawyer and political
figure.
Little From Other Side.
Other than Mr.. Halls negative
approach to the referendum ques-
ton. the voters have had little
offered them from the other side
of the question. Mr.. Hall has been
heard from by such organizations
as, the Purcellville Lions Club,
he has been quoted by the county
newspapers and at tbs o'clock
tonight he will carry his fight on
the air over station WIND in
Frederick, Md.
1t is Mr.. Halls brother, Stilson
H. Hall. who is the unopposed
Democratic candidate for the
House of Delegates to continue a
succession of terms which began
in 1916. The candidate, Incl
dentally. supported State Senator
John S. Battle, the successful
nominee, for Governor in the
August primary. His brother,
Wilbur, supported Francis Pickens
Miller for Governor.
In Prince William County,
Frank p. Moncure of Stafford is
the unopposed candidate to sue
coed himself in the House of Dele-
gates Mr.. sMoncs,f served In
the House ins 1886 and1s38 and
continuously SINCE 1913.
State Senator Andrew w.
Clarke of Alexandria represents
Prince William County IN the up
per branch of the General Assem-
bly, and also is without opposition.
There is an indication that an
effort will be made in Loudoun
to change from the supervisor to
the county executive or county
manager form of government
after the November election. Re-
ports are that the League of
Women Voters will back a drive
for petitions to the court to order
q referendum early next year.

Councilman Marshall J. Beverley
sought to have cotnnittee ap,
pointed to study tl1es need 70,
expanding the jail and the police
headquarters lookup. He said
recurring overcrowding had caused
premature release of prisoners and
that the police headquarters lock-
up sometimes had as many as six
men in one cell.
Councilman Roy Bragg said the
Council was aware the Jail is over
crowded because the city jail
commission after a recent inspec-
ton recommended enlarging it. He
pointed out the jail commission
had found the Jail satisfactory as
to cleanliness. food and other
items. He said another survey by
a Council Committee would not
help any because conditions al
ready are known.
Ancell Expects Early Action.
City Manager Guy Ancell said
the State has been. considering
construction of regional jails
throughout the State. He said he
would not be surprised to see the
next session Of the legislature take
action to build such jail for the
Alexandria, Fairfax, Arlington and
Falls Church area. This would
permit sentenced city prisoners to
serve their terms in the regional
jail, freeing space at the city's jail
for overnight lookup purposes
and for prisoners awaiting trial,
he added.
Mayor Franklin P. Backus
named members to the Annexa-
ton Committee authorized by
Council last August. The COM
mittee. headed by Councilman
Albert A. Smoot. will include Ed
ward j. Kelly, Planning Commits
sion member; Mrs. Irene Pancoast
of the Business and Professional
Women's Club. Edward Holland,
representing the Chamber of
Commerce; Mr.. Ancell. City Attor-
ney v. Floyd Williams and City
Engineer Luckett Watkins. The
committee will study the advisa-
bility Of Alexandria seeking to
annex adjacent Fairfax County
territory.
Reports at Each Meeting.
On motion of Mr.. Bendheim, the
council decided to receive COM
mittee reports alta each meeting.
Mr.. Bendheim said this would
keep councilmen informed on the
progress of the various commit
tees. The city manager was in
structed to report at the next
council meeting on how city de-
partments are complying with the
councils request to cut down ex-
penseS.
The council allocated $37, $50
from the bond fund for improve

Farm~Labor Alliance
Can Repeal Taft Law
BY Bradford v. Carter,
LPA COlumnist

AT FIRST glance it may seem far cry from
"A labors defeat in key Taft-Hartley repeal
votes in the Senate last week to the recent
Democratic -farmer-labor conference at Des
Mones, Iowa The fact is however, that
few more moves along the lines of the Des
Mones conference can reverse the Senates
anti labor decision.
All Democratic Senators from northern and
central states voted for labor on both the trials.
Many of them are sincerely pro-union in their
thinking. The rest know that without the sup
port of the unions in their heavily industrial
lied states they haven't chance of reelection.
The Democratic Senators from the tradl-
tionally agricultural states of the southwest,
the Rocky Mountain area, and the tier of states
just west of the Mississippi all came through
for labor too. In many of these states the num-
Der of industrial workers has sharply increased
in recent years And labor's political action
leagues have been getting these non-farm vot-

1t was the northern part of this great west
central area that was represented at the Des
Moines conference last month. Purpose of the
meeting was to whip up support for Agricul-
ture Secretary Charles Brannans farm income
support program,
But Democratic party leaders are keenly
aware of the political dynamite in the Bran
nan program. For unlike previous agricultural
programs Brannan's also aims at reducing food
prices to the urban consumer 1t Is made-to-

alliance that has been developing in the CEN
trail states
The strength of this coalition accounts for
the pro-labor voting not only of fairly con-
servative Democrat like Sen Guy Gillette OF
Iowa, but for the anti-Taft votes of Republi-
can Edward Thye of Minnesota, and the newly
split personality of reactionary Sen. Homer
Capehart (R, Ind), too.
It explains why two conservatives like Sen
ators Tydings and OConor of Maryland tipped
their hats to labor by voting for us once, and
against us once on the two tests. And why Ken
tucky's Senators divided one pro and one anti
labor. The process of industrialization has been
slower in the border states" but it's under
way, and so is the formation of the farmer
labor coalition.
Very vulnerable indeed are the two Mis-
souri, Republican Senators who are voting con-
sistently against labor and the latest political
expression of their constituents. Neither of
these labor-haters was up for reelection in
1948 Last year the state went overwhelm-
ingly Democratic, and all the Missouri Demo-
Gratis in the lower house have anti-Taft- Hartley
records
A concreted drive by the unions, progress
sive minded local farm organizations and the
national Democratic party can purge" the
reactionaries left in the Democratic ranks in
the border states" and easily retire the Re-
publicans.
Some careful attention to the deep south"
can change the picture there too. Even now
seven Democratic Senators are voting against
Taft-Hartley while IT are still for it.
Last weeks Senate vote was clearly de-
feat for our side But it shouldn't be discour-
aging. The 1947 Senate was a 81 to II Taft
Hartley body, while this years Senate is al
most evenly divided. A few more carefully
planned Des Moines conferences can swing the
balance our way in the 1850 elections.

1LEAR FACT is that Taft
" Hartley Act will not be re-
pealed in 1949.
Clear fact is also that labor
and liberals in Congress fought
hard and we'll for Taft-Hartley
repeal this year-and lost.
But bear in mind that margin
of defeat was much, much
smaller than in 1947-another
four or five pro-labor votes in
the Senate would have defeated
the notorious Dixiegop collation.
which stands in way of so much
legislative progress.
In 1947, liberals mustered
only 25 Senate votes to sustain
President Truman's veto of
Hartley Act.
In 1949, liberals mustered
from 40 to Al votes on key votes
in Senate.
Pro-Taft- Hartleyites had be-
tween 46 and So votes on those
same key issues.
There were four principal
votes at which workers will take
a good many looks between now
and 1850.

ft-Hart1ey law"
Senator Taft, in his enthusi-
asm for his own anti-union
amendments, made few state
ments he'll hear more about in
the years ahead. Paste these
Taftisms in your hat for future
reference:
"It seems to me that injunc-
tion is the only thing that really
will stop strikes" e
9. In any remedy, think
injunction is an essential
weapon.
And a few minutes later, on
the Senate floor, Taft was pious-
ly deriding "the argument of
labor that in some way, injunc-
ton is looked upon as anti
labor"
Everybody, obviously, is
wrong except Mr.. Taft.
What happens now to labor
legislation is still a question
mark.
Senate has passed the Taft
edition of aft-Hartley. House
technically hasn't passed any
thing, since Wood Bill was re-
committed to the Labor Com
mittee. It's doubtful whether
House will act on bills for sew
eral weeks, if then.
