'Byrd's Endorsement
Of Battle Draws Fire
OF Three Opponents

State Senator John S. Battle,
one of four candidates for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomina-
ton in Virginia, today was con-
fronted by strong criticism from
his opponents in the wake Of the
Endorsement he received Saturday
from Senator Byrd.
Senator Byrd's Endorsement
marked the first time that he
has formally announced his sup
port of a Virginia gubernatorial
candidate since he (ByrO served
as Virginia's Governor from
1860.
Previously, as a member OF
Virginia's State Senate, he sup
ported formally the candidacy of
E. Lee Trinkle, the States chief
executive from 1925.
In Richmond, Francis Pickens
Miller, self-avowed "anti-organ-
ization" candidate for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination,
denied yesterday that he is the
"CIO candidate for Governor. "
AS he indorsed Mr.. Battle in an
address at Harrisonburg, Senator
Byrd had said the choice before
the people of Virginia was be-
tween MIR. Battle and a "CIO-
supported candidate" whom he
did not name.
Issue Is Outlined.
Senator Byrd's Harrisonburg
SPEECH" said Mr.. Miller. makes
the major issue of the campaign
crystal clear.
That issue is whether Senator
Byrd is to continue to run Vir-
ginia through the Governors
whom he appoints. We will
fight that issue through August 2.
"The CIO," Mr.. Miller con-
tinued, 'is false issue and Sena-
tor Byrd, if he knows as much
about the present campaign as he
processes, knows that it is false" T"
Mr.. Miller said he had made it
clear that he does not advocate
repeal of the States labor laws,
assailed by organized labor as be-
ing too. restrictive.
Labor Law Defended.
AS Senator Byrd Endorsed Mr..
Battle, he said the CIO was pre-
pairing to take over the State. He
attacked labor unions in general

ices, both publicly and privately

Calls for Unity of Action.
This calls for unity of pur-
pose and unity of action. Red
Feather services of the Commu-
nifty Chest Federation provide a
unified effort to help meet the
present and growing humanitarian
needs in our ever-expanding
National Capital area"
The Government unit includes
both Federal and District estab-
lishments and is one of the most
important elements in the annual
campaign to support more than
100 Red Feather services in the
Washington area.
Mr.. Tobin, former mayor Of
Boston, has been active in Chest
campaigns in that city for sew
eral years. He served as a di-
vision chairman and on the
speakers bureau in Boston cam
paigns.
Truman Letter Quoted.
In his letter appointing the
48-year-old labor secretary, Mr..
Truman said:
although the Nation has moved
forward during the past decade
in enaeting legislation to- provide
services for persons in need. there
are still many needs not covered
by these acts. Men, women and
children must continue to look to
private welfare agencies and in
stitutions to tide them over Pc
riods of crisis"
Mr.. Truman called on all Gov
ernment officials and employees to
give generously and said this ap-
peal unites all races, creeds and
social groups in a cooperative
effort to meet pressing human
needs"

mo suggestion was made that
sterling be devalued," the state
rnent said. Cutting the value OF
the pound in order to make Brit
ish goods cheaper in terms of dol

in the United States to help
Britain out of her plight

to review their policies to obtain
a wider, many-sided trade.
Britain, running out of. dollars
has been making exclusive barter
deals with countries like Argen-

Commonwealth Farley to Start.
The policies to be reviewed, un-
identified in the communicate, pre-
sumably would include such BIZ
lateral deals, dollar purchase cuts
and possibly United States tariffs
which many Englishmen claim
keep this country from earning
dollars.
The whole British Common
wealth will sift its financial pol
icies in a conference starting here
Wednesday.
Finance ministers of the seven
dominions - Canada, Australia.
New Zealand, South Africa. India,
Pakistan and Ceylon-will meet
with Cripps.
Britain's own policies will come
under the scrutiny Of Parliament
in a debate starting Thursday in
the House of Commons.
Yesterdays official statement
recognized the vital part played
by the European Recovery Pro-
gram in bolstering the economies
of Britain and other European
countries.
It reaffirmed the allegiance of
the signing powers to the aims OF
the international monetary fund.
These boil down to free, healthy
world trade.

Virginia Beauticians Plan
Sanitation Control Bill
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND. Va. July 1.-THE
Virginia State Hairdressers and
Cosmetologists Association yester-
day laid plans for legislation to
protect the customer from insani-
tary beauty parlors.
Principles of a bill discussed
during meeting here were not
announced. Spokesman said, how
ever, that the bill will be presented
to the 1850 State Legislature.
Virginia and Delaware are the
only two States in the Nation
which do not have law protecting
the customer in beauty shops from
inexpert and insanitary practices.

Reports persisted today that
hackers OF the North Atlantic de-
fense Pact may go along with a
cut in the $1,13O, 100000 arms pro-
gram for Western Europe. which
has encountered far more op-
position than the treaty itself.
Although the arms budget will
not be presented to Congress un-
til the treaty has been ratified, it
already is dominating Senate de-
bate on the pact.
Senate debate on the treaty
will reach a climax this week,
with leaders forecasting ratiflca-
ton by more than the two thirds
required vote. The vote prob
ably will come Wednesday.
A substantial number of Sena-
tors in both parties who are ready
to vote for the treaty are either
fatty against or doubtful on the
wisdom Of the arms program.
Two Issues Separated.
The two men in charge of the
treaty-Senators Connally, Dem
ocrat, of Texas and Vandenberg,
Republican, of Michgan-both
have assured their colleagues a
vote for the pact does not imply
support of the follow-up arms
program.
In the defense pact, the United
States. Canada and 10 nations of
Western Europe promise each
other that an attack against one
will be regarded as an attack
against all. The treaty, however,
leaves each nation free to take
the action it deems necessary, in
accordance with its constitutional
processes, in any given situation.
Most Senators are convinced
that the United States would go
to the aid of Western Europe to
preserve its own security, with or
without the treaty. They see in
the treaty, however, strong
psychological benefit and a deter
rent to any potential aggressor, by
giving him advance notice to that
effect.
The administration is preparing
the follow-up arms program on
the theory that stronger defenses
in Western Europe will be an even
greater deterrent to another ag-
grssor.
House to Have Voice.
Senators favoring the treaty but
opposing the arms program argue,
however, that it is wiser to con-
serve American military strength
on this side of the Atlantic until
the need arises.
Unlike the treaty. which re-
quires action by the Senate only,
the arms budget must 60 through
both branches, and probably will
start in the House.
Senators Taft, Republican, of
Ohio, and Dulles. Republican, of
New York, are waiting to speak
on the treaty in the next day or
two. Senator Taft has said he
may vote against the treaty be-
cause he fears it cannot be sep
arated from the arms program,
which he opposes. Senator Dulles
is for the treaty. but thinks the
arms program for the first year
is too big.
There are other indications
that the administration could
soften the stormy battle that
awaits the arms program by
agreeing to scale down the figures
for the first wear,
