RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 4.-Franci
Pickins Miller has made quick re
ply to a charge that he used por
tion of State Senator John S
Battles platform in the curren
State Democratic gubernatoria
nomination race.
The candidate said in Albemarle
last night:
Il note that Sidney S. Kel-
lam accuses me of stealing Candi-
date John S. Battles school plat
form. A comparison of my an
nounced policy for the public school
system and Senator Battles pub
lished statement is sufficient COM
ment on Kellam's charge.
Senator Battle himself would
never dream of trumping up q
charge of thievery to confuse the
public and belittle the position OF
an honorable opponent But some
members of the crew working for
him do not share his compunctions. -
Mr.. Kellam, chairman of Senator
Battles State Campaign Committee,
had said:
II am delighted to learn that Mr..
Miller has Endorsed the principles
of Senator Battles school platform,
as announced last week and
I hope he will continue to support
the Battle platform as it is pre-
sented to the public"
Mr.. Miller's speech at Sedley in
cluded these platform planks:
The State should pay for a salary
schedule geared to a minimum of
50 900 yearly for holders of collegiate
professional teachers certificates.
The State should help equalize
school facilities by establishing a
fund for worthy localities which,
having done their part. are yet un-
able to meet their building needs.
These can be done without any
new State taxes in the mex four
