Virginia Republicans
Adopt Platform for
Candidates in Fall
By the Assoeioted Press

ROANOKE, Va, Aug. 20.-The
State Republican Central Com
mittee today adopted a campaign
platform for the partys candidate :
for State Offices this fall, which
includes a demand that Virginia S
judges be kept out of politics.
The reference to judges engaged
in political activity was typical of
many of the platform planks d.
rected against existing policies in
the Old Dominion.
Twenty -four of the 80 Central
Committee members attended to-
days session. Nile Straughan,
Fredericksburg grocery executive,
was chosen to head the COP cam
paign for State Offices in Novem-
ber. and Richmond was selected
as headquarters for the campaign
drive.
Late in the afternoon the meet
ing was surprised by presentation
Of a resolution by Miss Phyllis
Otey of Richmond, vice chairman
Of the committee. calling for a
purge of party officers and COM
mittee members who assisted in
the recent Democratic primary or
old not take part in the Repub-
lican Primary August 2.
Resolution Lacks Second.
The resolution. however. died
for lack of a second. 1t was pre-
sented by A. w. Davenport OF
Richmond. who carried Miss Otey's
proxy. -
Among were the following:
Separation of State bureaus to
the fullest practical extent of law
making and judicial powers with
preservation of the right of
appeal into courts from all
judicial decisions by them.
An unrestricted" constitional
convention.
Endorsement of a policy calling
for removal of judges from all
political activity and authority to
make political appointments;
support of the right of women to
serve on juries and the direct
election of trial justices.
Protection of the public from
exploration" by creation of BIZ
partisan f1ve-member public util-
tiles commission with opposition
to Government ownership and
operation of any public utilities.
Abolition Of the State Com
pensation Board and direct elec-
ton Of school boards and welfare
boards.
Opposition to any further in
creases in taxes with a belief.

within the sanitary district. Some
who live on large farms in remote
areas of the district that would not
get sewer service may not approve
the plan. County officials have
tried to show that eventually the
entire district will benefit as more
and more sewer extensions are
made.
Other criticism has appeared in
several large housing projects that
now have sewer service. Some resi-
dents of these projects believe
there should be a greater reduc-
ton in the sewer service charge.
The loudest criticism, however.
has come from the city Of Falls
Church. About IS per cent of the
city's sewage is emptied into the
Holmes Run trunk sewer. Under
the city's present contract with
the Government, only So is charged
annually for each city home served
by the sewer. The county proposes
if it acquires the Holmes Run
sewer, to charge the city an an
nual fee averaging $3.50 a month
for each city home served.
Outside Sanitary District.
Faced with this increase, Falls
Church officials are looking into
the possibility of disposing of its
sewage in another manner. Coun-
ty officials argue that the city
should pay the same proportion
ate share for sewer service as
county users.
Falls Church residents do not
have vote in the referendum
because the city is not within the
sanitary district.
Passage of the sewer bond issue
could have an important effect
in other communities that also
empty sewage into the Potomac
River. Both Arlington and Alex
andria contribute more to the
Potomac's pollution than Fairfax.
With treatment plant, Fairfax
would be- in a strong position to
demand that the State Water
Board crack down on the county's
neighbors. Alexandria already has
been warned by the State about
pollution.

One New Polio Case
Brings D. {. Total 10
"a, Same as in '&

The District Health Department
last night reported one new case
of polio. raising the number OF
cases it has reported so far this
year to 34-the same number reg
istered in the District at this date
in 1948.
The new patient is an 8-year-
old boy living in the 300 block OF
Buena Vista terrace Sc, admit
ted to Children's Hospital yester-
day.
In addition to the "a District
cases, SIS persons have been strick-
en- this year in Alexandria and
nearby Maryland and Virginia
counties.
Virginia reported two new cases
yesterday, bringing its total tc
119 for the year.
Throughout the country, polio
took a sharp jump during the
week. increasing at a rate well
ahead of that for the near-record
year of 1948, when a total OF
about $1,000 cases were reported.
The national rate of increase
leveled off earlier this month
usually the worst of the year.
Only 3,100 new cases were re-
ported the first nine days of
August. But a sudden squirt shot
the number up to nearly 5000
for the next nine day period.
There is no uniform pattern of
behavior for the disease, accord
ing to surveys. Some large cities,
like New York and Boston. have
been hit far harder than smaller
communities and rural areas. But
Chicago and Philadelphia are in
much better shape than areas in

in that order.
From that time on, there will be
no money available for new con-
struction projects until new ap-
propriatio are obtained on July
l, 1850. Since it takes at least six
months to get a site ready for q
contractor, the department can
not plan to start on the new prof.
ects before January /, 1851.
Need Additional Bridge.
But the Commissioners now
have the departments report on
the need for an additional bridge
over the Anacostia.
Mr.. Harrison said the exact To-
cation of the bridge could not be
announced. The National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
has approved building of the
bridge on the line of Massachu-
setts avenue Sc
1t was learned, however, that
highway officials are disposed
toward building it in line with
East Capitol street. on the theory
there already are two bridges
across the southern section of the
river-Sousa and Anacostia-and
the South Capitol street span will
make third.
The Military road project con-
templates in realignment into a
dual highway of the narrow and
winding thoroughfare through
Rock Creek Park from Thirteenth
to Twenty-seventh streets.

Meanwhile. the Highway De-
partment expects to begin this fall

pected to take about a year tc
