Battle, Edwards
Ask State Funds
For School Aid
Urge Use Of Surplus
To Meet Crisis in
Virqinio Counties
sy re Asso<io.ed Press

Two Democratic candidates for
the Virginia governorship told
voters yesterday that they favor
using surplus State funds TO meet
emergency school needs.
State Senator John S. Battle
Of Charlottesville. speaking at
Martinsville. advocated the estab-
lishment Of an equalization fund
for special treatment Of localities
who simply aren't able to help
themselves" in meeting school
needs.
Horace H. Edwards of Richmond
promised in a statement that If
elected he would ask the General
Assembly TO use the SIS, 900 900
which will remain as surplus In
the general fund at the end of the
present biennium to meet emer-
gency school needs"
At the 5th district rally In
Martinsville. Senator Battle pro-
posed that all Of the State surplus
be used for educational needs.
After the equalization fund were
set up, he said. the balance could
be distributed on an equal basis.
IF you have been progressive
and issued bonds to improve your
schools" he added, your share
could be applied on those bonds. "
Mr.. Edwards. who is advoca ting
a per cent emergency sales tax,
said:
IF elected governor. Isexpect to
ask the General Assembly, as soon
as it convenes next year. to pass
a special act authorizing the use
of the SIS 100000 which will re-
main as surplus in the general
fund at the end of the present
biennium to meet emergency
school needs. This would enable
the State to make advances to
localities such as Essex County,
which face immediate emergencies,
such advances to be repaid by the
county from future sales tax re-
ceipts."

Ia games while losing only
twice and his earned run
mark of 1.97 was one of the
best in the minors. In 1948,
with Portland in the New

peared before the second largest

It Is interesting to note that
