Group Seeks Poll
Tax Repeal

RICHMOND (ANP) Outright
repeal of Virginia's poll tax re-
ceived additional support this
week with the formation of an
Arlington county branch of the
Virginia Right to Vote League.
Headed by liberal Democrats
James Franklin and Albert A.
Caretta, the league seeks to de-
feat of the poll tax repeal con-
stitutional amendment on which
Virginians will vote Nov. 8. The
amendment would give the Gen
.eral Assembly "black check"
power to set up annual registra-
ton and other voting requirements
with no constitutional restrictions.
The non-partisan league, which
will draw it's membership from
Democrats, Republicans and indie
dependents, has arranged to sup
ply opposition speakers for civic
meetings. COP House Of Delegates
candidate I. Lee Potter charged,
machine Democrats in the Gen,
eral Assembly do not want the
poll tax repealed. So they bring
up something so full of double
talk and hidden meaning that
even they don't know all it's rami-
fications."
Although the league is pledged
to work for outright poll tax re-
peal with no strings attached
there was no indication when such
a measure might be placed on the
ballot.
