For BIand's Seat
By the Asxoeioted Press

Delegate Victor P. Wilson of
Hampton bowed out yesterday as
a possible First District congress
sional candidate in the May 2 spe-
cial election but indicated he
might ofier for the regular term
lin the Democrat primary in Au-
gust.
AS the Virginia congressional
circuits began to hum, the Ninth
District Democrats named Repre-
sentative Fugate as their nominee
at district convention. And in
the Fifth District Representative
Stanley said he would be a candi-
date for reelection.
In the first. where Mr.. Wilson S
announcement cleared the politi-
cal atmosphere a bit. the special
election will be held to fill the seat
left vacant by the recent death
of veteran Representative S. Otis
Bland. The deadline for qualify
ing for this election is April /.
Deadline for filing for the August
primary is May 3.
Mr.. Wilson's withdrawal left the
field to three announced candi-
dates-William A. Wright of Tap
pahannock. State director of con-
servation and development; Blake
T. Newton of Westmoreland, presi-
dent OF the State board of edu-
cation. and E. j. Robeson, New
port News shipyard official.
But on the matter of whether
he might be considering running
for the regular term of Congress
beginning January /, Mr.. Wilson
said:
Insofar as the regular term is
concerned. in the Democratic pri-
mary of this forthcoming August,
what the future holds for us
for you and for me-remains to
be determined"
Mr.. Wilson won his seat in the
Virginia House of Delegates by
defeating Speaker of the House
G. Alvin Massenburg and his
political potency in the Hampton
Newport News area of the First
District is conceded.
Mr.. Stanley made his announce
ment at Martinsville after Fifth

meeting which approved nomi-
mating by primary rather than by
convention.

'Jinxed' Warehouse
In Anne Arundel 10
Sell tobacco Soon

j. Irving King. president of the
American Tobacco Growers Corp.
said yesterday the so far "jinxed"
auction warehouse at Waysons
Corner, Anne Arundel County,
positively" will sell tobacco this
year.
His statement was one of a Sc
ries of developments in which:
Carter F. Hall of Upper Marl-'
boro, announced that he had "en-
tirely sold OUT his interest in the
company.
Joseph L. Gardiner, former gen.
eral manager of the Maryland To-
bacco Growers Corp, confirmed
reports that he had taken over
supervision of the plant.
Addition Starts Tomorrow.
Mr.. King added that construc-
ton of a 120 by l28-foot addition
to the present warehouse will be-
gin tomorrow 1t will be COM
pleted, he said. in time for the
opening of the tobacco sale sea-
son. May 2.
The addition. he said, will be
divided so as to house two tobacco
packing plants. one to be occupied
by the w. H. Winstead Co., and
another operated by Mr.. Win
stead's son, James B. Winstead.
Mr.. Hall headed a group Of
Anne Arundel, Calvert and Prince
Georges County farmers who or
ganized the growers corporation
and built the warehouse early last
year.
Many Difficulties Encountered.
The company encountered un-
expected difficulties. The Upper
Marlboro Tobacco Board of Trade
refused to approve its member
ship application and buyers for
the big cigarette companies did
not join in the bidding. Because
Of these handicaps several at
tempts to hold auction sale failed
and finally the doors were closed
for the season.
Mr.. King, a merchant and to-
bacco grower of Davidsonville,
said the company's lack of sue
cess last year could be ascribed to
inexperienced management and
lack of packing facilities.
Other officers of the corpora
ton are Ashby Shepherd of Bris-
tol, vice president. and William
Hopkins of Upper Marlboro. treas
urer. Mr.. Hopkins wife replaced
Mrs. Carter F. Hall as the corpo-
ration secretary.

LAW TO BE
TICHTENED
Truman Makes Special Re-
quest on Congress for
Prevention Subversion

|. WASHINGTON. Aug. 8 - tR :
President Truman asked Congress
today for tighter espionage law
and a new law requiring deportable
aliens to report where they are and
what they are doing.
Mr.. Truman said additional anti
sabotage and security legislation is
needed because Communist imperi-
alism seeks to weaken and over
throw free nations by working
within their borders"
So he recommended that Con-
gress:
/. Remedy defects" in present
laws governing espionage, the re-
gistration of foreign agents and the
security of national defense install
lations."
Watch on Aliens r
2. Give the Attorney General
power to require deportable aliens
to report their whereabouts and
activities at regular intervals"
In a $500 word message to the
lawmakers, Mr.. Truman asked them
to be wary of any action limiting
personal liberty. But he said the
Bill of Rights is not intended Ito
prevent the government from main
tanning our nations integrity against
subversion or attack"
Explaining why he thinks sitter
laws and new law are needed now.
the President said the present in
ternational situation has been
created "by the rise of totalitarian-
ism-first of the totalitarianism OF
the right, and now that of the left"
Face Threat
To-day, we face most acutely the
threat of the Communist movement,
international in scope, directed from
a central source. and committed to
the overthrow of Democratic insti-
buttons throughout the world
Mr.. Truman's message appeared
to be an attempt to block any secur-
ity bill bearing a Republican label
and push through one with an adj
ministration tag.
Several measures to combat Com
munism and subversive activities are.
pending in Congress. Those most
widely known are backed by Rep.
Nixon (R-Calif) and Senator
Mundt (R-SD).
