Virginia Senate Group
Kills Resolution 10
Abolish Poll Tax
Committee Also Votes
Against Council Study
Of Absent Ballot Issue
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Mar. II. - The
Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions of the Virginia Senate today
killed by vote of S to the joint
resolution passed by the House of
Delegates to abolish the poll tax
as prerequisite to voting.
Also killed on the last day of
the Legislatures session was a
House joint resolution which
would have directed the Virginia
Advisory Legislative Council to
study the absent ballot question.
Details of Amended Plan.
The House poll tax repeal plan,
which was a result of the work
of the House Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections, as amended,
would have:
Eliminated the poll tax as a
voting or registration require
ment;: enabled the General AS
sembly to levy head tax. unre-
lated to voting, amounting from
$3.50 to SO, and would have re-
tanned the present permanent reg
istration system with, in effect, a
deadline of February /.
Meanwhile, the House had a
$599 million budget, with an extra
million for teachers salaries. The
Senate had a $602 million budget
after cutting out the extra mil
lion for teachers salaries. Each
insisted on having its own way. A
Conference Committee was in
prospect.
Variations in Tax Cut Bills.
Both House and Senate had
passed the Byrd conditional in
come tax reduction bill. But the
Senate bill would give income tax
credits when the general fund
revenues reach $99 million. The
House amended the bill to start
the credits at 500 million-so as
to provide a small cushion for
conditional appropriations.
And the House specifically would
have the Byrd bill in effect for only
the 1950-52 biennium. The Senate
insisted on this point. Another
Conference Committee was in
prospect.

Truman Veto Threat
Ahead Of Farm Price
Support Measure
Tentative Compromise
Reached, but Monday
Conference Is Needed
BY the Associated Press

Senate-House efforts to compro-
mise differences over 1850 farm
price supports bumped into
prediction today of presidential
veto.
Conferees yesterday reached
tentative agreement on the multi
million dollar price prop program
for potatoes, cotton. peanuts and
wheat.
However, Senate Democratic
Leader Lucas of illinois told a
reporter he is confident President
Truman will veto the reported
compromise. if it ever reaches his
desk.
Another Vote Due Monday.
The agreement is subject to an
other closed conference and vote
Monday because Senator Lucas
and some other Senate conferees
were absent from yesterdays
meeting.
During Senate action on the
farm bill Senator Lucas failed in
an effort to bar price props on this
years potato crop unless farmers
accepted rigid production controls.
The Senate did agree to apply
this provision to future potato
crops.
Conferees reported this provi-
sion had been knocked out by the
Conference Committee in favor of
much'milder controls over 1850 and
1851 potato crops eligible for price
supports.
Other Tentative Agreements.
Other tentative agreements we're
said to include:
/. Addition of 100000 acres of
cotton that could be eligible for
price supports this year.
2. Addition of 850,0o0 acres Of
Wheat-chlef1y In dry western or
dust bowl" States-to qualify for
price supports.
8. Addition of 100000 acres of
peanuts that could qualify for
price supports.
4. Instructions to the Secretary
of Agriculture to pay freight costs
on surplus potatoes given away
to unsupported institutions, or
moved to ports for export sales at
whatever price could be obtained.
The compromise appeared to
accept the more liberal provisions
of both the Senate and House
bills. Originally the House bill
dealt only with extra acres of
peanuts and cotton to handle
hardship cases." where the con-
troll program reduced acreage on
these crops this year.
Several Senators told a reporter
they would refuse to sign the
conference report. Four lawmak-
ers could thus halt agreement on
the legislation.

Proposal for New Code
AssoiIed by Builders
D. Al-I~I
By Malcolm Lomborne

So many spectators showed up
today for the Montgomery Coun-
ty Councils hearing on a new
road construction code that the
meeting twice recessed to move
into larger quarters.
Finally, after both the council
chambers and circuit courtroom
at Rockville had been found in
adequate, the crowd trooped for
several blocks to the Rockville
High School gymnasium.
After Council President Frederic
P. Lee opened the meeting in the
council chambers, nearly 500 in
tensely interested residents and
potential home owners crowded
into the courthouse. Even after
the quick change to the court
room, they were overfowing into
the corridors.
Many Want to Testify.
With more than a score of per-
sons wishing to testify, Mr.. Lee
said the hearing may be carried
over until Monday if all have not
been heard by late today.
The proposed ordinance, as
drawn up by the county commits
sioners, would require sidewalks,
curns, cutters, trees and street
signs in new subdivisions.
It also would halt use of bank
run" gravel on roads and replace
it with asphaltic concrete. The
code also provides for 28-foot
wide streets.
The code has drawn the fire of
many builders who contend it
would put the price of low income
housing beyond the reach of the
average family, since builders
would not be able to absorb the
added expenses.
Papageorge Testifies.
George Papageorge, director of
the county's Department of Public
Works, was the first witness.
Obviously anticipating objec-
tions from later witnesses, Mr..
Papageorge declared that the pro-
posed code does not require that
streets be redone Immediately at
the whim of the council"
Each street will be handled on
its own merits. he promised.
The county official started out
his detailed testimony by pointing
out that rapid suburban growth
