"Diligent inquiry has failed to
uncover a shred of evidence tc
support this (Emerson's) testi-
mony."
Commissioner Ober added:
"It has become obvious that
Capt. Emerson is essentially 9
field man and none of his training
or experience equips him to dis.
charge broad executive or admin.
istrative duties.
"Henceforward the activities o.
the vice squad will be more close.

added:
"Racketeers and underworld
characters are past masters in thu
dissemination of propaganda
it is regrettable, therefore. tina
the captain in charge of the vic'

Uh|er' 0ustinq
From Electoral
Board IsAsked
Registration Books
Closed to Public,
Edwin Lynch Says

Edwin Lynch, a candidate for
reelection as Fairfax County
member of the House of Delegates,
today called for the resignation
of Edward K. Uhler as chairman
of the Fairfax County Electoral
Board for attempting to with
hold information which might af-
feet the outGem of the primary
election"
Mr.. Lynch said that Mr.. Uhler,
who also is chairman of the
County Democratic Executive
Committee. had refused to permit
citizens to copy names from regis
tration books after the books
were closed for registration pur-
poses last Saturday. These citi-
zenS. Mr.. Lynch said, wanted to
copy the names of new registrants
in order to send them campaign
literature or talk with them re-
garding the primary races.
Stresses Dual Role.
In the Democratic primary,
August z, Mr.. Lynch, who is gen.
orally associated with the anti
organization group in the State,
will be opposed by James Keith.
Fairfax attorney.
In his statement regarding Mr
Uhler, Mr. Lynch said, "it is i'm
possible for any man to serve
fairly as chairman of the Demo-
cratic committee and chairman
of the Electoral Board while tax
ing an active, partisan interest
in a primary election contest"
Attorney General Ruling.
Virginia law provides that there
shall be no registration of new
voters during 30-day period
prior to election. Mr.. Lynch said
Mr.. Uhler interpreted this "clos-
ing" of the books as meaning that
thay could not be seen by citi-
zens during this period.
A ruling of State Attorney Gen.
eral j. Lindsay Almond, jr., re-
ceived by Mr.. Lynch yesterday,
declared, however, that the regis
tration books shall be open at all
times to public inspection and
that the right of inspection, in his
opinion, carries with it the right
to copy names from the books.
