a Fairfax Candidates
For Assembly Hit
Tax Reduction Law

Fairfax County's four Demo-
cratic candidates for the General
Assembly today were in agreement
that Virginias so-called tax re-
duction bill is bad legislation.
One of them-State Senator
Andrew w. Clarke, who seeks re-
nomination in the August pri-
mary-voted for the Byrd bill at
the last Assembly session.
The law. sponsored by State
Senator Harry F. Byrd, jr. of
Winchester. makes possible a 20
per cent reduction in this falls
tax bills because of revenues in
excess of 500 million received be-
fore the close of the last fiscal
year.
The attitude of the candidates
was made known in a question
Iand-answer period that followed
their appearance last night at the
Oakton School. The meeting was
one of a series sponsored by the
Fairfax County League of Women
Voters.
Called Wrong i'm Principle.
IT didn't think it was a good
law in the beginning" Senator
Clarke said. II voted for the bill
but I think 1t is wrong in princi-
pie"
His opponent, John A. K. DON
ovan, said the tax reductions will
save the average person only a
few dollars but will provide thou
sands of dollars return for big
corporations. For this reason, he
said, he opposes the law because
the State needs money for criti-
cal problems involving schools
and mental institutions.
Delegate Edwin w. Lynch,
seeking denomination. said he
voted against the Byrd bill. He
predicted that the Governors aid
to the localities in school con-
struction through the so-called
Battle fund" would be forced
out of existence because of the
loss of revenue from the tax re-
duction measure.
James Keith, who opposes Mr.
Lynch for the House nomination
said he would have voted against
the bill, too. He predicted its
repeal at the next session.
Ballot Challenged.
Earlier, Delegate Lynch de-
clared he believed the Fairfax
County primary ballot is being
prepared Illegally. 4
Asked later for clarification OF
his remarks, he said the law re-
Iquires the ballots to be prepared
uniformly. He said he has re-
|ceived information that in the
Senat- race and in the Common
wealth's attorneys race, the
names of the incumbents appear
frSt out IN the House OF Delegates
contest. the name of Mr.. Keith
appears before his own. This
shows, he contended, that the
names are neither being listed
with the incumbent first nor in
alphabetical order.
Other speakers last night were
G. Wallace Carper. chairman of
the Board of Supervisors who
seeks denomination from Provi-
dence District, and his opponent,
Guy M. Bayes; C. B. Runyon,
seeking denomination as super
visor from Falls Church District,

Uranium Searth Concluded by
 U.S. Geo. Survey

DENVER, Sept. 27--LR-The U. s. Geological Survey reported Saturday night that nationwide hunt for ur- anium has been quietly conducted from its Denver offices.
 These other developments also were reported by G.. D. Robinson, acting chief of the surveys general geology branch, and Lincoln B. Page, geologist in charge of the surveys reconnaissance section.
 1.-Progress has been made in predicting volcanic eruptions by research in Denver and field work in Hawaii and the Aleutians.
 2.-The work shows possibilities that old craters, lava flows and outbreaks may be linked to badly needed defense-vital deposits of copper, lead, zinc and even uranium.
 3-An corresponding tidal wave warning network has been created around the shores of the Pacific.
 Robinson said the survey is study ing rock specimens from all over the nation in an effort to pinpoint needed ore deposits that can not be readily detected from surface structures.
 A small band of government geo. logists at the Denver federal center, spokesman said, may have the answer to the volcano-tidal wave disasters plaguing the Hawaiian and Aleutian islands.
 They predict volcanic outbursts and form part of an cean-spanning tidal wave warning network.
 With bases in Hawaii and tbe AL eutians. the volcano scientists have accurately predicted the time and place of two eruptions in Hawaii and narrowly missed another.
 Robinson said the Geological Sur vey cooperates with private and Coastal Geodetic Survey outposts in the tidal wave warning network.
 It spans the Pacific and flashes the word of undersea tremors that send tidal waves rolling down on the Hawaiian Island from as far north as deep trench off the AleHian Islands, Robinson said.
