Byrd Calls for Probe

Employees Overseas
BY the Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 12.-Sen.
ator Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia
today called for "a thorough in.
vestigation" of overseas Federal
civilian employees, with an eye to
reducing their number.
Senator Byrd returned yesterday
from what he said was "only a
hunting trip" on the estate of
Bernard Baruch, near Kingstree,
S. c. Also present on the Baruch
plantation was Senator Taft, Re-
publican, of Ohio.
Senator Byrd told the Richmond
News Leader by telephone today
that the hunting was very good.''
He declined to say whether he dis
cussed politics with Senator Taft
and Mr.. Baruch, both also noted
for their strong views on Govern
ment economy.
Referring to the overseas en-
ployes, Senator Byrd said lit ap-
pears there are too many. There
ought to be a thorough investiga-
tion to eliminate those that are
unnecessary" he added.
He cited a report recently pre-
pared by the Joint Committee on
Reduction of Non-essential Fed
eral Expenditures, of which he is
The report showed that 27
civilian agencies of the Federal

Campbell Requests
Recount in Virginia S
10Th District Election

A recount of votes cast in Vir.
ginia's 10th District congressional
race has been asked by Edmund
D. Campbell. defeated Democrat,
nominee in the November elec.
ton, it was announced today.
Chairman Boggs of the Specia
House Committee to Investigate
Campaign Expenditures said h,
received the request and will pre-.
sent it to his committee at 1926
am. Tuesday.
Mr.. Campbell. who lost to Re.
publican Joel T. Broyhill by 322
votes, according to the official
tally. based his request on a sur
vey of the 10th District balloting
made by James R. Naughton oi
the Democratic National Congress
sional Committee.
No Fraud Suspected.
Mr.. Naughton's findings were
included in a letter sent by Mr.
Campbell Wednesday to the COM
mittee chairman. The findings
were:
l.. There is a substantial posi-
bility that a number of honest
Ierrors were made in counting and
totaling votes for Congress;
2. There is definite evidence
indicating that a number of valid
ballots for Congress may have
been declared void by mistake.
8. There is a substantial pos
sibility that sufficient errors were
made in counting and totaling
ballots and in failing to count
valid ballots to change the result
Of the Congressional election.
Mr.. Campbell said he asked the
committee to conduct the recount
because Virginia law makes no
provision for a recount of votes
in Congressional election. He
said he is confident there was
no fraud or intentional miscon-
duct on the part of public officials
or candidates"
Mr.. Campbell's assertion that
Virginia law makes no provision
for a recount of votes cast in a
congressional election was ampli
fled today by State Senator John
A. K. Donovan, Falls Church at
torney, who said he received a
written opinion from Virginia's s
attorney general, j. Lindsay AL
mond, on the subject.
The ruling said there is no pro-
vision for the recount after a can
didate has been certified as the
winner. Prior to the certification
of the vote a recount may be
granted.
Major emphasis in Mr.. Naugh-
tons analysis of the $4,000 votes
cast centered on returns from
Fairfax and Alexandria. In the
latter community, he was unable
to examine poll books, because
they were sealed up with the
ballots. AS a result, he was not
able to determine the number of
ballots that were voided.
Paper Ballots Predominant.
These two communities and
Falls Church used paper ballots,
while Arlington. the fourth COM
munity in the 10th District, used
voting machines.
Mr.. Naughton said he found
evidence that "a substantial num-
ber Of legal ballots for Congress
may not have been counted in
the mistaken belief that they were
void" This resulted because "in-
experienced persons were hastily
pressed into service to help handle
the counting and did not
have clear idea of which ballots
were valid and which were void"
Other factors cited by Mr.
Naughton as conducive to honest
errors" were: A record vote. use
OF paper ballots, with Fairfax
voters getting five separate bal
lots and Alexandria voters get
ting four separate ballots and,
