Virginia Democrats
To Decide Today on
Support Of Stevenson
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

RICHMOND, Aug. 28.-V Vir.
|ginia's Democratic Central Conn
mittee. still minus any official word
from the States "big three" meets
here today to consider its course
regarding the national party ticket
of Adlai Stevenson and John
Sparkman.
Most observers predicted the
committee would give lukewarm
approval to the national ticket
without going out of its way to
influence Virginia voters one way
or the other.
Former Gov. william M. Tuck.
now State party chairman, said
this week he would have no rec
concentrations to make to the
committee.
If the committee does this, IL
will be following the lead Of q
number of prominent off1ce-hold-
ing Democrats in the State who
have declared for the national
Democratic candidates. These in-
clude Senator Robertson and Rep
resentatives Gary. Abbitt, Burton.
Hardy and Harrison.
No Word From Byrd.
Ex-Gov. Tuck, along with Vir-
|ginia's two other top party leaders,
Senator Byrd and Gov. Battle, had
prior to today's meeting taken no
stand on the presidential race.
Mr.. Tuck had indicated he
might be ready to declare him.
self today on the subject. He said
Tuesday he might issue personal
statement after the committee
meeting.
A spokesman for the Democrats

his group might have an observer

expected to be relatively brief.
In 1948, with the new election

is that he has unlimited money
to spend for his campaign"

Although Mr.. Campbell launched
his campaign by issuing state
ments, it will formally begin Sep
tember 8 when he and Mr.. Broy-
hill are scheduled to debate issues
before the Falls Church Chamber
of Commerce.
His statement was timed just
before the Democratic State Gen.
trail Committee met today in Rich
mond.
Mr.. Campbell said he hoped the
committee would indorse the Ste
venson-Sparkman ticket. So far.
Senator Byrd, Gov. Battle and
State Party Chairman William M.
Tuck have refrained from indors-
ing any one but Senator Robertson
and five of Virginia's nine House
members have come out for the
national slate.
"From q study Of Gov. Steven
