Broyhi|I, Campbell

Tonight at Mclean

Joel T. Broyhill and Edmund
ID. Campbell will resume their de-
bate in Mclean tonight, after a
spirited exchange last night be-
fore the Fairfax County Business
and Professional Women's Club.
Mr.. Broyhill. Republican, and
MIR. Campbell. Democrat, ad-
dressed an audience of 65 in the
Antioch Church, Vienna. They
are candidates for the new 10th
District seat in Congress in the
November 4 election.
Both contenders refrained from
the PERSONAL attacks that have
marked some of their speeches
since the campaign opened.

Mr.. Broyhill. however, injected
a personal plea. He said Novem-
ber is his birthday. and he in
vited the ladies to wish him a
happy birthday by voting for him.
Repeats Pledges.
The G. o. P. candidate repeated
his pledges to work for reduced
taxes, banishment of waste and
elimination Of corruption, if he is
elected. He warned that one of
the greatest threats to our form
of government is citizens apathy.
ut will take the concern of mil
lions -of people to save our lib
critics" he declared.
To help Virginia localities meet
their cost Of government, Mr..
Broyhill said, he favors payments
by the Federal Government in lieu
of taxes for land which it owns.
MIR? Campbell said he had not
heard Mr.. Broyhill mention re-
pealing any of the laws passed by
the Democrats in the last 20 years.
The leader of Mr.. Broyhill's party.
the Democratic candidate said,
"has indorsed, almost in toto, the
Democratic program.
Lists Laws as Beneficial.
The Democratic Party, Mr..
Campbell said, has recognized the
necessity to implement our free
enterprise system with laws to-
give a well-rounded economy and
la high level of prosperity. He
cited the social security law, Sc
curities and exchange legislation
and the farm program as ''stabil-
izing influences in good years
and bad years."
Mr.. Campbell also declared that
his party has met the threat
of aggressive communism. The
policy of resistance to aggression,
he said. is fulfilling the program
of "a great Virginian now COM
ing into his own-Woodrow Viii

Campbell said, "can see freedom

Let's Get Out the Vote
Citizens Show Big-Fight Interest in BoI|otino

lis the often-heard supposition that
"a single ballot, especially in a
county. is hardly worth the bother
of going to register and to vote.
A variation of that view was
expressed in q card from an
Arlington woman. She observed
that the electoral system is 'very
confusing" and that many people
think the personal vote does not
count because of this"
The electoral system has so
many modern-day critics that it
eventually may give way to a di-
rect popular election arrangement.
1t nevertheless is not a system of
wasting individual votes. Nor is
it necessarily unrepresentative or
undemocratic.
In the case Of Maryland. with
its nine electoral votes for the 1852
presidential election, the vote of
every individual citizen could have
a highly important bearing. It is
possible that nine electoral votes
might mean the difference in an
exceedingly close election or in
throwing an election into the
House Of Representatives.
194S Tally Recalled.
Such comparatively small
number of electoral votes in Mary
land hinged on only about $500
votes out Of sos. 900 in Maryland
in 1948. That was the slim ma
jority by which Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey carried Maryland four years
ago. That was roughly less than
400 votes for each of the 23 coun-
ties in the State.
An even more impressive proof
Of the importance of the indi-
vidual vote can be found in the
approximately 2,200-vote margin
by which Senator O'Conor won in
1916. Similar instances on a
smaller scale could be cited to
show how the turnout of d few
more votes in Arlington, Fairfax,
Prince Georges and Montgomery
counties in 1948 and 1850 would
have changed the result of tallies,
particularly on local issues.
The only vote that is completely
lost in an election is the vote
which. because of indifference, in
ertia, cynicism or hopelessness, is
never cast.

Special Session

On Redistricting
After Petitions

Gov. Battles call for a special
session Of the General Assembly
December 2 eliminates a six
month effort led by Delegate
Armistead L. Boothe Of Alexan-
dria.
Mr.. Boothe had urged a special
session for rediStricting ever since
the 1852 session adjourned with
out rearranging the legislative
districts. He circulated a petition
which majority of his fellow law
makers signed in behalf of q
special session.
The Governor acted, however.
only after members of both houses
replied to letters he sent each of
them asking their opinion in the
matter. Gov. Battle said q "clear

In favor Of a special session. He
said IS per cent want to consider

measures.
The Governor also had received
an opinion from Attorney General
j. Lindsay Almond, jr., holding
that the State constitution re-
quires the Legislature to redistrict
Senate and House seats this year
Pressure for Other Bills.
When the Legislature convenes
in Richmond, there undoubtedly
will be pressure from various
sources for consideration of other
matters. One possibility is pro-
posed legislation to give Federal
employees living in Arlington the
right to hold local Office. A State
Supreme Court decision on Sep
tember 10 ruled them ineligible.
State Senator Charles R. Fen
wick. who had favored the extra
session, said he doubts that ac-I
ton can be taken on the Fed
eral employees plan.
"If it can be DONE" Senator
Fenwick said, I'm in favor of
doing it,"
Gov. Battle said that, until the
General Assembly has met and
indicated its wishes in regard to
consideration of other matters, "II
don't believe it would be ap-|
propriate for me to comment on
other possible matters for con-
sideration. although of course, if
any matter of vital Importance
should arise, I'm sure the As

It,"
Nearby Areas to Gain.
Nearby Virginia areas, which
have increased greatly IN popula-
tien since 1910, are expected to
gain more representation from re-
diStricting.
A number Of redistricting meas
ures were introduced in the Legis-
lature last winter, but the only
ones that emerged from commit
tee were token plans, little more
than q gesture in the direction Of
reapportionment.
The problem is politically ex-
plosive in that it affects the ter
ritory that individual members of
the Legislature represent in the
Assembly. Some of them conceiv-
ably could be eliminated altogether

Let's Get Out the Vote
By Robert K. Walsh

Citizens who put personal con-
venience and no-count attitude
ahead of registering and voting
this year can find ample remind
ers that they are running contrary
to current events and past hap
penings.
A letter and telephone response
to articles in the Get Out the
Vote" series showed that other
wise eligible voters in Washington
and Virginia have a strong aca-
demic interest in exercising the
democratic franchise. But in
some instances it apparently is
Ia talk-a-big-fight interest, with
more shadow voting than an
actual trip to the polling place.
There was, for instance, the
Montgomery County resident who
complained - with considerable
Ijustice-that it's a long trip for
some one in Silver Spring to reg
lister at Rockville or. even at oc-
casional part-time registration
places elsewhere.

Fairfax County is going to look
around for a new sanitary land
I'LL site but meanwhile, it will
continue operating one at Baileys

from nearby residents.
A delegation of Virginia Heights
residents descended on the Board
|of County Supervisors yesterday
to protest the present sanitary
f1ll-in of c. B. O'Shaugnhessy's

Heated words were exchanged
before the two-hour hearing
ended, and some members of the

toned the qualifications of county
personnel who passed on the land

Health Officer is Target.
The target of several bitter re-
marks was DR.. Harold Kennedy,
county health officer. G. Wallace
Carper, chairman of the Board
|of Supervisors, said DR.. Kennedy
had not found the land fill men,
ace to health, as charged by near
by residents.
Don't you believe your health
officer when he says it isn't a
menace?" asked Mr.. Cooper.
At least three members of the
delegation shouted, "No"-not
when the county had a health
officer trained in England.
DR.. Kennedy came to this coun-
try from England. He has be-
come a diplomatic Of the Ameri-
can Board of Preventive Medi-
cine and Public Health, which is
about the highest recognition a
public health specialist can re-
ceive in this country.
Two Others Under Fire.
Sanitary Engineer James j. Cor
balls and Commonwealth Attor-
ney Hugh B. Marsh also were
singled out for attack by some
of the delegation. Charles r.
Haig suggested that Board of Su-
pervisorS needed better legal ad-
wise than Mr.. Marsh's. Mr.. Haig
accused Mr.. Corbalis of not know
ing provisions of the county's san
ltary land fill ordinance.
1T certainly is disappointing
that these people. who come here
SO seldom, have so little faith
in county officials" said Mr.. Car
per.
c. B. Jett.. supervisor from Lee
District, added that the attitude
OF many in the delegation was
"disgraceful."
County Executive Carlton C,
Massey said the land fill had been
in operation seven weeks, and no
complaints were received until
stories about it's existence ap-
peared in newspapers last week.
Petition Signed BY 40.
Robert Hankins. spokesman for
the Virginia Heights group, said
40 home-owners have signed a
petition against the present land
fill location. He called it a menace
to health and said the values of
surrounding homes would be de-

Mr.. Hyde pointed out further
that the County Council of which
Mrs. Werner is a member, did not
support the bill and that Mrs.
Werner had not sent one word to

Haddock, close relative Of the

cent years when fillet fish became
so popular, the demand far exceeded
that of the dependable cod.
Haddock lives on both sides Of the
North Atlantic. on the American
coast it is common from the Gulf OF
st. Lawrence to Cape Cod.
During the winter, haddock Is
taken in deep water as far south
as New Jersey or even Cape Hat

water ranging from to 100 fathoms,
though the principal catches are
made in water Is to so fathoms deep.
