luctant Virginia Democrats TO get
behind Gov. Stevenson's candidacy
for President.
The move Immediately stirred
speculation over Democratic con-
Germ for a national ticket that
lacks backing from some Of the
most prominent party workers in
the State.
The call for all Virginia DEM
ocrats "in Office and out of office"
to rally behind the Stevenson
Sparkman slate was sounded by
the Fredericksburg City Demo-
cratic Committee and relayed
through State party headquarters
in the form of a resolution.
Aimed at Byrd and Tuck.
Although Stevenson campaign
headquarters at Richmond made
no comment as it released the res
olution, the call appeared to be
directed at Senator Byrd and for
mer Gov. William M. Tuck. who
have been silent since the Chicago
conventions.
Mr.. Tuck quit as chairman of
the State Democratic Committee
IN protest over the national ticket
and platform. Senator Byrd has
declined to make any statement
regarding the campaign.
