Veterans for Broyhi||
raise Candidate
On N Program

Veterans supporting Joel T.
Broyhill for the House told a tele-
vision audience last night why
they think other voters in the
10th Virginia district should help
elect the Republican candidate.
Mr.. Broyhill also spoke on the
program, carried by WMAL-TV.
He said Gen. Eisenhower is the
best-equipped man in America to
assume the greatest task any
President ever had.
"Ike Eisenhower will never let
you down." the House candidate
said.
Mr.. Broyhill's own qualifications
were discussed and praised by
Vincent Marcum, chairman of the
veterans group: Harris Richards,
Thomas Roland, Vernon Hill and
John F. Hoeft. Approximately 40
other members of the organiza-
ton attended the program, which
included a question-and-answer
period.
Mr.. Marcum said Mr.. Broyhill
has a brilliant record of military
achievement" and declared his
peace-time record in business and
civic affairs has been equally i'm
pressive.
Mr.. Hoeft criticized the Demo-
cratic House candidate. Edmund
%. Campbell, saying he had used
smear tactics in an effort to cast
unjust and objectionable sltlrs on
Mr.. Broyhill's character and the
construction firm of M. T. Broy-
hill & Sons.
The corruption-in-government
issue Of the campaign was dis
cussed by Mr.. Richards. He said:
There is only one way the vot-
Ter, the individual whose money is
being stolen by the grafters,
|swindlers and crooks In high Of

That is to elect Gen. Dwight D.

Often Heard Excuses.
Other Alleged alibis for failure
to vote are better known, and
|answerable with equal ease for
any one who recognizes a funda-
mental obligation and opportu-
nifty to be a full-time citizen.
Among the often-heard excuses
are that: Government is too big
and the issues too hard to under
stand. We don't know the candi-
dates or what they stand for. We
are too busy to vote. We will get
hours of or perhaps a full holiday
to vote, so why not play golf or
bridge or go somewhere else. We
can't make up our minds. We
can't get conveniently to the poll
ing place. Besides, we're not in
terested in politics or politicians.
And. last but not least, people
naturally resist being "nagged"
into voting just as much as being
told" how they must" vote.
Often those non-voting citizens
become the loudest in nagging or
telling-of the elected candidates,
and even the defeated ones.
In any event. and for so i'm

Smith Pays No Heed

For His House Seat

Mr.. Smiths opponent. indie
pendent Homer G. Richey-s
former assistant professor at the
University Of Virginia-has been
|assailing Mr.. Smiths record in a
series of weekly radio talks.
Assails Smiths Record.
He has charged that Mr..
Smiths voting record is "ques-
tionable semi-Fair Dealist" and
that the conservative Congress
man has been paying lip service
to economy in government but
voting for those things that make
economy and a balanced budget
impossible"
Representative Smith, seeking
his 18th term, has no Republican
opposition in the district and is
facing the opposition Of Mr..
Richey in what appears to be a
rather serene fashion. He seems
to be pretending that Mr.. Richey's
candidacy isn't there.
The 43-year-old Richey first
announced he would be a candi-
date for the Democratic nomina-
ton. But when the 9th decided
to nominate by convention -
rather than primary election
he chose to run as an Independ-
ent Democrat.
No Reply to Debate Bid.
Mr.. Richey said he has asked
Mr.. Smith to meet him In q
radio debate of the issues but
has received no reply to his invi-
tation.
Mr.. Smith, whose old district
was shorn Of two populous coun-
ties and two cities in the WASH
ington Metropolitan area in the
redistricting legislation earlier
this year, has indorsed the Ste
venson-Sparkman ticket along
with the rest of the Democratic
slate.
Mr.. Richey. while also favoring
Senator Byrd, has indorsed the
candidacy Of Gen. Eisenhower on
the Republican presidential ticket.

Poff Of Radford in the Sixth,
$1,000.

the candidates, even some of those
with opposition, are doing little
spending. There have been no ex-
penses or contributions for the
four representatives without op-
poSition-E. j. Robson in the
First. Porter Hardy. jr.. in the
Second, Watkins M. Abbitt in the
Fourth and Thomas B. Stanley in
the Fifth.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, has
spent $950-all Of it for a State

Whitmore, playing a classic bore
opens the talk with the observa-
tion that this is great country
and Powell closes 1t with a hila-
rious demonstration that dopes

Everything about this episode is
superbly comic, and the second is
equally dramatic in a more poig-
nantly humorous mood. In this
passage, Miss Barrymore as an
elderly Boston Irish woman brings
the Federal Government to its
knees for failing to include her in

right to stand up and be counted

Barrymore but also by George
