Lytton H. Gibson, Falls Church

resignation from the Virginia
Democratic State Central Com
mittee because of reluctance to
unequivocally support the Ma

Mr.. Gibson made it clear that
his resignation from the commit
tees did not mean his resignation
or removal from the Democratic
Party.
Mr.. Gibson said that In the
light of his convictions it would
be "a sham and morally wrong
for him to remain a member of
the committees.
Il have reached the conclu-
sion," the attorney said, "that as
long as I was a member of the
Democratic committees I felt that
I was morally bound to support
the entire Democratic platform
to defend the entire record OF
the Democratic Party and to work
actively and unreServedly for all
Of the Democratic candidates
This I could not do, in the light
Of my convictions" he declared.
