Senator Byrd Lacks
Political knowledge,
|Mi|Ier's S Aide Says
By the Asseeiated Press

RICHMOND, June 5.-Bolling
Lambeth, campaign manager for
Francis Pickens Miller, as ques-
toned Senator Byrd's knowledge
of practical politics.
Mr.. Lambeth yesterday renewed
a Miller camp charge that Sen.
Byrd has failed to maintain "pro-
per relations" with the admins
tration in Washington, thereby
hurting "the best interests Of the
people of Virginia"
The Miller lieutenant said State
Senator A. S. Harrison, jr., Sen.
Byrd's campaign chieftain, had
contended in a speech Tuesday
night that no Senator should take
part in administrative policy
making in Washington. Mr.. Lam
beth contrasted this idea with Mr..
Miller's attitude that ito effec-
lively represent his constituency,
a Democratic Senator must be in
on the making and the adminis-
tration of all major governmental
policies.
IF Mr.. Harrison and Senator
Byrd don't understand the prac-
tical political situation in Wash
ington well enough to realize that
a Virginia Senator has got to be
constantly on the alert and in
the fight in behlf of Virginia in
terests, then their political edu-
cation has been sadly neglected,
Mr.. Lambeth said.
GAS a matter of fact" Mr.. Lam
beth continued, many members
of the Virginia delegation in
Washington are taking part in the
making and administration of i'm
portant Government policies. Sen
ator Byrd is the only one know
of who has held himself COM
lpletely aloof and apart from the
councils of the Democratic Party
in Washington. Mr.. Byrd is not
on speaking terms with the heads
of most Government departments
in Washington, and his attitude
is highly prejudicial to the best
interests of the people Of Vir-
ginia."
Delegate Robert Whitehead OF
Nelson County will speak in be-
half of Mr.. Miller tomorrow night
at Goochland Courthouse. it was
announced in Richmond.
