Miller and Backers
Attack Byrd Record
On Agriculture Votes
By the Associated Press

One of the heaviest exchanges
lof fire to date has livened up
Istill more the heated senatorial
primary battle between Senator
Byrd and Francis Pickens Miller
While Senator Byrd was lash
ing out at his July Is foe last
might before the Fluvanna County
Farm Bureau at Palmyra, he was
being attacked himself by Mr.
Miller and his anti-organization
supporters.
Mr.. Miller himself spoke al

Another talk by Mr.. Miller is
slated tonight at Tappahannock.
Senator Byrd leveled his shots
last night at both Mr.. Miller and
the Truman administration, and
The told his Fluvanna County audi
|ence he was being ejust as nom
political as a man who has an
election five weeks ahead of him
can be-"
"They say I'm worked out" he
said in reference to previous at
tacks on him by Mr.. Miller and his
hackers. II don't think, though.
that I'm too worked out to defeat
him"
And the Senator had a caustic
word for criticism of his voting
record in the Senate. He declared:
MY opponent said something
the other day about 10 or IL of
my votes. I checked with the
clerk of the Senate. Since I have
been Senator, I have cast about
$4,000 votes. My opponent says
10 of them were wrong. My rec
ord is better than I thought"
Miller Renews Charges.
For his part, Mr.. Miller renewed
his charges of evasion" and "es-
cape" in connection with Senator
Byrd's refusal to debate with him
and charged the Senator with
failing to take issues to the peo-
pie"
Senator Byrd 'has never
troubled himself to reach the
people of Virginia-to sit down
and talk over their problems with
Them" the Albemarle County ex-
Army officer said.
Mr.. Miller said the people of
Virginia are tired of one-man

making all the decisions. For the
first time Harry Flood Byrd has

Senator Byrd's voting record on
farm matters was attacked by Mr..

In particular, Mr., Whitehead
attacked Senator Byrd for his
position on his 1887 vote on estab-
lishment of the AAA program
(which provided for soil conserva-
ton payments, parity payments,
marketing control and crop in
surance."
Mr.. Lambeth, Mr.. Miller's cam
lpaign manager, charged in his
Amherst County statement that
Senator Byrd was not present
and did not vote" yesterday when
the Senate approved a new farm
appropriations bill in Washington.
"'He apparently was afraid to
be recorded on this measure" Mr..
Lambeth charged. Last year he
voted against it three times"

Georges County commissioners
requested the carrier to survey
traffic conditions at the Calvert

possible consideration to installa-
ton of automatic safety gates"
Commissioner Edward j. Waters,

died instantly when a two-engine
train hit his car and carried it
Ia mile down the rails.

Act on Coming Problem.
In other business, the commits
sioners set the stage for a court
fight on coming problem in the
Silver Hill area. Acting on advice
Of their counsel, they declined to
take any action on request for
a rehearing on proposed reclassi-
f1cation of portions of the 150-
acre Carrigan tract in Hillcrest
Heights.
Board Attorney c. Calvert Ian
caster said that course will leave
the way clear for citizens of the
community to seek an Injunction

and duplex dwellings.
Gordon Crozier, president of the
Hillcrest Heights Citizens Associ-
alton, and Richard c. Timm,
chairman of the Zoning Commit
tee Of the Silver Hill Citizens As
sociation, said such an action will
be filed.
Changed Classification.

fused last summer after delega-
tons protested. But at rehear-
ing September 81 the commits
sioners shifted the classification
from single family residential to
permit apartments and two-fam-
lily houses.

were unaware of the rehearing,
because it was inadequately adj
vertised and that the land was
not properly posted with notices
of the hearing.

At TempIeton KnoIIs !

Marcel Weiss. vice president of
the Spiller Construction Co., will
be called before a House commit
tee Monday for questioning about
construction methods at the Tenn
pleton Knobs suburban Develop
ment in East Riverdale, Md.
The housing development came
under fire this week by the select
House committee headed by Rep
resentative league. Democrat, Of
Texas. The group is Investigate
ing veterans housing in the
Washington area. The investiga-
ton centers around Veterans ADJ
ministration policies in guaran-
teeing home loans for veterans.
After yesterdays questioning of
VA officials Prince Georges Coun-
ty commissioners asked building
inspectors to report on veterans
construction that has been brand
ed faulty,
Ask Look Into Complaints.
The commissioners informal re-
quest was for a check, specifical-
ly, of Templeton Knobs. They
asked inspectors of the Mary
land National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to look into
complaints made by home owners.
Three veterans, owners of
homes in Templeton Knobs, al
ready have appeared before the
committee. They complained of
flooded cellars. bad flooring and
other defects which they said
the Spiller Construction Co. has
not corrected.
Morgan A. Callahan, VA re-
gional loan guarantee officer, con-
cede yesterday that if the floors
in one house were as bad as pho
tographs indicated, the house
should not have been approved.
The photographs were produced
by Committee Counsel Oliver
Meadows. They showed the floor
in the home of Ferdinand C.
Meyer, 6012 Longfellow street.
One Home Being Fixed.
Residents reported unusual &C.
tivity in Templeton Knobs yester-
day.
While the committee was ques-
tioning VA officials, workmen
showed up at 61012 Madison street,
which has had wet basement for
months. Mr.. league and the COM
mittee staff visited the house
earlier in the week. It is rented by
Arthur Wilcoxen.
The workers began applying
a layer of cement in the cinder-
block basement. One said a more
substantial floor also was planned.
Charles r. Anderson, 6106 Long
fellow street, produced a number
of complaints before the commit
tee. One was of large hole in
the tile of his bathroom had gone
unfixed since he moved in six
months ago.

r Other Faults Listed.
Complaints. besides the faulty
flooring include poor grading, lack
of sodding. lack of screens for
basement windows and washing
machines that rattle the kitchen
so badly they can't be used.
Mr.. Anderson said he and most
of the complaining residents feel
they have a reasonable buy for
their money. However, he added.
they also feel the builder should
correct all of the defects and
should stick to contract speci-
ficationS.

Two More Senator's
Back Virginia Session,
But 20thers Oppose Il
BY the Associated Pres.

ROANOKE, Va. June 7-Ad-
vocates of special State Legis-
|lature session had picked up two
new supporters today. but also
had the opposition of two more
lawmakers.
State, Senators Earl Fitzpatrick
Iof Roanoke and George Warren
Iof Bristol pledged their support
to a move to get the lawmakers
recalled to reapportion Virginia's
General Assembly districts.
Both said they thought a spe-
lcial session should be called to
comply with provisions of the
State constitution requiring that
|realignment of the districts be
effected every 10 years. The last
time the districts were shuffled
was in 1912.
Move Denounced.
But State Senators M. M. Long
lof st. Paul and Frank p. Burton
Iof Steuart denounced the move
for a special session. Senator
Long said he doubted very seri-
lously that anything could be &C
lcomplished. Senator Burton COM
|mented: 1--WE can do it in 1854
there's plenty of time"
Heading the drive for a special
session is Delegate Armistead
Boothe Of Alexandria, who has
been circulating petitions to get
Gov. Battle to call the legislators
back to Richmond. Two-thirds Of
the members of both houses have
to sign to force the Governor to
issue a recall.
Gov. Battle can, Of course, call
the lawmakers back regardless of
the petitions. But he has said he
won't do so unless he receives
reasonable assurances" the law
makers mean business on the re-
districting matter.
Session Ended in March.
At the regular legislative session,
which ended in March. the law
makers. postponed action on AS
sembly redistricting, although they
did realign Virginia's nine con-
gressional districts to make way
for new 10th district in Northern
Virginia.
The hackers of the special ses-
sion received a boost earlier in the
week when State Senator Harry F.
Byrd. jr., Of Winchester. an
nounced he favored recall. Sena-
tor Byrd said he believed the con-
stitutional requirement providing
flor redistricting this year should
be complied with.
Mr.. Boothe has said reappor-
tionment is a necessity to elimi-
nate vast differences in population
among the districts.
