Leaders in Virginia
Must Decide Stand on
Stevenson Ticket Soon
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND. July 81. - Top
leaders Of the dominant Virginia
Democratic organization kept
their silence unbroken publicly
today on a decision they must
make within the next month
whether or not to support the
Democratic National Convention's IS
presidential slate Of Adlai Steven
son and John Sparkman.
A check of Virginia law showed
they have until approximately
September 5-or so days before
the November 4 election day-to
make up their minds If they
should choose to reject the ma
tional party nominees and put up
their own ticket instead.
The latter course may be fol-
lowed legally only If State elec-
tion officials are notified not later
than 60 days prior to election
day that such decision has been
made by the State Democratic
convention.
Advance Meetings Necessary.
This means that any reas-
sembled convention would have to
meet sometime before probably
several days before-September S,
and, in turn, that the Democratic
State Central Committee, which
must decide whether to recall the
State convention, would have to
hold its meeting a week or more
in advance of any convention in
order to give notice and make
necessary preparations.
The continued silence of Gov.
Battle, Senator Byrd and State
Democratic Chairman William M.
Tuck-who constitute the big
three" among reigning Virginia
DemocratS-was accompanied by
increasing signs that there would
at least be not overt "bolt" by the
Virginia party from the national
nominees.
These signs were ciassifiable
roughly into three groups-first,
the silence was not unfriendly
and no party power had come out
definitely against the national
ticket; second, Democrats who
spoke up as individuals all IA
vored support of Gov. Stevenson
and Senator Sparkman, and, fin
lally, informed political circles
around the Capitol here agreed
privately there would be no call
issued for a reassembled conven-
ition and therefore no separate
Virginia Democratic nominees.

May Drop Price Policy.
A top official said the higher
steel ceilings probably will force
the government to drop its hold
the-line price policy and center
efforts on keeping apparently in
evitable increases as small as
possible.
He said it was hoped "some
semblance of stabilization can be
salvaged."
Oficials were reluctant to dis
cuss the new policies being con-
sidered, but they said the situa-
ton may call for a complete re-
vision Of stabilization standards.
This decision, however, prob
ably will await President Tru-
mans return to Washington Au-
gust S. Any drastic changes prob
ably will have to get his approval,
an official said.
Some of his close associates,
however, said the former Georgia
Governor may decide to quit as
price chief in the wake of the
steel price increase because he
considers some of his main wea-
pons for controlling prices have
been broken.
It was also learned that two
other top OPS officials also may
leave the agency.

mist. was reported anxious to leave
by September / in order to get a
short rest before returning to his
teaching duties at the University
