The Alexandria Bar Association
last night approved proposed leg
islation calling for election of a
second Civil and Police Court
judge for the city.
The bill is to be submitted tc
the Virginia General Assembly
when it meets in Richmond Jan
uary 8.
The city has had an elected
Civil and Police Court judge for
over 20 years, according to Thomas
Moncure, chairman of a seven
man committee of the bar associa-
tion which. suggested the new
judgeship.
Special Election Mandatory.
He explained that State law now
provides for termination of the
present Civil and Police Court as
an elective Office. It would be re-
placed by appointment of a police
judge by the City Council and a
Civil Court judge by the General
Assembly.
Mr.. Moncure said this change
is mandatory under State law
when a city attains population
of $4,000. The 1850 census showed
Alexandria has a population Of
more than $1,000.
Mr.. Moncure said it is expected
the city council will take no action
to separate the courts until the
General Assembly acts on the new
proposal.
Provides 4-Year Terms.
He said the bill calls for q
special election 30 days after the
new plan is enacted into law.
The new judge elected by the
voters would serve until Decem-
ber 81, 1858, when the term of the
current Police and Civil Court
judge ends. Thereafter, both
judges would serve for four-year
terms concurrently. i.
The Police and Civil Court now
is presided over by Judge James
R.. Duncan.

Virginia Tax Changes
Backed by Members
OF State Assembly
BY The Asseeiofsd Press

RICHMOND, Jan. 8. - The
Richmond News Leader says that
a QUESTIONABLE it circulated
among a representative group of
members of the General Assembly
shows wide support for two major
changes in VirginiaS income tax
laws.
The lawmakers generally
showed reluctance Ito assault the
present division of tax sources
between the State and the locali-
ties-although a few Assembly
members favored revision.
Here and there, a legislator
spoke up in favor of a State sales
tax. opposed by Gov. Battle. But
the preponderance Of legislative
opinion was against sales levy"
One possible change in the in
come tax law that found wide
support in the group, the News
Leader said, was enactment of a
provision that would permit Vir-
|ginians to deduct Federal income
tax payments in computing the
amount of income taxable by the
State.
Such a proposal was advanced
unsuccessfully in the last session
|of the General Assembly. At that
time, State Tax Commissioner
&c. H. Morrissett opposed the
change on the ground it would cut
State revenues with Virginia in
come taxpayers getting little OF
the benefit. He argued the de-
crease in an income taxpayers
State payment would be reflected
Iby a higher taxable amount fol
Federal income tax purposes.
Some legislators who favor the
change" the News Leader said
admit that the State income taz
rate might have to be increased
to offset the revenue loss. Thus
the change might result in little
| if any, tax reduction"

Churches Turn Hopefully 7eIevon Radio end
By Cospor Nonnes

Get people interested, and you
can bring them to church.
That's the philosophy behind
the increasing use of television,
radio, moving pictures and drama
by religious leaders of all faiths.
eve are trying to hit the non
|churchgoing audience and to pro-
vide something that has meaning
for them," Stanley Knock, radio
and television department direc-
tor. Washington Federation of
Churches, explained.
That is the opening wedge. If
successful, the next step is COM
paratively easy. A non-church-
goer frequently will carry a newly
aroused interest in religion from
his easy chair at home to the
church pew.
This battle for the minds of
men and women is as true in
spiritual fields as in political and
economic ones. And in all areas
a persons interest must be awak-
ened before his allegiance can be
obtained. The churches, slow
until recently in using certain aids
to get their message across, are
now bending visual and radio
media to their aims.
Recently an Associated Press
writer reported that various Prot
estant. Catholic and Jewish bodies
have made marked strides within
the past few years nationally in
getting their message across by
television, radio and moving pic
lures. In Washington the faiths
have kept pace with the national
picture.

fBY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Democratic nominee Adlai Ste venson held closer rein Saturday in his race for the presidency while Republican leaders, includ- ing COP nominee Dwight Eisen- hover, tagged foreign policy as the prime issue.
 Stevenson picked a close friend, Stephen A. Mitchell of Chicago, as chairman of the Democratic national committee.

 At Denver, John Foster Dulles announced Friday that he, Eiscn- hover and the COP vice-presi- dential nominee, Sen. Richard M. Nixon of California, agree for eign policy is the major issue of the campaign.
 "The trend of our present for eign policies" Dulles said, "is to put our nation in the greatest peril it has ever been in (during) the entire course of our national history"
 Dulles, time adviser to Sec retary of State Dean Acheson. expressed strong doubt that Ste venson was experienced enough Gin making grave decisions"
 Gen. Eisenhower, through his experience, has developed and demonstrated that capacity" Dulles said. He declared that only Eisenhower election could block Soviet domination and avert a third world war.

YAKIMA, (P) - Bodies of a woman and her small son were sought Monday along the mud and debris-covered channel of a creek that went wild Sunday after foothills cloudburst.
 The victims were in one of four houses that were swept away without warning as a surge of water rolled down Wenas Creek in the Wenas valley 15 miles north of here.
 The missing persons were Mrs. Norman Winchell, 27, and her son, Floyd, 5.
 Survivors in the narrow chan nel of destruction said they didn't see the sudden flood coming. The first warning for some of them was when their houses began to move.
 The storm, which struck with out warning in late afternoon, also brought heavy rains and strong winds to the Yakima area in gen. eral and to large sector of central Washington. Heavy crop losses were feared.

McCranery Moves To Clean Up Any Govt. Corruption

WASHINGTON, Thanked by an array of new top assistants Attorney General James P. Me Granery moved forward on a number of fronts today in his battle to clean up any corruption in the federal government.
 McGranery assembled a news conference to disclose a number of shifts in his chief assistants and to announce that:
 His department is investi- gating alleged job sales in the Chicago Postoffice-second larg- est in the country-reputedly at $500 throw. McGranery said "It is only a question of who and how many we are going to indict." !"

Gen. Ridgeway Asserts Threat of War Big As Ever

SUPREME HEADQUARTERS ALLIED POWERS IN EUROPE, (P)-Gen. Matthew B. Ridgeway said today the threat of war is still as big as ever, and there are serious weaknesses in the Vests buildup to meet this threat. The supreme commander of AL lied forces in Europe told a news conference there was doubt as to whether the Western allies could reach their 1852 goal of 50 divi- sions-25 active and 25 in reserve and 4,0O0 planes.
 Ridgway also said he favored two years military service - something European nations are to discuss in Paris tomorrow amid indications they will not adopt it. Belgium has already been hit by strikes protesting her two year draft term.
 "The most serious deficiency to date," Ridgway said, is the SHAPE build-up in the logisticS field.
 He said the new superWeapons being developed are exceedingly difficult to evaluate and it was very difficult to estimate whether the number of ground troops could be cut down.
 "The matter is continuously under study, not only from our point of view but from the point of view of any enemy capabil- ities," he said.

West Nervously
 Watch Middle East Time Bomb
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

The fuse of a Middle East time bomb sputtered again Monday. Western diplomats watched ner- vously a series of developments that could set off an explosion in the turbulent area which is labelled of crucial strategic inn portance in the cold war between Russia and the West.
 In Jordon, a little desert coun- try long allied to Britain, parlia- ment decided to end the reign of ailing King Talal I and turn over the throne to his 17-year-old son, Crown Prince Hussein.
 In Iran, with the ominous rum ble of Nationalist threats in the background, the senate executed complete about face and handed Premier Mohammed MOssadegh the unlimited powers he demand ed to run the country the next six months.
 In Egypt, political parties were ordered to purge themselves of corruption or face extinction, and the order was backed up by the tanks and guns of the military group which busted King Farouk.
 By far the most critical of the situation was in Iran, where the Communist party was seizing every advantage of topsy turvy political conditions.
 Americans and British were conferring on the Iranian situ- ation. But they faced dilemma. If economic aid could save Iran, it probably would be rushed, but there was the oninous possibility such aid might be channeled into a nation which was in danger of seizure by the Communists.

Candidates Prepare To Launch Campaigns On Labor Day-Sept. 1
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Like two great armies on the eve of battle, the clank and rattle of maneuvering for position began to arise in earnest Monday from the Democratic and Republican camps.
 D-Day-Labor Day Sept. 1 - was precisely three weeks away and there was much preparation for the two months of campaign ing that will follow. The presi- dential election is Nov. 4.
 At Denver, Gen. Eisenhower ar ranged for serious pow-wows af- ter a relaxing visit with 35 Am erican Indian tribes Sunday. The outcome of his conference with leaders of eight southern states may decide what kind of Repub- lican thrust will be made into the Democrats Dixie stronghold.
 At Springfield, H., Democrats used words like general" and "commander-in- chief" in a some what discordant, albeit good hu- mored, discussion of just how firm Illinois Gov. Adlai Stevenson will grasp the Democratic standard. COP presidential nominee Eisenhower, after the southern state conference, scheduled a meeting with some Republican members of congressional agri- cultural committees and other party farm leaders.
 That underscores COP deter imitation to prevent what hap pened in 1948: Democratic success in the farm belt, generally given much credit for President Tru- mans victory.

 By WILLIAM C. BARNARD

SEOUL, (P) - Chinese Com munists dug in Monday on Si- beria Hill on the Korean western front under terrific day-long as sault by U. N. fighter bombers and pressure from US. Marines.
