Almond Backs
boothe on Issue
Of Redistrictinq
Says Legislatures
FuiIure to Shuttle
Seats Violated Law
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND. Va, May 24.-At-
torney General j. Lindsay Almond
says the recent Legislature session
violated the State constitution
when it failed to reapportion Viz
ginia's legislative districts.
Mr.. Almond, in an opinion
handed down at the request Of
Delegate Armistead Boothe Of
Alexandria, said the constitution
plainly provides for rearrange-
ment of House of Delegate and
State Senate districts every 10
years.
The last time the districts were
shuffled was in 1912. The 1852
General Assembly considered the
matter, but postponed any ac-
ton. A bill was passed, however,
|realigning Virginia's nine con-
|gresSional districts to make way
for a new 10th district in the
northern part Of the State.
Mr.. Almonds opinion was seen
as a boon to the efforts of Mr..
Boothe and several other law
makers who are trying to get Gov.
Battle to call a special legislative
session to take up the Assembly
IrediStricting problem.
Petitions Circulated.
Petitions have been circulated
since the regular session adj
journed In March in an effort to
force recall of the. lawmakers. If
two-thirds of the Houses 100
members and two-thirds of the
40 Senators sign the petitions. Mr..
Battle must call a special session.
Thus far 81 legislators have signed
the petitions.
The Boothe groups latest tack
is a 32-page handbook which Is
being distributed to members Of
the Assembly. newspapers. the
League of Women Voters, cham
bers Of commerce and others ex-
planning why reapportionment is
needed. .-
The handbook contends that
great inequities exist in popula-
tionS among the districts.
Exact equality is impossible, +"
the book says, "but it is the basis
of our democratic government
that representation be equal. In
a democracy some citizens should
not have seven votes. other citi-
zens five votes and still others
only one vote apiece"
The handbook says that under
the 1850 census, from a popula-
ton standpoint the ideal House
Idistrict should have about $4,000
people and ideal Senate district
some 82500.
InequitieS Cited.
In the present array of House
districts, the smallest district
Lancaster and Richmond Counties
has one delegate to 14,829 per-
lsons. The largest-Fairfax and
falls Church--has one delegate
flor 106,092 population. Similar
1differences appear among Senate
districts.
l Among the legislators working
with Mr.. Boothe to promote the
extra session are Delegates r.
Winston Balm Of Portsmouth, E
Griffith Dodson, jr., of Roanoke;
j. Randolph Tucker of Richmond;
Edward Hudgins of Chesterfield
: and Roy Smith of Petersburg.

Retraction Demanded
BY McNayr in Dispute
Over Civil Defense

Montgomery County Manager
Irving G. McNayr has demanded
an immediate retraction Of a
charge that his recommendation
to abolish the county civil defense
Office was Gin direct contraven-
tion" of State laws.
In a blistering letter to Mary
land Civil Defense Director David
G. Mcintosh III, Mr.. McNayr ver-
bally spanked the State official for
alleged failure to verify informa-
ton he obtained in the news
papers.
Mr.. Mcintosh had attacked the
county manager for recommended
ing in his proposed budget for the
next fiScial year that the county
Office of Civil Defense be abol-
ished. Mr.. Mcintosh said he
learned of the recommendation
through the newspapers.
The State director cited the
Maryland Defense Act, which di-
rects each political subdivision to
set up an Office of civil defense
headed by a director. The Mont
gomery Civil Defense Office had
requested $59,185 for fiscal 1852
SO.
Director Mcintosh, referring
to the budget recommendation,
wrote:
"In other words. your recon-
mendation is in direct contraven-
ton of the laws of the State of
Maryland"
Charges Statements untrue.
Mr.. McNayr yesterday denied
the charge and fired back:
"Since the charge =. borders
closely on a charge of nonfeasance
in Office, I cannot, nor can you,
afford to ignore such untrue state
ments."
In his strongly worded letter.
Mr.. McNayr quoted completely
the section of his budget message
last Tuesday concerning the civil
defense recommendation.
After recommending discontinue
ance of the civil defense appropri-
alton, and praising work of the
divisions staff, Mr.. McNayr said
in the message:
"A natural apathy on the part
of citizens In a confused inter-
national period has resulted ir
something less than well-round.
ed civil defense program. Federal
and State officials have shown
little interest in providing suffi-
cient appropriations to have 9
well integrated program. It ap-
pears then that Montgomery
County should discontinue appro-
priations for this service. A skele-
ton organization has been devel-
oped around existing county de-
partments which will continue to
function and can be reactivated
when and if required"
Salaries Total $l3,5l8.
In recommending discontinue
ance of the appropriation. Mr.
McNayer turned down requests for
$13,518.69 to pay salaries Of a
present director, deputy director
and two Office workers.
! Mr.. McNayr said in his letter
that Montgomery County had as
sumed leadership in civil defense
on a par with any other Maryland
county.
i "It is still our intention to main
tain an organization which will
work with regular disaster agen-
cies such as the American Red
Gross, local fire departments a1c
rescue squads, all of which can bt
reactivated when needed" hi
