Legion Convention in 1854
Will Tax HOUSING Here

Washington has been selected
as the site of the 1854 American
Legion convention and officials al
ready are wondering how the city
will handle the crowd.
An official of the National Le-
gion headquarters said the con-
vention probably would attract
more than $4,000 people.
Lacking sufficient hotel space
here. the Legion will turn to near
by Virginia and Maryland for
extra sleeping accommoda tions but
they expect trouble finding enough
space.
Even if Congress is not in ses-
sion. Washington usually is crowd
ed with tourists when the Legion
convenes. The dates of the 1854
session are August 80 to Septem-
ber 2.
The convention next year is
scheduled for st. Louis.

Scrap Byrd Machine,
Virginia NAACP Told

SOUTH BOSTON, Va, Oct. 13
Virginia members Of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People have
been told that they must never
rest until they've broken the
power of the Byrd machine"
Clarence Mitchell, the head oi
the Washington bureau of the
NAACP, passed this advice along
yesterday to 600 members of the
association in convention here.
Mr.. Mitchell was the feature
speaker at the closing session ot
the State NAACP Convention.
In his speech. Mr.. Mitchell
declared that Adlai Stevenson is
far ahead of Gen. Eisenhower on
civil rights issues.
Following Mr.. Mitchell's address

upcoming special session of the

peal the State poll tax and segre-
cation laws and another, an ef-
fective FEPC with enforcing

Let 0et OUT ne. vote
Voting Records Still Possible
f Activity Is Intensified

27,751 ,597 in 1886. The biggest
vote by the Republicans was 22,-
304, ,755 in 1910. Even If those re-
turns had happened to coincide
in the same year, the total would
have been only a little over SO
millions.
Since the 1910 peak. the ratio
of actual voters to potential
voters dropped steadily. In fact,
the numbers and percentages at
presidential elections followed a
downward trend for the most part
since 1920. Even the bitterly
fought election of 1923 produced
only Sc per cent Of the then po-
tential voting strength of the
Nation.
The picture-and the continu-
ing problem-in Maryland and
Virginia has been even more bleak.
About 40 per cent of Maryland's
citizens of voting age went to
the polls four years ago, and only
81 per cent Of Virginia's.
By all accounts the showing In
those two States and in the Nation
at large should be far better this
November. The same goes for
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties. Arlington and Fairfax
Counties and Alexandria and Falls
Church. where all past registra-
ton records have been broken.
Gains in Registration.
Virginia has registered at least
100000 as compared with about
$4,000 in 1948. Maryland's 1862
registration may top the million
mark. a gain Of some 10000 over
four years ago.
The immediate question-and
the present consideration Of
get-out-the vote campaigners in
this areas how many of the
Maryland and Virginia registrants
will vote next month. Only
419,256 in Virginia voted for
President in 1948. Only 594. 4.2591
Maryland voters participated in
that election.
Those records shouldn't be hard
to beat for the sake of represent
ative. free governmentl

MARYLAND Riders to Get Tickets
DESIGNED to Help Bus Drivers

The Capital Transit Co. has
come up with a device to reduce
worries of bus drivers on the sub
urban lines in Maryland.
New zone fares go into effect
Wednesday on these lines. Pas
sengers will pay 10 cents for the
first zone and 7 cents for each
zone thereafter.
Previously the fares were Z
cents for the first zone and 7
cents for each additional.
The company decided this new
fare arrangements would give the
drivers too much to remember.
Also. the company didn't want to
lose any fares because of bad
memory of the drivers. 4

whole fare is paid on boarding the

The new system to go into ef-
feet Wednesday is this:
AS the rider enters he pays
the proper fare for the zone to
which he is going. The driver then
gives him a ticket. The passenger
keeps the ticket until he gets OF,
then turns it back to the driver.
This simple check will enable
drivers to keep the various zone

Former Democratic

Mayor Four Terms
BY the Assoe;otsd Press

Maryland Republicans today
had a new ally in Howard W.
Jackson, Democrat, who served
four terms as Baltimore's Mayor
and once ranked among his par
tvs top leaders.
The former Mayor came out for
the national G. O. P. ticket in next
months elections with blistering
attack on the Democrats in WASH
ington.
Mr.. Jackson took his stand
publicly by reaffiyming last night
beliefs which he had expressed to
a group of clubmen in Havre de
Grace, Md, last week.
mo Democrat can go to Wash
ington as President and bring
about the change needed for sur
vival," he had said in his Havre
de Grace speech. ...
Includes Candidates in Attack.
Last night he included Demo-
cratic candidates for other Fed
eral offices in the category.
THE blood of our boys in Korea
is on the heads of official WASH
ington." Mr.. Jackson declared,
land they are criminally liable. y
Directing special blast at
President Truman. he said the
Chief Executive had violated "his
oath of office" to uphold the laws,
when he failed to use the Taft
Hartley law in the recent steel
strike. Mr.. Jackson's 16-year
tenure in office ended in 1943.

Mr.. Mahoney issued a statement
saying Gov. Stevenson and Sen

new pledge of support.
Mr.. Mahoney said this was q
reply to Mr.. Beall's charge that
he differed with the national

Let's Get Out The. Vote
By Robert K. Walsh

While election campaigning OBJ
servers ponder the meaning Of rec
ord registrations. others actively
interested in getting out a record
vote wonder whether November 4
totals will make new history or
simply repeat the old.
Eligible voters have an excellent
chance to reach an all-time show
ing at the polls, both in numbers
and in proportion to the popula-
tiNn of voting age. That is par
tichlarly true of nearby Virginia
and Maryland.
An election day turnout Of at
least so million would be a numer-
ical high, by far. And it would
come close to beating the long
ago and almost forgotten records
when more than 10 per cent of
eligible voters went to the polls.
That, Of course, was more than
so years ago-and without the aid
of automobiles. super highways,
and television. radio or telephone
reminders.
History May Repeat.
But If the history Of the last
dozen or so presidential election
voting totals is not to repeat it
self, the individual voter of 1852
and the non-partisan and partisan
groups that want him to vote No
Ivember must be on the alert up
to the very last minute.
Let's look at some of the record.
The largest number of men and
women ever to cast ballots for
President was 49.815.312 in 1910.
That was a little more than 60
per cent Of the eligible popula-
tion Of voting age at the time.
Four years ago the vote for
President amounted to only A.
1886, ,579. Notwithstanding popula-
ton increases since 1910 and
exciting issues in a. spectacular
campaign, The turnout was only
SIS per cent Of voting-age pop
ulation.
The biggest vote the Democrats
ever mustered for President was
