Virginia Delegation
Cool 10 Approval
OF State Primaries
By Alex R. Preston

A decision by the Virginia State
attorney general that congress
sional primaries this summer in
the State are legal has stirred a
reaction ranging from dubious
ness to outright opposition from
the all-Democratic delegation in
Congress.
Only one member of Congress
could be found last night to civ
100 per cent support to the opir
ion of Attorney General j. Limo
say Almond, jr.
Representative Gary of the 81
district said he was delighted.
Representative Smith, 9th dis
trict, sharply disagreed. NJ
Smith said his opposition vies
was based on legal precedent
and the opinions OF numerou
outstanding lawyers in Virginia. =
Smith Seeking 18th Term.
He said. the General Assembly
itself, when it passed the redis-
tricting bill without an emergency
clause. agreed that "a legal pri-
mary could not be held and
would be subject to legal attack. !"
MIR. Smith, dean of the Virginia
congressional delegation. has an
nounced he is seeking his 18th
term in the House.
Representative Abbitt of the
4th district, declared he has
serious doubts over Mr.. AL
mond's opinion. MANY eminent
attorneys disagree on the ques-
tion," he said.
The Attorney Generals ruling
yesterday afternoon brought non
committal reactions from Repre-
sentatives Burton, 9Th district.
Robson. 1st district, and Stanley,
9Th district.
The effect of Mr.. Almonds de-
cision is that Democratic candi-
dates can legally be named by prl-
mary this year as well as by con-
vention under the new redistrict-
ing act.
Timing Adds Complications.
Since the act does not become
effective until June %, and the
primary date is July Is, legal
Snarl resulted because election
laws require congressional candi-
dates to file 80 days in advance Of
the primary. Candidates in the
new 10th district, under the pres
ent setup of dates, thus would be
faced with the fact that the dis
trict they choose to represent will
have been in existence only 18
days before the primary date.

The Russians said West German

that Soviet cars were being

Russia Accuses West
Before Red Cross Of
OBTAINING Children
BY the Associoted Press

TORONTO. July 26.-Russian
delegates to the 18th Interna-
tional Red Cross conference yes
terday accused the West of re-
fusing to repatriate Soviet chill
dren in West Germany. Ameri-
can and British spokesmen said
the charge was old and false.
It came up at a meeting of the
board of governors of the League
Of Red Cross Societies on the eve
of the international conference
here. The board voted down a
Soviet resolution incorporating
the charges, 8 to 5, with delegates
from four countries abstaining.
Mrs. Sophia Mikhailovna Spe-
ranskaya, a Soviet delegate, de-
manded immediate repatriation
of Soviet children she said had
been "marooned" in West Ger
many since the war. Red China
Czechoslovakia, Poland and Ro-
mania joined her.
James T. Nicholson, vice presi-
dent of the American Red Cross
said if the United States delega-
ton thought for one moment
that this (Soviet) resolution had
a humanitarian purpose, and that
the allegations made were sup
portable by facts, we would vote
for the resolution" He added
that Russia would not give West
ern authorities names and other
necessary data on any Russian
children in West Germany.
Earlier, West Germany was ad-
mitted into Red Cross member
ship over Red opposition.

Rules for Enforcing
Prescription Control
Drop Debated Points
BY the Asseeiafed Press

The Federal Security Agency
yesterday issued a considerably
watered-down set of regulations
for enforcing the Nations first
prescription law-omitting certain
proposed interpretations" which
had drawn fire from trade and
professional organizations in the
drug field.
The law is an amendment to the
Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics
Act. The Food and Drug Admin
istration, a part of the FSA, says
the law is designed to safeguard
health by giving. for the first
time, a Federal legal definition
of drug requiring prescription
as distinguished from one that
can be freely purchased over the
counter.
Label Requirement Made.
The new law went into effect
April 26. It requires drug manu-
facturers to label all prescription
drugs sent to druggists with this
legend:
Caution: Federal law pro-
hibits dispensing without a pre-
scription." Omission of the label
Or placing it on drug which
can be dispensed without a pre-
scription-makes a manufacturer
liable to punishment.
Early in April, the FSA issued
its proposed regulations. Strong
objections to some of the rules
then were voiced by drug manu-
facturers and druggists.
Principal omissions in the
regulations issued yesterday are
these:
l. FSA's original proposal to
interpret the law as ruling out
mail order business in prescrip-
ton drugs" and excluding ship
ment Of drugs into States in which
the drug dispenser (such as re-
tail druggist is not registered.
Bar to Mailing Seen.
Opponents contended such q
ruling would prevent a person
from having medicine mailed tc
Ihim-even on prescription-if he
were away from his home State.
2. FSA's original proposal te
Igive regulatory force to FSA's
own Interpretation of certain tech.
tnical workings OF. the law itself
with respect to such things al
what constitutes "toxicity" (poi.
sonous potentiality) in q given
drug.
| Opponents contended enforce

mentation in the drug field.

Administration said Federal Sc
curity Administrator Oscar Ewing
had decided to omit "at this time

''All men are created equal; they are endowed by their creator with certain inaenable rights that among these lfe liberty and the pursuit of happi ness'-so says the Declaration of Independence which made Americans free people.
 It seems that some of these free people are tread ing rather inuriously large group of Americans when a single spokesman for union of workers in San Francisco destroy the economy of large part of America called Alaska and disrupt the businesses of other free people, Alaskans.
 The Declaration further states that governments are instituted among men, deriving their just from the consent of the governed It would that those in the Territory of Alaska being governed without their consent and the voice of the people is going unheeded.
 The Declaration further states that when a long train of abuses evinces design to reduce them under absolute despotism it is their right it is their duty to throw off such government and to pro- vide guards for their future security" Over a period of twenty years, Alaska has been faced and handicapped by cripping strikes through fault of their own but the present strike is the most devas- tatlng Tn its history.
 Its seriousness is clearly shown when leaders of the Republican party and ant-administration Demo- crats have thrown aside their political and personal differences and pledged themselves assist Governor Gruening because they know he is sincere in his efforts to relieve the distress throughout Alaska.
 One clause of the Declaration is particularly fit ting to the present situation for cutting off our trade with all parts of the world That 100 900 innocent Americans must suffer through fault of their own, is un-American and breeds contempt. We hope that those who have sponsored the injury will recognize the fact they losing face before all Ann ericans, and will change their policy immediately.
 An efficient executive is one who can handle not only his ob but other jobs and other people in them, and put the right people in the right job.
