Welfare Rolls Open
Only 10 virginians,
Almond Ruling Says
BY the Associated Preas

RICHMOND, Va, July 22.-Vir-
ginia welfare rolls are open for
public inspection only to citizens
of Virginia. Attorney General ].
Lindsay Almond. jr.. ruled yester-
day.
In a formal opinion prepared
for Col. Richard w. Copeland, di-
rector of the State Department
OF Welfare and Institutions, Mr..
Almond said:
There can be no doubt, in my
opinion, that the words any citi-
zen as used in the (welfare) code
as amended refer only to citizens
of the Commonwealth of Vir-
|ginia."
Capital Newsmen Barred.
Col. Copeland had asked for a
ruling on the new welfare provi-
sion after a Washington newspa-
perman was refused permission to
examine welfare records in Alex
andria.
Col. Copeland said today he had
not received the opinion, and
would reserve comment on it until
he had seen it.
The amendment to the code
enacted by the 1852 General AS
sembly, opened public welfare rolls
to public inspection for the first
time.
The bill provides that "any citi-
zen" may be afforded access to
the lists Of recipients of aid.
Il am of the opinion" Mr.
Almond said. that it must be as
sumed when the General Assem-
bly, of Virginia enacts legislation
and uses therein the words any
citizen that it has reference to
citizens of this State unless a con-
trary intent is clearly indicated. ("
Reason for Opening Rolls.
He said the debates in the legis-
lature on this legislation "indi-
Gated that the underlying reason
for the opening of the relief rolls
of this State was that it's citizens
are entitled to know how public
funds are being disburSed.
Citizens of other States. of
course, are not concerned with the
public funds of this State.
Furthermore. the bill as orig
inally drafted and introduced
contained the words the public
instead Of the words any citizen
and I am advised by the chief
patron who actually drafted the
bill that this substitution was
made advisedly in order to make
it clear that the relief rolls were
to be open only for inspection
by citizens Of this State"

Reports Of Screams
ByStab Victim Probed
For Clues 10 Staying

Police today was checking the
stories of persons who said they
heard the screams of Frank Earl
Moore as he was stabbed to death
early yesterday in the truck he
used for home at TB, Md.
Moore, 48. a construction worker
employed at Andrews Air Force
Base, was found dead by a fellow
worker who stopped at the truck
about 6 am. yesterday to take him
to work.
A 62-year-old colored man who
was sleeping in a car nearby said
he heard screams about 2:3O am.
He was taken into custody by
Prince Georges County police and
charged with vagrancy. Detective
Wilson J. Purdy said he is not sus-
pected of the Staying but is wanted
as a material witness.
Robbery Motive Discounted.
A billfold containing $1,O70 was
found in Moore's pocket, leading
police to discount robbery as a
motive in the brutal Staying.
Eight stab wounds more than
an inch wide were found on
Moore's body in an autopsy by DR..
James I. Boyd, county medical ex-
aminer. One severed an artery in
the left arm.
DR.. Boyd said the wounds were
probably inflicted by a broad
bladed instrument such as a
kitchen knife.
Detective Sergt. Purdy and
Corpl. Fred B. Collision, State po-
lice criminal investigator, are
running down clues they hoped
would lead to the killer.
Dined With Couple.
Tracing the victims movements
IN his last few hours, police said
Moore had dinner Sunday night
in a restaurant near Waldorf with
Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar w. DeBoe
who live near TB. They said they
drove Moore to his truck which
then. was parked in Waldorf and
dropped him off there about 9 pm.
Moore drove back to TB and
parked his truck in it's accustomed
place just off Route 5 on the
of his employer, the Bero
Engineering & Construction Corp.
At 6:10 am. yesterday, Mr.. De-
Boe, a fellow worker and a close
friend of the dead man, drove by
to take Moore to his job as welder
on an Andrews Air Force Base
project.
When Moore did not respond to
his signal Mr.. DeBoe went to the
truck and found his body. Mr.,
DeBoe called police.
Woman Tells of Screams.
A woman who lived near the
scene helped fix the time of death,
Mrs. Elizabeth Mays, wife of a
soldier on duty in Korea, said
that at 2::30 she heard cries for
help which continued for Is min
utes.
They were very loud at first" "
she related. But gradually be-
came fainter and died out while
dogs barked furiously. I'm sure
OF the time, because I looked at
the clock"
Mrs. Mays said she did not call
police because she thought the
cries were uttered by a drunken
person running or walking awav
from nearby tavern.
The inside of the truck, which
was equipped with trailer con-
veniences, showed no signs of a
struggle except in the rear where
the body was found.
Mr.. DeBoe would not talk about
the case but revealed that Moore's
home is at Knoxville, Tenn. He
said he understood Moore's father,
sister and daughter lived there.
Police said they did not, know
Moore's marital status. r

Lengthy Referendum
Question May Force
Use Of Paper Ballots

Arlington officials are predicting
an election day jam Of unparal-
Ieled proportions on November 4.
Lengthy referendum questions.
coupled with contests for Presi-
dency, the Senate, House and
County Board may require voters
to use paper ballots. as well as
voting machines.
Petitions are being circulated
asking that referendums be held
on whether a county attorney
Should be appointed and whether
a department of real estate assess
ments should be set up.
Already presented to Circuit
Court judges are petitions asking
votes on Incorporation of Arling-
ton as a city and other questions.
Court officials said vote on the
incorporation question by itself
would not unduly burden voting
procedure. But the other referen-
dumS, added to the incorporation
item and the other contests, would
complicate the procedure and un-
doubtedly result in long waiting
lines at polling places, these Of
ficials said.
Waiting Lines Seen.
A total vote of $4,000 in the
general election is considered a.
conservative estimate by court
house observers. Fewer than $4,000
balloted in last Tuesdays Demo-
cratic primary.
If incorporation was approved, :,
the results in most of the other
referendums would be of no sig
nificance. because they would ap-
ply to Arlington as county.
If incorporation failed, the other
questions could be presented in a
special election before the end
of this year. The General Assem-
bly,, in authorizing the balloting,
specified in some cases that the
referendums must be held in
1852.
At the moment, none of the
referendum questions has been
ordered placed before the voters.
Petitions Before Court.
Circuit Judge William D. Med
ley has before him the petition on
Incorporation.
This proposal carries with it
the main question and two others:
For or against incorporation.
Shall the members of the school
board be elected by the council
or by the people?
Shall the council have five or
seven members?
Before Circuit Judge Walter T.
Mccarthy are two other petitions:
One of them asks a vote on
whether the county manager
should be appointed for an indefi-
mite term. The other would be on
whether the manager or county
board should appoint department
heads.
If the petitions are in order, the
Judges will order the questions
presented to the voters on general
election day.
The petitions regarding the
county attorney and the assess
ment department are still being
circulated.
In addition to the election con-
tests and the proposed referen-
dums on local questions, the bal
lot will include a Statewide refer
endum on a constitutional amend
ment authorizing appropriations
for schools established by two or
more States.

Hitler backed water fast. Had he
not, the Games would have been
withdrawn from Berlin, and it is
estimated that visitors spend many
millions of dollars during these
modern festivals.
Young Owens, of Ohio, per-
formed like a superman. He won
three events and set two world
records. And when Hitler failed to
congratulate him, as on opening
day he had a victorious German
shot-putter (the first German ever
to win a Games track-and-field
championship. headlines flared all
over the world.
Why didn't Hitler shake Owens
hand? For the good reason that he
couldn't. Two days before Jesse
ran, the Committee moved in and
quashed any further such displays.
Der Fuehrer. at the moment that
the Buckeye Bullet blazed over
the finish line, was a dictator with

l HAVE seen many instances
where the Olympic ideal has
triumphed over staggering odds.
In one instance. Finland. then a
Grand Duchy of Russia, was told
that it must march in the opening
ceremonies under the Russian flag.
The Firms rebelled. Either they
carried in their own oolors. or they
would not compete. The situation
was tense. Technically, the Rus
slams were within the rules, but the
sympathy of the world was with
Finland. When the smoke
cleared, the Firms marched
with their flag flying high.
