U.S.Renews Attempt to Attach
House in Black Market Case

The Government still is try
ing to collect some of the $780,
600 it says an Air Force warrant
officer collected through finan-
cial deals on the Turkish black
market,
Fairfax Circuit Judge Paul
Brown yesterday began hearing
the Governments latest attach
ment suit against the officers
home on Poplar lane near Falls
Church. The first such suit failed
last spring because the court
ruled against admission of
hearsay Government evidence.
The warrant officer, Kenneth
Robertson, did not appear at yes
terday'S proceedings. He is serv-
ing a year in a Turkish prison.
He was convicted of violating
that country's black market
laws.
Robertson was financial officer
for the American air attache at
Ankara. Turkey. from 1949 to
1851. during which period Gov
eminent charges the fancy
financial deals took place.
Legal Rate Indicated.
He is accused of taking Ameri-
can money issued for his f1nan-
cial work and exchanging it for
Turkish lire on the black mar
ket, instead Of at legal banks.
The black market paid a lot
more for American money than
the legal rate Of exchange. The
Government says Robertson poe
keted the excess Turkish money
so obtained.
His official financial records,
however, indicated the American
dollars were converted at the
legal rate of exchange. Thus
there was no shortage in his &C
counts.

Dalton Cites Senator Byrd
As Cooperation Example
BY the Assue,oted Press

Ted Dalton, Republican candi-
date for Governor. has pointed
to the top man among Virginia
Democrats, Senator Byrd, as an
example of how a Democratic
legislator can cooperate with
a Republican executive.
He cited the cooperation
Senator Byrd-he didn't men,
ton him by name-has given
President Eisenhower. He said
in television program that this
argues against the Democratic
claim that Republican Govern
or would not get effective CO.
operation from Democratic
General Assembly.
Meanwhile, Thomas B. STAN
ley, Democratic nominee for
Governor, was declaring in a
statement that Mr.. Dalton's sug-
gestion for an optional rental
system" for providing textbooks
in Virginia's public schools was
old hat.
Mr.. Stanley said Virginia al
ready has rental system and
that there are ABUSES" in the
rental as well as the free text
book systems.
Earlier Mr.. Dalton told the
Richmond Kiwanis Club that
Estate employees who are doing
their jobs properly" have Moth
ing to fear from a Republican
Governor.
MIR. Dalton's statement was in
answer to Representative Smith
who had told a Democratic rally
Thursday that "all you State
employees have a personal in
terest in this election. Where
are you going to be if they elect
a Republican Governor"

Split
On Sales Tax
For Virginia
Democrats Favor
Rebate Low Change
At Mclean MEETING

Money talk monopolized the
interests of about 1875 Mclean
area residents during a meeting
last night at which candidates
for the Fairfax-FallS Church
seats in the Virginia House Of
Delegates spoke.
Republican candidates Harris
T. Richards and Mrs. Cynthia
Zimmerman said they favor a
Statewide sales tax as the means
OF financing needed improve
mentS.
Democratic candidates Omer
L. Hirst and John C. Webb OPP
posed the sales tax plan, but
favored modification of the
States automatic tax reduction
law and encouragement of new
business in the State to broaden
the taxable base.
Agree Money Needed.
All agreed that more money
for schools, highways and null
tiple other State and local serv.
ices is needed. The candidates
also agreed that formulas used
in the distribution of State funds
to localities should be changed
to give Fairfax and Falls Church
a higher return of funds collect
ed in the area.
Mrs. Zimmerman, describing
the G. o. P. sales tax proposal,
said the levy would not apply to
food, medicine or other items Of
daily living necessity.
II don't particularly like this
tax and I have been told it is
political suicide to put it in q
platform, but I defy any one to
explain how else the money
needed for improvements in the
State can be raised" she de-
cleared.
Democrats Answer.
Mr.. Webb said the Democrats
| answer to that challenge is to
change the automatic tax re-
duction law which has resulted
in $40 million being turned back
to Virginians after it was al
ready collected.
This action, coupled with
changes in the State aid formu-
lac could provide the money
needed for local improvements
without requiring a local real
estate tax increase, he said.
The candidates also agreed
that the poll tax law as a pre-.
! requisite to voting should be
repealed and that exemptions
for dependents under the State
income tax law should be raised
from 5000 to $500.
The meeting was sponsored by
the Mclean Citizens Association
in the Franklin Sherman Ele-
mentary School.

Bids to White House
Receptions Changed
Invitations Issued Last Week
To First of Series Of Levees
f Series Of LeVeeS
By Kothorine M. Brooks

The invitations issued by Pres
ident and Mrs. Eisenhower last
week for the first of the formal
State leveeS shows marked
changes from those of the past.
The Great Seal. with its radical
changes Of 1945, was used by the
Trumans but the type of the
script this year is much larger
than in former years.
The great seal, in gold at the
top of the white card, was
adopted in 1945 and shows the
eagle with his head turned to
the left instead of the right as
formerly. There is a very def
mite difference in the shield,
which at first glance could be
taken for the body of the eagle.
In the old seal the shield has
very plain stripes, in the new one
they are missing. There is the
same laurel branch in the left
claw, the same arrows in the
right and around the whole
circle of 48 stars representing
the States of the Union.
Wording Similar
The wording of the invitation
follows closely those of past
administrations: THE President
and Mrs. Eisenhower request the
pleasure of the company Of
at a reception to be held at the
White House Tuesday evening,
November the tenth, nineteen
hundred and 1fty-three, at nine
o'clock"
The wording was the same
when President and Mrs. Hoover
sent invitations for a reception
Thursday evening, October 13,
1882. The Hoover cards were
slightly taller and perhaps thin
ner but the script was much
smaller. The script on the cards
for the present administration
seem to crowd the card the let
tiers are SO much larger. The
perfection of the name hand
written in the script of the en-
craving is remarkable.
The outside envelope for invi-
tations in the administration of
. President Warren c. Harding,
like those today, bore the White
House embossed in gold on the
upper left hand corner In those
days there was a second envelope
on the back flap of which ap-
peared the seal like that on the
invitation card. This extra en-
velope was dispensed with as an
unnecessary expense and labor
The inside envelope had to be
addressed to Mr.. and Mrs.
while the outside envelope bore
the given name as we'll as the
family name.
lnvitotions Mailed
In years past these precious
cardboard invitations were de-
livered by hand. Now they
come through the mail with a
Scent stamp. IncloSed with the
engraved invitation is a small
card with the name Of the guest
written in full, number in the
upper left hand corner and the
date and hour of the reception

Penny Rdgwoy Looms as One of Best Dressed Women;
Big Street Club Dinner to Fete New Dominion Envoy

Penny Ridgway, wife of Gen.

ing the cut was good and the
fit perfect. She looks well in
both soft feminine blouSeS and
full skirts and the new style

torso line that fits the figure
like a glove.
Penny has also added some
chic to Quarters l at Fort
