Stanley and Dalton
Take Opposite Views
On Voting Proposal
BY the Assoeiated Press

The Democratic and Repub-
lican candidates for Governor
took opposite views today on a
proposal that the annual poll
tax be replaced by a provision
that a citizen vote at least once
every four years to keep his
name on the voting list.
The proposal was advanced
yesterday by the League of
Women Voters, which asked for
repeal Of the poll tax as a pre-
requisite to voting.
Thomas B. Stanley. the Demo-
cratic candidate, took the view
this would not sufficiently guar
antee the accuracy of the voting
list and said he would want an
annual compilation of qualified
voters.
Wants List Before Each Time.
IT would want an available list
of the qualified voters before
each election as is now furnished
by the poll tax paid list," said
Mr.. Stanley.
"I would want it to be a con-
Stitutional provision: I thought
I made that clear in what I
said the other day." he said.
To a reporters question Mr..
Stanley declined to say whether
the annual compilation would
amount to a yearly registration
of voters.
Ted Dalton, Republican can
didate for Governor, said that II
am perfectly willing to have
the proposal by the League OF
Women Voters or any other
simple plan for the compiling OF
a list of voters.
Action in 43 States.
"It's been done in 43 of the
States already, and the General
Assembly can certainly provide
the mechanics for making up
such a list without any difficulty.
1T will be no real problem in
Virginia, Notwithstanding the
fact that my. opponent is seek
ing to make it appear difficult
because his motive is to keep the
poll tax" Mr. Dalton said.
He added that he was de-
lighted the League of Women
Voters had determined to pin
point the issue on the poll tax
by asking the candidates how
they stood on the issue.
Voting Would Show Residence.
The league noted yesterday
that voting itself would provide
the proof of continued residence
the function now served by
the payment of the poll tax
which has any connection be-
tween the tax and the prevention
of fraud"
Mrs. Willard Van Valdenburgh
of Alexandria, league legislative
chairman, said that 'in fact,
buying of votes by paying of poll
taxes, itself a fraudulent prac-
tice, would be eliminated" by
the league proposition.
She noted that a proposal
along this line was introduced
by Senators Robert Baldwin and
Edward Breeden of Norfolk in
the 1852 General Assembly but
that it did not pass.

for displaced employees. The
measures that have been taken
have done little good, it is point
ed out.
While the chance of finding
other Government jobs for these
employees at the present time is
not good, one suggestion being
made is that the administration
give special consideration to
these workers in the limited
number of vacancies that are
being filled.
FUTURE-The assembly points
out that many Of the employees
losing their jobs are outstanding
people In most cases, they have
lost out because their agencies
are being abolished, or because
Of lack of seniority or status, or
because they are non-veterans.
The Government is always in
need Of ability and may need
these employees in the future,
either to fill vacancies caused by
personnel turnover or because of
a future emergency program.
But there will be little chance of
persuading these employees to re-
turn to Government in future
years, with their valuable back
ground Of experience, if nothing
is done now to help them in
their hour of need, Assembly
officials point out.

said, the institution can provide
beds for 81. When its population
goes over that, mattresses are

He explained that the institu-

Dr.. Miller wanted to know
the average stay of the children
at the home. He was told that it
averaged IL or 13 days, although
one 10-year-old boy has been at
the home more than five months.
Several of the legislators ex-
pressed concern that with the
institutions limited facilities, it
cannot separate the hardened

Although the jobs of the large
majority of Federal employees are
safe, Government personnel Of
f1cials are concerned about those
capable employees who will be hit
by layoffs.
The National Capital chapter
OF the Civil Service Assembly of
the United States, a group COM
posed of top management and
personnel officials, is working on
the problem.
They feel that something
should be done for these en-
ployes, since their services might
some day again be needed by
the Government.
PROPOSALS-With the Gov
ernment currently on a hiring
restriction basis, the chances of
these employees finding other
Federal employment is very slim.

That's why the Assembly
group feels it would be a good
idea for.the Government to work
out a program whereby the best
OF these employees could be aided
in securing jobs in private in

A system whereby Government
employment officials and busi-

Johnson Says Planes
Could Best Defend
Nation's S Big Cities

Senator Johnson, Democrat of
Colorado. last night called on
Washington and other major
cities to build up their airports
and establish a reserve of "sec-
ond men" who could man jet
fighters in a moments time in
the event of air attack.
Appearing on the CHS radio
program, Capitol Cloakroom,"
Senator Johnson said that Gin
stead of all Of us scurrying
around trying to find a badger
hole" Americas cities should pre-
pare to go on the offensive.
Urges Capitol Defense.
There's no way of defending
Washington better" he said
than to have Washington sur
rounded by airports, with not
minute men but second mem
men who can get off the ground
in jet fighters in a second. don't
think there's any defense of a
city that can equal airports. Are
we so feeble and impotent that
we can't defend city like Wash
ington?"
The Senator predicted that
under his proposed system of
well-manned airports and anti
aircraft installations, attacking
planes positively could not get
through"
Star Reveals Plan.
A story yesterday by Star Staff
Writer John A. Giles reported
that the Army plans to begin
construction at once of rings of
anti-aircraft batteries around
metropolitan centers. The bat
teries will be equipped with the
new Nike" guided missile
capable of destroying planes
travelling at supersonic speeds as
far as 80 miles away. The first
installations are expected to be
ready by midsummer.
Senator johnson also said he
favors use of atomic weapons in
Korea.
II think atomic warfare should
have included Korea since June
Is, $780," he declared. II pre-
fer atomic weapons to bayonets.
I don't believe in going back to
the boW-and-arrow age We've
got to fight with everything we
have. There's no question about
it. except the people who want
to continue the military tactics
