For Oil Refinery
Special Dispatch TO Tn. sser

ANNAPOLIS, July 25.
special subcommittee of the
Legislative Council planned fur
ther inquiries today after a look
at a Talbot County site being
considered for an oil refinery.
The subcommittee, headed by
Senator Turner, Democrat, of

narrowed down it's consideration
from so possible sites to three
or four" including the Talbot

Senator Turner said watermen
have expressed considerable ap-
prehension" over what effect a
refinery might have on oyStering
and grabbing in the area. He
said the committee would delve
further into other effects of the
refinery on marine life. He said
the committee may take another

Ted Dalton B|ames
Virginia Poll Tax
On Democrats Rule
BY the Assoeiated rress

PORTSMOUTH, Va. July 25.
State Senator Ted Dalton, Re-
publican candidate for Governor,
campaigned in this section today
and placed the blame for reten-
ton of the poll tax squarely on
the State Democratic admin
istration.
''The reason for retention of
the tax is that the party in
power, including my opponent,
knows that by this method it
can thus keep control of the Vir-
ginia government" Mr.. Dalton
told a gathering of 100 Ports
mouth and Norfolk county
G. o. P. leaders and party mem
bers at a reception.
Recalls Fight on Tax.
Mr.. Dalton recalled that when
he entered the Virginia Senate
10 years ago he introduced a res
olution to divorce the poll tax
from voting.
But, he said, the Democratic
administration appears bent on
keeping the tax.
The national G. o. P. COM
mitteeman from Radford said he
did not think the people of Vir-
ginia, and especially of the
Hampton Roads area, are so
stamped with the Democratic
party label that they would not
vote for a Republican.
Takes Shot at Stanley. =
Going back to the poll tax,
Mr.. Dalton took a parting shot
at Thomas B. Stanley, the
Democratic gubernatorial candi-
date.
MY opponent. Mr.. Stanley,
undoubtedly favors' the retention
OF the poll tax" Mr.. Dalton said
AT least. he has never said any,
thing in his public life to indi-
cate otherwise. If he and his
organization had wanted to get
rid of it they could have joined
with us long Sgo."

Fire Bill Quiz
Is Due tuesday
In Montgomery
Hearing on Veto
Expected to Draw
Large Turnout
Washington. d. C.
SUNDAY, JULY 26, 1883

Montgomery County volunteer
firemen and civic group repre-
sentatives are expected to turn
out en- masse Tuesday when the
County Council holds a hearing
on the proposed veto of the fire
department control bill.
The crowd is expected to force
the $3.50 pm. hearing to move
from the regular council room to
q nearby courtroom.
The controversial bill, No. IL,
gives the Council authority to
set the fire tax rate in all fire
areas in the county. It will be-
come law August Is unless it is
vetoed. A 4-3 vote is required to
kill the measure.
Threat to Home Rule.
The bill has been scored by
volunteer firemen as a step to-
ward supplanting the volunteers
with paid departments. One
Council member. Mrs. Stella B,
Werner, called it a threat to the
Home Rule movement in the
State.
The successful fight for pas
sage Of the bill in the last May
legislative session was led by
Councilman Harold F. Hammond
The measure succeeded by a 4
to 2 vote.
Spokesman for the volunteers
there are 600 to 800 of them
will be Herman M. Dig. of the
Hillandale department, John
Cole. of the Silver Spring depart
ment and Joseph E. Giammatteo.
Of Glen Echo.
The council at present has no
control over the fire tax rates in
Hillandale, KenSington, Cabin
John and Upper Montgomery fire
areas.
Passed Over Objections.
Firemen also are expected to
attack a provision of the bill
which removes the tax limita-
tions in the IA volunteer-served
areas.
The council passed the bill
over objections of the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation,
the County Safety Board the
Allied Civic Group of Silver
Spring. and a number of indi-
vidual civic organizations. No
one spoke in support of the bill
during public hearings.
The civic federation has asked
the veto and the appointment Of
a non-partisan citizens COM
mittee to study the entire volun-
teer fremen situation. Most op-
ponents of the measure are ex-
pected to attend the Tuesday
hearing
The bill as finally passed pro-
vided for no public hearings at
the local level on fire department
budgets and did not restrict the
departments to abiding by the
budgets they submit to the coun-
Gil.
If the council should veto the
bill, some observers say. it prob
ably will have to veto another
measure which provides for reor-
ganization of the Kensington
fire board. The latter bill was
amended before passage to make
1t conform with the general bill.

To Bar Boost
In Milk Price
Arlington Will Ask
Injunction Against
State Bourd Action

Arlington County will seek an
Injunction to prevent the Vir-
ginia Milk Commission from
raising area minimum milk
prices until a suit challenging
the commissions authority is
ruled on by the United States
Supreme Court.
Acting on a recommendation
presented by William C. Nemeth.
Arlington Public Utilities COM
mission chairman. the board
yesterday voted unanimously to
instruct its attorney, Malcolm
D. Miller, to file the injunction
suit.
Mr.. Nemeth said the suit "un-
doubtedly" will be filed tomor-
row in Richmond Federal Court.
Before Supreme Court.
Legal action questioning the
commissions right to regulate
interstate milk commerce was
instituted more than three years
ago by the county board. The
case is now before the Supreme
Court, which is not expected to
rule on the question before
October.
The decision to seek legal re-
straint was prompted by a re-
cent request for higher minimum
milk prices from Washington
area dairies. The commission
was asked to grant a half-cent
increase in price minimums for
milk delivery to homes and sold
in stores. A hearing was held in
Alexandria July II and a de-
ciSion is expected tomorrow.
Opposes Increase.
Following the dairies' request,
the utilities commission urged
the milk commission not to
grant the increase. The Arling-
ton body further asked the COM
mission to consider removing its
regulation of prices of milk in
the Arlington area, allowing dis
tributorS Ito charge prices for
milk dependent upon competi-
ton and consumer demand"
In other action, the board:
Took under advisement util-
ity commission recommendation
to intervene in the Arnold Bus
Lines fare increase hearing
scheduled for September l be-
fore the State Corporation Com
mission. The September hear
ing will be on increases in the
company's fares inside Virginia.
The county has already filed a
protest with the Interstate Com
merce Commission requesting
suspension of the lines inter-
state fare increase proposals.

World Government
Pops Up as Issue in
Alexandra Contest

The Alexandria House of Dele
gates campaign got of to a roar
ing start yesterday over the issue
Of world government.
Mrs. Maude L. Duborg, Alex
andria OAR leader who filed as
an independent to oppose the
Democratic incumbent, Armi-
stead L. Boothe, said Mr.. Boothe
favors a world government.
The incumbent delegates rec
ord favoring this movement has
been most distressing" she de-
clared. "I cannot understand
his position favoring world gov
ernment unless it is directly re-
lated to his education as a
Rhodes scholar"
Mrs. Duborg promised to con-
fine her campaign to Mr..
BootheS record. IT think his
record should be completely exA
posed to the people of Alexan-
dria and after due considera-
ton they should make a choice, "
she said.
BOOthe Denies Charge.
Mr.. Boothe fatty denied that
he ever took any stand favoring
world government. He recalled
that the same accusations were
made during his 1851 campaign
when he defeated the Republi-
can candidate. Mrs. Viola Reid.
World government was the major
issue of that campaign.
Last year, the General As
Sembly passed a resolution which
stated that its 1914 and 1850
resolutions had been construed
by some to mean support of
world government as being urged
in some quarters. Mr.. Boothe
declared. He said this final res
olution had the support of the
OAR and he voted for it.
Calls Record Open Book.
He agreed that he had studied
two years in Europe as Rhodes
scholar-"and I do know there
are other countries over there. I"
Mr. Boothe declared that his
record in the General Assembly
was an open book-"it doesn't
need to be exposed"
There is a third candidate in
the campaign, John Alvin Gro
CHAN. who also is running as an
independent.

Arlington Considers
Social Security Plan
For County Workers

A plan to blanket all county
employees under Social Security
is under consideration by the
Arlington County Board.
A resolution adopted by the
board yesterday announced that
a social security program would
be adopted ION or by January
/, 1854"
The board is studying a pro-
posal submitted by a committee
of county officials who have been
studying the problem since early
last year when the Virginia Cen
eral Assembly authorized the
project.
Teacher Plan Adopted.
The Arlington School Board in
February, 1852, adopted a COM
bination social security and sup
Elemental retirement plan for
county teachers. The teachers
have the option of joining the
retirement plan in addition to
the required social security pro-
gram.
Yesterdays action paves the
way for the County board to take
advantage of the social security
plan but does not require it to
put it into effect. A large seq
ment of county employees are
now in a retirement plan and
police and f1remen are in a
separate plan which is considered
liberal.
But per diem wokers have no
retirement plan and are not
covered by social security.
Protest Cement Plan.
East Falls Church residents
yesterday protested issuance OF
a permit to a concrete company
for operation of loading plant
in their community.
The board heard the COM
plants but deferred action.
County Manager A. T. Lundberg
told the board the permit was
issued because the plant is to
be located IN an area zoned for
light industrial use.
Carl Skonberg, representing
the East Falls Church Civic As
sociation told the board the area
residents would be forced to take
court action after board members
indicated an immediate decision
by them was impossible.
The permit was issued July II
to the Manassas Ready Mix Con-
crete Corp.
Building Code Adopted.
A building code developed by
the Building officials Conference
of America was adopted by the
board. The action followed a
two-year study of the code by an
advisory committee composed OF
Arlington architects, engineers
and civic group representatives.
James M McHugh, Arlington
attorney who was chairman OF
the committee, said the new or
dinance establishes perform
ance" requirements. The old
code specified the use of certain
materials for certain purposes.
County heads agreed the new
ordinance will be put into effect
on October !. 1t was indorSed
by Mr.. Lundberg as basically
sound. Appeals and amend
ments under the code will be
passed on by five-man, nom
