FenWick Would Preserve
Virginia Dogwood

Roanoke, April %. Charles r. Fenwick,
candidate for Governor of Virginia TODAY
stated that one of the first bills he would
recommend to the Legislature is law pro.
hibiting the wanton destruction of Vir-
ginia's state flower, the dogwood.
Fenwick said that members of several
garden clubs in the State had called his
attention to the mass destruction of Vir-
ginia's dogwood for commercial use and
firewood. ''It has been reported he said,
that dogwood is being cut and hauled by
truckloads out of the Blue Ridge region. The
despoiling of Yirginia's beauty for a very
limited commercial purpose is tragic
thing We must not lose the dogwood which
clothes our woodlands, our valleys, and our
mountainsides in the Spring with it's eter-
nal beauty. We must protect it's flaming
foliage in the Fall Every conservationist
realizes it's Importance to wildlife."
Fenwick said that his attention had been
directed to an article in the Garden Gossip,
the official publication of the Garden Club
of Virginia and the Virginia Federation of
Garden Clubs, which told of commercial
advertisement for dogwood published in
Winchester, Virginia, paper The article
stated that upon investigation it was found
that the advertiser wanted the dogwood
for timber, paying $50 cord for that mea-
surfing five feet long and five inches in di-
ameter and having three inches of white
heart wood This heart wood to be used to
make shuttle blocks for spinning mills, by a
Massachusetts corporation.
Fenwick called upon all garden clubs to
publicize this destruction of Virginia's most
beautiful tree. What is Virginia without
her Dogwood," he asked?

increments of $3.50. year up to eight
years.
Senator Fenwick told the assembled Vir-
ginia clubwomen that the bottleneck today
in school construction is insufficient money
in the State Literary Fund. He said that
he would continue the Battle Fund for a
reasonable period of time to those commu-
mites who have not yet used their allo-
cation, and that he would recommend the
appropriation of $4,000 900 to the Literary
Fund in the next biennum from revenues
which heretofore would have been ear
marked for the Battle Fund
He said that in addition he would rec
ommend to the General Assembly imnedi-
ate passage of the resolution which would
authorize the communities to borrow money
Tor school construction from the State Re-
tirement Fund.
Sentaor Fenwick said that he had "al-
ways carried the program of the women
OF Virginia in the legislature" and that
ne would continue to maintain that inter-
est as Governor. "As a part of that pro-
gram l will recommend to the General
Assembly an increase from $2O4 a day
to $3.50 day for the care of our mental
patients"
Pointing out the need for additional
beds for Negro tuberculosis patients, Sem
ator Fenwick urged the completion of ST..
Phillips hospital in Richmond and the To-
cation of new hospital in the Tidewater
area, provided that the hospital is made
a part of an urban medical center.
At present, he continued, communities
qualifying under the Hill-Burton program
are required to put up 62 percent of the
cost of the hospital construction. Previ-
ously, the matching was 55 percent of
State and Federal Funds, plus 45 per-
cent of local funds. He said that he would
recommend the inclusion in the budget of
Sl,6Il 600 for the next three years so that
matching funds could be restored for these
projects to the original 55-45 percent form
ula.
Sentaor Fenwick emphasized that the
time had come for the State to recognize
the problem of mentally retarded and ply
slcally handicapped children. He said that
ne would add qualified person to the
Special Education Division of the State
Board of Education to assist localities in
organizing special education programs and
to coordinate the facilities of the health de-
partment, mental hygiene clinics, and other
groups through whose teamwork there may
be total approach to the problem of edu-
eating these children. Senator Fenwick ex-
pressed the desire of having qualified wo-
men serve in government. He expressed
qualification at the number Of women can
didates running for the General Assembly

Long Sought by FBI,
Seized in California
Thompson and Steinbere.
4 Companions Arrested
In Sierra Cabin Hideout
By the Associoted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 28.-
Two fugitive Communist leaders
and three companions, charged
with harboring them in a re-
mote mountain hideout, were
swept up in dramatic capture
yesterday by FBI agents posing
as campers.
A fourth follower was picked
up late last night, 100 miles
away.
All were jailed quickly-one of
them in grim Alcatraz Prison in
San Francisco Bay.
Sixteen FBI agents in camp
ers' blue jeans caught Robert
George Thompson and Sidney
Steinberg in a cabin 5000 feet
up in the rugged Sierra Nevada,
about 200 miles east of San
Francisco.
Their arrest climaxed a re-
lentless two-year manhunt.
Rushed to Alcatraz.
Thompson, one of the IL top
Communist leaders convicted in
1851 of violating the Smith Act,
was rushed to Alcatraz. He dis
appeared two years ago when
ordered to report to Federal
Court in New York for commit
ment for a three-year prison
term.
He will serve that three years
at another prison, the FBI said.
Steinberg. indicted with 81
other "second-string" Reds in
1851 on similar Smith Act
charges, was Jailed here on
100000 bail. He will be ar
raigned for removal proceedings
to face trial in New York.
The other three captured in
the Sierra hideout were locked
up in San Francisco County Jail
on $35,000 bail each. The FBI
identified them as Carl Edwin
Rasi. 40. a Minnesota Communist
leader; Samuel I. Coleman, AZ,
of New York. described as a
veteran Red and leader in the
Communist underground since
1851, and Mrs. Shirley Keith
Kremen. 81. a reported leader of
leftist activities in Los Angeles.
Charged With HarbOring.
Hours after the first five had
been arrested, FBI agents picked
up Patricia Blau, AZ, near Stock
ton, Calf, and charged her with
harboring the fugitives.
The FBI said an automobile
found in the mountain retreat
was registered under one of Mrs.
Blau'S six aliases. She was
described as a Canadian-born
Communist organizer who was
naturalized in New York last
year.

.CTC Directors Order
New 4Oc Dividend
As Earnings Drop
Action Maintains Rate
At so, Although
Revenue Is Disappointing
By Donald B. HodIey

Directors of Capital Transit
Co. have declared another quar-
terly dividend of 40 cents a
share to maintain a rate of 81 go
a year, despite disappointing
revenues.
Directors increased the rate to
$160 a year late in February,
although the company had failed
to earn the previous $1.40 rate
in 1852.
At that time a company off,
cial said directors felt the in
crease was justified 1by "poten-
tial earnings through 1858, plus
the size of the undistributed
surplus available for dividends. "
He apparently referred to hopes
that a substantial fare Increase
on August 80 last year would
bring a comfortable rise in 1853
results
Payable October.
The new Accent quarterly pay
ment, declared yesterday but not
announced until today, will be
payable October l to holders of
record September IL.
July net income of the COM
pany, reported yesterday was 10.5
per cent behind July, 1852, al
though net income for seven
months this year ives 80 per cent
higher.
The seven months net of
$638, ,499 compared with $590.047
year earlier. For the entire
year, the company will have to
earn $1,536,000 to cover the 81 go
dividend rate for 100000 shares
of common stock. July net in
come of $48,244 compared with
$50, 1922 in July last year.
Revenue Up IL Per Cent.
Despite the fare increase of
August, 1852, the seven months
operating revenues of $17,025,-
647 we're only II per cent ahead
of $16,749,231 a year earlier. A
major offset was a 10.7 per cent
decrease in passengers to total
of I'll, ,502,937.
Similarly. July operating reve-
nues of $2,346,373 were only IA
per cent above $2,314,536 a year
earlier. Passengers totaling 49,
460,057 decreased 10.7 per cent.
President J. A. B. Broadwater
said it was impossible to hazard
a guess as to whether 1853 earn
ings might cover the higher divi-
dends. "We will have to wait
at least until September for a
more complete picture" he de-
clared.
