Virginia Poll Tax
Repeal Bill Is Killed;
Gas Boost Delayed
BY the Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, Feb. 20.-The
House Privileges and Elections
Committee yesterday killed the
Page poll tax repeal bill and
administration leaders in the
Senate decided to delay action
on the bill to increase the gaso-
line tax from 6 to z cents a
gallon.
There were reports that a
motion would be made to re-
commit the gasoline tax increase
until administration leaders
could make a closer check of
the expected vote, but when it
was reached on the calendar
Chairman Robert o. Norris of
the Finance Committee asked to
have it passed by for the day.
The Senate was reported al
most equally divided on the bill
"a recommendation of the Gov
ernor.
Adjourned Without Action.
The Finance Committee ad.
Journed without taking action.
The House Privileges and Elec-
tons Committee voted Z to S
against the Page poll tax repeal
bill. Delegate Walter A. Page
of Norfolk moved to report it to
the floor. but Delegate John War
rem Cooke of Mathews moved to
kill it and was supported by the
committee.
An identical Page bill was
killed two years ago.
A new throng of pro-Carter
bill hackers crowded into a large
committee room to speak for the
measure. designed to suspend for
two years the Byrd tax credit
law and make available for ap-
preparation at this session 81
million now earmarked for re-
turn to income taxpayers next
fall. Speakers in favor of re-
tanning the Byrd bill helped
swell the crowd.
Digging Its Grave"
Delegate Stuart B. Carter, de-
claring himself a staunch or
ganization" man, said the domi-
nant conservative wing of the
Democratic Party was digging
its grave if it killed his bill. He
said the people would ask why
If the. needs of the State were
not met. the money was being
given back to them.
Senator Harry F. Byrd, it,,
author Of the Byrd law, Senator
John H. Temple and Lewis Pur-
dey. executive director of the
Peninsula Industrial Commits
sion, spoke against the Carter
bill.
But Mrs. H. Stanley Bailey
president Of the Virginia FEEDER
alton of Women's Clubs, said her
organization-"a very conserva-
tive women's organization in Vir-
ginia which believes in sound
fiscal policy'-wanted to see the
ST million made available for
schools, health and other needs.

Cory Spillane
Movie Slated
AT The Strand

A Mickey Spillane story, with
its blondes, blood and beating, has
once again been excitingly tran
scribed to the screen in 'The Long
Watt" which makes its local debut
Sunday at the Strand Theater
through United Artists release.
Starring Anthony Quinn, Charles
Coburn, Gene Evans and Peggie
Castle, along with a liberal quota
Of lucious females headed by Mary
Ellen Kay, Shawn Smith and De-
lores Donlon, the Spillane story
tells of the valiant effort of an
amnesia victim to clear himself
OF a framed murder rap. The
first Spillane mystery novel, "I,
The jury" made its screen bow
last season.
Anthony Quinn, is husky, hand
some and hard -boiled as he goes
about trying to prove who he is
and what he didn't do, namely
bankrobbery and murder. In the
course of his search he comes
across many a luscious and will
ing babe, which doesn't exactly
disconcert him. In fact, it fits
in with his plans ideally, for he
is looking for an ex-girl friend
whom he thinks can clear him of
the rap-and the one way that he
can identify her is by the way
she kisses. On the other side of
the ledger, he tangleS with one of
the toughest meanest, unscrupu-
lous gangs of crooks and gamblers
to have ever been created by
murder master Spillane. And
Quinn & Co. (including his bevy
of Lovelies) get their share Of
gruelling goings-over. AS an ex-
ercise in mass carnage and blood
letting. "The Long Wait" out
strips even the previous 81, The
Jury"
The picture was produced by
Lesser Samuels and directed by
Victor Sayille. Alan Green and
Lesser Samuels adapted the
Mickey Spillane novel to the
screen.
The Spillane fans certainly won't
be disappointed with this one, and
those who haven't yet been expos
ed to his sensational style, are in
for a new experience in mystery
thrillers.

Since there are already num-
Der of public and private institu-

that the possibility be explored OF
placing those few children who

The development Of receiving

authorized.
In fact, there had been no child
