Green Loses in Suit
To Force Recognition
As Party Candidate

Arlington attorney John Locke
Green today lost his suit against
the Tenth District Democratic
Executive Committee to force his
recognition as a congressional
candidate of the Democratic
Party.
A three-judge Federal Court,
which heard his case, entered a
memorandum opinion in Alex
andria Federal Court announcing
that the suit would be dismissed
and that the injunction he
sought against hte party COM
mittee would be denied. The
formal order will be entered
later.
UphOlds Primary Rules.
The 10-page opinion concurred
in by Judges Armistead Dobie,
Sterling Hutcheson, and Albert
v. Bryan, upholds constitution
ality of Virginia primary regula-
tions. which Mr.. Green chal-
lenged. .....
Mr.. Green brought suit after
the committee rejected his petit
tion to participate in the July 13
congressional primary.
The committee held that Mr..
Green failed to comply with GER
tain primary requirements: To
state that he was a member of
the Democratic Party, to execute
the standard party pledge, to
state that he voted for all party
nominees in the past general
election and to state that he
would support and vote for all
party nominees in the next gen.
eral election.
Admitted Vote Failure.
Mr.. Green, who was Republi-
can treasurer of Arlington
County for many years, admitted
in court that he did not vote for
one Democratic candidate-Mrs.
Kathryn Stone-in the last gen.
eral election.
The suit charged that the
party requirements were uncon-
stitutional if they barred him
from becoming a candidate. The
Judges disagreed.

Mondays Following

The Commissioners will ask
the Controller General for per-
mission to declare the Mondays
following Memorial Day and July,

The letter win ask for permis-
sion to follow the present policy
with respect to holidays which
fall on Sunday until some correc-
tive legislation can be prepared.
Sees No Objection.
Assistant Controller General

question that D. c. workers are
entitled to take off as holidays
the Mondays after Memorial
Day and July 4.
This is provided by law in the
District of Columbia code, he
said. whenever a legal holiday
falls on a Saturday or Sunday
However, another question
arises over administrative holi-
days"-such as the day before
Christmas or New Year'S-de-
clared "by executive order" Mr..
Keller said a commissioners
order is not IAN executive order"
Granted U. S. Workers.

granted to Federal workers by a
1852 Presidential order which
does not include the District of
Columbia. Last year, the Com
missioners followed suit for D. c.
employees.
1t was pointed out that this
problem could be solved if the
Presidential order were amended
to include D. C. workers.
