While Israel did not "create" the

"We have done and will do what
we can to alleviate it."

Court 10 Hear Move
To Gust Registrars

Argument over the future of
Arlington's 81 precinct registrars
was scheduled to be heard in Ar
lington Circuit Court today.
The County Board last Satur-
day voted to abolish the local
registrars, although Common
Wealth's Attorney William j..
Hassan said such action would
be illegal. Later Mr.. Hassan filed
suit for a declaratory judgment
ordering that the system be left
unchanged.
Judge William D. Medley was
to hear the case today. It was
expected, however, that the
hearing might be postponed be-
cause the County Board last
night voted to retain special
counsel.
Meanwhile, State Senator
Charles r. Fenwick said that the
boards action doing away with
precinct registrars would deny
the citizens added facilities for
registering which they have en-
joyed since 1912"
Those CT us who are inter-
ested in encouraging more people
to register and vote will deplore
the action of the County Board
in recommending that the nre-
cinct registrars be eliminated, ="
the Democratic Senator said.
The boards action was by a
30 vote, with Democrat Wesley
w. Cooper and Independent
Alvin F. Kimel. abstaining. Vot-
ing for the change were board
