Budget Faces Move
To Upset Virginia 5
Tax Credit Law
BY Alex R. Preston
Stor StoH Correspondent

RICHMOND, Mar. 3.-The
House of Delegates knuckled
down today to the task of ap-
propriating three-quarter billion
dollars in the budget bill as a
final attempt was made there to
force the State Senate to sus-
pend the automatic income tax
credit law.
Nearly all of the Northern
Virginia delegation was in on a
move to throw the budget out Of
balance by appropriating about
81 million more than estimated
revenues
BY this maneuver, the budget
then would be sent to the Sem
ate where a committee has
killed the, so-called Carter bill
to suspend the Byrd tax credit
law for three years. The ST mill
lion represents the amount due
to be trimmed from taxpayers
bills next December
Setback for Stanley.
In developments. yesterday,
Gov. Stanley took a setback
at the hands of the Leg
iSlature when the House voted
to advance for final action
today the Elliott bill to tax dis
titled spirits by 3 cents per bot
tie. The revenue would be used
to rehabilitate alcoholics.
Shortly before the House
acted. the Governor let it be
known he is opposed to the
measure.
Meanwhile, Capitol corridors
buZzed over reports that Gov
Stanley had broken another
campaign promise of last year
when he Endorsed proposed
amendments to the So-called
right-to-work law.
Denial Issued.
The reports were becoming so
widespread that the Governors
office felt compelled to issue a
press release denying a state
ment by Delegate Jack Witten
Of Tazwell that Mr.. Stanley,
while a candidate last year, had
promised not to support new
labor legislation.
Meanwhile. Legislation de-
signed to restrict Fairfax County
water companies from using
contributed capital" as
basis for charging fees. has
run into Snag as a result
OF objections raised by Delegate
ArmiStead Boothe of Alexandria.
Mr.. Boothe, a member of the
General Laws Committee which
considered the bill yesterday,
said he wanted the other mem
berS to understand at the outset
that his law firm represents the
Virginia Water Co., which serves
Alexandria and a number of
Fairfax County communities.
Mr.. Boothe said he was in
sympathy with the detectives Of
the legislation. but thought it
would go too far in removing
the jurisdiction of the State
Corporation over water COM
panies.
The bill. sponsored by Dele
gate Omer Hirst. would prohibit
privately owned water companies
from requiring customers, as a
condition of serving the public
to pay for extensions of water
mains.

FIRST DEMONSTRATIONS AT AGRICULTURAL STATION
JANUARY II. 1854
FARMERS who operate on small acreages and other interested
i persons are invited to- attend a demonstration on the operation
j use of horse-drawn and small power-driven machinery, to be
esented at the Agricultural Station, Upper New Works on Sun
y January II, l954-at 3 pm.
THIS demonstration has been arranged particularly for the bene
I'll Of those small operators who have voiced the need for improve
G1ent in the blowing facilities now available to them.
WHILE plans are being made land tested whereby the plow-
.- ing services Of the Virgin Islands Corporation can reach more TAR
nlars more effectively, the farmers can also help themselves by
utilizing whatever other resources may be at hand.
THOUGH the Virgin Islands Corporations blowing services will
lie improved, it is better that farmers do not depend solely on this
assistance for it is neither practical nor economical for either the
farmer or the Corporation, to have all blowing done by the Corpora
TONS machinery.
MANY times the size Of plot or acreage a farmer desires to have
plowed does not justify the use or cost Of heavy machinery. me
work on such small acreages can readily be done by horse-draWn
equipment.
AND even though the initial blowing may be done by heavy
machinery, again it may not be practical or economical to have the
machinery return many times as the farmer may think is necessary
during the same season.
WE realize. that all small farmers do not own horse-drawn
equipment. In such case. those who do can offer their services to
neighboring farmers under contract or other agreements.
FOSTERING the use of horse-draWn machinery these times,
does not mean that we are advocating a backward step in the agri-
cultural development Of our Islands. On the contrary, any method
that can be used to lessen the handcaps. which prevent the farmer
from producing to his fullest capacities is a step forward in our agi
cultural progress.
TO-DAY in many parts of the world where agriculture has adj
vanced even farther than in these Islands, horse-drawn equipment
still makes its contribution to such advancement.
THE demonstration to be held at the Agricultural Station on
Sunday January II will be under the direction Of Dr. j. Oakes
ronor We npon1Irapn all farmers Uhn are able To attend tn take
advantage of this opportunity.

Gen. Gavin. defending the con-
troversial 280-mr1. cannon, said
he wished 1t had been developed
sooner because I'VE could have
used 1t in Korea" He made it
clear that use OF an atomic shell
in the cannon, which also can
fire conventional high explosives,
would have been q matter for
top-level political decision.
He said that the Honest John
rocket was "in many respects
more efficient" than the ESQ cam

While defending the huge 85-

conceded it's shortcomings. He
said that their vulnerability al

It has been estimated unoflcially
that about SO Of the 81 million

BY The Assoeic,ed Prs,,

LEBANON, Mo-, Nov. 23.-
Thurman Priest, avowedly as
bafiled as every one else over the
reason, was locked up today
with months ahead of him to
figure out why he killed the niece
he says he worshiped.
He was transferred to the
/ Webster County Jail on the third
floor Of the Courthouse in nearby
Marshf1eld last night for safe

There he will await trial next

year-old Jeanette Earnest last
Wednesday.
The 48-year-old auditor for a
Arm in Grand Prairie, Tex, led
searchers Sunday night to the
body Of the child he abducted
last Tuesday near her home In
Fort Worth, Tex.
Again he insisted that his love
for the child, who could pass for
much older than her years, was
similar to that Of a father for
a daughter. There was no sex
factor, he said.
Priest seemed eager to talk to
newsmen after his arraignment
yesterday at Lebanon. His brow
creased in evident puzzlement,
Priest said:
"I loved her better than any,
| thing, anybody. don't know
what they call loving, something
so much that you kill It. Just
blame it on being crazy, I
guess"
| He added that he had been
drinking heavily for days and
was in a mental fog that de-
veloped into almost q total
blackout when he led Jeannette
to the heavily wooded spot where
searchers were to stumble on
her bruised body four days
later.

To provide retirement income, more and more
