will be talking for months to come.
For some it was not their first
trip from the Cleveland Infirmary
to the home Of East Cleveland

You can't get wheel chair people

can one set tables and serve Is

Commenting, one of Vets re-
marked: "This, | think, was one

others so happy"

Many Too Late to Register
In Alexandra, Falls Church

A quirk in the law caused dis
appointment to many eligible
voters in Alexandria and Falls
Church who thought yesterday
was the deadline for registering
to vote in the July II Democratic
primary.
Yesterday was the deadline for
registering in most other Virginia
Jurisdictions but in Alexandria
and Falls Church, the deadline
had long since passed. Those
who braved the rain to sign UP
found the doors shut and the
books closed at the registrars
offices.
State law requires that regis
tration books be closed for sc
days before a regular primary
or general election. But in Alex
andria and Falls Church, where
city elections are scheduled Tues
day. the books were closed May
IA, which was 80 days before the
city election.
The overlapping of time came
about through a 1852 General
Assembly Act which changed the
State primary date from August
to July. Through an oversight
legislators apparently forgot te
change the registration statute
to prevent overlapping of regis
tration headlines in cities where

elections are generally held in
June.
Levin Mock Davis, secretary of
the Virginia Board of Elections,
said this was the i1rst year in
which there had been confusion
because city elections and State
primaries have not conflicted
since the new primary law be-
came effective.
He said there was nothing
that could be done about the
situation this year. He said cor
receive legislation badly
would be introduced at the next
session of the General Assembly
AS the books closed yesterday,
Gladys Isdell. Fairfax County
central registrar, reported total
registration had reached be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. She said
approximately 1900 had reg
istered in the past year.
Mrs: Mary Thompson. gen.
eral registrar for Arlington
County. said final figures there
will not be available until next
week. The county had 4l.100
registered voters a year ago.
Harry Wells. Falls Church
registrar. said the city has about
$500 registered. an increase OF
about 300 during the past year
Alexandria's total is about $4,000
