Caution Urged

trial and development committee
of the Charlottesville -Albemarle
Chamber of Commerce has rec
commended cautious attitude
toward further industrial de.
velopment in this area.
A resolution was adopted ap-
proving past policies, but a CON-
lmittee added that the chamber
should not encourage industries
to come here which would inter-
fere with those now operating
here.
Recent years have been rapid
development of industry and
business in this area. New es-
Establishments include State Farm
Mutual Insurance Co., which is
now expanding its facilities: Spe-
Icialties, Inc; U. S. Instrument
Co.; Acme Visible Records, Inc. ;
and three which will locate here
in l956-Sperry Rand Corp, an
Office of the United States De-
partment Of Health, Education
and Welfare, and a division oil
the American Red Cross.
1t was the opinion of the COM
mittee that a wait and see" pol
icy should be employed at least
until these new establishments
ARE operating and their effect in
the community can be deter
mined. ri

was defeated In the general
election by Representative Broy-
hill, Republican.
Mrs. Campbell. who lives at
1912 North Glebe road, said she
did not run for reelection this
year because she felt an elective
office should not be pre-empted
by any one person and because
she felt she had made her major
contribution. The board needed
new blood and new outlooks, she
added. Mrs. Campbell said she
believes DR.. Barnard Joy. the
only other remaining member OF
the first elected board, was
needed more than she because
of his familiarity with the school
construction program. DR.. Joy
begins a new term next week.
Fighting Gray Proposal
I
MY only regret" she adds,
us that I'm going out when this
Gray commission business is
coming up-but I'm taking every
speaking engagement I can get
to fight the referendum"
Mrs. Campbell is opposing the
Gray report because, as she puts
lit. "the report which deals with
an educational problem, was
drawn up by politicians, not
educators, and the referendum
asks us to vote yes on something
when we know nothing about
what legislative action the pol
iticians will take"
AS for the future, Mrs. Camp
bell says that she hopes to have
a little more time with her IA
year-old twin sons-another son
lis newspaper man in Charles
ton. S. c., and a married daugh-
ter lives in Phoenix, Ariz.-be-
fore it's time for them to go to
college.
But she adds that she'll al
ways have time for more civic
and church work, especially that
dealing with exceptional chill

always been interested and for
whom she championed an edu-
cational program in Arlington

finally suffered a severe case of
fallen arches-into the Monoc-

.long-standing argument as to
whether it was safe.
A new bridge across the Mo-
nocacy was completed two years
later several hundred yards from
the old one. Leo's demijohn,
neglected and out of sight Of
passing motorists. began to de-
teriorate.
Target of Small Boys
Small boys used it as a target
to demonstrate their rock throw
ing ability and more than one
thirsty Fredericktonian tried to
break open the demijohn.
When it was announced that
another Monacacy bridge would
be built close to the old one to
make Route $40 dual lane, the
OAR ladies swung into action.
Frederick Regent Mrs. Paul B.
Rhoads informed the State Roads
Commission that the demijohn
should be moved to a suitable
point between the two bridges.
The State roads people said
but the ladies might have
to pay for having the demijohn
moved.
Mrs. Rhoads said that might
be. but the defnijohn was going
to its proper place. State off,
Gals said they would see what
they could do.
And that's where the matter
rests.
Joseph w. Urner, president of
the Historical Society of Fred
Ierick County, estimates that the
.demijohn weighs at least 10 tons.
THE best thing to do" he
adds with smile, might be to
Idismantle the demijohn and re-
build 1t again. 145 years
old that key should have
real authority by now"

Legislation to create an au-

built and operating.
Alexandria, Arlington. Fair

of the four jurisdictions at the

joint purchase and operation of

In the days Of English chivalry,

fore he was q. AS an outgrowth,

In modern America, young
men and women take on many
adult duties befor they are Fl,
but only Georgia, one Of the orig
lnal 13 states, lets them vote be-
fore that, at Is.
In answer to my letter of in
quiry, Governor Marvin Griffin
has responded in favor of the
lowered voting age, after IL years
experience with it. One of the
main objections beforehand was
the fear that young voters might
be exploited toward the left. !"
This has not been the case,

exercised their right of franchise
have done so Independently. Us

year-old vote there. | have no
data on this event other than
hearsay, but it is indicated that
professional politicians shy away
from the issue. Thirty state legis-
latures have refused to lower the
voting age since 1884, says the
Georgia report, Georgia being the
only state in which the question
was allowed to come to popular
vote, with more than a twoto-
one decision in its favor.
In most states, legislatures
chose to bottle up the question
in committee rather than debate
it, or put it to a vote of the peo-
pie, the Griffin report continues.
(Under a constitution providing
for initiative and referendum,
such an issue could be forced to

Many Americans perhaps do
not realize that the 21-year-old

Denmark. / agree with Bob KLEIN
that it is not the age Of the voter,

we set the age limit, it is bound

The backing and filling
around the candidacy Of Adlai
stevenson for the Democratic
nomination for President is by
this time not merely obvious
but blatant. Its basic cause, Of
course, Is that Democrats now
think they can win and all
want q share in the immense
power involved.
Mr.. Stevenson. In turn, has
been having trouble with for
rner President Truman, q SEN
ate bloc which Majority Leader
johnson has been attempting
to shape from his Texas ranch,
labor and the farmers. At this
point, the former Governor OF
Illinois resembles nothing so
much as Eliza crossing the ice
and he is fully aware Of 1t.
The nub Of the Truman
Stevenson relations Is slmple
and well known to the party's
inner circle. The two men. so
very different in background.
outlook and personality, have
never really trusted each other.
They do have one unifying
quality. Both believe that the
Democratic party is the best
instrument Of government. It
will keep them together
against Republicans: it Is not
OF much help In the present
pre-convention period.

unequiyocal support OF Mr..
Stevenson. The former Presi-
dents explanation in Chicago
was that there was bound to
be a broken field for a while
and that he wished to with
draw to q point where he could
be most effective in the
clinches.
MIR. Stevenson had not want
ed to hold q joint press con-
ference with Mr.. Truman,
feeling 1t would put Mr.. Tru-
man in an embarrassing posi-
ton. He explained that he felt
it unfair to force the former
President to answer questions
about a candidate In that
candidates presence.
Mr.. Truman brushed the ar
gument aside. He insisted that
Mr.. Stevenson stick around
and they would have some fun
with the columnists. After five
minutes, Mr.. Stevenson left to
catch a plane for Minnesota, a
State preparing to endorse his
candidacy in ringing terms.
Mr.. Truman then blandly
said he had never promised to
support MIR. Stevenson and
that he had no choice Of a
candidate.
The former President likes
to boast that he won his un-
expected 1948 triumph without
the South. He will be encour-
aged In his desire to influence
the national convention by the
rapid march Of the conserva-
tive Senate coalition, chiefly
Southern, which Senator john
