public officials" Mr.. Hirst said.
Mr.. Gibson has been an OUT
spoken advocate of continued
segregation and favors repeal Of
the compulsory attendance law.
He proposes. however, to make
free education available to all
children. Mr.. Hirst and Mr..
Webb believe the public school
system must be preserved.
Mr.. Hirst feels the Legislature
has the duty to devise q State
policy on school segregation that
will preserve free public educa-
ton, and be constitutional and
acceptable to the people.
Mr.. Webb thinks the action Of
the Gray commission on segre-
cation SO far indicates, whether
we like it or not, the Supreme
Court decision is the law Of the
land"
All three candidates agree
that Fairfax County ought to
get more road money from the
State. This is a fayorite issue
with Mr.. HirSt, who served or
the House Roads Committee at
the last General Assembly ses-
sion.
Mr.. Webb, who served on the
House Appropriations Commit
tee. hopes to help Fairfax County
and Falls Church get a better
break on State school funds.

Water is Of particular interest
in the current campaign because
Fairfax County IL about to en-
bark on an integrated public
water problem. Mr.. Webb and
Mr.. Hirst both favor legislation
to exclude donated capital from
the price the county must pay
for private water companies
provided such legislation Il legal.

They are cool to . sales tax.

port one, however, II 1t is essen

down on State tax rebates under
the Byrd automatic tax reduc-
ton law.

volved in a Democratic primary

party's mtnse before the
choice was made.
To many outsiders this pre-
sented a queer situation when
the Democratic Party Of Virginia
exacts the same type of pledge
from its own members. The at
torney general has ruled that
person who participates in
party primary is morally obli-
gated" to support the nominee
whoever he may be. But Vir-
ginia Democrats don't want to
follow these rules at national
conventions.

Three Big Issues Foce

Three overriding issues face
the 1856 Virginia General As
sembly. most of whose members
win be selected in the July IL
primary:
l. Revisions to the State con-
stitution and the statutes which
require segregation Of white and
Negro children In public schools,
in the light Of the Supreme Court
decision.
Q. Probably the most serious
attempt ever made to enact q
sales tax.
8. Adoption of a six-year capt.
tai outlay program expected te
be recommended by Gov
Stanley to cover mental anc
tuberculosis hospitals, institu.
tions Of higher learning ant
other State agencies.
The Governor has indicated h
has no plans "at this time" Il
call a special session to deal with
the segregation problem. In tina
case, the whole touchy question
would be placed in the hands o
those elected this year.
| A special Commission on Pub
lie Education has reported sine
the May 81 Supreme Court de-
cision that Virginia should con
tinue to operate its schools on
segregated basis for anothe
year. Gov. Stanley has ex'
