 Of the cave discovered this spring on Sledge Island, he said it was not as old as some of the other finds in this part of the country but it probably had stood untouched until this year, as it was guarded by an idol which had kept the superstitious away.

 A Soviet embassy spokesman described Nina's arrest as "a very unfriendly act"
 He said he did not believe she stole the hats and considered it would indicate guilt if she ap- peared in court.
 'Under Russian law a person does not appear in court unless he or she intends to plead guilty" !" the spokesman said. "A person comes to court solely to to receive the judges decision. In Russia it is up to the police to prove that the person is guilty before going to court"

Virqinio Farm Pond Plans

|technician in Loudon County
said that, if the law is strictly
interpreted, it will mean that no
farm ponds in the Piedmont
area of the State can be built

emily needs amending.
He quoted DR.. Young, who

continue to construct ponds on
dry gullies.
Not Aimed at Farms
In Richmond, Commissioner
H. B. Holmes, jr., of the Water
Resources Division of the State

Department. said the law was not
aimed at hindering the farm
pond program, but at providing
an impetus for the storage of
excess flood waters for various
uses including irrigation.
Commissioner Holmes said
that people must use judgment
in following the law"
He said the law is the first
time the Legislature has spelled
out the rights of riparian own
ers in regard to the farm pond
program.
In Loudoun County. Mr.. King
said, there was a rush to start
farm pond construction before
the law became effective the
first of this month.

MARYLAND AND
VIRGINIA NEWS
No Bolt Action
Not a Pledge,
.VhQinian Says

RICHMOND, Va, July is R.
The statement by Southern
Democratic party chairmen at
Atlanta that they don't favor
a bolt Of the Democratic Ma
ltional Convention cannot be
construed as a promise there
won't be one, according to Vir-
ginia's Representative at the
meeting.
State Senator Thomas H..
Blanton Of Bowling Green, the
Virginia Democratic chairman
who met with party chairmen Of
six other Southern States in the
weekend get-together, said last
might the chairmen didn't make
any promises to anybody"
Regarding the declaration by
the chairmen that they did not
favor "any bolts, walkouts or
third parties" Br. Blanton COM
mented:
"Of course you never favor
those things but sometimes
you have to do it."
Platform Chief Concern
If there is walkout at the Chi
cago convention next month, it's
likely to be precipitated by dis
agreement over the party plat
form-and Mr.. Blanton said the
meeting of the State Democratic
chairmen was more interested
in the formation Of a platform
than in any particular candi-
date for President"
He added that the only way
the Southern States can hope to
carry any weight at the conven-
ton is by banding together.
Purpose Of Meeting
The party chairmen-from
Virginia. South Carolina, North
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama and Tennessee-met at
the call of Neville Bennett of
South Carolina to seek ways of
putting states rights planks in
the national platform.
The declaration they issued
Saturday at the end of their
meeting in Atlanta also called
for a caucus of southern gover-
nors and chairmen and vice.
chairmen Of delegations to the
National convention as well as
members of the platform and
resolutions committees. The
declaration said the caucus
should be held in advance of
the convention which opens

set for the caucus.

BY JAMES r. BIRCHFIELD
star stan Correspondent


LEESBURG, Va, July 16.-
Agricultural leaders and con-
servationists are of the opinion
that Virginia's new water law
will wreck the farm pond pro-
gram in the State.
Soil conservation technicians
believe that a literal interpreta-
ton of the law. which became
effective on July l. will prohibit
the building of most farm ponds
unless farmers first apply for
permission to the County Circuit
Court.
The new law provides, briefly,
that permission must be OBJ
tanned from the Circuit Court
and that plans be approved by a
registered engineer before any
obstruction may be constructed
across a water course.
Conservation technicians
pointed out that the new law
defines a water course as that
having a natural channel, a
well defined bed and banks and
in which water flows when it
normally does flow"
Affects Dry Clutches
They pointed out that this
would prevent building farm
pond dams across dry gulches
that carry only water from
heavy rains.
The law provides that no per-
mission need be obtained from
the circuit court if "diffuser
surface waters" are to be inn
pounded.
These waters are defined as
those which wander aimlessly
and do not occur in water
courses.
Loudon County Circuit Court
Judge Rayner v. Snead said he
dones not believe the new law
will wreck the farm pond pro-
gram.
He said he does not believe
the law was intended to prevent
the construction of farm ponds
where water from dry streams
or gullies would be impounded.
Judge Snead pointed out that
the provisions of the new law dc
not apply in any case in which
the consent of the Federal Gov
eminent or of any agency is
required. He said this might re-
lieve farmers from the necessity
Of obtaining permission to build
ponds. because usually permits
sion is obtained from some Fed
edal agency.

Under the farm pond program

Farmers are given financial as
