President Eisenhower at the last

Virginia, disclosed his intentions
just before the General Assem-

memorative session here at the
restored Colonial capital. The
British Ambassador. Sir Roger
Makins. was the principal
speaker.
II believe" Sir Roger said,
that it is in the interest of the
whole world that the political
experiments in democracy which
we are watching in all parts of
the globe should succeed.
THE aggressive or subversive
forces which are operating must
be contained, not only by armed
might and the threat of mutual
destruction. but also by the
resolute will of free peoples; of
peoples who have learnt by ex-
perience that they have a better
form Of government than any
totalitarian system can offer"
Sir Roger received a warm
welcome from Virginia's Gov.
Stanley and most Of the 140
members of the General Assem-
bly, who customarily come here
every two years to commemorate
the constitutional founding Of
this Nation.
Stuart Resolution Backed
The Stuart resolution was
unanimously reported by a Sem
late Committee yesterday. The
chief patron indicated he intends
to call it UP for action on the
fioor Tuesday.
The fact that IS of the 10
State Senators are co-sponsoring
the measure and SO of the 100
House members signed an iden-
tical resolution, insures passage
of the Stuart resolution without
difficulty. This fact also foretells
the fate Of the Dalton proposal
pigeon holed in committee.
The Stuart resolution cleared
a committee after members
turned down an amendment by
Fairfax State Senator John A.
K. Donovan to remove the word
illegal with respect to the ST.
lpreme Courts action. Senator
Dalton was among those who
supported the amendment but it
was defeated by a committee
vote of IL to 4.
