RICHMOND. Jan. Estate
Senator Armistead L. Boothe of
Alexandria, an opponent of the
Gray Commission program in the
recent referendum campaign, to-
day called for unity in selecting
delegates to a constitutional con-
vention.
Albert v. Bryan of Alexandria
and Frank L. Ball of Arlington
have announced as candidates
for the convention which is ex-
pected to pave the way for a
tuition grants proposal.
Mr.. Bryan supported the tut
ton grants plan while Mr.
Boothe conducted a Statewide
campaign against 1t. Asked by
reporters for his views on the
candidates, Mr.. Boothe said:
"a. the action of the con-
vention is a foregone conclusion.
II feel personally that it will
be best for Alexandria for our
people to bury the bitterness of
the campaign and to unite to
accept the decision of the State
and to do all within our power
to protect the public schools.
Both Mr.. Bryan and Mr.
Ball have indicated their
Intentions to vote for the con-
stitutional amendment but

limited to section 141 and that
section 129 is not tempered with,

Council sCIosed
Work Sessions
Hit by EwaId

An Alexandria councilman last
night strongly criticized the
Councils current practice 10
holding closed work sessions. -
Councilman John Ewald. who
had a sharp exchange with
Mayor Leroy S. Bendheim during
a Council meeting, told a Star
reporter after the meeting that
he very definitely" was against
the closed meetings.
The exchange was set off dur
ing a discussion of a request by
the Chamber of Commerce that
the Council appropriate $3.50 for
10 memberships for city employees
in the chamber.
What has the chamber ever
done for the City of Alexan-
dria?" MFR. Ewald asked.
Mr.. Bendheim said the ques-
ton was foolish" and should
never have been made by a
councilman in public"
Il refuse to be gagged" MFR
Ewald responded. II expect to
continue to ask questions wheth-
er you think they are foolish
or not. Maybe I should have
asked 1t at one of your work
sessions. he added.
Mr.. Ewald offered a motion
that the city contribute the same
amount for memberships in the
Rotary. KiwaniS, Lions and other
clubs.
/ How about including the
League OF Women Voters?" Mr..
Bendheim asked.
A motion to appropriate the
funds for the Chamber died after
q 3-to-3 vote was recorded.
Mr.. Ewald told a Star reporter
later he has walked out" on a
couple of closed work sessions,
which were inaugurated by
Mayor Bendheim after the new
Council took Office last July.
I I don't think city business
should be carried on behind
closed DOORS" Mr.. EWald said.

"As for myself, I shall continue
to devote my energies in the
Legislature toward the erection
of every possible safeguard
around the public schools. For
instance, I am convinced that.
If the Gray tuition grant plan is

RICHMOND, Jan. 25-Pre-
cinct registrars in Arlington
would be re-established. under
legislation introduced in the
General Assembly today.
1T was never the Legislature S
intention that they should be
abolished" said State Senator
Charles r. Fenwick of Arlington,
sponsor of the bill offered today
Other local legislation for
Northern Virginia now before
the General Assembly includes:
/. An amendment to the Falls
Church city charter.
2. General legislation tn t
would have the local effect of
abolishing the present method of
electing the Arlington County
Court judge and the Alexandria
Civil and Police Court judge.
3. A bill to permit Arlington
to pay fiat fees for travel ex-
penses rather than demand a
strict accounting of mileage
from its public officials.
Cuts Board Powers
The Fenwick bill would remove
from the Arlington County
Board the power to create Or
abolish the positions of local
registrars.
Mr.. Fenwick is chairman of
the Tenth District Democratic
Committee. Republicans gener-
ally disapprove of the precinct
registrar system.
In 1912, Mr.. Fenwick-then
a member of the House of Dele
gates-sponsored legislation Gre
ating the Office of Central Reg
istrar. But the system Of local
registrars-common to most Vir-
GINA localities-was continued
for Arlington.
In 1852 the Legislature passed
a law to permit any locality to
establish a central registrar.
such as Arlington had done 10
years earlier.
In doing so, the Legislature
gave the localities the right to
abandon the precinct registrar
system.
In 1854 the Legislature passed
a law requiring Arlington to
maintain its precinct registrar
system. But in March of that
year the Arlington County Board
abolished precinct registrars.
The board took its action
after the General Assembly had
acted, but before the law took
effect.
In the litigation that follow,
Democrats contended that the

The Montgomery County Dem

ganizing the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
The committee Monday night
passed a formal resolution call
ing on the delegation to carry
out platform promises of the
Democratic ticket made in 1854.
The resolution noted the DEM

commission and the Upper

county board acted contrary tc
the will Of the Legislature. Re-
publicans argued that the board
acted prior to the effective date
of the new legislation. The
courts upheld the Republicans
So the precinct registrar Offices
were abolished.
1--WE did not intend to deny the
people the convenience of regis
tering to vote at a place close
to their homes" Senator Fen
wick said. The precinct regis
trar system encourages people to
register-it makes more people
eligible to vote"
The Falls Church charter
amendments include these princi-
pal changes.
Members of the Council would
serve four. instead of two-year
terms. They would be elected on
a staggered basis--four in one
year and three members two
years later. At present. all seven
are elected every two years.
The city attorney would serve
four, instead of two years.
Staggered School Board
Members of the school board
would be appointed for staggered
terms, instead of all seven being
named at one time. Two would
be named ont year, two the next
year and three the following year
under the proposed change.
The bill that would abolish the
system of eiecting judges of the
Arlington County Court and the
Alexandria Civil and Police
Court, was introduced in the
House by Delegate j. j. Williams
of Henrico County.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-01-25

The delegation has not an
nounced its intentions on the We
toed bill. A move by the plan
ming commission to have the bill
declared invalid by the courts
has thus far been rejected al
though Montgomery Circuit
Court Judge Kathryn j. Lawlor
said the bill raises a lumber of
questions concerning the cor
porate powers of the commission.
The State central committee
also urged the delegation to vote
to override Gov. McKeldin's veto
of bill that would increase by
some 81 million the incentive
fund paid to the counties by the
State for school construction.

lowed a Six-hour conference on
school segregation problems.
While none Of the Governors
would commit himself immedi-
ately to a specific program. there
were indications Gov. Thinner
man. Gov. Stanley and Gov. J.
P. Coleman of Mississippi would
recommend resolutions that do
not contain nullification-or out
right defiance.
Griffin for Notification
OF those present, only Gov
Marvin Griffin of Georgia was
outspokenly in favor of an all
out multiplying interposition re-
solution. Also attending the
conference was Gov. Luther
Hodges of North Carolina, who
sat in as an observer but did
not join in the declaration of
policy because his States legis-
lature is not in session.
Under the doctrine of inter-
position. the States interpose
their sovereignty in the face OF
"a Federal action they consider
beyond the constitutional au-
thority of the Federal Govern
ment.
Gov. Timmerman's statement
said the Governors of the four
Southern States with Legisla-
lures now in regular session
declare:
Oppose 'EncrOachment"
That the States have not
delegated to the Federal Gov
.ernment or any agency thereof
the power to prohibit the seq
regation of the races in the pub
lie schools and we. therefore.
shall recommend to the Leigsla-
lures of our respective States
that the following action be
taken:
81. That there be adopted a
resolution of interposition or
protest in appropriate language
against the encroachment OF the
central Government upon the
sovereignty Of the several States
and their people.
%. That a call be made upon
the Congress of the United
States to take such action within
the limits of its constitutional
authority as to protect the States
and their people against present
and future encroachment by the
central Government.
g. That each State exercise
its right to enact and utilize
such other appropriate legal
measures as it may deem ad-
visable to protect its sovereignty
and the rights of its people"
