@. How long have Gregg
and Pitman shorthand been
used?-M.B.
A. The first system OF Pit
man shorthand was invented
by Sir Isaac Pitrnan (lSi3-
1870. English educator who
advocated spelling reform
and based his system on
phonetic spelling. II was
first made available to the
public in 1897. The Gregg
method, invented by John
Robert Gregg (1867-1948
of Ireland. was developed
after research into many
systems. and was first printed
in Liverpool in 1888. Mr..
Gregg came to the u. S. in
1893. founded his own pub
fishing company, and con-
tinually worked to simplify
and improve his shorthand
system.
@. What is the origin Of the
political word gerrymander?
%. S.
A. This word means TO di-
vide a political area into
election districts in an un-
natural or unfair way so as
to give one political party
an advantage over its oppo-
nents. 1t came into use in
1912 in Massachusetts, when
the State was thus redis-
tricted. Artist Gilbert Stuart
saw a map Of the newly di-
vided State. added a few
features to the outline Of one
greatly distorted district. and
produced q mythical animal
with an obvious likeness to a
salamander. To express dis
satisfaction with Gov. FL

Bottle Enioined

One Of the Republican can
didates for the General As
sembly is evidently trying to
make q political issue out Of
my vote to create the Com
mittee on Law Reform and
Racial Activities. He attacks
my vote on the basis that I
subsequently criticized the
actions Of the committee
which ] helped create.
Any thinking person win
realize that a legislative vote
cannot be based on the vague
possibility that a law might
be abused in its administra-
ton. or that a committee
might exceed the authority
actually given 1t.
Since, however. Ruther-
ford Day desires to make a
party issue Of 1t. / am will
ing to oblige. / call attention
to the fact that a majority
Of the Republicans in the
House of Delegates also voted
In favor Of the measure Gre
ating the committee.
! am also interested in
knowing that Mr.. Day feels
] "overstepped the bounds Of
authority and good sense in
aiding the passage of these
laws (the so-called six
NAACP bills) of restriction
and chicane." I wonder how
Mr.. Dalton. Mr.. Days candi-
date for Governor. feels about
this C. arge of chicanery,
since Mr.. Dalton voted for all
OF these same measures but
one. Also, all the Republicans
in the House. but one. voted
for these bills. Or perhaps
Mr.. Day didn't know that
fact when he recklessly
started welding his tar
brush.
Harrison Mann,
Member of the Virginia
House Of Delegates.
A letter from my opponent.
Rutherford Day. attacking my
vote in favor Of the Commit
tee on Law Reform and Racial
Activities. indicates that he
is confused with respect to
the true purpose Of the legis-
lation which he accuses me
Of supporting. The so-called
Thomson Committee was set
up to conduct an investiga-
ton of the many groups in
Virginia which are influence
ing or encouraging litigation
relating TO racial activities
In Virginia. Mr.. Day appar-
emily does not think that any
of these groups. whether they
be the Defenders or the
NAACP, should be subjected
TO any scrutiny. This is a
novel idea in a day when
labor unions, corporations.
and even baseball teams are
subjected to rather regular
congressional investigations. I
say that II organizations set
up to deal with racial litiga-
ton in Virginia have nothing
to conceal, then they should
not fear an investigation. II
they do have something to
conceal. then I am inclined
to think that they deserve an
Investigation.
The original bill introduced
by Delegate James M. Thorn
son TO create the Thomson
Commute contained language
authorizing an Investigation
Of the schools. When the
committee TO which the bill
was referred rewrote the
bill. that language was taken
out. When that was done.
the bill merited support.
I believe that II my Re-
publican opponent had known
these facts. he would not
have written the letter which
you published on October is.
