"a word of encouragement from
Gov. Stanley.
The Governor said yesterday

mond, would be a good idea if
it can be worked out"
Under the plan. Mr.. Pollard
suggested Richmond's seven
delegates be elected in individ-
ual races. with seven distinct
contests. Each candidate would
declare himself against a spe-
cific candidate, or for a partic-
ular seat. instead Of running
against the field as at present.
In single-shot voting. votes
are cast for only one candidate
where several votes may be
cast. In Tuesdays primary
election. for example. Colston
A. Lewis, the only colored man
running for nomination to the
House of Delegates, placed
eighth in a field of IA for
Richmond'S seven nominations.
He came close to winning
nomination when several thou
sand single-shot votes were
cast in Richmond's predomi-
nantly colored neighborhoods.
While Gov. Stanley said Mr..
Pollard'S proposal would be
good IF it can be worked out
so candidates would be opposing
certain men and not the entire
field" he indicated he would
be opposed to a plan which
would split the city's seven
seats among districts.
Mr.. Pollard is following up

he asked for reaction to the
proposal. Mr.. Pollard said the
plan has been used successfully
in Arkansas several years.
II he introduces such a bill
in the General Assembly next
year, Mr.. Pollard has said. it
would affect only Richmond.
Several other localities in the
State also have more than one
delegate.

in such a way that it was pos

heard about the other two from
the neighbors.

Stanley Scans
School Funds
Law Changes

RICHMOND. July IL (R.-
Gov. Stanley has held out the
possibility he may recommend
some changes in the school
fund cutoff plan.
The plan. which automat-
ically cuts of State money
from any local school system
whenever a colored child is
admitted to a white school,
forms the keystone of the ad-
ministration's no-integration in
the public schools program.
Gov. Stanley declined to tell
his press conference yesterday
just what changes he had in
mind. but said they probably
would make very little differ
ence" and would be only slight
changes that might improve"
the workings of the law.
VIII See Advisers
He said he wanted to discuss
the changes with his budget
advisers before reaching any
conclusion.
The Governor also declined
to say whether he intended to
keep the fund cutoff provision
in the budget bill he will sub
NIT to the General Assembly
next January. He did say,
however. he felt the legislation
belonged in the Appropriation
Act, which makes the budget
recommendations law.
He also said he did not in
tend to make any other recon-
mendations for changes in 9TH
Ter parts of the no-integration
package and had not discussed
the possible cutoff changes
with Attorney General j. Lind
say Almond. jr.. the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial candidate.
Speculation as to what the
Governor might have in mind
conferred on the possibility
some way might have been
found to cut OF funds only
from an integrated school,
rather than from an entire
school system.
Is Plan; Expires in 1858
The fund cutoff plan will ex-
pire with the old budget act
on June 80. 1858. unless re-en-
acted in the 1958-60 budget
bill or renewed separately as
a general law by the 1858
General Assembly.
State Senator Ted Dalton of
Radford, Republican candidate
for governor, has used the fund
cutoff plan as his prime target.
He argues the whole Stanley
program including the fund
cutoff. is bound to collapse
under attacks in the courts,
leaving Virginia either defense
less to prevent indignation in
the classroom or without
schools.

Among the opponents are land
owners, real estate developers
and other groups interested in

Of the principal cases dis
cussed was that of a 13-year-

snuff when she was 6.

Of snuff and tobacco upon the
advice of her family physi-

Traditionally, snuff is sup
posed to have such beneficial
qualities. Some users main
tain it can soothe toothaches.
More commonly today. how
ever, the snuff habit is ac-
quired not in pursuit of a
health color but as a cigarette
substitute for workers who
are not allowed to smoke

men who handle explosives.

There the user permits 1t to

One elderly user, a woman,
has been doing 1t that way

No one seems to know why
the market for snuff does
remain so constant, year in
and year out-much more so
than either chewing or pipe
tobacco. Some new users
must be taking up the habit.
Perhaps some people still
find reason TO agree with
Benson E. Hill, author of "A

in 1910. He maintained that
