Growing pressure from my con

Delegate John B Boatwirght, of

intention Of not seeking reelection
to the Virginia House seat earlier
this month However, last week he
changed his mind and decided to
run again for the House position
that represents AppomattoX, Buck

Typical Of the appeals made to
Bcagwright is the following quota
ton from letter from John A.
Daniel. representative Of the Char
lotte and Prince Edward district:
The State of Virginia. more particu
lally the S0uths.de area, cannot af

run AFOUL OF
BUDGET LAWS"

No definite disclosure of the
content of the proposed charges
was made, but reports said BIZ
shop Jordan had run afoul OF
the budget laws enacted at the
last ANfE General Conference
held two years ago in Miami.
That conference denuded BIZ
shops of much of the power
they formerly held over the min
listers serving under them. 1t
also restricted the handling OF
funds by bishops to such a de-
gree it is said many prelates
have been hampered in the
most effective conduct OF the
church's business.
On the other hand the break
ing of the great control which
bishops used to hold over min
listers serving under them is said
to have been salutory. The BIZ
shops used to throw their weight
around. Now the preacher or
ganized into a brotherhood
have the upper hand and some
say are assuming even more
dictatorial attitudes then the
prelate used to exercise.
