Alexandra Vote
SitdoWn Hinted

The president of the Young
Democrats in Alexandria. who
walked out of a political meeting
Thursday. indicated yesterday
that some voters who favor in
tegration may sit out the Demo-
cratic primary election for the
Icity's seat in the House Of Dele
lgates.
George A. Faith, who also is
chairman of the Young Demo-
Gratis in the Tenth District, said
"A vote for one is a vote for
the other"
Mr.. Faith. who previously sup
ported challenger Albert A.
Smoot. walked out Of a debate
between Mr.. Smoot and incum-
bent James M. Thomson when he
failed to get a satisfactory an
swer from Mr.. Smoot to a ques-
ton on the candidates stand
on school Indignation.
Says Issue "Sidestepped"
Mr.. Faith. also treasurer Of
the Alexandria Democratic
Committee. said he favored in
tegration and we've waltzed
through several elections with
no clear-cut statement = the
candidates have sidestepped the
issue since 1884"
The school racial problem is
the major issue in the Thomson
Smoot campaign. Mr.. Thomson
favors segregation and has
backed Virginia's about drive
to maintain separation Of the
races. Mr.. Smoot has advocated
pupil assignment plan handled
on a local basis. which he says
would comply with the Supreme
Court ruling but would maintain
a maximum Of segregation.
ION the one hand candidate
Thomson says segregation at all
costs. and on the other hand.
candidate Smoot says Segrega-
ton at the cost Of a few excep-
tions." Mr.. Faith said. THE one
says segregation at the cost Of
abandoning the public school
system and the other says pre-
serve the public school system at
the cost Of some migration" he
added.
Won't Support Either
From what has been said in
this campaign to date. I feel that
a vote for one is a vote for the
other. That being the case, 4
cannot support either" Mr.. Faith
said.
He said the basic issue is equal
ity Of citizenship. He said It ex-
tended beyond public schools
and involved the fright Of all
citizens to a free and equal use
Of public and semi-public facil-
tiles, including parks. buses. res
taurants. etc."
To the candidates. Mr.. Faith
said "you do not differ in your
stated purpose-continued denial
OF complete equality-but you
differ only in the means 70 an
end"
