Anti-IntegratiOn Stand
From the first, Miss Thomp-
son. a newcomer to politics
made 1t clear that she was
campaigning on an anti.
indignation plank.
The 32-year-old attorney has
labeled integration a "Commu-
mist Party dream" and takes
the position that the Supreme
Courts desegregation edict il
without legal foundation.
In her campaign literature
Miss Thompson, a county resi-
dent most of her life, is also
on record in favor of "eliminat.

books" Another plank is to
restore Arlington ito her right
full place in the State govern.

delegates from other parts OF
Virginia.
Miss Thompson's position on
the school issue is in contrast
to that Of Mrs. Stone, a liberal
Democrat now seeking her
third term in the legislature.
Only Woman Delegate
During her campaign, Mrs
Stone has referred to Virginia's
package of anti-integration
laws as q "Rube Goldberg leg
islative contraption." She
favors a pupil assignment plan,
like the one suggested by State
Senators Armistead Boothe and
Ted Dalton, coupled with
local option.
The only woman member
Of the General Assembly, Mrs.
Stone. so, has, like the other
two incumbents, campaigned
principally on her record.
She stood alone among the
Democratic hopefuls in calling
for Howard C. Gilmer, jr., to
withdraw as the party'S candi-
date for attorney general. Mrs.
Stone took this stand, in re-

The school racial question has
not been spotlighted in the
campaigns Of the remaining
three, primary candidates. Del

were ditched in favor Of Gov.
Stanley's no-integration pro-

Mann's Second Term
Mr.. Mann. q member of the
10th District Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee. is complet-
ing his second term in the
State legislature.
An attorney, Mr.. Mann, 40.
has made his home in Arline-
ton for 20 years. Among his
current efforts, Mr.. Mann has
taken a leading role in working
to establish a college branch
in Northern Virginia.
Mr. Winston. 80. also an at
torney, is seeking his second
term as q delegate from Arline-
ton.
In his campaign literature,
Mr.. Winston points out that
he introduced more legislation
than any other first-term leg
islator during the General AS
sembly's 1856 session.
Mr.. Broyhill. q builder, de-
veloper and bank official, has
pitched his campaign mainly on
financial matters. Among his
campaign suggestions Is that
the State income tax laws be
amended to exempt retirement
pay from taxation. Another
plank is to strip the State Cor
poration Commission Of its
power to assess the property
holdings Of utility corporations.
In contrast to the three del
egates who all favor O State

hikes for teachers and mental
hospital workers, Mr.. Broyhill
is on record for a levy on to-
bacco products. Mr.. Broyhill,
