representatives in an obvious
move to hinder Negro regiStra-
tions. The bill was introduced
at about the time the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People was an
nouncing plans for a stepped
up Negro registration drive in
Virginia.
Gov. Almonds ruling in 1948
was in response to a request by
Levin Mock Davis, secretary of
the State Board of Elections.
Ruling on Section 20
Mr.. Davis had received re-
quests from registrars inquiring
whether section 20 of the State
Constitution covering registra-
tion permitted use of printed
applications.
Gov. Almond ruled that
printed forms used in many
sections of the State "are in
contraVention of the letter,
spirit and purpose" Of the law.
Mr.. Davis said all registrars
were notified that printed ap-
plications should not be used.
In the same opinion, however,
Gov. Almond added:
1T is not only permissible,
but it is the duty Of the reg
istrar to inform every appli-
cant, desiring such inforrna-
ton. as to the requirements of
the law. These are spelled out
by the statute, viz: the full
name of the applicant, his age,
date Of birth, place of birth,
residence, occupation at the
time application is made /.
and State, county and precinct
in which he last voted"
In this opinion. Gov. Almond
declared:
information as to the re-
quirements of the law is not
that aid or suggestion against
which the law inveighs."
Pending Legislation
This would appear to be less
stringent than pending legis-
lation that Gov. Almond has
indorsed, which not only speci-
f1es that all registration be
made on blank paper, but also
states:
"While making in writing his
application for registration the
applicant shall not be permitted
to refer to any pamphlet. book
let or other memorandum,
printed or written, nor to dis
cuSs with any person any matter
concerning the requirements
necessary in order to regis
ter. :"
The legislation also would re-
move from Office any registrar
who violates terms Of the pro-
posed law.
Senator Gray today said,
however. that he did not believe
anything in his bill would pre-
vent registrar from advising
an applicant what information
should be written on the blank
page given to him.
Gov. Almond told a press con-
ference last week that he in
dorsed the pending blank
paper" registration law, and
commented that its purpose was
to give force to existing con-
stitutional requirements for
registration.

The Communist Party is out

no secret of its leanings toward

Mr.. Karamanlis, a 51-year-
old Macedonian, has headed
the government since 1855. In
the Parliament elected in 1856
his party held 1862 of the 800
seats. The Premier resigned
two months ago after a dispute
with other leaders of his own
party, and King Paul ordered
the elections.
The new election law, aimed
at eliminating the small splin-
ter parties, provides bonus seats
for any party polling more than
Is per cent of the popular vote
or for the two parties polling
the largest vote. The EDA and
the Liberals thus were in a

1T is costly but the only al

BY GRACE BAssETT

The Districts six-year, sli2.2
million public works program
cleared the House District
Committee today, despite a
heated wrangle over admins
tration Of the school system.
The fuss arose among COM
mitteemen In the closed session
because $37.5 million school
construction is the lions share
Of the proposed construction.
Members said afterward the
whole works proposal might
have been scuttled but for the
skillful plotting Of Representa-
tives Smith. Democrat Of Vir-
ginia, and O'Hara, Republican
Of Minnesota.
SIS Million in Loans
Besides the spending meas
ure. the bill reported to the
floor includes a proposal for
SIS million in Federal treasury
loans to finance building and
annual Federal payments to
the District of $32 million.
Committee Chairman Nc
MILAN. Democrat Of South
Carolina. said committee con-
cern centered on proper ad-
ministration of education.
Il can't say that poor ad-
ministration is the fault Of any
one person." he said. "The
difficulty is to determine where
to build new schools. You may
need one in the Southwest
today and not next year be-
cause of shifting populations
and changing conditions in the
city"
Other committee members
described the exchange over
the schools as more pointed.
Two District lawmakers sug-
gested another Investigation Of
the District schools. Had this
idea been accepted. it would
have opened a probe similar to
the one conducted by Repre-
sentative Davis, Democrat Of
Georgia. That one was inter-
preted as a protest, in part, to
what some persons felt was too
hasty integration here after the
Supreme Court ruling.
Not one member expressed
satisfaction with the standards
Of education in the District, it
was learned.
Smith Defines Issue
But Representative Smith,
who headed the Joint Congress
sional committee that drafted
the public works bill. rescued
the program by insisting that
the question before the full
committee was whether to i'm
prove school facilities or let
them decay.
Without Mr.. Smith and Mr..
