RICHMOND, Feb. 25.-A plea
for $4,000 to continue opera
ton Of the northern branch OF
the University of Virginia was
placed before the Senate FL
nance Committee today.
Northern Virginia represent
atives made the request at a
public hearing on the proposed
supplemental appropriation for
the branch college now operat-
ing at the old Baileys Cross
roads Elementary School in
Fairfax County.
Chairman Howard Adams of
the House Appropriations Com
mittee said 1t was an oversight
that the funds were not in
cluded in the House appropria-
tons bill. The lack of operat-
ing funds was discovered after
the House appropriations meas
ure had already been reported
out by his committee and sent
to the Senate.
The need for operating funds
to continue the branch college
apparently was overlooked amid
the controversy over location of
a permanent home for the
branch. The House. has in
cluded $4,000 in its appropria-
ton bill for preliminary plans
for the permanent branch.

BILL ADVANCES
IN VIRGINIA

RICHMOND. Va. Feb.
IS R.--The Virginia
House of Delegates moved
today to arm the school
teacher by statute with a
disciplinary weapon she
already possesses in COM
mon law - the right to
whip an unruly child.
The spanking bill came
up on the House calendar
for passage after receiving
tentative approval without
debate last night at the
second evening session of
the House during the 1858
General Assembly.
The bill to point up the
right of a teacher to use
reasonable corporal pun
ishment to enforce diSci-
pline was offered by Dele
gate Robert Whitehead Of
Nelson County. He said
the bill would only write
the common law into the
statute books and dispel
the notion that "a teacher
can't switch a child II he
gets out of line"
"Foolishness is bound
up in the heart of a child"
Mr.. Whitehead told the
House in quoting scripture.
but the rod of correction
shall drive it from him"

,-egaIized Bingo
FOR Charities

BY a star stan writer

RICHMOND. Feb. 2s.--Gov
Almond today came out against
q pending resolution to legalize
charity bingo games in vir-
ginia.
The Governor told a press
conference bingo is a lottery
land I do not look with favor
on it."
The resolution. sponsored by
Delegate George Cochran and
three other House members.
called for a constitutional
amendment which would allow
localities, by referendum, to
legalize charity bingo games.
The existing constitutional Ian
guage prohibits all lotteries.
Gov. Almond said he did not
see how it would be possible to
legalize lotteries for one group
without giving everyone the
right to conduct them.
Any Conflict in Stand
The Governor was asked II he
thought there was any conflict
in his opposition to the bingo
games and his earlier support
of an investigation into the de-
STABILITY of legalizing parimu-
tuel betting.
He emphasized that in the
earlier instance. he was sup
porting only a study. and added
that there is some legal opinion
that parimutuel betting does
not constitute a lottery.
The Governor also:
/ Announced that salary in
creases have been approved for
approximately 5000 highway
department employees. effective
March /.
2. Disclosed that the State
Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board will increase the prices
on pints of liquor S cents and
larger bottles 10 cents on July !.
3. Expressed gratitude to
State Senator Charles r. Fem
wick of Arlington for withdraw
ing his move for a local sales
tax. which the Gov. Almond
said he would have vetoed.
81 an Hour
The highway department
salary increases have been au-
thorized by the highway COM
mission and approved by Gov.
Almond. An estimated 1000
hourly employees will get 81 an
hour. instead of rs cents an
hour. Another 1000 employees
in the lower salary ranges will
get increases averaging 10 per
cent. This group includes high
way department field forces
and engineering technicians.
The liquor price increase. ex-
planned Gov. Almond. will
eliminate the necessity for
pending legislation to impose a
mex tax on hard spirits. 1t will
bring the localities an estimated
SO million additional per year.

American and British
 Airmen Confined To Air Base In Iraq
AMTvA TY

HABBANTYA, Iraq, R - American and British airmen and dependents--a total of 1883 per- sons -have been restricted to a small living area of this big Iraqi air base since the July IA coup in Baghdad.
 The Americans-43 officers and men-were sitting on the grass eating watermelons when re- porters reached the base Monday. They have not been harmed or threatened.
 But they have discontinued their program of training Iraqis in flying Sabre jets. The group delivered five Sabre jets here June IT under the military as sistance program.
 But since July A they have been prevented from continuing their work. They do not know what their future status will be.
 The British-bui1t base, 50 miles west of Baghdad, was turned over to the Iraqis in 1855. But the British still had refueling and other privileges for transport planes, and a contingent of 1920 airmen was here to operate air traffic control and other services. With the British are 27O de- pendents.
 At the time of the coup, the senior British officer smashed the highly secret radar and commit nications equipment. The Brit ish gradually were persuaded by the Iraqis to quit the air field.
 So far the only contacts of the British top officer here with superiors have been two visits to Baghdad. The Americans have had no contact except a single telephone call to the U. $. mili- tary assistance group in Baghdad.

Contempt Citation Recommended For Bernard Goldfine

] WASHINGTON, Rt-House in vestigators Tuesday recom- mended contempt of Congress ac- -tion against Bernard Goldfine, gift giving friend of Presidential assistant Sherman Adams.
 Chairman Oren Harris said the Investigating subcommittee's rec ommendation would be submitted soon as possible to it's parent, the House Commerce Committee.
 If endorsed by the full commit tee, the contempt citation would go to the House.
 And, if approved by the House, it goes to the US. District At torney for handling as crimi- 7 nal case.
 'sIt will have to be done quickly to get action at this session (of Congress)," Harris told newsmen.
 Conviction for contempt of Congress carries a possible penalty of ,000 fine and a years i'm prisonment.
 The contempt accusation is based on Goldfine's refusal to an- swer some two dozen questions concerning his financial dealings with Boston real estate com panies of which he is majority owner.
 Goldfine refused to answer the questions on the ground that they were not pertinent to the sub- committees investigation, which is aimed at the operations of govern ment regulatory agencies.
