Open Sessions Bill
Urged by Virginia
Press Association

RICHMOND. Jan. 4 R.-
The Virginia Press Association
today called for legislation to
require all meetings OF govern
ing bodies in Virginia to be
public.
The association at its mid
winter meeting also approved a
bill. to be presented at this
years session Of the General
Assembly. to require all public
records TO be open TO examfna-
ton by citizens.
The bill for public meetings
would require that all sessions

municipalities, boards OF super
visors. school boards and all
other boards. bureaus, COM

months ago forced several
members to resign, including
Mrs. Ann Brown, Garrett Park
leader. The rule, however. has
never been accepted by the
county caucus.
Some members resent charges
that there is anything secretive
or surreptitious" about the
county caucus.
Chairman David Reich denies
this, although he comedies
meetings have been open to
the press or public. He said that
now that the group is "organi-
rational" he believes meetings
will be opened.
1T Is not a fraternity for
which there Is an open sesame
handshake," Mr.. Reich said.
He acknowledged. however. that
membership was not open TO
all Democrats.
There is q clash within the
group between the Bethesda
Chevy Chase group and the
Kensington- Wheaton members.
Some of the former feel the

the caucus TO further their

than TO search out the best

surprised to learn that a press
conference had been held last
Thursday for distribution of a

Lombard said. He added new
members are not added except
with the unanimous approval
of the group.
The caucus numbers about
100 TO 100 persons. There are
many who feel that member
ship should not be so exclusive.
Original Plan Cited
They point out that as orig
inally organized the caucus was
to have been a forum for in
formal discussion OF party
problems with the purpose of
improving the party through
selection OF candidates and
issues.
But there are others who
would rather have the caucus
o tightly-knit political organi-
zation with rigid discipline.
This viewpoint comes chiefly
from the. Kensington- Wheaton
members who have their own
caucus which operates in this
manner.
Under q so-called "Rule
Nine" the Kensington- Wheaton
caucus members are prohibited
from taking any individual ac-
ton In political matters with

would cost considerably less

high schools now being built

He added. THE figures pre-
sented at the closed session of
the board were based on vir-
tually the opposite of this plan.
i.e.. that all existing high
schools would be used as junior
hiph schools. and that new
building would be concentrated
on senior high schools which
would cost more"

Mr.. Gleason said the cost

would be completed, providing

 "As soon as we were married he told me that if I did every thing he said things would be all right-and he put me on point system.
 When I did anything right he'd give me points, and when I did anything wrong he would take points away I never knew the results. I had so many points talk en away I guess I didn't have much of score"
 Mrs. Randall, 20, then burst into tears. After recess she said her 31-year-old husbands con- duct caused her to suffer a ner- vous breakdown.
 She got the divorce.
