Star Stah Writer

Alexandria State Senator Armi-
stead L. Boothe is back in step
with Virginia once more after a
lonely few years Of political exile.
His pace hasn't changed. But
Virginia's has. The States new
Official policy on school segrega-
ton pretty well comedies with
what ARMY Boothe had been
preaching for years.
The net result was a smashing
victory in Tuesdays Democratic
primary for Senator Boothe over
Marshall l.. Beverley, who tried to
ride into Office on a dead horse
called massive resistance.
1t was a victory which Senator
Boothe comedies would not have
been possible two years ago, when
his voice was one of a few raised
against Virginia's old school-clos-
ing fund-cut-off laws. The deci-
sive outcome puts Alexandria's
senior lawmaker back on top po-
litically in his own bailiwick, and
serves notice on Richmond that
he is a man to be reckoned with
in the halls of the General AS
Sembly.
There was plenty OF reckoning
with Senator Boothe when he
made his debut in Richmond in
1913, as freshman member OF
the House of Delegates.
Variety Of Assets
He had all the earmarkS of a
man who was going places with
the aid Of Virginia's Democratic
organization He was smart "a
Rhodes scholar had an excellent
background (son of Democratic
leader Gardner L. Boothe) and
possessed the same type of win
ming personality that helped put
Nelson Rockefeller in the execu-
tive mansion at Albany last year.
The Democratic organization,
which takes its name from Sena-
tor Harry Flood Byrd, welcomed
the energetic attorney from Alex
andria with open arms. One of
his first assignments was the in
PRODUCTION of Gov. Tuck's so-called
anti-Truman bill. Yes indeed,
Army" Boothe was on his way.
A future Governor, some said.
1t was not too long, however,
before the up-and-coming legis-
lator with the busy mind began
to show signs of troublesome in
dependence. With a group of pro-
greSsive legislators called the
Young Turks, he led a successful
revolt against the old Byrd auto
matte rebate law, which was max
ing it hard for Virginia to meet
growing State needs.
Party leaders were embarrassed,
but tolerant. There always has
been room at Virginia's Demo-
cratic table for those within the
organization who engaged in some
friendly infighting now and then.
EorIy Warning
Senator Boothe really began to
get out of step with Virginia in
1949, although it was not very
apparent then. An article he
wrote for the Virginia Law Re-
view that year foreWarned the
State of the coming school dc
segregation decision. In 1t he
referred to a dissenting opinion
written by Justice Harlan in an
1896 segregation case which said:
But in view of the Constitution,
in the eye of the law, there is in
this country no superior, domi-
nant, ruling class of citizens. Our
Constitution is color blind"
Senator BOTTLES article pre-
dicted that sometime in the not
o-distant future, Justice Harlan
will be found to be speaking for
the majority of the Supreme
Court of the United States" He
said, when the past's minority
becomes the futures majority,

nature of his disagreements with
Mr.. Dulles were never made pub
lie. but Mr.. Bohlen was openly
opposed by powerful Republican
elements in Congress because Of
his role as interpreter and adj
wiser to President Roosevelt at
the Yalta conference in 1915
Early this month. the question
of Mr.. Bohlen's future was raised
before Secretary of State Chris
tan Herter. Mr.. Herter was asked
if Mr.. Bohlen, whose knowledge
of Soviet affairs has been consid-
cred almost pre-eminent. would
be asked to accept an advisory
post with the State Department
when his term in Mania expires.
Mr. Herter replied that "wheth-
err or not we can induce him to
stay on and give his talents to
the Government is something
that still has to be explored"
Senators Opposed
Before Mr.. Bohlen could COM
ment Republican Senators Dirk
sen of Illinois and Bridges of New
Hampshire spoke out in opposition
to any new appointment for the
veteran diplomat. They said Mr..
Bohlen had been tied too closely
to Democratic administrations.
On Wednesday, President Essen
hover was asked about the mat
ter at his weekly press conference.
Had he discussed any such ap-
pointment with Mr.. Herter?
reporter asked.
Twice" the President answered.
'he (Mr Herter) suggested this
to me; mean he brought up the
subject because he had seen stories
in the paper that this was going
to be done, and he said as far as
he was concerned, he had done
nothing about it and didn't intend
to at that moment. So he wasn't
even discussing it. So in other
words, his report to me was COM
pletely negative"
On Friday, the picture changed.
Star Staff Writer Betty Beale re-
ported she had learned that the
President considered himself mis-
represented in his remarks about
Mr.. Bohlen. According to her re-
port, Acting Secretary of State c.
Douglas Dillon was informed by
Mr.. Eisenhower that he was writ
ing a letter to Mr.. Bohlen dis
claiming the press accounts. That
information, she said, had been
relayed to Philippine Ambassador
Carlos Romulo.
Later in the day, a Government
spokesman disclosed that Nh.
Bohlen would. after all, be offered
State Department post as a
specialist on the Soviet Union.

East then woke up to the fact

Now, however, South could

he had values in spades he

"Of course this is still a long

He added that nothing has yet
been heard from large contracts
on which the local plant has sub

The reopening this week of the
company's Detroit plants will
probably result in a work flow
from there, Mr.. Browne said.

Town Battles u Cave-Ins
In Ancient Sewer System

Recent flash floods which taxed
the village sewer system beyond
capacity has left the ancient net
work with no less than u cave
ins Street Commissioner William
Gaiffe told village council at its
meeting Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Gaiffe said that the VIII
lage crew has been replacing
broken tile and patching here and
there to keep the system work
ing, but that major repairs are
needed in several sections of
town.
While Bluffton's system of
large interceptor sewers is in
good condition, having been COM
pleted only few years ago, the
smaller lines leading to them are
in poor condition.
In many places modern plumb
ing systems are entering sewers
designed and built in the horse
and buggy days. Many of the
lateral lines are of loosely con-
structed field tile never meant
to carry sewage and heavy storm
water run-off. In other places in
the village bitches have been
covered with field stone making
square lines which constantly be-
come filled with sediment and
mud.
Wherever deteriorated tile is
found, the village is replacing it
provided it is in sewers main
tanned by the village because the
village is draining storm water
in it. The village also maintains
sewers in the streets and alleys.
Many residences are on pri-
-vate sewer lines owned jointly by
the residents using them. These
cross private property and the
village is not under OBLIGATION to
repair them without charge, it
was pointed out.
Mr.. Gaiffe, has suggested that
several lines in the south end of
Bluffton be replaced with the
property owners using them pay
ing the cost of the work.

Still cleaning up after two
flash floods filled the quarry
with water twice within a three
week period, the Bluffton Stone
company this week began to
erect a dixie on the south and

1t against future high water.
Herbert Conrad, plant manager,
said Tuesday that the company
has completed negotiations for
the purchase of an additional
three to four acre tract of ad-
joining ground and had obtained
permission of the State Highway
department to use property
owned by it to gain access to
work on the dixie.
The dixie will extend for a dis
tance of third of a mile along
the south end of the quarry run
ming from east to west. 1t viii be
raised approximately six to seven
feet high.
The construction work along
with machinery maintenance
work is keeping the quarry work
crew occupied while four pumps
run day and night to empty the
large quarry of water poured in
by two flash floods.
The first flood occurred Janu-
ary 20, filling the quarry to the
brim with muddy flood water. All
but about 13- feet of the water
had been pumped out three weeks
later wnen the second flood on
February 8 again filled the pit.
1t was estimated that it will be
early in March before the pit is
again empty and ready to re-
sumo operations.
Thus far the company has man.
aged to fill most of its current
orders for crushed rock and ag-
lime from its stock
pile.
