On BIueLaW
Hampton Ruling
Casts Doubt
On Sunday Ban

Northern Virginia prosecu-
tors, who confessed to confu-
sion about the States new blue
law when it supposedly took ef-
feet, now are not sure the law
even exists. They have decided
to postpone prosecution until
they find out.
The latest blue law, which
specified articles that may not
be sold on the Sabbath, sup
poSedly became effective last
Sunday. However, Hampton
Circuit Court Judge Frank A
Kearney ruled yesterday that
the General Assembly unwit-
Itingly repealed the new statute
before 1t went into effect.
Say Law VOided
He sustained Attorney Ell
wood H. Richardson's conten-
ton that the legislators inad-
vertently voided the law when
they replaced Virginia's old
criminal code with the new one.
The most recent blue law
was passed during the last ses-
sion of the General Assembly
as an amendment to the pre-
vious criminal code. 1t was in
tended to replace a Sunday
closing statute which was con-
Sidered too hazy to permit ef-
1fectiVe enforcement.
Judge Kearney's decision
probably restores, in the Hamp-
ton area at least, the old stat
ute which prohibits all Sunday
business except that involving
necessity or charity"
Although the ruling yester-
day strictly applies only to
Hampton, it casts doubt upon
the legal status of the new blue
law throughout Virginia.
To Continue Cases,
Arlington Commonwealth At.
torney William j. Hassan said
today:
If a warrant is issued and an
arrest made under the new law
( ! will request the court to con-
ttinue the case until the State
Supreme Court has had an op-
portunity to rule on the issue
that has been raised through
out the State.
! That does not mean there
will not be prosecution. II
merely means the prosecution
will be postponed. There is no
point in taking up the courts
time and in further cluttering
the State Supreme Courts
docket with new appeals until
the legal issues have been re-
solved"
Fairfax County Common
wealth Attorney Robert C.
Fitzgerald said: I'VE won't
prosecute until the thing is
Strengthened out"
Alexandria Commonwealth
Attorney Earl F. Wagner said
he also favors delaying prose-
cution until a Supreme Court
decision is issued.

More often you can fol-

Mr.. GreeSon is a retired
Government worker. He was
a maintenance man for the
Army Chief of Staff back in
the war years when Gen.
Marshall held that position.
He could still be there but he
began to make so much
money with flying squirrels
and chinchillaS that he re-
tired after IS years. He is
originally from Houston, Tex.
He got out of the chinchilla
business by giving away 1,4OO
of the little fur bearers when
he found the market unre-
warding.
Flying squirrels can be
found anywhere in the United
States east of the Mississippi
where there are trees. They
can be found in the swamps
and in the mountains.

Tunnel Project Speeded
Despite Calls for Delay

District Committee on June q

mittee June %.
! A bill creating the new
agency and authorizing plans
for a subway system now i;
awaiting President Eisenhower
signature.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc.
Laughlin.E informed of the
Highway Departments action
said today the speedup order
had not come before the Com.
missioners.
He added, however, that he
signed a letter sent to a Con-
gress member some time ago
indicating that city officials
felt the Mall road project had
proceeded too far to make pos
sible any saving from a post
ponment to tie in with the raj
subway plan.
From Welling's Office
The letter came from En-
gineer Commissioner A. C
4 Welling's Office. Mr.. McLaugh-
lin said he thought the Com
missioners would stick to this
position.
T. F.. Airis, deputy highway
director, said the construction
speedup resulted from a, re-
Quest from the contractor, Nc
CloSkey 6E Co. The latter
wanted to go ahead now with
construction on a portion Of
the project that had not beer
scheduled until next year, he
said.
! The change will not result in
any saving to the District OF
the builder, Mr.. Airs said.
Aware Of Proposal
The highway official. asked
whether any consideration has
been given to the congressional
proposal for delay, said he was
aware of the congressional sug-
gestion from newspaper ac-
counts, but added: There has
been no stop order"
He referred further ques-
tions to Mr.. Aitken. The high
way director could not be
reached Immediately.
Highway officials already had
indicated their reluctance to
delay finishing the project
which consists mostly Of a
three-lane tunnel to connect
eventually with the Southwest
freeway and the Fourteenth
Street Bridge from Virginia
The tunnel is intended to carry
northbound traffic from the
freeway. A parallel tunnel to
carry Southbound cars is
planned on Ninth street but has
not yet been designed.
Only a small portion of the
Twelfth street tunnel has been
finished.

The

Handles
Flying Squirrel
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Some sourdough prospect
ing in the Brooks range
well, to tell the truth, he was
a WaShingtonian on vacation
sent the Rambler a tear
sheet from an Alaskan
sports magazine.
1t contained a small ad Of
fering pets for sale from "the
largest flying squirrel ranch
in the world" The ranch"
mad an Arlington (Va.) ad-
dress.
A telephone call brought
a somewhat surprising re-
sponse.
"I've been written up in
the Washington papers," the
man said. "The Sunday Star
Magazine had a feature on
me six years ago.
ut just brings a lot of
people out here to see the
squirrels. I'd rather have
publicity in Alaska. Then.
they could only write.
But if you want to see
them, come on out. I'm at
905 North Monroe street, just
beyond the Clarendon shop
ping center"
The Rambler drove out and
met the "rancher, Lewyl E.
Greeson, who was seated
comfortably on the porch Of
a bungalow.
Flying squirrels make
wonderful pets" he said.
They're very affectionate.
Il have more than 1000 of
them in the little building in
the rear, but two of them,
Sammy and Joe, are my per-
sonal pets.
"I'll take them out in the
woods and let them go to the
tops of the trees and have
fun sailing from one tree to
another,
"All I have to do to get
them back is to start walking
away. They come soaring
down, land on my shoulder
and Snuggle into my breast

I'm other words, we are taxed
but not represented and we
have no one to speak for us,
no one to appeal to, no one to
represent us on all problems
that arise in an exploding
metropolis"
Full suffrage rights demand
a separate amendment for con-
greSsional representation and
home rule, she said, because
residents of the District are
powerless to deal with pressing
local issues, such as more
money for schools and teach
erS, acutely needed additional
Judges of the juvenile court,
spreading slums, water pollu-
ton, traffic and other neglected
ills.
Some 52.8 per cent of the
property in the District Of
Columbia is either Federally
owned or otherwise tax
exempt, but the Federal Gov
ernment contributes only IL
per cent of the city's revenues.
The rest is paid from taxes
collected from the residents,
who have absolutely no say as
to how these revenues are
used, Mrs. Louchheim con-
cluded.

Then, Representative Bowles,
Democrat of Connecticut, who
is presiding, will name a draft
ing committee to rewrite the
work paper to reflect party SEN.
timent voiced at hearings.
The finished document will
probably go before the conven-
tion on Tuesday.
Summary for TV
Party leaders, sensitive to the
need for holding the attention
of television viewers, hope to
write a terse summary of party
pledges.
In addition, each major is
sue-including treatment of the
Federal City-will be set out in
chapter form in an accompany
ing document under the pres
ent plan.
Mrs. Loucheim, the major
witness. said she was one of
445,000 potentially eligible vot-
ers who were barred from cast
ing ballots because they live in
the District.
This situation is not only
unpleasant for District resi-
dents. it is, or should be,
Iacutely embarrassing for the
entire country, for all citizens
of one of the worlds leading
democracies," Mrs. Louchheim
said.
Congress this session called
for the suffrage amendment.
Already, Hawaii has ratified.
Three-quarters of the States,
or 81 more, must follow suit
before the amendment becomes
part of the Constitution.
Credit to Congress
Don't you think members
of Congress deserve much of
the credit for getting the
amendment before the States?
asked Representative Celler,
Democrat of New York, a mem
ber of the platform committee.
sYessa especially you," said
Mrs. Louchheim. Mr.. Celler
headed the House judiciary
Committee that recommended
passage of the amendment and
himself introduced the original
suffrage resoluti on in the
House.
The New Yorker said he had
in mind Senator Holland,
Democrat of Florida, who
agreed for the sake of passage
to stop pressing this year for
an additional amendment bar
ring poll taxes.
"As one of the disfranchised,
I want earnestly to implore you
to urge speedy ratification"
Mrs. Louchheim said. "I hope
all of you will go home and
help us do it in your State"
Cites Comparisons
She pointed out that the
"half -citizenry of Washington"
was the last sizable body of
disfranchised people on the
North American continent!
Washington outranks 10 States
in population, she said, and
pays more taxes than "a States.
Yet, Washingtonians do not
vote simply because the Con-
stitution established presiden-
tial election machinery only in
the States.
OF the total population Of
100000, she estimated 445, 900
were potentially eligible voters.
She figured 125,0O0 District
residents voted absentee in
States of their residence. Other
ineligible District voters among
the total population are under
81. she said.
Yet, these 445,000 American
citizens would be granted only
partial Suffrage by the amend
ment now before the States. she
went on.
I'VE have no representation
in Congress and another con-
stitutional amendment is neces-
sary to obtain it," Mrs. Louch-
helm added.
