Cleavages Disappointing,

Tor number of years the cry

needed to make Virginia the great state

Following the 1860 census, there will
be a reapportionment Of representation
in the legislature. Naturally the urban
areas will demand, and rightly So more
delegates. For the past two reapportion-
ments the principal changes were to
move Prince Edward county from one
district to another. In the redistricting
following 1910, Prince Edward was

IN March 18th representatives of
five western nations met with repre-

way to bring about general disarma-

This meeting is not to be connected
with the meetings which have been
held to find solution to the threat
of nuclear war and excessive radia-
ton. This latter subject has been the
basis of talks between the United
States, Great Britain and Russia, and
there have been recent indications
that the countries are closer to agree
ment on system of inspection and
control of nuclear weapons than they
have ever been before
However, talks on disarmament
have not been renewed since the Fall
of 1857, when the ong-stalemated ne
gotiations in London were broken Off
The purpose of these talks is to find
way for the nations of the east and
west to disarm, mutually. in The in

County's senator incumbent, who then

Seriously, every effort should be made
in the appointing redistricting to pre-

We recognize that there is a tendency
to adjust along political lines which

Is disarmament meetings will be
successful, but if they are successful,
and if we can agree on general dis
armament in the field of conven-
tional arms, it would be great bene-

There are many dangers and delicate
questions to be solved, of course, in
any disarmament proposal, and we
should never place ourselves in the
position of disarming while accept

1t can be hoped, nevertheless, that
some day a formula for successful
disarmament will be found, with
adequate inspection and assurances
that it is being carried out, thus saw

Virginia has an exceptionally fine
fiscal record due in large measure to
the conservative policies which have
been followed. Its institutions, schools,
colleges and hospitals have been i'm
proved in recent years, and compare
favorably with such institutions in other
states. Virginia's highways, all paid

can be proud of their past record of

comfortable financial position without
exhorbitant taxes We believe in the

A 37-year-old geologist with
the Army Engineer Corps was
given a special award by the
Army yesterday for two rescue
operations on the Greenland
ice cap.
The feats of Richard H..
Ragle in rescuing 13 airmen
from one plane crash and re-
covering five bodies from an
other "have no equal in ice
cap history" said an Engineer

him for the award.
Mr.. Ragle, of South Royal

He was in charge of a four
man scientific party on the ice
cap when an Air Force cargo
plane bringing supplies crashed
on July 81, 1858. Mr.. Ragle
led the entire party 270 miles
over uncharted snow wastes to
the nearest camp.
Two days later, returning to
his camp, he went to the scene
