Job Drive Set
For Plant Men
By JOHN A. GILES
Star star Writer

Representative Landlord,
Democrat of Maryland, today
announced a campaign to find
jobs for Naval Weapons Plant
workers who are being laid of
at the huge installation.
He wrote Navy Secretary
FRANKIE calling attention to the
effort of the Norfolk (Va)
Chamber of Commerce in be-
half of laid-of employees of the
Naval Supply Center there.
Employees associations joined
naval officials in the effort, he
wrote.
1T is my intention to initiate
such a cooperative effort in
the Washington area" he con-
tinued. Although I am not
convinced of the necessity for
the planned cutback in the
Weapons Plant operation, I
believe it is the duty of all of
us in the Government to pro-
vide every conceivable form of
assistance to those who may
soon be placed out of work"
Mr.. Landlord added that he
had sent a personal representa-
tive to Norfolk to investigate
the employment campaign there
and that he intended to call a
meeting of all interested Or
CARNATIONS in the Washington
area to plan a similar drive.
Meanwhile. Representative
Broyhill, Republican of Vir-
GINA, awaited a letter from
President Eisenhower with ref
erence to the future of the
plant, and the Metropolitan
Washington Board Of Trade
scheduled a meeting to canvass
possible private industries who
would be interested in operat-
ing the installation in whole or
part should the Navy declare
it surplus.

overnor-elect Sanford suffered widespread and pain
full criticism when he took his courageous stand at the dem

Southern political leaders he spoke out for Kennedy when
from Johnson supporters
Sanford stood his ground. He announced for Kennedy

Commissioner Ralph Morris of

Stanley Wahab, spokesman for the
Ocracoke Committee, realizing the
reluctance of the Commission to

not suited to the route, considers
the project not at all defeated, but
merely delayed. He is confident
public need and demand for this

One benefit that came out of the
