Tie Vote Kills Virginia
Minimum Wage Bill

agreed to a number of modify
ing amendments to overcome
objections of other lawmakers
representing special fields.
The measure would have set
a rs cents an hour minimum
wage for certain employees not
covered by the Federal mini
mum wage law. 1t would have
benefited women clerks in de-
partment stores and similar
activities. primarily.
Mrs. Stone agreed to exemp-
tions for workers in the timber
and seafood industries, domestic
and farm laborers and en-
ployers of less than 10 persons.
The bill has no chance of re-
vival because yesterday was the
deadline for the House and
Senate to consider bills origi-
mating in their respective
bodies.
The House passed" 46 to As,
a bill to allow independent
presidential electors to be listed
on the Virginia ballot. Later
| in the day it "reconsidered"
and voted As to 48 to kill 1t.
And it put to sleep" without
a recorded vote a bill by Dele
gate Lucas D. Phillips of Lees
burg over the sponsors oppo-
sition. The measure would have
declared it the policy of Vir-
ginia to be opposed to the
autocratic assumption of au-
thority on the part of men,
bers Of the Supreme Court and
their attempted application of
usurped power to the law of
this State"
Without killing the measure
outright, the House, by voice
vote, referred the bill to the
Courts of Justice Committee.
Because of yesterdays dead
line requiring all House men,
bers to be clear of tnat body,
the bill suffered an unnatural
death.

Thomson Hits
Death of Bill
On Judgeship
By q Star star Writer

RICHMOND, Mar. 5.-Dele-
gate James M. Thomson Of
Alexandria today issued a
scathing denunciation Of two
Northern Virginia State Sena-
tors following defeat Of his bill
to provide a fourth judge for
the Alexandria -Fairfax-P Prince
William circuit.
The Senate Courts Of Justice
Committee killed the House
approved bill yesterday.
"One might we'll wonder" !"
Mr.. Thomson told reporters,
why a new judgeship unani-
mously Endorsed by the Alex
andria bar and approved by the
House Of Delegates should have
any trouble In the Virginia
Senate.
THE reason is simple. Sen
ator John A. K. Donovan of
Fairfax, with the help of Sen
ator ArmiStead Boothe of
Alexandria, has killed this leg
islation designed to help Ncrth-
ern Virginia. And the bill was
not killed by him on its merits.
Senatorial Courtesy
"He simply asked the COM
mittee to vote against the
measure because it affected
his district and he was against
it. This is what you call sena-
torial courtesy"
None of the bar associa-
tions in the three Jurisdictions
had requested the bill until
after it had passed the House,
a which time the Alexandria
oar lnoorSeo the proposal.
Senators Donovan and
Boothe cited this as a reason
for their opposition. plus the
fact that the senior circuit
Judge, Paul Brown. also had
not Endorsed the proposal.
Alexandria Stipulated
Mr.. Thomson's bill orig
inally provided that the new
judge would have to be Sc
lected from Alexandria. This
led his critics to charge that
he was attempting to create
an Office to benefit a friend
Mr.. Thomson later amended
the measure to allow the ap-
pointment to be made from
anywhere in the circuit.

Okayed in House
Measure Goes
To Senate in
Virginia Fight
BY ALEX r. PRESTON
Star Stan Writer

Star Stan Writer
RICHMOND, Mar. 5.-Legis-
lation Tightening controls Of
outdoor advertising along Vir-
ginia's interstate highway sys-
tenn was on its way to the State
Senate today following approval
by the House of Delegates.
The vote on passage yester-
day was IS to 4, but there was
a much wider division among
House members on defeating
amendments designed to water
it down considerably.
AS approved, the legislation
still goes beyond minimum
Federal requirements to en-
title the State to receive be-
tween SIS million and 81 mil
lion as a bonus for interstate
highway construction. This
money would be in addition to
the 80 per cent Federal funds
and 10 per cent State funds
going into construction costs.
So Co-PatrOnS
The measure was introduced
by Delegate Tom Frost of
Warrenton and carried the
names of SO of the 100 mem
bers of the House as co-patrons.
Arlington Delegate Harrison
Mann, however, carried the
fight in a 2la hour debate that
successfully beat down amend
ments to dilute the bill and
disqualify the State from the
bonus.
The division among House
members on these key amend
ments was about 80 to 54 on
each roll call.
All of the Northern Virginia
legislators voted for the bill on
the final roll call. They also
stuck together on voting down
the amendments that would
have weakened the bill, except
for Delegate Charles D. Price
of Page County.
Hits Special Interest
"The major opposition to
this BILL" Mr.. Frost said, has
come from a small special in
terest group which wants to
take advantage of the millions
of dollars of public funds in
vested in the new interstate
roads for its own economic
benefit it has become
apparent that the outdoor ad-
vertising industry is at the
bottom Of the opposition.
This industry went to great
lengths to rouse the opposition
of farmers by sending out let
ters exaggerating the effects Of
the bill"
Delegate Lucas D. Phillips
of Loudoun County also was
among those speaking for the
legislation and voting against
weakening amendments.
MY county is the most beau-
tiful in the State" he said, be
cause we have prohibited bill
boards by local ordinance for
20 years"
Delegate Charles Green of
Bedford, however, contended
the Federal Government would
not allow signs along highways
advertising overnight lodging
facilities that refused to &C
cept Negroes. At a public near
ing recently, a witness said a
motel operator was not listed
on literature handed out by the
Ohio turnpike because he &C
cepted only white guests.
SCOTS at Issue
Mr.. Mann scoffed at the
statement, declaring racial seq
regation had nothing to dc with
the issue.
The measure prohibits bill
boards within $50 feet of the
right-of-way of Federal inter-
state highways which will run
for more than 1000 miles
through Virginia. 1t allows
three classes of signs: official
traffic markers, Compromises"
signs advertising the sale or
business being conducted on
property and placards of in
tereSt to the motorists, such
as those announcing routes to
historic spots, recreational
areas and natural phenomena.

AInlondB Budget
Faces SIashes
In nSenateUnit
Contest Expected
On Spending Cuts
In Closing Week

RICHMOND, Mar. 5 (AP)
The House-passed State bud
get bill that's $8O.5 million in
the red goes under the sharp
scrutiny of a hostile Senate
subcommitte today.
Opponents of the admins
tration's spending program say
the budget can be cut mate
rally. Supporters contend
there's no fat in it and that
wholesale slashing will harm
Virginia's progress.
Both sides have one week to
get the bill into law-the last
week of the 1860 session.
Backers of Gov. Almond in
the House and Senate say they
have the necessary votes to
pass the $498 million general
fund budget substantially in
its present form. But the
spending bill has some formid-
able opposition in the 40
member Senate.
The subcommitte is lined up
5-4 against the bill-the full
committee 11-8.
Administration Hopeful
Administration supporters
believe they have enough votes
to sustain the budget in the
Senate. If not. they hope the
House will stand by its budget
which wasn't changed from the
way a finance subcommittee
recommended.
A last-week contest is in
prospect over the budget unless
there's a sudden and unusual
display Of legislative unanimity
The bill may end in conference
committees between the two
houses. The Finance subcom-
mittee likely will report to the
full committee Tuesday.
The house yesterday passed
an amended version of the i'm
piled consent drunk driving
law. 1t provides that anyone
driving on Virginia's highways
has consented to taking a blood
alcohol content test If arrested
for drunk driving.
A public hearing on the
measure has been set for
pm. Monday in the Senate
Courts Of Justice Committee
TV Bill Is Passed
The House also approved a
bill to set up the Virginia Ed
ucation Television Commission.
The bill appropriates $125,000 a

years.

chairman Of the Finance Com
mittee. agreed to discharge his
committee from consideration
of the Fenwick bill to double
the fees on private ABC IL
censes. The Senate will con-

tiles.
