A massive trek to the polls
today was shattering all pre-
vious voting records in Vir-
ginia.
Many precincts reported one
half or more of their qualified
voters had balloted by noon.
There was no sign of a letup
before polls close at Z pm.
Prospects Of clear, crisp weather

100000, compared to 697. 900 in
the presidential election four
years ago.
Records Indicated
Unprecedented turnouts were
reported in the Richmond area,
where the Democrats for
Nixon-Lodge are making their
strongest bid, and in Norfolk,
where Democratic hopes are
highest.
In Norfolk, 22,622 had voted
by noon, indicating a total at
the end of the day of about
$1,000, compared to the previ-
Gus high total of $4,000.
In Richmond, Is per cent of
the total qualified voters had
made their decision in the
first three hours, leading OBJ
servers to predict a total of
more than $4,000. The previous
record there was $4,000 in 1852.
One of the few sections re-
porting a slower vote than in
1856 was the Hampton-Newport
News area.

that could improve French CO., operation within the North At lantic Treaty Organization.
 The explosion will also go a long way toward restoring the power of France in the councils of the world - one of De Gaulle's prime aims since he took power in 1858.
 The bomb was an all-French effort. The government had pre- viously denied any foreign tech nicians were used.
 The United States had furn- ished France with enriched plu- tonium but all this had gone into other atomic energy projects.

French A-Bomb Explosion in Sahara
 Elevates Nation to Ranks of Top Powers

PARIS, tR - France exploded plutonium bomb deep in the Sahara Desert Saturday, and be- came the worlds fourth atomic power.
 President Charles De Gaulle announced Frances first nuclear blast in a communique issued by the Defense Ministry. It de- clared France is now in better position to negotiate with the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union toward nuclear dis armament.
 The terse communique said an "atomic device" went off success fully from tower at Point Zero at Tanezrouf, deep in the desert near Reggane at 6 am.
 The explosion came after more than a year in which no atomic blasts had been announced by the other powers pending negotiations on test ban. France had made plain, however, she did not feel bound by this "gentlemen's agree ment" to ban tests.
 Three hours after the bomb ex- ploded the Defense Ministry said that there was no radioactive fall out in inhabited regions of the Sahara area.
 The announcement said the power of the bomb was what has been expected. It was understood to be equal to about 10000 tons of TINT = the strength of the first American A-bombs to hit Hiroshi- ma and Nagasaki at the end of World War II. The Sahara blast is expected to have the following effects on diplomatic and mili- tary fronts:
 1. Strengthen De Gaulle's hand when he plays host to Soviet Pre- mier Khrushchev next mvnth and during the French Presidents ensuing trips to London and Washington.
 2. Mark big step toward giv- ing France atomic capability all though she will not havoc an ap- preciable nuclear punch until 1863.
 3. Boost the morale of French military leaders who have been sensitive about not having atomic weapons in their arsenal, a factor

Measure Would Outlaw Discrimination In State Public Housing

JUNEAU, R = A bill dealing with discrimination in public housing and against automobile renters have been added to the rapidly filling legislative hopper.
 Rep. James Fisher introduced a bill Saturday which would ban discrimination by reason of race, creed or color in public housing, accommodation and amusements. The housing provisions would cover the sale or lease of property as we'll as rentals and would ap- ply also to public accommodation facilities.
