Several questions remain to
be answered before a clear pat

Languages Earlier
Concerning foreign language
teaching. the soft-spoken SD
perintendent said he would
like to see languages introduced
earlier. possibly in the elemen-
tary grades where it could be
correlated with social studies
Children could be taught
some words and customs. 1t
would help them understand
the countries they're studying. y
In addition, he added, early
introduction to languages could
give children a better basis for
selection of language study in
later school years.
Mr.. Funderburk said he also
favors expansion of summer
schools so that enrichment
courses may be offered students
in addition to the courses fol
those who have to make up.
Many of the programs he
supports were introduced in the

Adkins Forgotten Man
In Virginio's Primory
BY the Associated Press

Eugene C. Adkins, the first
man to file for State office in
the Democratic primary this
year, has become almost the
forgotten candidate.
So much so that his name on
the ballot may puzzle many of
the 100000 Virginians expected
to vote on July IL.
But Mr.. Adkins, 48, who will
be listed as one of three candi-
dates for attorney general, said
today he is mot in the least"
bothered by being virtually ig-
nored in the millions of words
spoken or written since the
campaign began.
81 haven't been as active as
some of the other fellows. Just
didn't see any need for it," the
Arlington attorney said. But
from the results of my three
trips through the State, I think
I have a good chance"
Cites Listing Factor
Mr.. Adkins said many of the
voters we're interested only in
the main feature of the three
ring primary, the contest for
Governor between Albertis S.
Harrison, jr., and A. E. S.
Stephens. Because of this, he
figured the fact his name will
be listed first for attorney gen.
eral in the ballots of "a coun-
ties would be a help. They put
his there either because he was
first to file or was first alpha
betically.
When he filed on March %,
Mr.. Adkins was the only Off
cial candidate for any of the
three Statewide offices in
volved. But then two tickets
emerged, one headed by Mr..
Harrison and the other by Mr..
Stephens, adding two more
candidates for attorney general
State Senator Robert Y. But
ton and Law Prof. T. Munford
Boyd.
Mr.. Adkins wass almost lost
in the shuttle, though his pro-
posals for Virginia would in
clude possibly the most strik-
ing departures from tradition.
He has spoken in favor of
Statewide referendums to le-
galize pari-mutuel betting at
horse and dog races and to per-
NIT the sale of whisky by the
drink.
More Service ON Same Money
"Other candidates in this
race say we need more money
to provide more services" Mr..
Adkins said. Il say we can pro-
vide more services with the
money we are getting now.
But If there is a need for
