An anti-slum housing code
which has been the subject oi
discussion in Fairfax County
for 18 months was adopted
unanimously yesterday by the
board of supervisors.
But witnesses testifying fol-
the code emphasized the
county would have to make II
easier for low-income families
to obtain homes before the
housing problem is solved.
Speakers told the board that
in many cases it is virtually i'm
possible for families living in
slums to find other housing.
The county, said julie M
Sugarman, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, has q social obligation
to make it possible for families
with small incomes to find de-
cent homes.
The Rev. Milton Sheppard,
of the countrywide organiza-
tion of Negro civic associations
said developers would not build
homes in Fairfax for Negro
families.
Young Negroes getting mar
ried "either live with their
families or move out Of Fair
fax County to some other
slum area" he said.

Lane Blasts
Policies of
Byrd Group

Attorney Dennis K. Lane,
campaigning for Alexandria's
seat in the House Of Delegates,
today assailed the Byrd organi-
cation and called for new lead
ership to rescue Virginia from
economic crisis.
Referring to the Harrison
Godwin-Button ticket which is
seeking the posts Of Governor,
Lieutenant Governor and at
torney general, Mr.. Lane de-
clared:
They have campaigned on
fhe theory that everything is
lovely and that you don't want
change because If you do, new
business will not come into
this State. I ask you what new
business are they talking about
and If these businesses were
coming because of our laws
and the people in office,
wouldn't they be here already ?
Aligning himself completely
with the Stephens-Bo oothe- Boyd
slate which is opposing the
Byrd-backed ticket, Mr.. Lane
charged that the organized
few" now control Virginia.

the program to make sure the
cost doesn't "get out Of hand"
He said "well-fixed" families
who already had sent their
children to private schools were
continuing to do so, regardless
OF the racial questions involved.
Tuition grants are not the life
blood" of Virginia's freedom of
choice program, but they are a
big part Of it, he said.
Mr.. Harrison contended the
grants are the life blood" of
the program and that he would
not advocate any change in the
law regulating their use.
At a later press conference,
Mr.. Harrison said there have
been material abuses" Of the
grants but I'VE must keep it
legally defensible.
Earlier in the campaign, Mr..
Harrison has referred to some
OF Mr.. Stephens remarks as
similar to those that could be
seen in the (Communist) Daily
Worker. Mr.. Stephens also has
been accused by his opponents
with siding with the National
Association for the Advance
ment Of Colored People on
racial questions.
Answers Charges
Mr.. Stephens took last
nights public occasion to re-
ply to what he said were his
opponents invectives."
"They lave said my speeches
were written by the NAACP,"
Mr.. Stephens declared heat
edly. Il tell you tonight these
charges are nothing more than
1861 versions Of McCarthyism.
They are selfish tricks calcu-
lated to lure the voters from
the real issues. These are
stumbling attempts to sell
stand-patism and reactionary-
ism.
During the press conference,
Mr.. Harrison said he had never
been approached to appoint
State Senator Harry F. Byrd,
jr., to succeed his father in the
United States Senate If he
should be elected Governor.
II am not committed to ap-
point anyone to any job, COM
mission, agency, board or any
other position. No one has ever
even approached me on such

NORFOLK, Va, June 49,
1t. Gov. A. E. S. Stephens said
last night his opponent for the
Democratic nomination for
Governor, A. s. Harrison, jr.,
has reSorted to "McCarthyism'
tactics amounting to selfish
tricks calculated to lure the
voters from the real issues"
Mr.. Harrison made no direct
reply to these charges in a tele-
viSed debate, but he made clear
that he holds a different view
than Mr.. Stephens on the effect
Of the closing Of Prince Edward
County public schools on the
States economy.
Mr.. Harrison said, II don't
think an isolated closing" of
schools in one county would
affect the attraction Of Virginia
to industry to locate in the
State. School closing, he added,
might prevent location Of in
dustry in that particular
county.
In answer to a question as
to whether Virginia must have
public schools, Mr.. Harrison
replied, in part: &c. broadly,
yes; we must have public
schools-we must have public
education"
Harm Cited
In reply to the same ques-
fion, Mr.. Stephens said, 81 am
bound to say in fairness and
franknesS that the failure of
one locality to maintain public
free schools will hurt Virginia
throughout its length and its
breadth. The question is how
long we will allow this condi-
ton to exist"
Prince Edward County shut
down its education system two
years ago rather than admit
Negroes to its white public
schools in compliance with q
Federal court order.
The two candidates also diff
fered on the States tuition
grants program. The State,
under this plan, supplies money
for children to be educated in
private, nonsectarian schools or
public schools elsewhere, in
order to avoid attendance at
integrated public schools.
Mr.. Stephens said the State
Legislature should reappraise
