Special elections will be helc
Tuesday in widely separated
areas of Virginia to name two
State Senators from district.
which probably will be abol-
ished by the General Assembly
next year.
The prospects are that the
winners of both contests will
find themselves thrown in tt
districts of seasoned legislators
whom they would have to face
if they should seek reelection
two years from now.
The redistricting commission
appointed by Gov. Almod has
recommended elimination OF
both of the predominantly
rural districts in line with its
overall plan to give faster
growing areas added represen-
tation.
In Northern Virginia'S 9th
senatorial district of Loudoun
Fauquier and Culpeper Coun-
ties, four men have filed for
the seat vacated by Robert Y.
Button of Culpeper, who was
elected attorney general last
month.
Conservatives
Of the four, one Democrat
stands out as a liberal while
two other Democrats and q Re
publican have sided with the
more conservative philosophy
of the dominant Byrd organi-
Zation.
In Eastern Virginia's 5th dis
trict, composed of Isle of
Wight. Nansemond and South
ampton Counties, two Demo-
Gratis with basically similar
backgrounds are fighting it out
for the seat of Mills E. Goodwin
jr., of Suffolk, who resigned
from the Senate when he was
elected Lieutenant Governor in
November.
Interest in that race centers
on the fact that one of the
candidates, who actively
worked for Francis Pickens
Miller, the anti-organization
candidate for Governor in 1949
now has most of the organiza-
ton backing. He began cam
paigning long before Mr.. God
win resigned and had seven
commitments before an oppo-
nent entered the scene.
The Northern Virginia con-
test is among Democrat John
Alexander, 43, a Warrenton
lawyer who formerly served as
attorney to the Fairfax County
School Board; Jack Middleton
40. a real estate and insurance
businessman of The Plains, who
is chairman for the 9th Con-
greSSional District Republican
Committee; Democrat Bruce
Noland, 43, a Warrenton con-
tractor, and Democrat Walter

George Wilson, whose Lions

DETROIT, Nov. "a (AP).-
With or without Pvt. Paul
Hornung, only a complete col
lapse will halt the Green Bay
Packers drive to their second
straight Western Division title
in the National Football
League.
The Packers, with Hornung
in the lineup. defeated the
Detroit Lions, their closest pur-
suers, 17-9, yesterday. The
victory, on a muddy field be-
fore 55.662 soaked fans and a
national television audience,
left the Packers ga games
ahead of the Lions.
Just one victory in their re-
naming three games will send
the Packers into the NIL
championship game with the
Eastern Division champion De-

VIM LOSE OR DRAW
Wismer VS.. Foss-The Big Match
BY FRANCIS sTANN

Foss, got big name and a tough guy He
was one of the all-time great air aces and
former Governor of South Dakota. There
is reason to believe that FoSs means it when
he suggests he'll crack down on his Grant
flock.
But Wismer, who has been part-owner
of the Redskins in the NIL and is boss of
the TitanS in the ALL, may express the
sentiments of all important pro football
stockholders when he says, Its fantastic
that any commissioner of any league would
issue statement declaring the secret
draft null and void without calling the
owners who pay his salary"
ACTUALLY, WHAT THE American
League owners did was minor crime, if
one at all 1t is hair-splitting to say they
did something the older NIL hasn't done,
and is doing. Only the naive will believe
that talent scouts, such as the Redskins
have floating about visit a campus only to
ask hot-shot collegian about the state of
his well being
What the eight AFL owners did, ap-
parently, was conduct a telephone poll and
came out and named names. He disclosed
his choices openly, and Ernie Davis of SYRIA
cuse was his No. pick.
This single selection alone, is news
worthy. Wismer long ago fell out with his
one-time cohort, George Marshall Of the
Redskins. HE doesn't want a winner"
Wismer said of the man whose team has
played 20 league games without winning
one. "All he wants is stage to play on"
WISNIER ALSO HAS accused Marshall
of being anti-Negro. For weeks, however, it's
been rumored that the Redskins were at
long last about to draft Negro, who would
be Davis.
Thus it would appear that two antag-
onists, Marshall and Wismer, are hepped
on the same player, Davis.
But the chief matching Of strength at
the moment would seem to be Commission
er Foss versus Harry Wismer Sooner or
later, pro football has got to determine who
is boss-the commissioner or the owners

relinquished by Harry Wismer. If anything,
the one-time sportscaSter has become more
voluble in his role of sports tycoon, as
president of the New York TitanS of the
American Football League.
HarryS most famous line as a broad
caster was, You're doing a grand job"
Foss Prepares Showdown With Wsmer in Droft Dispute
Page D-5
He's dropped that one, apparently, because
he doesn't tell Sammy Baugh, his coach,
that he's doing a grand job and now Wis
mer has informed AFL Commissioner Joe
Foss that he's "a very poor commissioner"
The WismerBaugh feud, one of the
most unusual iii pro football history, may
Smolder until Sammy, over whose playing
teats Harry would go into rapture as the
Voice of the Redskins and also part-owner,
finishes his contract. But the Foss- WiSmer
showdown might come off at any moment
The AFL clubs, you know, conducted
what has been called a premature secret
draft of the top college players. Most of the
owners preferred the term negotiation list"
but to Wismer it was a draft, pure and
simple. Foss claimed that by any term it's
wrong and that no contract executed be-
fore our official draft meeting on December
2 will be recognized"
IT COULD COST FOsS his Job, he
realizes, but the great wartime flyer and
winner of the Medal of Honor isn't backing
down. I'll get around to Wismer," he COM
mented. "The things that Mr. Wismer has
said are typical of him So I'm very poor
commissioner well, he's very poor
owner If the other owners were as bad in
conducting their operations, we'd all be
out of business"
The time has come, perhaps, for show
down between a pro football car and the
owners, whether it be the American or the
National League. What is a commissioner,
anyway, if he can't lay down the law? It's
long been suspected that the head of the

ARIZONA Law
LET'S DISCUSS

This Legal Column is pre-
Sented by the State Bar of Ari-
z0na as a public service by the
lawyers of Arizona, Every ef-
fort is made to assure that it
reflects an accurate interpreta-
ton of the Arizona law as ap.
pliable to the stated facts.
You may never be. subject to
'hOrSeShoer'S lien" but how
about a mechanics lien?"
We found out the other day
that there still is an Arizona
law on the books which says
that if you don't pay the black
smith for Shoeing your horse,
he can put lien on old Dob
bin, sell him at the going rate
and pay you the difference be-
tween what. you owe him and
what the sale brings.
AS long as there are a few
horses around automotive Ari-
zona that law probably will re-
main, and for a reason.
Similar laws protect the gar
ageman who repairs the super
charger on your lightning-eight
hardtop, the jeweler who fixes
the handspring on your self
winding watch, or the dry
cleaner. There laws were a
part of the old common law.
However, the merchant or
workman who supplied the ma
terials or labor for the erec-
tion of a building did not al
ways have rights to such a
lien. In the old days, once the
lumber, nails, bricks, and other
materials were put in the build
ing they became an improve
ment to the real property. If
the builder or contractor
couldn't or wouldn't pay, the
worker or supplier had a claim
s against the contractor-and not
the owner of the property.
Over 40 years ago the State
