The decision on a new Dis

Replying to a query on the

Mr.. Duncan was a White

Senate hearings brought out
that Mr.. Reeves had been tardy
on tax payments and his nomi-
nation was withdrawn.

drivers went to police to get
new hack permits.
In each case, said Assistant
United States Attorney Ed
mond T. DAILY, they found that
tickets that supposedly had
been fixed" were still listed
against them.
Mr.. DAILY said it is impossible
to tell how widespread the
ticket-fixing fraud may have
been.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Clark F. King, whose office at
Municipal Court handles prose-
cution of traffic cases, indicated
adjusting" of traffic tickets
there is limited.
Mr.. King said he established
a policy about a year ago that
adjustments of non-accident,
moving violation tickets would
be made only by him or his
principal aide.
Few Adjusted
The aide, Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Carl Coleman, and
Mr.. King said they each throw
out or change this type of
charge in about a dozen cases
each per month.
This type of adjusting, Mr..
King said. does not include
cases in which persons attend
traffic school and then have
traffic charges dropped after
wards.
About 1000 motorists we're
allowed to go to traffic school
during the first six months of
1861, a member of Mr.. Kings
staff said. No points are given
in these cases.
Mr.. King said he had no
way of telling how many, if
any. traffic tickets are disposed
of by police before the cases
are referred to his office.

Two men have been charged
at Municipal Court with accept
ing money from taxi drivers to
fix traffic tickets. The tickets
never we're fixed.
Court papers list the two as
Gerard Jordan, so, of the TOO
block of Thirty-first street Sc,
and Leon ]. Wills, 27, Of the
5100 block of Kansas avenue
NV.
Jordan, a cab driver, is
charged with two counts of
false pretenseS and two counts
of larceny. Wills, an ex-hacker,
faces a single charge of larceny.
Both men have pleaded not
guilty. Jury trials are scheduled
July 81 for Jordan and July Is
for Wills. Bond was set at $500
for Jordan and $500 for Wills.
Hackers Tell of Payments
Capt. Joseph v. Osterman,
of the police traffic division,
said one hacker told police he
gave Jordan $50 to take care
Of" a speeding ticket.
Another cab driver, Capt.
Osterman said, told police he
gave Jordan $40 to take care
Of" a ticket issued for an illegal
U-turn.
In the two cases, both in
April. Capt. Osterman said the
cab drivers who allegedly gave
Jordan the money were worried
about traffic points being
charged against their driving
permits.
Violation points are of prime
concern to District hackers, be-
cause suspension Of their driv-
ers' licenses at 8 points or
revocation at IL points affects
their livelihood.
The larceny charges against
Jordan involve the alleged re-
ceipt of the money. The false
pretense charges alleged he
represented he would fix the
tickets, knowing he could not.
Third Driver Testifies
Police Pvt. Percy G. Mangum
of the traffic division, said a
third cab driver told police he
gave Wills $55 in May to fix
a charge of turning from the
wrong lane.
In a notarized statement, the
cab driver said Wills indicated
to him that "his man" who
would handle things was an un-
named high police official.
In his statement, the cab
driver said:
II paid this money to have
this ticket fixed because I al
ready had six points, married
with one child, and desperately
need my (permit) to help sup

Speaker, in q Contest,
Digs Hard but Softly
BY JOHN BARRON
Star Staff Writer

BERRYVILLE, Va, July T.
While candidates elsewhere in
Virginia feverishly lombard
voters with orations, one of the
most unusual campaigns of the
Democratic primary is being
fought almost silently here in
the homeland of Senator Harry
F. Byrd.
Committing what in this area
is tantamount to political
heresy, a lawyer, Stuart Brown,
has challenged E. Blackburn
Moore, the Speaker Of the
House of Delegates.
/, During his % years in the
Legislature, Mr.. Moore never
has been inconvenienced by
having to run against anyone.
Although his first real adver-
sary scrupulously has avoided
attack upon the Byrd organiza-
ton, defeat of Mr.. Moore would
represent a major affront to it.
For as the Speaker who con-
trolls composition of House
committees, Mr.. Moore is one
of the most powerful members
of the organization.
Mute Reaction
Thus, despite the novelty of
opposition, he and Byrd fol-
lowers have reacted vigorously
to it. Their response. though,
has been virtually mute.
Always a man of few words,
Mr.. Moore is a man of none
when it comes to public
speeches. He simply refuses to
make them. When Mr.. Brown
tried to taunt him into public
debate, he didn't even bother
to reply.
Rather, he is conducting his
appeal for reelection by driv-
ing almost daily into Winchester
or the countryside of Clarke
and Frederick Counties to con-
fer individually with voters, the
majority of whom he knows
personally.
Mr.. Brown speaks at every
opportunity. But he complains
that the opportunities have
been comparatively few. In the
interests of being non-partisan,
civic clubs decline to invite a
speech by one candidate unless
the other also agrees to make
one. Mr.. Moore won't talk, so
Mr.. Brown can't.
Letters One Route
The 45-year-old lawyer also
says MS supporters tend to work
for him quietly rather than
with fanfare because they don't
want to attract the possible
wrath of the organization. So
he, too, has been making per-
sonal visitations on a large
scale and dispatching letters
to voters.
The difference in the polit-
ical philosophers of the candi-
dates is partially reflected by
the positions they took during
the last presidential campaign.
Mr.. Brown enthusiastically
backed President Kennedy. Mr..
Moore indicated hostility to-
ward him and expressed fear
that his election would result
in appointment of Negroes as
Federal judges in Virginia.

Miss billiard got her license
for her concession stand in

to learn Russian and would
like to go back to school for
a refreSher course.
But with my two girls in
school I don't get rusty. We
all read together, Julius
Caesar and Canterbury
Tales and such"
Miss billiard says, when
my two go off and get mar
ried, I'll just get two more
children to raise. What do
you work for if you don't
have someone to miss you
when you don't come home
and be glad to see you when
you do?"

Harriet's mother can't hear

house door, because she's drunk

The building is locked up at

Harriet's school attendance

But school at least provides
available protection for the
little girl during the winter.
Now that summers here, Har-

every day she doesn't have a

job has come in.
In spite of years of chronic
alcoholism, she tries to care for
