Ticket Splitting Only Slight,
Virginia Results Show

The widespread ticket split
ting expected in the Virginia
guberanatorial primary failed
to materialize, a look at the
election figures indicates.
Many political observers be-
heved that Democratic voters
might split their ballots by
backing Albertis S. Harrison,
jr., for Governor, while sup
porting ArmiStead L. Boothe
for Lieutenant Governor and
r. Munford Boyd for attorney
general. Both of the latter two
men were part of the slate
headed by A. E. S. Stephens,
the loser.
Only in the 9Th district did
Mr.. Boothe and Mr.. Boyd edge
by their opponents. while Mr..
Stephens was losing by some
1000 votes.
The Stephens-Boothe-B
ticket, as expected, drew its
largest support in the three eX-
treme corners of the triangu-
lar-Shaped State. 1t carried a
2-to-1 lead over the Harrison
Goodwin n-Button slate in the
nearby 10th congressional dis
trict and in the 9Th district in
Southwest Virginia. 1t elso
took the I'd district in South
eastern Virginia by a narrow
margin Of some 5000 votes.
The Byrd organization, as
anticipated, showed it's greatest
drawing power in the 3rd
(Richmond area); 4th and 5th
(Southside); 7th shenandoah
Valley and 9th (Piedmont)
Districts. 1t scored lesser vic
tories in the 1St (Tidewater)
and 9Th (Roanoke-Lynchburg)
Districts.
Mr.. Harrison, who lives in
Lawrenceville, a few miles
north of the North Carolina
border, managed, while attorney
general, to remain outside of
the bitter fight between the
moderate forces in the General
Assembly who supported Gov.
Almonds freedom of choice"
school program, and the Byrd
wing of the party which in
cluded Mr.. Goodwin and Mr..
Button.
~ The size of the vote, when
all returns are in, will fall short
of a predicted 100000, but may
approach the record of 345,OOO
set in 1852 when Senator Byrd
was opposed by Francis PickenS
Miller.

Somerset's town council has
already asked the Maryland
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to put
up so per cent of the park cost,
while the town puts up 40 per
cent.
Acting jointly with the COM
mission, the town would qualify
for $150,000 from the Housing
and Home Finance Agency,
Mayor Vinton said. Acting
alone it could qualify for a
grant of about 100000, and
the cost to Somerset would be
about $160,000.
Mayor Vinton said that he

pate in the new program.

OF all the candidates in yes
terday'S primary, Alexandria
State Senator Armiste a d
Boothe perhaps was the one
who wanted most to win.
Victory as the candidate for
Lieutenant Governor would
Fhave indicated his efforts of
seven years to lead Virginia
into more moderate paths and
put him on the threshold OF
the governorship, something
his friends say he always has
dreamed of.
Last night, surrounded by
telephones, he barricaded him
self in his library to await the
news of his future.
He called the library the CIC
or Combat Information Gen.
ter, a shipboard term he re-
membered from his wartime
days as a naval intelligence Of
ficer aboard carriers in the
Pacific. Not long after it was
set up. it began to acquire the
atmosphere of a command CEN
ter directing an attack that
had gone wrong.
The telephones told that
votes from Southern Virginia
rapidly were evaporating the
early lead Northern Virginia
had given him. At 10 pm, Mr..
Boothe took a call from Rich
mond, listened without chang
ing his expression, then said
in a voice inaudible to his aides
nearby: We'll, we've lost then" 4"
Friends Await News
On the lawn outside the Alex
andria home, the portents had
darkened the optimism of sew
eral hundred friends. Every
one knew the meaning of the
vanishing lead, but no one
wanted to admit it to anyone
else. And the campaign work.
erS offered hopeful explana-
tions of why the downstate re-
ports might not mean what
everyone knew they did mean.
Still. even Mr.. Boothe was
able to say at 1924 pm:
Don't give up"
Then a call disclosed another
decisive defeat downstate.
That's horrible. The same
old gang" said Mr.. Boothe,
who ran on the Stephens
Boothe-Boyd slate which op-
posed the victorious, organiza-
tion-backed ticket.

Somerset Seeks Housing Grant
To Preserve 32-Acre Woodland

Somerset, Md, hopes to be
the first community in the
United States to protect itself
against encroaching CONNER
cialism under a provision of the
week-old Housing Act of 1861
Warren j. Vinton, Mayor OF
the town he describes as 1884
embattled families" said that
the community has asked for
funds under the new law to
help purchase a 32-acre wooded
tract for public park.
The new provision of the
housing law is designed to help
communities purchase open
land in order to protect them
selves against urban sprawl
and blight. Grants up to 20
per cent of the total will be
made to individual jurisdic-
tions. Public bodies acting fol
an entire urban area can get
80 per cent of the cost.

Alexandra Set
To Push City
Master Plan
By JOHN NEARY
Star Staff Writer

A four-month moratorium on
all but emergency rezonings has
been ordered by the Alexandria
City Council while planners
step up work on a master plan
for the city.
The council last night also
voted to establish an advisory
tax committee to seek ways out
of a financial jam foreseen by
city heads.
Both moves were given unan-
imous support after they were
proposed by newly elected
Councilman John K. Pickens.
The master development plan,
Mr.. Pickens said, should in
clude plans governing land use,
transportation, community ia
cilities, public improvements
and the city's business districts.
Concurrently, city codes gov
erning health, safety and sani-
tation would be re-evaluated.
Need Stressed
The master plan, Mr.. Pickens
said, "is essential to the proper
growth and long-range plan
ming for Alexandria" and is
required to obtain urban re-
newal funds.
Before participating in Alex
andria'S urban renewal project,
the Government has required
the city to have under way such
a plan.
They city's planning direc-
tor, Francis Kenney, last year
proposed a preliminary draft of
a land-uSe plan for the city
which was first shelved, then
revived after the council was
reminded of urban renewal
funding requirements.
Land-use planning for the
eastern portion of the city has
been under way since then, and
is nearing completion.
Because of the moratorium"
on zoning demanded by the
PickenS resolution, the council
last night deferred action on
three zoning cases.
Funds Study Set
To study the city's financial
situation, Mr.. Pickens called for
a committee of seven citizens
along with four ex-officio mem
bers, including two council
members, the city's finance di-
rector and the commissioner of
revenue.
In related move, the coun-
Gil appointed a study group to
consider re-enacting the city's
I3 per cent tax on transient
lodgings, bitterly opposed by
Alexandria motel and hotel
operators.
Serving on the committee
will be City Manager E. G.
Heatwole, City Attorney w.
Floyd Williams, and Cornelius
J. Weetman, OF, the Lincolnia.
Lance and Key Motels and
John R. Stevenson, of the Old
Colony Motor Lodge and the
George Mason Hotel.

INTERESTING HISTORY
ATTACHES TO WEATHER
STATION AT HATTERAS

Residents of the Outer Banks Of
North Carolina are fortunate in
having at their disposal first
class weather station. In looking
back over period of sc years we
find that the station has been To-
Gated at eight different sites. It
was established under the Signal
Corps in the Lighthouse Service in
1874 and made part of the U. S.
Weather Bureau in 1890. It has
continued under the Jurisdiction of
the Weather Bureau since that
time. Originally the Weather Sta
ton was located in the Lighthouse
at Cape Hatteras. 1t was moved to
Hatteras in 1902 and remained
there until 1857, whereupon it was
moved back to near the original site
at Buxton on Cape Hatteras.
At the present time the station
is manned by ten people, nine of
which are regular Civil Service per-
sonnet. Ben H. Williams, a native
of Terrell. Texas, is the Meteoro-
logist in Charge. Melvin S. Stowe.
a native of Hatteras, is the Princi-
pal Assistant. Six Meteorologist
Technicians inclule Damon NJ. Gray
Jr., Carl N. Hollis, Eulas ]. Miller.
LYMAN A. Pope, Joe r. Sewell, and
Lucy A. Stowe. Mr.. Gray and Miss
Stowe are from Hatteras, Mr.. Hol-
lis from Sulligent, Alabama. Mr..
Miller from Whitewright, Texas,
Mr.. Pope from Norfolk, and Mr..
Sewell from Tracy City, Tenn. Lu-
cius D. Drewry, the Station Elec-
tronic Technician, is a native of
Athens, Ga. Nye Robinson. a life
long native of Hatteras, N. C. is
the station laborer.
The Weather Station never
closes. The duties include an extern
sive obsevational program which
includes hourly surface observa-
lions Temperature, pressure, wind
direction and speed, visibility, sky
condition, relative humidity, etc.,,
hourly radar observations as we'll as
two rawinsonde and two pilot bal
loon observations daily. Permanent
records are kept of winds, solar ra-
diation, temperatures, precipitation
and pressure. The station is also
equipped with direct radio and pho
to-facsimile communications with
the District Forecast Center at
Washington, D. C. A daily Weather
Map is plotted and analysed. More
over, the Weather station is re-
sponsible for the issuance of Coast
al Forecasts and Warning for this
area, as we'll as the dissemination
of storm warnings for Dare and
Hyde counties.
The science of observing the con-
ditions which make our weather
and the mechanics of recording
these conditions make fascinating
study, and we hope to publish ar
ticles in future for our readers.
Among these we will try to inform
the reader on those who have SER
we'd in previous years in this occu-
patton.

|ROTARIANS TOLD
WHERE LIES FUTURE
NATIONS STRENGTH

Americas future strength de-
ponds on today's youthpower,
Manteo Rotarians were told on
Monday night by Miss Nancy Coles
Basnight, an honor student at Man.
teo High School and one of North
Cardinals outstanding All Club
members.
She attended National Youth
power Congress in Chicago recent
ly as a representative from this
State, and to the Rotarians at their
weekly meeting she gave clearcut
report of the various discussions.
'Twenty-three states developed
activities in which farm, industry,
retailer and other state and local
leaders cooperated with school and
youth groups in preliminary pro-
grams from which delegates were
selected for the national congress,
in Chicago" she said. "From that
first Congress attended by profess
sional, educational, business and
government leaders, the second
gathering was held this year.
"At the recent conference the
outstanding point of discussion
was the importance of nutrition,
physical, mental and social devel-
opment of our YOUTH" said Miss
Basnight.
ut has been ascertained that
teenagers as group have poor
eating habits, that breakfast usual
ly is neglected and that teenage
girls have by preference the poor
est diet of any member of the
family"
why have so many youths failed
to eat better in land where food
is plentiful? Could it be that we
have not given them sufficient evil
dence of why food is important?
The youth delegates felt that if
teenagers were convinced that food
is an important key in helping to
attain what you want, and to what
you want to be-then you will de-
eide on your own to give food diet
a chance. If the youths really want
to, they will become part of the
best-fed generation in the world"
she pointed out.
Development of Ameri c a s
youthpower will pave the way to
a prosperous and secure tomorrow
If teenagers are prepared phys
ically as we'll as mentally and spir-
itually for the responsibilities of
citizenship. To be strong nation,
we must learn the value Of proper
nutrition, and we need the help of
adults to develop an educational
program that will adequately pre-
pare youth in this field, and it is
necessary for youth to realize the
lepths of the problem and strive
to fill its need" she concluded.
New Rotary officers named by
the clubs nominating committee
were elected during the meeting
Monday night. They are: James
Rae, president, to succeed Robert
Gibbs; George Whitfield, vice-pres-
ilent; Linwood Cuthrell, secretary;
Robert S. Smith, treasurer; and,
John Ferebee and Harold Leather
man, directors, to serve with the
foregoing officers and the past
president as a board. The new off
GERS assume duties in June.
Rotarian Dick Jordan explained
the detectives of Rotary to new
members William Crumpacker,
Harold Leatherman, Harold Glynn,
who have recently joined the local
club. Each was presented with
a Rotary pin and a book entitled
Adventures in Service" the Off
,cial Rotary handbook.
