Virqinio's Democrats
Ask Stronger Loyalty

RICHMOND, Sept. 9 (AP) -
The question of whether party
loyalty requirements should be
stiffened is going to be consid-
cred by a 10-member commit
tee of Virginia Democratic
leaders.
A resolution to this effect
was adopted yesterday by the
Democratic State Central Com
mittee at its meeting in Rich
mond.
Among other things, the
potential changes would include
making the loyalty pledge apply
to Presidential elections and
would plug loopholes which
have permitted candidates to
run in Democratic primaries
after they have opposed party
nominees in State and local
elections.
Formation of the study group
to consider changes in the State
party plan was one unexpected
development at the Central
Committee session which was
devoted in the main to routine
preparations for the fall cam
paign for State offices.
Still another unScheduled
event was the resignation of
Frank C. Vaughan of Rich
mond as a member of the CEN
tral and Sd District Demo-

last night.
Mr.. Stubbs said that w. H.

right to appeal within 10 days.
Mr.. Law was not available

in bringing about this con-

demanding for many months,

the West said that Berlin was

Prosecutors in Northern Vir-
ginia indicate they will try to
get voluntary compliance with
the new blue law upheld in its
entirety by the State Supreme
Court yesterday.
Literal, complete enforce
ment of the statute, which
prohibits Sunday business un-
less it involves necessity or
charity" could bring about
sharp alterations of commercial
practices and family buying
habits in the suburbs.
For instance, the law ex-
preSSly sanctions sale of mo
bile homes" on the Sabbath.
But it does not specify whether
real estate saleSmen may con-
tinue to offer houses to poten-
tial customers.
1t forbids sale "of fresh, frozen
or salt meat. poultry or seafood
customarily inedible without
further cooking or preparation. "
Thus, a housewife may buy
milk, but not eggs; bologna but
perhaps not frankfurters. Hams,
a Virginia product, enjoy a
special exemption. Toys are il
legal, but novelties and SOU
venirS" are all right.
Other Faiths Exempted
Members of the Jewish faith
and Seventh-Day Adventists
may do business on Sunday
with impunity provided they
conscientiously observe Satur-
day as their religious holiday
and do not require non-mem-
berS of their faith to work on
the Sabbath.
The code of Virginia notes
that under a blue law very
similar to the present one, a
State court ruled that "the sale
of soft drinks. including Coca
Cola, on Sunday, from a soda
fountain by the holder of a
restaurant license, was a plain
violation of the ordinance"
Beer, though. may be a diff
ferent matter, for the code adds
that a higher court once de-
creed that: The trial court
erred in holding that sale of
beer on Sunday was, as a mat
ter of law, not a necessity of
the community"
However, absolute stringent
enforcement appears unlikely
IN Northern Virginia.

I'VE will enforce it as best
We can, but the law itself has
many areas so vague that it
is difficult to enforce. There
are a lot of things which are
