Concentrates Fire
Against Boothe
By JOHN BARRON
Star Staff Writer

SUFFOLK, July 4.-Byrd Or
ganization hackers in tn e
Southside citadel of massive re-
sistance are convinced that in
the last few days Albertis Har-
rison has emerged as a sure
winner in the fight for the
Democratic gubernatorial nom
ination.
But they fear their candi-
date for lieutenant governor
Mills Goodwin, may be in diff
Guilty elsewhere in the State
They attribute the trouble tt
Mr.. Godwin'S opponent, Armi-
stead Boothe, whom the or
ganization now looks upon al
a liberal dragon which in the
interest of self-preservation il
must slay politically in the mex
few days.
Stephens Hardly Mentioned
So while touring towns il
the 4th district yesterday MIR
Harrison and especially Mr.
Goodwin renewed efforts to por'
tray the AleXandrian as al
apostle of integration, lacke!
of labor, secret saboteur of th'
"right-to-work" law and tht
original big spender of Vir'
ginia'S money.
They only once mentioned
and never bothered to attacl
1t. Gov. A. E. S. Stephens ant
T. Munford Boyd, the othe.
members of the opposition
slate. Mr.. Stephens is runninl
for Governor and Mr.. Boyd TO
attorney general on the Ste
phens-Boothe-Boyd slate.
Mr.. Boothe has consistent,
during his legislative career ad
vocated those measures whicl
would or have resulted in thu
mixing of races =" Mr.. God

"MOtivating Force"

Mr.. Harrison added:
Senator Boothe has neve

AS Mr.. Goodwin put it, "HI

stacks Of letters will be proc
eSsed and mailed.

THE LETTERS hit RID
route 20 in Michigan and
post office box 24O in Califor-
mia and in some kitchen some
suspicious housewife is going
to dust the flour off her
hands and open the letter
and pass her hands over the
back of it. There are raised
bumps where the typewriter
has made commas, periods
mot done by a machine. It's
hand typed" she says.
These letters even pass the
wet finger test. You know.
Wet the finger, rub your
hand over the signatures and
an ink smear is left. Hand
done. The Senator's own sig
nature" she says.
Chances are the signature
was manipulated by Ronnie
Robot who occupies a vital
corner In one of the basement
rooms. On a wheel of this
"matrix" machine are the
signatures of many Senators.
The signatures are rotated to
the front of the machine as
they are needed.
A light is Tipped on and a
man feeds the letters into
the machine, over the sigma
ture outlined in the light.
The salutation space on the
letter paper is lined up over
the signature. A metal arm
holds a pen, the pen dips
down and writes the sigma
ture onto the paper.
The Senator's offices do
not exactly send out press
releases about such oper-
ationS, because they are not
sure the constituent feels so
jolly in the knowledge it is
Ronnie Robots steel fingers
and not their Senator's that
gives the personal touch to
their letter.
But, as Russell Killian, aide
to Senator Wiley, Republican
of Wisconsin, said, actually
makes everything more per-
sonal. Senators can reach
many more people and utilize
a lot smaller staff this way.
-
"FOR EXAMPLE on one bill
alone we had to answer 5000
queries that asked mainly for
the Senator's view on the
subject. We could make up
one major letter and get it
out to them in a matter of
days. Without the machines
we couldn't hope to reach all
the people who wrote u.s."
Mr.. Killian said the drafts
of letters are approved by
the Senator. If the letter is
not handled by the all-auto-
matte machine, they are
typed by another "Robo-
typer," which neceSSitateS
partial human manipulation.
These machines are placed
in a Semi-circle around one
typist. The surrounded typist
feeds pre-typed sheets Of
paper which look exactly
like piano rolls into the type
writer's. He then flipS on the
switch, types the address and
greeting and lets the roll
take over the body of the
letter; goes on to the next
typewriter, starts that one
and SO on down the line.
Some machines go at a 100
words per minute clip, others
at 200 words per minute.
AS the door closed behind
them, the machines sounded
as if they were racing to see

D. c. Asks Burninq
Of Infected Debris
City to Insist
Wrecker Quit
Timber Haul
By CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star Staff Writer


District officials moved yes
terday to stop a wrecker from
hauling away contaminated
wood from a demolition project
involved in charges of political
pressure.
1t. Col. Charles S. MacVeigh,
Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner, said that at the request
of Commissioner Walter N.
Tobriner he had asked the
District Department of Licenses
and Inspections to make GER
tain that all this wood Is
burned at the site because Of
the risk of spreading disease.
This action was taken fol-
lowing publication Of a story
in The Sunday Star reporting
that despite a District Health
Department ruling that all this
combustible material should be
burned at the scene. some of
the better pieces of wood were
being taken to the contractors
yard. fr
The Redevelopment Land
Agency contract, held by the
Liberty Wrecking & Building
Material Co., calls for the raz-
ing of $40 buildings in North
east Urban Renewal Area
Project No. /, a few blocks
behind Union Station.
Politics Charged
Representatives of the areas
biggest wrecking companies
have charged that political,
pressure was used to get Liberty
a permit to burn wreckage at
the site and thus cut its costs
substantially. This has been
denied by Paul loren, presi-
dent of Liberty Wrecking.
While Liberty has been burn
ing most of the wreckage at
the site, Mr.. loren has con-
ceded that more valuable pieces
of wood were being trucked to
his yard.
Col. MacVeigh, who has been
checking into the contract and
the issuance of the permit to
burn, said that he has also
notified the Fire Department
to make certain there are no
unnecessary fire hazards at the
wrecking site.
He added that at the request
Of Commissioner Tobriner he
is also exploring the question
of whether Liberty's contract
can be renegotiated.
Excessive. Profit Charged
Other contractors have
charged that Liberty will make
an exhorbitant profit on the
job because it is being permit
ted to burn wreckage at the
site, thus avoiding the extra
expense of having to truck
material to a dump.
Commissioner Tobriner has
said, 1--WE don't want to pay
for a service which, because of
a health condition, can not be
rendered"
He was referring to the fact
that all wrecking contractors
had been told before bids were
asked that no burning at the
site would be permitted because
of the Districts's new air pol
luton control regulations.
Commissioner Tobriner en-
phasized that he supports the
new air pollution control regu-
lationS and would favor allow
ing burning only in case of a
public health hazard or some
other emergency.
He said he is considering
having the health department
survey all areas where build
ings are to be wrecked before
bids are taken.
The Commissioner explained
that "all bids could be taken
on the same basis"

Want Equality
Year Around

Chicago's American says Negro
major league baseball players are
becoming resentfuI over embar-
raSsmentS and humiliation in
Southern training camps.
In a copyrighted article by Wen
ldell Smith Monday, the paper said
such players as Ernie Banks of
the Chicago Cubs, Willie Mays of
San Francisco and Hank Aaron of
Milwaukee are idolized by thou
sands of Youngsters across the ma
llon. are accepted as first class
lcihzens in the North during the
regular season but as second class
ritizens during spring training.
The American said Negro play,
erS resent not being allowed to
stay in the same hotels with their
teammates and not being able to
eat in the same restaurants.
Smith quoted one Negro player
as having told him recently:
I'VE think we should enjoy
equality the year round and in
tend to get it. We are tired of stay
ing in flop houses and eating in
Second-rate restaurants during
pring training. If we are good
enough to play with team, then
we should be good enough to share
the same facilities and accommo-.
datfons as the other players both
spring and summer.
Not Bel|igerent
Smith says that at the moment
the Negro player is not belliger-
ent. He is merely seeking help
and sympathy, an understanding,
land a solution.
The story continues;
Baseball owners are synPa-
thetic, of course, but they are ex
ltrernely cautious about the situa-
ton. In a sense, they can hardly
be blamed. The South currently is
'rebeliing against enforcement of
mass Indignation. 1t is the most ex-
lplosive issue in the nation today"
: Smith, Negro, said Chicago
Cub Negro players will be accept
ed along with the other players at
the hotel where the team stays
in Mesa, Ariz. Such is not the
case with the Chicago White Sox
who train in Sarasota, Fla. i
Negro players on the Sox, saysH
Smith. will not be able to stayt
with their teammates. "They will
have to stay in a Negro commu-h
nifty under conditions that leave
something to be desired" he
wrote.

STRIKES and SPARES
By JOE WILMAN
Causes and Cures for
Banging the Ankles

There's a fellow in one
league that I bowl in who al
ways comes very close to bang
ing his left ankle as he delivers
the ball. If this hits you very
often, you might check:
4. Your right arm which
might be swinging too far to
the left as you deliver the
ball.
2. Your left foot which
might be sliding out to the
right as you deliver the ball at
the point we show today.
To avoid pulling your right
arm to the left, keep your right
elbow in close to the body dur
ing your armswing. This should
keep it in a correct groove.
If you keep your left toe
pointed directly at your tar
get, you shouldn't have trouble
with your left foot sliding to
the right.
And remember, your timing
is all important to avoid hit
