via a withholding plan for col

Senator Boothe touched or
the fiscal situation before ad-
dressing the Hanover Citizens
Association at Ashland.
He said it appears both State
and local governments will need
additional revenue sources in
the future and 'it is absolutely
essential that we have a real
study and overhauling Of our
tax structure"
He said the State may be
able to get by for the next two
years or so with its present
revenue measures, but he is in
clined to think 1t should go
ahead and adopt a withholding
plan for State income tax col
lection. He estimated such a
plan would add about 81 mil
lion annually to State revenues
by snaring people who now
manage to avoid the income
tax.

Henderson
MaySeek
Nomination
BY ALEX PRESTON
Star staff Writer

Horace E. Henderson, a for
mer candidate for the Virginia
lieutenant governorship who
narrowly lost an election for
Congress a few years ago. yes
terday confirmed reports he
may seek the Republican nomi-
nation for Governor this year.
Republicans will hold their
State convention July 8 in
Richmond to select candidates
to oppose the winners Of the
July IL Democratic primary for
Governor, Lieutenant Governor
and attorney general.
Mr.. Henderson, 43, formerly
Of Williamsburg and now q
Fairfax County resident, Gre
ated a sensation among Demo
Gratis and Republicans in 1856
when he lost by eight-tenthS
of l per cent the election to
former Representative Edward
j. Robson of Newport News
for the latter's seat in Congress
from the 1St district.
Margin Caused Shift
The narrow 1,040-vote mar
gin by which Mr.. Robson won
out of about $4,000 votes cast
was largely responsible for
Democrats turning to Thomas
N. Downing as their nominee
two years later. Mr.. Downing
has held the office since.
In 1857 Mr.. Henderson ran
for the acknowledgements
on the ticket of Republican Ted
Dalton, who since has been
named a Federal district judge
The Dalton Henderson ticket
made a strong run until Presi-
dent Eisenhower sent troops
into Little Rock. Republicans
ended up by polling 36 per cent
Of the vote.
I. r. Dovel. of Luray, is the
only announced candidate for
the Republican nomination for
Governor at the State conven-
ton.
Queried about reports Of his
candidacy. Mr.. Henderson said
"Since there hasn't been any
one other than Mr.. Dovel to
indicate an interest in the race,
this has given me-and I hope
others-reaSon to give it very
serious consideration"
Mr.. Henderson said it is
necessary for IAN aggressive
qualified candidate" to enter
the general election campaign
to oppose the winner Of the
Democratic primary race be-
tween Lieut.. Gov. A. E. S. Ste
phenS and A. S. Harrison, jr.
Vigorous Camuaign Urged
Republicans should wage q
vigorous campaign in Virginia
this year." Mr.. Henderson said,
because it is one of only two
States that will be holding a
general election, and conse-
quently national attention will
be focused on us.
with the problems faced by
Virginia, it would be rather
hard for me not to consider
running"
Mr.. Henderson now heads a
Washington public relations
firm bearing his name. He
lived in Williamsburg for 26
years before moving to Mclean,
four years ago, although he did
not transfer his legal residence
to Fairfax County until last
year.

Schools continued to domi'
nate Virginia's gubernatoria
election yesterday as one can
didate proposed loans fol
school construction and the
other received the Endorsement
of a former State Board oi
Education president.
Alhertis S. Harrison. jr., pro-
posed that a new State author
ity be established which coulo
issue up to $3.50 million ir
bonds and make low-cost loans
to localities for school con-
struction.
Meanwhile, William N. Neff
former State senator and for
mer president of the State
Board of Education, Endorsed
the ticket headed by Lieut.
Gov. A. E. S. Stephens in the
Democratic primary.
The authority proposed by
Mr.. Harrison would mot be
intended to Supersede the pres
ent system by which many 10
calities issue their own gen.
eral obligation bonds" Mr.
Harrison said in a statement
issued by his headquarters. Its
purpose would be simply to
keep pace with local needs for
construction funds in a way
that the literary fund cannot
new keep pace"
Mr.. Harrison, who has the
backing of the dominant Byrd
ocratic organization,
added:
ITO this authority would be
transferred, as required, por-
tions of approximately $50 mil
lion in assets of the literary
fund. BY capitalizing upon
these valuable securities now
frozen in the funds vaults. the
new authority could then issue
its own bonds in amounts OF as
much as $3.50 million"
Opposes Federal Aid
He noted that in the past
five years Virginia counties
and cities, without Federal aic
of any sort, have built nearly
$500 classrooms. He added
that Virginia does not neec
Federal aid of the kind that
would be provided in the bill
now pending before the United
States House of Representa-
tives. We know that Federal aic
carries with it the inseparablt
vice of Federal control"
But, he added, "the growth
of our State is so rapid. and thu
needs of certain localities Sc
imperative, that I believe more
must be done: . At the end o.
the 1958-59 fiscal year Virgins
counties reported an indebted.
ness of roughly SITS million fol-
their schools. The literary
fund, as usual, is at present
loaned OUT"
The idea of empowering the
authority to issue bonds, move
as this proposal may appear al
first glance is entirely con-
sistent with the principles o1
fiscal integrity by which Vir-
ginia has prospered these many
years" Mr.. Harrison said.
1.-The bonds of such an au.
thority would not be genera
obligation bonds of the State
and would not involve State
debt The authority would moi
require any appropriation what
ever from the general fund Of
the State. It's purpose would be
simply to make more effective
use of valuable assets now ly-
ing idle.
"The bonds Of such a Vir-
ginia authority, backed by such
excellent collateral, would com.
mand a most favorable Interest
rate, and the funds so derived
could then be made available tt
Virginia localities at an equally
low rate.
"The authority would be 6

 The new machines. operating &t loo words per minute, will almost double the capacity of a circuit which now uses machines =yping at 60 words per minute. FAA operates four telecommuni- cations circuits -t three transmit weather information, while the fourth handles flight plans and traffic information. Many points n the FAA teleeommunications system already are equipped with 100-words-per-minute machines.
 Installation of the faster equip- aa4ent will be the first step in Qpgrading telecommunications in Alaska. A total of 76 teletype- writers are scheduled for install lation in Alaskan Flight Service Stations (FSS) about the middle of 1862.

Skin Divers Seek Salmon Tags in
 Alaskan Streams

The recovery of tagged salmon by skin divers in Alaskan rivers and streams when the fish come in from the sea to spawn, is the latest biological research tool be- ing used by the Alaska Depart ment of Fish and Game.
 Scuba gear is especially effect i've in larger streams or those with deep holes where the tagged salmon cannot be reached effect lively with a spear from shore.
 Guy Powell and Dave Warner. departmental research biologists. are spending their spare time in Kodiak streams flippering after the brightly colored tags being borne upstream by salmon en- route to their spawning grounds.
 Powell was the first Alaskan biologist to use scuba gear in the biological studies of the king crab. pr. Howard Tait fdirector of biological research for the de- partment, states that direct un- derWater observation is becoming an essential part of fishery re- search in Alaska and he intends to promote the training of biolo- gists in the use of this tool.
 The two skin diving biologists have recovered TO tags so far during 1861. By spotting and talk ing the tags immediately when the salmon enter fresh water, the biologist can determine approxi- mately how long the salmon have been enroute from the tagging site to their home streams.
 The diver wears standard neo- prene wet#suit, boots, flippers and a mask covering eyes and nose. As the diving is done in relatively shallow water, a eom- pressed air tank for breathing is not necessary.
 For safety, the diving opera tion requires two men; one to stand guard on the bank armed with a heavy caliber rifle to pro- tect the diver from brown bears that may be fishing for salmon. Also to alert any bounty hunter who may be hunting for seals and mistakenl shoot the diver for one.

State Legislation Includes Seven Bills by Rivers

President Kennedy has signed into law five bills introduced by Alaska's Congressman, R alp h J Rivers. A sixth Rivers bill. which has cleared both Houses of Congress, is on the Presidents desk awaiting approval.
 Four of the Alaska bills which became law provided for l Ia n d withdrawals for the Defense De- partment located in the Ladd- Eielson area, (256,000 aeres1; the Fairbanks area (607,00o aeres1; the Big Delta area f572,000 ae- les); and the Campbell Creek q ,ea (4, ,706 aeres1.
 The fifth Rivers bill to have become law since the last News letter was issued, eliminated a discrimination against Alaska mineral claimants. Under form CT law, mineral claims in Alaska were allowed to remain open to contest for a longer period than those filed in other states.
 The purpose of the old law was to prevent claim-jumping during the days when transpor- tation problems prevented fre- quent trips to recording offices by early prospeetors. The Rivers laws removes the special Alaska provision and will serve to pre- vent needless delay in proving mining claims.
 Remaining for presidential sig- nature is another public land withdrawal bill, which will, if signed. reserve about 51, 400 ae- res for military purposes in the Granite Creek area. It was this Eill which was amended in the Senate on the motion of Sen. Er- nest Gruening. The Gruening a. mendment modified the bound aries of the proposed reserve re- daeing acreage withdrawn slight ly from the reservation Ia n d along the Richardson Highway to allow possible State selection.
 When President Kennedy signs the remaining Alaska land bill, Congressman Rivers will have in- troduced total of seven bills during the 87th Congress to have become law. In August, the Pres ident signed an earlier Rivers bill to liberalize the law relating to h e public sale of isolated tracts.
