renee H. Hoover, a member OF
the House of Delegates from
HarriSonburg, expressed the
opinion that daylight time was
observed in so many areas this
summer-even though unoffi-
cially-that the prevailin g
sentiment in the Legislature
would be to authorize daylight
time for the entire State.
State Senator John A. K.
Donovan of Fairfax and Falls
Church, said earlier he will
offer a bill to make daylight
time uniform throughout Vir-
ginia in the summer months.
The Legislative Committee
also recommended that the
convention urge the General
Assembly to initiate a thorough
study of the State and local tax
structure.
Many years have passed
without significant changes in
the division of revenue sources
and financial oblig ati O. n S
between the Commonwealth
and the localities" the COM
mittee said.
Northern Bid
Under Virginia's tax laws,
the State collects all levies on
income while localities retain
taxes on real estate and
personal property.
AS registration got underway
yesterday for the convention
which continues through to-
morrow, representatives from
the area next to Washington
put in a strong bid for the
league to meet there in 1868.
Richmond already has been
chosen as next years conven-
ton site.

1T is recommended that a
Statewide uniform time be
adopted for use in Virginia
during the summer months so
that the confusion which now
exists in many sections of the
Commonwealth will be elm
mated"
For several years, the North
ern Virginia Area next to
Washington, D. c., has switched
to daylight saving time with
the Nations Capital while the
remainder of the State kept
it's clocks set on standard time
Patchwork Pattern
This year, through a quirk
in the law, Richmond and its
suburban area switched legally
to daylight time. A patchwork
of counties and cities through
a large part of the State also
changed unofficially to fast
time to conform with the State
Capital.
The result was, for instance,
that a person travelling U. S.
Route l between Washington
and the North Carolina line
would set his watch forward
and backwards five times if he
conformed with local times. In
some areas the county seat
would be on one time schedule
while the surrounding area
would be on a different time
The Legislative Committee,
headed by Robert D. Morrison
city manager of Lynchburg, was
careful to avoid stating whether
it favored daylight or standard
time being followed uniformly
in the summer months.

In an attempt to combat
juvenile delinquency among
school children, he said his
department had stimulated the
creation of an Urban Service
Corps, made up Of doctors,
lawyers, housewives. college
students and social workers.
They bring together people
who have time and talent to
contribute and the children who
could benefit from their par
ticular help" he added.
Aimed At "DrOp-Outs"
The children to which the
program is aimed are those
known as "drop-outS," or those
who are incapable of complet-
ing high school.
This plan might well work
out on a nationwide basis, given
effective planning and COM
munity support" Mr.. Nestingen
said. 1T is being undertaken
this month, as a pioneer pro-
ject, in the District of Columbia
and will involve the entire pub
lie schools system, from kinder
garten through high school.
This is the kind of creative
undertaking that will help the
children who need help, will
relieve the minds of teachers
who worry about troubled child
rem. and will, in many ways,
bring leaders in the community
into closer touch with the reali-
ties of school problems gener-
ally. In such imaginative ways
as this. education may be lifted
to new levels of excellence"
Also in the field of educa-
ton, Mr.. NeStingen said an
opportunity exists for localities
to acquire, at little cost, a wide
variety of material useful to
schools and colleges through
the HEW's Surplus Property

Reopportion
Court RuIinu
Seen Illegal

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. rs CAP).
The courts cannot legally
force reapportionment of the
State Legislature, the Maryland
Court of Appeals was told
Saturday.
A brief filed in the high
court by Attorney General
Thomas B. Finan said such a
ruling would be in violation
of the separation of powers
of the judicial and legislative
branches provided in the State
constitution.
Mr.. Finan urged the high
court to uphold an Anne Arun-
del County Circuit Court de-
ciSion, which dismissed a suit
seeking a reshuffling of seats
on the basis of population dis
tribution.
Reversal of the lower court
opinion, Mr.. Flnan declared,
would result in governmental
chaos and anarchy"
The brief answered an appeal
filed by the Maryland Commit
tee for Fair Representation.
The committee claims that fail
ure to reapportion the House
of Delegates violates the State
and Federal constitutions. 1t
asked the court to require cleo
tions to be held at large until
the redistribution of seats is
completed.
In diSmiSsing the initial suit
filed by the committee, Circuit
Judge o. Bowie Duckett said
the courts should not interfere
in legislative matters. He also
noted there was no State law
requiring reapportionment.
The legislative branch would
be destroyed, the brief stated, if
the courts ordered legislators to
run at large-Subject to a
Statewide vote-rather than an
individual subdivision only.

Wilkinson Joins Race
Vies for ToWes Ticket
By the Associated Press

Who will fill the Congress-
man-at-large slot on the pri-
mary election ticket which
Gov. Tawes is expected to head?
At least two of three candi-
dates who have announced for
the office have been men,
toned for the opening on the
TaweS slate.
One of them. Delegate Perry
10. Wilkinson, Democrat of
Prince Georges, officially
tossed his hat in the ring yes
terday. He indicated he would
like to join the Tawes forces
in the primary campaign, and
he repeatedly has the support
of the strong Prince Georges
Democratic machine headed by
LanSdale G. SaSscer, sr., for
mer Congressman.
O'COnOr Has Support
Herbert R. O'Conor, jr., of
Baltimore. son of the late for
mer Governor and Senator, has
the support of some Baltimore
leaders. Favoring O'Conor is
the absence of a Baltimore
man thus far on the antici-
pated TaWeS ticket.
While he. still has not an
nounced formally that he will
seek denomination, Gov. Tawes
has indicated he will run.
Another Prince Georges
County Democrat, Delegate
Carlton R. Sickles, is the third
candidate for CongreSSman-at-
large. The position developed
after a petition drive forced
the 1861 General Assembly's
redistricting act to a referen-
dunn in next years general
election.
MahOney Ticket Open
The legislative act created a
new 9th congressional district
from Prince Georges and How
ard Counties. Since the bound
aries of the new district are
subject to change in the ref
erendum, Attorney Genera.
Thomas B. Finan has ruled the
Congressman must run on 9
Statewide basis.
| The Congressman at large
spot on the Mahoney-Lee-Ba
rick primary ticket, is still oper
also. Neither Mr.. Wilkinson, ar
ally of the Governor, nor O'Con,

In Los Angeles Race

LOS ANGELES. June l
(AP) Samuel w. Yorty, a
former Democratic Congress-
man opposed by most of the
leaders in his own party, is
the new Mayor of Americas
third largest city.
He won the nonpartisan
post yesterday by upsetting
Republican incumbent Norris
Poulson, backed by Democratic
leaders furious at Mr.. Yorty
for supporting Republican
Richard M. Nixon in the 1860
presidential race. Mr.. Nixon

oral campaign.
Unofficial final returns from
all of the city's 4,712 precincts

Mayor Poulson, 273,701 to
257,073.
Only about AZ per cent of
the city's 1,128,070 registered
voters participated. The light
turnout was attributed partly
to light rain in the morning.

cal career studded with ups

Sullivan Defends
Action in Alabama

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June !
(AP).-Poiice Commissioner
L. B. Sullivan denied today that
Montgomery police deliberate
ly failed to protect Freedom
Riders from a white mob.
Testifying during a Federal
Court injunction hearing, he
said there was no indication
that there would be trouble"
before the bus reached the
Greyhound terminal in Mona
gomery May 20.
A shrieking mob of white
men and women attacked the
racially mixed riders, and some
byStanders, and left at least 20
victims clubbed and beaten.
Mr.. Sullivan conceded, on
croSs-examination, that he as
signed no additional officers to
the bus depot as the segrega-
tion-challenging riders ap-
preached the city from Bir-
mingham.
But, he said, there was no
indication that there would be
any violence or that they (po-
tlice) would be needed"
Not Routine, He Says
When a Justice Department
attorney asked him if he con-
sidered earlier racial violence
at Birmingham and Admission,
Ala, routine" the Montgom-
cry commissioner replied, Ger
tainly not"
He said he had given "su-
perviSing officers and others
instructions to keep a con-
slant check on the bus station
and see If there we're any
crowds congregating, and if
there were, to disperse them"
The commissioner also was
asked If the policy of his de-
partment is to fail to protect
Negroes. He answered sharply,
THAT most certainly is not our
attitude. We try to enforce the
laws at all times for everyone. +"
Before Mr.. Sullivan testified,
a police captain said he took

official to a hospital during
the May 20 riot even though,
he said, the man did not want
