RICHMOND, Mar. THE
House and Senate, cycling each
other warily on reapportion-
ment, have deferred action I'M
til tomorrow on legislation that
would give Northern Virginia
token increases in seats in the
General Assembly.
Bills Reproducing their
own seats have passed both
branches of the General As
sembly and now are in the
opposite branch for final ap-
proval.
The Senate, moving faster
than the House, yesterday had
up for second reading" a bill
to rearrange the House seats.
1t deliberately held up advance
ing the bill to final passing
stage until the Senate reap
.portionment bill reaches a sim
liar stage in the House of Del
,egateS.
The House Privileges and
Elections Committee, in re-
porting the Senate bill today,
will put it on a par with its
counterpart legislation tomor-
row.
Under the two-bill package,
Fairfax and Falls Church
would get a second Senator
and have their delegate
strength increased from two to
three. Alexandria, retaining
one Senator. would get a sec
ond delegate. Arlington would
remain unchanged with one
Senator and three delegates.
- Special Session Urged
Fairfax Delegate John C.
Webb yesterday wrote Gov.
Harrison asking him to veto
the legislation and call a spe-
ciai session of the General AS
sembly to reach a fairer reap
nortionment.
He said the Assembly Gig
rored reason, equity and fair
ness in attempting to reappor-
ton It has run roughshod
over the most elementary basic
precept of democracy" Mr..
Webb's Falls Church district is
and would continue to be the
most under-represented area,
numerically, in the State.
But asked about Mr.. Webb's
letter at a press conference,
Gov. Harrison said he had re-
piled, in effect, that the bills
would receive the same careful
attention I try to give all mat
ters."
Both the House and Senate
had light calendars today.
House Floor Leader John War
rem Cooke said resolutions would
be considered at this after
moons session, but the House
will meet again tonight to tackle
the long list of bills that must
be acted upon before Saturdays
adjournment.
Most controversial measure
on the Senate calendar have
been acted upon or still are
awaiting committee approval.
The House yesterday agreed
to minor Senate amendment
and sent to the Governor a bill

turing occupations, Mr.. Teplow
said, because the hazards are
not as obvious" Although over
all occupational safety in this
country has improved, Mr.. Tep-
low said, the 1880 deaths from
job accidents in 1861 is "still
too much" Work injuries and
deaths in 1861 resulted in lost
time equivalent to 40 million
men being absent from the job
one day each.
New Hazards Seen
New technology and automa-
ton in industry have reduced
the manufacturing disability
rate over the years, he said, but
1t has also introduced new types
of hazards.
If a man sits around and
watches a gauge, the work may
be more boring. and his atten-
ton may wander" he ex-
planned. IF fewer people are
working, employees may not
work close enough to watch
each other and to help out in
case of trouble" These hazards
have led in the steel industry,
for instance, to the designation
of a safety watcher, who does
nothing but check on workers,
he said.
1.-THE engineering problems
(of job safety have been large
ly resolved" Mr.. Teplow said.
The great problem today is

The House Appropriations
Committee killed a bill by Sem
ator John A. K. Donovan OF
Fairfax and Falls Church to
expand the scope of the Inter-
state Commission on the Po-
tomac River Basin, to include
study of land resources.
Defeat was virtually certain
when House Speaker E. Black
burn Moore of Berryville made
one OF his rare appearances be-
fore a committee to speak on
pending legislation. Mr.. Moore
said he felt lit is not in the
best interests of Virginia to
broaden and expand" the COM
MISSIONS advisory powers. Other
States in the compact are
Maryland, Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and District of Co.
lumbia.
The Senate passed and sent
to the House a resolution by
Senator Charles R. Fenwick of
Arlington, to continue in oper-
alton the tWo-year-old COM
mission to study matters re-
lating to passenger carrier
facilities in the Washington
Metropolitan area. Maryland
and the District also are par
ticipating in this study.
Judge Bill Amended
The Senate amended a bill
by Delegate James M. Thomson
Of Alexandria, with the result
that only one additional Judge
would be provided the 10th Ju-
dicial Circuit, which also in
cludeS Fairfax and Prince Will
liam counties.
After approving the amend
ment, Is to ID, the Senate
passed the bill and sent it back
to the House for agreement. A
Democratic caucus will be held
tomorrow night to nominate
new judges. Its decisions are
tantamount to election.
Alexandria's State Senator
Armistead L. Boothe, Senator
Donavan and Senator Fenwick
tried unsuccessfully to retain
two additional judges author
lied in the bill.
After spirited debate, the
House passed and then recon-
sidered a bill to raise the speed
limits for automobiles on in
terstate highways to IS miles
an hour, but amended to keep
truck speeds at their present
limit of so miles an hour.
The Senate bill would have
allowed both autos and trucks a
maximum of IS. Delegate
Harrison Mann of Arlington,
said that was too high for
trucks because the Legislature
mas increased their maximum
weight allowance. His amend
ment to cut trucks back to so
miles per hour was approved,
46 to Al.
The amended bill then was
passed, 68 to "a. The House
later reconsidered this vote on
a technicality and must again
vote on the bill today.

A Washington police trial
board today found a 28-year-
old motorcycle policeman guilty
of failing to obey an order of
the chief of police and recon-
mended a $50 fine.
The charge cited the police
mans arrest of a motorist for
making left turn through a
red light when he simply could
have ticketed him, in compli-
ance with a standing written
department order.
The officer had charged the
motorist made a left turn
through a red light at Fiji
teenth and G streets NV, last
December l.
The motorist, S. Manford
Robinson, of 1011 Arlington
boulevard, Arlington, president
of Farnsworth, Ltd, clothiers
located at 1341 F street NV.
and at Seven Corners, Va, has
asserted that the policeman,
Jvt. John w. Marsh, jr., also
filed a second charge against
him as a retaliatory measure
against Mr.. Robinson's COM
plant about the first traffic
charge.
One Charge Dropped
On a motion by Assistant
Corporation Counsel Louis Rob-
bins, a charge against the po-
liceman, of conduct prejudicial
to the police force was dropped
because, he said, the depart
ment had no evidence to put
forth"
The second charge against
the motorist later was dropped
by the Corporation CounseTs
office.
TeStifying at today's trial
board, Mr.. Robinson said he
gave Pvt. Marsh a Virginia
registration for the corporation
owned car and a District
drivers permit listing 1341 F
street NV. as his address. He
said he told the officer he tray
eled from one store to another
during the course of a day.
Pvt. Marsh testified he con-
sidered Mr.. Robinson some
what of a transient" and was
not sure he could serve a sum-
mons on Mr.. Robinson should
he disregard a ticket.
Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Clark F. King, called as a
witness, testified Mr.. Robinson
had told him Pvt. Marsh was
polite and courteous when he
arrested him.
Herman S. Cole, deputy di-
rector of the Department of
Motor Vehicles, testified that
according to the District code
and departmental regulations
Mr.. RobinSon'S drivers permit
was a valid one.

Another highlight of the same

Such incidents have been wide
spread this past year all over the
United States. 1t should be noted
that wherever officials and news

the opposition has quickly sub

Fort Worth, and Amarillo have

bookshelves.
Some of the more disheartening
cases involve attacks against his
tory and other textbooks by a
group calling itself Texans for
America. This group has offered
vast lists of picayune objections to
a number of history books, but
their main target has been This
Is Our Nation by Paul F. Boiler,
Jr., and E. Jean Tilford, published
by Webster. We will focus on this
for a moment.
J. Evetts Haley, speaking for
Texans for America, began with
the fallacy of attacking author
Boiler, whom he accused of hav-
ing the liberals usual Obsession
with democracy" Surely, a
strange sort of crime. Later, using
anonymous letters (Which con-
tanned the exact wording Of Texans
for America Objections), OppO-
nents of this book INDUCED in
vicious character defamation, safe
behind their transparent anOny-
nifty. They charged that DR..
Boiler had been affiliated with
Communist front organizations -
but of course did not name them
or document the charges. This is
a typical tactic. One recalls Ed
win A. Walkers recent blast at a
State Department official who was
allegedly "close of the commu-
nists" It turned out this official
attended two communist rallies,
out of curiosity, at the age of fiji
teen. The fact that he has been
an active anticOmmuniSt since APP
parently did not count.
My own research into charges
anonymously brought against DR..
Boiler revealed absolutely nothing
to merit this kind of smear. The
point here is once again clear
hough Texans for America

the book, they virtually admitted

the book because they do not like
