Negro Voter
List Gains
In Virginia

RICHMOND, May 26 (AP).-
Negro voting registration in
Virginia increased six times as
much as white registration this
year, said Electoral Board Sec
retary Levin Mock Davis.
There was an increase of S.
900 registered Negro voters to
a white gain of about 300.
Mr.. Davis figures showed to-
tai registration at 1,051,243 on
April /. That's an increase of
about 4,450 from last years es-
innate.
White registrants are esti-
mated at 939, ,309, Negro at no.
TAT, and Charles City Indians,
II Additionally, there's an
unspecified category of 1,116-
mostly where the registrants
are not listed by race.
Mr.. Davis estimates also
show a slight drop in Negro
registrants in the 4th Con-
gressional District where there
has been recent Negro registra-
tions drive but a gain in white
registrations.
The figures show this years
Negro registrants in the Dis
trict totaled 1876 compared
with 16,743 last year. White
registrations increased from
81, ,220 to IS, ,808.
w. Lester Banks, executive
secretary of the Virginia State
Conference Of the National As
sociation for the Advancement
of Colored People disputed the
figures. The estimates, said Mr..
Banks, "are purely approxima-
tions and in many instances
are grossly inaccurate. Despite
what they show, there has been
a gradual increase in Negro
registrations In the 4th Dis
trict."
In Prince Edward County,
also in the 4th, there were
lilo Negro registrants in 1860
and Mr.. Davis estimates there
now are 665. In the county,
a dispute has simmered for
some time over school inte-
grafton. Public schools have
been closed for three years.
Mr.. Davis estimates in the
10th Congressional Distric t,
which includes suburban WASH
ington counties are: White,
140,402; Negro. 1922; total
144,324.

A "gate-crasher" turned
up at the Jordsnian EN-
baSsy's Independence Day
party last night, and re-
fused to be sent away.
The crasher was an anony-
nous dog. resembling a chow,
who wandered up the front
steps shortly after the party
began. The host and hostess.
Ambassador and Mrs. Hal
kal had never seen him be-
fore.
The announcer at the
front door told him politely
but firmly, "Gol Go away"
And after shifting toward the
dining room, the dog did.
Back on the front landing
again, he observed there
were guests, also food, on the
side lawn and a path leading
to them. So he took it.
The chow or whatever, q
creature with pleasant man
ners. made friends with a
waiter (who gave him a
cookie), jumped up on Gen.
Leigh Wade presumably just
to say hello. rolled in the
grass, wheedled tidbitS from
guests by sticking his head
in their laps and generally
had q fine time. He even
posed for a picture with his
host and hostess, who by
then had submitted to the in
evitable-his presence. He
stayed longer than most.
The party, held from 6 to
8 o'clock, drew all the Arab
Ambassadors, including the
new envoys from Syria and
Morocco, and many other
members Of the diplomatic
corps. Among the American
guests were DR.. and Mrs.
Worth Mcclure. whose son
Russell is director Of AID in
Jordan.
Ambassador Haikal, who
recently returned from 40
days at home. said he was
greatly heartened by the
bright outlook" in his coun-
try.
The guests were treated to
champagne and a buffet sup
per featuring such Near
Eastern specialties as whole
stuffed lamb and kibbah.

their supper out there.

because of insanity in view of
what the defense lawyer called
Overwhelming evidence" that
Williams had been of unsound
mind.
II don't suppose there has
been anyone that has had
such a long siege of mental ill
ness as the appellant in this
case" Mr.. Laughlin said.
The defense lawyer said Will
liams' rerord, which included
every type of offense, murder,
rape and crimes of violence
year after year." made it clear
that he "fit into the category
Of psychopathic."
Sees Hospital Confinement
Mr.. Laughlin said that re-
gardless of everything else it
was clear that Williams, be-
cause of his mental state,
should spend the rest of his
life in a mental hospital rather
than a penitentiary.
Assistant United States At
torney A. g. Amsterdam diff
fered with Mr.. Laughlin on the
weight Of the evidence on the
insanity issue. The prosecutor
said that five of the seven doc
tors who examined Williams in
1861 found him either not
mentally i'll or not sufficiently
i'll that a mental disease could
be considered the cause Of the
crimes.
Judges who heard the argu-
ments yesterday in the VIII
liams' case, were George T.

and j. Skelly Wright.

Cossini Designs
Are More Subdued

If any one could tell when
she wears ours or the
French, which should be a
compliment to the American
design industry"
His fall and winter collec-
ton is q fashion diary Of
the elegant comings and 60
ings and yearnings Of Mrs.
Kennedy.
In difference to the First
Lady's forthcoming trip
south Of the border, there
was the Mexican influence
heavy wool embroidery on
wool suits and easy sheaths;
sheaths with silken fringe;
shawls with fringe, too. and
high-crowned sombreros.
Indian Influence
And naturally there was
India. Nehru suits and pan
dit coats were done in Alas
kline fabrics. paisley prints
and rich metallic brocades.
Possibly Cassini's ideas
about what Mrs. Kennedy
might do with some of those
saris she brought home are
represented by costumes he
calls Laotian Sims.
The Sims include a bright
hued, floor-length skirt that
falls into a multiple pleat at
the side, simple blouses, and
a sari-type stole.
But Cassini's new, elegant
silhouette, that indicates the
body without showing it, has
the French accent that Mrs.
Kennedy prefers in her ward
robe. In his fall line there
is a new modesty, with long
sleeves. high necks and just
occasionally baroness in back.
With the exception of a
black crepe elasticized dress
the figure-hugging costumes
that have typified Cassini in
the past were missing.

A high dam has been pro-
posed at Seneca by the Army

flood a good deal of Maryland
and Virginia area and a part of
the canal.
Asks for Cleanup q.
Justice Douglas, one of the
most famous mixers to beat the
canal paths, said the money
should be used to clean up the
lower river instead of building
the Chigh leveD dam"
He said 30 per cent Of the
water stored at the Seneca dam
would be used to flush the river
and only 20 per cent for drink
ing.
"a broad recreation program
could be worked out with the
State of Maryland to make the
area good for swimming, fish
ing and canoeing, and we'd still
have enough water to drink, .
he said.
It was reported that Justice
Douglas invited Gov. Tawes to
take a hike along the canal.
Gov. Tawes, who just finished
travelling over much of the
State in the Democratic primary
campaign. didn't take him UP

Families who coddle early
alcoholics do more harm than
good, a member Of Alcoholics
Anonymous believes.
They may be making a real
contribution to prolonging the
illness by pretending there
really isn't anything wrong.
Fruitless and pointless ef-
forts to make alcoholism less
painful does the alcoholic a
disservice, the A. A. member
told q COMMUNICATIVE confer
ence on alcoholism control yes
terday.
Hiding the illness, coddling
the victim, making excuses and
covering up for him puts off
the day when his problem must
be faced.
Suffering the natural conse-
quences of his illness can be
the thing that drives the alco-
holics to seek help,
people in A. A. have an
expression" the member said.
"They say they exist by attrac-
ton rather than promotion.
In many cases a family may
call A. A., but the alcoholic isn't
ready. He hasn't begun to suf-
fer the natural consequences
of alcoholism"
Recognition Stressed
The remarks of the A. A.
member were made during a
conference sponsored by the
Washington Area Council on
Alcoholism, a United Givers
Fund agency, at the Mayflower
Hotel. The conference stressed
the Importance of many pro-
fessions and agencies working
together in an enlightened COM
munity to help the alcoholic.
Recognizing the problem and
getting it out into the open
was a note sounded again and
again during the session, at
tended by more than 300 per-
sons.
A panelist, the Rev. Alfred
B. Starratt, rector of Emman-
uel Episcopal Church of Balti-
more, said in response to a
question from the floor that
several members Of his church
were alcoholics.
