Billboard Ban
Assured for
Interstate Net
BY a Star Staff Writer

RICHMOND. Jan. 17.-Pas-
sage Of legislation banning bill
boards along the entire Federal
interstate highway network in
Virginia was assured today
when a bill for this purpose was
introduced in the House OF
Delegates bearing the names of
50 of the 100 members as
sponsors.
When enacted it will entitle
Virginia to a bonus" Of $6
million to 81 million for pro-
viding safeguards along the en-
tire 1,054-mile network.
Two years ago the Legislature
passed a bill to curb outdoor
advertising but failed to include
about 180 miles of interstate
right-of-way acquired prior to
June, 1860.
Extending the ban through
out the State will enable Vir-
ginia to collect the bonus.
Favorable Senate action also
is expected.
Legislation to wipe out Vir-
ginia'S "blank sheet" voter reg
istration law, which apparently
was supposed to slow down
registration of Negro voters,
also was before the General
Assembly today.
One of a package of bills to
erase the controversial measure
was offered by Arlington Dele
gates Harrison Mann, william
Winston and Kathryn Stone.
They Joined 80 others in
sponsoring companion measures
leading to a final decision on
the issue by the voters in
November.
The so-called "blank sheet"
law is a product of the 1858
Legislature. Tempers were high
at that time over the public
school integration issue.
Printed Form Barred
The law was based on an
Interpretation of the State
constitution that a person could
be given only a blank sheet Of
paper to supply certain infor-
nation, without assistance, to
qualify to vote. It barred the
use Of printed registration
forms which had been used in
many areas.
BY 1860. the Legislature set
out to correct the situation by
removing the offending Ian
guage from the constitution
and inserting permissive Ian
guage for registration forms.
The 1862 Legislature must again
approve the constitutional
change before a referendum can
be held this fall.
Meanwhile, a freshman dele
gate, Robert S. Orr of Lee
County, was circulating another
measure leading to a referen-
dunn four years from now on
abolishing the poll tax as a pre-
requisite for voting.
Among other bills introduced
yesterday were two by Arling-
ton State Senator Charles r.
Fenwick making wholesale re-
visions in the laws governing
labor and industry. Mr.. Fen
wick headed a subcommittee of
the Virginia Advisory Legisla-
tive Council that held hearings
and made recommendations in
this field.

Mr.. Diem testified that the

Mr.. Dien said the doctor Sug-
gested also that it might not

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. -
Steadily. almost stealthily, ;
change has swept over United
States politics.
The Nations Capital, once
a shrine for the rumpled
cutaway and the frayed
string tie, has turned into a
well-dressed city.
Drop in on the Senate: It's
members look as If they could
be at q staff meeting of q

agency.
Move over to the House:
There's more variety in dress
here. but it's still so discreet
ly conservative-with q few
loud sports-coated exceptions
that little can be termed
spectacular, or even eye
catching.
Wander down Pennsylvania
avenue to the White House:
Here is a young, clothes-re-
specting President, who
dresses properly for each &C.
casion. from a formal dinner
to touch football
These well-groomed facts
become especially timely as
5000 members and guests of
the National Association of
Retail Clothiers and Fur
nishers prepare to descend on
this town this week.
Disaster Area
They're here for their 44th
annual convention. It's their
first in Washington. Always
before the mems wear folks
had looked upon us, with
some JuStlflcatlon, as a Sar-
torial disaster area.
Yet as long ago as 1929
there were stylish hints of
what might come.
That's when Elizabeth B.
Hurlock, a Phi. D. from CO.
lumbia, completed her study.
THE Psychology of Dress"
in which she maintained that
under a democracy the White
House should set the fashion
pace.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-04

But this is not the case"
DR.. Hurlock said. with the
exception of President Blu
chanan and President Arthur,
the executives Of the Ameri-
can people have paid little
attention to fashionable at
tire.
Perhaps If they were
younger when they came into
office, and if they had fewer
affairs Of state to attend to,
they would be able to devote
more time to setting fash
ions for the Nation to follow.
LAS a rule. the President
is too seriouS-minded to be
a true dandy and his wife
is too dignified to be inter-
ested in fashions whic h
would appeal to the more
frivolous women Of the coun-
try"
While President Kennedy
isn't exactly q true dandy,
the clothiers aren't quibbling.
He's a boon to their industry,
just as Mrs. K. is to women's
fancy clothes.
Louis Rothschild, the
clothiers executive director
and a lifelong Washington
ian, says there's no question
about it, a Presidents taste
subtly affects us all, Demo-
crat and Republican.

ers have come up with suits

Members Of the Montgomery
County Citizens Planning As
Sociation last night gave the
third degree to some Of their
friends-members Of two plan
ning-mtnded Democratic pri-
mary tickets. The result was
almost unanimous agreement
between the ticket candidates
and the published position of
the planning group.
With minor exceptions candi-
dates for the County Demo-
Gratis and the Democrats for
Progress, local arm of the Ma
honey-Lee Statewide ticket,
agreed that the county council
should have more control over
the planning process, that it
should preserve open spaces and
create q moratorium on re-
zoning pending the adoption
Of a master plan.
But there were some sur
prises. An independent candi-
date told the 100 planning
minded citizens that the Year
so00 plan could do more harm
than good.
And an expected controver-
sial discussion on conflict of
interest involving planning
commissioners was Suuelched
when County Council President
David L. Cahoon said such
charges against Planning Board
Chairman ]. Newton Brewer,
Jr., were Questionable at the
very best"
Land Ownership Cited
The citizens planning group
had mentioned Mr.. Brewer in a
recent conflict-of interest re-
port. The report cited a large
tract Of land owned by Mr..
Brewers wife and brother-in-
law, and said this put him in a
personal conflict when he voted
for high+riSe apartment reguIa-
tions and rezoning.
- Mr.. Cahoon, who is running
FOR the House Of Delegates on
the County Democrats slate,
said Mr.. Brewers wife inherited
the land. part of which has
been rezoned for apartments,
and that Mr.. Brewer is not a
land Speculator nor a business
man who makes a living from
real estate.
.Basically, however, candi-
dates for the two states agreed
with aims Of the citizens group.
