Leaders Of virginia's Young
Democratic Clubs yesterday
ldodged the issue Of abolishing
the poll tax for State and local
elections.
A resolution that branded
the tax an "a ma hronism
which has outlived it's useful
ness" was referred to a study
group during q State Young
Democratic executive commit
tee meeting in Arlington.
The resolution sought to put
the Young Democrats on rec
ord prior to the special General
Assembly session Gov. Har-
rison has announced he will
call In mid-November. The
session will consider a voter
registration system for Federal
elections to become effective if
the oath United States Consti-
tutional Amendment is rati-
fled.
2 More Notifications Needed
The amendment, which
would abolish the poll tax in
Federal elections, needs only
two more States approval for
ratification.
The resolution, presented by
University Of Virginia Young
Democrats, proposed that a
registered voter submit a sim
pie written statement Of resi-
dence in advance Of each Fed
eral election to qualify, in place
Of poll tax payments.
It then urged the General
Assembly, at its special session,
to extend whatever Federal
election registration system is
adopted to State and local
elections.
In discussion on the resolu-
ton, several Young Democrats
referred to their idea as a
suggestion" but the proposal
left no doubt that it sought to
have "all vestiges of the poll
tax" removed from the States
election laws.
Adverse Reaction Feared
Clifton Woodrum, Virginia's
Young Democratic college
chairman who favored the res
olution. said he was afraid Of
the reaction from Virginians

regardless Of race" Mr.. Banks
explained.
The suit will be one Of
several ways which the NAACP
will continue its about attack
against racial segregation and
discrimination. The NAACP
had indicated earlier that it
was considering such litiga-
ton.
The private schools in the
cities Of Norfolk Charlottes-
vile, and Hopewell and those
in the counties Of Warren,
King and Queen, Prince Ed
ward, Powahatan, Surry and
Chesterfield would be the tar
gets Of the NAACP's omnibus
suit Mr.. Banks said.
These private school sys-
TENS were created after 1853
to escape desegregation Of the
public schools he added. The
private schools accept only
white pupils.
3-Day Convention
at is our position that the
private schools take Sta te
money under the guise Of tut
ton grants TO maintain q seq
regated school system" Mr.,
Banks said.
I'VE are not saying private
schools as such are bad" Mr.
Banks said. I'VE believe that
when they use State money
they must admit all students,
including Negroes, on the
same basis"
The State NAACP will con-
tinue to speed desegregation OF
the public schools by encourage
ing Negro parents to apply for
their children's transfer to all
white schools, Mr.. Banks said,
Interference from the State
Pupil Placement Board has
been minimized. he observed,
The three-day State conven-
ton accelerated the deSegre-

Commission for helping to ac-
complish the desegregation.
The commission has eight
members, four of them Negro.

with selling costs that were

Business Roundup
New DANAC Realty Firm
Completes Record Project

"A recently-formed Montgom-
cry County firm, DANAC Real
Estate Development Corp, has
transacted one of the largest
single commercial deed trans
fers in county history involving
four separate properties with a
value of more than 81 million.
DANAC has acquired title to
the holdings which, according to
its president, Dermot A. Nee,
consist primarily of undevelop-
ed land in the Gaithersburg
area. 1t is currently under study
for eventual development to
meet the future needs of a por-
ton of the county that is being
developed on a business and in
dustrial scale at an unprece-
dented rate.
Already pressed by activities
of new research and develop
ment firms along with the fast
moving Atomic Energy Commits
sion, the area is viewed as the
site of more extensive opera
lions resulting from its selec-
ton by the sprawling National
Bureau of Standards and the
complex program of IBM in the
Gaithersburg area.
Acquisition of the new proper
ties by DANAC is based on a
long-range forecast of expand
ing needs for business, residen-
tial and community facilities,
Dee noted. Principals in the
operation are primarily local
residents whose interests are
conferred on professional and
business activities in the area.
Nee, who is board chairman
as well as president of the cor
