ROLLING TO VICTORY
$4,000 for $4,000 Job

John L. Scott rolled to victo-
ry in his race for the Virginia
General Assembly with seven
used cars that helped boost his
campaign expenditures to $24,-
113-more than any other can
didate spent.
The Fairfax County Demo-
Gratis campaign expenditures
were the highest in Virginia
reported in the recent election
to the State Board of Elections
at Richmond.
81 don't think it's so much,
although it's more than I mi
TALLY intended to spend" he
said today.
Mr.. Scott said he had to pass
three obstacles in his race: He
was a political unknown, there
was local newspaper opposition
and another candidate had the
same last name.
Mr.. Scott. whose new politi-
cal post as a delegate from
Fairfax-FallS Church will pay
him less than $4,000 for the
two-year term, attacked the
problem of distinguishing him
self from the other candidate
named Scott in unusual fash
ion.
He bought seven used cars,
painted them white and wrote
his name on them. He said he.

not include him among the
Democratic candidates it in
dorsed during the week before
election. He said this required
him to spend nearly $4,000
more in newspaper and radio
advertising.
Mr.. Scott said he hired sew
eral campaign W 'kers and
that he had included in his re-
port to Richmond every con-
ceivable nickel"
Il waged a very effective
campaign, for every Democrat
who was running" Mr.. Scott
said. He noted that he is still
receiving contributions and
said that he hopes he will not
have a large debt.
He pointed to his total of 90
254 votes, only 10 shy of the
leading total of Delegate-elect
Guy o. Farley, jr.. Democrat of
Fairfax.
This came to more than 81 a
vote. in marked contrast to the
expenses of William F. Will
ioughby, independent candidate
for State Senator from Fairfax.
Mr.. Willoughby got 100 votes
for every penny. He spent IS
cents on stamps for press re-
leases and received 1921 votes
But Mr.. Willoughby lost.

To Bomb Score

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (AP).-
An unfortunate choice of words
by Gene Conley, pro basketball
player. was the apparent cause
of a bomb scare at LaGuardia
Airport last night, police re-
port.
Conley, of the New York
Knickerbockers, told police he
said at a boarding gate in the
terminal, We're going to bomb
the Celtics."
An airline employee thought
he was making a bomb threat,
police said, and turned in an
alarm. No planes we're affected.
The FBI questioned Conley,
who left the terminal about
four hours after the reported
incident. Police said they pre-
sumo he went to Boston, en-
route to his home in Taunton,
Mass.

Of the Presidents desire to

and Mr.. johnson felt that
Senate and House leaders and
those members with special
responsibilities regarding for

have the information.
The President wanted these
congressional leaders to be as

economy in defense spending
would in no way keep the
United States from retaining
its present pre-eminent posi-
ton in military power, a White
House source explained.

the commission, which has
already held two meetings,
would get together again as
soon as it receives the bulky
FBI report. Chief Justice
Warren said, however. that the
date of the next meeting has
not been determined.
Wide Experience
Mr.. Rankin, a Republican, is
now practicing law in New
York. He has had wide expert
ence both in private practice
and in the Federal service.
Born in Harrington. Nebr.,
on July 8. 1907, he practiced
law in Lincoln, Nebr., from
1881 to 1858. He was one of
the first Assistant Attorney
Generals selected by Attorney
General Herbert Brownell when
he took office in January, 1858.
Mr.. Rankin, as head of the
Justice Departments office of
Legal Counsel. held the key
assignment of advising the
President on the preparation
of proclamationS and executive
orders.
He was named Solicitor Gen.
eral in 1856, a post in which he
represented the Government in
all Supreme Court cases involv-
ing Federal interests. He re-
turned to private law practice
in January, 1861.
During his Justice Depart
ment service, he was active in
the administrations legal bat
ties for school desegregation
and presented the Govern
ment's argument in the basic
case that led to the Supreme
Court ruling against segrega-
ton.

1t is the only subsidiary coin

be struck than if the designs

The Chief Justice. who is
chairman Of the Seven-man
commission, did not spell out
Mr.. Rankin's duties but pre-
sumably his role will center on
collecting investigative mater
ials from all sources and pre-
Senting it to the commission
for its evaluation.
The first inveStigative report
is now in the hands of the
commission.
Chief Justice Warren said "a
summary of the FBI report
was delivered to the commits
sion late yesterday. He de-
scribed it as five volumes of
summary and exhibits"
mo further announcement
will be made concerning the
report until the commission
has had an opportunity to re-

White House statement added,
"the country would benefit by
being able to put into circula-
ton more than twice as many
coins for the silver used. The
cost of making a new coin
would be nominal, since the
design already exists and the
work connected with making
new dies would be accomplished
within the Treasury Depart
