If Virginia fails to wipe out
its poll tax entirely, I'VE could
end up with the two houses Of
the General Assembly being
elected by two different groups
of voters" according to Omer
L. Hirst, Democratic candidate
for the State Senate.
The warning was sounded
yesterday by the former mem
Der Of the House of Delegates
at a reception at the Vienna
Fire House for Democratic
candidates from the Fairfax
Falls Church area.
Gov. Harrison expects to call
a special session of the Gen.
eral Assembly about mid-No-
vember to enact new registra-
ton requirements for voters in
Federal elections. This is be-
cause an amendment to the
Federal Constitution is ex-
pected to take effect next year
to outlaw the poll tax as a
prerequisite for voting for
President and members Of
Congress.
Virginia intends to retain its
capitation tax as a qualifica-
ton for voting in State cleo
lions - for governor, general
Assembly and local offices.
Amendment Outlined
1.-THE 18th Amendment to
the United States Constitu-
ton requires that the qualifica-
ton for electors for the United
States Senate be the same as
those for the electors of the
most numerous house of the
state legislature" Mr.. Hirst
said.
IF Virginia attempts to keep
the poll tax for the House of
Delegates, it will throw doubt

THE RAMBLER, unfortu-
nately, Is not the type to
get things fixed Immediately.
He never quite gets around
to it, so to speak. He Just
planned 70 get the horn
fixed.
Anyway, in driving under
this hornless condition he
did notice he was far more
careful and took fewer
chances.
No more passing trucks on
the right
No more passing trucks on
the left.
No more sweeps through
residential neighborhoods
with car and horn wide
open, scattering tots, dogs,
pet ducks, cats and teen
ayers.
Alleys were crept through.
Intersections were APP
preached with great caution.
There was only one draw
back.
Previously. when the Rams
bier had been stopped at q
light and the fat sap in back
struck up an irritating series
Of honks Just as the light
flashed green, he would al
ways blow back. Sometimes
the two of us would drive
for blocks blowing back and
forth at one another to get
the last blast.
But, more and more, he
began to realize what little
use a horn had ever been
to him. He wondered If the
thing had ever actually pre-
vented an accident-recall-
ing that most of the crack
ups he's seen have always
been preceded by the blow
ing Of the horn, the screech
of tires and then the smash.
It is sort Of the thing to do
before you plow into some
one.

Preliminary designs for the
proposed Ninth street express
way include a curved tunnel to
save a major Smithsonian In
stitute building and incorporate
the first major use Of "air-
rights" in the District, it was
learned today.
The design Is far enough
along so that officials hope to
hold a hearing on the express
way in the second week of No
vember.
The curved tunnel below the
surface of the mall has been
planned because the 84-year-
old Arts and Industries Build
ing sits in the path Of the

The
Rambler
Is
Anti-Noise
By JOHN McKELWAY

1t was Just a year ago
today.
The horn Of the Rambler's
1858 charger, a Chevy, fell
off in his lap.
Technically, it was not the
horn. The horn Is located
near the engine under the
hood. What came apart un-
expectedly was that circular
piece Of chrome attached 10
the steering wheel and a
round, blue, button-shaped
object which once was stuck
to the end Of the steering
column. Together, the two
objects and a few screws
make up that part Of the
automobile horn which is
located inside the car. You
could press either object and
sound the horn. 1t went
"beep."
Something had gone wrong
with the horn about a week
previously. It had started
blowing voluntarily once the
car reached speeds of more
than Is miles an hour. It
was not a prolonged blast
but more Of a suffering
humble. Strange.
The sound stopped if the
Rambler wrestled with the
circular piece of chrome.
This action was apparently
what eventually weakened
the device and the RAM
bier was trying to stop the
horn from blowing when it
fell off in his lap.
An interesting thing hap
pened afterward.

COunseI's Advice

County Attorney Robert G.
Tobin, jr.. already has told the
Council it has no authority to
allocate the funds unless it can
prove the money is necessary
for an unexpected or unfore-
seen condition of serious con-
sequences.
The council may want judi
cial advice as a safeguard
against a possible taxpayers
suit that could be filed If the
money is appropriated, a coun-
ty official said.
If a citizen felt the funds
we're appropriated Illegally, he
could file a suit holding each
council member responsible for
the action.
School officials last week
said the approximate 6,000-stu-
dent increase in enroIlments
last month, coupled with the
councils earlier cut Of 200 adj
ditional new teachers requested
by the school board. has re-
suited in the oyercrowded class
rooms. The most serious
teacher shortage is found in
secondary schools where about
rs per cent of the classrooms

ratio Of Is pupils for each

parts Of the program, as well as
the program as a whole, will
have enough income from con-
tributions and from interest
earned on trust fund investments
to meet future benefit payments

Such an ALLEGATION would not

the program, the Trustees note

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
problem is my mother. She
is 70 and lives alone in an
apartment in a nearby town.
l see her every day and take
her out shopping. She began
to lose weight, complain of
excessive thirst and hunger,
so l had her checked for dia-
beteS. The doctor found it and
prescribed medicine for her
to take every day instead of
insulin. He says she also has
hardening of the arteries.
The doctor prescribed a pill
for her every night for sleep.
Now, the thing that worries
me most is that she has hal
fluctuations. She sees people
come to her apartment and
she says they take things and
sit in her kitchen, etc. She
gets furious when l say it is
her imagination. She calls
me crazy for saying these
things do not really happen.
Could it be possibly she is
having a reaction from the
medicine she takes at night?
She never had any of these
symptoms before she began
taking the pills.-Mrs. o.
I'D HAVE TO KNOW what
medicine she is taking, and
also know the extent of her
atherosclerosis Hardening of

been careful in prescribing
sedativeS for the elderly.
