POLLARD SELEGTON] OF FRAZIER STANDS Governor-Elect Has Not Changed Mind About Hayes’ Successer, He Says. 8pecial Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., January 13.—Gov. elect John Garland Pollard has flatly denied that he has been persuaded to change his mind in regard to the re- placement of James M. Hayes, jr., as motor_vehicle commissioner by T. Mc- Call Frazier, and Dr. Pollard's state- | ment apparently has put an active end- to the effort of Mr. Hayes' inti- mates in the General Assembly to challenge the governor-elect’s decision | in the matter. Has Not Changed Mind. “I have not changed my mind,” Dr. Pollard said. “The report that i asked for a new informal expression from the Assembly Friday as to the re- appointment of Mr. Hayes is not true. I conferred with many members of the Assembly before making up my mind, but, having come to a decision, I cer- tainly have no intention of chang- ing it." Meanwhile the likelihood arose that several signers of the Hayes petition would take occasion today to withdraw their signatures on the grounds that they signed uunder an erronecus im- pression. E. A. Hicks. delegate from Champ- bell County, who was reported to have circulated the secret petition in the House, has denied that he had circu- lated it. “I recelved it, signed it and passed it on,” Mr. Hicks said. “Reports that I was circulating it through the House | are absolutely untrue. No Challenge to Pollard. “I signed the thing as an expression of confidence in Mr. Hayes' abilit as a challenge to Dr. Pollard’s decis in the matter. I have no idea of opposing the mnew governor's wishes or fighting against his appointment, whatever it may be. But I am not ashamed of saying that Mr. Hayes is a good officer and that I should like to_see him retained in office.” Mr. Hicks said the petition came to him from Delegate L. A. Shrader of Amberst and J. B. Allman of Franklin, and that he, in turn, passed it on to Wwilliam A. Wright of Essex. Mr. Wright did not believe the pre- vailing report that Dr. Pollard wanted a new expression from the House on the Hayes matter, and immediately pro- ceeded to check the rumors. He found them untrue.

BETHESDA, Md, January 13.—Au- thorization for the appointment of & | budget committee will be considered to- night at the meeting of the Montgom- ery County Civic Federation, which will hold its regular meeting at the high school here. The matter was presented to the federation at its last meeting by Robert E. Bondy of Edgemoor and un- der the rules was laid over for a month. The appointment of such a commit- tee has become most important, it was pointed out by delegates to the organi- zation, because of the frequent presen- tation to the body of projects requiring large expenditures of public money. According to those sponsoring the mat- time give its -Pproval to various public works, particularly new public roads, without any consideration as to where the funds are coming from to pay for them. It will be the duty of the proposed new committee, if it meets with the ap- proval of the federation, to examine into all new projects offered to the or- ganization for consideration and their relative importance, taking into ac- count the income from taxes. When- ever any projects have been propose y member organizations of the feder- ation, there inevitably follows long de- bate as to the cost and the provision of funds, and few have any information on this phase. It will be among the duties of the proposed new committee to examine into these details and re- port all the facts to the federation for consideration. The federation thus will be enabled to study proposed proj- ects and their relative importance. With the appointment by President Stephen James of Linden of the new committee for the ensuing year, and the sugestion that meetings be held and chairmen elected before Monday night's meeting, it is expected that the feder- ation will be informed as to the results IN TANGLE IN HOUSE | sembly May Defeat Purpose of Proposed Act.
