INSKEEP. Members of the Virginia General | Assembly and officers of all of the 100 counties of the State were to be selected at the polls today in an election that | has been marked by a general lack of | interest except in Arlington County, | where a change in the present form of government is to take place on next January 1. . Blate-wide interest is centered upon the selection of 40 Senators and 100 members of the House of Delegates The Republicans, with one Senate place uncontested, are seeking six seats Eight Socialists are also running for the Senate. Many Decided at Primary. In Northern Virginia most of the contests were decided at the Democratic primary. This is particularly applicable to Fairfax and Prince William Counties. Election of John W. Rust of Pairfax 10 represent this district in the State Sen- ate seemed assured. Little opposition was expected from his opponents, Wil- L. Norford, Alexandria; Landon 1l Painter, Hybla Valley, and Mrs. Julia_Morgan Jones, Alexandria. J. Pred Birrell had no opposition for, the Alexandria House of Delegates seat He has represented Alexandria for sev- | eral sessions. There was little interest | being shown at the polls there, Early activities at the polls in Ar- lington County indicated that there would be a record vote cast today as a climax to the most aggressive cam- paign for county offices ever conducted there. There are approximately 6,000 qualified voters in the county, and it was belleved that a greater proportion Of these would cast thelr ballots. Activity at the voting places was un- precedented, there being 78 candidates, to say nothing of their numerous back- ers, distributed among the eleven pre- cincts of the county and making last- minute appeals for votes. These were also making tabulations of the way they thought the ballots were cast. Police Aid Sheriff. The entire county police force, with the exception of Edward Duncan, jr., who was acting as jailer, was distribu- uted among the precincts to seek sup- port of Sheriff Howard B. Fields for re-election. Duncan is & son of the supervisor from Jefferson district, who is opposing Fields for the office of sher- iff, and was placed in an inactive place at’ his own Tequest. It was belleved, however, that A. C. Clements would poll a heavier vote than the Jefferson IT-HOW CANYOU ? Indigestion After Meals?

Schulze, were not believed to be in the running. Commonwealth's attorney race was expected to be much closer, there being three strong candidates in the fleld. These candidates are Willlam C. Gloth, incumbent; Lawrence W. Doug- las and Clarence R. Ahalt. Douglas was generally believed to be Gloth's most dangerous opponent, despite the fact that Ahalt is Republican nom- inee. Political observers predicted the re-election of Gloth by a not too com- fortable margin, with Ahalt a close third. The other two candidates for this office, Amos C. Crounse and Emery N. Hosmer, were not credited with lu(- ficient strength to make them dan- gerous. Prophecy Hard to Make. It has been extremely difficult to make any kind of reasonable p Cy as to ehe outcome of the race for justice of the new County Court. Among the eight candidates who were seeking this of there was but one who had the ad- vantage of being an r, This candidate is Su isor B. M. Hedrick, who also had added advantage of being the Republican nominee. Certainty of Hedrick's election was being loudly proclaimed by many of his supporters, but the “old- Y.Ime" poli- ticians of the county were not so cer- tain. They pointed to the fact both \:‘v‘um U.flg:n;:]y and Bryan Gordog ve considerable open support ‘an that J. Hammond Brewer, jr., who has been conducting a “silent” camj 5 might have accumulated sufficlent sup- port to gain the office. These four were held to be the strongest, thereby eliminating the other four, W. Thomas French, H. W. Dudley, Hugh M. Mc- Caffrey and Melvin G. Ely. Hugh Reid, present member.of the General Assembly, was expected to be re-elected, but not by the plurality en- Jjoyed by him two years ago. His op- ponent, J. Foster Hagan, Republican nominee, is a native of Arlington Coun- ty and has many friends in both polit- ical parties who were expected to give him their votes. Altogether, it was be- lieved that Hagan is the strongest Re- publican nominee selected here in many years, but he is faced by one problem that is hard to overcome. Many im- portant questions coming before the General Assembly are decided in Democratic caucus and since Repbli- cans are not permitted to partiipate many voters fear & lack of full repre- sentation unless & Democrat is se- lected. Little Doubt on Green. ‘There was little doubt as to the re- election of Harry K. Green as com- missioner of revenue and no doubt as to the re-election of E. Wade Ball as coynty treasurer. Green was weing opposed by C. W. Clever, Republican nominee, but the latter was not credit- ed with any great amount of strength. Ball had no opposition, being the only resent office holder to find himself such a happy position. To prophesy the exact outcome of the county board race was deemed next to impossible. There were five places to fill from 51 candidates and while a certain number of them were consid- ered Jeaders, no litical prognosticator could be found who would commit him- self to the task of naming the five who would be successful. Among those named as leaders were: Fred A. Gosnell, John C. Gall, Rob- ert H. Forman, F. Freeland Chew, E. C. Turnburke, Harry A. Fellows, Robert E Plymale, George D. Ricker, Louis C. Carl, Maj. F. H. Goff, William C. Hull, Lyman M. Kelly, Mrs. Elizabeth Barron | Magruder. William A. E. McShea, Wil- | liam R. Rose, Fred N. Windridge and Albert H. Cohen. There was a general feeling of opti- mism among voters as to the outcome of county board selections, many express- ing the opinion that the election of any five of the above-named candidates would insure a capable selection for county manager and an efficient ad- ministration of county affairs for the next four years.

Nettleship, 4 Bloom Asks for Beer| In Long Bethesda Speerh and (,ets It By » Staff Correspondent of The Star BETHESDA, Md., November 3 — His throst parched after addressing the Bethesda Chamber of Commerce for more than an hour last night. Representative Sol Bloom of New York, associate director of the George Washington Bicentennial Commission, halted his talk to ask. Jokingly, if he could have a glass of beer. There was a smile from the audi- ence at the reference but the speaker was about to proceed when a mem- ber of the Entertainment Committee, who had slipped quietly from. the room, ceme marching down the aisle bearing a bottle of foaming brew Amid roars of laughter, Repre- sentative Bloom poured himsell a glass of the beer, allowed it to settle a minute and then drank it with gusto. The bottle bore no label, but it 8 not believed, however, to have contained anything stronger than the “near-beer” variety. BICENTENNIAL SEEN COMBATING “REDS” Representative Sol Bloom Speaks to Bethesda Chamber of Commerce. By & Btaft Correspondent of The Star. BETHESDA, Md., November 3 —The George Washington Bicentennial cele- bration and the establishment of the United States Bicentennial Commis- sion is one of the best things this country has ever gone to combat Com- munism Represenitative Sol Bloom of New York, associate director of the United States George Washington Bi- centennial Commission, told members of the Bethesda Chamber of Commerce in an address at the county building here last night. Exisf histories of Washington and of the formation of this country were hit by the speaker as being inaccurate and having been written to please poli- ticians. “We are giving the world for the first time the true history of Wash- ington,” Representative Bloom said. Speaking concerning the celebration next year, the commissions director told how it would be different from any other celebration ever held anywhere. “There isn't & line of business in the United States today,” he said, “that cannot fit into this celebration.” “It is to be distinctly a celebration by the people themselves,” Director Bloom reminded his hearers. “The Government contemplates no central exposition, no show of material wealth, to be held in any one place. Instead, the people themselyes are being en- couraged and aided to stage this cele- bration where George Washington would prefer it to be held—in their schools and churches and homes, in their own hearts,” he said. Director Bloom, in opening his talk, paid tribute to this community by say- ing that he spent the Summer here dur- ing the past year, it being the first Summer in 30 years he had not spent in Europe and that his wife agreed with him that it was the most pleasant Sum- mer they had ever spent. Thirteen new members were taken into the chamber at a short business session which preceded the meeting. ‘These new merabers, Thomas L. Peyton, secretary, states, bring the total mem- bership of the organization to about 175. ‘The new members taken in_ were Frank T. Fuller of Chevy Chase, Edwin L.

Lee declared he is steadfast in his decision, and will await the action of union officers.
