Primary to Be Held Tuesday. Smith and Peery Caim Eighth District. & Y BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, OF Staft Correspondent of The Star. ' ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va. July 29.—The present political cam- paign, involving Democratic nomina- tions for State offices and the House of Delegates and election of members of the Democratic committees in certain localities, comes to a close Monday. The primary will be held Tuesday. The closing hours of the campaign found two of the three gubernatorial candidates, Senator W. Worth Smith, jr., and George C. Peery, each claiming the eighth district, which comprises the Northern Virginia counties. Smith leaders are predicting he will carry all counties in the eighth district, with the possible exception of one, by & large majority. Peery supporters, through H. Bruce Green, Northern Vir- ginia manager, claim victory in this section by a small majority. The coun- ties of Loudoun, Faquier, Louisa, King George and Arlington “show indications of a Peery victory,” Green claims, “while he is assured of a substantial vote in the other sections of the district as well as the city of Alexandria.” Also Claimed by Smith. ‘These same counties are claimed by Smith by substantial majorities, since they comprise the portion of the State in which he believes he has the most strength, both because of his own wide acquaintance here and the popularity of his brother, Representative Howard W. Smith. Joseph T. Deal, the third candidate, sdmittedly has little strength in this section, most of his support coming from the Tidewater section, from which he hails. Peery's strength lies in the 'vast Southwest portion of the State and it is the huge vote in that section which he believes assures him victory in the primary. ‘The biggest issue in the campaign at the present time seems to be the auto- mobile tag fee, since it is generally be- lieved that the legalization of beer and repeal of the eighteent hamendment are already assured, although all three candidates are committed to these. Smith's advocacy of a straight $5 license fee for all pleasure cars is the one thing feared by the Peery support- ers, it is said. Smith states that the highways can be adequately cared for with the revenue from a straight $5 fee and & continuation of the present 5-cent gasoline tax, especially in view of the fact that a large number of cars now laid up because of the inability of their owners to purchase tags at 70 cents per hundred pounds would again be placed | in operation. | Peery is advecating a graduated scale of license fees, beginning with a fee of 810 for all cars weighing up to 3,000 pounds; $15 for cars between 3,000 and 4,000 pounds; $25 for cars between 4,000 and 5,000 pounds and $35 for cars be- tween 5,000 and 6,000 pounds. This, he t:lnugi would place 86 per cent of the cars in the State on the $10 scale. He claims that a $5 fee would wreck the highway department. Other Smith Proposals. Among other things advocated Smith are less frequent changes in text books, substantial reductions in utility rates and use of the contem- Pplated tax on beer for schools. He fur- ther proposes the removal of the school tax from real estate and abolition of the {fee system. = Peery generally favors the continu- ance of the policies of the present a ministration, whose candidate he is. A former chairman of the State Corpora- tion Commission, he favors legislation giving the commission the right to make temporary decreases or increases in Tates where this appears to be neces- sary and without the lengthy proceed. ings now necessary for such action. He .-further advocates a minimum school term with adequate support for edu- cation, :y:on?nhem consideration of the problems of the laboring man, a con- tinuation of the pay-as-you-go plan for road building, no increase in the gaso- line tax or diversion of road funds and aid to the farmers. Deal advocates reduction of all taxe: reduction of the automobile license fees by 50 per cent, a 2-cent reduction in the gasoline tax, reduction in all| public utility rates, control of water power, repeal of the short ballot and segregation of taxes, decentralization of | the State government and an end of | therpouuul leadership of Senator Har- Ty F. Byrd. In Arlington County William D. Med- Jey has been named the Democratic nominee for the House of Delegates be- cause he had no opposition, but in Fair- fax County there are three candidates - for this post. They are John C. Mackall, Herbert F. Willlams and L. C. Painter. Mackall and Williams entered the fight after the death of Delegate Edmund H. Allen and their names are not on the ticket, hence both are conducting edu- ASSEMBLY FIGHT LEADS CAMPAIGN |z, Program SIXTY-TON “KNEELERS” TO BE PLACED IN GOVERNMEINT AUDITORIUM.

D. Cox, manag- ing director for the fete. A mammoth pageant dramatizing the dairy industry—portraying the impor- tant part that pure milk, as it is pro- duced on the modern farms of this area, plays in health work and reveal- ing the vast improvements that are being made in the industry—end the ! “Milky Way” parade will feature the celebration. Students Give Pageant. The pageant will be produced by stu- | dents of the schools located in North- ern_Virginia and will be presided over by Regina III, the queen of the festival. ‘The queen and her two maids of honor will be selected from Culgeper County, the honor of furnishing the queen and maids of honor rotating each year am( the participating counties in alphabetical order. ‘The District of Columbia, the city of Alexandria and the 11 counties that participate in the fete will each send a princess to the festival to hold forth as a member of Regina III's court. Eleven Counties Participate. Arlington, Culpeper, Fauquier, Fair- fax, Loudoun, Madison, Orange, Prince William, Rappahannock, Stafford and | Spotsylvania are the counties that will take part. ‘The “Milky Way” parade, Cox said, will be even more pretentious this year than in 1932, when a procession two and half miles in length marched through Manassas and the outlying community before a gallery of nearly 25,000 people. Mrs. Nelle H. Holmes Seeks to Qust Herring From Prince William. Special Dispatch to The Star. MANASSAS, Va., July 20.—The po- litical campaign in Prince William County has been quite tame, the only spice being the contest for the Assembly between Mrs. Nelle Hyde Holmes and George W. Herring, the incumbent. Both are supporting Worth Smith for Gov- ernor. In the governorship race there ap- pears to be little doubt of the resuit. Three years ago Judge Smith carried \OP .picture shows stoneyard where limestone blocks are stored while await- ing erection in the three-part structure to house the Department of Labor, Government Auditorium and Interstate Commerce Commission Building, on Constitution avenue between Twelfth and Fourteenth streets.

The block from which this was cut at the P. M. B. Quarry, at Oolitic, near Bedford, Ind., was the largest limestone block ever quarried in the State, Wdlhlng' about 100 tons. This weight was cut down to 60 tons in dressing the block. Note size of the big block in comparison to Robert De Croes of Alexander Howie Co., stone erectors. It is zaid to be the largest yet used in any new building in Washington. —Star Staff Photo.
