Campbell Requests
Recount in Virginia's
10th District Election
A recount of votes cast in Vir-
I ginia’s 10th District congressional
: race has been asked by Edmund
| D. Campbell, defeated Democratic
; nominee in the November 4 elec
i tion, it was announced today.
1 Chairman Boggs of the Special
I House Committee to Investigate
(Campaign Expenditures said he,
received the request and will pre-i
sent it to his committee at 10:30
a.m. Tuesday.
Mr. Campbell, who lost to Re
publican Joel T. Broyhill by 322 j
votes, according to the official
tally, based his request on a sur-;
vey of the 10th District balloting,'
made by James R. Naughton ol
the Democratic National Congres
sional Committee.
No Fraud Suspected.
Mr. Naughton’s findings were
included in a letter sent by Mr.
Campbell Wednesday to the com
mittee chairman. The findings
were:
1. There is a substantial possi
bility that a number of honest
errors were made in counting and
totaling votes for Congress:
2. There is definite evidence
indicating that a number of valid
ballots for Congress may have
been declared void by mistake.
3. There is a substantial pos
sibility that sufficient errors were
made in counting and totaling
ballots and in failing to count
valid ballots to change the result
of the Congressional election.
Mr. Campbell said he asked the
committee to conduct the recount
because Virginia law makes no
provision for a recount of votes
in a Congressional election. He
said he is “confident there was
no fraud or intentional miscon
duct on the part of public officials
or candidates.”
Mr. Campbell’s assertion that
Virginia law makes no provision
for a recount of votes cast in a
congressional election was ampli
fied today by State Senator John
A. K. Donovan, Falls Church at
torney, who said he received a
written opinion from Virginia’s
attorney general, J. Lindsay Al
mond, on the subject.
The ruling said there is no pro
vision for the recount after a can
didate has been certified as the
winner. Prior to the certification
of the vote a recount may be
granted.
Major emphasis in Mr. Naugh
ton’s analysis of the 66,000 votes
cast centered on returns from
Fairfax and Alexandria. In the
latter community, he was unable
to examine poll books, because
they were sealed up with the
ballots. As a result, he was not
able to determine the number of
ballots that were voided.
Paper Ballots Predominate.
These two communities and
Falls Church used paper ballots,
while Arlington, the fourth com
munity in the 10th District, used
voting machines.
Mr. Naughton said he found
evidence that “a substantial num- 1
ber of legal ballots for Congress
may not have been counted in
the mistaken belief that they were
void.” This resulted because “in
experienced persons were hastily
pressed into service to help handle
the counting . . . and did not
have a clear idea of which ballots
were valid and which were void.”
Other factors cited by Mr.
Naughton as conducive to “honest
errors” were: A record vote, use
of paper ballots, with Fairfax
voters getting five separate bal
lots and Alexandria voters get
ting four separate ballots and.

The vote in Fairfax County’s

The tally there showed that 2,469

j Byrd Calls for Probe
Os 'Excessive' U. S.
Employes Overseas
By the Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 12.—Sen
ator Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia
today called for “a thorough in
vestigation” of overseas Federal
civilian employes, with an eye to
reducing their number.
Senator Byrd returned yesterday
from what he said was “only a
I hunting trip” on the estate of
ißernard Baruch, near Kingstree,
S. C. Also present on the Baruch
plantation was Senator Taft, Re-f
publican, of Ohio.
Senator Byrd told the Richmond
News Leader by telephone today
that the “hunting was very good.”i
He declined to say whether he dis
cussed politics with Senator Taft
and Mr. Baruch, both also noted
for their strong views on Govern
ment economy.
Referring to the overseas em
ployes, Senator Byrd said “it ap
pears there are too many. There
ought to be a thorough investiga
tion to eliminate those that are
unnecessary,” he added.
He cited a report recently pre
pared by the Joint Committee on!
Reduction of Non-essential Fed-1
eral Expenditures, of which he is I
chairman.
The report showed that 27
civilian agencies of the Federal
Government have more than 63,-
000 workers on their regular rolls,
assigned to 88 foreign countries
and six territories and possessions.
Moie than 120.000 civilian em-|
ployes of the Department of De-I
sense were working on six con
tinents, the report showed, plus
213,615 native civilians on other
rolls under Defense Department
jurisdiction.
The committee report was based
on a count taken as of the end
of the fiscal year, last June 30.

Coast Guard Begins
Probe of Ship Sinking
In San Francisco Bay
By th« Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 12.
The Coast Guard today begins an
investigation into the sinking of
the Norwegian motorship Fern
stream after a collision with the
S. S. Hawaiian Rancher in foggy
San Francisco Bay yesterday.
All 53 persons aboard the Fern
stream—42 crew members and 11
passengers—were quickly picked
up after they abandoned ship in
lifeboats.
i A Coast Guard official said the
j collision apparently occurred in
the outbound lane. The Fern
stream was outbound for Manila,
the Rancher inbound from Hawaii
with a sugar cargo for Crockett,
Calif.
The 4,980-ton Fernstream was
sliced open amidships and sank
in 36 minutes.
Capt. William R. Meyer of the
8,350-ton Hawaiian Rancher said
“the radar was in operation, but
there was a lot of traffic in the
bay.”
Capt. Alex Kristensen, 40, of the
sunken ship, made no public
statement. His attorney, Joseph
J. Geary, said:
"I don’t think it was the fault
of those in charge of the Fern
stream.”
