DAILY PRESS, Newport News, Thursday, October 30,11952 Murphy Lists Reasons Why He Can't Support Stevenson Richmond, Oct. W. Tayloe Murphy of Warsaw told a three-station radio audience tonight that he personally recommend to my friends and constituents the candidacy of Gov. Murphy is one of the Democratic electors on the presidential ballot. Another elector, E.

M. Jones of in the day that the fact he is an elecRappahannock County, said earlier tor does not mean he endorses what he called the "Truman-Stevenson candidacy." Murphy, speaking over a Richmond station with a hookup into Roanoke and Harrisonburg, indicated he would support Stevenson as an elector should Virginia line up behind the Democratic nominee next week. shall discharge completely every obligation imposed upon me, both by the Constitution and by precedent as a presidential elector," he said. So far as is known, no Virginia attorney-general has ruled specifically on the question of whether a presidential elector must vote in the electoral college for his party's candidate. But Murphy's wording implied he would go along with the Democratic ticket if necessary in the electoral college formalities in December.

Declaring that the listing of his name as an elector "has been construed by many of my constituents and friends to mean that am in wholehearted accord with the national platform and the legislation advocated by Gov. Stevenson," Murphy added: "Nothing could be further from the truth." Immediately after Murphy's broadcast, Blake T. Newton, president of the State Education Board, took to the air to denounce the Warsaw delegate for his stand. Broadcasting over the same three stations, Newton said he was "astonished and shocked" to learn that Murphy is "not going to support the Democratic Party." Newton said Northern Neck residents "are shocked beyond at Murphy's "political somersault" and added that "up to now we considered him a loyal Democrat." Added Newton: "You cannot vote for the Republican candidate on the Democratic ticket. Either you are a Democrat or you are a Republican.

You can't be both at one and the same time, and if you are for the Republican candidate, you are opposing and injuring the Democratic Party. Murphy recalled that he was chosen as an elector at the State Democratic Convention in Roanoke before the national party convention was held. At that time, he said, it was hoped the national party would present candidates and platform subscribing "to the basic principles of government which have been held by most Virginians to be sound." But these hopes, added Murphy, were in vain. "It became apparent to every thinking person that Gov. Stevenson was the swinging further and further to left," he said.

"It became crystal clear that Gov. Stevenson's intellectual independence was yielding to the relentless pressure of President Truman and the Americans for Democratic Action, with whom he had surrendered himself. Labor Day, Gov. statements kept ringing in my ears: compulsory Federal FEPC- outright dent to change the rules of repeal Taft-Hartley Act--Presipressure the Senate- -and over all of these commitments, Trumanism casts its evil, Murphy shadow. paid for the broadcast himself.

At 17 he joined the Navy and after serving a two-year stretch he arrived in Newport News April 4, 1904.

He got a job as a plumber in the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. where he worked until Feb. 11, 1905. From 1905 to 1906 he was employed by W. G.

Morris of Phoebus, and from 1906 to 1915 he worked for the Newport News Contracting and Engineering Co. During his last four years with that firm he was vice president. In February, 1915, Mr. Noland and T. B.

WAS COUNCILMAN He was a member of the first city council of Newport News under the reorganized government in 1920.

He served as the Peninsula's representative in the State Senate during the session of 1944, 1946, 1948, and 1950. In 1951 he decided not to seek reelection. Even during his first sessions at the General Assembly he was bothered by the illness which cause his death yesterday, and he sometimes attended to his Senatorial duties under difficulty. In 1946 he began spending his Winters in Tucson, first at the Arizonan and the Pioneer inns, and later in a home which he purchased there. An ardent sportsman, Mr.

Noland was a part owner of a game preserve and hunting lodge on Hog Island, and he was an enthusiastic yachtsman. He became president of the James River Country Club before he had ever played a game of golf but later became an enthusiast of the game.

He was generally described as simple in dress and habits, and friendly in manner. He was widely praised for his generous and liberal treatment of employes. HAD MANY SUCCESSES Mr.

Noland's business acumen, willingness to take a risk, capacity for detail and alertness to opportunity carried him to many successes and with him those with whom he associated himself. The growth of the Noland Company organization from a single, small, local establishment into a multi-million dollars enterprise with branches all over the South and in Washington is the most conspicuous. But there were nourish others too that he could find time to and lead. In the early 1930's he took over the distressed assets of the Biggs Antique Company, a reputable Richmond firm in financial difficulties. Today Biggs is one of the largest and strongest of its sort in the South.

About the same time the controlling interest in the Richmond Hotels Corporation, owners of three of Richmond's principal hotels, was for sale by reason of the liquidation of the assets of the American Bank and Trust Company of Richmond. Mr. Noland, without experience at hotel management or operation, took over the properties, obligating himself for hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Noland talent for management in a short period of time put the hotels on a sound financial basis. Subsequently he added Murphy's Hotel to the chain, another old and well known Richmond hostelry.

All have prospered. He took over the assets and liabilities of the Hotel Chamberlin at Old Point after that property had gone through several liquidations and the hands of many managements, none successful. His -leadership brought this added property, value too, to financial health and to the business community, GAINED LOYALTY Mr. Noland's native talen for leadership gained for him an uncommon loyalty in those around him. But he expected from others a measure of work and energy equal to that that he invested himself and would brook no laggardness, in either associates or employees.

For the efforts and results that he demanded and received he rewarded those in his organizations generously and liberally. No year went by that there was not a distribution of bonuses based upon the results of the year's operations. In few business establishments were working conditions and earnings based upon efforts higher than in his. His leadership in community matters extended in many directions, the most significant of which were never publicly known. His own personal leadership was responsible for securing subscriptions to underwrite with cash the shrunken and threatened assets of the Schmelz National Bank when in the early 1930's a nAtional economic collapse threatened to carry the local banks with it.

The results of his leadership enabled the First National Bank to assume the obligations of the Schmelz Bank and probably saved the closing of every bank in Newport News. As matters turned out, not a single depositor in any Newport News bank suffered the loss of a single dollar. During the same period, Mr. Noland organized and directed and contributed heavily to an organization set up to relieve the distress to hundreds of local families as a consequence of unemployment. His benefactions, unobtrusively made, extended in many directions, to individuals in great numbers as well as to organizations.

He made possible per manenity valuable additions to several local churches and, as well, was both personally, and as a leader, responsible principally for the improvement and 1 enlargement to, its present status of Riverside Hospital.
