His statements and manner today appeared to rule out all these reports. A close aide said: "He really means it." Only last Saturday night, on his arrival in San Francisco, the six- foot-plus governor had been talking almost like a candidate when he told newsmen "no one in the United States could refuse a draft" for the vice presidency. Today he was relaxed, genial and unperturbed wh'en word came down from the hotel's presidential suite five floors overhead that President Virginians Find Familiar Facts In Strange Climate By FRANK H.

FULLER SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22 I The fog that rolls in nightly from the Pacific, to give this city its wonderful climate is strange to a Virginian. But a lot of the facts which come out of it are mighty familiar. One was that of George Taliaferro of Harrisonburg, who with Mrs. Taliaferro and their youngsters, George and Anne Hollis, have been vacationing in Washington, Oregon and California.

Over breakfast coffee George, a Republican member of the Virginia Legislature in 1946-48, said he had jusl dropped in on friends from home attending the Republican National Convention. I told him I was reporting it and had just come from a similar job on the Democratic convention in Chicago. "Know Fred Switzer?" he asked. My answer was that Fred and I have been friends for years. Fred is Democratic national committeeman from Virginia and president of Harrisonburg Telephone.

Said George: "Fred was best man at my wedding and I was best man at his." I told George I wanted him to know Lathan Minis, a former Associated Press writer in North Carolina who has just become general manager of the Harrisonburg News Record. "Sold his house just before starting this vacation," said George. "Fine fellow and we are glad to have folks like him in Harrisonburg." After a day in caucus and in the convention with Virginia delegates, and a late supper, there was a tap on my shoulder at Powell and Post Streets. I turned and looked into the smiling faces of Mr. and Mrs.

Marshall Coggin of Warsaw, Va. Marshall is editor of the Northern Neck News and grandson of W. Y. "Uncle Billy" Morgan, 90-year- old editor emeritus and dean of Virginia journalists. The Coggins are vacationing, too.

The three of us ran into the Taliaferros. "What does your father do. Marshall?" asked George. "He's president of the Tidewater Telephone said Marshall. "Know Rodney 11," said George.

"I'm a director of the telephone company at Harrisonburg." "Howdy folks," said a new arrival out of the fog. It was Richard Simpson of Richmond, United States marshal for Eastern Virgin' ia. Simpson said he was vacationing, too, but was going over to see Alcatraz, the federal prison on an island in the bay. "Sorry I can't invite you," he said. "No visitors allowed there," Gov.

Clement To Go 'All Out' For Demo Slate ETOWAH, Aug. 22 Ht-Gov Frank Clement promised today to go all out to carry Tennessee for Adlai Stevenson and Sen. Estes Kefauver as President and Vice President this fall. At Etowah's golden jubilee celebrates, the governor acknowledged that he and Kefauver belong to different factions of the Democratic Party in Tennessee. Then, he added: "This I do know.

You will find no one who will work harder for Democratic victory this fall if you go from coast to coast. And I predict for Gov. Stevenson and Sen. Kefauver a victory this fall." City Court A Kingsport juvenile appeared before City Court Wednesday morning for speeding. Judge Brantley Blue ordered him to appear in Juvenile Court at 3 p.m.

today. Bond forfeitures included one $15 for speeding, one $3.50 for illegal parking, and one J7, one $4, one $2 and five SI for overtime parking.

PAUL, Aug. 22 Wl-Sam Snead and Tommy Bolt return tomorrow to an old battleground at St. Paul's course, the scene of their memorable and bitter meeting in the 1954 PGA Tournament. With them in the starting field for the $20,000 St. Paul Open will be a swarm of notables like Doug Ford, Julius Boros, Mike Souchak, Fred Haas, Finsterwald But for the galleries the big magnets are Snead, winner of almost 512,000 in prize money over the years at Keller, and Bolt, the 1955 St.

Bolt said it was-distracting to his game. But "he came out of the clubhouse with a crusader's fire and eliminated Sam on the third extra hole.

Bolt eventually lost in the semis. For his part, Snead is content to rely on his remarkably good fortune at Keller, a par 36-36--72 public course. Sam won the Open here in 1937, took the Western Open at Keller in 1949, tied for the St. Paul Open in 1950 only to lose to Jim Ferrier in a playoff, and has finished second once and third once. Va.

Tax System To Be Explained With Tax Bills RICHMOND, Aug. 22 Virginians, who must pay two years' state income tax within a six- month period under the state's new tax acceleration program, will receive printed slips with their tax bills this fall explaining how the program will, work and why it was instituted. State Tax Commissioner C. H. Morrissett said a million of the slips have been printed, telling the taxpayers how the double collection will enable the state to finance "badly needed capital outlays without increasing taxes." 'Procuring the money by changing dates for the payment of taxes seemed to be far preferable to an increase in taxes to raise the same amount of revenue," the memorandum to taxpayrs says.

Though an estimated million dollars in additional funds will be raised in this fiscal year by the change in payment dates, Morrissett has contended it will be of small concern to most taxpayers. Net incomes of 53,000 or less are reported on 79 per cent of the returns and payments in this bracket average S26.59. Couple Hurt In 11-W Wreck A Louisiana man and his wife were admitted to Holston Valley Community Hospital yesterday afternoon following an auto accident on Highway 11-W, about a mile below Church Hill.

Addressing Adlai, Estes Will Meet 150 Demos At Knoxville KNOXVILLE, Aug. 22 VH-Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver will meet an estimated 150 Democratic bigwigs from the South here Aug. 30 to to get Dixie solidly behind the party in November. The meeting is one of eight whirlwind visits planned over the nation as Stevenson, the Democratic presidential nominee, and his Tennessee running dinner meeting at ma te, start on the campaign trail. the Knoll Club, Marsh said: "We in the associations are going to be forced to make pairings in stroke-play tournaments with an eye toward 'watchers' to play with those who don't know how to count.

"It is a tragic thing, but We have to face it. Golf has spread tremendously in recent years and has reached those without the moral fibre to be honest with themselves." Marsh said a young golfer told him he was giving up competitive golf "because I can't stand the cheating." The youngster, according to Marsh, walked down the fairway an older man in a qualifying round of a recent tourney and older player said: "Don't worry, sonny, we're going to qualify with 75s." Marsh said the youngster quit: after nine holes when his insisted on giving himself a four on which he scored a six. John Sharon, administrative assistant to James Finnegan, Stevenson's campaign manager, told the Knoxville Journal tonight from Chicago: "We have been very pleased with the enthusiasm shown in the replies to the invitations today. We've had a flood of wires at headquarters accepting invitations to attend the conference in your city." a Ten southern states are to be represented, Sharon said.

By FRANK H. FULLER SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22 Wl-Virginia delegates welcomed the news today that Harold Stassen had ceased his "dump Nixon" efforts. "It is an extra good move on his part --he has found out that people everywhere in the country are for Nixon 'as vice president," said Joe Parsons of Independence, chairman of the Virginia delegation to the Republican National Convention. "The more unity we can get in the party the better it will be for all our candidates, and I am glad he now feels that way about it." Ted Dalton of Radlord.

Virginia's GOP national committeeman, said he was "delighted to see unanimity and feels it will be helpful to have no party strife In the nominations." "I am sure," said Dalton, "that we have a ticket which will be as acceptable to the people as It was in 1952." Mrs. Cynthia Zimmerman of McLean, the state's new committccwoman, said that in the! long run she believed the fight made by Stassen had been helpful because "it has shown Nixon's strength." Col. Albert Hinckley of Orlean echoed Joe Parsons' words but said he regretted Stassen had made the fight "although it probably strengthened Nixon." Hinckley said he withdrew as a candidate for national yesterday after he found Dalton wanted the job. He said he hoped Dalton would make another race for governor. Hinckley said he would like very much to represent Virginia on the national committee hut did not want to contest it with Dalton.

The delegation's planned visit to Nixon's headquarters was put off after the vice president left for Whittler and the bedside of his ailing father.
