E Ralph James of Hampton commander of the Virginia American Legion expresses regret that Governor Price vetoed the Heller Americanism bill. He says the veto nullifies the will of Virginians as expressed by their representatives and aids agitators seeking to undermine the American form of government. The bill would bar advocacy of overthrow by force and require building custodians to deny access to such advocates.
