Harry F. Byrd Jr says Cary’s claim that his father sent him to pressure Cary to back the Coleman amendment is baseless. Byrd recounts visiting Cary in 1938 at the request of Senator Aubrey Weaver to discuss public matters, not to influence Cary’s vote. Cary’s open letter, endorsing Martin Hutchinson over Byrd, repeats the charge.

Will of Lester Ruffner Declared Void By Judge Bertram
In Page county Virginia Judge H W Bertram nullified the will of Lester Ruffner longtime Communist Party leader in Virginia. The document had left the estate to the Virginia Communist Party and provided a monthly $20 for his widow Lucy Ruffner who would receive the livestock. The judge ruled Ruffner's widow is entitled to dower rights under Virginia law and thus one third of the real estate or life use of all property. Ruffner died January 10 and left no children. The will named Alic Burk and Daniel Kibler as trustees for the party and included a residence provision for a loyal Communist leader to live there and a plan to honor the home as the house by the side of the road.
