Family of Six Left Homeless by House Fire
A family of six lost their Route 600 home near Hayfield after a daytime fire likely sparked by an oil stove reigniting when power returned. Winds fanned the flames, destroying most of the two-story 12 room house while the kitchen and an upstairs room survived. The Schreck family, not sure of insurance, spent the night in their car as Round Hill Fire Company appealed for clothing and household donations.

Stephens Withdrawal Expected From Virginia Primary
Richmond observers report Lt. Gov. A E Stephens likely to withdraw from the July 11 primary leaving Atty. Gen. Albertis S Harrison Jr. unopposed for now. A moderate candidate may run for lieutenant governor against Mills E Godwin Jr as supporters of E Blackburn Moore push to secure his reelection as Speaker. Stephens’s low-key, non headquarters approach at the Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner contrasts with an all-out campaign pattern.

JFK Seeks Upturn to Limit Budget Deficit
President Kennedy told leading Democrats he expects an economic upturn to trim next year’s deficit to about 1.5 billion dollars. Current-year shortfall is seen at 1.5 billion, not the 79 million surplus Eisenhower predicted. Officials say a revenue boost depends on faster business gains midyear, while Congress shows reluctance to approve tax or rate hikes this year.
