Candidate Addresses
Local Jaycee Meeting

By ERIC SCHLESS

Speaking before the
Charlottesville Jaycees,
independent candidate for the
U.S. Senate Horace "Hunk"
Henderson proposed the
implementation of a "National
Development Act" so that
America might "eradicate
slums, build houses, provide
hospitals and adequate schools,
clean up pollution and
establish mass transportation
for the people of America."

While pointing out that one
third of America lives in
substandard housing, the
ex-Republican businessman
from Virginia Beach expressed
disgust at an administration
that could spend so much on
the war in Vietnam, and at the
same time "postpone facing up
to the reality of the critical
domestic problems of the
people of America."

Funding for the National
Development should come,
according to Mr. Henderson,
from the eighty billion dollar
per year "non-productive
military defense programs."

Mr. Henderson, who has
been a member of UNESCO,
