Dearie's Certifi cation Assured The State Board of Elections has the power to go behind county primary returns to correct frau dulent and illegal ballots, the Su preme Court ruled yesterday in an opinion apparently assuring C. B. Deane of Rockingham the eighth district Democratic nomin ation for Congress jover W. O. Burgin of Lexington. Holding that Judge W. C. Har ris erred in granting Burgin a writ of mandamus forcing the State board to certify him as the nominee, the high t<ribunal also declared the Deane certification invalid because no "legal" returns from Richmond and Davidson Counties exists, but the way was cleared for legal certification of the Richmond County man. Amended at t'he direction of the State board, returns from the two counties were signed by two members of the county boards and supposedly without the knowledge of t'he third member. Calling Board Meetings The State board is expected im mediately to call the county boards into session and compel certifica tion of returns identical witto those that gave Deane a 23-vote ma jority over Burgin, who led by 7 5 votes in original returns from the July 2 runoff. 4 TO PURCHASE COTTON The Federal Surplus Commod ties Corporation has been author ized to purchase up to 50,000 bal es of raw (jotton and up to 14,000, 000 yards of cotton fabric to be donated to welfare agencies in various states for making mat tresses and comforters for relief, families.
