KELLEY | O.SES
FIGHT FOR JOB

Lyman M. Kelley, former chair
man of the Arlington County
Board of Supervisors, yesterday
lost his fight for reinstatement
when the Virginia State Supreme
Court denied a writ of mandamus
suspending the custer order.
Mr.. Kelley, who was tried on
charges of malfeasance in office,
had asked the high court to take
up his writ as soon as possible so
that he might return to his Of
ficial duties at once if the writ
was granted.
With the writ denied, his attor.
neys are now seeking to have the
judgment vacated and a new trial
ordered.
Kelley was indicted by a
special grand jury last summer
for malfeasance, miSteasance
and "gross neglect of duty" in
connection with bribes allegedly
received for county contracts.
He was later found guilty on two
of six counts.
Judge Frederick Coleman re.
fused to set aside the verdictS.

COUNTY OPENS
FUNDS DRIVE

Arlington County's Welfare
Board has officially opened its
annual drive for funds, according
to an announcement made yes
terday by Mrs. Mae E. Jacobs,
superintendent.
The drive this year, it was
stated in a letter which is being
mailed to all residents of the
county, will be conducted with
the idea of immediate receipt of
funds in mind in view of the fact
that the money paid in on
pledges last year is almost en-
tirely gone and will be quite in
sufficient to last very far into the
winter without repleniShing.
At the same time it was
pointed out that Arlington
county's drive has absolutely no
connection with the washington
Community Chest and, therefore,
Government workers who reside in
Arlington county are urged to
make their contributions to their
own community charity rather
than to a District of Columbia
agency. In this way, welfare Of
ficialS contend, and in this way
only will they be certain that
their contributions will BE- used
for direct relief in Arlington
county.

FACE DELAY

Opening of the hearings before
the special Senate District sub
committee appointed to study po'
tential reorganization of the Dis.
trict government apparently will
be delayed until after the first OF
next month.
This became evident today
when it was learned from the
office of Senator Thomas P. Gore
CD, of Oklahoma, chairman OF
the special subcommittee, that he
will not return to the city until
sometime after December /.
Only One Here
During the summer, when the
Oklahoma Senator was in Wash,
ington studying the background
of the local government structure,
he indicated that the hearings
would begin shortly after the
elections. However, only one
member Of the subcommittee
Senator Robert r. Reynolds CD,
of North Cardinals in the Capi,
tai now.
Senator William H. King (D),
Of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, has asserted
that he will confer with the Okla.
homa Senator concerning the re-
organization study as soon as
Senator Gore returns to this city
with a view to getting the inquiry
going as soon as possible.
No doubt there will be a large
number of changes in the local
government suggested during the
hearings, but it is indicated that
the District government heads
themselves will not make any
drastic recommendations.
Changes Proposed
This is anticipated in view OF
the statement issued this summer
by Daniel j. Donovan, District
auditor, to the effect that he be
lieved the present structure is
working satisfactorily. It was
the opinion of those familiar with
the situation that Mr.. Donovan
was voicing the views of the Dis
trict Commissioners.
The District auditors state
ment was made shortly after il
was revealed that William j
Roberts, peoples counsel, per
sonally believes that drastic al
terations and consultations should
be affected in the present Setur
Of the District government.

County Democrats
To Rule Patronage

Governor-elect Harry w. Nice's
patronage advisors in Prince
Georges county will recognize the
recommendations Of the Demo
cratic central committee in
minority appointments, declares
j. Wilson Ryon, of Hyattsville.
This gesture of good will was
not followed strictly by the Demo.
Gratis when they were in control,
it was said, but will be the
policy of the Republicans. This
gives the Democrats official ap-
pointmentS to the Board of
Election Supervisors, Liquor
Board, School Board, and others
that might have been filled with
Republican sympathizers affiliated
as Democrats,
