Says:

Wonder If the American
Legion will have any success
in their nationwide drive to
divorce" the police depart
ments from politics?. Those
politicians have always be-
lieved that the "twO can live
cheaper than one"
In order to bring this about,
the Legion believes that the
police should be run on the
merit" system Heretofore,
about the only reward a cop
got for merit was a golden
harp.
They also contend that law
enforcement would move faster
If we had more criminal
judges. II imagine we have
enough already, but we can't
prove anything on them.
so REMEMBER:

the District in line with the
Presidents program of social in.
surance was under study today by

the measures.
In addition to appropriation bills

COUNTY PLANS
FAIRGROUNDS
AND PARKS

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Sept. 27.-Definite steps
toward development Of the most
extensive improvement program
ever undertaken in Arlington
county were taken here last night
as the newly organized Planning
Commission met for the first time
with planning officials from Wash
ington and Richmond.
County, Board and Planning
Commission members agreed that
the services Of an expert planner
are vitality needed to direct the
program.
Foremost among the problems
to be studied will be develop
ment Of playground and park
facilities to serve the rapidly in
creasing population Of the county.
1t was pointed out that even
now some sections Of the county
were so thickly built up that it
would be a costly undertaking to
provide playground space.
Warning that the county must
take immediate action toward
securing property that later may
be developed into Fairgrounds
and parks was sounded by John
Nolan, jr., director of planning
for the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
County Manager Roy S. Braden
suggested that the county should
have a full-time director for this
work and added that he thought
the present personnel of engineers
and craftsmen employed by the
county could do the detail work
under the direction Of an expert.
