Chinquapin Residents
Accept New Rental
Scale, Ending Dispute
Torpedo Plant Employees
Given Reduction, but
Must Pay for Utilities
By q Staff Correspondent of The Star

By stan correspondent ol 4Ac Ctai'
ALEXANDRIA, Va, Sept. s.
Residents of Chinquapin Village, the
Navy's low-cost housing project fol
torpedo plant employees, agreed to
a new rental scale last night and
brought to an end controversy
that has continued for about
month.
Ballots were counted last night
which were cast at special meeting
Wednesday night. They showed a
majority of the residents are willing
to accept a reduction in the rent
and make an additional payment for
public utility services under plan
worked out by the Bureau of Yards
and Docks which became effective
Monday.
The new schedule provides for
the rental of one-bedroom units for
s25 plus $3.50 monthly for utilities
two-room units for $50 plus $500
monthly for utilities, and three
room units for S35 plus $3.50 monthly
for utilities.
The utilities include light, heat,
gas and water. A previous plan
under which charges ranged from
$500 to s12 monthly for utilities
was rejected.

300 in Suburbs
Agree 10 Fight
StreetRendming
Legal Action Plonned
Attacking Authority
To Alter Designations

About 300 residents of Hyattsville,
Md, and vicinity last night agreed
to take legal action against the
Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to prohibit the
further remaining of streets in the
Metropolitan Area.
Harry H. Jackson, town commits
sioner of Cottage City, was elected
chairman of the group and M. H. e.
Hoffman of HyattSville was selected
as secretary to carry on the efforts
opposing the remaining.
Another meeting will be held at
8 pm. Tuesday in the Office of j.
Frank Lillard at Hyattsville to select
executive and finance committees
and to decide a definite course of
legal action.
1t was indicated that Mr.. Lillard
and Robert w. Mccullough will be
retained as legal counsel
Both outlined two possible courses
to follow: One would be to attack
the legality of the 1889 act of the
General Assembly authorizing the
commission to rename the streets
which was passed as an emergency
measure and therefore precluded the
possibility of referendum by the
citizens, and the second course would
be to attack the entire commission
setup on constitutional grounds, it
was stated.
The commission has recently re-
named streets in the metropolitan
area to correspond with Washing
ton thoroughfare designations. OBJ
lection to the changes has been
raised by some citizens because they
believe the new names would create
more confusion and lose the identity
of the towns.

Carretta Not 10 Run
0nIndependentT Ticket
For Arlington Board
Expects to Organize
Voters League, However,
To Support Candidates

Plans for organization of an
independent voters league in Ar
lington County, Va, were announced
today by Albert A. Carretta, who
declared he has decided not to
enter the race this year as an
independent candidate for the
County Board.
In order to organize the public
demand for non-partisan County
Board elections, l plan to an
nounce shortly the formation of a
countrywide independent voters
league, the purpose of which shall
be to support only independent cam
didates for local Office" Mr.. Car
retta said.
He expressed his appreciation to
"the many people who signed pc
titions urging my candidacy" for the
board.
Little Chance for Independent.
I'm making my decision not to
be a candidate" Mr.. Carretta said,
Il carefully analyzed all of the
factors involved and then arrived
at the conclusion that because of
the two-party system prevalent in
the county an independent candi-
date has very little chance of being
elected to local office.
Furthermore, my firm convic-
ton, which is supported by recent
findings of the BrookingS Institution
in its study of the government of
Montgomery County, Md, is that
elections to the county board should
be on a nonpartisan basis. My
reason for this is based especially
upon the fact that a majority of
Arlington residents are either Fed
eral employees or are members of
the families of Federal employees.
The Hatch Act and the regulations
of the Civil Service Commission
now prohibit these people from
participating in local partisan pol
itics. Regardless of how good or
how bad party candidate may be,
no Federal employe may publicly
work for or against such candi-
date.
Consequently as long as our
board members are elected as rep
reSentativeS of political party
the thousands of Federal employees
residing in Arlington County are
thus disfranchised. The government
which results, therefore, is gov
ernment by the minority. This
should be corrected"
May Participate in League.
Mr.. Carretta said Federal en-
ployes would be free to participate
in the proposed Independent Voters
League. He said he has received a
letter from the Civil Service Com
mission which says in part:
Federal employees residing in Ar
lington County, Va, may organize
as group for the purpose of sup
porting an independent candidate
for local office" -
The proposed league, he added,
will not be limited in membership
to Federal employees but will be
open to all registered voters In the
county.

The philadelphia story" about
Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis
is this: Bomber Joe looked unex-

good, thus causing Challenger Billy
Conn's stock to rise several points.
Louis knocked out Gus Dorazio
last night in the second round be-
fore 1902 cash customers at Con-
vention Hall, setting a record for
indoor boxing crowds in Philadel-
phia and a similar record for the
S57,552 gate.
When the Brown Bomber achieved
his 14th successful title defense at
1:30 of the second round, he sur
prised most experts who had fig
ured that the squat, dark haired
Philadelphia challenger would last
at least three or four sessions.
But the champions showing, be-
fore this kayo, was so questionable
particularly in the first round
that some of the most practical men
IN the fight mob called it brutal" ;"
Even Louis co managers, Julian
Black and John Roxborough, were
apologetic.
Louis revealed in this historic first
cound that he no longer had the

There is one group of baseball 'old
