citation last night indorsed the
stand taken by its president,
James S. McMullen in his recent

should take over"
The association, as part of its

Falls Church Council
Asks McCau|ey 10
Withdraw Resignation
CIerk-Treosurer Says
He Is Undecided on
Reconsiderine Step

The Falls Church Town Council
has adopted a resolution requesting
John McCauley, clerk-treasurer of
the town, to withdraw the resigna-
tion he submitted at a recent meet
ing after sharp attack by Coun-
Gilman Fred Hess.
Mr.. McCauley, who has been
clerk-treasurer for three years, said
today he has not yet received the
resolution and did not know wheth-
er he would reconsider his action.
He added, however, that he would
continue his duties for two or three
days until he reached a decision.
The Councils resolution, which
was approved with only one dis
senting vote-that of Councilman
Hess-praised Mr.. McCauley's work
and urged him to remain as the
towns chief administrative officer.
Mr.. McCauley submitted his
resignation at the close OF a meet
ing in which Mr.. Hess had listed a
series of complaints against him,
some of which, he said, came from
citizens whose names be refused to
divulge.
Mr.. Hess charged that the towns
office force is overstaffed, that SAL
aries of all town employees have
been unduly increased, that Mr..
McCauley's salary should be re-
duced, since H. T. Payne has been
assigned to assist the clerk treasurer
in the overseeing of the towns sewer
and road employees. He also asserted
that a new employe was granted a
Christmas vacation with pay and
that town workmen waste time
going to and coming from work.
At that time, Mayor M. H Haertel
declared that the anonymous COM
plants were based on lack of in
formation and were too trivial to
take up the time of the Council. He
pointed out that the towns popula-
tion has doubled in a short period.
with corresponding increases In
services rendered. Councilman j, H.
Mccarthy stated that Mr.. Hess
could best answer such complaints
by making public a copy of the an
nual auditors report and the month
" financial statements drawn up
by the bookkeeper.

District Commissioners on all mat
tiers involving the urban redevelop-
ment bill, designed as a postwar

SPORTS
PARADE
By JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, July Is. tUP)-
Gunder Hagg and Arne Anderson,
the mercurial Swedes who raced
again Friday night before 10000
fans at Stockholm, Sweden, may be
nudging the dream four-minuto
mile before they complete their
foot-racing duels in October.
Anderson achieved an upset VIC
tory Friday night over Gunder the
Wonder in Stockholm stadium. Hu
was clicked in 3:48.4 as he outran
the great Hagg in the 1860 meters
the metric mile. But this winning
time was compar lively slow
against the 3:43 registered by Hagg
in winning their first 150O-meter
test, at Gothenburg, Sweden, a
week ago last night.
SPEED INDICATOR
That 3:43 of Hagg's is considered
the indicator of a four-minute mile
Jesse Abramson of the New York
Herald Tribune, Americas out
standing track and fild writer
emphasizes that the traditional
time difference for the 20 yards be-
tween 1900 meters and the mile run
is approximately II seconds. Add
II seconds to 343 and you get tho
four-minute mile Abramson adds,
however, that this is only an ap-
Proclamation which figures that
Hagg was travelling at the rate of
7.35 yards a second-which incor-
rectly indicates that Hagg would
have covered the remaining dis
lance from 1900 meters to the mile
in 1853 seconds.
Abramson points out that-re-
gardless of the attractivenesS OF
such figures-they are essentially
false because the actual time diff
ference for the 1900 meters and the
mile is a bit more-at least 17.6
seconds.
COMES CLOSE
Hagg, himself, came close to the
four-minute mile when he ran in
Harvard stadium last July. He was
clicked in 3:48.8 at 1900 meters,
for an American record, en- route to
his 4:05.4 for another American
mile record. He covered the differ
entail distance in It's. But he still
was much farther away from the
minute mile than the 4:02.6
world record for the mile registered
last year by Anderson.
Hagg's 17.6 for the differential
indicates that the time gap Is
closer to Is seconds than II. How
ever, the fact that Anderson
presses Hagg, and vice versa, in
their 150O-mtter clashes, which will
develop into full mile runs indicates
that both will be going all out
through the 1900 and through the
remaining 120-yard gap. This might
bring them close to four minutes
for the mile.

Along
By RUSSELL ANNABEL

SEATTLE, July Is. CUP)-Going
into battle amt what it used to be-
assert the shell-back old-timers
who are riding American warships
into action in the Pacific.
In the old days you simply sweat
ed out the long approach before a
strike, but nowadays they've got
some new methods for keeping the
navy kids on their toes physically
and mentally that take most OF the
tension out of the grim period be-
fore battle stations are called and
the big guns start talking.
For instance, basketball.
They play it on the we'll decks
of the new ships, and officers and
men tell you it is swell thing.
They tell you that after a stiff
game and a shower you feel like a
new man, and that the effect of
this shows up to a startling degree
in their efficiency in combat.
OF course, basketball played on
a pitching ship with gind blowing
spindrift over the steel decks is
plenty different from playing on a
court, but the kids manage it all
right, and they lose surprisingly
few balls over the side.
The ships chaplain usually SUI
pervises the playing, and the audi
ence includes everybody not on
watch-from the admiral himself
to the newest seasick boot. There
aren't any prizes, but the chap
lains make up for this. After the
action has been completed and the
ship has returned to her base, the
Holy Joe, as the boys call him, takes
the players ashore for free beer
bust-everything 'on the house, or
rather on the ship.
Nothing" said a veteran bos'n
happily, ever happened like this
