In Quitting Post
In Alexandra
Spot Legislation
&c And Interference
:. Charged in Letter

Charges that Alexandria is gov
erned by chameleon council
were made in the letter of resigna-
ton of City Recreation Director
Alan L. He'll, 1T was revealed yes
terday.
Mr.. He'll, who has held the recre-
alton post for three years, submit
ted his resignation Friday to City
Manager Carl Budwesky, effective
October 80. Mr.. Budwesky said
yesterday that he "deplores the Joss
OF Mr.. He'll who has done an excel
lent job"
Mr.. He'll was deferred from mil
itary service after members of the
Teen Age Club, which he founded
petitioned the late President Roose-
velt requesting he be permitted to
remain in Alexandria. The Alex
andria Council of Parent Teacher
Associations and Council of Social
Agencies sent a similar petition to
the State Selective Service director
Innuendoes Charged.
In his letter, Mr.: He'll said he
was sure he could remain in his
job "if Alexandria had a pure city
manager form of government in
stead of spot legislation and ad-
ministrative interferences by a
chameleon council ''*
Recent action by City Council
denying me 10 per cent increase
In salary climaxed a series of petty
political innuendoes by Councilmen
Tulloch and Delaney that I, as a
professionally trained recreation
executive, cannot tolerate" Mr.
Heil's letter stated.
The council action to which He'll
referred apparently was a motion
made at a meeting several weeks
ago by Councilman Paul L. Delaney
and seconded by Councilman John
w. Tulloch, to increase salaries of
seven full-time and one part-time
recreation department employees by
10 per cent. The motion, subsequent
ly passed by council, specifically
excluded He'll.
Action Explained.
Mr.. Tulloch said yesterday he
felt that increases in the salaries
of department heads should be
made when the annual budget is
considered and not during the year
and that was why he voted against
an increase for Mr.. He'll. Mr.. Tul-
loch added he thought that Ma
He'll has done nice job as recrea-
tion director"
Mr.. Tulloch also said he had re-
ceived letter dated September 18
from Mr.. He'll in which the latter
thanked him for the many favors
he had received from the coun-
Gilman.
Since taking the recreation direc-
tors post, Mr.. He'll has initiated
comprehensive 'teen-age program,
including establishment of the
Teen-Age Club which now lists a
membership of 900. Mr.. He'll, a
graduate Of Depaum University,
served as recreation director of
Danville, Va, prior to coming to
Alexandria. He is president of the
Virginia Recreation Association:
Mr.. He'll said he had received
another offer from a city in New
Jersey.

OUTDOORS

All week the Potomac has been In
excellent shape and those seeking
hickory shad have had a superlative
sport. According to one old-timer
1t is the best season ever. White
shad entered the Susquehanna last
week and are expected up the Po-
tomac any day. Few pan rock have
been caught. Occasional herring
rollers Of good size are taken nearly
every day, but pan rock apparently
are still on the way. Perch fishing
continues excellent insofar as num-
bers are concerned, but the fish
are mostly small. Cut herring and
shadgut are Turing some sizable cat
fish.
| The first hardhead are showing
up in the Chesapeake and In the
Patuxent. We understand they have
arrived on a big scale in the Ronga
River and last week end some were
caught off Benedict. The fish are
in shallow water, their habit at this
season, and there is no use in seek
ing them in water deeper than 10
feet until the weather warns. Row.
boat fishermen are having their in
nings. They usually fish In the shall
lower water. The axiom of keeping
quiet while fishing strictly applies
to this early run of hardhead. Talk
all you want, but don't bang the
boat with your tackle box, splash

noise that will set up vibrations In

Scratch Sheet Possession

Sgt. Ogle's constant reference to
Armstrong sheets apparently
stretched Judge McMahon's knowl-
edge of horse betting language to
the limit.
IF you mean scratch sheets when
you say Armstrong Sheets well, say
scratch Sheets" he told the officers
The charges were dismissed on the
grounds that the two officers made
an illegal entry and an illegal search
of Mr.. Samaha's apartment.
Samaha, who was discharged from
the Army recently after long over
seas duty. had been ordered to ap-
pear in court by Judge Mcmahon
after he forfeited $50 collateral on
March %, when he failed to appear
for hearing of the case.

Chapman RefusesD.C,
Operation Of Pools

Undersecretary of the Interior
Chapman, in a letter to the Com
missioners, today turned down bid
BY the District Recreation Board to
take control of certain public SWIM
ming pools in the city from Gov
eminent Services Inc.
The pools, which belong to Ma
tional Park Service. have been
leased to Government services un-
der flve-year contract which comes
up this year for renewal. The cor
poration operates most of the cafe
terias in Government buildings and
the tourist camp in East Potomac
Park.
The Recreation Board took the
view that the legislation which
created the board contemplated op-
Grafton of the pools by the board
when the contract with the cor
poration expired.
On March 10 the Commissioners
wrote Mr.. Chapman asking that the
contract for the swimming pools not
be renewed until the Recreation
Board had an opportunity to discuss
the matter with Mr.. Chapman. Mr..
Chapman told the Commissioners
he felt the corporation bad faith
fully" discharged its contract obli-
cation and that he was recommend
ing renewal for another five years.
Pools operated by the corporation
are the Banneker, Francis, Takoma,
Anacostia. Mckinley -Eckington and
East Potomac Park pools. Mr. Chap
man said. however. that his depart
ment would welcome a statement
from the board outlining the type of
recreatlonal program the board
would consider adequate in facili-
ties under the jurisdiction of the
park service.
He suggested enumerating changes
in operating procedure necessary to
make such program possible and
said he was anxious to cooperate
with the board in obtaining maxi
mum benefit for the public from
the swimming pools He promised
immediate consideration of such a
program.

Seven hundred machinists worked
their last day at the Naval Gun
Factory today.
Meanwhile, 500 Office workers will
be dropped from the rolls of the
factory by May 30. it was officially
announced. In addition, 48O other
skilled tradesmen have received
their notices and will have been sep
arated by May II.
No veterans with civil service
status are among the 500 Office
workers to be separated, a spokes-
man said. A few veterans without
civil service status are included, 1t
was added, but they will be offered
employment in other naval activi-
ties.
The factory is being crippled
through the replacement of compe-
tent mechanics with long service
by inexperienced former service
men, under provisions of the Vet
erans' Preference Act, he said,
adding that the remedy is restora-
ton of the $4,000, 100000 cut in the
naval appropriation to keep the
factory strong for national defense.
Contrasted with the war peak of
5000 machinists at the factory, the
number has now slumped to 1859
and an additional considerable re-
duction is in prospect before the
end of the year, Mr.. Mosiniak de-
clared. In addition, ITO machinists,
war veterans, are entitled to return
to their jobs, but have not yet re-
quested unemployment, he ex-
planned. If they come back, "it is
feared that there will scarcely be
