Meeting Of Budwesky,
Council Slated Tonight
On Resignation Report

The Alexandria City Council anc
City Manager Carl Budwesky are
slated to meet tonight for the first
time since the councilmen issued an
ultimatum Saturday ordering Mr.
Budwesky to report to them details
of recent designations or to submit
his own resignation.
The councils ultimatpm was is
sued at a special session Saturday
while Mr.. Budwesky was visiting
relatives in Pennsylvania. 1t ordered
the city manager to furnish a%com-
plete and satisfactory report con-
cerning designations of the police
and fire chiefs by August II or to
submit his own resignation.
Mr.. Budwesky told The Star Sat-
urday night from Pennsylvania he
would supply whatever report the
councilmen wanted as soon as he can
find out what they want to know.
I'm just at a loss to explain what
this is all about" he commented
when told of the councils action.
designations Coincide.
Police Chief John S. Arnold, who
announced his resignation after last
Tuesdays council meeting, said yes
terday he was not aware at the time
he made his resignation known that
Fire Chief James M. Duncan, jr.,
also was resigning.
The two designations were made
public simultaneously in Wednes-
days newspapers.
Police Chief Arnold announced his
intention to quit after his plea to
the councilmen to allow him to wear
uniform at his own discretion was
turned down. The council had
adopted a resolution earlier in the
month ordering the police and fire
chiefs to wear uniforms during the
working day.
Fire Chief Duncan outlined in
his resignation actions he had re-
quested of the councilmen that he
considered necessary to the success
full operation Of his department.
These requests, he noted, never were
granted.
Markham Previously Resigned.
A third resignation made known
at the same time was that of Col.
Edward Markham, who headed the
sanitation and maintenance work
of the Engineering Department.
This resignation, however. had been
submitted in the form of telegram
several days before the police and
fire chief designations. although it
was not made public until last
Wednesday.
The council resolution ordering
Mr.. Budwesky's report also carried
with it an order abolishing the Office
of chief of police and designating
the department be headed by cap
tain of police. 1t was recommended
to the city manager by the council
men that Capt. Edgar A. Sims, who
currently is assistant police chief,
take over the job as captain of police
and head of the department when
Chief Arnold's resignation becomes
effective September /.
1t was recommended by the coun-
cilmen that Chief Arnold and Chief
Duncan be given one-month vaca-
tions with pay during August.
The authority to appoint, dis
charge and accept designations of
the police fire chiefs is delegated to
the city manager in the Alexandria
City Charter.

IT is obvious that the present
session of Congress has defsulted
on its responsibility to enact legis-
lafion which would curb rising
prices" the announcement said.
Earlier this month the national
officers of CIO had declared a
policy of seeking general wage
increases in 1913.
COMPANIES notified of con-
tract reopening include the big
Four & Co., Cudahy
Packing Co., Swift & Co., Wilson
& Co.-John Morren & Co., and
Tobin Packing Co. Contracts with
other independent companies will
be opened depending on the dis
erection of the unions district di-
rectors.
Although the union has not dis
closed the exact amount it will
seek, the demand, rejecting rising
living costs and the total in
adequacy of the packinghouse
workers earnings to cope with
present prices, will be based on a
cost-of-living bonus which will
protect the workers from any fur
ther living cost Increases
Helstein cited a recent survey
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
which indicated that a modest
budget for a family of four would
require an income ranging from
So 900 to $3,458 year, depending
on locality. The BIS study did
not take into consideration price
rises since June, 1947.
=
THESE annual incomes are far
above the yearly earnings most of
the packinghouse workers re-
ceive," Helstein said.
He noted the recent financial
statement by Swift & Co. which
revealed that the company had an
income in 1947 of over $55, zoo, 900
before income taxes. Even after
paying these taxes, the net in
come for Swift exceeded $34,335,-
600.
Although the other Big Four
companies have not released
their l947 financial statements.
the union estimates their total
net income before taxes at more
than $l8l. 100000.
"These fantastic profits give
melancholy testimony on the pay
off Big Business had in mind

price controls" Helstein COM

Body Of Missing

Found
(From The Grundy Starr

A skeleton found in an isolat-

Bland Tazewell line, seems to be
established conclusively as that
of Samuel j. Breeding, who dis
appeared three years ago.
DIR. William Greenspon, OF
Blufield, said that glasses found
with the skeleton conceded in
lens prescription and in every de
tail with pair sold to Mr.. Breed
ing, missing since Sept. 26, 1914.
Breeding left Grundy on that
date and was believed to have
gone squirrel hunting. After he
failed to return, an intensive
search was made. He was 48
years old at that time
Breeding's automobile was 10
Gated a few days after his dis
appearance about four miles
from where the skeleton was
discovered.
Sheriff w. M. Price said a
skull, with what appeared to be
bullet hole in it, was found
about a dozen feet from where
two Richlands deer hunters, vii
liam T. Bounds and Paul Shook,
discovered the skeleton Monday.
The hunters found the remains
near the crest of Chestnut Ridge
in the Poor Valley section.
Price said a rifle found nearby
contained a spent % caliber shell
and along with the glasses was
tentatively identified by. the
missing mans son as belonging
to his father.
The bones and articles found
with them were taken to Bland
by the coroner, who said he
would conduct an inquest.
Breeding was mpolyed as a
salesman by a Roanoke clothing
firm at the time of his disappear
ance.
