As 1t Marks 10th Birthday

President Truman yesterday con-
graduated the residents Of Green
belt as they celebrated the 10th
anniversary Of the Government
project in nearby Maryland.
President Truman declared, "It's
too bad the story OF Greenbelt is
not better known. We all recall
the ridicule that was heaped on
the enterprise when it was started" !"
Greenbelt's $500 youngsters re-
ceived an unexpected invitation to
attend a college football game
The invitation was extended by
DR.. II. G. Byrd, president of Mary
land University, who said that when
his school finally gets q new athletic
stadium, II am going to have every
kid in Greenbelt out to see a foot
ball game"
DR.. Byrd was one of several speak
ers who congratulated some 5000
celebrants on their towns ami

it questioned the qualifications of
candidates for the committee to be
elected in Tuesdays primary.
Nevertheless, the organization has
strengthened itself in other popular
moves. At the request of progress
sive"' citizens it obtained passage of
legislation permitting voters to elect
the school board.
This law, as well as any other
dealing with elections, even though
local in application, was a ticklish
thing to handle In Richmond be-
cause the Democratic General As
sembly is extremely reluctant to set
precedents that may spread to other
communities and lessen the party's
State control. Unquestionably the
bill would have been killed in COM
mittee" had not the organizations
legislators shown genuine interest
in having 1t passed.
Agreement Recalled.
The Democrats, along with the
Republicans. also have agreed to re-
frain from nominating candidates
for the County Board election this
fall. thus permitting non-partisan
contest. The effect of this is to
give many "progessives," who
might otherwise be prevented by the
Hatch Act from doing so, to run
for election on the local governing
body. The same principle has been
approved with respect to the School
Board election.

sor resolution calling for appoint
ment Of all department heads by
the city manager.
Appointed BY Council
The city engineer and the health

tions within the local government

In a letter Of resignation, Mr.

''in fact, and not in name only" He
long had contended that the divi-
sion Of authority between the
council and his Office had interfered
with efficiency.
Mayor william T. wilkins opened
yesterdays council session with the
announcement that he and Col
Hellmuth had requested the resig-
nation Of Mr.. Budwesky Friday

In accepting the temporary ap-
pointment as city manager, Mr.

Mr.. Pancoast said, II am lawyer
and prefer that type of work. There
are a great many complications that
make the Office of city manager
difficult at this time"
The council appointed a commit
tee consisting Of Mayor Wilkins,
John Ewa1d and Col. Helmuth to
find q permanent city manager.
In accepting Mr.. Budwesky's s

Carretta Wins Order
For Arlington Police
To Remove P|acards

Arlington police were instructed
late yesterday to remove political
posters from telephone and power
poles after a candidate who had no
placards printed complained that a
local ordinance was being violated.
Albert A. Carretta, the progress
i've" canidate in the four-way race
for the two House of Delegate seats
IN Tuesdays Democrat primary,
appeared before the County Board
yesterday and called attention to the
open and notorious" violation of a
county ordinance.
Mr.. Carretta, who demanded the
County Board instruct the County
Manager to require the chief of
police to have his men tear down
the posters, said placards advocating
the election of Charles r. Fenwick,
Frank L. Ball ,jr, Clarence Hodges
and j. Maynard Magruder had been
tackled to the poles. Mr.. Ball and Mr..
Hodges are on the progressive ticket
with Mr.. Carretta.
Calls 1t Unfair.
He said Mr.. Fenwick's posters
stayed up three or four" days, Mr..
Balls "a few days." Mr.. Hodges only
short time and nov Magruder's
are up"
"1 don't consider it fair to law
abiding candidate" Mr.. Carretta de-
clared.
County Planning Engineer G. l..
Kinnier said he had a man working
eight hours a day taking down
posters. Mr.. Carretta retorted they
are put up at night" The candi-
date said he had seen policemen on
their beats pass the posters without
taking them down.
r. Freeland Chew, board men,
Der and a candidate for reelection
in November, commented that it
always had been understood "in the
past" that the county and the police
would turn their back to such
posting. Mr.. Chew said that since
the candidates, or their friends, had
done the posting in good faith, he
thought the matter would wait until
after election. -
Seeks to Change Hatch Act. -
Mr.. Magruder, meanwhile, said
he intended to ask the next session
of the Legislature to request Con-
gress to remove restrictions placed
on Federal employees by he Hatch
Act.
Mr.. Magruder sal dhe believed
Federal employees living in Arling-
ton, as well as those in other coun-
ties surrounding Washington which
have a preponderance of Govern
ment employees, should be able ito
freely participate in all political
matters"
The candidate said if elected, he
would introduce bill to amend a
Virginia law to permit Government
employees to serve as registrars,
clerks and judges at elections.
Non-partisan election of mem
bers of the County Board and the
School Board has been Endorsed by
John Locke Green, Republican
county treasurer. in a letter to
Harley M. Williams, chairman of
the Arlington Better Government
League.
"Mr. Green wrote: II. certainly
trust that the Republican Conven-
ton and the Republicans will do
again this year what they did last
year by not nominating candidates
for the County Board and School
Board so that the many thousands
of Federal employees may have an
opportunity to actively participate
in their Government"
