zoniing Appeals
Procedure Hit
|nA|exandria
Council Member Sits
On Planning Boord,
Also at Final Heurino

Alexandrians who appeal for
zoning changes may not be get
ting fair deal because one City
Council member also sits on the
City Planning Commission accord
ing to another City Councilman.
Leroy S. Bendheim warned the
city governing body last night of
an unconstitutional proceeding
threatening our whole zoning
system" In calling attention to
the double judgment by the same
official.
Mr. Bendheim's remarks fol-
lowed two rezoning denials in
which Councilman r. Samuel
Luckett, who sits as a member of
the planning commission, voted
mo" to the petitions. AS another
mo" was voiced at each appeal,
this meant a denial of the petit
tions. zoning appeals to- the
Council must gain a 6-1 vote to
be granted.
Mr.. Luckett Named.
Mr.. Bendheim explained that
when the planning commission
turns down a request for zoning
change. one member of the City
Council (Mr. Luckett) is likely to
be disposed against the case.
Il don't think council men,
ber can pass on a matter in a
planning commission session and
then come here and give a fair
and impartial hearing" Mr.. Bend
helm declared. "It's like having
a trial judge as member of the
court of appeals, and it's unfair
to property owners" He warned
that the situation might result
in suits being filed against the
CITY,.
Agreeing that there is merit in
your suggestion" Mayor Franklin
P. Backus asked that the matter
be investigated and taken up at
the next council meeting. It was
pointed out that the city ordi-
nance and the new city charter
both provide that councilman
serve on the planning commission.
Mr.. Bendheim suggested that
MI. Luckett either resign Or be
removed from the commission un-
til the charter was amended. He
made it clear that his attack was
not aimed at Mr.. Luckett person.
ally and would be valid no matter
which council member was on the
commission.
Two Appeals Denied.
The two zoning appeals denied
by a close vote last night involved
the effort of a young Air Force
veteran to build a car-washing
establishment on King street near
Seminary road. and the rezoning
to commercial of a residential area
on the north side of Duke street
near West street. Although it was
pointed out that both areas are
deteriorating as residential sites,
the council denied both requests
by a 4-3 vote.
Other action last night included
authorization to borrow S125 900
to buy seats for George Wash
lngton Stadium and ALLEGATION of
S62,270 for repaving Glebe road
from Russell road to Valley drive
Also studied was the question of
removing seven arks and sheds
which may be on city waterfront
property. Six owners of the dwell
lngs appeared in City and Police
Court yesterday morning to an
swer charges of unlawful use OF
public property, but their cases
were continued so title to the
property in question could be
proved.
Asked for funds to finance q
title search, the City Council told
City Attorney Floyd Williams to
present estimates at the next
meeting.

U. 5. Aircraft Engines
Go 10 Tito, but Military
Types Are Withheld
By the Associoied Press

Yugoslavia is buying American
aircraft engines and equipment of
commercial design, but the United
States Government has turned
down Eat this time" a Yugoslav
bid for military-type engines
Export licenses already have been
issued for used aircraft engines
tires, radios, hydraulic equipment
and spare parts.
American officials who made
these disclosures yesterday added
that the rejection of the request
for military shipments should not
be taken to mean the United
States is uninterested in bolster
ing Yugoslavia against possible
attack from Russia.
This Nation recently signed a
civil aviation agreement with Yu-
goslavia. Also. President Truman
made it plain through Ambas-
sador George Allen that the
United States would view aggres-
sion against the Balkan country
as seriously as it did that against
any other nation.
Since Communist Yugoslavia'S
break with the Cominform, the
United States has followed a pol
icy of extending limited but
strictly military aid to Mar
shal Tito.
With the equipment it does re-
ceive. Yugoslavia is expected to
expand its present air route be-
yond Zurich, Switzerland, to Par
Is, London and possibly Amster-
dam and Scandinavia.
Diplomatic officials point out
that the Yugoslavs also could use
increased air strength to push
Russian satellite airliners out of
the air over their territory.

1t has been divided into family
plots and the entire cemetery Is to
have perpetual care.
A concrete wall is being btult
around it and hard surface drive
ways are being put through.
A deep well and sprinkler system
to be installed will insure plenty OF
water for the grass and shrubbery
which will line the driveways.

buyers get a warranty deed just
like when they buy home.

tary of the International Associa-
ton of Railway employees, disclosed
that the firemen went back to their
jobs all over the system after winn-
ing a federal court injunction
against the union and railroad.
The Diesel agreement, a scheme
created by the rail brotherhoods and
approved by number of railroads,
is designed to drive Negroes from
their jobs as firemen, switchmen,
brakemen, porters and hosters. The
agreement with the ACL provided
that only White promotable firemen
be employed on passenger runs.
1t had the effect Of disregarding
seniority accumulated by Negro fire
men and RELOCATING them to steam
engines which are presently used
only in local freight and yard SER
