at luncheon would make another
book, rates the Goddard one as
near the top in his most vivid
memories.
Il was 49," he says, "and a
young ensign with an ensign's in
come IN Hollywood. 1 was out
there visiting my aunt. Rose
Franken, the playwright, who rep
resented better connection that
most ensigns might have in a place
like Hollywood.
"At any rate. this is how it was
that I had a date with Paulette.
Up to then. there never was date
like it for I not only had Paulette' S
presence to enchant me, but we
were using her car, fancy, yellow
model that was great relief from
the interior decoration I encoun-
tered in the Navy.
THE car. however, was my un-
doing. We parked it to catch a
drink at a place where people
catch drinks and when we came
out. there was a truck in front
and another behind. We couldn't
move, which was just the kind of
situation in which a young ensign
could prove the stuff he was made
of. Without pausing to think of
the stuff was made of, I volun-
teered to move the truck.
1T turned out I was made of
the wrong stuff. 1 suppose you
never mastered coal trucks your
self. but I can tell you they have
a lot of controls. I found the one
that started the engine, which
should have impressed Paulette,
but right after that I found one
that certainly destroyed any
favorable impression might have
made. I moved it and before I
knew what effect it had, the dump
body tilted backward and dumped
a ton of coal right in the middle
of her bright yellow car"
Everytime any one mentioned
Hollywood after that, Comdr. Led
erer's mind went back to his date
with Paulette, but now that he
has become a Hollywood author,
by indirection, he thinks he can
face the future with more poise.

Six Arlington Firemen Huri
Fighting Fire at RossIyn

Six Arlington firemen suffered
minor injuries while fighting a
fire early yesterday which burned
out the interior Of an abandoned
laundry at 1407 Lee highway,
Rosslyn.
The fire was discovered by
Louis Luzi, chief of Arlington
Volunteer Fire Company No. 8.
who had to borrow nickel to call
fellow f1remen. Mr.. Luzi, riding
by in his tow car en- route to pick
up an auto involved in an acci-
dent, found he had no change
when he went for phone.
The blaze was the second one
at the structure in less than a
year. The building, a one-story
brick structure, housed the IN
dustrial Laundry until the first
fire caused the concern to move
to Alexandria.
None of the injuries to firemen
was reported serious. Only one,
Edgar Farmer, a member Of
Arlington Company No. Q, was
taken to Arlington Hospital. He
was released after treatment. The
others were treated at the scene
for smoke inhalation and other
minor injuries.
Firemen said the blaze may
have been started by a short
circuit. -Four fire companies
Cherrydale, Clarendon, Ballston
and Arlington-responded.

Fenwick Hits Method
OF Hiring in Arlington
As Patronage Threat

State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick of Arlington charged today
that the county's new method of
hiring police and f1remen may be
used for patronage.
The County Board recently es-
tablished a Police and Firemen's S
Examination and Review Commit
tee to prepare an eligible list of
appointees to these two depart
ments.
eft will be the duty of the COM
mittee to review the applications
and examinations, and prepare an
eligible list" said the legislator
This means that the names of
those whom the committee con-
slider ineligible will not be SUBJ
mitted to the county manager,
thus depriving the manager of the
organic function which is specif1-
cally provided for in the County
Manager Act"
Mr.. Fenwick said it was sig
nificant that Harley Williams
chairman of the Better Govern
ment League, had been named to
the Screening Committee. The
State Senator termed the League
a local political party.
I'm effect, this committee con-
stitutes patronage committee, ~
said Senator Fenwick, requiring
that every appointment to the
police and fire departments be a
person who has been approved
by Mr.. Williams"
Mr.. Fenwick said he feared that
the county manager form of gov
ernment in Arlington would be
ultimately destroyed" if the new
committee is unchallenged,

the State Highway Department.
which said the $500, 1000 project
Will eliminate the last two-lane
section on U. S. Route / between

southbound traffic, while north
bound traffic will move on the
new section.
The overheads take the high

Seaboard Air Line and Virginiar
Railroads. The Seaboard crossing
Will have an unusual feature
northbound traffic will pass above
the tracks as southbound traffic
passes beneath them.
