ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 9.-Roomer.
leaped to safety in their night

at Wright's Hotel in the down
town Negro section of Annapolis
Flames wrapped the three STORY
building for an hour and a halt
before ice-encrusted firemen
brought them under control.
Seventeen men, women and
children escaped. They were
members of three colored fami-
lies rooming on the second floor of
building which had not been
operated as a hotel since 1941.
Pedestrians Aid Rescue.
Early morning pedestrians
dashed to the rescue when the
fire broke out on the second floor

building had been vacant for sew
eral years. The building, on CAL

Charter Plan
Non-Purtison Feature
Stricken; Falls Church
Draft Also Reported
BY g staff Correspondent Of The star

RICHMOND, Mar. s.-A new
charter for Alexandria-without
a requirement for partisan
elections for city councilmen-was
before the State Senate today.
Also reported by the Counties,
Cities and Towns Committee yes
terday was new charter for the
city of Falls Church.
Delegate Armistead Boothe,
Alexandria, entered strenuous OBJ
Jections to committee amend
ments which remove the nom
partisan features from his city's
charter. He said the people of
the community had approved the
provisions of the charter in an
advisory referendum last Novem-
ber.
Follows Policy.
Chairman Mosby Perrow, Lynch
burg. retorted that the General
Assembly is not bound by advisory
referenda. He said there is no
reason why the Legislature should
ban the political parties from en-
tering into contests at a local
level unless the parties agree to
remain out of the contests.
This expression bore out what
has been the policy of the COM
mittees of the House and Senate
throughout the session in acting
on charters. Whenever bills pro-
hibited holding partisan elections
this language has been stricken
out. This was done with the
Falls Church charter also.
The way is open, however, for
the local political committees to
agree to abstain from participating
in elections so that the elections
may be held on a non-partisan
basis.
Zoning Change Made.
Another change in the Alex
andria charter was similar to that
in the Falls Church city govern
ment plan. Authority to control
subdivision developments within
3 miles Of the city limits was
eliminated.
Most Virginia cities are sur
rounded by counties of purely
rural characteristics. while Alex
andria and Falls Church are en-
circled by counties which have
their own planning and zoning
authority. Both Arlington and
Fairfax have planning and zoning
boards.

To Elect Sinclair
Virginia Judge
Acrimonious Caucus
Nominutes Manassas
Man to 10th Circuit
By Alex R. Preston
stor StafT Correspondent

RICHMOND, Mar. 9.-Arthul
w. Sinclair, Manassas attorney
will be elected associate Judge OF
the 18th circuit by the General
Assembly today. D.
He was nominated last night at
an acrimonious Democratic caucus
of House and Senate members.
Mr.. Sinclair won the Democratic

over Trial Justice Harry L. Carrico
of Fairfax. According to tradi-
ton, the Democrats then cast a
unanimous ballot for the winner
who will be officially nominated
and elected by the General As
sembly today. -
Apologies to Clarke
Immediately after the vote, w.
Hill Brown. former Common
wealths attorney of Prince Will
liam County, made remarks re-
ported to have cast aspersions on
Senator Andrew w. Clarke, who
represents Alexandria, Fairfax
and Prince William-the area
embraced by the circuit to which
Mr. Sinclair was elected judge.
Senator Clarke had nominated
Mr.. Carrico.
Senator Harry Stuart, Russell
took exception to Mr.. Brown S
remarks and elected him from
the House Of Delegates chamber
Senator Stuart then accompanied
Mr.. Brown to the Senate cham
Der, where Mr.. Brown apologized
to Senator Clarke.
William D. Medley, veteran
member of the House and Senate
from Arlington, was unanimously
nominated for the associate
judgeship of the 35th circuit in
Arlington.
Sinclair Studied in d. C.
Legislation creating the second
judgeships for both circuits has
just been passed by the Assembly
and some members said they
would not have voted for the bill
unless assured Mr.. Medley would
be chosen in his circuit.
Mr.. Sinclair, 81, was born in
Manassas and was educated in
the public schools there. He at
tended Augusta Military Academy
and Washington and Lee Univer-
sity. Later he attended George
town University. where he re-
ceived his law degree. He was
admitted to practice before the
District bar in 1888 and was ad-
mitted to the Virginia bar year
later. sse -,+ss37 s.F
He served in the. Army from
1943 until 1916. and during part
of this period was assigned to the
Office of the Judge Advocate Cen
eral, Washington. He is married
and has daughter.
Arlington Delegation Split.
Frank P. Moncure, Stafford,
placed Mr.. Sinclair's name before
the caucus. After the meeting he
was roundly applauded and con-
graduated for his victory. For
the most part, Northern Virginia
legislators followed the wishes of
their local bar associations. The
Arlington delegation was split,
however. Senator Charles r,
Fenwick and Delegate George
Damn voted for Mr.. Carrico
while Delegate j. Maynard Ma
gruder voted for Mr.. Sinclair.
Delegates Armistead Boothe
