Falls Church Council
Asks Manager 10 Set
Development Policy

Establishment Of a policy for
commercial area development in
Falls Church is one of the first
projects assigned to w. Rhodes
Woodbury., the community's new
city manager.
The City Council last night
asked Mr.. Woodbury. to prepare
such a policy by January l.
At the same time, the council
agreed to ask Attorney General ].
Lindsay Almonds opinion on the
legality of donating city water to
st. James Parochial School. Botf
actions were suggested by Coun-
Gilman Samuel E. McCrary.
Warns of Deterioration.
In making the proposal for q
commercial development Mr.. Nc
Crary warned that "the lack of an
effective policy and plan may re-
suit in the gradual deterioration
of business activity and property
values within the CITY," 80.
The study will cover parking,
sidewalks, street lighting, drain
age, beautifications and traffic
control. The manager was asked
to consider use of some business
license tax revenues for capital
improvements and acquisition of
land in carrying out the plan.
Mayor Albert M. Orme said the
manager would consult with de-
partment heads, the planning
commission and business organi-
cations in preparing his program.
Earlier Agreement Recalled.
At an earlier meeting the Coun-
Gil had agreed to supply water
free to st. James School. At
that time Mr.. McCrary and Mrs.
Jeanness Writ Myer opposed the
action.
Roy S. Braden, former city man
ager, had opposed waving pay
ment of the schools water bill.
He suggested that the school be
charged like other customers and
then the Council consider making
an appropriation from general
revenues to the water fund to
cover the cost. The suggestion
was not adopted.
Mrs. Myer said the question to
the Attorney General should cover
supply of water to the Scout house,
which also is exempt from making
payments.

Fairfax Told Il Needs
Career Man 10 Serve
As County Manager

Omer L. Hirst, chairman of the
Fairfax County Committee for
Good Government, today issued a
statement declaring that Fairfax
needs county manager who is a
career public servant"
The Committee for Good Gov
eminent is working for adoption
Of a county manager form of
government in Fairfax. County
voters on November 7 will choose
between retention of the present
government, or adoption of coun-
ty executive or county manager
system.
Mr.. Hirst said:
The considerable courthouse
speculation as to what Fairfax
County citizen is being groomed
to be county manager is indica-
tive OF, the lack of understanding
In that quarter of the qualifica-
tions a county manager should
have.
framing emphasized.
The county manager Fairfax
County so badly needs must be a
career public servant, not the
minion OF some political machine,
and his qualifications must be
viewed in that light. He should
pc hired strictly on the basis of
his training and experience in this
particular work. He should come
from outside Fairfax County so
that he will not be obligated to.
or connected with, any clan. fac
ton. or party and so that his loyal
ties will belong to all the people
alike.
Having hired a manager for
his ability to do the job, the board
OF supervisors should support him
fully and without meddling in the
day-to-day details of his work. If
the board ever finds itself unable
to support the manager it should
replace him at once with one it
can support. It is to be borne in
mind that the manager is hired
for the successful performance of
closely defined duties, and that he
hold Office at the pleasure of the
board.
Corrective Steps Possible.
There is every reason to be-
lleve the board of supervisors will
hire a highly competent manager
and that he will do first class
job. Should an administrative
failure or over-stepping of au-
thority occur, however, the board
is in a position to take prompt
corrective steps. The law specif-
ically provides the board with the
power to replace the manager at
its discretion.
Fairfax County desperately
needs the efficient, responsible.
democratic government attainable
under the County Manager form.
It is indeed unfortunate that a
small misguided group without
any justification whatever per-
sists in smearing this citizens
movement as political conspiracy
in which this or that county man
ager supporter is supposed to be
seeking some selfish benefit for
himself"

Prince Georges Called
Heaven for Crooked
Politicians by Hughes

Prince Georges County is a
haven for gamblers and a heaven
for crooked politicians" accord
ing to William r. Hughes, Re-
publican candidate for the Mary
land House of Delegates.
MIR. Hughes made his state
ment last night in a five-minute
radio broadcast opening the
COPS election campaign within
the county. Speaking over Sta
ton WMAL. Mr.. Hughes declared: ::
The insidious political ma
chine which has had a strangle-
hold in the county has been in
power for Is years-25 years by
the same gang of political bosses
and their stooges. That is en-
tirely too long for any party to
govern, whether it be Demo
cratic or Republican"
Certainly any one familiar with
Prince Georges County will testify
that we have had plenty of cor
.ruption, in fact, everything out
here is tied up in the rackets," Mr.
Hughes asserted.
Mr.. Hughes said it was "obvi-
Gus" that the election battle is not
one along party lines but "strug-
gle of the people against the
machine"
He attributed previous Demo-
cratic successes to a large num-
ber of well-intentioned and sin
cere Democrats who do not realize
that the machine politicians are
masquerading as Democrats.
They're not Democrats" he
said, they're autocrats, complete
ly contemptuous of the will of the
people and arrogant to an ex-
treme."
Mr.. Hughes appealed to new
residents to register today in the
final countrywide voters registra-
tion day at the Al election pre-
cincts.
The COP speaker, a Brookside
resident. promised that various
Democrats would be exposed" in
future broadcasts.
John r. Fletcher, Republican
candidate for State Senator, will
speak at 9 pm. tomorrow.

ment to reduce tooth decay among

McKeIdin Leads Fight
On Democrats at,
Leonurdtown RuIIy

Opposing campaigns by Mary
land candidates for State and
national offices swung into high
gear today with Republican lead
ers scheduled to tour Calvert
County after attacking the Demo-
cratic State and national admin
lStratlons at a mass meeting in
Leonardtown last night.
AT the same time, supporters Of
Gov. Lane and George P. Ma
honey. his defeated opponent for
the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination in the September Is
primary, met in Cumberland in a
demonstration of unity.
Principal speaker at the Leon
ardtown rally was Theodore r.
McKeldin, Republican candidate
for Governor, who claimed that
with one more boat, the Chesa-
peake Bay ferry system could han
die as much traffic as the new
bay bridge will be able to carry.
Construction of the bridge is
under way. The self-liquidating
project, to cost more than $40
million, was authorized shortly
after Gov. Lane took Office in 1947.
Says Bridge viii Hinder Traffic.
Mr.. McKeldin, former Mayor Of
Baltimore, said the bridge will be
only 20 feet wide and that traffic
could move no faster than Is
miles an hour.
"At the eastern end" he said,
instead of going all the way to
land. a road is being built out
into the bay and is washing away
as fast as it is being built"
Referring to Democratic prom
lses to abolish the State real
estate tax, Mr.. McKeldin said that
while the tax rate has been low
cred, increased assessments have
resulted in higher tax bills.
He also urged all voters-re-
gardless of their party affiliation
who want a change in the ma
tional administration to vote Re-
publican in the State election in
November.
Mckeldin Attacks Truman.
1--WE believe" he declared, that
there are too many traitors in
Washington. George Washing
ton handled them by putting a
rope around their necks, but
President Truman puts his arms
around their neeks."
Other speakers included John
M. Butler, who is opposing Sena-
tor Tydings, and William A.
Gunter, COP candidate for attor.
ney general against Hall Ham
mond.
At the Cumberland meeting.
Charles F. Heller, a leading sup
porter of Mr.. Maheney in Allegany
County, introduced Gov. Lane at
a dinner attended by about 260
persons.
I'm going to vote for every
Democrat from the top to the bot
tom and forget all about the pri-
mary" Mr.. Heller asserted in what
he termed a reply to Republican
claims that "the Democratic Party
is split wide OPEN"
Lane Predicts Victory.
The diners cheered when the
Governor predicted a Democratic
victory in November.
He recalled that he fought to
save Forstburg State Teachers
College after the Marbury report
had recommended that it be
closed. He added contract will
be awarded soon for new science
building at the school and that
$4,000 will be provided to equip it.
The Governor also said a ma
ternity wing will be provided at
Miners Hospital.
Charges of neglect of Frost
burg College and Miners Hospital
were among the main battle cries
of Mahoney supporters in the pri-
mary and Mr.. McKeldin has in
cluded the issues in his cam
paien.

JUNEAU'5 ANNUAL SPRING CLEAN-Up
 10 BEGIN MONDAY

Juneau's big annual Clean-Up Week begins Monday
 Heralding the arrival of spring, the yearly tidy-up campaign will be held along again by the city, Mayor Waino Hendrickson said to- day.
 Here's what happens during Cleanup Week:
 Residents of Juneau go to work with broom and rake, collecting the rubbish which has accumulated in their yards and basements during the winter months. Those with va cant lots next door make sorties into the lots to clean up waste paper and bottles and make room for the new green grass. Then the col lected trash is put into sacks and boxes and placed near the curb. The city does the rest-trucks arc sent to all sections of the city to pick up the boxes and sacks.
 Already residents of the Indian Village have begun their spring cleanup. Placed in plain view and still not obstructing traffic, boxes of rubbish are at the edges ot streets waiting for the arrival of city trucks.
 Other sections of the city are ex- pected to begin showing the effect of broom and rake this weekend, according to Mayor Hendrickson.
 History of Clean-Up Week? Well, here's the way Mayor Hendrickson puts it.
 Cleanup Week is a springtime event in Juneau. You might say 1t is tradition"
