PoIIet Is Cards Lone HoIdout
As He Spurns Bonus Terms
By the Assoeiofed Press

ST. PETERSBURG. Fla, Mar.
2.-Because he refused to gamble
on the st. Louis Cardinals ability
to draw the crowds, Howie Pollet
today remained the lone Redbird
holdout as his mates settled down
to their spring training grind.
Pollet, one of the two 20-game
winners in the National League
last year, still is at his home in
Houston, Tex, because Owner Fred
Saigh and he don't see eye-to-eye
over his salary demands.
Il think I have fair raise COM

southpaW pitcher was quoted as
saying recently. "Mr. Saigh agreed
with me I'm worth what I am ask
ing, but says the club can't afford
it.
"Yet the Cards made over a
million dollars last year and I am
one of the men who helped them
make it. I didn't expect Mr..
Saigh to treat me this way"
Pollet, who won 20 and lost
8 games in 1949. signed contract
calling for a reported $4,000 last
year. He is demanding s25, 900
for 1850.
Saigh. who arrived here several
days in advance of the players,
admitted that Pollet's demands
were mot unreasonable"

chagrined, because I couldn't get

Virginia House
Votes Today on
Mine Measure
Administration Chiefs
Predict Passage of
Seizure Powers
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 13.-
The Governors mine seizure bill
posed a test of administration
power in the House of Delegates
today.
Administration leaders predicted
that the necessary four -fifths
vote could be mustered to pass
the bill as an emergency measure.
Members went back to work
with a major bill in the Battle
legislative program already en-
acted into law. The Governor
signed the emergency $45 million
school grant over the week end
and the State Education Depart,
ment began preliminary procedure
for distribution of the first $50
million.
Key administration supporters
in the House felt the mine seizure
bill would be given preferred
treatment in spite of the 81 votes
that were cast in a futile effort
to amend it Friday.
Only 78 members voted out of
the House membership of 100 on
the amendment. But the 81 for
the amendment. offered by Dele
gate Temple L. Kessinger of Allie
ghany, a CIO official, is precisely
the number that could rub out
the emergency clause on final
passage.
Those who favored the amend
ment said administration sup
porters included number who
favor emergency passage of the
bill but had adopted a cautious
attitude toward certain language
of the measure. They said a
number of the 81 would be found
voting right" on the final record
ballot.
Mr.. Kessinger sought unsuccess-
fully to tack a rider onto the bill
saying that the same wages and
working conditions would prevail
under State seizure that were
being paid at the time the State
took over. Others argued that the
bill didn't state clearly that miners
working for the State would come
under the protection of workmen's S
compensation laws.
Delegate John B. Boatwright of
Buckingham, chief patron of the
administration measure, argued
successfully that to write i'm the
same working conditions" clause
would destroy the effectiveness of
the act. If the mines were seized
because of crisis brought about
by three-day, one-day or no-day
work week. he said, the same
working conditions would have to
be continued under Mr. Kessin-
gers proposal.

Annexation Study
0fFairfax Area by
Alexandra Ready

A professional study recon-
mending that Alexandria annex
.71a square miles of Fairfax County
has been accepted by the City
Annexation Committee.
Committee Chairman Albert A.
Smoot announced acceptance of
the report today. It was made by
r. Stuart Royer & Associates,
Richmond, consulting engineers.
Mr.. Smoot said the report will
be presented to the city council
with his committees recommen-
dations. He refused to say just
what the recommendations will be
but indicated they will favor COM
Ipliance with the report. Date for
the special session has not been
set.
Area Is West of City.
The area in question lies to the
west of the city and includes land
on either side of the new Shirley
Memorial highway. 1t would
about double the city's present
land area. 1t would add approx
mately 5000 residents, including
an estimated 1000 school children,
to the city population. Alexan-
dria's present population is esti-
mated at $4,000.
Estimated costs of the acquisi-
ton, which would ultimately be
set by the court after an annexa-
tion suit is filed, were not revealed
by Mr.. Smoot. He said. however,
he felt that after the council has
considered the report it would is
sue financial statement"
The report states bluntly
though. ut appears that annexa-
ton of the territory proposed =
would be economically sound for
the city"
Would Cover Losses.
"The Shirley Memorial High
way is undoubtedly having an
adverse effect on business in
Alexandria and by taking the
areas lying adjacent to this new
highway into the city. some of
these losses most likely be re-
captured"
In addition, the report states,
the annexation Should not cause
the people brought into the city
to pay higher taxes than they are
paying, but for which they will
enjoy greater facilities and serv-
ices than are rendered by the
county"

Arlington Seeks
Way 10 Increase
Parking Areas
Means of Paying
Cost May Cause
Debate in County

Arlington will act soon to re-
lieve parking congestion, one Of
many problems in all suburban
communities.
Off-street facilities in shopping
areas are reported in favor but
the method of financing them Is
expected to stir debate.
Legislation pending in the Vir-
ginia General Assembly would
empower the Arlington Board to
acquire property for parking pur-
poses. 1t gives the board wide
latitude in accomplishing the OBJ
jective.
Objection has been raised, how
ever, to one possible method of
financing off-street facilities.
Tax Districts Opposed.
Leonard o. Hilder, president Of
the Democratic Club of Arlington,
declared today that there is con-
siderable sentiment" within his
organization against the estab-
llshment of special taxing districts
to provide the money. He said:
We only have to look at our
neighboring communities in Mary
land to see how tax districts have
been piled upon tax districts. 1t
not only complicates the tax struc-
true, but frequently imposes an
unfair burden on those who are
already paying an exceedingly
large amount of taxes.
There are many who feel that
business is already paying taxes
out of proportion to the commu-
nifty services which business is re-
ceiving."
Both Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties have numerous
special taxing districts. One was
set up in the Silver Spring busi-
ness section for off street parking
lots. Some Virginia counties also
have special taxing districts,
notably for sanitation programs.
Mr.. Hilder said the Democratic
Club was studying a resolution to
recommend that parking facilities
be acquired by using a part of the
money Arlington County derives
from its business and professional
tax. The resolution offered by
Harold Schilz was referred to q
committee composed of Joseph
Creagh. Randolph Avon, Paul Hill
and Roswell Waldo.
Plan Proposed by Citizens.
The legislation pending at Rich
mond was proposed by an advisory
committee of IL citizens appointed
by the County Board.
Thomas w. Phillips, the COM
mittee chairman, explained the
legislation would enable the board
Ito. follow any one. of several
courses. The board could author
ize a bond issue for parking IA
fcilities, could use current revenues
or, under certain conditions, set
up special tax. The board could
authorize either the purchase or
leasing of land, he added.
Daniel A. Dugan, board chair
man, said he believes the board
will follow the wishes of the busi-
ness people.
Mr.. Dugan said the county all
ready had taken one step to pro-
vide some parking relief. A lot
between Fairfax drive and Clar-
endon Circle is being prepared.
Parking meters will be used there.
Mr.. Phillips said his advisory
committee expected to report to
the County Board when the en-
abling legislation becomes law
within two weeks.
