Court Hearing SET
On Housing Injunction

A hearing will be held on Au-
gust IA in Fairfax Circuit Court
on an injunction suit against the
erection of some second hand
portable housing units in Singing
Pines subdivision.
The hearing date was set YES
terday, after Darius v. Phillips.
contractor, filed an answer to the
suit, denying that the structures
are unworthy of the subdivision.
The town of Fairfax obtained
a temporary injunction against
further work on the controversial
structures after Mr.. Phillips set
one up in Singing Pines.
In his answer, Mr.. Phillips de-
nies that the structures are "ver-
mlnous, dilapidated, improper
odoriferous or unsightly." He fur
ther contends that, upon compile
ton, they will be habitable.
Identical dwellings are in fact
used in divers places in Fairfax
County" according to his answer,
His answer also asserts that
since the town of Fairfax has no
building code, "the type of struc-
lures and condition of same are
immaterial.
Furthermore, he says there is a
need for. low-cost houses of the
type he proposes to build, land
the area is susceptible to such
structures"

Virginia Milk Premiums
Called Price Rise Move
BY The Asseeioted Press

RICHMOND, Aug. 2. The
State Milk Commission was
warned yesterday against increas-
ing premiums to farmers for high
butterfat contention the grounds
that such move would bring
higher milk prices.
The opinion was one of many
expressed as the commission be-
gan two-day hearing here to de-
termine whether it should stand
ardize and possibly increase but
terfat differentials over the "a
markets it controls in Virginia.
AS it is now, farmers get S cents
more in some markets and 6 cents
more in others per 100 pounds of
milk for every tenth of / per cent
of butterfat content above 4 per
cent.
The same amount is deducted
from their milk payments if their
milk contains less than 4 per cent
butterfat.
Victor P. Wilson of Hampton, a
candidate for the State Senate,
and Lee Ford, a representative of
consumer groups in the Newport
News area which are opposed to
the commission, contended any
increase in the differentials would
increase milk costs to distributors
and eventually to consumers.
Commission Chairman Mark
Turner disagreed, however. Mr..
Turner, a Northern Virginia dairy
farmer, said the premiums were
an industry problem and would
not affect consumers.

Former Prince Georges County
Deputy Sheriff Guy E. Curtis
charged today that Republican
Sheriff Carlton G. Beall arrested
three persons on gambling

ator of the old Marlboro Hotel;
Louis Lappin, 81, of the 17O0I
block of Biltmore street NV, and
Mrs. Audrey King. As, Edgewater,
Md.

i'll Beall said Mr.. Curtis left his
post under pressure" exerted by
the sheriff after he became con-
vinced the deputy employed ques-
tionable tactics.
Talk about Objectionable tao
tics" Mr.. Curtis exclaimed, why /
Sheriff Beall got on Mr.. Perry'sI
trail solely because he knew the
hotel proprietor dropped heavy
chunks of green into the Demo-
cratic campaign chest"
"Gluated" Over Arrest.
Mr.. Curtis said that after the
raid, the sheriff "gloated for weeks
because he arrested Mr.. Perry
while he sat under a picture of
Representative Sasscer. |
Mr.. Sasscer heads the county
Democratic organization.
The sheriff." Mr.. Curtis added, |
has overweening POLITICAL ambi-
tions - along with warped
mind-ard don't forget, either,
that he is a member of the Re-
publican State Central Commit
tee."
CounteIing the sheriff's state
ment that he give up his post un-
der pressure. the ex-deputy
claimed that Sheriff Beall asked
him when he turned in Ais resig-
nation to reconsider and stay on

Dugan NaySeek
Rucker' Custer
As a Gambler.
Hinges on Candidacy;
Attorneys Testimony
On Card Playing Cited

Arlington County Board Mem
ber Daniel A. Dugan said today
he will seek to have Common
wealth's Attorney Denman T..
Rucker ousted from Office "for
his admitted gambling activities"
If Mr.. Rucker wins the Democratic
nomination for Commonwealth s.
Attorney next Tuesday.
Mr.. Dugan said the common
wealth's attorney admitted he had
gambled in testimony given dur
ing the board members trial for
m alfeasance last March on
charges presented to a grand jury
by Mr.. Rucker. Mr.. Dugan was
acquitted.
Mr.. Dugan's statement was an
other blow in the exchange of
bitter statements between the two
ofice-holders. Mr.. Dugan, former
chairman of the board and AM
Independent, has frequently diff
fered with Mr.. Rucker, a Demo-
crat. at meetings of the board,
which the attorney attends as AM
adviser.
Resignation May Be Asked.
The board members announce
ment was a reply to a statement
by MIR. Rucker last night terming
Mr.. Dugan a fallen angel" who
has outliyed his usefulness as d
public official and should resign.
Meanwhile. members of the
non-partisan movement which
swept Mr.. Dugan into Office in
1946 have been discussing the
possibility of urging him to re-
sign, it was learned today.
Mr. Dugan said he has not |
been approached on the subject. |
however, and non-partisan lead
ers said there has been no agree
ment to ask him to resign. They
said that they have considered
how vacancy created by Mr..
Dugan's resignation would be
filled.
One suggestion was that if Mr..
Dugan should resign before the
deadline for filing for the Novem-
ber election, September 7, a third
non-partisan candidate might
enter the race.
The present board chairman,
Mrs. Florence Cannon, was not 1
renominated by the non-partisan
Town Meeting. She declined to
say today whether she would con-
slider running for reelection if |.
the Circuit Court should authorize /
the filling of a third vacancy in |,
November.
mo Reason to Resign
Mr.. Dugan said in reply to Mr..
Rucker's call for his resignation
that in trials of malfeasance and
being drunk in public, II have been
absolutely cleared. I have no rea-
son to resign"
In the course of the malfeasance
trial, Mr.. Dugan said, the Com {
monwealth's attorney admitted
having participated in poker {
games with stakes running from J
about 5000 to as high as $4,000.
I'm his basement recreation
room" Mr.. Dugan said, "Mr.
Rucker. the pious pretender, was
gambling away at the game he
described as where two pair
beats one pair"
Mr.. Rucker is opposed in the
primary by Attorney William j.
Hassan. Mr.. Dugan's term on the
board expires in 1854.

Prince Georges Police
Vote TO Oppose Custer
OF Voluntary Force

The Municipal Police Officers
Association of Prince Georges
County has voted to help the
Gregory Estates apartment de-
velopment in Seat Pleasant retain
its voluntary police force.
The 10-man department was
ordered to close down as of mid
night last Tuesday by the Seat
Pleasant Town Council.
Hal Siivers, assistant commits
sioner OF tine police department
said the only stated reason for
the order was that eight Gregory
Estates policemen helped other
town and county officers handle
crowds at the independence Day
celebration in Magruder Park,
HyattsvIlle.
To Operate in Estates.
Mr.. Silvers said the Council
maintaiLS that when the Seat
Pleasant Mayor commissioned the
Gregory Estates force last Janu-
ary 4. it was with the understand
ing that the force would operate
only In Gregory Estates.
Mr.. Silvers, who is president of
the Gregory Estates Civic Associa-
ton, said, however, that the real
reason Seat Pleasant officials are
trying to eliminate the depart
ment is that Gregory Estates resi-
dents nave been opposing the
Town Council and have threat
ened to put up a ticket in next
years election.
The 40 members of the Munich
pal Police Officers Association
who attended the meeting last
night in the Cottage City fire.
house voted unanimously to sup
port the Gregory Estates police
men in their fight against the
custer order. ...
Cites 1899 Local Law.
Ernest H. Mulligan, a lieutenant
on the Cottage City police depart
ment and president of the as
sociation, said a 1889 public local
law requires written charges and
a public hearing before an entire
police force can be ordered to dis
band. The association also au-
thorized its attorney, Vance V.
Vaughn, to provide legal assist
ance to the Gregory Estates police
force.
Mr.. Silvers said his policemen
will continue to carry out their
duties on the advice of Mr..
Vaughn.
Joseph Gardella, Seat Pleasant
councilman and commissioner of
public safety who issued the
custer order, could not be reached
for comment today.
Seat Pleasant has two town
policemen for its population of
