Simpson Appointment
AS Board Clerk Hit by
Arlington Democrats

Appointment of Mrs. Ruby
Simpson as clerk of the County
Board was attacked by the Arling-
ton Democratic Council last night
as "favoritism" by the board ma
jority "at the expense Of the
taxpayers"
The council met last night at
the Ashton Heights Women's
Club. About 40 representatives
of Democratic groups attended.
Mrs. Simpson was appointed
Saturday by a 80 vote. The
Democratic members, F. Freeland
Chew and Alfred E. Frisbie, dis
sented.
The council adopted a resolu-
ton Of Harold Shilz. chairman
of its Peoples Auditing Commit
tee.
The resolution said that cit is
common practice to have a COM
petent court reporter or stenogra-
pher fill such post. Mrs. Simp-
son is neither a typist nor stenog-
rapher. In addition to her $4,000
salary. clerks to the clerk will
have to be employed"
Called "Brazen Payoff."
The council charged the board
majority with "a complete dis
regard of the merit system. -
The council said the boards an
nouncement stresses "Mrs. Simp-
sons long familiarity with county
and civic affairs, which has some
basis; but the long friendship OF
the chairman Of the board, Mrs.
Florence Cannon. and her politi-
cal support from Mrs. Simpson,
has more to do with this brazen
political payoff."
Mrs. Simpsons only comment
today was that she is neither
typist nor stenographer. But,
she added, neither is the county
manager. who served as board
clerk until about year ago.
The council also attacked a
proposal of the board majority to
retain Attorney Malcolm Miller
as legal counsel at 5000 a month.
The borad deferred action on
the suggestion after Common
wealth's Attorney Denman T.
Rucker said Mr.. Miller would
have an opportunity to test his
legal skill" by trying to collect
his first paycheck.
Mccarthy Indorsed.
The council labeled the proposal
"an effort of the Better Govern
ment League members of the
board to pay off one of their
strong political supporters and
supplant the elected common
wealth's attorney with an ap-
pointed man not directly respon-
Sible to the voters"
In other action the council in
dorsed Circuit Court Judge WAL
