Physicians Diagnosis
|0f Barrett's Condition
Believed Near|yRead

A diagnosis of Police Chief Rob-
Iert J. Barretts condition ap-
peared near today. but his physi-
clans maintained their silence on
the nature of his illness.
DR. G. Louis Weller, jr.. member
Iof the Board of Police and Fire
Surgeons, who serves as the chief S
personal physician, said the report
would not be completed by noon
today. That was his reply when
asked to confirm a published
statement that the report would
not be ready for "at least "a
hours"
DR.. John A. Reed, chairman of
the police board, visited Commits
Isioner John Russell Young at the
District Building yesterday after
noon. Commissioner Young ac-
knowledged that they discussed
Maj. Barrett's condition, but he
said he got no final report.
Not Feeling Too Well"
On the medical report rests the
question of whether Maj. Barrett
will be rated physically able tc
continue as chief.
The Board of Police and Fire
Surgeons meets on Tuesdays when
there is a case to consider, but
officials refused to say whether
Maj. Barrett would go before the
board this Tuesday.
Mrs. Barrett said she visited her
husband for a few minutes yester-
day and he wasn't feeling too
we'll"
There seemed little likelihood
of an advance announcement from
the District Building if Maj. Bar
rett's physician recommends that
he should go before the police
board.
Commissioner Young told news
men that after DR.. Reed receives
a report from DR.. Weller it will
go to the police board and "it's
up to them to give it out"
Inspectors in Campaign.
Meanwhile. rumors of Maj. Bar
rett's possible retirement have
been strong enough to prompt
some of his inspectors to go into
wide-open campaigning to become
his successor.
What worries them is that the
commissioners might announce
Maj. Barrett's retirement and
name a successor at the same
Itime-although Commissioner F.
Joseph Donohue has said that
wouldn't happen.
Another top job is opening ur
in the Police Department because

officer, is expected to retire, ef-

It'll Be Mild Winter, WooIIy Bear Says
By Hermon F. Schoden

| Most of the woolly bears, sensi.
tive creatures that they pretend
Ito be, have taken to cocoons. rocks
or tree stumps.
But behind them the fuzzy little
fellows have left a somewhat be-
|wildered species, known as homo
sapiens. wondering whether the
winter ahead has been accurately
forecast.
There are some who believe the
black and brown caterpillars have
an occult power Of prognosticat-
ing winters severity. .
At least one scientific expedition
is held each October to examine
the brown bands circling Woolly's
middle. If the bands are wide, the
winters should be mild; if they
are narrow. look out for some in
temperate blasts.
Warm Winter, Maybe?
This years expedition recently
reported back the breathtaking
news: Wide bands.
This would mean a mild win
ter, but it was news that left
some of the local experts cold
notably the Weather Bureau.
Don't believe a word that
Woolly says" one anonymous
forecaster forecast. Hes Just
an upstart in a long line of char
Ilatan weather prophets"
The search for truth and light
turned to DR. Elizabeth E. Havi-
land, assistant professor of ento-
mology at the University of Mary
land.
They Travel by Highway.
"Woolly bears? I saw hun
dreds of them crossing the high
ways near the Morgantown Bridge
in Virginia about a month ago.
Many of them must have been
killed. Those that lodged the
car wheels undoubtedly spun
crude coccoons, or, if they were
too lazy. climbed under stones or
fallen trees. There they will
hibernate for the winter"
But how about the winter?
What is Woolly expecting?
He doesn't know what to ex-
pect. Matter of fact. Richard
Phillpit,> "a graduate student, found
out about that last year. He
gathered about SO of them and
learned there was no uniformity
as to width of the bands.
Diet Hinted as Factor.
"The type of bands around the
caterpillars may be correlated to
moisture and food and probably
differ in various parts of the
country" she said.
1T would take five or ten years
OF study in one locality to deter
mine whether the width of the
brown bands change from year
to year.

lrked by Report,
South Arlington
Own Study
Business Potential
Of Columbia Pike
Will Be Surveyed

South Arlington businessmen,
irked by an economic survey or
dered by the County Board, are
planning to have business possi-
bilities in the Columbia Pike area
studied.
The South Arlington Business
and Professional Association, with
about 140 members, has been criti-
cal Of the economic report made
by Homer Hoyt Associates Of
Larchmont. N. Y. It is their con-
tention that the report favors the
North Arlington shopping area in
and around Clarendon. to the
detriment of business interests in
South Arlington.
"We don't want to appear to
be sectional about this thing"
Homer Bauserman, president Of
the business group said. 1--WE are
aware that more cooperation be-
tween business interests is needed
in Arlington, and, therefore, we
are not out to fight with Claren-
don or any other shopping dis
trict. But we don't think it is
proper for the County Board to
spend taxpayers money for a re-
port that promotes one section of
the county to the detriment of
Ianother."
Authorized at Meeting.
Edward M. Smith, secretary Of
the organization, said he and Mr..
Bauserman were authorized at a
meeting Thursday night to speak
for the group.
Mr.. Smith said the organization
plans to seek an independent sur
Ivey and analysis of business pos
slbillties in the Columbia pike
area.
Mr.. Bauserman said the group
believes there is more land avail
able on Columbia pike for COM
merclal development than any
other area in the county.
"And it is available at reason
able prices, too," he added.
I'VE deplore the necessity for
appearing to be sectional" Mr..
Smith said. But the facts are
that the County Board has not
acted wisely in publishing the re-
port which says the shopping
center of the county should be
in the Hecht-Kann's area"
He said the present-day trend
Is toward decentralization, espe-
cially in shopping facilities. Be-
cause many people do their shop
ping by car, the need for decen-
trallzation is greater and the argu-
ment that business DEVELOPMENT
should be in a central area is not
valid.
CallS CrltlclSm Unfair.
The Hoyt report was authorized
at a cost of $4,000 by the board.
1t was released in summary form
Tuesday. The report notes the
establishment of the Hecht Co.
and Kann's department stores in
the Clarendon-Ballston area of
North Arlington and says that
future development of retail busi-
ness should be encouraged in this
area.
Mr.. Bauserman said his organi-
zation objected to unfair criti-
cism expressed by the County
Board chairman, Mrs. Florence
Cannon"
Mrs. Cannon last week declared
that opposition of the South Arl-
ington group to release Of the
Hoyt report stemmed from little
people (who) have just small
and greedy minds"
when we elected Mrs. Cannon
to the board" Mr.. Bauserman
said, I'VE expected her to repre-
sent all of the county, not just
one area"
