Arlington Sets
Hearing Oct. 5
On Rent Curbs
County Official
Cites Recent Rises
As Cause for Action

A public hearing on readoptior.
of rent controls was set for Oc-
tober S by the Arlington County
Board today.
The chairman, Mrs. Florence
Cannon. said she was proposing
the hearing in view of recent rent
increases in the county.
Board member Robert w. Cox.
said he had learned the county
would have authority to reimpose
controls under an amendment to
the Housing and Rent Act of 1947
adopted last August l.
Action Possible in Shortage.
A section of the amendment
gives the President authority to
establish fair and equitable rents
if the local. governing body finds
that there exists such a shortage
in rental housing accommodations
as to require Federal rent control.
The amendment provides a
similar procedure for States and
cities that want to re-establish
controls.
Virginia has been without rent
controls since June, 1850, as a re-
suit Of action by the General AS
Isembly earlier that year to de-
control the State.
Critical Areas Covered.
The first possibility of a return
to rent controls in Arlington
County was foreseen last June
under an amendment to the De-
fenSe Production Act. 1t per-
mitted re-establishment of con-
trolls in localities that were termed
Critical by the Critical Areas
Committee Of the Defense Pro-
duction Administration.
The Arlington County Board
was quick to indorse that amend
ment, but it was later discovered
that Arlington was not likely to
qualify as critical area"

Elusive Birds in Its Basement Hoross Storel

A pair Of Javanese rice birds
have gained supremacy of the air
lin the basement Of q local de-
|partment store and refused to
|give it up.
The birds escaped from their
wire cage the day they were
acquired by the Neisner Bros.
store. 1120 G street NV, about
five weeks ago.
Since then basement clerks
have been waging a futile struggle
to capture the truants.
The birds soar through the
basement together, swooping down
on the customers and over the
counters.
Their favorite spot is the mems
slipper department, where they
sit quietly. nestled together on q
shadow box near the ceiling. The
slightest disturbance sends them
romping through the store.
At night they nest in the lamp
department, and take OF in the
morning as the first clerk II
sighted coming too close.
Tive other Javanese rice birds
second cousins to the finch fam
lily, escaped from their cages al
the same time, but were recap.
tured when they ventured back
for food and water.
II don't think the rice birds
ever will be captured" one CLERK
said, ''but I've found some relief
I just shoe them over to the men,

Drunkometer FIunks
First Arlington TEST
And Passes Second

Evidence gained through use OF
a mechanical drunk test was
thrown out of court in one case
and admitted in a second case yes
terday in Arlington.
In the first case, the confusion
of the policeman who applied the
drunkometer test to Clayton
Whisenant, 30-year -old barber, re-
suited in the Court barring his
testimony. But Whisenant. who
lives in the 270o block Of South
Meade street. Arlington, was con-
victed of driving while drunk and
fined 500. A 30-day jail term was
suspended.
In the second case. Army Sergt
Byron Rothenhoefer, AZ. of the
900 block South Lee street. Alex
andria, was convicted of the same
charge, after drunkometer evid-
ence was submitted by the same
policeman. Rothenhoefer was
handed the same sentence by
Judge Hugh Reid.
The confusion of Police Pvt.
Walter Cauffman over the amount
of alcohol the drunkometer meas
ured in Whisenant's bloodstream
caused Judge Reid to issue a sharp
cebuke. He said the policeman had
taken the test so carelessly that
it is of no value"
Pvt. Cauffman's confusion fol-
lowed close questioning by Judge
Reid concerning the policeman's
knowledge of the chemical test
He explained that the test is
made with breath. contained in
an ordinary balloon, which is
passed through a mixture Of sui
phuric acid and potassium per-
manganate. If alcohol is present
the chemical will change color.
The amount of the alcohol
present is determined by the
amount Of water displaced by the
breath after it has caused the
color change and enters a water
cylinder. The entire mechanical
unit is contained in a box about
the size of a portable typewriter
A prosecution witness, DR.. Sid
ney Kaye, toxicologist for the
State OF Virginia, said the pres
ence of alcohol in the breath is
directly related to the amount OF
alcohol in the bloodstream. He
said the blood gives off the alco-
hol in the lungs and it is expelled
by breathing.
Whisenant was arrested by Pvt
Harry Totten on September ! at
1880 pm, near the Dolly Madison
School on South Twenty-thiro
street. He admitted he had drunk
about four bottles Of beer in the
four hours prior to his arrest
His attorney, Chester M. Brasse
had sought unsuccessfully to have
the drunkometer evidence barred
before Judge Reid decided the tes'
was made carelessly.

Given Plans 10
Cut Traffic Toll
Suggestions Include
End of Mail Order
Permit Renewals
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. "a
Cut the speed >. sitter fines and
jail sentences for traffic offenders
&. eliminate the mail-order sys-
tenn for renewing drivers per-
mits. -.
These are some of the sugges-
tions made yesterday to the Vir-
ginia Advisory Legislative Council
at a hearing on ways and means
of cutting down Virginia's record
highway toll. 5
The Virginia Society of Safety
Engineers said many persons who
are no longer qualified to drive
renew their licenses by mail.
Speaking for the engineers,
o. P. McCauley proposed legisla-
ton requiring every driver to take
Ia test every six years-the same
examination that is given new ap-
|plicants.
Revocation Of Licenses.
The safety engineers also asked
that a drivers license be perma-
nently revoked on conviction on a
first offense of reckless driving
and driving while under the in
lfiuence of liquor or drugs.
Mandatory jaif sentences Of not
less than three months were asked
by the engineers for those con-
victed on a first offense of driving
under a period of license suspen-
sion or revocation.
The AAA clubs of Virginia said
the Division of Motor Vehicles
should be granted the power to
revoke as well as grant driving
privileges.
Other AAA Suggestions.
Spokesman for the AAA also
saw a night speed limit Of As
miles as an aid in cutting down
accidents. Other AAA sugges-
| tions:
l. A jail sentence of one to six
months and fine of between 500
and $1,000 for a person convicted
OF driving with a suspended Ii
cense. A jail sentence of six
months to year and a fine of
S100 to $1,000 for a second of
fense of driving after license has
been suspended.
2. Any speed Is miles above
the posted limit should be con-
sidered reckless driving and vio-
lators should be punished on a
flrst conviction by suspension of
license for one to six months and a.
fine OF $25 to $500. A second con-
Vlctlon within a 12-month period
would be punished by imprison-
ment OF from five to 80 days and
f1ne of from $50 to $1,000.

for the oil operations to continue
in Iran pending a settlement by
the two parties.
3. 1t was understood the United
States was not favorable to any
resolution that would make it ap-
pear to have thrown its weight
toward either party. The United
States repeatedly wants to take a
middle course in the dispute, and
to get the two parties together for
talks.
While the Soviet Union has
been reported making overtures of
help to Iran, there has been no
indication that the Russians will
make strong effort in the U. N.
at present. Semyon K. Tsarapkin,
the Soviet deputy in the Council,
is the acting head of the delega-
ton now in the absence of Soviet
Deputy Foreign Minister Jacob A.
Malik, who is in Moscow on what
was supposed to be a vacation.
1t was felt here that If the Rus
slams really intended to play a
leading role at this stage, they
would have sent top diplomat
for the coming Security Council
debates. Informed sources said
yesterday that Mr.. Malik is not
expected to return here before the
General Assembly opens in Paris
November 6, but most likely will
be in Paris for the Assembly.
