Election Draws
Steady Turnout
In Falls Church
Contest Is Stiffest
In Recent Memory;
II Names on BuIIot

A steady flow of voters was visit
ing the Falls Church polls today
to choose seven city councilmen
and a city attorney in the hardest
fought election that local politi-
clans could recall.
Election officials described the
early voting as moderate. but pre-
dicted the balmy weather and
late polling hours would bring a
record turnout before the last
votes are cast at 1880 pm.
There are 1900 registered voters
in the city.
Campaign workers for the two
opposing factions were passing out
literature for their favorite can
didates when the polls opened at
$50 am.
Ballot Carries II Names.
With II names on the ballot, it
was taking voters longer than
usual to mark their choices and
lines were expected to form when
voting picks up in the evening.
There was still every indication
of close race between La Rue
Van Meter. incumbent, and Lytton
Gibson for the Office of city at
torney. It is the first opportunity
voters have had to ballot for this
Office since it became elective by
virtue of, referendum last fall.
Mr.. Van Meter and MIR. Gibson
generally are regarded as leaders
of the opposing factions. Mr.. Van
Meter has been a leader in the
city's administration for more
than five years. Mr.. Gibson in his
campaign has described Mr.. Van
Meter as the city's boss, who has
led Falls Church through a maze
Of expensive court battles.
Candidates for Council.
Council candidates lined up on
Mr.. Van Meters side of the fence
are the present mayor, Albert M.
Orme; w. David Brewer, Sher-
man Wells and Lee M. Rhoads,
incumbents; Malcolm E. Smith,
Carl A. S. Coan and Samuel j..
Dennis.
Council candidates on a slate
with Mr.. Gibson are: Samuel H.
McCrary and James E. Durant,
incumbents; Francis A. Wagner,
w. Alvin Tasker, w. Raymond
Taylor, Mrs. Margaret c. King
and Charles E. Kellog.
The seventh candidate is Adolph
Steinberg. who is not associated
with either council slate.
Council to Choose Mayor.
While Mayor Orme is a candi-
date, voters in this election will
not choose a Mayor. The city's
new charter provides that the
Mayor be chosen by the council
men after the election.
Also at stake in the election is
a $500,000 bond issue, of which
$225,000 is for schools and the re-
mainder for street and storm sewer
Improvements There has been
little controversy over the bonds,
however, because their issuance
will permit lower tax rate in
the coming fiscal year.
If sale of the bonds is not ap-
proved, the school and street prof.
ects will be financed by Short
term loans that will have to be
repaid in shorter period, re-
quiring higher taxes at the present
time.

Broad Play Program
For Federal Workers
Held Vital By Klein
Representative Klein, Democrat,

Representative Klein, Democrat,
of New York today urged the
adoption of a broad recreational
program for Federal employees as
a means of boosting morale and
offsetting unfavorable publicity
recently circulated about the
National Capital.
In letter to the Commissioners
and the chairman of the Civil
Service Commission, Mr.. Klein
pressed for passage of bills Of
fered in the House and Senate to
create Federal Employees Recre-
alton Corporation.
Points to Article in Star.
Need for such program was
pointed up, he said, by "rumors
and misstatements given national
circulation" by the book, Wash
ington Confidential" Mr.. Klein
wrote:
I'm reporting on a recent meet
ing of local citizens associa-
ton, addressed by Commissioner
F. Joseph Donohue, The Evening
Star, always a keen judge of
human values. placed in a box in
the body of the article the fol-
lowing story in its June 6, 1851,
issue:
'Donohoe Raps Book as Harm
full to D. c. and Defense Effort
Commissioner F. Joseph DON
ohue told reporters, after a meet
ing of the Metropolis View Citi-
zens' Association last night, that
the book, Washington Confiden-
tial," had done great harm to the
city and had probably hurt the
defense effort by soaring away
from Washington prospective Gov
ernment employees"
Mr.. Klein deplored the fact that
mot a single Federal or District
government official has stepped
forward to refute these canards
about one of the finest groups of
citizens in our country"
Sees Responsibility Ignored.
Mr.. Klein said the damage
should be repaired by community
and Government support of the
music. drama and cultural activi-
ties now being carried on in the
Agriculture and Interior Depart
ments, the Pentagon and the De-
partmental Auditorium.
The Government, in completely
ignoring its responsibility as an
employer, is far behind private in
dustry in the matter Of providing
recreational facilities, "such as
Firestone, Goodyear, Ford. East
man, Hershey and others have
sponsored with amazing results in
increased morale, efficiency, health
and general welfare, Mr.. Klein
said.
The Representative, a member
Of the House District Committee,
urged broader Federal representa-
ton on the District Recreation
Board. Organizations of Govern
ment employees should be repre-
sented, he said.
Asks Bills Be Enacted.
Mr.. Klein urged adoption of the
central recreational agency pro-
posed in identical bills offered
by himself and four Senators.
IF adopted the bills would
make it possible for the Federal
Government to assume it's right
full responsibility in these mat
ters along lines long established
by private industry" he said.
The program calls for a board
of Is directors, empowered to OBJ
tain land and buildings for all
types of recreational activities
and to organize a National Advis-
ory Committee of national lead
erS.
Currently, both bills are in the
Post Office and Civil
Service Committees. The Senate
group has appointed a subcom-
mittee to study it.

INTRODUCES
COMPANION
FEPC MEASURE

WASHINGTON - CAMP -
Rep. Jacob K. Javits (Rep. Lib,
N.Y. introduced in the House last
week a compaion measure to the
FEPC bill introduced in the Sen
ate a week earlier by Sen. Irving
M. Ives (Rep. N.Y. and a group
of IL other Republican senators.
In introducing the measure, Mr.
JavitS stated that 'the struggle
for equal economic opportunity of
which the FEPC bill is the cor
nerstone involves two major queS-
tons.
First, shall the validity of our
constitutional democracy be
maintained or shall it be cynical
ly flouted.
Second, shall we continue to
furnish to the protagonists of the
communist theology the greatest
propaganda weapon they possess
- the continued discrimination
and segregation practiced in parts
of the United States, particular
ly against Negroes"
He pointed out that world
tied together as closely as ours
must think in terms of diScrimi-
nation in our domestic system is
now projected by the commun-
list as evidence of our intention to
discriminate economically and
socially on an ever-increasing
scale against the colored peoples,
not alone of the United States but
of the world, as our power and
influence increases"
Mr.. Javits expressed conf
dence that. a federal FEPC bill
would be a vital element in our
foreign policy, and suggested that
an executive order be issued to
set up a fair employment prac-
tees committee in the interim,
as was done in World War II.

NEW YORK, Nov. "a (INS)-
The other evening, I was reading
a smart sophisticated piece in a
smart, sophisticatedmagazine about
a smart, sophisticated French
character, Raymond Rouleau.
Mr.. Rouleau is a French actor
and director who has been import
ed to liven up the broadway sea-
son, which could use it.
Anyway, Mr.. Rouleau told the
reporter that in Europe he is IA
nous for a series of movies in
which he plays the principal char
acter, identified by Mr.. Rouleau as
"a typical journalist"
"He drinks, he runs after wo-
men, but he invariably makes a
fool out of the police" was Mr.
Rouleal's further description Of
his typical journalist.
Now this was very interesting
to me, as it is my experience
gained, l must admit, entirely in
city rooms rather than in the mo-
vies-that thetypical journalist is
a staid, sober citizen, married, the
father of 2 or 3 children, dedicat-
