Nee|y Plans Series
|0f Citizen Clinics on
District Legislation
By Don S. Worren

A new series of Legislative
clinics" for Washington citizens
will be scheduled soon by Chair
man Neely of the Senate District
Committee.
Under his plan, the sessions will
be held between now and February
Is, with daily hearings from 10
am. to noon, to give all segments
of the city a chance to voice
complaints or tell the committee
what legislation is needed. Def
mite dates are yet to be announced.
Such citizen conferences, all
opened with prayer and one end
ing with song, were staged by the
West Virginia Senator soon after
he became chairman of the Dis
trict Committee in the summer of
1949.
The clinics held in September
of that year, he told reporters yes
terday, were productive of great
good by starting a new trend"
that instilled new sense Of re-
sponsibility' in the people of the
District in their government. He
said he thinks they aided the
home rule bill, which already had
been approved in the Senate but
was awaiting hostile reaction in
the House District Committee.
Proposal Revived.
That home rule died last year
in the House. but the subject again
has been revived for consideration
by the 82d Congress.
Chairman Nicely said he will
invite spokesmen for all WASH
ington churches, every labor
union and all of the community
bodies.
Assignment Of Senators to
District subcommittee was settled
after some last-minute switching,
partly inspired by Chirman Nicely.
One result was that Chairman
Nicely will be one of the three
District Committeeman to serve
as ex-officio members of the Ap-
preparations Committee the group
in charge of the city's spending
program. The other two members
will be Senator Hunt, Democrat,
Of Wyoming, who served there in
the past Congress and Republican
Senator Duff of Pennsylvania,
former Governor of his State.
Smith Is a Member.
Senator Smith, Democrat, of
North Carolina is a member of
the District Fiscal subcommittee,
but he was omitted from the ex-
of1cio membership of the Appro-
priations Committee, since that
place was taken by Senator Nicely.
An explanation for this was that
appropriations originate on the
House side and Chairman Nicely
had served several terms as a
member of the House.
In another action at the Dis
trict Committee session late yes
terday, the group confirmed the
Republican selection of Mrs. Ar
lene Williams as the sole minority
party clerical assistant on the
committee staff. On motion by
Chairman Nicely, her salary was
placed at $5,1 She has had 10
years of previous Government
service here.

County Boards
Action Illegal,
Rucker Asserts
Manager Has Sole
Power to Name Chief
Attorney Declares

The Arlington County Boarc
acted illegally Saturday when il
abolished the county managers
power to appoint department
heads, commemorative Attorney
Denman T. Rucker said today.
Mr.. Rucker, in another state
ment, said that the manager
alone has the power to appoint
a new chief of police and that the
appointment must be made from
the membership of the police
force"
The boards resolution was
adopted by a 3-to-2 vote. Demo-
Gratis F. Freeland Chew and Alfred
E. Frisbie opposed it, Mr.. Chew
saying that it's adoption means
the setting up of a machine ]
would liken to the Huey Long re-
gime in Louisiana"
Code Held Ambiguous"
Mr. Rucker said that the sec
tion of the Virginia Code on which
the boards action was based is
ambiguous, vague and meaning
less" The managers appoint
ment power is all inclusive because
the administrative and executive
powers of the county are vested
in him.
After the resolution was passed,
Mr.. Dugan said that applicants
for the job of chief of police
should get in touch with the
manager, A. T. Lundberg. Maj.
Harry L. woodward, the present
police chief, is scheduled to re-
tire March /.
Mr.. Rucker said that the Coun-
ty Board cannot appoint the
chief of police. 1t is the man
datory duty of the County Man
ager to make this appointment.
refer you to the acts of the Gen
eral Assembly of 1916 and 1948."
Mr.. Rucker said the 1948 act
provides that "the county mana
ger shall from the membership of
the police force appoint a chief
of police who shall hold office at
the pleasure of the county mana
ger and whose duties shall be to
have supervision over and direct
the police department."
Views Advanced in Letters.
Mr.. Rucker announced his views
in letters to the county manager.
The Commonwealth attorney
said he was writing to Mr.. Lund-
berg with a view toward reliev-
ing a most chaotic state of af-
fairs" The action of the board
majority last Saturday, he added,
sis repugnant to the law, con-
trary to the will of the people
and must be corrected"
Among those being mentioned to
succeed Chief woodward are these
present members of the Arlington
force:
1t. Walter E. Bell, jr., 33, head
of the administrative bureau, who
has been in the department nine
years, mostly in administrative
work.
Capt. C. Burns Presley, AZ, as
sistant chief and head of the de-
tective bureau, a former State
trooper.
1t. John Sanders, As, in the de-
