Two Palisades Issues
Split, Unite Group

The Palisades Citizens Associa-
ton hit the extremes of unity and
discord last night in its discussion
OF two issues-a proposed liquor
store location in that community, :,
and the Fire Department racial
1ntegration issue.
The association members, sue
cessful so far in keeping liquor
establishments out of the area.
spoke unanimously for denial by
the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board of the petition of Sidney
and Ruth Feldman to sell LIQUOR
at 5104 Macarthur boulevard NV
Board hearings on the license
transfer request will come up later
this month.
Mr.. Feldman, in a letter to the
Palisades group, stated that liquor
competition where his present
store is located is too keen to en-
able him to support his wife and
two sons and meet other obliga-
tions.
But when the proposed fire de-
partment integration appeared on
the agenda, Palisades citizens dis
agreed bitterly. Fire Capt. Curtis
McGhee who is chairman of the
local Firemen's Association segre-
cation committee, as well as a past
president Of the Palisades group.
entered a strong plea for associa-
ton support of the firemen's anti
mtegration stand.
LioneT v. Murphy and William

fight to have the issue tabled. After

Fairfax Redistrictinu
Pushed After Decision
In Annexation Suits

Redistricting of Fairfax County
ts being pushed, now that final
decisions have been announced in
the Alexandria and Falls Church
annexation suits.
A Seven-member commission
appointed by the Circuit Court last
March to rearrange the county's
magisterial districts postponed its
deliberations until it was definite
how much territory Fairfax would
retain after annexation.
John w. Rust, former State
Senator who is chairman of the
commission, said work would be
resumed Immediately and he pro-
posed to call a meeting next week.
Public Hearings Planned.
After the commission works out
some redistricting proposals, Mr..
Rust said, public hearings will be
held.
The boundaries established by
the redistricting commission are
final, until the court sees fit to
authorize new redistricting.
Fairfax County now has six
magisterial districts. There has
never been a redistricting since
the magisterial boundaries were
established in 1874.
Odd Number Is Urged.
Petitioners who appeared at the
court hearing when the commits
sion was established urged that
an odd number of magisterial dis
trictS be created. This would elm
mate the necessity for a court
appointed tie-breaker, who casts
the deciding votes whenever the
siX-member Board of Supervisors
reaches a deadlock. Each magis-
terial district is represented by
one supervisor.
In addition to rearranging the
magisterial district boundaries if
1t sees fit, the commission also will
have to fix new precinct bound
aries.
Serving with Mr.. Rust on the
commission are Mrs. Elizabeth D.
Vernon, Lewis S. Travis, George |
c. Landrith, Carl L. Marshall, |

son, jr.

Americans who visit our parks

PARK CAREER MAN
Arthur e. Demaray Retires
After 48 Years Service

TINE SUMMER of 1903
l. dragged on in Wash
ington much the same as
many summers before, and
for most folks June IL was
just another day.
President Theodore RooSe-
welt held a cabinet meeting
that day, but Secretary of
War Root didn't bother to
attend.
The weather was unusually
cool, with temperatures in the
70S and perhaps that had
brought about the sales of
mems summer suits for as
little as SIS and ladies white
waists" for 88 cents. Butter
was advertised for $l.5O-for
a 5-pound box.
Then, as now, the city had
growing pains. The popula-
ton had jumped to nearly
800, 900 and the District Com
miSSionerS were discussing
widening Fourteenth street
NV. to provide parking space,
as more and more autos
chugged along the streets.
The welfare people were
concerned over public play
grounds and the Mats were
in a familiar Spot-laSt place
in the American League.
But it was not a routine day
for Arthur E. Demaray, On
the contrary, it was a red
letter day for him. Just past
16 years old, he went to work
as a messenger in the Geo
logical Survey, Interior De-
partment. Because of neceS-
sity rather than choice, he
had dropped out of Mckinley
High School to take the six
day-a week, $480-a-year job.
Yesterday, after 48 years of
continuous Government serv-
ice. he retired.
When he closed his desk
Friday and the final round of
good-byS was over. he laid
aside the title of director of
the National Park Service.
Tomorrow, the job will be
taken over by Conrad L.
Wirth, who has been with the
department 20 years and who

comes from an "old park
family" Mr.. Wirth'S father
was superintendent of the
Minneapolis City parks for
many years; his brother
Walter is director of PennSyl-
vania's State parks and his
son Theodore is with the
Kentucky State parks.
Mr.. Demaray was with the
Geological Survey IA years
years of hard work and night
school and self-education to
make up for the classes he
had missed. Eventually, he
became a craftsman, and
there was a steady stream of
promotions and considerable
travel.
In 1917, he moved over to
the fledgling Park Service
where, he says, there were
better opportunities for young
people.
He went there as a topo-
graphic craftsman and, as
time fitted by-yearS of war
and peace, prosperity and
depreSSion-it was the same
story From a craftsman he
became editor. then admins
trative officer, senior admin
istrative officer, executive of
ficer, associate director and,
last April, director.
Mr.. Demaray was born here
in 1887 when his father was
secretary to a Minnesota
Senator. The family went
back home" for a few years,
but returned in 1895 when his
father took a job in the
Treasury Department.
He still was with the Geo
logical Survey as a struggling
craftsman when he and Al
frida Briggs married. They
now live in Chevy Chase.
Their daughter Elise lives in
Tucson. Ariz.. the first stop on
their first retirement trip.
When Mr.. Demaray went
to the Park Service, it was
operating fewer than so
parks. 1t now has more than
l80. Its 1917 appropriation
was $780,000. Its last one
exceeded $24 million
