The man without a country
might forget his grief If he knew
of the plight of Richard D. Boyle,
who is taxed by two counties and
isn't sure where he lives.
Neither are the assessors of
Montgomery and Prince Georges,
both Of whom have levied on Mr..
|Boyle's farm near Laurel because
sections of the boundary line be-
tween the two counties have be-
come obscure.
The situation came to light yes
terday when the Prince Georges
Commissioners were told that
Montgomery assessed the 26-acre
tract in the Brooklyn Bridge road
area this year after Mr.. Boyle sold
Ia small parcel to the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission.
The commission recorded it's deed
in Montgomery when surveyors
held that the property is in that
subdivision.
Refused to Remove Levy.
Prince Georges Assessor Louis
w. Kutsch and the county heads
refused to remove their levy and
the commissioners ordered that
no such releases be granted in the
future except under court order or
new legislation.
That ended long standing

Movie Houses Ask Change
In Two-0perators Rule

II Motion picture theater operators
have asked the Commissioners to
remove from the police regulations
a requirement that two licensed
operators be on duty in a projec-
ton booth during the showing
of a film.
The theater operators contend
that, with the safety features of
projection equipment and new
type film. the necessity for hav-
ing two operators is gone.
The city heads were told that
business is bad and theaters are
fighting to keep their doors open.
Elimination of one man from the
projection booth would save
money, they pointed out.
At the request of Ralph Grimes,
business manager of Local 224,
Motion Picture Operators Union,
who said he had been told of
yesterdays meeting only Monday,
the city heads agreed to hear the
unions side later.

Butler.
In charge of one of the build

duct of the men had improved
greatly since beer was introduced,
He hadn't put a single man in the

Crossing Danger Cited.
The danger of crossing busy

Ran|speck Hits
Enp|oye Smears
In Business Talk
Personnel Recruiting
Endangered, Trade
Executives Told

Chairman Robert Ramspeck Of
the Civil Service Commission to-
day urged business to take the
lead in beating back the bar
rage Of loose talk about the Gov
|ernment and its employees"
In speech before the Wash
ington Trade Association Execu-
tives at the Mayflower Hotel, Mr..
Ramspeck said business has the
largest stake in the Nations de-
fense, and therefore should do
everything it can to combat the
smears that hamper Government
recruiting for the national emer-
gency program.
The commission chief scored
idisparagement of Government
functions and personnel as cost
ly and unbusinesslike."
Discounts Political Aspects.
Emphasizing that this was not
a political problem but one cut
ting party lines. Mr.. Ramspeck
declared:
None of you could operate your
business without trusting your
employees. Neither can the Gov
ernment. The efficiency, improved
service and greater economy we
all want will be forthcoming from
civil servants precisely in propor-
ton to the pride and tradition we
are willing to invest in them.
Government needs business
thinking and business leadership
not second-string or second
team men. This is the big game
we're playing, not a warm-up
scrimmage. the outcome of which
is unimportant to our team, of
which Government and business
are equally vital members"
The commission chief said IL
was perfectly proper that the ac-
tlvity Of Government should be
conducted in goldfish bowl"
However, he said, indiscriminate
smearing of Government and its
employees makes it almost impos-
slb|e to find the high type of pub
lie servant who is needed today.
Need Thick Skins.
For this type of person to enter
Government today. they must
come equipped with extraordinary
thick SKINS" Mr.. Ramspeck
quipped.
TO staff Government positions
with the highest type of workers,
we first must beat back the bar
rage Of loose talk and eliminate
the bitterness of misunderstand-
ing that is abroad in our land to-
day." Mr.. Ran1speck said.
I'VE must put an end to the
demagogic practice of exploiting
this area of emotion which results
IN dlsparagement of Government
and its employees. We must dis
continue. as a matter of moral
principle, the subversion of Amer
ican principles of fair play. We
must reject destructive tactics and
return to the constructive con-
cepts which made our country
great"

BusIine Move 10 Bar
Arlington Board From
Tokens Hearing Fails

An attempt to bar the Arlington
County Board from participating
in an Interstate Commerce Com
mission hearing involving aban-
doning the use of tokens on the
Arnold Bus Lines failed today.
1CC Examiner J. j. Williams
overruled a motion by the COM
pany's counsel to bar the board
from participating in the hearing.
The attorney. S. Harrison
Kahn. unsuccessfully argued that
the Board as a political unit has
no interest in the proceedings and
no standing before the Commits
sion.
Calls Argument Irrelevant.
The Arlington County Board is
represented at the hearing by At
torneys Malcolm D. Miller and
Gerald Glassman.
Mr.. Miller argued that Mr.
Kahn's contentious were irrele-
want. The ICC has long per-
mitted bodies polite to appear be-
fore it to protect the interests of
their citizens. Mr.. Miller con-
tended.
After Mr.. Williams overruled
the company's motion, Mr.. Kahn
declared that the tokens are less
than the cash fare found reason
able by the ICC. He contended
that there is no proposal for an
increase in fares, as such. The
lawyer argued that the only Dues
ton is whether the elimination of
tokens is reasonable and proper.
Williams States Issue.
The first witness for the Wash
ington. Virginia & Maryland
Coach Co.. (Arnold Lines) was
its executive vice president and
general manager. Bernard Wahle.
He recounted his experience In
public transportation.
Examiner Williams announced
at the start of the hearing. that
cancellation Of tokens and ticket
fares of the company between
washington and suburban points
IN this area is the issue.
He pointed out that the COM
pany's tariff sought to have tok-
ems dropped by October /. But
because there were objectors, the
1CC has suspended the operation
of the new tariff until April 30.

Lynch and Supervisors
Elected by Democrats
In Fairfax County

Reelection Of Delegate Edwin
Lynch and 100 per cent control
of the Board of Supervisors by the
Democrats are the highlights of
the Fairfax County Falls Church
'balloting yesterday.
Republicans. in fact. failed to
make single inroad in the vot-
ing in Fairfax. The winners, for
the most part, however. are iden-
tif1ed with the anti-organization
wing Of the Democratic Party.
Mr.. Lynch received a total of
5,140 votes to 1927 for Douglas
A. Clark, Republican, in the House
|of Delegates race in the Fairfax
Falls Church district. Mr.. Lynch
received 4,476 votes in the county
and 664 in Falls Church, while
Mr.. Clark polled 3,460 county
votes and 367 city votes.
Their campaigns were climaxed
in the closing days by a dispute
over the Burke Airport site. Mr..
Lynch said his opponent lied when
he accused Mr.. Lynch of buying
property in the airport area with
the idea of making a profit from
the Government.
Cross Suits Pending.
Each has sued the other for
slander as result of the charges.
In the State Senate race be-
tween John A. K. Donovan and
Nathan J. Paulson. Republican,
the county gave Mr.. Donovan
5.04S votes to 2,S03 for his op-
ponent. Falls Church gave the
Democrat 662 votes and the Re-
publican 342.
Both Mr.. Lynch and Mr.. Dono-
van campaigned for Francis Pick
ems Miller in an anti-organization
campaign for Governor two years
ago.
Newcomer Is Victorious.
The supervisors race saw three
Iincumbents-one without opposi-
tion-returned to Office. But the
most smashing defeat was de-
livered by newcomer. Mrs. Anne
Wilkins. in the county's populous
Falls Church District. After de-
feating an old-line Democrat,
c. B. Runyon, in the Democratic
primary, she sailed ahead yester-
day to defeat Paul A. Lain, Inde-
pendent, by resounding 1888 to

LOS ANGELES, Nov. IA = R = That hardy, muscle -throated speci- men of sports, the fight fan. moved closer to the usual hedlam today as Champion Jimmy Carter of New York and challenger Art Aragon of Los Angeles prepared to enter the ring at the Olympic Auditorium tonight to battle for the world light weight title.
 Cal Eaton, promoter of the 15- round attraction, remained confi- dent that all or most of the arenas 10,400 seats would be sold, with the patrons digging deep for seats ranging in price from S20 to $5.
 The nations television fans. ex- cluding the Southern California blacked-out area, will see it for free.
