as likely to break the monotony
for moviegoers as it does for the

Dispute Urged

ColIed DisrespectfuI
Of Courts Decision

A petition asking that Robert w.
Cox. Arlington County Board
chairman, be cited for contempt
Of court. was filed yesterday by
Attorney John Locke Green.
Mr.. Green filed the complaint in
the Arlington Circuit Court. He
alleges that Mr.. Cox has made
statements "inciting and exciting
the public to have a conteinptuous
attitude and manner toward the
decision of this court"
Acts for Six TAXPAYERS.
The complaint was by Mr.. Green
as attorney for six taxpayers, who
filed the suit to remove Alan L.
Dean, a Federal employe, from the
County Board. Circuit Court
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy ruled
In favor Of Mr.. Green's clients on
May 5, but an appeal was filed and
viii be heard by the State Court of
Appeals early next month.
A copy of newspaper story
published Thursday was attached
to the petition. The story reported
remarks made by Mr.. Cox at a
meeting of the Harrington Civic
Association Wednesday night and
said he had addressed numerous
other civic meetings. He COM
mented on effects of the courts
ruling.
Mr.. Green said he accompanied
the petition with an order that
Mr.. Cox be directed to show cause
why he should not be held in con-
tempt. If the court signs the or
der, a hearing on the charge
would ensue.
Denies Disresect Intended.
When advised of the suit by a
reporter. Mr.. Cox said:
Il have intended no disrespect
to the court; but if to disagree
with judges ruling constitutes
contempt, then I am guilty. How
ever, even if the courts hold that
Federal employees are barred from
local Office in Virginia, believe
the Constitution will still protect
their freedom of speech"
The complaint declares that re-
marks and speeches made by Mr..
Cox "go far beyond the rights
and privileges of expression and
free speech"
Mr.. Cox is Federal employe
and apparently would be ineligible
to continue on the County Board
II Judge McCarthy's decision were
upheld. A third board member,
Daniel A. Dugan, elected when he
was a Government employe but
now privately employed, also might
be affected by the decision.
Ruling Based on Old Law.
Judge Mccarthy based his find-l
ing on an old Virginia law pro-
hibiting Federal employees from
holding local or State Office in
Virginia.
Earlier Mr.. Cox said his remarks
ut the darlington meeting were
misinterpreted. He said he did
tell the group he had attended
about Is meetings since the courts
decision, but he said most of the
meetings were unrelated to the
controversial issue.
Donald M. Murtha, president of
the darlington group. introduced
Mr.. Cox, saying he had been in
vited to explain effects of the
ruling. It was he who first said
Mr.. Cox had been to Is meetings
since the court ruled on the Fed
eral employe question.
