LEGISLATORS Marble Buthtub
Gives Way to Recording Studio

| Demand for recordings, and mo-
tion pictures has become SO great.
Mr.. Coar explained, that more
space became necessary than is
available for the facility on the
fifth floor of the House Office
Building. Senators record from
studios in the Senate Office
Building.
| Looking forward to the new
studios and laboratories in the
new location, Mr.. Coar says three
of the latest type of Is millimeter
sound motion picture cameras
have been purchased with profits
from previous operations. One al
ready has arrived, and the other
two will be here this month. Each
is equipped to operate continu-
ously for IS minutes without
interruption.
These are to be used soon in
making about 10 political mo-
ton pictures in color for use in
campaigns this fall. -.
These pictures, according to
Mr.. Coar, a veteran of Hollywood
and television experience, will
include such documentary films
as Mt. Vernon. Lincoln, Arlington
Cemetery memorials, Government
buildings, the White House, FBI,
Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing, House and Senate and the
Supreme Court.
| Series Ready Soon.
To be shown also throughout
the country soon under sponsor
ship of the lawmakers will be a
series of interviews made during
the closing days of the recent
session.
Mr.. Coar himself participates in
many of the recordings as an in
terviewer of a legislator. He has
letters of commentator from
some lawmakers praising the use
of messages as a major factor in
winning an election.
;. In addition to studio space
there will be basement quarters
in the House Office Building for
Laboratory work. There films will
be processed, printed and edited
Construction work already has
started in this space.
j Capper Was First.
;. Looking back to his early days
in Washington about 18 years
ago. Mr.. Coar recalled that the
) first member of Congress fol
whom he recorded a speech was
the late Senator Capper, Republi-
can, of Kansas, former chairman
of the Senate District Committee
The lawmaker was a witness al
a hearing by the FEC, where Mr.
Coar, then in business for him.

ToAppea| Court
Parking Ruling
| Votes ; to z to
Fight Change on
New Building

The Arlington County Board
last night voted to appeal court
ruling modifying off-street park
ing requirements for owners of an
Office building under construction
near the courthouse.
The board voted to employ Karl
Sorg, Arlington attorney, to file
the appeal. after Commonwealth
Attorney William j. Hassan re-
iterated an earlier statement that
he would not advise an appeal.
Circuit Court Judge William
%. Medley. in a ruling on July IL,
eased restrictions of q coming ex-

Board of Zoning Appeals. The ap-
lpeals board had agreed to permit

ing, Inc.
Green Appeals.
The appeals board said six Of
the spaces would have to be pro-
lvided on the site. at 1435 North
Veitch street, and IA more in the
vicinity under a five-year lease
arrangement. The court modi-
fled this to provide eight at the
site and IA in the vicinity, but
with only an 18-month lease.
John Locke Green. an officer
OF the company building the Of
flee structure, appealed to court
on the ground his constitutional
rights to free use of his property
were denied by the zoning re-
strictions.
The decision to appeal was ap-
proved by a 3-to-2 vote, with
Board Chairman Robert w. Cox
and members Alan L. Dean and
Daniel A. Dugan voting for the
appeal and members Alfred E.
Frisbie and Robert Peck voting
against it.
Legislation Charged.
The action followed a statement
by Joseph Ingram, member of the
County Planning Commission,
that the decision of the court
amounted to exercise of legisla-
tive power. He said the Virginia
Constitution provides for separa-
tion of legislative and judicial
powers.
Mr.. Hassan said he feels an
appeal based on the Office build
ing case would not settle all of
the questions involved. He said
he is not convinced the question
Of constitutionality is involved.

Alexandra Swimming Pool
Reopens as Water Clears

The Alexandria municipal poc2
was reopened today after a weeks
closing because of murky water.
Recreation Director Eugene
Barnwell said the reopening was
on trial basis, and it might be
necessary to keep bathers in the
shallow end of the pool.
He said guards were instructed
to keep a close watch on the water
so the deep end can be restricted
at any time when it becomes
impossible to see the bottom.
The condition is believed caused
by a reaction between chemicals
put in the water - city water
lpurification and chemicals added
at the pool-plus algae growth in
the water system.
