Gary Says General
Is Playing Politics: ::
By the Associated Press

Representative j. Vaughan Gary.
Democrat, Of Virginia. said yester-
day Gen. Eisenhower was playing
politics when he promised the
letter carriers union more frequent
mail delivery service.
The Republican presidential
candidate. addressing the biennial
convention of the National Asso-
citation of Letter Carriers in New
York Monday, said If elected he
would indorse more frequent de-
liveries of mail.
Gen. Eisenhower's bid for votes
with the letter carriers is another
example of Republican double talk
on economy" Mr.. Gary. chairman
of the House Treasury and Post
Office subcommittee, said in a
statement.
Mr.. Gary said his committee
recommended cutting back on a
number of postal services in order
to reduce the $500 million deficit
under which the Post Office De-
partment has been operating.
One curtailment opposed by the
letter carriers union was reducing
mail deliveries from two to one q
day. Gen. Eisenhower said ef-
ficiency called for a resumption of
two-a-day deliveries.
"The restoration of these serv-
ices," Mr.. Gary said, would add
10000 new employees to the Post
Office payroll and would cost the
taxpayers $3.50 million a year."

completely unofficial diagnosis
of the condition of Presidential
candidates was attempted by
former United States Senator
Henry F. AshurSt of Arizona here
today at a picnic attended, among
others, by members of the Alfalfa
Club of Washington.
Tall and erect, on the eve of
his 18th birthday, the man who
used to entertain the upper
chamber seemed to have lost none
of his wit as measured by audi
ence reaction.
Dressed in a white suit carrying
a heavy stick, he advanced to the

log cabin of DR.. Edward P. Thomas
on the ridge of Braddock Heights,
west of Frederick, to address the
picnickers.
"Presidentialitis."
With a deferential reference to
his host, a Frederick physician
and surgeon, Mr.. Ashurst offered
to outline some of the symptoms
of the worst disease that can
attack the politician. ''presiden-
tialitiS."
Irritability was the first of the
symptoms, he said.
Thirst was the second one in
his tabulation.

Chief Repoirmon at Capitol
Does Same Work at VA Project

But he said he and his aides in
most cases are making repairs
without any argument"
The decorative tops of prefabri-
Gated chimneys in some cases
weren't fastened to the roof
properly. Kitchen floors weren' t
sufficiently braced for washing
machines. Roof sheathing in
some instances wasn't cut of
properly, so leaks occurred.
"At the time they were built,
one of the things very hard to
get was flooring" Mr.. Prell said.
So beech was substituted in some
instances for specified oak-With
VA approval. New floors have
had to be put in.
The edges of some basement
floors had to be resealed to keep
them dry. The original sealing
in some cases was defective, the
builder said.
Some houses have had as many
as five or six minor complaints.
But some haven't been COM
planned about at all, said Mr..
Prell.
"Structually there hasn't been
too much wrong" he declared.
Mr.. Meadows supported this.
Sales sucered temporarily from
the unfavorable publicity, Mr..
Prell said. Last Sunday, he added,
when the league report was pub
lished, the development was over
run but with curiosity seekers, "
not buyers. But he predicted
there won't be any trouble selling
the remaining houses, all of which
should be done by January.
One group of present owners,
however, has pressed law suits
against Mr.. Weiss. The VA is
keeping hands off those cases, and
Mr.. Weiss isn't making repairs on
those houses pending outcome of
the suits, Mr.. Meadows said.

0riole Bus Service Gu
As Line Loses Some
Coaches in Dispute

Service on the Oriole Motor
Coach Co. Washington suburban
line in nearby Maryland was in
terrupted yesterday when some Of
its buses were taken off the runs
by the A. c. F. Brill Co. of Phila-
delphia, bus manufacturers.
Accounts differ as to why Brill
stepped in and seized the buses.
The Oriole spokesman said the
trouble arose over failure of Brill's
buses to measure up to standard.
c. w. Perelle, president of the
Brill Co.. denied the buses were
not up to standard.
"Oriole is seven months behind
in its payments" Mr.. Perelle de-
clared. THE buses were repos-
sessed for the protection of the
Brill Co."
c. A. Sharpe, Brill vice president
in charge Of production. asserted
that Oriole failed to maintain
parts properly and then did not
have the money to pay for new
parts.
Requirements Expected.
Requirements are in sight for
the seized buses, the Oriole spokes-
man declared. He explained that
four buses have been leased from
National Tours in Baltimore be-
cause they have Maryland license
plates and are now in service on
Orioles lines.
Further. up to IA buses are
being secured from the Lynch
burg Transit Co., Lynchburg, Va.
They were expected to arrive over
the week end, but need to be
licensed in Maryland and the
District to carry passengers in
this area.
The trouble first arose on Fri
day when some homegoing pas
sengers were left stranded for
want of Oriole transportation.
Oriole said yesterday there was
"a slight interruption in service,
but we hope to have it Strengthened
out without delay and give addi-
tional service in a day or two"
Manager Took Over in May.
Chester Hawkins is Orioles new
manager. He came here during
the latter part of May from Burl-
ington, N. c. He has had some 30
years in the bus business.
The Oriole spokesman said Brill
owes his company substantial sums
of money "for failure of its equip
ment to perform within reasonable
standards. He denied the bus
seizure was a repoSsession move.
He explained Oriole has had con-
siderable difficulty with the 1896
buses, which it has had
for a little more than two years.
While Attorney Manuel j. Davis
was seeking an amicable settle
ment of the controversy, negoti-
ating with Brill's lawyers, the
manufacturing firm suddenly
stepped into Silver Spring and
Ice picked up the equipment. the
Oriole spokesman asserted.
He made it clear that there is
not a shutdown and service is not
being abandoned on the Oriole
lines.
Oriole has fleet of about Is
buses. It operates lines from Beth |
esda via Silver Spring to College
Park; has a terminal at Georgia
and Eastern avenues; operatesI
from Silver Spring to Olney vial
and also operates toI

Citizens Ask Bondinq
Of All Persons Who
Handle Solicited Funds

The Federation of Citizens AS
sociations yesterday asked that
all benevolent organizations So
liciting funds from the public
bond employees who handle funds.
This request came from the
federation's executive board as the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
continued it's search for $50, 500
and a bookkeeper, both missing
from the Boys Club of Washing
ton. Revelation of the missing
funds came last Thursday.
Resolution Adopted
Mrs. Edward B. Morris, secre-
tary of the federation, said the
executive board adopted this reso-
luton:
ITO prevent the misappropria-
ton of funds contributed by the
public for benevolent purposes,
the Federation believes the
Boards of Directors of all agencies
responsible for solicitation of
funds should thoroughly investi-
gate all personnel having access
to funds and such persons should
be bonded or the funds otherwise
secured by a guaranty which
would be the responsibility of the
Boards of Directors"
Mrs. Morris said the resolution
was passed as an expression OF the
feeling of the public toward the
situation revealed in the Boys
Club case.
Bookkeeper Not Bonded.
The missing bookkeeper, James
H. Kinsey, So, of 1856 Otis place
NV, was not bonded, Boys Club
officials said after the shortage
was discovered. Kinsey dissap-
peared August 10 but the news did
not leak out until last week.
Boys Club officials said en-
ployes handling money would be
bonded Immediately.
Washington police, not told of
the missing money, were still look
ing for Kinsey and a missing car
he is supposed to have rented the
day he disappeared. The FBI
asked the police to locate the car.
Mrs. Kinsey asked police to search
for her husband but didn't men
ton the money matter in her re-
quest to them. I
Boys Club officials took the
case directly to the United States
Attorneys Office where the FB1
was called in. Local police still
have no complaint about the miss
ing money.

Arlington Board Vote,
For Return Of Rent
Control in County
By WiIIiom J. EIvin

The non-partisan majority on
the Arlington County Board, in
what may have been their swan
song. voted 3 to / yesterday to
ask President Truman to reim-
pose rent control in the county.
At the climax of a dramatic
meeting, Board Member Alan l..
Dean, weakened by a serious chest
operation and a severe illness,
Joined Chairman Robert w. Cox
and Daniel A. Dugan in voting
for the proposal. Robert A. Peck,
Republican voted against the
measure and Alfred E. Frisbie, a
Democrat, abstained from voting.
Yesterdays meeting may have
been the last for the non-partisans
because an opinion is expected
Wednesday from the State Su-
preme Court in the Dean Case. !"
The court is expected to decide
whether Federal employees may
legally hold local Office.
3 May Be Ousted.
Both Mr.. Dean and Mr.. Cox are
Federal employees, and Mr.. Dugan
was a Government worker at the
time of his election. Attorneys for
both sides believe all three would
be ousted BY decision against
Mr.. Dean.
The suit was brought by John
Locke Green, former County trea-
surer. in behalf of six citizens.
Arlington Circuit Judge Walter
T. Mccarthy upheld Mr.. Green's
contention. and attorneys for Mr..
Dean appealed to the State court.
A decision is expected on Wednes-
day while the court is convening
at Staunton.
Mr.. Dean violated doctors orders
by staying at the Courthouse yes
terday for nearly six hours. He
said he is permitted to be up for
only two hours at a stretch.
Two Votes Taken.
The board took two votes. One
action under provisions of Public
Law 96 passed by Congress last
year, asks the President to re-
impose controls until September
80. The second vote asks continu-
alton of controls to April 80. 1858.
The board adopted a proposal by
Mr.. Dugan that the Office of Rent
Sterilization maintain current
rents but refrain from ordering
any rollback, except in extreme
cases. Mr.. Cox abstained from
voting on this suggestion, Mr..
Dean voting against it.
Mr.. Dean said the rent control
law provides that rents may
amount to 100 per cent of rents in
effect when controls were abol-
ished. Arlington had rent control
during World War II and until
June Is, 1850, when it was dropped
as required by an act of the Vir-
ginia General Assembly.

Ine man VINO SUPERVISED renOVa-
ton of the House and Senate is
directing repairs at an East River
dale CMd) housing development
criticized by congressional probers.
The development is Templeton
Knolls. Building superintendent
there now is Lewis C. Prell, who
worked directly under Capitol
Architect David Lynn for two
years rebuilding the two legislative
chambers.
Mr.. Prell was hired by Marcel
Weiss, Templeton Knolls developer,
in May to take over completion
of the 300-unit community. That
was when the House committee
headed by Representative league,
Democrat, of Texas, checked into
complaints of EXCL home pur-
chases there.
1000 Repairs Made.
Since then between 1000 and
l 200 repairs have been made, Mr..
Prell said last night. More remain
to be done, and two men are work.
ing full ltime completing them, he
added.
Fifty-four of the developments
800 semidetached two-family
houses still are unfinished. The
rest-even some of those un-
finished-have been sold.
Mr.. Prell wasn't responsible for
the discrepancies criticized -
which included bad floors leaky
roofs improperly installed CHM
neys inadequate insulation and
erosion. His job has been to clean
it up.
Last Friday Oliver E. Meadows,
staff director of the league COM
mittee, visited the development
and praised the work being done.
He said he found substantial
progress on repairs. and also said
the unfinished houses would meet
most of the committees COM
plants.
eff they had had someone like
Prell in the first place." Mr..
Meadows told a reported, ''they
wouldn't have gotten in the
trouble they did"
Blame Put on VA.
A lot of the trouble, however,
wasn't actually the builders fault,
added the committee official.
Many of the faults came from the
Veterans Administration letting
him do things they shouldn't
have, or failing to check up ade-
'quately."
He cited heating systems as
an example. They were put in
as the VA authorized them
and it wasn't till the complaints
came in that anybody realized
they were inadequate. he said.
MIR. Meadows said complaints
are still coming in, and MIR. Prell
admitted this.
"Some are reasonable, said the
superintendent. Some aren't"
He said most of the veteran
home who obtained their
homes with Veterans Administra-
ton assistance, expect lot. )"
