Holl Plans 10 Tap
Grass Roots for D. {.
Reorganization Ideas

When William K. Holl takes
over as the Districts management
officer. he intends going to the
grass roots of the Government
agencies for many of his reorgan-
ization ideas.
The 40-year-old Arlingtonian,
new executive officer Of the Fed
eral Communications Commission,
will be sworn in on September
20. His new post. created as part
OF the General Administration
Department under the District
Government reorganization pro-
gram, places his in direct charge
|of consolidating scores of exist
ing agencies into a streamlined
operation.
Shortly after his appointment
was announced yesterday by the
District Commissioners. Mr.. Holl
told reporters Of his immediate
aims. They are simple and eau
tious.
"It will be matter Of consult
ing the people in the Government,
getting things down on paper and
then pulling together the depart
ments that need it," he said.
Similar Task in FEC.
This Is the way it was in q
reorganization. not too long ago,
of the FEC. Mr.. Holl played an
important part in that project,
too.
His purpose, now as before, Mr..
Holl said. is to get all the facts
and ideas he can from the peo-
pie who are closest to them.
II believe in getting the ideas
of the people who are actually
working il their field guess
you'd call that manipulating" he
went on.
The new official said he expects
to conduct management surveys
based on that premise.
No "Oracle" Reports.
"And my reports will not be the
sarcastic type" he said. II abhor
the superior. supercilious. holier-
than-thou type of report-the
kind that sounds as if it comes
from an oracle on high"
A lot Of brilliant management
reports have been written before,
he said.
But If the guy right at the
bottom is not given his say, such
reports would have best gone UNI
written" Mr.. Holl declared. The
only approach for his part, he
added. is to work under General
Administration Director Schuyler
Lowe and the Commissioners.
land with. not on" the depart
mental workers.
Speaking Of possible accomplish
ments. Mr.. Holl said that, quite
likely. the improvements he may
decide are necessary ARE those
that most people feel should have
been made long ago."
Plans Small Staff.
Mr.. Hol said he plans to oper-
ate his Office with the smallest
staff possible. to avoid unwieldli-
ness. He plans also to build his
staff Slowly and carefully"
Management, after all, is not
"a matter Of magic. but a lot of
hard work and common sense" he
emphasized.
Mr.. Holl is veteran of II years
in Federal Government service.
Born in Richland Center. Wis. he
was graduated from the Univer-
|sity Of Wisconsin with a business
administration degree and later
became a certified public ac-
countant.

Fairfax Circuit Judge Pau
Brown yesterday turned down his
plea to be reinstated to the Office

Mr.. Moore defeated Mr.. Nichols
for the term beginning September

held the Office for two terms. Mr.
Moore took the oath of Office or
September 2 because September

the oath on or before the first day
Fof his new term.

Proposed Arlington Blvd.
Bridge Connection Opposed

The Fort Myer Heights Citizens
Association last night protested
connecting of the proposed new
Potomac River bridge with Arling-
ton boulevard.
In an Executive Committee re-
port submitted to the association
by L. F. Deming, secretary, pref
erence was voiced for a previous
plan that would connect the pro-
posed E street bridge with Wilson
boulevard.
The committee felt the Arling-
ton boulevard plan would only
make a bad traffic condition worse.
The report was accepted by the
association.
Later Delegate j. Maynard Ma
gruder, Democrat, talking on the
proposed Incorporation of Arling-
ton, said the voter will have to
make a serious choice on the No
vember 4 referendums. He must
balance the increased taxing,
franchising and annexing powers
OF an incorporated city against
the loss Of an estimated $500, 900
a year in State grants and the
increased liability a city would
assume, he pointed out.
Beulah Goss presided over the
session. The meeting was held in
the Woodrow Wilson School, 1901
Wilson boulevard.

commented that the case almost
has reached the point of being

Judge Brown made it clear in
announcing his decision that he
specifically was denying Mr..
