an opposing bloc who said they

man Of the county's Legislative
delegation, and his client. Arm

Mr.. Wayson asked the board
for q beer. wine and liquor permit

Plank 10 Ease
Restrictions in
Hatch Act Asked
Virginia Democrats
Urge Political Role
For U. S. Employees
BY a stoff Correspondent Of The Star

ROANOKE. Va, July 18.-The
Democratic National Convention
will be asked to adopt a plank in
the party platform next week to
permit Federal Government en-
ployes to participate actively In
local political affairs.
A resolution adopted by the
Democratic State Convention here
yesterday asks the National Con-
vention in Chicago to approve the
plan, which would have an i'm
portant effect on the area near
Washington. Charles Harrison
Mann. former chairman of the
Arlington Democratic Executive
Committee, introduced the reso-
luton.
The Hatch Act-which forbids
such activity - discriminates
against Government employees, the
measure states, because it permits
them to engage in politics "onlyI
II they are in opposition to the
candidates Of either of the twol
political parties"
This policy encourages Govern
meIit workers to organize ''locali
third parties and helps to perpet-
uate the non-partisan fallacy,
thereby weakening the two-party
system" the resolution stated.
Magruder to Aid Campbell.
At the 10th district caucus pre-
ceding the convention, j. Maynard
Magruder of Arlington, promised
his support to Edmund Campbell,
also Of Arlington, who defeated
him in Tuesdays primary for the
House nomination. :,
Mr.. Magruder said he had read
newspaper accounts Of rumors
that some Democrats would vote
for the Republican candidate in
November because they were on
the losing side in the recent pri-
mary.
so far as I am concerned" Mr..
Magruder said, 1.-The rumors are
unfounded. ] am a loyal, long
time Democrat, who believes in
party unity"
Calls for Unity.
Mr.. Campbell had accused his
opponent of being the machine
candidate" but yesterday Mr.. Ma
gruder declared:
u now offer all that term i'm
plies in order that he may be
elected in November. 1t is essen
tial that we unite and get behind
the nominee"
State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick OF Arlington. chairman of the
10Th District caucus, had sup
ported Mr.. Magruder in the cam
paign. But in introducing Mr..
Campbell, Mr.. Fenwick declared
II place my whole-hearted sup
port behind him"
Mr.. Campbell said he appre-
ciated the expressions of support
and promised to do his best to |
represent all the people in the
10th District, if he is elected.

Alexandra and CAA
Committee Set Up 10
Solve Low Plane Fight

The City of Alexandria and the
Civil Aeronautics Administration
are ready to try again for peace
full settlement of the low-dying
airplane problem.
It was decided, at a meeting of
the Alexandria Council and CAA
officials yesterday. to set up joint
committee, dedicated to ironing
out the situation.
If that fails and planes continue
to zoom low above the city. the
council stands ready to carry its
case to Congress. Furthermore,
the city is going to keep an eye
on the status of litigation over a
,low-flying airplane ordinance in
Cedarhurst, N. Y, which recently
was held invalid. Alexandria has
a similar ordinance and plans to
carry the case to the Supreme
Court if Cedarhurst fails to do so.
Council Unanimous.
These stern words Of warning
were wrapped up in a resolution
offered by Councilman Franklin P.
Backus and adopted unanimously
by the council. The same resolu-
|tion provided for establishment of
the joint committee with the CAA.
Mayor Marshall j. Beverley said
other nearby Virginia commune
ties will be invited to have repre-
sentatives on the committee. He
named Councilmen Leroy S. Bend
helm, John j. Ewald, Mr.. Backus
and himself as the city's repre-
sentatives.
F. P. Lee. deputy CAA admins
traitor, said he will name repre-
lsentativeS to the committee
within a week or two. He was
enthusiastic about the committee
Idea and had even suggested a
|similar set-up before the council
adopted its resolution. He thought
the CAA and the city could CO.
operate in working out stricter
enforcement of traffic patterns.
"Our city has suffered a long
time from these low-flying air.
Iplanes," Mr.. Beverley said. "It
isn't just a matter Of noise. We
don't want the danger. This men
ace must be stopped. Human lives
come first. We don't want another
Elizabeth City"
Maj. Russell Hawes, superin-
|tendent of the Alexandria Police
Department, said he had received
Ia number of complaints about
low airplanes passing over the city.
He said he has noticed planes
turning sharply right after taking
of from Washington National
Airport.
Mr.. Lee said the least-used traf-
f1c pattern does pass over Alexan-
dria. He said it is used only when
there is a southwest wind.
Mr.. Bendheim said he believes
the CAA has worked out the best
possible traffic patterns for every
one concerned, but he does not
believe they are being enforced.
He said planes fly low over the
city during the best weather.
Asks Violations Check.
MIR. Beverley suggested that
agents from the CAA's Office of
aviation safety work with. Alex
andria police several days each
month, checking on violators Of
the traffic pattern.
Other aviation officials who at
tended the conference in the Alex
andria city hall included Col. Alan
Perkinson, director of aviation for
the Virginia State Corporation
Commission; Norman s. Elliott,
counsel for the sec; r. p. Boyle,
deputy counsel for the CAA; T. H.
Griffin, manager of Washington
National Airport, and about a
dozen other representatives from
the CAA, pilot and transport
groups.

City Considers Need
Of Emergency Space
In Completion Delays

Emergency school facilities for
some 400 Falls Church children
may be necessary this fall, despite
a contractors assurance that the
new George Mason High School
will be ready for use.
Spokesman for the B. & ]. Con-
Struction Co., builders of the
school. last night presented a ten
tative completion schedule to- the
school board. They said all class
rooms would be ready for use Sep
tember 8 when the school year be-
gins, but that the gymnasium and
some outside work would have to
be completed after that date.
To Study Possible Default.
School board members expressed
doubt, however. that the work
could be completed as scheduled
and called a special executive ses-
sion for 8 o'clock tonight to con-
slider possible default in tho
builders contract.
At tonight's meeting will be Of
flcials of the Fidelity & Deposit Co.
of Maryland, the company under
writing the builders construction
bond: architects who designed
the school; School Board mem
bers and City Attorney Lytton H.
Gibson.
There are three possibilities to
consider:
1. Allow the B. & J. Construc-
tion Co. to complete the project;
2. Give a seven-day notice of
termination Of contract and direct
the bonding company to take over
the remainder of construction;
8. Serve the termination notice,
then let the School Board name
new contractors or subcontractors
to finish the job and let the bond
ing concern pay the cost.
Complain of Many Delays.
Last night. board members again
complained about delays and re-
vision Of completion dates. Work
on the 100000 school at Lees
burg pike and Haycock road was
started early last year and was to
have been ready last fall, they
said. Since then. numerous de-
lays have cropped up and each
time the final completion date has
been set back. Two weeks ago, it
was listed at August IS.
Oliver j. Caldwell, vice chair.
man Of the board, said it was
simply a case of too big a Job
with too few men," He criticized
the builders for not using more
men on the project.
Board Member Richard L.
Saintsing said that If the present
construction rate is continued.
there's only one conclusion: Well
not be ready for the opening of
school,"
May Have to Rent Space.
Mr.. Saintsing said the School
Board already had given up its
leases on two buildings used for
school purposes in anticipation of
the opening of the George Mason
High School. He added 1t may
be necessary to take temporary
measures to insure there is space
for the school children until the
new school is complete.
The builders new completion
schedule ranged from August 10
for brick work to September 10
for painting. Plumbing and
electrical fixtures and interior
trim are slated to be ready by
September S. Completion of

Just Drop En- In The Ground
They Bloom Anywhere

These Holland Winter Flowers are
unlike any other flowers you have ever
seen before! They grow just as rapidly
in your garden as their wild ancestors
did in the mountains.
They're the toughest, hardest plants
you can grow. Imagine! They laugh at
winter. They virtually double in number
with each passing year. So where you
have hundreds of flowers this year
you'll see thousands of flowers year
after year. They require no gardening
skill, no work and no care. You don't
even need garden tools. Simply take a
kitchen spoon and dig a hole 2 to
inches deep-drop in bulb and fill up
the hole and finally stamp on it!
That's all there is to it. You need
never again lift a finger to care for these
flowers. Yet beginning this winter anc
every other winter to follow, you'll SCI

From the land of the frozen tundra, they

To overcome the cold, these flowers
grew so few and so small they looked
wonderful on a mountainside but
not in a garden. And because of the
warmer European climate some would
not bloom at all.

each other for the honor of producing

bulbs. If one grower produced flowers
