firebug is operating in the Glass

hour. Damage was estimated at

Virginia Council Sifts
Action 10 Speed Up
State Hospital Move
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Nov. 28.-The
Virginia Advisory Legislative
Council will meet here next
Tuesday to consider what action
the State can take-if any-on
an offer made, and then with
drawn, by Colonial Williamsburg
to advance some $23 million to
speed the move of Eastern State
Hospital from Williamsburg to
nearby Dunbar.
The 11-man VALC also is ex-
pected to review six or seven
special reports up for considera-
ton and final action. Results of
their studies will go to Gov.
Battle for transmission to the
1854 General Assembly.
Toughest Job on Agenda.
The Williamsburg m a tie er
shapes up as the toughest prob
lem on the VALC agenda-and
the one offering the least pros
pect for early or amicable settle
ment.
On the surface, the council
has nothing left to consider un-
less some way is found to break
the deadlock between Colonial
William and Mary over ultimate
control of 207 acres of land or
Williamsburg and the college o1
which the hospital now is loca-
ted.
The board of visitors of the
college, which holds a deed to
the land, declared in an October
II resolution its complete and
unalterable opposition" to trans
fer of all or any part Of the land
to ANY person, firm or corpora
ton whatsoever"
Offer Hinged on Land.
A month later, Kenneth Cor
ley, president Of the Rockefeller
supported restoration project,
wrote Gov. Battle to remind that
Colonial Williamsburg's loan Of
fer hinged on the prospect that
it would be able to buy the va
Gated land once the transfer of
Eastern State Hospital were COM
pleted.
Because of the stand taken by
William and Mary, Mr.. Corley
said, it is impossible for Colo
nial Williamsburg to pursue the
matter any further" He said
the loan offer was thus "auto-
matically voided."
Both Gov. Battle and Gov
elect Stanley have expressed
hope that something can be
done to break the stalemate and
effect a compromise between the
college and Colonial Williams
burg.

Montgomery
Police Angered
By Exam Plan
Officers Decide
To Take Tests
Under Protest
THE SUNDAY STAR
Washington, D. C.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1853
By ChorIes l. Hoffman

Montgomery County police are
up in arms over the abrupt an
nouncement that the personnel
board will hold examinations for
at least eight promotions.
Police and the County person.
mel board have clashed frequent
ly in recent months.
Police feel the personnel
boards action was arbitrary and
came at an inopportune time.
They point out the board re-
Gently promoted three detectives
without examinations and then
capped off this with the promo
tion of a captain.
And in county circles it is
widely known that police officials
had made recommendations for
the other eight vacancies which
were rejected by the hoard. AS
a result of the announcement,
103 men must be interviewed for
promotions.
Agree Under Protest.
The police association almost
decided to boycott the proposed
examinations. Then cooler minds
agreed they would take the ex-
aminationS under protest"
Among vacancies to be filled
by the examinations are two
corporals, two Sergeants and two
lieutenants.
The examination announce
ment also included detective
lieutenants "a new rank. At
present the three area detective
bureaus are headed up by Det.
SergtS. j. B. Day, John P. Leal1y
and william Whalen.
Police spokesmen point out
these men have headed the bu-
reaus for several years and most
feel the promotions should be
automatic to go along with the
responsibilities they have car
ried.
Police feel the present vacan-
cies should be filled in the usual
manner and then an announce
ment made that examinations
will be in order in the future.
Pay Raises Turned Down.
Malcolm H. White, chairman
of the personnel board, however,
puts it this way:
"ThiS is the first time we have
done this but you have to start
somewhere and we feel this is
the time to start" n
The personnel board appears
to have the last word in promo
tions if County Attorney David
MacDonald's legal ruling is cor
rect. He told the council Tues
day it could not change a pay
schedule or promotion regulation
established by the board.
The board has repeatedly
turned down a requested pay in
crease for the police which some
councilmen are eager to grant.
1t also has been considering re-
vising the police retirement sys-
TEN. d.
The personnel board is made
up of Mr.. White, a farmer, Mrs.
Edith Dinwoody. a housewife,
and Lewis 3. Simms, a Federal
employe.
The broad powers of the board
stem from the charter leaders
intent to take politics out of ap-
pointments and promotions.
But many county residents
feel the pendulum has swung too
far and the situation can very
easily develop into a political
issue that could boomerang on
the charteriteS.
