Convention SET
By Democrats
In Arlington
July 20 Gathering
To Name Candidate
For County Bourd
By Alex R. Preston

Arlington Democrats today an
nounced they will hold a county
convention July 20 to nominate
a candidate for the County
Board.
With the Republicans already
fielding a candidate. this decision
virtually shuts out the possibility
that a coalition Of both parties,
designated the Arlington Inde-
pendent Movement (AIM), will
offer a candidate for that office
this year.
The Democrats withheld a de-
cision on the matter until now
in hope that the Republican
candidate. Richard L. Parli, AZ
year-old architect, would with
draw.
School Candidates Possible.
There still is a possibility that
AIM may get together to nomi-
nate two candidates for two
School Board vacancies that oc-
cur this year.
DR.. Robert H. DetWeiler, a
Democrat who was one of three
candidates elected by the AIM
group last year, will not be a
candidate to succeed himself
when his term expires this year.
The other AIM candidates Of
1852 are serving two and three
year terms.
Object of the AIM movement
was to defeat the so-called nom
partiSans who, until three Of
their members were removed by
court order last year, held con-
troll of the county board. The
non-partisanS are expected to
hold a town meeting to nomi-
nate a county board candidate
some time next month.
Decision Too Late for Primary.
The Democrats decision to
enter a candidate was forced
upon them by refusal of the Re-
publicans to withdraw Mr.. Parli
and, according to one spokesman.
1--WE couldn't let 1t go by de-
fault" But the decision comes
too late for the Democrats to
make their choice in their July
IA primary for Governor, lieu
tenant governor and the House
of Delegates.
Leonard o. Hilder, chairman
of the Democratic Executive
Committee, said the convention
would be held seven days after
the primary and any eligible
Democrat" may file with him a.
delegate to the county con-
vention by paying a S. fee and
subscribing to the usual loyalty
pledge prior to 6 pm. July 13.
Candidates also have until the
same date to file with him.

Alexandra Manager
To Draw Up Pay Raise
Plan for Employees

Alexandria's city manager has
been asked to submitto the City
Council before July 20 his plans
for spreading $125. 900 in pay in
creases among city employees.
The manager. Ira Willard. told
the council last night that raises
will average about 712 per cent.
He said he expects to propose,
however. that employees in the
lower grades be given a higher
percentage of increase.
Salary Is Increased.
The council boosted MIR. Will
lard's salary to $4,000, an in
crease of $4,000 since he was en-
ployed less than a year ago. His
predecessor received $4,000.
Mayor Marshall j. Beverley
opposed granting an increase to
the manager, saying, 'I don't
feel he's produced as he should"
All six councilmen favored the
raise. however.
Other salary changes approved
last night included: Senior Cor
poration Court judge, up $725 to
$4,000: Junior Corporation Court
Judge, up $4,000 to $4,000: senior
Police Court judge, up $4,000 to
$1,000; junior Police Court
judge, up $1,500 to $500.
Apartments Opposed.
In other business, the council
by a 4-3 vote denied a rezoning
application to permit higher den-
sity apartments in the TOO block
of East Cliff street. About so
residents appeared to oppose the
request. some of them protesting
that the project would increase
the danger and severity Of floods
in the area. Second reading of
the councils action was set for
next Tuesday.
The Broyhill bill calling for
creation of a commission to study
Metropolitan Area problems was
approved by the council.

Montgomery Tenants
Face Rent Increases
When Controls End

With rent controls due to go
off July 81, a large number of
Montgomery County residents
can expect sizeable increases. ac-
cording to the Silver Spring
Rent Control Office.
Office Director Harry A. L.
Barker yesterday said he has re-
ceived "about 100 phone calls
from tenants reporting increases
of 10 to 40 per cent
Many of them have received
notice that the increases will go
into effect August /. he said.
The area rent Office. at 934
Ellsworth drive, Silver Spring.
will close its doors today.
Many Vacancies Reported.
Mr.. Barker admitted there
had been little or no control for
some time. Now rental agents
don't even bother to report new
rates, he added:
In the last month of rent con-
troll, residents of Prince Georges
and Montgomery Counties hav-
ing complaints will have to file
them with the regional Office in
Philadelphia. Meanwhile, the
records of the Silver Spring Of
flee will be kept in Washington.
Area real estate men say there
are a large number of vacancies
in rental units in Montgomery
County.
George W. Robertson, president
of the County Real Estate Board,
said he has been forced to re-
duce some house rents from Sis
to 500 a month.
Children Bring Increase.
One Bethesda development,
where some two-bedroom apart
ments were renting for $94.50,
is now asking Sis for the same
units as they become vacant.
Furthermore, some of the de-
velopment's residents who have
three children in the family have
received notice of a similar in
crease. One resident said the
rental agent justified the in
crease on grounds the third child
caused the units utility bills to
be higher.
Mr.. Barker said he had re-
ceived reports of increases rang
ing from $40 to $25 a month.
Some Of them have been in
house rentals, he added.
Mr.. Robertson said he did not
anticipate general increases in
house rentals.
20 Per Cent Boost Permitted.
Some apartment units were
permitted a 20 per cent rental
increase last month, the area
Office said.
Montgomery County real estate
men last September said there
was no shortage Of apartments
in the county. The County
Council, however, disagreed and
asked the Federal Government
to extend controls.

"I feel Chief Hansborough

we responded. If we had refused,
we wouldn't be in business very

the plane crashed. Mr.. Hudson,
a former Bethesda resident, told
Chief Melillo his first thought

it's fast-cutting electric saw.
Chief Melillo said his men, If

Primary Race Nears
Windup in Virginia
In Mild Campaign
By the Associated Press

Virginia's unspectacular DEM
ocratic primary race for Cover
nor reached the homestretch
stage today with both candi-
dates still on the trail for votes.
Two weeks from today Demo-
Gratis will go to the polls to
decide between Thomas B. STAN
ley, wealthy 62-year-old former
Congressman, or Charles R. Fem
wick, 52-year-old State Sena-
tor.
The winner in the July IA
primary will face the Republi-
cans Ted Dalton, 81, Of Rad
ford, in November.
Have Covered State.
Hardly any place in the State
has been missed by the candi-
dates in their rigorous day-by-
day schedule of campaigning.
Mr.. Stanley was in the Norfolk
area yesterday and remained
there today. Senator Fenwick.
in Roanoke last night, headed
into Franklin County today and
was to address the Albemarle
County League of Women Voters
tonight at Charlottesville.
Mr.. Fenwick said Mr.. Stanley
had been invited to the Abe
marie meeting. but had run
away"
"Of course" said Mr.. Fenwick,
"Stanley's strategy has two aims.
When he can't make it for an
engagement, he has prominent
substitute.
"ThiS shows the public that
a prominent man is backing
Stanley. But it also keeps the
substitute from committing
Stanley on anything. 1t lets
the brunt of the questioning fall
on me-"
Mr.. Fenwick said he was "tre-
mendously encouraged" after his
swing through southwest Vir-
ginia last week. Most of the
people I've talked to who are
committed to Stanley are COM
mitted to him in name only.
"His supporters don't seem
enthusiastic about his campaign
in any way"
Mr.. Fenwick was asked what
he thought of the Republican
gubernatorial nominee, Ted
Dalton.
Il think they picked the best
man." he said.
Pledges Business Rule.
Meantime, Mr.. Stanley, in a
television address in Norfolk last
night, reiterated his proposal to
give the State Ports Authority
broad powers to gain new COM
merce for Virginia. He also re-
viewed his stand on health, edu-
cation and welfare matters.
Throughout my campaign, !"
he said, II have refrained from
making promises for the purpose
of getting votes or currying favor
with the voters and I shall fol-
low that principle to the very
end.
"You have my pledge that I
shall, If elected your governor,
apply my experience in farming.
as a businessmen and my rs
years of public service in the
administration Of the govern
ment of Virginia and I shall
strive, as a businessman, to give
our commonwealth a business
administration"
w. Russell Hatchett. former
town manager of Virginia Beach,
who stepped out of the Demo-
cratic primary race for governor
and threw his support to Mr..
Fenwick, said earlier Mr.. STAN

for a water system for Bassett
and Stanleytown. Mr.. Stanley's
furniture manufacturing plant
