Lightning struck again early
today at the Thomas M. Garrett
farm near Rockville.
This time it set afire and de-
Stroyed a hay barracks used to
store some 110 tons of alfalfa
and other hays.
It was the third time in the
last 33 years that lightning has
destroyed a barn on Mr.. Garrett's
farm, and the fifth time there
has been a fire.
In 1920 and again in 1922.
barns were struck by lightning
and destroyed by fire. About six
years later, a tramp set af1re
another barn and it also was
destroyed. Then, in 1943, two
high-priced dairy barns were
burned by fires started by short
circuits.

Suspended in Liquor Case
By the AssoeIated Press

suspension of a Brownsville State
Hospital attendant pending an
investigation of possible brewing
of alcohol by patients was an
nounced yesterday.
DR.. Arnold Eichert. superin-
tendent of the hospital for
Negroes, refused to name the
employe.
DIR. Eichert said the investi-
cation began after a patient was
discovered with a two-gallon can
of fermenting sugar.
Several patients presumably
were involved, the superintendent
added. He said one purpose of
the inquiry was to determine if
the attendant had helped them
in any way.

Busy thieves broke into five
business places in Rosslyn and
two on Route /, near the Pen

empty-handed each time, Arling-

Detective Sergt. George C.
Coppage, said it is believed the
break-ins were made by the
same persons in each case.
At the five business places in
Rosslyn windows were broken to
gain entrance in each case but
nothing of value was reported
stolen. Though several miles
across county, the two break-ins
on Route l, showed the same
mode of procedure.

Public Hearing
On Jones Point
Bridge Slated
Alexandria Council
Decides to Explore
Views on Project

The Alexandria City Council
plans to re-evaluate the entire
Jones Point Bridge idea, after UNI
successfully trying to halt con-
Struction of a motel in the path
of a proposed approach to the
bridge.
The council last night decided
to hold a public hearing on the
bridge plan when they heard it
described as an unattractive
truck route.
Until the hearing can be held,
the council voted to rescind a
permit it granted two weeks ago
for construction of a 92-unit
motel at Washington and Church
streets, where one approach to
the bridge is proposed. The
council referred the motel permit
request back to the planning
commission for further consider
alton.
This action apparently is not
going to halt construction of the
motel, however. Robert v. H.
Duncan, representing owners Of
the moter site, said the name Of
the project will be changed from
motel to hotel. The property Is
located in zone that allows
construction of a hotel without
any special permit from City
Council. Dennis Cahill, planning
director, said he knows Of
nothing in the law defining a
motel.
Sale of Site Offered.
Mr.. Duncan appeared at the
meeting to offer sale of the motel
site to the city, if it is needed
for an approach to the bridge.
No action was taken on the offer.
Opposition to the entire bridge
idea was expressed by John
Barton Phillips, an officer of the
Hunting Towers and Hunting
Terrace apartment corporations.
Both projects are located close to
the proposed bridge approaches.
He declared:
II resent the attitude of city
council and the planning COM
mission on the Jones Point
Bridge. You never have given
the people of Alexandria an OPP
portunity to be heard.
"The District hired some en-.
gineers. They came up with an
idea to get traffic out of the
District and pass it through
Jones Point. 1t seems to me We
ought to look into it some our
selves instead of listening to
Representative Broyhill, or any
one else.
Shirley Case Cited.
when Shirley highway was
finished, Arlington County did
everything it could to get trucks
off Of it. Now Arlington County
wants an E street bridge for
suburban passenger car traffic,
and a Jones Point bridge to give
us all the interstate truck traffic"
Mayor Marshall j. Beverley
said he favorss . a Joint Point
Bridge but that a hearing is
justified. The council already
is on record in favor of a Jones
Point Bridge.
Vice Mayor Leroy Bendheim
said he thinks engineers and
planners also should be invited
to the hearing to speak in be-
half of the bridge.
c. Luckett Watkins, director
of public works, said the State
has nearly finished a survey to
show the exact approach routes
for the Jones Point Bridge and
thinks the hearing should bo
held after results of that survey
become available.
The council decided not to
set a date for the hearing but
indicated it would be some time
before December Is.

Candidate for Board
In Arlington Backs
Party-Iess Elections

Richard L. Parli, Republican
candidate for the Arlington
County Board, has announced
that if elected. he will work for
a method to elect board candi-
dates without party label.
Mr.. Parli told the Organized
Women Voters of Arlington at a
luncheon yesterday at Hogate's
Arlington House that under the
Hatch Act, Government workers
cannot work for a nominee for
the county board selected by a
recognized political party.
Therefore, if a Government
worker wishes to take an active
part in local politics, he must
work through the non-partiSans.
However, many Government
workers do not like the non
partisans and so do not take an
active part in county board
elections"
The non-partisans' candidate
for the board in the coming
election, Glen Bayless, repeated
his opposition to the so-called
"luxury-type" apartments in sin
gle-reSidence areas.
He said that Arlington's econ
omy could achieve a better bal
ance if laboratory-type industry
would locate in the county.
Urges Free Books.
The Democratic candidate for
the same Office, Wesley w.
Cooper, said he believed that
more women should be appointed
to the boards advisory groups
He said he also supports a sys-
TEN of free school textbooks and
installation Of a Northern Vir-
ginia juvenile detention facility.
One of the convention can
didates for the school board, DR..
E. r. Draheim, was absent at
the beginning of the meeting
and DR.. James H. Fox. dean of
the School Of Education of
George Washington University,
spoke in his behalf.
DR.. Fox appraised the present
school board. He said that the
scholarship of Arlington stu
dents rates with the highest in
the Nation and added that ele-
mentary school students ere
above average in all elementary
subjects, including the funda-
mentalS."
His speech touched off an OBJ
lection by a George Washington
University graduate in the audi
ence, Mrs. Marceline Burtner,
who questioned whether the
university was taking part in
the Arlington campaign.
DR.. Fox said he was not ap-
pearing in his official capacity
but as an Arlington resident and
the father of two children in the
county schools.
More Holidays Urged.
A member of the slate oppos-
ing the convention candidates,
James R. Miles, a nominee of
Independent Movement, charged
that progressive education, as
practiced in Arlington, has re-
suited in elimination of spelling
books from at least one school
and the use of tainted books
in a junior high school.
Mr. Miles running mate, Dolph
Hays said that if named to the
board, he would urge that Ar
mistice Day and George Wash
ington's birthday be named
school holidays.
DR.. L. Clark Heating, profess
sor of romance languages at
George Washington University
and a convention candidate for
the board, said that the schools
developed in Arlington in the
past several years have become
nationally known for their ex-
cellence.

On U. 5. Troops Role

Senator Hickenlooper, Repub-

Humphrey, Democrat. of Mime
sofa disagreed today on whether
the United States should make
any commitment to- retain its
troops in Europe as a spur to
approval of the European De-
tense Community.
Both members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
said they expect the issue to go
before Congress in some form.
They said there are obvious in
dications it will be brought up
by the French at the Big Three
conference in Bermuda next
month.
Opposes Binding Pact.
Senator Hickenlooper said he
was opposed to binding this
country to what might turn out
to be indefinite maintenance of
troops in Germany. He empha-
sized he was not talking about
the manning of United States
bases abroad.
II wouldn't support any COM
