State Sets Hearing
On Beer Sale Hours
For Arlington

The Virginia Alcoholic Bev-
erage Control Board will hold a
public hearing March II on a re-
quest by the Arlington County
Board that beer and wine sales
be extended from II pm. to mid
night.
Notice of the hearing, set for
2 pm. in Richmond, was given
to the board yesterday. =
During the board session the
county Public Utilities Com
mission was authorized to in
vestigate proposed fare increase
by the Alexandria, Bancroft &
Washington Transit Co.. and re-
quest a hearing If necessary be-
fore the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The board also agreed to con-
duct a public hearing at a date
to be set on a plan to increase
the speed limit from IS to 30
miles per hour on a 13-block sec
tion of South Glebe road.
Reverses Position.
The county board asked for
extension of hours for sale of
beer and wine in taverns, res
taurants and stores, at a meet
ing February 81. The board
resolution was a reversal of the
position taken last year by a
prior board when this request
by beer and wine distributors
was turned down.
The boards resolution on the
proposed fare increase followed
q report by Gerald j. GlaSSman,
executive assistant to the P. q. c.
that the raise would be auto
matically granted unless a hear
ing was requested by March 20.
The bus company has asked
for authority to eliminate tokens
in its first-fare zone and replace
them with a 20-cent fare, an in
crease of 2h cents. The COM
pany also asks that its second
zone fare be increased from 20
cents to Is cents.
The proposed higher speed
limit on Glebe road would be
established between South Thir-
teenth and South Twenty sixth
streets. The plan has the ap-
proval Of county police and high
way oflcials.
Other Board Decisions.
In other actions the board:

In his statement, Mr.. Lee said
he was not fighting any faction
of his own party, as had been
reported after recent political
meetings in the county
He said he thought county res
idents were most interested now
in finding ways and means OF
curbing unnecessary spending

level"
The Democratic leader said
that under the present spend
ers in the county council. prop
erty assessments are pushed up
every year and the county is at
the same time burdened with the
highest tax rate ever"
County bonded Indebtedness in
1945 during the last Democratic
administration was $9,725, 900. he
said. He quickly added that in
seven years the bonded debt was
raised to $34.8 million, ian in
crease of 275 per cent"
Sees Leaders Available.
"Few if any county services
have been visibly improved" he
charged. He added there is moth
ing new except a new county
Office building still unfinished,
a wider distribution of library
books and Every bad new Upper

EITHER the Democratic Party
or the Republican Party will
have to clean out the mess in
Rockville and put an end to the
spending phobia that controls
the county council" he said.
In declining leadership Of the
Democratic forces in next years
campaign, he suggested there
"are several thousand able and
enthusiastic young Democrats
and a number of hundred ex-
perienced and capable middle
aged Democrats who together
will lead this fight"

Democrats" assailed the nomi-
nation of anyone who didn't sup
port the national Democratic
candidate for president last fall.
Like Senator, Byrd, Mr.. Tuck
refused to indorse the Stevenson
Sparkman ticket in a Statewide
radio address.
Won on First Ballot.
Tuck hackers had the votes
and he won on the first ballot
with 525 of the 761 convention
votes. There were some cheers
and a lot of boos for Mr., Goode.
Whether the so-called "loyal''
Democrats will put up a can
didate of their own hasn't been
decided.
Mr.. Goode said after the con-
vention that they would await
the action of the Republican
district convention in Stuart next
Wednesday.
"It would be useless for us to
put up a candidate if the Re-
publicans don't name one. be-
cause all of the Republicans
would vote for Mr.. Tuck" he
said. IF the Republicans nomi-
nate a candidate, we will have
several days to decide what to
do"
The special election to name a
successor to Mr.. Stanley has
been called for April IA.
Mr.. Stanley, who is seeking the
Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor in the July IA primary.
was Endorsed by the convention
today. He is opposed by State
Senator Charles r. Fenwick of
Arlington, who, like Mr.. Stanley,
is a leader in the dominant DEM
ocratic organization headed by
Senator Byrd. w. Russell Hatch
EFT, former town manager of VIZ
ginia Beach, who is a member of
the anti-Byrd wing of the party,
also is running for Governor.
Party Unity Appeal.
It was Mr.. Stanley who made
one of the strongest appeals for
party unity today. He said the
convention was being watched
throughout the South and the
Nation because reports indicated
it was the initial test of unity
after a political storm which
found Virginia and the district
voting Republican last Novem-
ber. He urged the delegates to
settle differences in a traditional
spirit of good will and to give
the nominee for Congress their
full support.
It was apparent that Mr..
Goode wasn't speaking for the
whole Franklin delegation, al
though Franklin delegates were
instructed to vote against the
nomination of anyone who didn't
support the national ticket.
Carter Lee of Franklin arose to
second Mr.. Tuck's> nomination.
And State Treasurer Jesse Dillon,
also of Franklin, who said he
voted for Mr.. Stevenson and
wanted to vote for Mr.. Tuck,
threw a challenge at Mr.. Goode.
II am going to ask Goode If
he will pledge himself to vote for
Tuck if Tuck is the nominee Of
this convention" Mr.. Dillon
shouted.
There was no answer from Mr..
Goode.

Co|eConsidered
Free Oppose
Conclusions
Political Factors
Expected to Be
Given Weight
By Robert J. Lewis

The Eisenhower administra-
,tion will not consider itself
bound to follow housing recon-
mendations of the Presidents
Advisory Committee now hard
at work developing those recon-
mendations. and will feel free
to disregard any or all of them.
That was made plain today by
a high administration source
who said it is clearly realized by
members of the committee that
it's function is to make recon-
mendations only, and that final
decisions will be made by Presi-
dent Eisenhower and his ad-
ViSerS.
Nor does Housing AdminiStra-
tor Albert NJ. Cole-it is under
stood-consider that his service
as chairman of the 23-man COM
mittee will in any way tie his
hands in making recommended
tions to the President that may
run counter to those of the COM
mittee.
MI. Cole is Housing Admins
traitor first and chairman Of the
committee, second" this source
said. land members of the ad-
visory committee understand
that also"
Up to now. decisions on a con-
siderable number of issues before
the committee are still in the
balance" a committee source
said.
1t is no secret that there has
been a considerable area of dis
agreement, with a majority of
the members hewing to the line
that the Federal Governments
direct activity in the housing
field shall be sharply shriveled.
Until recently, committee ac-
tivities have been chiefly in the
fact-finding stage. Today, how
ever, the different subcommittee
are preparing to transform
themselves into a sort Of con-
ferees' group in an effort to
harmonic viewpoints through
compromise.
Housing Administrator Cole is
said to hope that extremist view
points can be allayed and that
the Advisory Committee can come
up with a program that will be
at least so agreeable to all mem
bers that simultaneous presenta-
ton of a dissenting minority re-
port can be avoided.
But the area of agreement
reached doesn't appear to be
broad enough up to now to pro-
vide any real assurance of this.
The Nations home builders. for
one thing, do not appear to be
too happy about the concessions
that representatives Of other in
dustries involved in housing have
been willing to make.
MIR. Coles skill in dealing with
the committee, and the fact that
it is. after all, a group conscious
of its obligations to the White
House, have combined to throw
an almost complete cloak of
secrecy over intra-c committee
squabbles.
Yet it is no secret at all that
virtually all industry groups rep
resented on the committee-eX-
cept for home builders-have
been dead set against a great
deal of Federal housing activity.
