Manager Plans
To Confer With
Orioles on Job
Chance to Reconsider
Offered by Brooklyn,
But Chuck Is Firm
By Joe ReichIer
Associofed Press Sports Writer

BROOKLYN, Oct. 14.-Man-
ager Charlie Dresser and the
Dodgers split today over terms
Of a new contract and the pep
perry pilot announced: "I won't
manage the team next year."
Walter O'Malley, president of
the National League champions,
told a special news conference
he had offered Dresser a one
year contract which the man.
ager had refused.
Dresser, O'Malley said, insisted
on three-year agreement as a
reward for leading the Dodgers
to pennants the last two years.
Both times the team lost to the
Yankees in the World Series
Dresser said he had asked
originally for a three-year con-
tract but would be willing to
settle for two.
II won't reconsider, he said.
IT won't manage the team next
year."
Chance to Reconsider.
O'Malley, who spent several
hours in conference with the
manager yesterday, was just as
adamant, but said he would
leave the door open for Dresser
to reconsider.
'I'm not going to say he won't
manage the team" the Dodger
executive said. "It's up to him.
But it has to be one-year con-
tract. I like to feel Charlie will
be with us for a long time. but
I'm not going to put it in the
form of a legal contract.
"I think Charlie has a lot of
problems to work out. I'm going
to give him a chance to do it.
O'Malley added that he didn't
believe in contracts and that IT
observe them only because it's
baseball law"
Tht Brooklyn president gave
no indication who would manage
the Dodgers next year.
Interested in Baltimore Job.
Dresser, meanwhile. said he
was looking around for a new
managers post and was inter-
ested in the possible opening
with the Baltimore Orioles. The
Orioles recently took over the
franchise of the st. Louis Browns.
'I'm going to look over the
fine print in the Blue Book (the
book on baseball rules) to see if
I can be permitted to talk to
Baltimore" he added.
y O'Malley said he would give
Dresser four or five days to
look around for a new job, add
ing: "The door is still open if
Charlie will reconsider"
Dresser said he would settle
for nothing less than a two
year contract.
II have the utmost faith and
confidence in O'Malley," he said,

AS is generally the case, there are argu-
ments on both sides OF. the coming question
which goes before the Alexandria voters to-
morrow.
The question is in the form OF an amend
ment to the charter to permit the City Coun-
Gil to override an adverse recommendation
from the planning commission by majority
rather than a three -fourths vote.
To some extent the issue is one of per-
sonalities, and the voters presumably know the
ms and outs of this aspect Of the matter. The
larger issue, however, is whether the long-range
interests of the community would be served by
easing the rezoning procedure. In this con-
nection the three-fourths requirement to over
ride the planning commission serves as safe
guard against unwise zoning, and 1t can hardly
be said that the existence Of this requirement
has hampered the city's proper development
in any material way. II this is the case, it is
difficult to see why it should be scrapped now.

the sound ground that since grade sep
arations are protection for the rail-
roads and their passengers as well as
for highway traffic. the railroads should
divide the cost with the District. The
act prohibits the District from building
any highway across railroad tracks on
the same level. This prohibition works
to the advantage of the railroads, re-
lieving them not only of the threat of
grade-crossing accidents that could be
costly in dollars as we'll as lives, but
averting operational precautions that
would hamper railroad traffic.
In letter to the railroad, the Com
miSsioners said: $50 far as equitable
considerations are concerned, the Com
missioners do not believe that your
company would deny that benefits will
flow to it from these grade-Separation
projects, which will obviate situations
which would necessarily be hazardous
to the safety of your passengers and
employees. Nor can the Commissioners
conceive how grade-separation struc-
ture which would prevent East Capitol
street traffic from crossing your freight
classification yards at grade could fail
to be of substantial economic benefit to
your company"
AS to the legal aspects. the Com
missionerS have been advised by
Corporation Counsel Vernon West Cd
that the 1903 Union Station Act is still
in effect and still enforceable, (2) that
it was amended in 1927 to require the
railroads to share in the cost not only
Of grade-separation structures on rail-
road property but also of approaches to
the structures built on District property,
and 60 that it was further amended in
1941 (six years after the Supreme
Court ruling in the Walters case) to
