Number one is whether he

$1,720,000 for construction and
improvement of streets and high
ways in the county, including
acquisition of necessary land. and
construction of sidewalks, curbs
and cutters.
Number two is whether the
board should borrow 81 million
for construction of storm sewers,
including land acquisition.
Number three is whether the
board should borrow $1,327 900

Bond Issues Backed.
Not on the voting machines
will be a question which the
County Civic Federation had re-
quested be placed before the
voters. The federation wanted
a referendum on approximately
$500,000 in bonds fol- swimming
pools. Board members said they
believed other needs were more
urgent.
The three bond issues hear the
Endorsement of the Arlington
Development Committee, which
has assumed some of the func-
tions of the former Planning
Commission.
The highway money would
finance As projects, the com
mittee estimates. Parts OF Will
son boulevard, George Mason
drive and Washington boulevard
would be improved, and a num-
ber of minor street connections
would be built. Some roads will
be reconstructed to increase
their traffic capacity.
Twenty-six sidewalk, curb and
gutter projects have been pro-
posed, with emphasis on provid-
ing safe access to schools, the
committee reported.
Fund for 62 Projects.
The 81 million for sewers
would finance 81 projects and
would set up $52,700 as the
countys share of the cost of the
Arlington Ridge road bridge over
Four Mile Run, which needs ex-
tension and widening. Alexan-
dria is prepared to pay it's share
of the cost, the committee said.
The water system improve
ment program would end sum-
mer restrictions on use of water
in the county. Last summer
residents were permitted to use
water outside their homes only
during certain hours of the day.
The $1,327, 900 for proposed
water facilities would provide an
additional 9 million gallons of
storage at Minor Hill and mil
lion additional at Lyonhurst.
Capacity of the Fort Ethan
Allen pumping station at Glebe
and Military roads would be in
creased to IL million gallons "A
day at a cost of $131 900. Con-
struction of new mains would
cost $122.600.

Segregation Is Issue
In Alexandra Race
For Delegate S Seat

The Alexandria House of Dele
gates campaign was intensified
yesterday as the two opposing
candidates came out with new
statements on segregation and
labor.
Armistead L. Boothe, the
Democratic incumbent and John
Alvin Croghan, who is running
as an independent, are the con-
tenders for Alexandria'S seat in
the House.
Mr.. Boothe defended his posi-
ton on segregation as Mr.. Crog-
han made new charges about
the Democratic nominees labor
policies.
Replies to Charge.
Mr.. Croghan previously had
accused Mr.. Boothe of playing
footsie" with the Negro popula-
ton. To this, Mr.. Boothe re-
piled:
II have never advocated the
abolition of segregation in the
public schools. I do not believe
Virginia is ready for this
change. Any statement of my
belief to the contrary is a down.
right irresponsible falsehood.
But as an American and a
lifelong Virginian. I am acutely
conscious Of the fact that Negro
people are also American citi-
sens. AS such they must be
accorded the privileges of first
class American citizenship"
Recalls 1850 Legislation.
Mr.. Boothe recalled that he
sponsored State legislation in
1850 to end segregation on
trains, buses, streetcars and
boats.
He also sponsored another bill
that year to create a commission
on race relations in Virginia
Neither bill passed.
Mr.. Boothe said:
II deplore the fact that this
issue, which needs our best
thought and our most sincere
prayers. has been dragged into
this campaign by way of the
gutter. My opponent stated pub
licly on Wednesday night last
that I have played footsie' with
the Negroes and held out to
them false hopes which could
not be fulfilled. Such language
is inf1ammatory, demagogic and
un-American in every sense of
the word"
Summarizes Platform.
Mr.. Croghan. meanwhile, re-
leased a summary of his cam
paign platform and again criti-
cized Mr.. Boothe's record on
labor relations.
The independent said a strike
had been broken at the Sum-
beam Dairy in Alexandria during
the past year by invoking Vir-
ginia's right-to-work law. He
said Sunbeam now is a non-union
dairy, and added:
"The fact that my opponent
was and is a director at Sunbeam
may explain his reluctance to a
full scale investigation by the
State, which I favor, to determine
if a milk trust or monopoly exists
in northern Virginia"
Mr.. Croghan said he favored
full protection of the fundamep-
tai rights of labor, including
support of all legislation to in
sure collective bargaining. He
said he opposed use of injunc-
tionS in labor disputes, and ia
vored larger employe disability
payments.
