Key Vote This Fall
The extent of his influence
in local politics may be meas
ured again this fall when bal
lots are cast in the county
School Board race. His OPP
ponentS seek to identify can
didates offered by the inde-
PENDENT movement as being
supported by hackers Of John
Locke Green. In last years
county board elections, Mr..
Green points out, the AIM
candidates were accused of
being Green supporters but
they won.
II won't be too much sur
prised if the same thing hap
pens this time" he declared.
The Green family which in
cludes his wife, Mary Hume
Green: his daughter Gay and
two other daughters, Eliza
beth and Mary Mason, has not
been without it's personal
tribulations. Elizabeth, a Smil-
ing, cheerful teen-ager, is
severely crippled as a result
of polio and must depend on
the county's visiting teacher
program for her education.
Gay attends Washington
Lee High School and Mary
Mason attends John Marshall
Elementary School.
=, Asked whether he felt his
children had suffered in any
way as a result of his school

jected such a possibility.

"They really bliStered me,
even while we stopped at a
restaurant where I bought
their lunches. When we final

them out Of the car and told
them who ! was, then left
them standing open-mouthed
while I drove off,"

luStrates his awareness of the
youthful segment of Airing
tons population.
The Green's oldest daugh-
ter. Gay. 16, brought a school,
mate home to spend a night
with her. The next day when
Mrs. Green was driving the
visitor home the girl ex-
claimed to Gay:
"Mr. Green is such q nice
man. / like him very much,
but why does he do such mean
things?"
There are many thousands
Of people in Arlington who feel
just as the two boys and the
teen-aged girl do, Mr.. Green
admits. but there are as many
thousands of others who are
on his side, he contends.
Mr.. Green is not a native
Virginian. He was born in
Colorado Springs while his
family Travelled in search of
their fortune during gold rush
days. Despite his out-of-Stat
origin, he regards his arch
foes as those who have come
to Virginia in recent years as.
Federal employment and at
tendant services have devel-
oped. @
Still, his xenophobia is ex-
planned by his ancestry. The
Green family traces its roots
to Culpeper County in 1712.
His great-grandfather, John
w. Green, was q member Of
the Virginia Supreme Court
from 1925 to 1884. His grand
father and father were also
lawyers.
In Arlington Since 80
Mr.. Green studied at the
National Law School in the
District and hung out his shin

gle in Arlington in 1880. The
reason he picked Arlington
was his employment at a coun-
ty garage for two years prior
to earning his degree and be-
ing admitted to the bar.
Almost Immediately he be-
came involved in politics. In
1888 he made an unsuccessful
bid for Arlingtons' seat in the
Virginia House Of Delegates
and in 1884 and again in 1886
ran unsuccessfully against
Democrat Howard Smith for
the 9th district seat in Con-
greSS.
Finally in 1899 he was elect
ed for the first of three terms
as treasurer. In this job, he
was the only Republican to
hold Office in the heyday of the
Democratic organization of the
county.
The Glass Suit
It was in 1945 that Mr..
Green brought action against
the then-ailing Senator Glass
seeking to have the Senate
seat vacated and a special
election held. It was an un-
popular move but he never
theless succeeded in getting
reelected to his third term as
treasurer in 1947.
In 1914 he undertook a
campaign against the late
Wendell Willkie by printing
10000 pamphlets at his own
expense and mailing them to
key Republicans throughout
the country. He accused
Willkie of embracing interna-
tionalism after the latter
made his bid for the presi-
dency in 1940 on a national
iSt" platform.
Similarly he undertook to
discredit the late Senator
Vandenberg IN 1947 by send

II you're looking for con-
troversy, one of the best places
to find it around here is in
the planning field.
For one thing, there's the
proposed e street bridge across
the Potomac. Then there's the
proposed extension Of Route
24O from Wisconsin avenue
to Rock Greek Park to meet a
District-built leg up one side
of the park at East-West high
way. Thirdly. there's the
fight over who win boss the
executive officer of the area
Regional Planning Council.
Two of these may well end
up In Congress for decision,
and the other-Route 30
may get into the courts.
First take the bridge: Ar
rayed with the District Com
missionerS in favor are the
Federal Bureau Of Public
Roads, the Arlington County
Board and the Regional Plan
ming Council.
Supporting the National
Capital Planning Commission
in opposition is the near-ex-
tinct Arlington County Plan
ming Commission, many OF
whose members resigned a few
months ago at the request OF
the County Board. Also Fed
eral park officials and the
Theodore Roosevelt Memorial
Association, which objects to
the bridge crossing Roosevelt
Island. now a natural refuge.
The Federal planners won
the first round when they
succeeded in getting knocked
out Of the current city budget
an appropriation that would
have permitted the start OF
the project. City highway
officials, fighting back, are
busy laying the groundwork
for congressional support at
the next session. Only the
other day they converted
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, of Virginia, who
previously was unconvinced.
Planners Alternative
Recently the planning COM
mission staff came up with an
alternative: Build a bridge
downstream of the present
railroad bridge to connect
with the proposed southwest
freeway. This one has yet to
be approved by the commits
sion but has attracted the
ire of bird lovers because it's
Virginia approaches would
pass right through the bird
sanctuary at Reaches Run.
On the Route 240 issue, the
Federal planners are pitted
against the Maryland State
Roads Commission, the Mary
land National Capital Plan
ming Commission, the Dis
trict Highway Department.
Two of the three city Com
miSsioners are for it infor-
mally but the board has yet
to act officially,
Supporting the planners
are Interior Secretary Mckay,
a group of affected property
owners in Chevy Chase and
many, who consider that q
District leg up the west side
Of Rock Greek Park would des-
ecrate the park.
In the matter of the plan
ming council executive, the
council wants assurance Of
control over it's own men. The
planning commission. propos-
ing that the regional planner
be a member of the commits
sion staff under Director John
Nolen, jr., has given no such
assurance. If this can't be
worked out amicably, it is sure
to be taken to Congress
Mr.. Nolen, active inc the
Capital planning field for
many years, has played a
major part in molding the
planning commission thinking
since retirement of former

John Locke Green: A Study in Litiqiousness
BY Tom Burke

John Locke Green, the con-
tentious Arlington attorney.
has q knack of doing the un-
popular thing in Q spectacular
way.
Undoubtedly the most con-
troversial figure in an area
where controversy has been
rampant for nearly q decade,
the 52-year-old lawyer has
been unyielding in the face Of
bitter criticism, political de-
feat and legal counterattack.
His constant embodiment in
legal battles stems. he ex-
plains. from the desire of a
fourth-generation lawyer to
see the laws enforced.
IF a law is not popular it
should be abolished, not ig-
nored," he says.
His legal attacks against the
School Board in recent years
are chiefly the result Of his
conviction that Federal en-
ploye board members are ille-
gally in Office or that the board
had violated certain laws.
Long Litigation
He admits that the boards
spending policies have been
a contributing factor to his
determined effort to seek their
custer. But his opposition to
the School Board is just one
chapter of a book full of legal
entanglements, as witness
these examples.
o His unsuccessful bid to have
the United States Senate seat
of Virginia's late Carter Glass
declared vacated when the
State party chieftain was un-
able to attend Capitol Hill ses-
sions because of illness.
. His unsuccessful effort to
upset the States poll tax law.
Q His successful suit to oust
Federal employees from the
County Board.
. His successful action to kill
rent controls before they were
scheduled to expire in Arling-
ton.
. His successful battle against
a $500,000 swimming pool bond
issue in Arlington.
o His unsuccessful attempt to
void an $11 million school
bond issue in Fairfax.
Q His successful suits in Alex
andria and Falls Church
against sections of the two
cities business license tax or
dinances.
. His unsuccessful bids to
have Arlington's business
license and auto license tax
ordinances invalidated.
Mr.. Green is quick to point
out that though many of these
suits were filed in his own be-
half, many others were filed by
him as attorney for other in
dividuals.,
He Does 1t for Money
So frequent have been the
attacks on the gruff-voiced at
torney as a result Of his legal
embroilmentS that many peo-
pie have lost sight of the fact
that much Of his work is done
for profit, not pleasure.
I've handled about 600 le-
gal cases since I left the
Treasurer's Office in Deem
ber, 1851. I have two law
partners and we keep a staff
of about 10 people busy" Mr..
Green points out.
Is John Locke Green aware
of the animosity his legal
stumbling blocks in the path
of Government have created?
One of his anecdotes about
himself answers that question.
II was driving home from
Roanoke one day and picked
up a couple Of young fellows,

thompson, JF.
Chairman o.. S. Grant, Sd, a
few years ago. In the case of
the E street bridge it is a case
pretty much of Mr.. Nolen'S
thinking against the District
Highway Department.
Tox Crockdown
District tax officials have an
eye peeled on the Internal
Revenue Service breakdown
on Federal income tax delin-
quents in the area which be-
gan the other day.
The director of internal
revenue in Baltimore has as
signed 100 agents to the prof.
ect. They hope to turn up
$4,000 delinquents = mostly
Federal employes-who owe
an estimated $14 million In
back taxes.
The District would like to
pick up a few delinquents on
city income tax from the same
list.
Incidentally, this Federal
check differs from the much
publicized door-to-door check
made recently in New Eng
land. That was supposed to
turn up persons who had
failed to file returns. This
one is to catch those who owe
back taxes. If the drive is sue
cessful in the District, Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
Counties and Southern Mary
land, it will be extended all
over the State.
>An interesting aspect is that,
unlike civilian workers pay,
salaries of Federal employees
cannot be garnisheed. The rev.
enooers plan to grab any>prop-
erty or other assets they can
lay hands on If the delinquents
don't pay up.
