Alexandra Council
Sets Special Session
On Police, Fire Raise

Alexandria police and firemen
last night showed up IS strong
at City Council meeting, pre-
pared to submit their cases for
pay raises. but they agreed to
meet at a special session with
the Council next Thursday to
discuss the issues.
The postponement came on a
suggestion of Councilman Leroy
S. Bendheim, who said the
Council could devote more time
to an analysis of the pay re-
quests at a special meeting.
Apparently spanked by pay
raises granted earlier this month
to city department heads, The
new demands come on top of q
pay increase that became effec-
tive on July I.
The starting pay of police and
firemen was raised from $4,000
to $500 on July l. At the same
time, other city employees in
Guiding most of the department
heads, received raises. Then, on
September 9, the council voted
additional raises for departments
without providing more money
for other employees.
S4,7OO TOP Asked.
A resolution from the city's GA
paid firemen asking a pay scale
starting at $4,000 with top pay
of $4,700 after five years was
read to the council. The resolu-
ton cited the September 9 salary
increases for department heads.
Armistead Boothe, Alexandria
attorney and spokesman for the
policemen, told the council he
was prepared to submit recon-
mendations of policemen on a
proposed raise that would in
crease the starting pay to $3.50
and provide a maximum pay of
$4.500 after three years.
Mr.. Bendheim suggested the
special meeting at this point and
all parties agreed the discussion
would be held at 1880 pm, in
the council chamber next Thurs
day.
The council deferred a request
of the Alexandria Sanitary Au-
thority for a loan of $279, 700
with which to meet its financial
obligations until a bond issue
can be floated for construction
of a sewage treatment facility.
Under Legal Study.
The deferral was agreed to
after City Attorney v. Floyd
Williams said the legal aspects
of the request would have to be
weighed. The authority sug-
gested the money could be bor-
rowed from city bond funds and
repaid at the interest rate paid
by the city for the bond money.
In another action, the coun-
Gil approved issuance of a use
permit to the Prince Charles
Development Co. for construc-
ton of an 100000 motel-hotel
at First and Washington streets,
subject to approval of the city'S
Traffic Board. Other city de-
partments had already approved
preliminary plans for the two
story development, but the
Traffic Board has not had the
opportunity to study the plans.
The council also stymied a bid
to reopen the question of
acquisition of two blocks in the
Charles Houston School area for
development as low-cost rental
housing by accepting" without
action, a petition of 200 Negro
residents that the property be
acquired and 48 housing units
be built. A motion to acquire
the property, on which condem-
nation proceedings were halted
earlier this year, was lost by a
3-to-2 vote.

Opens Bond Bids Sept. 2o

Bids on sale of $2.5 million in
school construction bonds will be
opened by the Arlington School
Board on September 20, the
board decided last night.
Because of litigation against
board members filed by John
Locke Green, former county
treasurer, the board has been
unable to dispose of the bonds to
private investors.
However, last Monday the
State Retirement Board agreed
to submit a bid for them.

Stanley Tells 6. 0. P.
Party Isn't Divided;
Aims 10 Get Out Vote
BY the Assoeioted Press

FREDERIC KSBURG, Va,
Sept. l7.-Democratic cam
paigners moved into the 9th dis
trict today. with a warning to
the Republicans that Virginia's
Democrats aren't divided; they
want the kind of government
they have"
Thomas B. Stanley issued the
warning yesterday in Richmond
as he called on 3rd district party
leaders to get out the vote of
young people" and women. He
said all is harmony" now with
in State Democratic ranks.
The Democratic nominee said
at the same time the vote
getting tour he and his running
mates now are making-today's
stop was the 9th of 10 on the
schedule - was for organiza-
tional purposes and issues of the
campaign were being relegated
to a later date.
Dalton Hits Remark.
This fact brought sharp re-
joinder last night from State
Senator Ted Dalton, the Repuh-
lican gubernatorial nominee,
that he was forced to exchange
barbed words with Attorney Gen
eral j. Lindsay Almond, jr., be-
cause that gentleman (Stanley)
is not discussing issue"
The Democratic encourage in
Richmond yesterday included
Mr.. Stanley, Mr.. Almond, 1t.
Coy. A. E. S. Stephens-like Mr..
Almond, a candidate for re-elec-
tion-and Representative Gary
of the Sd District.
Mr.. Stanley warned party
leaders the Republicans this year
present a threat" such as the
Democratic Party in the State
hasn't witnessed since 1929. He
said the COP. is putting for
ward what it believes is its best
foot"
Almond Sees No Issues.
Democratic unity was urged
by Mr.. Almond, who said Repub-
licans cannot find any issues be-
cause there are none. He added
that "Democrates for generations
have given good government in
Virginia and they intend to con-
tinue to do so." He urged that
Democrats roll up majority
that will stop the Republicans
dead in their tracks"
Mr.. Dalton jabbed at Mr.. Al
mond last night for his observa-
tion at 1st District rally Tues
day at Old Point Comfort. At
that time Mr.. Almond declared:
Smash the Republicans so far
that we won't hear from them
again until Tom Stanley, Guy
Stephens and Lindsay Almond
have gone to their just rewards.
When you see the whites of their
eyes. pull the trigger and watch
them (the Republicans) fall"
Brunswick Rally.
The G. o. P. candidate de-
clared at Brunswick rally 1.-THE
gentlemen will get their just
rewards sooner than Attorney
General Lindsay Almond ex-
pects." About November 3, he
predicted.
Furthermore, Mr.. Dalton add
ed, any trigger pulling will be
done by the people of Virginia"
He said the appeal for a large
vote Shows that they are dis
turbed by what they have found
among the people. They aren't
talking issues; they appeal for
those in their organization to
bear down in getting out the Or
ganization votes"
Mr.. Dalton continued:
"They don't want to talk about
poll tax: they don't want to talk
about bringing the schools closer
to the people by having school
boards elected or appointed by
the boards of supervisors in the
counties; they don't want to talk
about the plight of our schools
and the poor pay of school
teachers; they don't want to talk
about ANYTHING except how to

Arson Suspected as Probe
Of $40 Million Fire Starts
By the Asseeiated Pres.

OAKLAND, Calf, Oct. IT,
The Oakland Fire Department,
strongly suspecting incendiar-
ism, opened an investigation to-
day into the cause of last nights
waterfront fire which caused
damages estimated by owners in
excess of $40 million.
Three f1remen suffered slight
injuries.
Fire Marshal James Sweeney,
jr., said the firse spread so fast
that 100 f1remen were helpless to
save three huge warehouses.
1--WE have every reason to be-
lieve it could have been in
cendiary." Mr.. Sweeney said. He
was inclined to consider the $40
million damage estimate as too
high.
The biggest loss was a ware
house loaded with supplies for
shipment to the Army overseas.
The supplies were largely for
Army post exchanges.

Mr.. Loos charged that Mr..
Wagner had demanded that

down."
"We must choose" Mr.. Loos

On October 8, Gov. Dewey
named three New York lawyers to
a special State investigating COM
mission to turn the harness rae
ing industry upside down" and
shake out racketeers, hidden
owners and financially interested
Office holders.
The same day, the Nassau
County Grand Jury indicted 13
persons on charges of conspiracy,
extortion and labor kickbacks
at Roosevelt Raceway. The top
defendant was Dekoning, the
Long Island labor czar and one
of joey Fay's prison visitors.
Until recently, Dekoning ran
the Labor Lyceum, a Long Island
bar, restaurant and hall. To the
lyceum, it was alleged, went en-
ployes of Roosevelt RaOeway at
regular intervals to pay financial
tribute to Dekoning at social af-
fairs sponsored by his Mule
Club"
Indicted with Dekoning was a
man who called himself George
Florea, until recently parking lot
supervisor at Roosevelt Raceway.
Florea turned out to be Joseph
Massa, indicted % years ago in
a robbery murder at Mount
Vernon, N. Y. Massa denied any
part in the murder when turned

BY the A.soeie,ed Press

NEW YORK, Oct. IA State
parole official said tonight he
was shocked over demands by
Democratic mayoral candidate
Robert F. Wagner, jr. that a list
of persons recommending parole
for a jailed labor extortionist be
made public.
Mr.. Wagner has charged that
the list of persons who recon-
mended parole for extortionist
Joey Fay included "a very high
national figure lone Of the most
important men in the United
States"
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey called
Mr.. Wagner's statement false and
said he had received no such
recommendation from anyone
connected with the national ad-
ministration.
Produce the list" countered
Mr.. Wagner.
Tonight the chairman of the
New York State Parole Board
joined by Gov. Dewey in de-
nouncing Mr.. Wagner, but he
left open the possibility that the
list might be made possible.

acting Lieutenant Governor
added:
When a jurisdictional dis
pute arose, I would ask him if he
could help. He would say he
didn't know. That is all I ever
discussed with Mr.. Fay. All
know is that we never had a
strike. The jurisdictional dis
putes were settled"
The very next day, Gov. Dewey
removed Fay from convenient
Sing Sing and sent him to New
York's penal Siberia-Clinton
Prison at Dannemora, N. Y, 200
miles upstate.
"How are things in Dame
mora?" quipped Mr.. HALEY i'm
mediately. as he sought to make
campaign capital of obvious

The Wicks case became a hot
talking point against the Repub-
lican Party on the Mayoral cam
paign. Democratic Candidate
Robert F. Wagner demanded
that Mr.. Wicks resign.
II shall not resign any posi-
ton I now hold" replied the de-
flant Mr.. WickS.
But Gov. Dewey asked if he
was satisfied with Mr.. Wicks' ex-
planation of his visits to Fay,
snapped curt, mo"
Wicks Refused to Resign.
This week he called Mr.. Wicks
on the carpet at Albany and
suggested that Mr.. Wicks resign
as majority leader, a post which
automatically makes him acting
lieutenant governor. Mr.. Wicks,
65, has been a Senator for %
years and majority leader since
1949. He is a G. o. P. State
power in his own right.
1.-THE Senator declined to re-
sign," admitted Gov. Dewey after
their conference.
Mr.. WickS announced:
"The Governors request was
refused on the ground that 1T
was not within his province as
Governor to ask for my resigna-
tion. I was elected to my po-
sition as majority leader of the
Senate by members of that
body.
"Inasmuch, however, as a
question has been raised con-
cerning my fitness to hold this
Office. I shall submit my resig-
nation at the next session of
the Legislature and let the Sen
ate pass upon my fitness"
Gov. Dewey then ordered the
November II special session,
stalking his own future on the
line and preparing a showdown
that could divide the Republican
Party on the very eve of the 1854
gubernatorial campaign.
But what Of the raceway scan

pers scanned the State Harness

Heading the list was j. Russell
Sprague, Republican national
committeeman and long a right
hand man of Gov. Dewey.
On Long Island, one of the
Roosevelt Raceway stockholders
proved to be Irving Bergman,
son-in-law of Benjamin Fein-
berg, Gov. Dewey's State Public
Service Commission chairman.
Mr.. Bergman promptly lost his

HoYa 4-Mi|e Team
Gets Another Shot
Al Kansas Friday

Georgetown's 4-mile relay
team, winner in its first test at
the Seton Hall Relays Saturday,
takes another crack at Kansas
in the Drake Relays this week
end at Des Moines. Iowa.
Kansas, anchored by Yves San
tee, nosed out Georgetown in a
| great race in 17:15.9 last year
and their return meeting is ex-
pected to be one of the features
of Fridays events.
Georgetown also will tangle
with Kansas and Santee in the
distance medley Saturday, but
it's doubtful whether the Hoyas
also will run in the 2-mile re-
lay Saturday against the Illinois
team. The Il1ini, featuring Sta
cey Siders, also noSed out the
GU runners at Des Moines last
year and in the Birmingham Re-
lays this year.
Georgetown's winning time in
the rain and mud at the Seton
Hall meet was 1922, far be-
hind Kansas best of 17:14 in
the Texas Relays last month.
But running conditions were poor
last Saturday and Georgetown
wasn't pressed in winning by $50
yards over Syracuse. Coach
Frank Sevigne thinks his lineup
fof Ed Kirk, Carl Joyce, Charley
ECapozzoli and Joe LaPierre is
capable of getting very close to
the Kansas time.
Georgetown's distance medley
time of 10:22.5 Saturday COM
pares faborably, considering the
sloppy footing, with Kansas best
of 1O:15.7 in the Texas Relays.
The best GU has done under
good conditions in this event is
step or two behind Michigan'S
1917 in the Birmingham Relays.
Michigan is not entered at
Drake, but instead, will run in
the Penn Relays.
The Hoya lineup in the med
ley is the same as in the 4-mile,
except that Vince Kelly or Don
Stonehouse runs instead of Kirk.
Georgetown will be represent
ed at the Penn Relays by Ray
Brophy, hurdler, and a fresh
man mile relay team. the one
that was upset by Morgan State
at Seton Hall.
Also entered in the Penn Re-
lays from the Washington area
