cages there shall be, is a reali-
zation on the part of builders
that whoever controls the
flow of credit, through Sec
ondary-market buying, has the
power to turn on or off, as
at a spigot, low-cost housing,
moderate-priced housing and
high-cost housing, and at the
same time can fairly well des-
ignate the areas where houses
shall or Shan't be built.
Builders want a high volume
of housing. In their present
mood, they feel more inclined
to trust the Government to
maintain a high housing vol
ume spread over a broad area
than they are to trust a
privately operated, banker
dominated corporation to do so.

side, and brace it with shorter
lengths, measured off to stop the

Any handyman should be

the address as Mr.. Lanes first

quet at 8 pm. September 18.
Mr.. Lane has shown no in

only candidate for Governor
that could restore peace in the

Byrd Paper Praises
Decision on Weston
BY the Associated Press

WINCHESTER, Sept. IL. A
decision of the Virginia Supreme
Court reversing the contempt Of
court conviction of an Arlington
County minister who criticized a
Circuit Court Judge, was ap-
plauded editorially by the VIM
chester Evening Star.
The Star, owned by the family
of Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of
Virginia and edited by the Sena-
tors son, Harry F.. Byrd. jr.,
said, though, it felt the Rev. Ross
Allen WeSton'S criticism of Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy was grossly
unfair" and unwarranted.
In a sermon the Unitarian
minister criticized Judge Nc
Carthy's decision holding Fed
eral employees were not eligible
to serve on the Arlington County
Board. The Supreme Court
overturned the decision of a
substitute judge in that court
holding the minister in con-
tempt.
The Stars editorial said "the
right of Americans to speak or
write, even critically or harShly.
of public officials must not be
abridged. Judge McCarthy's re-
course. it seems to us, should
have been under the laws of
libel. if he felt there was suf-
f1cient merit to the case. The
contempt of court power never
was intended to silence criti-
cism of judges, only to enable
justice to be dispensed without
obstruction"

Wilson Pledges
Alexandra Aid
On Jones Point
BroyhiIl Reports
Defense Secretary
Supports Project

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, of Virginia assured
this week by the Alexandria City
Council that it desires to obtain
the Government-owned Jones
Point tract, today said Sec
retary of Defense Wilson has
pledged "his complete co-opera-
ton" in clearing the tract for
Alexandria's use.
Secretary Wilson expressed
himself as entirely sympathetic
to the proposal and said, gen.
orally speaking. he favors turn
ing over facilities no longer Of
use to the armed forces to COM
munlties and municipalities"
Mr.. Broyhill said.
Site Proposed as Park.
The 59-acre Battery Cove
Jones Point tract could be used
as a park and site for other
municipal facilities, Mayor Mar
shall j. Beverley of Alexandria
has said.
The City Council Wednesday
unanimously voted its readiness
to take over the land if pos
Slble. But Councilmen Leroy S.
Bendheim and Frank Mann de-
clared their affirmative votes
were not to be construed as in
dorsementS of any specific
project for the site.
Representative Broyhill said
he conferred yesterday with
Secretary Wilson and Franklin
G. Floete. assistant Secretary
of Defense in charge of prop
critics and installations. He
said he was assured that Army,
Navy and Air Force clearance,
barring unforeseen develop
ments, could be quickly OBJ
tanned.
The land was used during
World War II by the Signal
Corps as a communication
center. Recently unused build
ingS at the point have been
turned over to the Army for
storing medical supplies.
Possible Sewage Plant Site.
A possible use by Alexandria
would be the installation of a
modern sewage treatment plant
on the point. City Manager Ira
F. Willard said such a plant, oc-
cupying about Is acres, would
save the city 100000 at that To-
cation.
The proposed Maryland-Vir-
ginia bridge across the Potomac
referred to as the Jones Point
Bridge-would bisect the tract,
Alexandria officials, however, de-
clared the bridge approaches on
the Virginia shore would be ele-
vated and would not preclude
use of the land for municipal
purposes.
The Virginia Congressman said
General Services Administrator
will have charge of the tract
after the Defense Department
has cleared it.
II expect to contact the GSA
to remove any possible STUN
bling blocks that may arise
there" he said.
