Sunday noon the Civil Defense had trial blow of one of it's aux iary siren located near the hos pital. The results were not as satisfactory as had been anticipa- ted, as people in several parts of town failed to hear the siren.
 Civil defense officials have been working since then on a suitable place for the big siren to be cen trally located. Through the CO., operation of the city and the school board, it has been decided to install the giant siren on the school.
 This siren is directional and automatically turns as it blows in all directions, making a com plete circle every Is seconds.
 Through the cooperation of civ ic agencies, it is hoped to have the installation complete in about a week and trial test will be an- nounced ahead of time.

Arlington Turmoil

If the President got bored
with other political news last
week, he could always look
right across the Potomac to
Arlington County, where poll
tics boiled with enough vigor
to warm up two or three much
bigger campaigns. Three seats
in the Virginia House of Dele
gates were up for grabs and
six candidates were doing the
grabbing: Incumbent j. May
nard Magruder, c. Harrison
Mann, jr., and Mrs. Kathryn
Stone, Democrats; Raymond
F. Belew. Robert A. McGinnis
and j. Fuller Groom, Repub-
licans.
Also open was a seat on the
Arlington County Board,
sought by Glen Bayless, Nom
Partisan; Wesley w. Cooper,
Democrat, and Richard L.
Parli. Republican.
And, liveliest battle of all,
two seats on the school board
were at issue In a bitter con-
test between Dolph Hayes and
James r. Miles, backed by the
Arlington Independent Move
ment, and DR.. E. r. Draheim
and L. Clark Keating, candi-
dates of the School Board
Nominating Convention. Can
didate Miles was the one who
injected the inevitable issue
by charging that the present
school board permitted teach
ers to interrupt the teaching
of history to teach the facts
of communism. What is more,
he said, they used some books
whose authors had been called
members of Red fronts by a
California State Senate COM
mittee. When a forum audi
ence demanded to know
whether he was charging pres
ent board members, candidates,
or their supporters with being
Communist, Socialist, subver-
sive or leftist, Mr.. Miles
brought wry laughter by re-
spending: Direct accusation
is an actionable thing"

surprisingly prominent people
seem to have communicated
with the New York State Parole
Board on his behalf. But it
was enough to turn an already
close contest into a neck-and-
neck fight. The Democratic
candidate, Robert B. Meyner,
made the most of it, and Mr..
Troast's earlier attempts to
charge the Democrats with
crime and corruption dwindled
to a hoarse and shaken denial
that there was anything i'm
proper about his interest in the
convicted labor boss.
New York
Across the river in New York
City, joey Fay was also playing
a major part, in GbSentiG, in
the mayoralty election. Rob-
ert F. Wagner, jr., son OF the
late Senator and Democratic
candidate for Mayor. was hit
ting at his Republican oppo-
nent, Harold Riegelman, with
a charge that a Mr.. x,
high in the administration"
and close to Gov. Dewey, had
asked the Parole Board to free
Fay. Mr.. Wagner refused to
name "Mr. K" and the State
Supreme Court threw out his
suit to force the Parole Board
to disclose the names OF all
who had befriended Fay. Gov.
Dewey's bitter attacks on Mr..
Wagner indicated, however.
that the charge was hurting
him as well as Mr.. Riegelman.
With incumbent Mayor Vim
cent Impelliteri ruled of the
ballot as an independent can
didate because Of invalid sig
natures on his nomination
petitions, the third candidate,
Liberal Independent Rudolph
HALEY, was doing his best to
profit from the Riegelman-
Wagner mud-slinging. Both
HALEY and Wagner thought
they had an unexpected bo-
nanza when the State Depart
ment announced suspension OF
aid to Israel, but Mr.. Riegel-
man rushed to Washington,
the aid was restored (though
probably not as a result of
Mr.. Riegelman's trip, and the
so-calIed Jewish vote" pre-
sumably was appeased.

at 80 per cent Of parity, Mr..
Benson said, twas not a plan
at ALL" and he added that ST
haven't been able to bring my
self to feel yet there is any
practical way to support live
cattle"
The Secretary's stand
prompted MUS President
James Patton to tell his men,
bership that they should "get
intelligently angry"
Get ahold of your Con-
gresham" he urged, land tell
him 1854 is a year Of decision
and If he wants to stay in
Congress he had better listen
to the representatives of the
people instead of a lot of fat
cats who are playing ball with
the professors.
If that fails, he promised,
II expect to call a conclave
in Washington that will make
this seem like a very small
affair"
Some Leaders Worry
On this note of anger the
best advertised march on
Washington since the bonus
army came to an end. Al
though Mr.. Benson and his
boss professed to be unmoved
by it, a number of other Re-
publican politicians, including
Senate Majority Leader Know
land, were thoroughly dis
turbed. The G. o. P, said Mr..
Knowland, faces "a whale of
a big problem" in drafting a
new farm program. Senator
Frank Carlson of Kansas, an
early EiSenhower-for- President
man. cautioned that Mr.: Ben
son should hold up his pro-
posed reorganization of the
department until Congress has
a chance to look at it.
Democrats, Of course, made
the most Of Republican un-
happiness. Senator Kefauver
Of Tennessee said the Presi-
dent should call a special ses-
sion Of Congress unless Ben
son comes up with a sound
farm program in a hurry. The
President already had turned
thumbs down on this. Sena-
tor Kerr of Oklahoma re-
marked tartly that Benson
says he has an open mind, but
he doesn't want you to put
anything in it."
At weeks end only one in
f1uential Republican was in
the Secretary's corner. Chair
man Aiken of the Senate Ag-
riculture Committee urged
everybody to keep calm and be
patient with Mr.. Benson q lit
tie longer while he tried to
develop a program.
In the midst of this
wrangling, the administration
released two reports which al
most seemed designed to en-
barrass the party. The Bureau
of Agricultural Economics re-
ported that general farm in
come is down Z per cent below
1852, partly due to a 10 per
cent drop in cash receipts for
cattle and calves. And the
Bureau of Labor Statistics an
nounced that rising prices have
pushed the cost of living to a
record high for the seventh
month In a row.

Those big signs labelling
certain highways as civil de-
fense and military thorough
fares weren't put there just to
keep drivers civil defense con-
SciouS.
But at least one civil defense
official says that's about all
they're good for. The signs,
which already have appeared
on arterial roads in Maryland,
read: I'm the event Of an
enemy attack this highway
may be closed to all traffic ex-
cept military and civil defense
vehicles"
The idea for the signs orig
mated at the Federal Civil
Defense Administration, which
recommended that State CD
organizations determine which
highways would most likely be
needed for emergency use in
case of attack. Some States
got right to work on the idea,
but then there arose q number
of problems, mostly involving
interstate coordination. What
happens to emergency traffic
on a designated highway when
it reaches q State line and
finds the road open to general
traffic and crowded with non
emergency vehicles? Or what
happens when a road is desig-
mated one-way in one State
and two-way in an adjoining
Commonwealth?
The Federal Civil Defense
Administration asked the Bu-
reau of Public Roads, which
often works closely with State
highway departments, to de-
wise a plan co-ordinating the
emergency highways. That
was months ago and the Bu-
reau says it hasn't started on
the plan yet. They say 1t will
require months of work, once
it does get started.
Stotes Forge Ahead
Meantime, the more active
State CD organizations are
going ahead on their own with
the task of co-ordinating the
emergency highway system.
Directors in Virginia, Mary
land and Pennsylvania already
have completed the job, in
each case devising a plan with
neighboring States. And the
directors in these three States
say they had received no help
from the Bureau of Public
ds on this particular
matter.
But Pennsylvania has de-
cided that it is not going to
put up the signs. DR.. Richard
Gerstell, State CD director,
gives a number Of reasons. In
the first place, he says, 1--WE
can't predict conditions until
they happen. We might erect
the signs on the Pennsylvania
turnpike, but a situation may
develop which might require
that the turnpike be kept
open. That could be deter
mined by the location of the
target. If Pittsburgh is at
tackled, we'd probably want
the turnpike restricted to
emergency traffic"
But If Philadelphia is
Evening star., 1953-11-01

bombed, he indicated. the
turnpike might best be left
open. Also. DR.. Gerstell says.
"Our police people tell us that
signs alone will never do the
job. Well have to have our
auxiliary police to control
traffic. In case of an attack,
most people would be too will
ing to disregard the signs"
This does not mean, how
ever, that Pennsylvania has no

plan for emergency utilization
Of its highways. The State
has several plans which set
aside roads that will be re-
Stricted to civil defense and
military use under any one of
a number of situations which
might be determined by the
nature Of the attack and the
location Of the attack. The

The Navy Departments plans
call for a $1,000 reduction in its
civilian jobs by next June 80.
About $4,000 of this cut already
has been achieved and the re-
manning 5000 reductions can be
taken care of by not filling va
cancies, Navy officials say.
The Army Department may
trim about 10000 jobs out of its
present 100000 strength, but
these cuts also will be achieved
by attrition, Army officials be-
lieye. Some of the reductions
have already been made.
The Air Force is in very good
shape as far as having to make
job cuts are concerned. The
very small reductions that might
be required can easily be achieved
by not filling vacancies.
Most of the reductions in the

in field installations. Defense

Democratic Women
Hear Candidates for
Virginia Delegates
By Alex R. Preston

All of the six Democratic can
didates for the Virginia House of
Delegates from the nearby area
outlined their campaign pledges
last night at a dinner, meeting
of the Women's Democratic Club
of the 10th congressional district.
Their promises included a con-
certed drive to repeal the poll
tax, improve roads, increase
teachers salaries and additional
appropriations for health and
mental care.
One of hem, John C. Webb of
Fairfax, said, I'm going to Rich
mond with an ak to grind-to
weed out corruption and ineffi-
cheney in government wherever
I find it."
The general campaign theme
of candidates for top State of :
fees. including Thomas B. STAN
ley for Governor, has been that
Virginia, under many years of
Democratic rule, has had no
graft or corruption connected
with it's administrations.
Mrs. Kathryn Stone of Arling-
ton, elaborated on an earlier
plan to sponsor legislation to
forestall delays in the sale of
bonds as a result of taxpayers
suits.
Most of the candidates also
promised to back legislation at
Evening star., 1953-10-01

the next General Assembly Civ
ing Federal employees the right
TO serve on local governing
bodies.
Mrs. Stone offered the bond
plan in an obvious reference to
the effect of a series of suits
against the Arlington School
Board by Attorney John Locke
Green. The suits held up the
sale of about $2.5 million in
school construction bonds for
about a year until the State Re-
tirement Board bought them
Tuesday.
Delegate Armistead Boothe of
Alexandria referred to Federal
employees as "the group that is
more Disseminated against than
any other in the country" He
said that, if reelected and "if
it is within our power to do, we
will see that they can serve in
capacities where there is no con-
flict with their Federal jobs"
Delegate j. Maynard Magruder
of Arlington recalled his past
efforts to permit Government
workers to hold certain local
Offices.
Both of the candidates from
the Fairfax- Falls Church district,
Omer L. Hirst and Mr.. webb,
made direct attack on the Re-
publican opposition. They ac-
cused their opponents of lift
ing" the platform of the Demo-
cratic candidates in the primary.
Harrison Mann, candidate from
Arlington, struck out at ex-
tremists within the party, de-
claring those who whould make
it the liberal party" and those
who would make it "the con-
servative party of the old South, :"
are equally wrong.

own attitude
