Big Brass Caught
With His Breaches
Buoy Away Down
BY The Associated Press

NORFOLK, Va, Aug. 8.-The
Pentagon got its pants wet the
other day.
Officers aboard the battleship
Missouri tell this story:
Frank C. Nash, assistant secre-
tary of defense, boarded the
Missouri when she stopped at
Guantanamo on her way back
to Norfolk from a midshipman
training cruise in South Ameri-
can and Caribbean waters.
Somewhere between Guam
tanamo and Norfolk arrange
ments were made to transfer Mr.
Nash from the Mighty Mo to a
destroyer in the training squad
ron. A line was rugged between
the two ships and Mr.. Nash
climbed into the breeches buoy
When he was about midway
something happened, and the
assistant secretary was down in
the drink.
Cameras clicked as shutter
bugs had a field day. Mr.. Nash
reached the destroyer safe and
sound, but dripping wet. Later
examination of the film, how,
ever, caused great disappoint-
ment. Some pictures were out of
focus and the others were too
small to be used.

Hogerty's Son Delivers Mail
In Arlington During Summer

To a little white. mutt-like
dog in Arlington, biting a post
man was nothing. He'd done it
before.
So last month, when a tall and
raw-boned postman came through
the gate with the morning mail,
he did it again. A little nip just
below the left knee.
What the little dog had done
was to nip the son of preSi-
Dental press secretary, James C.
Hagerty. Of course, it was just
another postman to the dog and
as a matter of fact, that's the
way Roger Hagerty, 81, likes to
feel.
The dog bite gave Roger an
"in" with the other postmen
at the Preston King Post Office
Station at 5877 North Washing
ton boulevard. Most of them
have been bitten and bear the
scars as a badge of their &C.
cupation. Roger, despite his
celebrated father, is just another
guy around the Office to lug the
mail.

The council didn't outlaw

And the council is distributing
such signs free to any property

since he put up one of the signs.
Others report the same results,

SO Mass in Protest
On Move 10 Register
Arlington PeddIers

A swarm of more than so men
and women who sell vacuum
cleaners, brushes, home gadgets,
corsets and other wares descend
ed on the Arlington County
Board this morning.
The board hastily postponed
for further study a proposed
ordinance to require "the regis
tration and regulation of ped
dlers. solicitors and itinerant
merchants.
A preliminary draft drawn up
by the Arlington Common
wealth's Attorneys Office would
require hucksters to be finger
printed at police headquarters
before they could be issued a
permit to work.
Diaries Voice Protest.
Leroy S. Bendheim, mem
Der of the Alexandria City Coun-
Gil, appeared before the board
to present the opposition of area
diaries to the ordinance. Speak
ing for the Alexandria Dairy
Co., Chestnut Farms and Thomp-
sons Dairy, he asked specifically
that dairy employees be exempted
from requirements of the law.
At least 10 of the statesmen
present were applauded as they
called the ordinance "discrim-
inatory."
A board member, Alvin F.
Kimel, also said he once sold
vacuum cleaners and ladies
hosiery. said the board also
would like to hear from Airing
ton citizens groups.
Object to Fingerprinting.
The statesmen, most of them
Arlington residents, made clear
their belief that if f1ngerprinting
is good for one group of profess
sion. it should be good for all
county residents.
L. B. Price, representing STAN
ley Home Products. declared:
Direct selling is one OF tine
last frontiers of individualism
A summer of selling for a
young man is worth a year of
college"
The board agreed to reopen

Arlington Candidates
Reject 6. 0. P. Bid
To Discuss Schools

Two candidates for the Airing
ton School Board have turned
down an invitation to meet with
other candidates and discuss
current school issues.
E. R. Draheim and Clark
Heating, candidates nominated
by the school board nominating
convention, rejected the invita-
ton of Republican County Board
Candidate Richard L. Parli.
They had been invited by Mr.
Parli to meet with candidates oil
the Arlington Independent
Movement, James Miles and
Dolph Hayes, to discuss "areas
of agreement and disagreement
about school issues. Mr.. Parli
suggested that the meeting could
pinpoint the major campaign
issues and do away with a good
deal of name-calling and mis-
understanding in the campaign
The proposed meeting was to be
held at his house.
Only One Issue.
Mr.. Draheim and Mr.. Heating
declared:
"As far as we're concerned
there's only one issue in the
school board campaign: How to
give the children of Arlington
the good schools they deserve. -
"At the time we were nomi-
mated we expressed our willing
ness and desire to discuss all the
issues involved in the coming
school board campaign. This we
stand ready and willing to do at
any open public meeting. If there
are areas of agreement and dis
agreement, they should be
thoroughly aired before all of
the voters.
1.-The degeneration into an
emotional, name-calling contest
as referred to in Mr.. Parli's in
vitation reflects the attitude and
actions to date of no one other
than AIM candidate James
Miles.
1--WE do not expect to carry out
a mud-slinging campaign. We see
no useful purpose to be served
by our attendance at Mr.. Parli's
closed meeting August H."
Opponents Invited.
Mr.. Parli also invited his two
foes in the county board contest
to attend the meeting. They are
Democrat Wesley Cooper and
non-partisan Glen Bayless.
Mr.. Bayless accepted the in
vitation. but said he thought Mr..
Draheim and Mr.. Heating were
right to decline.
II fully agree that DR.. Dra-
helm and DR.. Heating should
refrain from any meetings that
may. inadvertently or not, con-
meet them with Democratic or
Republican political activity. I
have accepted Mr.. Parli's invita-
ton because he and Mr.. Cooper
are my opponents" said Mr..
BayleSS. He added:
II feel compelled to support
the statement of DR.. Draheim
and DR.. Heating that the name
calling issue certainly was not
prompted by any action or state
ment of the candidates of the
school board nominating con-
vention, but rather was inSti-
gated by their opponents"

Planners Seek !
Talk 10 Settle
Route 24O Row
Commission Wants
Experts to Confer
For All Factions
BY George Beveridge

The next move in nearby
Maryland's Route 240 contro-
versy centered today around eff
forts to get staff experts for all
parties to the dispute together
for a conference.
The National Capital Plan
ming Commission, at a meeting
yesterday. instructed its director,
John Nolen, jr., to set up such
a conference in the hope of get
ting at least a compromise solu-
ton out of the muddled road
fight.
Proposals for such a meeting
already had been made, but there
has been no evidence of a fast
get-together.
At the same time, the planners
told Mr.. Nolen to explain to
other groups the commission
hope for solution. It boils down
to proposal that Route 24O's
southeast leg be brought toward
Washington only far enough to
connect with the inter-county
belt route.
Through Part Of Park.
The belt route is proposed to
extend through a Maryland part
of Rock Creek Park between
Forest Glen and Wisconsin ave-
nue. on its way across Montgom-
cry and Prince Georges counties.
The Maryland Roads Commission
also proposes, however, to bring
the 240 leg through the same
park section-East of Wisconsin
avenue-and continue it on to
the East-West highway.
The planning commission
did not make public all details of
it's alternate proposal. officials
said, however, it calls for a con-
nection for Route 240's southeast
leg with the inter- county belt
west of Wisconsin avenue-and
outside Rock Greek Park.
Mr.. Nolen said the plan would
save miles of road lanes and
make unnecessary several road
structures proposed by the roads
commission. However, it also of
course would kill any immediate
extension of Route 240 to the
East-West highway near the Dis
trict line. The Maryland Roads
Commission intends that the
Route 240 leg later should be
carried to downtown Washing
ton along the western side of
Rock Greek Park.
No Action on Request.
The planning commission de-
cided to take no immediate &C
ton on new wrinkle in the
road fight. This was q request
from two Maryland citizens
groups that the planning COM
mission reverse it's approval of
the Maryland section of Rock
Creek Park for even the belt
route.
The Parkwood and Rock Creek
Hills Citizens Associations, in
asking that both highways be
kept out of the park near their
subdivisions, wrote that it was
inconsistent to deny park use
for one highway and approve it
for another.
When the commission ap-
proved the belt route through
the park several months ago,
however, officials said they did
so in the belief that it was the
only practical location for the
belt route. of which they ap-
proved.
At yesterdays concluding ses-
sion of their monthly meeting,
commission members took a
three-hour field trip. Points in
spected included the partially
completed East Capitol Street
Bridge, the Baltimore Washing
ton parkway and Kenilworth
avenue. Kenilworth avenue, i'm
proved, will be a major link be-
tween the parkway and the new
bridge.
