Don't Judge Lawyer
By Clients, Bar Says

The District Bar Association
hopes the public won't judge a
lawyer by his clients.
The group has adopted a reso-
luton pointing out that every
body-no matter what his views,
reputation or character-is en-
titled to be represented in court
by an attorney.
The resolution said the asso-
citation "reaffirms the principle
that the right of defendants to
the benefit of assistance of
counsel and the duty of the
bar to provide such aid even to
the most unpopular defendants
involves public acceptance Of
the correlative right of a lawyer
to represent and defend any
client without being penalized
by having imputed to him his
clients reputation, views or
character"
The association said it will
support any lawyer against
criticism in connection with his
clients.
The resolution was put before
the group by Charles E. Ford,
noted criminal lawyer, who has
represented various reputed
gamblers both in the courts and
at Senate crime hearings, as
we'll as police officers accused of
miSdeeds.

FenWick Berates
Broyhi||, SaysG.0.P
Planned Firings

State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick, Democrat, of Arlington
has charged that career civil
service employees are being fired
indiscriminately under the guise
of economy as a part of a we'll
laid plan to create confusion so
Republicans can be appointed to
replace them.
In his strongest public attack
against Republican Representa-
tive Broyhill, the Arlington State
legislator asked why the 10th
Virginia District Congressman
waited until so many lost their
jobs before he became concerned.
Called Part of Plan.
"The indiscriminate firing of
career civil service workers under
the guise of economy" Mr.. Fen
wick said, 'is only a part of a
well-laid plan calculated to re-
suit in such confusion that po-
litical appointees may be taken
on.
"ThiS has resulted in some
5000 workers in Northern Vir-
ginia, many of them career peo-
pie. having lost their jobs.
"It is interesting to note that
Congressman Broyhill has sud-
denly become greatly concerned
over these constituents. Why did
the Congressman wait until these
people have lost their jobs, a de-
lay of nearly nine months, be-
fore he, proudly announces that
he has taken the matter up with
the President?
Mailed Fist Seen.
"The demands of the profess
sional Republican politician for
political patronage are becoming
more and more nSlStent ana
from now on it will be the mailed
fist instead of the velvet glove"
Mr.. Fenwick also charged in
his statement that "the special
interest group which forms the
backbone of the Republican
Party" is attempting to sabotage
such programs as rural electrifi-
cation, public power and agricul-
tural supports"
Mr.. Fenwick conceded that
economy dictates superf1uous
Government employees be dis
missed in an orderly manner, but
career employees should be pro-
tected, he said.

Army 10 Sell
Tract Wanted
yAIexandria
Asks Congressional
Approval on Deal
Near Jones Point
By George Beveridqe

The Army has asked the
House and Senate Armed Serv-
ices Committees to approve its
disposition of a 52-acre Potomac
River waterfront tract being
sought by the City of Alexandria.
The area, formerly used by the
Signal Corps as a radio station,
is near Jones Point, Alexandria.
on the west bank of the Potomac
at Hunting Greek.
If the Capitol Hill groups ap-
prove disposition, the land will
be transferred to the General
Services Administration. GSA, in
turn, will offer it to other Fed
eral agencies. If none wants it,
the land could be sold as surplus
property.
Use Not Determined.
The Alexandria City Council is
on record in favor of acquiring
the site, but hasn't nailed down
specific use for it. City officials
said one main interest is to pro-
tect approaches to the proposed
Jones Point bridge, and listed
these other possible useS":: Site
of an armory, development as a
recreation area, partial use by
local National Guard units and
site for a sewage disposal plant.
A GSA spokesman said claims
of city or State governments
for surplus land are not con-
sidered at the same time as
it is offered to other Federal
agencies. He said he assumed
q municipality would pay for the
land in the same manner as
private investor.
Price Not Explored.
Alexandria officials said the
purchase price of the land is
lone point we haven't explored
very fully yet
The Armed Services Commit
tees must concur in all military
land disposition, and machinery
for handling the Jones Point
area swung into operation as
soon as the request was re-
ceived yesterday. The Army re-
quest is being circulated to men,
bers of both committees. In the
absence of opposition, fast ac-
ton is expected.
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican. of Virginia, who wants
to get the land for Alexandria
announced he would ask each
member of the House group to
expedite approval and not hold
hearings on it.
Seven Acres for Navy.
The entire tract consists of
about SO acres, of which 7
acres is earmarked for transfer
to the Navy. About two-thirdS
of the land was reclaimed in a
1910 Potomac River dredging
operation, and the rest was ac-
quired by condemnation in 1910
at a cost of $89,275. Structures
on the property were valued by
the Army at $101, 500.
The area, known officially as
the Battery Cove Military Res
ervation, was set aside for mill
tary purposes in 1910 For scV-
eral years, however, it has been
vacant and in custody Of the
Corps of Engineers.
