The star, Senator Mccarthy,
ploughs his high-shouldered way
through the crowds amid small
cheers. He is tanned and grim

Except when he is riding down

more in sorrow than in anger
pointing out the honest mis-

One woman spectator is doubt

Annexationists Lose
First Court Battle
BY the Associated Press

SPOTSYLVANIA, Va, April %.
An annexation suit filed by
residents of a suburban Fred
ericksburg area has lost its first
court battle.
An investigation has shown
that less than 81 per cent Of the
areas qualified voters signed a
petition for the move.
But an attorney for the resi-
dents, William j. GobSon, has
said he may ask to file additional
petitions with more signatures
when a three-judge annexation
court resumes May 4.
A day-long meeting of attor-
neys here yesterday found 1876
signatures on the petition. The
conference found at least 288
voters in the area.
The suit is scheduled to be
argued in May in Spotsylvania
County Circuit Court. The resi-
dents have asked that a q
mile area be annexed to
Fredericksburg and be hooked in
to city water lines.
If Mr.. Gibson does file other
petitions with more signatures,
commemorative Attorney T.
Stokeley Coleman warned Spot
sylvania will summon a group
of the original petition -signers
to testify they no longer favor
annexation.

Police Trial Board
Urged 10 Recommend
Dismissal Of Beach

Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert D. Wise today asked q
Police Trial Board to recon-
mend dismissal of Police 1nspec-
tor Beverly C. Beach.
His request came as the hear
ing of administrative charges
against the inspector closed, fol-
lowing a stormy statement by
the inspectors attorney, Charles
E. Ford, that he would not "stul-
tify myself" by answering Mr..
Wise's closing arguments.
Mr.. Wise told the board that
the evidence he had submitted
called for a recommendation of
dismissal.
Inspector Not Called.
The arguments came after the
defense rested it's case without
calling the inspector to the stand.
Mr.. Wise said the inspector
erred when he failed to get per-
mission for private party from
all Georgetown businessmen who
had contributed to a 1850 Christ
mas charity fund in the 7th
precinct.
Mr.. Wise recalled that InSpec-
tor Beach used the bulk of the
money to buy food for Christmas
baskets for poor families in
Georgetown. Then, Mr.. Wise
said, the inspector used what
was left over to throw a party
for 7th precinct policemen ana
their families.
Before the arguments began.
several additional character wit
nesses testified in favor of In
spector Beach. Among them was
Commodore James K. Varda-
mann, one-time naval aide to
former President Truman.
Several Georgetown business
men testified yesterday that they
contributed to the Christmas
charity fund and later told In
spector Beach it was all right
with them to use any money that
was left for a party.
One of the charges against the
inspector is that his use of such
surplus for a Christmas party
was conduct prejudicial to the
reputation and good order of
the police force.
Asked to Bring Records.
Among those who said they
contributed to the fund for
Christmas poor baskets. then ap-
proved the use of a surplus for
party, were:
Louis Levy. a liquor dealer;
Herbert L. Rosendorf. operator
of an electrical appliance store.
and Martin Levin and Irving
Kessler, partners in a restau-
rant business. Each was in
structed to come back tomorrow
and bring any records they might
have showing how much they
contributed.
