2 Convicts Escape
Camp and Beg Ride
Into Falls Church

Two convictS escaped yeSter-
day from Virginia State Convict
Camp No. 80 and caught a ride
to Falls Church with two teen
aged couples after posing as
truck drivers.
Camp Supt. M. C. Russell
identified the men as Hodges C.
Brown, "a, of Burkes Gardens.
Va, serving an eight-year term
for forgery, and Kenneth B.
Robertson, 20, of Danville, serv-
ing a seven-year sentence for
grand larceny. Both were trus-
tvs, Mr.. Russell said.
Camp officials learned the men
got a ride with the teenagers
from Haymarket after telling
them that they were truck driv-
ers who needed some parts to
repair a breakdown. Falls
Church police later learned the
men had been let out Of the car
near q garage in the city.
Mr.. Russell said the convicts
had abandoned prison garb and
were wearing civilian clothes.
Camp No. 80 is between Kamp
Washington and Centreville.

Alexandra 5 Mayor
Studies Court Ruling
On Loudoun Veto

Alexandra Mayor Marshall J..
Beverly Is studying the recent
Loudoun County Circuit Court
decision which holds that may
ors can veto actions of council
members.
The decision involved a dis
pute in Leesburg, but the ruling
might be interpreted as applying
to all municipalities in Virginia.
The court held that q section of
the Virginia constitution grant
ing the veto power to mayors
applied even when local charters
provide otherwise.
Alexandria has a charter
which does not grant the mayor
any veto powers. but an attorney
who checked the State constitu-
ton confirmed that there was a
section which grants such pow
ers to mayors.
Mayor Beverley said If it turns
out that he has the right of veto
he would not hesitate to use it
when he feels compelled to do so.
He often is at odds with coun-
Gil members. He cast the only
dissenting vote against the city's
1954-55 budget which requires
q series of new taxes. and de-
clared that he would have de-
lighted in using the veto power
on the budget. The mayor said
he would be inclined to use it
also on the proposed commercial
redevelopment plan which comes
before the council July Is for
final action, but a majority of
the councilmen already have an
nounced that they oppose the
project.

High Bids Stall Contract
On Martinsburg School
speeIel Dispe.sh 70 The ssur

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, July
3.-Awarding Of q contract for
construction of an addition to
Musselman High School in Ber-
kelley County was deferred FRI
day night by the Board of Educ
alton when it found all the bids
we're higher than the architects
estimates. .
Lowest bid was $202,175 or
$17,175 more than anticipated. It
was thought the construction
cost will be around $185, 900, with
$l1 ZOO for architects fees and
several thousand for furnishings.
This would bring the total UP to
5000, 900. The bond issue passed
last year included $4,000 for
the Musselman project. The c.
H. Musselman Co., with fruit
processing operations near the
school location. provided an
extra $4,000.
The board agreed to take the
bids under consideration. It has
80 days to make a decision.
Meantime an effort will be made
to delete certain items and
reduce the cost.
