Regain Dignity Here
After Airline Holds
Nose at Their Odor
BY Harry Lever

Ten normally flightless pen
gums were getting over their
first encounter with the air age
today, during which their feath-
ers were somewhat rufled.
Before their arrival last night
at the Zoo, after their long trip
from Santiago, Chile, they:

another penguin fatality IN

who used their influence to

It was a sad tale Of travail

they'll get over their Indignation.
Wash Up and Settle Down.
They're resting up in the pool

gone swimming and washed up a
bit. But they're not necessarily
washing up because they smell"
AS to their trip, he added:
Let us just say they were de-
layed in Miami"
That was putting 1t mildly
What happened in the Florida
city was a story.
Normally sensitive because OF
their noted clumsineSs, the pen
gums, of the Humboldt family,
were downright miserable when
they were advised that they

Beverley on Trip,
|Unconcerned Over
Council Censure

Mayor Marshall j. Beverley of
Alexandria was on vacation to-
day apparently unconcerned over
the censure heaped upon him by
a majority of his fellow council
members.
The Mayor spoke at the outset
OF a special council meeting held
last night to consider his con-
duct. then departed while the
other councilmen went on to
charge him with a long list of
contradictory statements and ac-
tons harmful to the city.
A major issue before the spe-
cial session was the Mayors re-
cent announcement that City
Manager Ira Willard should be
replaced. The mayor met this
head-on. declaring that at least
two other council members
John Ewald and Vice Mayor Le-
roy Bendheim--also had stated
privately that Mr.. Willard should
be dismissed. Mr.. Ewald and Mr..
Bendheim later denied to re-
porters that they ever made any
positive statements about firing
Mr.. Willard.
Another action of the Mayor
which prompted four council
members to call the meeting
were Mr.. Beverley's criticism OF
the current Wharton survey OF
city administration,
Councilmen obviously were
disappointed to see the Mayor
depart before charges started to
fly in his direction, but they
went ahead to adopt the fol-
lowing statements and resolu-
tionS:
!. "We have examined the
Mayors charges against the city
manager. and believe them to
be unfounded. :.
2. 1--WE conclude in reference
to the. Wharton survey that thu
Mayors position is. contrary tt
his pledge that he would support
the survey. ;"
8. Councils adoption of the
1954-5 budget was conscien-
tiously made after hours of seri-
Gus thought. and is considered
fair and adequate to provide for
the necessary services of the
city. -"
4. 1--WE are of the opinion that
the action Of Mayor Beverley
in discharging the Alexandra
Council Housing Committee ex-
ceeded his authority. was Illegal
and ill-advised, and the new
committee appointed by him
can only act in an advisory
capacity to the Mayor and car
nowise be termed or considered
as a council committee. The
original Housing Committee OF
the council is hereby fully re-
stored and reactivated in its

tempted discharge by the Mayor
The committee appointed by the

an advisory committee to him
