Councilman Doubts
Mayor Of Alexandra
Has Power Of Veto

Alexandria Councilman Frank
E. Mann doub BITS that Mayor Mar
shall A. Beverley can veto action
of fellow council members, and
believes he has legal proof to
back up his views.
Councilman Mann announced
yesterday he checked the State
constitution and code after hear
ing Of recent Loudoun County
Circuit Court decision which held
that the Mayor of Leesburg had
veto rights. Mayor Beverley
cited the decision as a basis for
having the veto in Alexandria.
According to Councilman Mann,
a section of the State constitu-
ton granting veto rights to
mayors is nullified by another
section. He cited Section 1T,
which specifically permits the
General Assembly to establish
municipal governments without
regard to provisions in Article 8
wherein the veto authority is
found. In addition, said Mr..
Mann, the State code Which pro-
vides for a city manager govern
mente like Alexandria's fatty
states that the Mayor does not
have veto powers.
Mr.. Mann said he checked
into the law because he was con-
cerned over the possibility of a
single man on the seven-man
council having veto powers. He
said he was even more concerned
over the arrogance" of the
Mayor in suggesting possible use
OF veto power without making
sure it was legal.

Zoo Gets Bad Guy, Game Lad,
Emperor, Builder and Bum

types. DR.. William s. Mann,
Zoo director. said his place has
not had an emperor goose for
about 10 years.
Mario DePrato, DR.. Mann's
reptile keeper, contributed the
builder, a gopher turtle, and
the bum, a gopher frog.
Mr.. DePrato has been on va
cation in Florida. He made a
busman's holiday out of it.
The turtle has the gopher con-
nection because he builds his
own houses. digging shelters re-
sembling gopher holes.
And the gopher frog is so
called because he moves into old
gopher holes rather than digging
his own. He buns housing from
others. perhaps even turtles.
Despite his shiftless, squatter
tactics, the frog was probably
the most welcome of the lot re-
ceived yesterday. The Zoo has
never had one of his kind be-
fore. A person would think
gopher frogs would be hopping
over each other to get this free
lodging here.

Conferees Keep Ban
On RedeveIopmentof
Two Southeast Areas

House and Senate conferees
have voted to kill a provision in
the new housing bill that would
have opened the way for possible
development programs in WASH
ington's Barry Farms and Mar
shall Heights areas.
Actually. no redevelopment
schemes have been formally pro-
posed for the two Southeast
areas. But the District Commits
sionerS, the National Capital
Planning Commission and the
Redevelopment Land Agency all
have urged strongly that a ban
on redevelopment there be elm
mated.
The ban was imposed several
years ago in rider to an ap.
preparation. after citizens of the
areas fought redevelopment pro-
posals. Recently, a combine of
Washington builders expressed
interest in possible redevelop.

Elizabeths Hospital-but felt it
was fruitless to go ahead unless
the ban was removed.
The Senate had approved a
provision to kill the ban, but
House conferees yesterday in
sisted that it be retained, One
source said the feeling of con-
terence members was that the
matter should be handled by
House and Senate District Com
mittees.
In another move, the housing
confereeS designated the Dis
trlct Commissioners as the Of
fetal agency to prepare a work
able plan" of urban renewal for
rundown city areas. Such a
plan is required under the new
housing bill to qualify for Fed
eral aid.
The House had voted to make
the Redevelopment Land Agency
responsible for such a program.

The overall average increase
of the postal pay bill approved
by the committee is more than 6
per cent. This is due to the fact
that many postal workers earn
less than $4,000 a year and the
$500 raise voted them will range
in some cases from to 8 per
cent. Hourly postal workers and
fourth-class postmasters would
get a fiat S per cent increase.
Longevity Increase.
In addition. the committee APP
proved a 500 longevity increase
for postal workers when they
reach Is. II. 81 and Is years
of service. and a 500 cash uni
form allowance to postal workers
wearing uniforms.
The committees bill was a
distinct rebuff to Postmaster
General Summerfield, who I'M
doubtedly will try to have it
amended on the House floor.
Mr.. Summerfield opposed the
5000 floor for those earning less
than $4,000 a year. preferring
that they only receive a 5 per
cent raise. He also opposes
longevity increases for postal
workers as provided for in the
bill.

FTC Gives Assent,
But Not Endorsement
To Fair Trade Bill

The Federal Trade Commits
sion yesterday gave its assent,
but not its active Endorsement,
to a controversial bill to apply
the so-called fair trade law to
the District.
Under this, a wholesaler would
be permitted to set a minimum
sale price on trademarked COM
petitive goods sold in the Dis
trict. Opponents have denounced
the bill as a price-fixing and
price-raising measure. Similar
views were voiced in a recent re-
port from Deputy Attorney Cen
eral William P. Rogers.
The issue will be revived at a
public hearing at 10 am. Thurs
day before the Commerce sub
committee Of the Senate District
Committee, headed by Senator
Payne, Republican, of Maine.
ETC Chairman Edward F.
Howrey. in a letter, recalled that
the ETC historically has opposed
resale price maintenance meas
ures.
Regardless Of its correctness
or wrongness, resale price main
tenance does exist in IS of the
48 States, including nearby Vir-
GINA and Maryland" the letter
said. 1T is questionable thai
merchants located at the seat
of the Federal Government
should be subject to rules differ
ing from those prevailing in the
greater part of the Nation at
large"
He concluded that, while the
commission was not taking a
position favoring or approving
the content of the pending bill,
it did not oppose application to
the District of what Congress
had determined to be national
policy.

action on his long sought postal
salary Redistribution authority.
The White House and Mr..
Summerfield had urged q plan
under which the Postmaster
General would submit a reclassi-
flcation schedule for all of the
$50. 900 postal jobs by March Is.
Under the proposal this would
automatically have become law
within so days unless dis
approved by the House or Senate
BY a constitutional majority -
218 Of the Houses 435 votes or
80 Of the 96 Senate members.
However. the committee voted
to make it a majority Of those
voting. The committees pro-
vision would mean that only a
majority Of those voting in the
House or Senate would be
needed to kill the Postmaster
Generals plan. thereby making
IT much easier to defeat such a
proposal.
Safeguards Provided.
The committees bill also pro-
vides postal employee safeguards
In case Congress approves postal
salary Redistribution authority
for Mr.. Summerf1eld next year.
The measure provides that the
salaries Of present postal workers
could not be reduced by any re-
classification plan in the future
1t also provides that employees
may appeal classification dis
putes to the Civil Service Com
mission.
Despite Mr.. Summerfeld's
opposition, however, indications
are that the House will approve
the bill in its present form.
The House is scheduled to vote
on the bill either Tuesday or
Wednesday.
The Postmaster General also
wants a postal rate increase bill
enacted to accompany a postal
salary increase. The House Civil
Service Committee has approved
a rate increase but the House
has not acted on it. Thus far
the Senate Civil Service Commit.
tee mas refused to report a rate
increase bill.
