such cases the owner had fire.

writing the ticket. He was pro-

when he saw it was getting him
no place, his voice took on an
edge of sarcasm as he inquired
about what would happen to the
"other cars along here"
That's the way it is most of
the time" Pvt. Siebert said
later. when the violator thinks
he can talk you out of it he's
very congenial. But as soon as
he sees he's going to get the
ticket he becomes abusive and
quarrelsome."

To Attend Luncheon

By The Associafed Press

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 81
Stephen A. Mitchell, chairman
of the Democratic National Com
mittee, will make a long-delayed
visit to Maryland today when he
attends a luncheon along with
about 100 Democratic leaders of
the State.
Mr.. Mitchell was invited to the
State confab by DR.. H. c. Byrd,
the party's candidate for Gov
ernor In the November 2 election.
Last July, Mr.. Mitchell and
other national party figures ar
ranged to come to Baltimore to
talk over campaign strategy and
perhaps bring an end to intra-
family fight between DR.. Byrd
and George Mahoney.
Battle Was In Progress.
The two gubernatorial aspir-
ants were in the midst of their
post-primary battle at the time,
with recounts and court cases
popping at every turn.
State leaders were upset at
the proposed interference by
outsiders" so Mr.. Mitchell and
his colleagues stayed out of
Maryland. Now State and ma
tional Democratic leaders think
a visit from Mr.. Mitchell may
help matters.
On the relatively quiet polit-
ical scene yesterday, John F.
McNulty of Anne Arundel Coun-
ty was named to direct the vet
erans' campaign for DR.. Byrd,
who has pledged himself to
sign any veterans bonus bill
approved by the Legislature.

Mr.. McNulty, a member of
the House of Delegates who was
defeated in the primary, is a

Mr.. Harrington noted DR..
Byrd's promise. if elected, to sign
any bonus legislation. Even after
being signed by the Governor, he
said. any legislation would have
to be approved at a special elec-
ton.
DR.. Byrd has criticized Gov.

ponent, for vetoing a similar bill
passed during the last Legis-

Summer Shortage on
Poor Management

Alexandria Vice Mayor Leroy
Bendheim today called for mu-
nicipal ownership of the private
ly-operated Alexandria Water
Co., blaming the water shortage
this past summer on the firms
neglect and lack Of planning"
Alexandria Water Co., SUBJ
sidiary of American Waterworks,
is the largest and one of the old
est privately operated water
companies in this area. It serves
all of Alexandria and a subsid-
iary, know as the Virginia Water
Co.. serves a large part of Fair
fax County.
Higher water bills which Mr..
Bendheim said customers re-
ceived this month added insult
to injury" after the summer
water, ban, the vice mayor de-
clared. He called the bills "out-
rageous" and called on the water
company Ito fully and publicly
explain why bills should increase
when there has been a restrictive
ban on the use of water"
Use of Water Restricted.
Customers of Alexandria and
Virginia water companies were
restricted from using water for
any non-essential purposes for
more than a month this summer
while work progressed on a new
pipeline from the Occoquan, Va,
reservoir. There was plenty of
water in the reservoir, but the
firm did not have an adequate
distribution system to supply all
its customers during the dry
spell.
Mr.. Bendheim said he had re-
ceived numerous calls from irate
citizens demanding that some
thing be done about the high
water bills.
According to Mr.. Bendheim,
the water company delayed in
stallation of the new pipeline so
long that the inevitable had to
occur" He declared that when
private utility interests neglect
the obligation they owe the pub
lie, it becomes necessary for the
representatives of the people to
do something about it.
THAT time, in my opinion, has
arrived" he said.
The vice mayor said the city
council should appoint a COM
mittee Immediately to study the
entire situation in conjunction
with the new sanitation author
ity and advisory tax commission,
ito the end that if amicable ne
gotiations cannot be- concluded
to purchase this utility, it can
be condemned and through
proper legal proceedings, taken
over by the municipality"
Sees Substantial Profit.
He said he would propose
appointment of such a CON-
mittee at the first opportunity.
Mr.. Bendheim predicted that
the water company, municipal
ly-owned, could be operated at
a substantial profit.
Again referring to the water
ban this summer and what
caused it, Mr.. Bendheim de-
clared:
"For more than two years
this water company knew, or
by the exercise of reasonable
intelligence should have known,
that in the event of a drought
it had insufficient pipelines to
pump its water from the source
of supply to the city reservoir.
1t knew, or should have known,
that the more it extended it's
facilities to service Springfield
and certain other sections of
Fairfax County. without ade-
quate lines, the more the peo-
pie of Alexandria, to whom it
owed it's first obligation, would
suffer-"
