mayor of Falls Church, Va. at an
organizational meeting of the

He was elected by 4-3 vote
after having served as acting

signed and moved to Fairfax
County, thus becoming ineligible
to continue in office.
Thomas O'Halloran was elected
vice-mayor. a post formerly held
by Mr.. Fink.
Voting for Mr.. Fink were

Benn and Mr.. Fink. Support
ing former Mayor Charles E.
kellogg were Mr.. O'Halloran,
Charles Seymour and Mr.. KEEL

The Arlington County Board
postponed action yesterday on a
for community SWIM
ming pool until a coming ordi-
nance for such pools is estab-
lished.
The board, before reaching its
decision, heard pro and con
views on the request for nearly
2ia hours. About 90 residents
attended the hearing.
The use permit, for a COM
swimming pool off Mar
cey road--in the Military road
Lorcom lane area--wasrequested

Public Hearing Set
The boards action yesterday
followed the recommendation OF
the Zoning and Land Use Com
mittee that a decision be de-
ferred until the coming ordi-
nance is amended to provide
community pool standards. A
public hearing on the matter has
been set for October Is.
A petition carrying signatures
of IL out of Is homeowners of
the Beechwood circle Beechwood
place area was presented to the
board in opposition to the pool.
Opponents contended tn a
construction of the pool at the
proposed location would result in
depreciation of property values
and annoyance to residents.
They cited traffic, trash and
noise in their objections.
Julian Series, spokesman for
the Donaldson Run Recreation
Association, Inc, said plans for
the pool are in line with regula-
tons in the proposed ordinance.
