Belle Haven Citizens
Win Round in Court
Battle Over Sewers

An old fight over ownership
Of the Belle Haven sewer system
in Fairfax County has reached
a new climax-this time with
the residents of the area ap-
parently victorious.
A decision on q new point
in the complicated case which
once before went all the way
to the Supreme Court, has been
handed down in Alexandria Fed
eral Court.
Judge A. D. Barksdale has
ruled that the Government did
not actually acquire the system
under the Lanham Act IL years
ago because President Roosevelt
did not specifically include Belle
Haven in his formal approval
of a Federally- financed sewer
system for the county.
u. S. Stand Outlined
The Government has taken
the position that it did acquire
the sewer system by consent
of the Belle Haven realty firm,
and incorporated it in the Holmes
Run sewer project built in 1914.
The Government subsequently
sold the entire project to Fairfax
County, but Belle Haven resi-
dents have not paid sewer serv-
ice charges because they say
they own the sewers in their
subdivision. Court battles be-
tween Belle Haven residents and
the Government have been going
on since 1918.
It looked like the Government
had won in 1852 when the Su-
preme Court decided that the
Lanham Act could be used for
condemnation of existing facili-
ties.
Other Issues Raised
But Belle Haven residents,
raised other issues including the
one about specific approval by
the President. Ruling in their
favor, Judge Barksdale said:
SIT seems clear from the EVIL
dence before me that the project
approved by the President con-
sisted solely Of trunk sewers.
pumping stations and a treat
ment plant. am satisfied that
the project approved by the
President was never meant to.
nor did it, include. or even con-
slider inclusion of the integrated
and functioning Belle Haven
system"
The Government is expected to /
appeal again.

The Quarter-rnile stretch OF
East Beach drive between Tflden
street and Blagden avenue in
Rock Greek Park has been closed
for a complete rebuilding job.
The project is part Of the con-
tinuing program Of National
Capital Parks to improve the long
winding road that has been de-
teriorating, without major recon-
struction for years.
To Take Till June
Principal aim of the project,
according to Harry T. Thompson.
associate superintendent of Mop,
Is to install an entirely new road
bed and surface. raise the road
level a little and to provide
drainage mostly by means of low
curbing.
The section probably will re-
main closed well into June.
Mr.. Thompson. emphasized
that the roadway will be widened
only slightly. if at all, beyond it's
present 20-foot width. Nor is
curve elimination involved. The
construction necessitates the re-
moval of a few trees, but the
official said that as few as pos
sible are being taken down.
THE idea" he explained, sis
to preserve the park character
iStics of the area" And from q
strictly practical standpoint. he
said the new construction will be
cheaper in the long run than
the costly maintenance of the
brokendown drive.

Price Claims Station

His Political I elecasts
BY the Associated Press


BALTIMORE, March 10. -
Arthur B. Price, president of the
City Council and an unsuccess-
full candidate for mayor in
the recent municipal primaries,
charged today that WBAL-TV
and it's attorney censored state
ments from a telecast he made
in the campaign.
Regulations of the Federal
Communications Co m m i S sion
prohibit a radio or television sta
ton from censoring speeches by

Broadcasting stations are not
immune. however, from suits for
damages arising from utterances
of a political candidate using
their, facilities.
WBAL-TV and it's attorney.
Joseph Sherbow, declined to
comment Immediately. Judge
Sherbow said he had not had an
opportunity to read Mr.. Prices
statement.
1t was in the form of a letter
to Senator Butler, Republican, of
Maryland, who has introduced a
bill in Congress which would
grant immunity to broadcasters
for things political candidates
say or do on their microphones
and television cameras.
Mr.. Price pointed out Judge
Sherbow, former Circuit judge
in Baltimore, also has acted as
counsel for Mayor Thomas DIAL
esandro, who easily won the
Democratic nomination for re-
election over Mr.. Price and five
other candidates March l.
Mr.. Price said he submitted to

Death Toll Cut in Half
Since New Parkway
To Baltimore Opened
By the Associated Press

WATERLOO, Md, Mar. 49,
State police said today death on
the Highways between Baltimore
and Washington has been cut at
least in half since the opening
of the new Washington Balti-
more parkway last October.
Trooper Garland R. Walters,
traffic analyst at the State Police
Barracks here, declared the new
parkway is not the only reason,
however.
Another factor, he said, is con-
certed patrol work and radar
speed checking since the park
way was opened and on the old
Washington-Ba boulevard
~. S. ID both before and since.
Deaths Against IL
The most dramatic contrast in
fatal accident statistics devel-
oped in the first two months of
1855.
There were only three deaths
in that period on both the park
way and the old boulevard.
In the same two months of
1858, when nearly all traffic
moved on the old boulevard,
there were. II.
Last year, with about half the
parkway open most of the year,
there were IS deaths on both
Highways.
In the last year that all traffic
moved on the old boulevard,
there were 80.
The boulevard. one of the most
heavily Travelled 38-mile stretches
anywhere in the country, long
has been known as 'Old Bloody"
Soft Shoulders Blamed
1t. w. w. Corhin, COM
mander at Waterloo Barracks,
and Trooper Walters said the
soft shoulders and soft center
strip are the main causes of &C
cidents on the new parkway.
This is usual along new high
ways, they said, until shoulders
settle and become firm.
The trouble now is that mo-
florists fear getting stuck if they
pull on to the shoulders when
they have auto trouble. They
park on the outside traffic lane.
Other cars can't stop fast
enough, and pillow into them.
Trooper Walters warned that
motorists having car trouble
must pull off the Highway and
take the risk of getting stuck.
Too much and too little speed
are main factors in other &C
cidents on the new parkway, he
said.
There have been several &C
cidents in which cars crashed
into the rear of slow-moving
trucks, particularly in poor visi-
bility.
Maryland permits trucks on its
portion of the parkway, from
Baltimore to a point near Fort
Meade. The other part was built
by the Federal government, and
trucks are banned.

Richmond passenger who flies

Would Cut Ground Time
Senator Butler said he also
expects to suggest establishment
of a limousine terminal in the
vicinity of New York avenue and
Bladensburg road NE, near the
entrance to the Baltimore
Washington parkway. to cut
down ground travel time to
Friendship.
This, he said, will enable all
passengers to avoid Washington's
traffic congestion when they use
the Friendship Airport. 1t will
be a major asset to Maryland air
travellers living in Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties"

litical fued in which Senator
Butler once accused Walter F.

more Airport Board, pulling the

make Friendship a second air.

While Senator Butler and
other members of the Maryland
delegation were agitating for use
of Friendship as an alternate"
to National Airport, Mr.. Perkins
said he and the board were not
interested in alternate" status.
Mr.. Perkins is an appointee of
Democratic Mayor Thomas A.
D'AleSandro.
Explains Definition
He explained that the formal
regulatory definition of "alter-
nate airport" is one to which any
plane may go if bad weather
forces it to avoid its primary OBJ
jective.
MIR. Perkins said he and the
board were interested in getting
only regularly scheduled flights
for Friendship. Senator Butler is
now agitating for exactly that,
but charging that Baltimore
Democrats have not been suffi-
GENTLY enthusiastic about getting
Washington business for Friend

Commenting by statements
recently by Mr.. Perkins that
Friendship would be happy" to
have any business the airlines
care to send there, Senator But

the Baltimore City and airport
officials have suddenly reversed
themselves from an attitude of
passive obstructionism to one Of

Political Ban
On Teachers
To Be Studied
Arlington OffieioIs
Will Discuss Plan
For Participation

A question of whether Ar
iington teachers should be barred
from participating in politics is
to be studied by the Joint Per-
sonnet Committee Of the Ar
lington County Board and School
Board.
The committee includes Rob-
ert A. Peck of the County Board;
DR.. Erwin r. Draheim OF the
School Board: Art Brown, chair
man Of the County Civil Service
Commission, and school and
county administrative officials.
Teachers Endorsed
Mr.. Peck proposed the study
at yesterdays board meeting
after referring to the ordinance
banning county employee par
ticipation in politics. He also
referred to q statement by DR..
Barnard Joy of the School Board,
who said he believed teachers
should be exempt from the ban
because they are professional
people and are able to discipline
members of their group who go
beyond the bounds of propriety.
Mr.. Peck, a Republican, is a
leader of the Arlington indie
pendent Movement, which plans
to name opponents to candi-
dates of the School Board Nomi-
mating Convention in this years
School Board race. The Ex-
ecutive Committee Of AIM has
asked that school employees, in
Guiding teachers, be prevented
from participating in the con-
vention. Candidates of the con-
vention are chosen without party
labels.
The School Board referred the
aid to the Arlington Education
Association, the teachers Or
ganization.
FavOrs Use Of School
The County Board, in other
business yesterday, Endorsed a
report favoring use of Brandon
School next year for a proposed
branch of the University of Vir-
ginia. Brandon, on Shirley high
way, formerly was known as the
Dolly Madison School.
The boards action was in line
with recommendations of a COM
mittee headed by Delegate j.
Maynard Magruder. Mr.. Magru-
der submitted, along with the re-
port, a letter from Warren Cox,
vice chairman of the School
Board. Mr.. Cox said, assuming
that the present plans of the
Arlington County School Board,
including the passage of a bond
issue for school construction,
proceed without interruption, it
will be possible for the School
Board to release the Brandon
School by September, 1856"
The board also went on record
opposing the adoption of a pay
roll tax by the District of Column
bia. Similar expressions have
been voiced by the governing
bodies of Alexandria, Falls
Church and Fairfax County.
