Mr.. Stevenson spoke to some
5000 persons in a college field

Legion hall, with perhaps an
other 200 listening to loudspeak-

of applause.
Mr.. Stevenson didn't mention
the Tennessee Senator. He con-
centrated instead on the idea
that the G. o. P. is substituting
fairy tales for fact" and exhib-
iting gross duplicity or gross

American people to take the
wraps off reality" since, he said,

Mr.. Stevenson got the biggest
hand for a crack he uses often

A two-story, 100000 addition to
the present city hall would be
constructed in the adjacent

the Council was approving the

Robert A. Willgoos. Alexandria

of Willgoos and Chase. Mr..
Willgoos, who designed a 1950-53
addition to the Fairfax Court
house and jail, was asked to
"bring back details" on his pro-
posals for the Councils consid-
Grafton.
Matter of Site
The separate police building
was a new development in the
much discussed city hall ex-
pansion. It does not mean an
addition to expansion plans but
relocation from one site to an
other Mr.. Willgoos said. The
building is logical tieup." he
added. Prisoners could be booked,
taken to court and placed in. the
lookup or jail without leaving
the building, he pointed out,
The city already has $410,000
to expand its present jail. The
Council members indicated last
night they felt 80 new cells in a
four-story structure. should be
attached to 40 of the present
! cells. which would be renovated.
The other 40 of the present cells,
Mr.. Willgoos suggested could be
converted for police department
use.
He said Police Judge James
Duncan and Maj. Russell Halves
Of the Alexandria police had
collaborated with him in prep
aration of the tentative plans
for the police building. The CITY,
owned site would cut the amount
of traffic around the City Hall
and add 10000 square feet in the
Market Square for possible fu-
ture additions, Mr.. Willgoos said.
Compromise Plan
The plan, he said, represents
q compromise between arguments
to move the entire City Hall or
to expand only in the Market
Square. Some groups have pro-
tested that the historic square
should be left intact.
