Alexandra School Boord
Chairman Loses Post

The Alexandra City Council
rejected a bid by the current
school board chairman for reap
pointment when 1t named two
members to the board last night.
The new members are Thomas
b. Mechling, 38-year-old engi-
neering company employee and
real estate man. and H. G. Noel
Ter. 40, an employe Of the Fed
eral Bureau Of Prisons.
The council also turned down
a plea to name a colored citizen
to the board. William Wilson,
one of two Negroes serving on
the City Democratic Committee,
said one-seventh of the city's
population is Negro and "in all
fairness we should be repre-
sented." Mrs. Edith Turner. a
former Virginia school teacher,
was nominated by the Negro
Parent-Teacher groups.
Four-to- Three Margin
Mr.. Mechling won in a secret
ballot by a four-to-three vote
over J. S. Everly, school board
member for nine years and
chairman since 1948. He will
represent the city's southern
school district.
Mr.. Moeller will replace Ed
ward d. Reed, who did not seek
reappointment. Mr.. Moeller won
the appointment on a four-to-
three vote over William p.
Woolls, jr He is from the. city's
northern district.
In not reappointing Mr.. EVERY
the council broke a custom of
recent years of selecting in
cumbents whenever they sought
reelection. Mr.. Everly, a flu
neral director and one of the
founders of Circle Terrace Hos
pital, was Endorsed by the Par
ent-Teacher Association Council.
Mr.. Mechling. who lives at PIT
South Royal street, was backed
by the Old Town Civic Associa-
ton, the Robert E. Lee School
PTA and Representative Joel T..
Broyhill. Republican Of Virginia.
The new member is vice presi-
dent Of Mechling, Inc, a real
estate firm, and is a contract
representative for the Convey En-
glneering Co. of Alexandria. He
was an unsuccessful Democratic
candidate. for City Council in
1852. He is married and has four
children.
Turnover Sought
A council spokesman said Mr..
Everly was not reappointed be-
cause a majority of the new
council which took Office July /
felt there should be a greater
turnover in school board mem
berS.
Mr.. Moeller, who was active
against the controversial Gray
Plan for substituting private edu-
cation, was backed by the PTA
Council and several individual
PTAs. Mr.. VOLS, son Of the
senior judge Of the Corporation
Court. had the Endorsement of

Beverley and 264 persons who

tions run by the Federal Govern
ment He is a past president OF

Senators Reject
Site
For JET Field

!
A $4 million authorization for
Ia Naval Academy jet airfield in
Anne Arundel County. Md. has
been removed from the military
construction bill by the Senate
Armed Services Committee.
The Navy has been seeking the
money to start acquiring the land
for the proposed SIT million air.
field, which it planned to use
for matchmaking midshipmen
in modern military aircraft.
A committee aide said the SEN
ate groups negative action prob
ably killed the airfield project
for this session Of Congress.
The project had been opposed
by both Maryland Senators. par
Iticularly Senator Beall, who had
said he was not convinced that
the Naval Academy needed an
airport at all, let alone at David
sonville.
Site Opposed
1t had been reported that
Naval Academy officials wanted
Ito locate the airfield on some
$500 acres in the Davidsonville
section of Anne Arundel County.
This site was vigorously opposed
by residents of that tobacco
farming area. There also was a
later report that naval officials
were considering a site in the
HARDWOOD section of Anne Arun-
del County, and similar protests
were heard there.
The Senate committee said
Yesterday that it was complete
Ily sympathetic" with what the
Navy intended to do with the
airfield, but added:
Reasons Given
However, it does not recon-
mend approval of the request
lat this time. not only because
the location chosen is within the
expanding commercial air traf-
lf1c pattern between Washington,
Baltimore and New York, but
lalso because it>believes that any
establishment of a new facility
of hits type near the Capital
should be considered in the light
of the heavy concentration of
defense facilities in the WASH
ington area, the future use of
the naval flight facility at Ana
costa and the requirement to
provide for proficiency flight
training of naval aviatorS as
signed to staff positions at the
seat of government"
The committee, however,
authorized the Secretary of the
Navy to obtain independent en-
lgineering studies of other FEAST
BILE sites. 1t asked that this
study also include future plans
for the use of the Anacostis
Naval Air Station, and more in
formation on what aircraft in
doctrination midshipmen have
received in the past.

BY GENE GOODWIN

Mayor D'Alesandro Of Balti-
more declared last night that
some Of the delegates who will
represent Maryland at the Dem.
ocratic National Convention al
Chicago fought to be on their
way to California.
The Republican National Con-
vention is being held this year
in San Francisco.
The Maryland delegates to the
Democratic convention opening
August Is, we're chosen last
month by the party's State con-
vention. which was controlled
by an anti-D 'Alesandro group
headed by George P. Mahoney,
Michael J. Birmingham and
j. Willard Tawes.
Consequently, many of the
Democratic leaders who have
traditionally been national con-
vention delegates-such as for
mer Gov. w. Preston Lane, jr.
and former Solicitor General
Philip B. Perlman-were by
passed for lesser known Demo-
Gratis who had supported Mr.
Mahoney's unsuccessful bid for
the senatorial nomination against
Willard E. Tydings last May Z.
Speculation on Names
Mayor D'Alesandro did not
specify which delegates he
thought ought to be going ia
the Republican rather than the
Democratic convention, but most
of his Montgomery County
listeners speculated that at least
two names on his mind were
r. Walter Graham and Irving
Kovens.
! Mr.. Graham contributed money
to President Eisenhower's cam
paign in 1852. Mr.. Kovens, al
though a Democrat, is chairman
OF the Baltimore City Liquor
Board by appointment of Re-
publican Governor McKeldin,
whom he has supported in the
past. Mr.. Graham and Mr..
Kovens were selected to be con-
vention delegates from the Sew
enth Congressional District in
Baltimore City.
The mayor, who was ousted
as Democratic National Commit
teeman by the same State con-
ventlon. also is known to be
Smarting under a boast re-
portedly being made by M.
William Addison to the effect
that he controls at least IL of
the SO delegates. Mr.. Addison is
Gov. McKeldin's law partner
and respected adviser.
Question Raises Point
Mayor D'Alesandro made his
attack on the delegation before
about 100 persons in the Lyn-
brook Recreation Center in Be-
thesda at a meeting sponsored
by the Western Suburban and
Kensington- Wheaton Democrat
ic Clubs. The mayor was answer
ing a question as to what posi-
ton he thought the delegates
would take on a civil rights
plank in the Democratic plat
form.
"Whn can say what the nreseraf
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-06-27

A spirit OF good will prevailed
from the outset, when it was de-
cided to let everyone who wanted
to attend the State convention
serve as a delegate. All "a per-
sons who filed as candidates fol
the State convention were elected
delegates, with instructions tc
cast the county's 70 votes as a
unit.
The only disagreement-and Il
was mild-occurred over the
Icounty's policy on proxies. One
faction wanted the number Of
proxies unlimited, but the ma
ljority voted to restrict each dele
gate attending to one proxy vote
United Action Urged
Even the three Democratic
Congressional candidates-Mor
ten Boyer. Warren Quenstedt
land Julius Brenner-were caught
up in the jolly atmosphere. They
made brief. friendly chats. and
wound up by urging united party
support behind whoever the VIC
tor may be in the Congressional
primary on July 10.
II never thought I'd live to see
a Democratic convention like this
again in Fairfax County," NUT
tered one veteran politician who
has witnessed a widening con-
SENTATIVE liberal split in the
party in recent years.
But the welcome mat was out
for all shades of Democrats at
the convention. The balance OF
power obviously was on the lib
eral side. but there was a suffi-
lcient number of old-line party
faithful in attendance to give all
factions representation. In the
Hist Of "a delegates to the State
convention are representatives OF
liberal and conservative senti-
lment.
Fletcher Wellemeyer, Demo-
cratic committee chairman, was
elected chairman of the conven-
ton.
Webb Is KeynOter
The resolution instructing del
egateS to support the candidacy
of Adlai Stevenson for President
and John S. Battle for Vice
President was offered by Mrs
Anne Wilkins. who is chairman
of a 10th district committee
for Stevenson. Mrs. Wilkins is
a member Of the Board Of
County Supervisors.
John C. Webb, member of the
House of Delegates for Fairfax
County. gave the keynote adj
dress. Gliding those who say the
Democratic Party is "hopelessly
divided.

ocratic Party has been winning
more and more elections.

Boy,4,Drowns
In Motel Pool

A 4-year-old boy drowned
yesterday in the Skylark Motel
swimming pool on Shirley high
way, minutes before a lifeguard
was due to come on duty.
He was Jeffrey Paul Jukich,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony E.
Jukich of Chicago.
The family had stopped at
the motel in Fairfax County
about 1880 pm, and the parents
were still in their cabin when
the boy, in his bathing suit,
slipped away to the pool.
1t was estimated he got into
the pool around 1850 pm. A
lifeguard was to come on duty
at 2 pm.
The pool was crowded with
swimmers, but no one noticed
the little boy until his body was
seen floating on the surface by
Robert E. Shilling, 8, Of Troy,
Ohio. Robert ran for his father,
DR.. H. E. Shilling, who started
administering artificial reSpira-
ton. He was relieved by men,
bers Of the Franconia Rescue
Squad. who worked for more
than an hour.
Jeffrey was pronounced dead
shortly after 3 pm. by Or
Joseph L. Atchison Of SPRING
field. DR.. Claude Cooper, Fairfax
County medical examiner, issued
a certificate Of accidental drown
ing.
The water where jeffrey was
found was three feet deep. The
same pool is nine feet deep at
one point. Less than is feet
away is a small, shallow wadine
pool for youngsters Of Jeffreys
age.
A committee Of Fairfax County
officials has been working on a
new ordinance TO regulate the
operation Of swimming pools. Ac-
Ncording TO Or. Harold Kennedy
county health officer, there are
approximately SO pools in TIT
county, with no laws to contro
their operation. The regulation:
would require the presence OF .
life guard when pools are in use
according TO county officials.

little mayor declared.
Some of them ought to be
on their way to California. And
half of them wouldn't know
what civil rights are.
II think the Democrats of
Maryland should watch very
closely to see how these dele
gates vote on roll calls in Chi
cago and then they'll know If
they want those kind Of people
for their State leaders"
Mayor D'Alesandro is one Of
the convention delegates, al
though the Mahoneyites made
him a delegate from the second
congressional district, which is
outside Of Baltimore City
Asked by one listener how he
explains what happened at the
State convention, Mr.. D'Alesan-
dro, who played a major part in
getting Mr.. Tydings to run
against MIR. Mahoney, replied
with shrug:
Il entered a horse in the race
and / was his jockey He won
the race, but when the price
went up. they disqualified the
jockey"
Poor Trading Hit
Mr.. D'Alesandro also blasted
some of the Democratic members
of the Maryland Legislature,
who trade their birthright to
the Republican Governor for a
mere pittance to take back to
their districts"
Despite the fact that five Of
the six State Senators from his
city and "a Of the SO members
Ief the House of Delegates are
Democrats. he added, G3v Nc
Keldin always gets his program
through"
Predicting a Democratic VIC
tory in Maryland and the Ma
ton this fall, Mr.. D'AleSandro
said the Free State hungers for
la young, liberal, progressive
Governor-one who will not toll
crate backdoor politics"
The mayor classified himself as
IA liberal" and said st was
primarily for that reason that
urged Millard Tydings to try a
Icomback against the represen-
sible and reactionary forces
which unSeated him in 1850"
Mr.. Tydings was ousted from
the Senate by Republican SEN
ator John Marshall Butler. They
viii be rematched in November.
The mayor also said that the
urban areas were under-repre-
sented in the Maryland Legisla-
ture. He urged his listeners to
be ready to press for a Consti-
Itutional convention the next
time the opportunity arises in
the hopes that it will give "the
more populous areas the repre-
sentation to which they are en-
titled"

Issuance of a Federal market
order for the Washington area
would regulate producer prices
of all milk coming into the city,
regardless of its origin. 1t would
not regulate retail prices, how
ever.
The producer group has APP
piled for the Federal order, and
has proposed a price schedule
comparable to the producer
prices now prevailing on the Vir-
ginia Milk Commission schedule
for Northern Virginia.
Mr.. Hooper said it would be
the committees job to study all
economic factors in the Wash
ington area to determine "a fail
and equitable formula for pric-
ing milk on the farm level"
Mr.. Hooper said the commit
tee would report its recon-
mendations directly to the Agri-
culture Department.
Chairman of the new commit
tee is DR.. Edwin Griswolc

1t is a Nationwide thing, .
said Mr.. Webb.
| He predicted the party would
continue to grow and win more
ELECTIONS because of its ability
to change with the times. The
weakness Of the Republican
Party, he said, was demon
strated by the fact that it has
only one candidate considered
worthy to run for President
while the Democratic Party has
"a score or more" In the 10tt
Congressional District, MIR. Webk
said. the Republicans can fine
only one candidate, while the
Democrats can come UP with
many,

The convention instructed it:
delegation to seek a change ir
the party plan. requiring the
State party chairman to appoint
representatives to the State ex-
ecutive committee who are rec.
commended by the party COM
mittees in each district. Al
