They are a close-knit family,
who have always paid their own

But Mr.. Smith became i'll, an
illness that dragged on for many
months. At first, he had to take
time off from work, which cut
down the family income. Then,
he had to stop working alto

This would leave Mrs. Smith

Policemen in Hot Water
For Hot Pursuit of Sheriff

Two Arlington policemen
wound up being charged with
making an unlawful arrest today
when they went into the city of
Falls Church to stop a car driven
by Fairfax County Sheriff John
E. Taylor.
The two policemen-Jack CAL
lahan and Charles r. Rainey-
stopped Sheriff Taylor'S car at
the intersection of Washington
and Broad streets in Falls
Church.
Sheriff Taylor. whose legal
domain includes Fairfax County
and the city of Falls Church,
said the policemen accused him
of driving too fast.
The sheriff told the officers
they had no authority to make
an arrest within the city of Falls
Church.
Arlington police were mum to-
day about just what happened
after that, but it all ended with
the two policemen getting a

WindmiIIs Don't
Win All the Tits
By JACK JONAS

A lot of people around this
town have been fitting with
windmills lately, with vary
ing success.
A fellow we know who lives
out in Annandale jousted, all
by himself, with the military,
and, all by himself, won a
point for his side.
The helicopter shuttle Serv-
ice between Fort Belvoir and
the Pentagon, he says, was
disturbing his idyllic retreat.
They were flying, the way he
tells it, below the 500 feet
safety maximum, skimming
over his house.
He endured it for a couple
of weeks, then one day
picked up the telephone.
Nov don't go battling
windmills," his wife told him
severely.
That's exactly what I'm
going to do" he replied in the
tone of righteous indigna-
ton assumed by taxpayers
everywhere.
He got the right party, after
several transfers, and COM
planned bitterly.
How do you know they're
flying too low?" the right
party asked.
Our friend began reading
of his list of helicopter serial
numbers, taken down as the
copters swooped over his
house.
The upShot of this, he says,
was that the helicopters now
fly a direct course toward his
house, veer sharply before
they get there, fly around his
house, veer back to course
again, and continue on their
way.
