The new Steinway Campbell plan was
motivated by the many case histories
which so definitely prove the power Of
a fine piano TO foster even a slight inter-
est in creating music
When such an interest is encouraged no

tribution to the development Of a WE'LL

nate indeed is the young person whose
home is blessed with a Steinway to open
the door upon the magical world Of

Inview Of this, but also taking into con-

Board
Politics Seen

The Alexandria City Council
last night refused to get involved
in an argument in Arlington
County over the appointment OF
to Northern Virginia
College Control Board.
The Council was asked to per-
init Arlington to name a third
member to the Control Board
which would be empowered to
acquire a site for a college. Each
of the four Northern Virginia
jurisdictions has two represent
ativeS on the board.
The council had two COM
munications from Arlington
County. One said that County
Board member David L. Krup-
saw had been nominated to the
college board. and another later
one saying that State Delegate
Harrison Mann had been substi-
tuted for Mr.. Krupsaw. The
switch has led another County
Board member. Ralph Kaul, to
proclaim a boycott of closed
board meetings because he said
board members violated their
agreements. reached at a closed
session. to appoint Mr.. Krupsaw.
There appears to be politi-
cal situation in another jurisdic-
ton which we shouldn't get in
volved with" said Councilman
John TIGER.
Councilman S. Clinton Knight
said it looked as If the Arling-
ton board made a mistake" and
wants to add another member
to make everybody happy.

Housing Health
|Effo'rItsPraised
In Alexandra

City departments are doing all
they can to remove or improve
substandard housing in Alexan-
dria, the City Manager said last
night.
Manager E. G. Heatwole re-
ported to City Council in re-
Spouse to a request by a recent
Corporation Court grand jury
that city administrative action
be taken ito the end that prop
critics that are hazardous to
community living be brought up
to a satisfactory condition so
that the health and welfare of
the citizens of Alexandria will be
safeguarded."
Mr.. Heatwole said the city is
limited in its authority to order
buildings torn down or improved.
He said a housing and hygiene
code now under study by the
council will greatly strengthen
the city's hand.
Cites 45-Day Action
| However. he said that during
a 45-day period for which sta
tistics were available, four sub
standard buildings were demol-
ished through action Of the city
health and plumbing depart
ments. Eight others were re-
habilitated. Mr.. Heatwole noted
that during the same period four
others were demolished through
action of special grand juries
called at the request of citizens
to proclaim the properties COM
mon nuiSanceS."
During the 45-day period, %
other houses were in the process
of being demolished or having
major structural repairs made
under orders of the city depart
ments. Another IA had work
done on such things as plumb
ing. electrical wiring. rat-proof-
ing and plastering.
In some cases houses were
removed voluntarily by the own
ers rather than pay for cost of
improvements ordered by the
city. Denis Cahill. planning di-
rector. said building cannot be
condemned unless SO per cent of
it is beyond repair.
Limitations Of Law
Many city departments are
involved and a great deal has
been accomplished under the
limitations Of existing laws" Mr..
Heatwole said.
On another matter the coun-
Gil authorized the preparation of
an ordinance to allow the sale
of property received by the Po-I
lice Department and not claimed
within a specified period. One
lot Of property the Police De-
partment specially would like to
get rid of is a truckload Of
wearing apparel and other items

from a shoplifter's home.

Northern Virginia consumer,
pay more for milk than con.
sumers in the District, said the
producers and distributors fol
milk sold in the District "are re.
ceiving a fair return on their in

Mr.. Winston asked that II the
subcommittee does not recon-
mend abandonment of the re-
tail price fixing powers of the
milk commission, I would hope
that it would consider seriously
the need for additional con-
sumner representation in the
functioning of the commission.
This plea was echoed by Mrs
Kathryn Stone, also an Airing

mission membership should be
changed to include a housewife
as the consumer representative
Harmon Elder, an executive
of Safeway Stores and the Lu-
cerne Milk Co., a division OF
Safeway. charged the milk COM
mission has created an absurd
situation" by refusing to with
draw its retail price control
power from the Northern Vir-
ginia area as it was requested
to do two years ago.
T. T. Curtis of Orange, Va,
speaking in behalf of the Mary
land and Virginia Milk PRODUCE
ers Association. said that in spite
of controls by the Milk Com
mission. dairy farm income is
declining.
1.-THE commission must be
maintained so that regula-

especially those related to the
control of milk prices and of
practices associated with the

will be regular and reliable" he
said.

Mr.. Smith declared there were

Mr.. johnson talked on freight
rates. He referred to the hump"
between Montana and North Da-
kota caused by the difference in
freight rates, and said that many
managers go to the border to
get their freight on that account.
This freight discrepancy has led
TO the organization of the Mon
tana Citizens Freight Rate As
ISOLATION.
A good reduction in rates has
already been secured through
the work of this association, on
some classes of freight as much
as $50. but the ultimate aim of
the association is uniformity of
rates with that of other states.
In conclusion, Mr.. Johnson said,
plans are under way for a
freight audit service. The fee for
this service will probably be 500
of what is recovered for nom
members, while for members it
nay be as little as 35%."
