Elimination of the Fairfax

recreation board to replace it is
proposed by the National Recrea-

This would merge the county's

program into one full-time
county department under a board
established by the county super
viSors.
The consolidation proposal is

Policeman Found
Hanged in Home

! An Alexandria police sergeant
today was found hanged in the
basement of his home at 203
Commonwealth avenue.
Police Chief Russell A. Halves
said the death of Sergt. William
A. Bayliss, 40, was a suicide.
Sergt. Bayliss, a member Of the
police force for 81 years, was
found by his wife shortly after
8 am. suspended from a base
Iment beam by an electric cord.
Mr.. Halves said Sergt. Bayliss
had been i'll for about 5 years.
Sergt. Bayliss had been re-
leased from Alexandria Hospital
March S. He had been taken to
the hospital about week earlier
when ne was discovered uncon-
scious at his home. Maj. Halves
said he was unconscious for
three days, but no specific dag
nosis had been made, although
he had suffered from a back
condition for some time.
Sergt. BaylisS. a policeman
since January 8, 1880, came on
the force when the city annexed
the town of Potomac from Ar
lington. He was made a cor
poral in 1943 and a sergeant
in 1852.

Of 10-hour search by two Coast
Guard vessels in the Chesapeake

The group, under Naval Cadet
Comdr. L. F. Brown. left Norfolk
about noon Saturday on the
cabin cruiser which had been
loaned to the corps by the Navy.
They planned to bring the craft
to their base at Alexandria for
use in training cruises. Also
aboard was 1t. Comdr. w. C.
Oulliber. commander of the
Jones Point alexandria Naval
Reserve Station, who was acting
as pilot.
As the small cruiser proceeded
through the Bay 1t battled rough
waters and winds up to as miles
per hour. Before the craft was
steered into the st. Mary's River
near the mouth Of the Potomac

Past Work Lauded
The National Recreation AS
ISOLATION makes no criticism oil
what has been accomplished SC
far by the authority or by the
part-time recreation department
The report on administration
states that both activities "have
developed to their present stage
through the fine efforts of many
people who have served on the
(recreation) advisory association
and on the park authority"
But the report goes on to say
that parks and recreation are
one family" and "the two func-
lions need to be brought together
in a total entity"
Responsibilities and functions
of the proposed new park and
recreation board are set forth
in detail. The report adds: 1T
