Proposed Rise
In Water Rates
Hit by Mayor

Alexandria Mayor Leroy
Bendheim today called for a
determined fight against pro-
posed water rate increases for
city residents, and renewed his
plea for municipal purchase of
the Alexandria Water Co.
An application was filed by
the water company yesterday
asking for rate increases which
would boost city water bills an
average of 43 per cent, and re-
suit in a slight increase for
Fairfax County customers.
A readjustment Of rates was
indicated by the utility two
weeks ago when the Alexandria
Water Co. absorbed the
Virginia Water Co. by merger.
Against Penalizing Alexandria
THE City Council ought to
fight this rate case to the full
est" declared Mayor Bend
helm. He said he expected the
water situation would come UP
at a regular meeting Of the
City Council tonight.
Alexandria consumers
should not be penalized because
the water companies have seen
lit to merge, and now want us
to pay the cost of extending
water mains in Fairfax Coun-
ty." the Mayor declared.
The Alexandria Water Co.
originally was established to
serve the city of Alexandria. It
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
American Waterworks Co. of
Philadelphia. The Virginia
Water Co.. also a subsidiary of
American Waterworks, was set
up independent of Alexandria
initially so city residents would
not be burdened with the cost
OF extending service to scat
tered subdivisions in Fairfax
County.
In announcing the rate ap-
plication yesterday. water COM
pany ofiicials said they believed
1t was reasonable to adopt uni
form rates. rules and regula-
lions for the entire service area
OF the merged firms, since its
supply and distribution systems
are completely integrated and
there are no significant operat-
ing differences within the ter
ritory."
Favors Buying Company
Mayor Bendheim said that
In addition to fighting the rate
increase, the city again should
think about acquiring the util-
ity.
The Mayor proposed city
purchase-or condemnation
OF the Alexandria Water Co.
three years ago.
Nothing in the meantime
has changed my mind" he
added. They have merged to
try to make it more difficult for
us to take over, but 1 still be-
lieve the city council should
take steps to do so, even if we
have to acquire that portion
serving Fairfax County resi-
dents"
Mayor Bendheim said a sur
vey three years ago indicated
the Alexandria Water Co. could
have been obtained at that time
for $40 million.
1T would have been the best
investment the city ever made. A."
he declared. "Of course. it
would cost more now, but l
still think it is the best thing
to do
He said a majority of the
council was unwilling to 60
along with acquisition of the
utility three years ago.

County Court Judge John A.
Rothrock said, ct looks like it
was the other way around"
Judge Rothrock also dis
missed a resisting arrest charge
against the carpenter but fined
him $25 for refusing to leave
an accident scene at the direc-
ton of a policeman.
The decisions followed an
hour and a half of testimony
by three defense witnesses, in
GLIDING Mr.. Sours, concerning
the arrest made by Police Pvt.
Donald Ufiinger at an accident
scene May IS.
Accused Of Twisting Arm
Pvt. Ufinger was accused in
the testimony of brandishing a
blackjack, showing the elderly
carpenter until he fell over a
tree stump, jumping on the
fallen man and later twisting
his arm in an arm-lock and
making a threat Ito break it
off,"
Mr.. Sours was clearing a
wooded lot at Westmoreland
street and Haycock road when
a car smashed into q tree on
the lot. Mr.. Sours was the

in which two people were
trapped. He told the victims

A defense witness, M. A.
Poole, Mclean rescue squad
captain, said more than rs per-
sons were gathered around the
wreckage when Pvt. Uffinger
arrived. jumped OF his motor
cycle and began shouting for
everyone to move back.
Most Of the people moved
back when I told them" Pvt.
Uff1nger testified. "Mr. Sours
didn't. He was standing be-
tween the rescue truck and the
car"
The policeman said Mr.. Sours
cursed him when he told him
to move away.
Stumbled on Stump
Mr.. Poole said at this point
the policeman pulled out his
blackjackand while brandish-
ing it showed Mr.. Sours back

uation and taverns in his own
county near the Mason-Dixon
line, which stay open on Sum-
day and appeal to thirsty Penn
sylvanians who want to circum-
vent their States blue laws.
The council also heard Roger
Laynor. head of the Alcoholic
Beverage Division of the Con-
troller's Office, charge that one
Virginia State liquor store
operator at Chincoteague had
refused to cooperate with
Maryland officials who were
tracking down bootleg opera
tors bringing in whisky from
Virginia.
He also said liquor stores in
Delaware and Virginia cater to
Marylanders who want to by
pass State and Federal laws.
The group heard Edward M.
Akers, chief Of the Alcoholic
Beverage Divisions investiga-
ton work. report on a personal
survey Of the Potomac situation
made last week.
Patronage From Virginia
He said six casinos now are
in operation just of the Vir-
ginia shore and get most of
their business from Virginia.
Virginia laws prohibit the sale
Of liquor by the drink and
gambling.
He said the six range from
small seasonal four-man opera
lions to big casinos like Little
Reno. which at times turn
away 500 customers a night.
Several members of the
council indicated yesterday
they could see no difference
between the off-shore boats
and the piers now in operation
at places like Colonial Beach.
And they pointed out that
some of them have been in
operation for UP to 10 years.
Senator Joseph Bertorelli,
Democrat Of Baltimore City,
commenting on this situation.
said the Governor has not
been at home long enough to
find out about them"
Maurice Cardin. Democrat of
Baltimore City, chairman of a
special committee on inter-
governmental CO operation,
said Virginians consider the
ship operation as an unfriendly
act in view of their protest,
since 1t "fiouts" Virginia laws.
FavOrs Uniformity
He said, however. that II the
ship operation was to be out
lawed. other casinos also should
be put out Of business.
The council also heard John
p. Tawes, chairman Of the
Tidewater Fisheries Commits
sion, blast Virginia authorities
for failue to cooperate in con-
trolling fishing. Clustering and
grabbing in the Potomac and
Bay area.
He said the States action in
revoking the 1875 compact with
Virginia on operations in the
Potomac is working like a
charm" He said Virginia fish,
ermen have been getting their
licenses. and all have indicated
a willingness to abide Mary
lands law.
Maryland owns the Potomac
River and. until last June /,
had permitted Virginia to Ii
cense and control fishing and
Clustering operations in the
river.

Coles Point in st. Mary's
County last night.
Then they moved on to CO.
lonial Beach where the biggest
of the casinos, Little Reno,
seats $500 persons in its cock
tail lounge and offers 395 slot
machines for their play.
The present legislative in
terest stems from a Virginia
protest from Gov. Stanley over
the proposed operation Of a
ship as dining and dancing
business while at anchor of
Freestone Point. Va.
Three-Day Cruise
The old excursion boat, to be
operated by a syndicate headed
by Arlington CVa.) Attorney
Carl j. Hill. is slated to open
for business later this week.
So far, the syndicate has not
applied for a gambling license.
The council is on a three day
cruise of Chesapeake Bay and
the Potomac River that ends
tonight.
The conferences aboard ship
are supposed to resolve Mary
lands position on some of the
Virginia. Maryland dispute s
over various operations in the
Potomac. The council hopes to
define its position before a Joint
State conference with legis-
lators and Governors of the two
States next month.
The council met yesterday
with oficialS of the Alcoholic
Beverage Division of the Con-
troller's once. the Tidewater
Fisheries Commission and the
Marine Biological Laboratory
at Solomon's Island.
Goldstein Optimistic
The lawmakers seemed. to
feel they are in q good bar
gaining position for the COM
ing Joint conference.
Virginia always wants to re-
ceive but never wants to give, ="
Maryland Senate President
Louis L. Goldstein said. He
added that now that the neigh
boring State really wants some
thing. it may be willing to talk
about a few other problems.
The legislators were critical
Of Gov. McKeldin because he
chided them for the way they
handled his complaint about
the casino situation.
Gov. McKeldin. after seeking
to get Charles County not TO
approve a liquor license for the
ship. asked the Legislative
Council to study q way of
handling the situation in the
Potomac. When he learned
that the council was Jumping
all the problems together, he
scored 1t as a "three-ring APP
proach."
on
Delegate Jerome Robinson,
Democrat Of Baltimore City,
accused the Governor Of not
having faith in the home rule
he often fought for and SUBJ
shutting a State authority for
the present local option in the
whisky and gambling situation.
The Governor had suggested
that a State authority over all
commercial enterprises in the
Potomac might be the answer
to the casino problem.
