to pay their rent on the basis
of the inspectors report. Legal
proceedings were begun, but
when the case finally reached
the courts attention several
weeks ago, most of the viola
tons had been quietly cor
rected.
Why So Long?
Why, having discovered the
violations in July, did it take
so long to get any action?
Court officials say the kind
of legal procedure the couple
had to pursue is typical and
may provide part of the an
swer:
/. A complainant must first
notify the District Department
of Licenses and Inspections of
any violations. The depart
ment sends its inspectors to in
vestigate.
2. If violations are found
the department then ap-
proacheS the corporation coun-
sci for an arrest warrant.
8. The Corporation Counsel
in turn notified the defendant
to appear in his Office for a
hearing.
4. AS a result of the hearing
the defendant is usually given
more time to take care of the
violations.
S. If the violations, at the
end of the time extension, still
have not been fixed. the case
goes to court.
officials say the average
housing violation can be recti-
fled in 30 days or less. The
snag. they say, has been in the
legal process which allows a
landlord to delay fixing viola
tions until it appears he will
have to face a judge.
Court Attitude
The attitude of the court, ac-
cording to critics. has been to
achieve peaceful compliance"
with the law rather than quick
and efficient justice for hous-
ing code violators.
This approach is not without
merit, except for the fact that
it is those few landlords. who
have no intention of comply
ing until the last possible
moment, who have most Sc
riously hampered the legal
process in housing violations.
Of the more than 1890
housing violation cases filed
with the Corporation Coun-
sells Office in 1889, only 100
reached the courtroom. The
bulk of the violations-of &C.
cupancy, coming. construction,
plumbing and electrical regu-
lations-were settled at hear
ings before the Corporation
Counsel.

Falls Church
Kills Study Of
Annexation

Falls Church has suspended
a study of the feasibility Of
annexing six square miles Of
Fairfax County.
Opposition from three city
councilmen to atton
prompted Mayor C. M. HALEY
to order a halt to the study
which consultants began three
weeks ago.
The Mayor said it would be
futile to try expansion unless
at least six of the seven coun-
cilmen Endorsed the plan.
There's not much point in
spending $500 to 5000 a day
studying annexation unless the
cornell supports it," he said.
The council had conferred
behind closed doors during the
last two weeks with the con-
sultants and school board re-
garding acquisition of county
territory which would triple
Falls Church's size and vir-
tually quadruple its population.
Some councilmen repeatedly
believe that annexation costs.

have told the city that an an

advisable until it is strongly
supported by the council.

Over Colby
Col. Smith Bures
Move to Support
Democrat Instead
BY DAN POOLE
Star stan Writer


Republican Committee has re-
vealed publicly he will support
a Democrat instead of the
q. o. P. nominee in the
November 3 General Assembly
election.
Col. j. r. Smith, whose wife
also is a member Of the City
Republican Committee, said an
unofficial move is afoot in the
G. o. P. ranks to split the
ticket and support the Demo-
cratic int u m b e n t.. Delegate
James M. Thomson, a massive
resistance segregationist, rather
than r epublican candidate,
Robert T. F. Colby.
I'm our rush to put up a full
slate" he observed, I'VE forgot
political realism and put up
two candidates. We should have
put up only one candidate
against Armistead Boothe fol-
State Senate"
Prefers Thomson
Col. Smith disclosed tie
G. o. P. maneuver at a meeting
Friday of the Defenders Of
State Sovereignty and Individ-
ual Liberties, a segregationist
group in Arlington.
Jim Thomson is really on
our side, and I want you to
know that as Republicans we
are on his side" Col. Smith
told the Defenders.
Alexandria's Republicans, he
continued, "are fighting hard
for our candidate for State
Senate, Donald Baldwin. But
Jim Thomson is the man we
want for House of Delegates,
not because he's a Democrat
but because of what he stands
for"
He commended that the po-
litical philosophy of Mr.. Colby
is too much like that of Demo-
cratic Senator Boothe. Senator
Boothe supported Gov. Al
mond's freedom of choice pro-
gram on school desegregation
while Mr.. Thomas stood for
massive resistance.
The chairman of Alexan-
dria's City Republican Com
mittee, John Kilcullen, was out
of town on a business trip and
was unavailable for comment
on Col. Smiths statements.
Denies Any IDEALS" Made
Mr.. Baldwin said the plar
revealed by Col. Smith was I'M
official and that no deals hac
been made with any Democrats
'fOf course" he said, II. like
any other candidate. would
welcome any support / car
get"
Col. Smith said the situation
had caused the Republicans tt
form a separate Citizens Com.
mittee for Don Baldwin to con.
duct his campaign against Sen.
ator Boothe. There is no co.
ordinating campaign manager
for both Republican candi-
dates.
AS a result, the Independent
Committee for Bob Colby was
formed to conduct his race
against Delegate Thomson
That group, according to Mr.
Colby, is composed mostly o.
Independents instead of Re-
publicans.

Mclaughlin Backs
Anti-Loitering Law
Believes Act
Would Curb
Juvenile Crime
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star stan Writer

A District anti-loitering law,
aimed at curbing juvenile de-
linquency, yesterday received
the support of Commissioner
Robert E. Mclaughlin.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said he IA
vors trying out some type" Of
anti-loitering regulation in
Washington, a move that has
been urged by police officials
and the Commissioners Youth
Council.
Yesterday, Mr.. Mclaughlin,
the Commissioner who super
vises public safety matters, said
he will ask the Corporation
Counsel's Office how such a
regulation can be adopted.
If this move would require
only an amendment to the
police regulations, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said. he will propose
this action to the Board Of
Commissioners.
Approval Seen Certain
With the recommendation
coming from the Police Depart
ment's Commissioner, approval
is virtually certain.
Mr.. Mclaughlin declined to
say whether he would attempt
to have legislation introduced
if it is needed to get the law
on the books.
He indicated, however, that
it might be a tough job to get
the legislation through for
something which could be
judged an experimental move.
Speaking yesterday on the
WTOP television program "City
Side," Inspector John E. Win
tiers yesterday repeated his
earlier backing of an antiloiter-
ing law
Parents Involved
The measure, he said, Is
needed to help deal with young
sters on the streets with time
on their hands.
The antiloitering measure
which police officials want
would hold parents and guard
ianS responsible for allowing
street lettering by the juvenile
between 10 pm. and 6 am.
The law would carry a maxi
mum penalty of $500 fine or
a 90-day Jail term.
On yesterdays program, In
spector Winters said he OPP
posed a curfew because it is
too difficult to enforce and also
hits the innocent youngster.
The anti-loitering weapon. he
said, would give police "a
starting point" on learning the
reasons behind the nighttime
street loafing.
Penalties Urged
As to parental responsibility,
the police official said he wants
to know where those parents
are" when children are out late
on the streets.
There are cases, he said, Of
children 10 and II years old
found out as late as 3 am.
Parents would be subject to
penalty where the court finds
they have contributed to the
child's delinquency by their
own negligence. neglect or in
difference" Inspector Winters
explained.
