$4,000 Fire
Sweeps Store

Fire burned through a two
story building on the main
street In Vienna, Va, about
daybreak today. causing an es-
timated $4,000 damage.
The cinderblock structure at
237 West Maple avenue (Route
1921 housed Cops Motor Sales
on the first floor and Vienna
Lodge, No. 1896, Loyal Order Of
Moose. on the second.
Alfred Savia. assistant fire
marshal for Fairfax County.
furnished the damage estimate.
He said the fire appeared to
have started at the back of the
building and apparently burned
for several hours before 1t was
discovered. The back half of
the second floor was demol-
ished.
Flames broke out through
the roof and were spotted al
most simultaneously, about
$40 am. by a passing Vienna
town policeman and 1t. Rob-
ert H. Hunter of the Vienna
Volunteer Fire Department as
he looked out a kitchen window
in his home.
Firemen said the flames lit
UP the early-morning sky and
could be seen for at least
2 miles.
Mr.. Savia said he was unable
to determine Immediately how
the fire started.
George L. Copp. owner Of
the firm which sells and repairs
motor scooters, lawn mowers
and other small motors, said
the upstairs portion formerly
had been a dance studio but
was rented to the Moose lodge
about five months ago.

Arlingtonions for q Better
County.
The ABC. a liberal coalition
group Of Democrats, Republic
cans, and independents, re-
elected two members to the
county board Tuesday, retain
ing its four-to-one majority on
the board. This was the third
straight victory for the ABC.
In 1858, the ABC elected a
member over the opposition Of
two Independents and in 1857
elected a member who was OPP
posed by a candidate Of the
Arlington Independent Move
rnent.
The AIM was q coalition
group made up largely Of con-
sentative Democrats, Republic
cans and Independents. 1t
folded after the 1857 defeat.
The Democrats. who DOM
mate most other county Offices.
have not won a seat on the
County Board since 1858. The
last Republican to serve was
elected in 1852. Both parties
in the last few years have left
the field to the coalition groups
and Independent candidates.
Team-Up Charged
This year the two parties
each put up a single candidate
for the two seats up for cleo
ton. This led to charges from
the ABC that party leaders
were teaming UP to kill the
ABC.
ABC candidate Ralph Raul
resigned from the Democratic
Committee after the Democrats
held a convention and nomi-
mated a County Board candi-
date.
One of the major issues in
the campaign was whether
party politics should be brought
back to the County Board level.
Lawson Wimberly. chairman
of the Democratic Executive
Committee. said his position
had always been that the Demo-
Gratis should have a candidate
for every Office. Both ne and
former chairman Ernest Lyons
predicted the Democrats would
have a County Board candi-
date next year. Both felt the
candidates should be nominated
in a primary rather than at a
convention.
The, Democratic Committee
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-11-05

held a primary this year for
other offices but the decision to
field a County Board candidate
was made too late to set up
machinery. for a primary for
that office, party leaders said.
Republican executive chair
man David Gordon and candi-
date Alvin Smell, who was de-
feated in Tuesdays election.
said the Republicans also win
field a County Board candidate
again next year.,
Leaders in both parties said
that the grass roots" activity
involved in q County Board
race strengthens the two party
system.
About $4,000 voters partici-
pated in Tuesdays election,
each of them having two votes
for County Board candidates.
Democrat Alfred Grove polled
SPAS votes. meaning that
nearly half the voters cast one
of their two votes for him.
Republican Smell received STA
votes. indicating that approxi-
mately one-third of the voters
cast one vote for him.
New Party Battle Seen
The. successful candidate,
David Krupsaw and Mr.. Kaul,
received 1897 and 1859 votes
respectively. Independent Rus
sell Runyon polled 1853 votes.
One County Board seat now
occupied by AIM candidate
Lucas Blevins. is up for election
next year. DR.. Blevins. a den
fist, has indicated he will not
run again, but Mr.. Lyons said
he hoped DR.. Blevins could be
persuaded to run as Democrat.
DR.. Blevins was elected to the
Democratic Committee last
July.
/ If the. Democrats enter the
race again. it is likely to lead
to another move by a liberal
faction to win control Of the
party's executive committee in
1861. The minority group staged
an unsuccessful fight to take
over the committee last July.
Democratic leaders claimed at
that time that the move actu-
ally was promoted by the ABC
to get complete control Of poll
tics in Arlington.

In other action the board

which would include the sub

The supervisors also agreed
to rezone land at Columbia

supermarket and a large drug
store. A 4.2-acre plot at Semi

The we'll. in the heart of the
rinrhcr Greek field. opened with
a flow of 2Ol.llO.OOO cubic feet a
day. a terrific production figure.
This new discovery may have a
bearing on the Babb operation, as
far as depth of drilling is con.
ccrned. although no official word
has been announced. Originally,
1t had been announced that the
maximum depth would be 1880
feet.
a; around 1860 feet a slight
show Of gas ard sulphur water
was recovered. This. however, was
not caourag!ng ard since then
no further indications have been
announced.
According to last weeks report
there was considerable activity on
the location when nearly $4,000
feet of pipe was crimped and a
crew had to be called in to pull
the pipe and straighten 1t.
II is generally believed that
there is gocd production of gas.
and possibly oil. in the Babb area.
