Wants To Train Others
II want to train six or a
dozen people. I want to spread
to them what I've learned. I'm
fighting time. We need money
and backing. Not for me {.
I'm not hurting a bit. But
I'd have to take people from
their jobs and they'd have to
have money while being trained.
They'd have to be special
people. Those who could study
special foot problems and also
do master craftsmanship"
Since his heart attack, Tony's
doctor has told him to limit
his work.
II feel good. I'm doing fine.
But I hurt inside and it has
nothing to do with my health.
I'm eternally mad I can't give
to the people the proof of
years and years of work"

Citing imminent construc-
ton of an apartment project
in the corridor planned for
the Six-lane thoroughfare, he
asserted that if the county does
not act now to preserve rights
Of way, it will be forced to
adopt an alternate route which
will cost much more and abol-
ish many more homes.
He said these factors, to-
gether with right of way pur-7
chases already made, forced
a change in his position.
Board Members Ralph Raul
and Leo Urbanske bristled in
opposition to the freeway,
contending that its costs make
it impractical and that it ig-
nores possibilities offered by
a mass transit system.
Brown Supports
Supporting it is Chairman
Herbert Brown who said before
that decisions cannot be evaded
because they are controversial
and that the freeway recon-
mendation represents the best
available professional advice for
solution of Arlington's mount
ing traffic congestion.
Thus, board member Ernest
Wilt who joined with Mr.. Brown
and DR.. Blevins in ordering the
hearing next month probably
will have to cast the decisive
vote.
II think we ought to have
the freeway, but the costs cited
for land acquisition are appall-
ing" he said last night.
I'm going to take another
look at IL ana my decision VIII
be based on whether it is
economically feasible.
AS now conceived, the free
way would follow Walter Reed
drive to Glebe road, then
parallel Seventeenth street to
the northwestern section Of the
Army Navy Club where it
would split into two legs. One
would slice through club prop
erty to Fifteenth street con-
nection with U. S. Route / and
the new Pentagon City area.
The other would curve north
ward from the club to CO.
lumbia Pike and Scott street.
then cross Washington boule-
ward to Southgate road, north
of the Navy annex.

The proposed spending total
is $3.50 million higher than the
estimated comparable figure for
the current fiscal period. In
recommending this fiscal pro-
gram, the budget Office had
slashed spending requests of
department heads by nearly
$20.2 million.
The spending program would,
II approved, provide for the
continuation of scheduled con-
struction projects along with
adequate services for the Dis
trict with some small amount
OF improvements in operations
in conformance with previously
established policies of the Com
misSioners."
The proposed 1885 million
figure covers about 1927 mil
lion for operating expenses and
about $50 million for capital
works. The recommended
amount for operating expense
items is $11.5 million higher
than this years figure and the
proposal for capital outlay is
SIS million higher.
Suggestions for Financing
To finance the proposed
program, the budget
officers suggested that the
Commissioners seek some COM
bination of tax increases and
a larger Federal payment to
the District. The report did
not set forth specific revenue
proposals.
And, because of the city's
failure to win any tax increase
legislation from the last Con-
gress, the budget Office sug-
gested that the Commissioners
get the views Of key members
Of Congress and Federal Budget
Bureau officials before coming
up with new tax proposals.

You have to fly pretty fast to

street in Arlington.
Big, amiable Marine 1t. Col
Thomas H. Miller came back
to his new house at 1883 North
Harrison the other day with a

After a drum fire of denucia-
tionS from citizens groups, the
board last June killed pro-
posals for the 81 million free

clared essential to metropoli-
tan area traffic.
New Fight Seen
Tom Richards, the candidate
of the ArlingtonianS for a Bet
ter County coalition, who is try
ing to unseat DR.. Blevins, de-
clared he would lead the fight"
against the freeway.
DR.. Blevins, who last June
voted with the majority to
strike the expressway from the
county's subsequently adopted
master thoroughfare plan, said
yesterday that he would vote to
reinstate it after the public
hearing next month.

pointed out that the proposed
increase in spending contained
in the Districts 1886 million
budget is mainly the result of
mandatory items.
The third Commissioner,
Robert E. Mclaughlin, is re-
operating from a mild heart
attack at his farm near Gull
pepper, Va.
Col. Clarke noted that Con-
gress has the say on the Dis
trict's spending items.
1T looks as if the budget
provides the increased services
Congress wanted" he said.
Calls Request Reasonable
Mr.. Sullivan promised to
take a good sharp look at
the budget to see if we can cut
without harming anything"
But, he said, "basically the
major part of the increase was
obligatory"
What we must try to do"
he continued, sis to bring the
existing city operation up to a
point where it is most effec-
tive. I would say the budget
request seems reasonable"
Both of the Commissioners
emphasized that they have not
yet had time to study the pro-
posalS in detail. And they
pointed out that Congress must
authorize all revenue items,
including tax changes, bor-
rowing and the Federal pay
ment to the city.
Both said they would with
hold their budget recommended
tons until after a public hear
ing, set for 10 am. October 4
in the District Building.
The record 1926 million
spending program for the fiscal
year beginning next July / was
recommended Friday by the
Commissioners budget aides.

1t is easy to criticize. 1t is easy to make trouble
No school system, no school board school official
no teacher-and no pupil are perfect. Hambden folk
are no exception.
1t takes hard work to build community. 1t

Hambden is growing rapidly. With growth comes
problems and need for change

Hembden. If they bicker, criticize and fight they
will harm their community-and if they criticize and
fight about their schools, they will especially harm
their children
All indications are that Hambden will have
much better school next year-and portion of the
credit will go to the folk who took part in the Hamb
den parents meeting last Thursday.
