PORTSMOUTH, Va, Sept. II
(AP) The Virginia Supreme
Court has agreed to review the
conviction of a Colorado sailor
who was fined for not having
a Portsmouth city tag on his
automobile.
The writ of error was awarded
in the case of the City of
Portsmouth VS.. Harvey E. Whit
ing, tried in the Court of HuSt-
ingS January IA. Lawyers said
the outcome could have an inn
portant effect on the tax re-
ceipts of all Tidewater and
Northern Virginia communities.
Mr.. Whiting, a naval reserv-
ist, told the lower courts he
was ordered here from Denver
for active duty in 1858 and
rented a home in the city. He
added that he expected to re-
tire in December of this year
and then move to Mississippi.
While here, he bought a car,
registered and titled it in Vir-
ginia and bought Virginia tags
for it. He did not buy a city
tag, and on September 16, 1859,
he was arrested for violating
the city license ordinance.
Mr.. Writings attorney, Will
liam L. Parker, argued that his
domicle remained in Denver and
that the Soldiers and Sailors
Civil Relief Act exempted him
from buying a city tag.
Judge Robert F. McMurran
disagreed.

The Anne Arundel County
Circuit Court has ruled that an

ated with Charles F. Steffey,
Inc.

and Army officers played in the
game.

Renewal Acts

City council blunders are not
the reason for Alexandria S
urban renewal problems, Mayor
Leroy S. Bendheim said today.
The Mayor, denying an ac-
cusation by v. Ward Boswell,
who is chairman of Alexandria S
Redevelopment and Housing
Authority, said, "We refuse as
a council to accept any respon-
sibility for the predicament
Boswell finds himself in"
Mr.. Boswell has been asked
by the council to resign. His
resignation, the council said at
its Tuesday night meeting,
would restore public confidence
in urban renewal" The con-
troversy began when a group
Of citizens asked for a grand
jury investigation of two houses
owned by Mr.. Boswell. The
Health Department has called
the houses substandard.
The 82-year-old chairman of
the authority fought back yes
terday, asserting "the truth is,
the council has badly mishan-
died the whole subject itself,
and it obviously is seeking a
whipping boy"
The housing authority yes
terday voted unanimously, with
Mr.. Boswell excused and mem
ber Burt Lopatin abstaining, to
back Mr.. Boswell's position that
the council had no legal ground
to ask his resignation. The au-
thority told its chief it hoped
he would not yield to council
pressure.
The Mayor feels the author
ity members are opening them
selves to the threat of a coun-
Gil reprisal in that vote.
IF the urban renewal pro-
gram suffers a future loss of
public confidence because Bos-
well is chairman" the Mayor
said, there is a good chance
the council might lose conf
dence in the whole authority"
