Alexandra Studies
Merger of Services

Alexandria soon will con-
slider merging its police and fire
departments.
City Manager E. G. Heatwole
told the city council last night
a merger of the police and fire
services offers the greatest po-
tential for economy in the local
government"
Mr.. Heatwole said the 18-
month study would be made
by two administrative aides the
city will hire to assist him in
reviewing the city administra-
ton.
Renewal Opposition
The city. he said, must ex-
plore this operation to see
whether it would be practical
and whether savings would re-
suit.
Public safety expenditures,
including police and fire pro-
lection, now account for
roughly IS per cent Of the
city's SIS million budget. Police
and fire alone total almost 50
million.
In other business, stiff op-
position led by State Senator
Armistead L. Boothe defeated
a surprise move by the city's
school board to curtail drasti-
cally the Midtown urban re-
newal project approved by the
old city council earlier this
year.
A proposal by the board
which would have sharply re-
duced the area set aside for re-
location Of present Negro resi-
dents of the area was defeated
after several votes. Supporting
the school boards plea were
Mayor Frank E. Mann and Vice
Mayor Eugene w Zimmerman

The plan approved again last
night, calls for provision of
homes for 20 Negro families
now living in the area, while
the school board proposal would
have permitted only 10 families
to remain.
ZOning Petition
The council heard a petition
from residents of the Tarleton
area, off Duke street, who asked
council aid in their fight
against commercial develop
ment of property in the area.
The group said a coming map
error designating their area as
residential was discovered when
construction began for a store
and the property was found to
be actually commercial.
The council asked City At
torney v. Floyd Williams to
study possible remedies.
The council filled three va
cancies on the city's redevelop-
ment and housing authority,
which directs public housing
and urban renewal projects, by
naming Cullen B. Jones, jr., an
attorney; Leonard Calhoun, an
attorney, and r. j. Beech, a
builder, to the authority.
Named to the board of health
was DR.. John c. Watson. Mrs.
Charlotte D. Goodman was ap-
pointed to the board Of housing
hygiene. an appellate body
which handles enforcement of
the city'S housing code.
The council decided to go
after dog owners as we'll as dogs
by changing the city'S law
against dogs running at large.
The new law provides fines
from $5-$25 for violation where
the present law carried no pen
alties against the owners.

LOST OPPORTUNITY

LOST OPPORTUNITY
WE UNDERSTAND that grocery stores in New York are
selling canned pigeon peas. So what Everybody knows and
has enjoyed pigeon peas. They grow easily all over the place,
and many small farmers did not even bother to plant them as
a crop, but merely planted them along the edges Of fields. But
the significance Of this product in New York means that these
Islands have again missed the boat.
FOR MANY we have failed to take advantage of
our opportunities in agriculture, and other areas. Preoccupied
with matters which are often superficial we miss our chances
to improve our economy. There is no getting away from it, a
concerted plan, Of action for the development Of these Islands
will have to take shape, and be put into effect.
IN AGRICULTURE, for example, the trend has been to
side-step this most important phase of our economy and our
life. For many years we have imported the bulk of our food.
Sugar cane has been our one crop, nor have we worried too
much to look for other crops to d develop. And even where sugar
cane is concerned, it is now clear that an additional thousand
acres Of sugar cane could have stood us in good stead, with
Cuba's quota cut back sharply.
TO GET H most out Of agriculture, a program should
have been put into effect long ago. First, there should have
been a number of model o~nefamily farms set up, and put in
operation under actual working condition, with a family living
on each one and making its livelihood directly out of it. These
would have been on display as practical examples OF what
could be done, and how.
H SECOND STEP should have been a constant search
for new products and crops as sources Of added income. A real
program Of experimentation to find these products should
have been. high on our list. While we are only a drop in the
bucket, the example Of George Washington Carver should
serve because almost singlehandedly he developed products
which changed the production possibilities Of an entire region
converting waste into real income. 1t has been found that the
wild cherry Of which we may have thought 50 little, has high
food value, and could become a source Of added income.
IF CANNED PIGEON peas can be found on the shelves
of grocery stores in Network, then these Islands should have
found a place in such a venture. And that is not all. We should
sleep no longer, for the longer we sleep the more money we
lose, and the morewe suffer.

Postal Rise
Kept Alive by
House Group
BY the Associated Press

The administration today. won
a second chance to press for an
increase in postal rates in the
House this session.
BY a 1873 vote, the House
Post Office Committee voted to
reconsider It's action of last
week putting the postal rate
bill aside for the rest of the
year. 1t will consider scaled
down rate proposal July IL.
No action was taken on the
new proposal itself. however
and one key member of the
committee predicted fatty Con-
gress would not vote a rate in
crease this session.
The committee action fol-
lowed the introduction of a
new rate bill by the Post Of
flee Department making con-
cessions to Congress, demand
that a greater part of the de-
partment's expenses be con-
sidered a public service, not
covered by revenue from rates
In the bill4put aside last week
the department allowed only
$50 million for public service.
The new proposal would in-
crease the figure to $235 mil
lion.
Left unchanged was the de-
partment's request for a one
|cent-sboost in both first class
and air mail rates.

HighwayAct
Becomes Law
Kennedy Signs Bill.
Praises Congress
BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star staff Writer

President Kennedy paid trib-
ute to the work of Congress
today in signing into law the
1861 Federal Highway Act.
The President said that Con-
gress had accepted the chal-
lenge" of the perils to the
completion of the interstate
highway system in approving
legislation designed to COM
plete the program on schedule
in 1872.
The President signed the bill
in his office before a group of
members of Congress and adj
ministration officials. He used
and then gave to those who
were instrumental in the adop-
ton of the act more than a
score of souvenir pens.
The collection of pens were
arranged neatly in a holder on
the Presidents desk. They bore
an inscription, "the President
the White House" -.
Tribute to Congress
The President said the legis-
lation was a tribute to the dill
igence and the conscientious
work of Congress. He said it
would add to the Nations de-
Tense, reduce accidents, pro-
vide lower highway costs and
stimulate economic develop
lnent.
The President gave the first
pen to Senator Maureen Neu-
berger. Democrat of Oregon
and then passed out others tC

the House who were invited to
the White House for the cere-
mony.

Both Satellites"
The city and the area it
sought to annex are both sat
elites of Washington" the
court said, despite the city's
argument that the As square

city.
The court noted that Falls
Church has no sewage disposal
plant. owns no facilities for
trash or garbage disposal, has
no Negro school, no health

ment and no Jail. The county
has all these facilities. and the
city uses many of them.

capped children in the school
system and provides no buses
for high school children, the
court said. The county offers
its residents both.
In addition, the area has a
much greater community of in

than with Falls Church, the
court added.
