Arlington Referendum
Due on Urban Board

The Arlington County Board
yesterday voted unanimously
its intention to put the question
Of an urban redevelopment au-
thority on the ballot in 1862.
But the board modified q re-
port Of q citizens committee
supporting the move by requir-
ing that Substantial commu-
nifty support be expressed first. |"
Board members Ralph KauI.
Ernest wilt and Herbert l..
Brown, before voting for the
resolution, first indicated res
ervations about the extent Of
business and civic group back
ing Of an urban redevelopment
authority.
Board Chairman Leo Ur-
banske and member Thomas
Richards supported the resolu-
ton to put the question on the
ballot next year.
Commercial Areas Target
Lazlo Ecker-Racz, chairman
Of the 15-member renewal
study committee. told the board
that any authority primarily
would be aimed at redevclop-
ment Of commercial and in
dustrial areas. The commit
tee especially focused its at
tention on RosSlyn, Clarendon
and the area in between, he
said.
But Mr.. Ecker RACE empha-
sized that redevelopment must
be countrywide and could be
financed entirely through pri-
vate means.
Arlington has the geograph-
ic. the economic and the popu-
lation potential to do a re-
markable redevelopment job,"
he said.
Preston Caruthers, president
Of the Preston Construction
Co., and committee vice chair
man, told the board, I'VE feel
basically it can be sold to the
business community. It's good
business for the people Of the
county"
Condition Added
Mr.. Brown. recalling the de-
feat at the polls Of an urban
renewal authority for Rosslyn
in 1859, asked that the reso-
luton be withdrawn until Oc-
tober so that community senti-
ment could be sounded out.
Mr.. Urbanske urged action
now. II think we can get it
faster if we adopt the report
now and push it over to the

the Charlottesville bypass, from
U, s. Route 90 north Of the

East West traffic using the
road will completely bypass the
business section Of the city.
The new link will also relieve
the present U. S. 20 Of much
of its traffic from the bypass
intersection near the northern
city limits to U. s. $50 near the
University of Virginia.
The new section IS just over
two miles in length, including
the interchange at U. S. $50,
and has a two-lane, 24.foot
roadway with design provisions
for two additional lanes.
On the western end, where
the new section goes over Vir-
ginia 754, the CSzo Railroad
and U. s. $50, a 0.3-mile
stretch of the road was divided
in preparation for future
four-laning. Where the bypass
goes over other roads, such as
Barracks road. parallel bridges
will be built later.

round the bed twice and peered
underneath it a dozen times.
There was nothing there. The
King decided that the whole
thing had been a nightmare.
I've really been reading too
many detective storieS," he
scolded himself. And then
there was all that commotion
about the Ipswich. My nerves
are on edge. I'll feel better
when I've had some sleep"
He remade the bed. tucking
the sheet in on all sides and
tucking in three blankets with
hospital corners. Then he
turned out the light and
crawled under the cover.
He had scarcely shut his eyes
when there was a long, low
s-q-u-eeeeee-k from the far
side of the room. The Kings
eyes flew open. He knew the
squeek was caused by the hinge
on his door. 1t needed oiling
and the door always squeeked
when it was opened.
The King lay there holding
his breath. Someone had
opened the door and was in the
room with him.
"I'll not be murdered in my
bed!" thought the King bravely
and he leaped out of the covers
and turned on the light.
The room was empty. The
door was closed.
But the Kings nerve was
gone. He rushed into the hall
and shouted, Help! Help"
Ministers from all over the
palace came stumbling through
the corridors. When they ar
rived in the Kings room he
told them what had happened.
They turned the room upside
down and even took the bed
apart but there was nothing to
be found.
The ministers looked at the
King. They were wondering If

Then, as it was quite late, he
retired to his room to read in

was reading an old mystery
that he had already read
several times but still it was
better than no mystery at all.
He was just beginning to
doze off when a remarkable
thing happened. The bed sheet
began to move!
The King tugged the sheet
back under his chin. But no
sooner was he settled comfort
ably than the sheet began to
slip again. Slowly, slowly, it
drifted toward the foot of the
bed.
The King watched in aston

across his chest and stomach
and over his bent knees. Just
as it was about to slide ovel
his toes, the King threw him.

Opening lead: King of clubs.
West opened the king of
clubs, holding the trick. West
continued with the queen of
clubs to dummy's ace, not sus-
pecting that a switch to dia-
monds would eventually de-
velop a diamond ruff for East.
1t would be easy for South
to go down by taking the top
hearts and ruffing a heart
with dummy's small trump at
once. West would refuse to
take the king of spades. Now
if South tried to get back with
a diamond East would step up
with the ace of diamonds and
return a diamond to make sure
of a ruffing trick.
If South tried to get back
by ruffing a club instead of
leading a diamond, he would
be forced to ruff clubs twice
and would run out Of trumps.
Changes Mind
When the hand was played
a few months ago in the Euro
Ipean women's team champion
ship, the South player started
off on a winning line Of play
by leading the king of spades
from dummy. She could have
made the contract by continu-
ing with trumps and then de-
veloping dummy's diamonds.
When the king of spades
won, however. South changed
her mind. She switched to
hearts, intending to ruff the
third heart in dummy. West
stepped up with the eight of
trumps to shut dummy out and
now the contract was unmak-
able.
Perhaps the moral is that
is doesn't pay to bid a sketchy
game if you're not in the mood
to play it carefully. Or, per-
haps, it's fairer to say that
we can all play a hand better

He waited and waited. Pres
