Cars coming down Foxhall
road were either turned around
or sent east on Reservoir road
Motorists coming from Virginia
over the bridge could turn only
east on NJ street.
Nearly a million gallons Of
water gushed out before work
men stopped the flow.
Broken pavement heaved uT
by the pressure of the water
made a foaming rapids out Of
M street from the Key Bridge
west to Thirty-sixth street. A
stretch of pavement 80 feet
across and 1873 feet long was
broken UP on the north side
of M street in front of the
D. c. Transit Co. building.
The water main, a 36-inch
low-pressure cast iron pipe
probably installed 80 years ago
ruptured at 8:08 am. and wa;
shut off by Water Department
crews at 9 am.
Serves Three Sections
The water main, gravity-fed
from Dalecarlia filtration plant
on Macarthur boulevard at the
District line, serves parts Of
the Southeast, Southwest and
Northeast districts.
Inspector Lewis B. Peters OF
of the Traffic Division said
drivers headed west on M street
can go north on Wisconsin
avenue to Reservoir road; those
heading west on K street can
take the WhitehurSt freeway
since the Canal road exit is
open.
There will be no left turn
off the Key Bridge in all
probability, he said, and motor
lists from Virginia heading west
should cross on Memorial
Bridge and pick up the White
hurst freeWay.
Today's broken main was
only a short distance from the
site of a spectacular gusher last
May.

Algerian Moves

ALGIERS, July 81 (AP).-
The arrest of Mohammed Bou-
diaf by dissident Deputy Pre-
mier Ahmed Ben Bella's forces
halted all moves toward a
reconciliation of Algeria's rival
leaders today.
The seizure of Mr.. Boudiaf
also Deputy Premier and Mr.
Ben Bella's most bitter rival
brought demands from politi-
clans Of both camps that he
be released.
Mr.. Ben Bella's righthand
man, Mohammed Kinder, tolc
newSmen in Algiers: "Boudiai
must be released. II I have
to go personally to get him,
will CO."
Nearly "a hours after Mr.
Boudiaf was captured while
visiting his home town OF
M'Sila, about ITO miles south
east of Algiers, there was still
no word of his release.
Escort Released
Mr.. Boudiaf's driver and
three-man military escort seized
with him were freed early to-
day. They said the troops who
arrested them showed an ar.
rest warrant issued, signed anc
stamped by the command Of
wilaya military zone) No.
This leaves no doubt thai
the arrest was carefully
planned and executed by thi'
wilaya, apparently on its owr
initiative" the driver said.
Wilaya No. l guerrillas ag
gressively support Mr.. Bel
Bella. These troops were in
volved in a brief skirmish las
week in taking over Con
stantine.
Conference Delayed
Representatives of the riva
hostile political factions con
ferred separately in the govern
ment building with moderate
Premier Ben Youssef Bel
Khedda early in the day. But 1
face-to-face peace conference
failed to develop.

JUNEAU OBSERVING WARM SPRING

= JUNEAU (Special)-The adj
vent of spring never is a time
for much lighthearted rejoicing
in Alaska capital city.
Rather, it is time of over
stated causes, frayed nerves and
general exhaustion. March 81
falls during the closing days of
the Legislature. This is the time
when cat and mouse playfulness
ends and hard bargaining begins.
1t is the time when much-wanted
legislation is either enacted or re-
jected. 1t is the time when a hand
full of ordinary men decide how tens
of millions of dollars of public
money is to be spent.
But this year, despite an unusual
ly difficult session, spring brought
to the legislative halls welcome
respite. Suddenly the warm spot
light of public interest was turned
in other directions.
Hours after the equinox the CAPT.
tai learned that newly-installed
Commissioner of Highways Sam
Johnson, had sent a letter to Gov
ernor Egan urging the reinstatement
of his predecessor, Thurman D..
Sherard
Either Or Else"
The blockbuster letter was writ
ten in an unmistakable either or
else" tone-either rehire Sherard
or lose some of the top people in
Jessen's weekly., 1962-03-28

Whether or not he wrote it, the
capital soon discovered that john
son hadn't released the letter to the
press. He had only sent one copy
from the Highway Building = to
Governor Egan. How then had it
reached the hands of eager report
ers? Obviously someone had lifted
a copy from Highway Department
files and arranged for its publica-
ton.
Since Governor Egan dismissed
Sherard in mid-January. it has been
apparent that the Sherard lobby
has been one of the most powerful
in Juneau. 1t has been noticably as
sisted by Republican legislators
and others who, for one reason or
another, have taken an interest
bordering on delight in champion
ing his cause.
The governor apparently decided
to look the other way rather than
disturb the equilibrium of the high
way organization or. personally at
tack Sherard or any other profess
sional man obviously taking part
in the antics.
Files Used
In doing so he took no public
notice that the highway files were
used in preparing Sherards state
ment at the recently-completed
highway investigation, or that the

'sopen-end contracts had been found, such as the one that had been discussed last week.
 Brewington said that he had learned that there had been no bid on the contract for the purchase of fuels and lubricants by the City in the last two years.
 Nordby stated that he had learned of this contract and had instructed the City purchasing agent to pre- pare new bid.
 Asks About Discounts
 BreWington then pointed out that the contract should have been let over a year ago. He asked if Nordby knew if City employees were given personal discounts on their gas and oil because of the Citys purchase of gas and oil from the same company.
 He also demanded to know if <'there are many City employees using City purchasing power to get a discount and avoid sales tax on the purchase of automotive parts for personal use.'
 BreWington pointed out that the City Manager was paid $17,O00 year to know such things and felt he should be able to answer the questions of the Council.
 T don't mind answering ques- tions,' Nordby replied. He went on to explain that most of these mat ters are routine, and are handled, in many instances, by competent personnel. He went on to point out that the City is involved in hum dreds of transactions, and that he was unable to answer questions on all of them in detail
 Doubts Competence kS ass :
 Brewington then stated that in some instances such routine .mea- sures had not been handled by com- petent personnel. T would think, MT. Nordby. that because of that in- stance in the Finance Dept, you would look for other instances"
Jessen's weekly., 1962-02-28

BreWingtOn then stated that he had spoken to several of the oil companies, and that he had been advised that the City would have saved considerable money had the purchase of gas and oil been put out on bid. He said he had heard that the City Manager had been advised of this last summer but had failed to do anything about it.
 Brewington then stated that he felt if City employees were getting discounts due to the City's accounts, such discounts should be extended to all the taxpayers. He asked Nordby if he had been contacted by a local garage owner in relation to discounts City employees were receiving.
 T don't have any comment" said Nordby Brewington then asked his question again.
 Ruled Out of Order
 Mayor Joseph Rlbar told Brew ington that he was making serious accusations, then ruled him out of order. as he had already spoken twice on the same subject.
 Brewington stated he was making no accusations, merely trying to confirm rumors. He then appealed the Mayors decision to the City At torney.
 Ribar stated that he felt Brew ington's tactics were unsportsman- like He said he felt Nordby should have been advised in advance of the meeting what questions were to be asked so he could have time to pre- pare an answer.
 The City. Attorney ruled Brewing ton could proceed. However, Brew ington chose not to, stating, Now, MT. City Manager, we'll pass over this, but I'll bring it back again"

Cinema Ice Pool Offers Big Sum
 For Right Guess

From 5000 to $l0,00O is in store for this years Cinema Ice Pool win ner, according to the Fairbanks Fire Department, sponsor of the classic.
 Anyone who is resident of Alas ka or the Yukon Territory may purchase tickets which are now on sale at local business establishments for $1. A guess for the second. minute, day, and month that the clock on the river will stop is made on each ticket that is turned in
 When the ice poles that are now set up below the new bridge on Cushman move 30 feet down the river the clock is triggered off. Since the ice is in such poor condi- tion there this year, Captain Will liam Neptune of the department said that the poles might be moved down the river a ways.
 The pool was begun in 1909 and is sponsored by the Fire Department for the Firemen's Benefit Associa- ton.
 Last year the ice went out at 4:12 am, April g. The earliest the ice has gone out was at PAP pm April IT, 1857, and the latest date was 1856 pm. May Is, 1945.
