There arises a serious ques-
ton as to the legality of the
councils action, since it is ap-
parent that no consideration
was given to the expressions for
or against in the purported
public hearing"
Because the council has de
stroyed the full faith and credit
traditionally given to such an
elected body the only out
for these council members !.
would be to resign forthwith, !"
Mr.. Pierce said.
Check on u. s. Employees
He added that the league is
taking steps to examine the
status Of several members of
the council who are Federal
employees to determine If "they
are or have been eligible to take
or hold office Of council mem
Der under Virginia law"
The Virginia statute provides
that o Federal "clerk" may
hold municipal office but bars
professional Federal employees
from such posts. The Falls
Church City charter, however,
expressly permits any Federal
employe to hold council office,
According to one councilman,
the charter is special State
legislation and therefore takes
precedence over Virginia gen.
eral law.
