5000 Increase
In Employment
Listed Here

A seasonal influx of work.
ers resulted in a $500 increase
in the number of Washington
area jobholders in May, a
Government employment Of
ficial said today.
Fred 2. Hetzel, director of
the District office of the United
States Employment Service,
said the total number of per-
sons employed in the area was
1888, 700 at the end of May, up
from a 776,800 total in April.
In the same 30-day period,
Mr.. Hetzel said, the estimated
number of unemployed dropped
only 700.
The USES official indicated
that employment increases
were larger than unemploy-
ment decreases because of the
arrival here Of construction
workers, those employed by
tourist-catering businesses and
others who have obtained
summer Government jobs.
A more meaningful indica-
ton of rising employment here
was the increase in total en-
ployment last month as COM
pared. to the same month one
year ago-a rise of 27.800.
In addition, the May unem-
ployment total of 1900 was
considerably below the May,
1861, jobless total of $1,000.

BY JERRY KLINE
Star Staff Writer

Alexandria residents who
heat their homes with gas will
pay a greatly increased tax on
their fuel next year, but those
who use coal and oil may escape
paying any fuel tax at all.
In the face of heavy opposi-
ton from coal and oil dealers
and apartment owners. the
council voted, 4 to 3, last night
to postpone action on a pro-
posed 10 per cent tax on coal
and oil used for heating.
Almost unnoticed at the same
meeting, however, the council
voted to remove the present
limitation on the utility tax that
gas customers pay. The maxi
mum gas tax has been SO cents
a month. With the limitation
removed, gas customers will
pay a flat 10 per cent on gas
as they do on other utilities.
During cold winter months,
when heating bills run as high
as $40 to $50, some customers
will pay 81 to SIS tax.

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Summer Is Critical
For Lotch-Key Boys

Tim and Peter are latch
key children"
Their parents separated when
they were very small. They
don't remember their father.
He has never supported them.
Their mother must work, and
is away all day earning the
tiny pay check that keeps them
going.
The boys, 10 and II, let
themselves into their empty
house after school.
The family lives in a bad
neighborhood because that's all
their mother can afford.
During the winter, neigh
Dor keeps an eye on the chill
dren.
But summertime is a night
mare for their mother.
No neighbor can watch out
for the boys all day long.
She knows how many wrong
things they can learn from the
wrong companions then.
Tim and Peters mother has
always tried, although some
times without success, to find
some place where they can
have fun and supervision in the
summer, so that she can work
| with an easy mind.

last nights decision.
Hearing Called Farce
Mr.. Dodd was fired March
9 but was given no reason, the
civil service report said. He
then appealed the action to
the commission which held a
hearing. Contractors COM
planned of having difficulties
with Mr.. Dodd, and said he
was diScourteous.
Mr.. Funderburk's letter re-
ferred to the hearing as "a
complete farce" and added,
1.-The commission was judge, a
jury and a prosecuting attorney
all in one they took no ones
word for anything except Mr..
Dodd's."
The commission report, how
ever. said that during its hear
ings school officials consistently
refused to provide specifics as
to why Mr.. Dodd was fired. 1t
recommended that the school
board "admonish" Mr.. Funder-
burk and the other officials and
that Mr.. Dodd be rehired with
full back pay.
Neither Mr.. Funderburk nor
the school board members
would be quoted after they

Alexandra Fuel Tax on Gas Up:
Levy May Miss Coal, Oil Users

Elimination of the gas tax
ceiling had been recommended
in conjunction with the pro-
posed new coal and oil tax by a
tax study commission.
The gas ceiling on the eight
year-old utility tax was orig
inally imposed so customers
would pay the tax only on gas
used for cooking or heating
water. The idea was to avoid
treating gas heating customers
unfairly, since the utility tax
did not apply to coal or oil.
Indications last night were
that the coal and oil ordinance,
which has been more strongly
debated than the gas tax, will
be defeated next Tuesday.
Councilman Timothy j. SWEET,
before voting with three others
to shelve the ordinance for a
quick study, announced his in
tention to vote against it next
week.
A score of opponents of the
tax, including four Alexandria
fuel dealers represented by
Delegate James M. Thomson,
spoke at the hearing. Mr..

Thomson said that if Alex
andria adopts the ordinance
the city will be the only one in
the State to tax fuel oil or coal.
The tax would present a re
verse ratio" he argued, in that
many loW-income residents liv-
ing in poorly constructed homes
which require excessive fuel
would pay more in tax money
than owners of expensive
homes.
A handful of supporters, Mrs
Robert S. Roe, president of the
Alexandria League of Women
Voters, said that her group
supported the utility tax lin
lieu of any alternative"
In other action. the long
awaited generalized land-use
plan was adopted and the major
thoroughfare plan was given
preliminary approval. The
plans, which had inspired a
lively and often vehement dis
pute among various groups
within the city, we're approved
with "a amendments suggested
by a council committee which
had studied them.
