assistant director of GAGS
Civil Accounting Division, said
after concluding his testimony
Also Qualification
Earlier, another GAO wit
ness, Bernard s. Sacks, a super
visory accountant in charge of
reviewing renewal in a num-
Der of Cities told the subcom-
mittee his agency believes URA
regulations should be "clari-
fled concerning the eligibility
Of an area for renewal"
Mr.. Sacks was questioned by
Representative Dowdy, Demo
crat of Texas, the subcommit-
tees chairman, and by Repre-
sentative Harsha, Republican
Of Ohio, on a GAO study criti-
Ching the URA for approving
a large-scale demolition project
in Cleveland.
Under questioning by Mr.
Dowdy, Mr.. Sacks conceded
that even the United State:
Capitol could be classified al
"substandard" under present
subjective" renewal regula-
tons.
Zone official may consider
a building substandard because
it is on a street that is crooked
and thus a blighting influence,
he said, while another official
may feel that a crooked street
is charming and not a blighting
influence at all"

Water Chief:
Switch Jobs
In Fairfax

Two top officers of the Fair
fax County Water Authority,
who have not been replaced
or repointed although their
terms have expired, have
switched their uncertain jobs.
Samuel E. Neel, chairman
since the creation of the au-
Chority in 1857, became secre-
tary-treasurer in elections held
Thursday. Douglas A. Brooks,
the secretary-treaSurer for six
years, succeeded Mr.. Neel as
chairman.
Delay in reappointing them
or choosing successors has &C.
Cured because the coalition
of Democratic Supervisor Mrs.
Anne wilkins and the three
Republican supervisors has hit
a temporary Snag on the issue.
The coalition was formed four
years ago for the purpose Of
organizing the board and max
ing political appointments.
Privately, the supervisors say
Mr.. Brooks eventually will be
reappointed and Mr.. Neel will
be replaced. Mr.. Neel originally
was named on recommended
ton Of Republican Supervisor
A. Claiborne Leigh, but ami
mostly developed between
them over Mr.. Leigh's support
of the controversial Merrywood
apartment project.
The appointment Of Mr.
Brooks IS being held up only
because the supervisors report
eddy would like to make the
appointments simultaneously
The terms Of the two men ex-
pired June 30.
Mr.. Brooks, commenting yes
terday on his uncertain status
said II haven't had any indi-
cation that I wouldn't be re.
appointed" He noted, however
that the Board Of supervisors
had taken no action on hi
case.
Mr.. Brooks said Mr.. Neel an
nounced Thursday that he die
not wish, under any circum'
stances, to serve as chairman
OF the authority again.
Mr.. Brooks said he had beer
q opposed for the Craftsmanship
by Fred c. NORM, who late
was reelected to his post a
vice chairman for another yea,
over William M. Waugh. MI
Waugh also vainly opposed Mr.
Neel for the post Of secretary
treasurer.
Mr.. Brooks, however, salt
there was mo bitter opposi
ton"
The members, who are ap
pointed to the authority TO
three-year periods, elect theii
own officials for one-yeaI
terms.
Although the terms Of thu
two men have expired, the Law
provides that the members may
serve until they are reappointec
or replaced.

One of these who had to secure

His Honor, the Mayor of Mime

There was just So seats on the

Originally a plane seating 80
persons was ordered but the slow
trickle of money and of passengers
fer the bigger plane frightened the
hard working committee and the
smaller So passenger American
Lines plane was ordered at a time
when the committee had not raised
enough money to pay for 1t.
Later as the tempo of the ma
tional campaign increased and II
appeared that all of the attempts
to keep the march from frlition
had been turned back, everybody
seemed ito request space on the
Minnesota plane at once.
Many of the known leaders Of
the civil rights movement were not
on the plane when 1t taSded out to
begin its flight East but most OF
them were in Washington at par
ade time.
Such citizens as Judge L. How
ard Bennett, Curtis c. Cfhvers,
Mrs. Paul Muller, the Rev. Lowell
johnson, Sr., were on hand in
Washington to Join the chartered
plane delegation when It reached
Washington.
There were an estimated lit

to go on the Minnesota plane.
Most of them either sent money to
pay the $95 round trip or part Of
the amount.

Some 2,2OO chartered buses

Most of the nations larger news
papers supplemented their wire re-
ports with on the spot coverage by
their own personnel. The whole
Washington press corps devoted
itself to reporting every phase of
the March.
An the larger Negro newspapers
had their own men on the scene.
One, the Afro American, had 20
writer's and photographers cover
ing the days events.
1t was a field day for free lance
feature writers, sketch artists and
art photographers who hoped to
find a ready market for their eff
forts.
In fact, there was so much
scribbhng and picture taking that
1t was difficult to distinguish legi-
innate reporters and news photo
graphers from marchers who were
taking personal notes or making
pictures for their scrapbooks.
1t is hard to imagine any event
that has been more thoroughly
covered than the March on Wash
ington.
The three teleVsion networks,
pooled technical facilities to cover
the March at least % cameras for
live telecasts were stationed at
various points in the city
In the number of cameras and
the amount Of other technical
equipment the coverage was the
biggest since the Presidential an
auguration, according to William

Shingles Got Him!
NeWmon'S Illness
Prevents March On
Washington Trip

One longtime civil and Human
rights figure who is nationally
known was not with the Minnesota
delegation which participated in
the historic protest demonstration
in Washington, DC. Wednesday,
August %.
The individual is Cecil Newman,
editor Of the st. Paul RECORDER
and Minneapolis SPOKESMAN.
Newman's physician, DR.. w. D.
Brown, Sr., after three days of
treatment Of an ailment in an ef-
fort to fit the newsman for the
trip finally informed him he
couldn't go to the demonstration
A total of over 115 Minnesotans
made the trip. Fifty eight went by
charter plane.
The pressure of increased work
by Newman caused by the explo-
sive racial crisis and its various
angles and problems has taken its
physical and mental toll on the
usually ebullient, fast-moving edi.
tor.
The doctor diagnosed his illness
as shingles, an ailiment caused by
infected nerve ends. Full recovery
often takes five to six weeks OF
more.
Newman worked with the COM
mittee headed by Matthew Little
and served as a door to door sohc-
itor for the drive for funds.
Another very active member OF
the Minnesota March to Washing
ton committee DR.. James White,
chairman Of the Minneapolis CORE
chapter declined to make the trip
as did Tom johnson, treasurer.
