EthicsCode


Standards Of conduct Of pub
lie officials are under study by
two Fairfax County groups
which feel 1t Is time for adop-
ton Of codes Of ethics.
The Vienna town council
plans to consider such q code
tonight. The draft Of the code
stems from an incident last
April, in which Councilwoman
Martha Pennino said Town
Manager l.. B. Cresswell had
improperly accepted honorary
membership in q local country
club.
Another code will be consid-
cred Thursday at the June
meeting Of the County Fedora
ton Of Citizens Association.
The federation bulletin says
the county code Of ethics
adopted last January by the
Board Of Supervisors lacks
teeth. The federation proposes
changes and additions that
would make the code more
meaninRful."
It would include q statement
that violators Of the code are
subject to dismissal or "appro-
pirate personnel action"
The federation also plans to
urge the State Legislature to
adopt q code Of ethics for
elected county officials.

EIIender Calls District
A CesspooI Of Crime

Senator Ellender. Democrat
of Louisiana. charged yester-
day that Washington is "a
cesspool as far as crime is
concerned" and asserted that
this proved his thesis that Me-
groes are not fit to govern
themselves.
I'm all Of the world you
have only three countries now
that are headed by Negroes"
Senator Ellender said. "They
are Liberia, Ethiopia and
Haiti"
He said q visit to those
countries would confirm that
Negroes are incapable" of
governing themselves.
Senator Ellender made his
comments In o discussion Of
civil rights with Senator
JavitS, Republican Of New
York, in q program tapped for
radio and television use.
Mr.. Ellender last December
caused a Juror In Africa with
similar remarks charging the
inability Of newly independent
Negro nations to govern them
selves without funds or aid
from whites.

would be unwelcome.
Mr.. Ellender declared IN his
discussion with Mr.. Javits:
Here in Washington 56 per
cent Of the people are Negroes.
They have control, as 1t
were, Of the school system.
Fifty-some odd per cent Of the
people engaged in teaching
school are Negroes, and in the
administration of the schools
over so per cent are Negroes. ="
Mr.. Ellender added that "85
per cent Of the schools are oc-
cupied by Negroes and you have
the worst conditions in WASH

Gas anker Crashes, Burns
In New York Ave. Spectacle
BY WALTER GOLD
star staff Writer

A fully-loaded gasoline
tanker-truck jackknifed and
burned for five hours yester-
day in the 34O0 block Of New
York avenue NE, causing
Washington's most spectacular
fire Of the year.
No one was seriously injured
In the accident or by the re-
sulting blaze.
Traffic on New York avenue
extended, near the Baltimore
Washington parkway, was re-
routed for seven hours while
District firemen waited for the
7,700-gallon tanker to burn it
self out.
At one time, a series Of ex-
plosions in the tanker sent
burning gasoline flowing along
the roadway, but all motorists
already had reached safety.
However, flames from the blaz-
ing tanker damaged a nearby
building and set fire to q grass
slope Of the National Arbore-
tum on the opposite side of the
street.
Tire Blowout Blamed
The truck driver, Luther E.
Addair, who described himself
as "a very lucky man." gave
police this account Of the
accident:
Mr.. Addair, 26, of 90 Ellis
worth street. Alexandria. was
driving the tanker-t truck west
on New York avenue NE.
shortly before pm. when
the left, front tire on the truck
apparently blew out.
Mr.. Addair said he lost con-
troll Of the tandem vehicle as
he applied his brakes. He said
the metal wheel rim of the
truck scraped the curbing Of
the streets understand jusa
as the tanker jackknifed into
a metal light pole on the traf-
fic island.
Mr.. Addair said he ran be-
hind the tanker and wildly
waved at several motorists who
had stopped behind him to
back up. which they did with l.
out hesitation.
AS Mr.. Addair circled the
burning vehicle waving away
would-be rescuers, Acting Po-
lice Sergt. Charles M. Trouble
field Of the Canine Corps, who
was cruising nearby in his po-
lice car, radioed for help.
Sergt. Troublefield said he
too ran toward the truck "un-
til the tanker exploded, send
ing a sheet of flames about 400
feet into the air."
Firemen Call for Aid
Within minutes, District fire.
men arrived and quickly called
for additional help, including
the city's foam fire-fighting
truck.
Firemen eventually washed
the flaming gasoline back to
an area surrounding the truck,
then allowed the tanker to burn |
itself out rather than risk their
lives trying to save the already
destroyed vehicle, according to
Deputy Fire Chief w. r.
Sweeney.
Chief Sweeney termed the
blaze "the most spectacular fire |
Of the year" in the District. He |
noted. however. only one per-
son was injured-Mr. Addair |
cut his left cheek and ripped |
his trousers when he escaped |
from the cab Of the truck.
The truck driver said he was
bound for a gasoline station in
Fairfax. Va. with 7,700 gallons
Of high test and regular fuel
from Baltimore. The tanker
truck and full load of fuel, |
owned by Peoples Gas Stations |
Of Annandale, Va, were de-
stroyed.
