Team Probes
Food Program
District License
Inquiry Added
BY BETTY MILES
star staff writer

District officials will move
tomorrow toward a team ap-
proach in investigation of the
city's surplus food program.
Two separate investigations
are in progress now and the
police will look into selected
cases.
In all, four District agencies
and the Agriculture Depart
ment are looking into alleged
abuses In the Welfare Depart
ment's surplus food program.
Frank M. Hally, the city's
Internal Audit Officer, said his
men are working with Agricul-
ture Department investigators
in a complete audit and in
vestigation Of the surplus food
operation. Mr.. Hally said his
staff will include questions on
licensing in their quiz of en-
ployes and recipients that could
be useful in the second investi-
cation. that Of possible licens-
ing violations by drivers deli
vering surplus food.
Questions Prepared
The questions will be pre-
pared by c. T. Nottingham, the
city's top licensing officer, Mr..
Hally said.
Mr.. Nottingham. who is su-
perintendent Of licenses and
inspections for the District, said
he will cooperate as far as
possible in co-ordinating the
two Investigations, but at the
same time will conduct his own
inquiry among the drivers and
wherever else is necessary.
His office will determine II
drivers. or "hustlers." as they
are called, deliver food for a
fee. and thus are subject to
license and regulation.
He conducted a similar In
vestigation last March and
ruled at that time that there
was no evidence that fees we're
being charged.

tions in the city would depend
upon the response of develop
ers and upon their ability 10
assemble small tracts into
large ones for new con-
struction. ~
Some of the rezonings would
place property in "non-con-
forming" status, which pre-
vents owners from making ma
jor notifications or renova-
tions of buildings and from re-
placing them when they are
obsolete.
Some are going TO increase
property values. Some are going
to make people unhappy be-
cause they will feel their prop
erty has a higher value in its
present use," Mr.. Kenny said.
Owners Advised
The city last week advised
about $50 owners Of the pros
pective rezonings. In addition
to these, many owners Of ad-
joining property and residents
Of neighborhoods involved
would be affected.
The Planning Commission
could begin consideration Of
the changes Tuesday night, but
because Of a large agenda
probably will not be able to
start until Wednesday night.
It's recommendations will be
received February 10 by the
City Council. which has the
power to enact them.

The Districts Armory Board
has decided it needs more
members to help it operate the
city's $40 million stadium.
In its annual report on the
stadium, sent to Capitol Hill
last week, the board has backed
legislation enlarging its size
from three to five members.
But the board side-stepped
taking a stand on whether the
stadium. which has proved a
financial milestone for the
District. should be transferred
TO the Federal Government.
1t merely pointed out that
certain members of Congress"
have recommended the take
over by a Federal agency
probably the Interior Depart
ment.
Seek Broader Board
A bill to expand the Armory
Board was reintroduced this
session by Representative Aber-
nathy, Democrat Of Mississippi.
1t would add to the board citi-
zens picked from specified
business and professional fields.
Some top officials, including
District Commissioner Walter
N. Tobriner, believe that the
boards duties have become too
big and complicated since the

Alexandria this week will
consider altering the character
and appearance Of many seq
ments of the city by massive
rezonings affecting hundreds
of property owners.
Planners have proposed
changes in the uses of some
l.l00 separate parcels Of land.
Rezonings of this magnitude
have not taken place in the
city in nearly decade.
Downtown Alexandria would
receive the greatest impact
from those now recommended.
They would permit construc-
ton of high-rise apartments
on about 20 blocks in the CEN
ter Of the city. Replacement Of
small businesses with modern
office buildings along the
main thoroughfare, Washing
ton street, would be encourag-
ed. Efforts would be made to
attract speciality shops to some
nearby areas now zoned for
light industry.
Harmony Sought
Changes contemplated In
outlying sections generally are
intended to make numerous in
dividual parcels harmonic
with present uses Of surround
ing property.
Planning director Francis
Kenny states that the sug-
gested rezonings represent the
initial attempt to put into ef-
feet parts Of the overall land
use pain adopted last summer.
Their general design is To
lay the groundwork for growth
envisaged by the land-use map
and TO prescribe a pattern
which will encourage private
entrepreneurs to come in and
begin development according To
It," he says.
"A specific purpose is TO up
grade and revitalize downtown
according TO a pattern In
which each use supports and
compliments the other"

Water Softeners
Now Commonly Used

Next to the very air we breathe,
water is mankind S most important
substance. 1t covers three-fourths
of the earth's surface. 1t COM
prises two-thirds of the human
body.
Yet, most people know little or
nothing about water and rarely
think consciously of it . unless
they are faced with problem.
AS someone once said, and not
altogether with tongue in cheek,
"Water is highly recommendation
rowing on, swimming in, and wash
ing with. Water is favored by fish,
rubber boots and parched tongues.
1t comes in endless varieties:
cloudy, colored, tasteless, turbid,
acid, alkaline, brackish, branch,
hard, smooth, hot, cold, standing,
and running. 1t makes ice, rust,
and a need for dams, boats and
bridges. All of it has one thing
in common--it needs to be con-
ditioned."
Actually, water hardness is
nothing more than dissolved rock.
But this dissolved rock is present
in every water use in the home.
1t wastes soap, and forms soap
scum that gets into the fibres of
clothes, and coats the skin during
washing and bathing. 1t can cause
skin irritations and infections, and
it shortens the life of all washable
fabrics. Soap scum is recognized
as the familiar ring around the
bathtub. Thus economically, soft
water really doesn't cost--it
saves, and the savings generally
are greater than the cost. For
example, according to some rec
ognized authorities, hard water
Navajo times., 1963-10-24

can cost the average family we'll
over 500 a year. An automatic
water softening appliance retails
from $500 to $4OO We therefore
know that the appliance can ac-
tually more than pay for itself.
While many consumers are in
-terested in dollar savings, we find
that savings is not the primary
sales appeal. Consumers like soft
water because it's nice to use. 1t
is pleasure to have thr roughout
the home. Homemakers particu-
larly enjoy the luxury of filtered
soft water as an aid in personal
grooming.
There are two methods of sof-
tening water which are now widely
used. Homemakers can have
fully automatic applicance type
model, or purchase "soft water"
on service basis with the portable
exchange softeners. Either is
available at a monthly cost of
$3.50 to $6. so per month. In
tensified advertising campaigns
in recent years have made people
far more aware of the benefits of
having commercially softened
water.

ulation as possible. Depending upon
the district boundaries it is pos
sible that Navajo Indians may be
elected from two distric icts in Nc
Kinley County and at least one
in San Juan County.
Chairman Nakai pointed out that
it would be a significant advance
in State-Indian relations for the
large Indian population of the State
to have a direct voice in the Le-
giSlative halls.
Navajo times., 1963-10-24

Nakai said GAS the Indian citi-
zens assume a greater roll in
the community political and econo-
mic life. it is vitality important
that their views be accurately
reflected in the Legislature
through representatives of their
own choosing. We hope that the
Legislature will utilize the utmost
fairness and candor as they ap-
proach this most difficult task of
reapportionment"
