Mrs. Stone, Mag ruder
To Run in Arlington
Mrs. Kathryn H. Stone, the
only woman member of the
Virginia House of Delegates,
today announced her candidacy
for re-election, subject to the
Democratic primary in Arling
ton on July 12.
Arlington’s senior House mem
ber. J. Maynard Magruder, for
mally announced at the same
time that he was running for the
office of treasurer instead of
seeking re-election as a delegate.
In the last General Assembly,
Mrs. Stone, with other delegates
from nearby Virginia, supported
the “Young Turks” who retrieved
more than $2 million from
scheduled tax rebates for
schools, hospitals and other
needs.
Also in the Democratic con
test for Arlington’s two House
seats are C. Harrison Mann, in
cumbent; Homer G. Bauserman,
former sheriff: William L.
Winston, attorney, and Alvin F.
Kimel, member of the Arlington
County Board.
Mr. Magruder has represented
Arlington in the General As
sembly for the past 12 years. It
was disclosed in The Star last
month that he would seek the
Democratic nomination for
county treasurer this year, but
Hoover Group Proposes
Lawyers' Career Service
By the Associated Press
The Hoover Commission, pro
posing that the Government get
rid of its system of "push-but
ton” lawyers, has recommended
a career service for 6,600 Federal
attorneys.
Too often, the Commission
on Government Reorganization
said, the Government attorney is
‘Called upon to submit opinions
sustaining a position previously
Stermined by a non-lawyer su
rior. Hence the term ‘push
button’ lawyer.”
| The commission headed by
former President Herbert Hoover
put 52 recommendations into a
report to Congress last night on
Government legal services and
procedures. They appeared to
add up to the idea that Federal
regulatory agencies ought to be
curbed a bit to “give the public
greater protection against abuses
of power and arbitrary bureau
cratic action.”
List of Proposals
Some of the other major rec
ommendations:
1. Creation of a new United
States administrative court to
take over from Federal agencies
the final decisions on cases in
volving taxes, unfair labor ac
tivities, and unfair trade prac
tices and methods of competi
tion.
2. Steps to speed up decisions
by regulatory agencies, such as
the Federal" Communications
Commission and Civil Aeronaut
ics Board.
3. Separation of duties within
agencies so that the same people
do not investigate, prosecute and
judge cases.
4. A clampdown on press re
leases in which charges to be
filed by an agency against a
private citizen are accompanied
by unnecessary and damaging
comments on his reputation.
5. Establishing in the Justice
Department a new office to help
agencies make their rules and
regulations more uniform and
understandable, to handle com
plaints on legal procedures, and
to administer the proposed ca
reer service for all Government
attorneys except 3,100 in mili
tary uniform.
Some Fndinrs Disputed
The report is based on findings
of a task force of prominent
lawyers and judges headed by
James Marsh Douglas, chairman
of the board of Washington Uni
versity in St. Louis and former
Brain Tumor Finally Fatal
To Girl in Coma Since Feb. 3
The brain tumor that no one
knew Linda Carpenter had until
she tell from a sled last winter
claimed her life yesterday.
Six-year-old Linda died in
George Washington University
Hospital. With her when she
died were her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. John R. Carpenter, of 7209
Hawthorne street, Kent Village,
Md., who have kept a vigil at her
bedside ever since the illness was
discovered.
Linda had been in a coma
since February 3 when she fell
from a sled. At first it was
thought she might have frac
tured her skull in the sledding
accident. Examinations disclosed
that she had a brain tumor.
Three operations were per
formed, but the tumor could not
be removed successfully.
During Linda’s two-month ill
ness, the Carpenter’s Kent Vil
lage neighbors mobilized to help
the stricken girl’s family finan
cially. A benefit dance was
staged.
Mr. Carpenter is a driver for
the Capital Transit Co. The Car
penters have two older children,
Louis, IS, and Sandra, 11.

Mrs. Stene Mr. Nurvler
he made no formal announce
ment until today.
"Modern county government,
such as Arlington’s, is still
susceptible to limited refinement
by legislation,” said Mr. Magru
der. “But I believe that major
improvements in the future will
come by the exercise of new ad
ministrative techniques and the
use of the most modern business
: practice methods.
Mr. Magruder is past Demo
cratic chairman in Arlington
and has served on numerous
commissions and advisory groups.
He has lived in Arlington for 30
years. His home is at 4119 North
Twenty-third street.
> chief justice of the Missouri Su
preme Court.
Twenty of the 52 recommen
dations in the report, dealing
mainly with administrative pro
cedures, were turned over to
Congress with the approval of
only half of the 12-member com
mission. The other six, includ
ing Mr. Hoover and Attorney
General Brownell, questioned
their “possible consequences”
and “possible increase” In ex
penditures.
One member, Representative
Holifleld. Democrat, of Califor
nia, filed a long dissent to the
i report. He said It was too legal
\ istic, that it would “recast the
| administrative process in the
1 image of the courts,” and “vest
| in the office of Attorney General
! duties and prerogatives which I
consider unnecessary and un
wise.”
Changes Seen Costly
Individually, Mr. Holifield
said, some of the recommenda
tions have merit. But taken
together, he said, "they may
have consequences that are dras
tic and costly and impractical
from the standpoint of efficient
Government administration.”
The commission didn’t go as
far as its task force in urging
an investigation by Congress of
“delays in the final decision of
certain cases” before FCC and
CAB.
The report said the task force
found that at least five other
agencies apparently used “an
unreasonable amount of time” in
some of their proceedings. The
Indian Claims Commission was
criticized for “one of the worst
examples of delay” on five cases
held up more than three years.
One of the recommendations
for which only half the commis
sion voted was that “every
agency should proceed with rea
sonable dispatch to conclude any
matter presented to it” and that
courts should be authorized to
order agencies to "proceed to a
decision upon a showing of un
due delay.”
Only two recommendations in
cluded estimated savings if they
are carried out.
Trimming the 844-man legal
staff of the Veterans Adminis
tration was proposed at a saving
of $5 million of the $7 million
annual administrative cost. The
commission said that consolidat
ing three schools for training of
ficers on military justice into one
would save a million dollars a
year.

On Water Seen
A four-month ban on outdoor
use of water today was an
nounced for customers of the |
Annandale Water Co. in Fairfax'
County.
James A. McWhorter, man
ager and owner, said he ex
pected the ban to become effec
tive as soon as notices can be
mailed to the company’s 3,300
customers this week.
The State Corporation Com- j
mission authorized the ban.
Word of the water restrictions
came as residents of the area!
sought help from Gov. Stanley
to remedy recurring water short
ages.
A telegram was sen the Gov
ernor Saturday by the Colum
bia Pines Citizens Association
after about 50 homes in that
subdivision. Brayhill Park and
Holmes Run Acres were com
pletely without water for sev
eral hours.
Health Agency Queried
Dr. Harold Kennedy, Fairfax
health officer, meanwhile sum
moned help from the State 1
Health Department. He said a
sanitary engineer from Rich
mond was to make an inspec- !
tion of the Annandale situation i
today to see if some emergency
steps are necessary.
Mr. McWhorter said he had
hoped restrictions would not be
necessary until later this spring,
but early warm weather caused i
an unanticipated drain on the ’
water system with many residents
watering lawns.
Daily consumption increasedl
from 500.000 gallons a day to
1.5 million on Saturday, said Mr.
McWhorter.
Limited storage facilities
caused the shortage, the utility
manager said. A one-million
gallon storage tank now under
construction on Columbia pike
will remedy the situation, ac
cording to Mr. McWhorter, but
it won’t be ready for use until
mid-August. ,
Tank Work Delayed
Mr. McWhorter said protests
by the Columbia Pines Associa- 1
tion to a zoning change delayed 1
beginning of construction of the
new water tank.
The citizens association tele
gram said the tank could have
been completed within 70 days
after the dispute was settled j
February 1. The association!
asked for an investigation of the
company’s operation. It also re
quested a ban against the com- >
pany taking on more customers
until "satisfactory service” is
given present users.
