COUNTY TAXES
IN FAIRFAX TO
RISE LITTLE

FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE, Va,
Feb. 20.-Fairfax county taxpay.
erS are faced with an increase Of
approximately only l cent per
500 valuation in the levy for the
general county fund, unless
changes are made in the tentative
county budget submitted to the
county board of supervisors by H.
M. Loughborough, county purchaS
ing agent. :,
The board last night ordered
the budget, which totals $83, 600,
published. Public meetings 10
consider any changes will be held
April /, at which time the board
will approve the budget for the
next fiscal year.
Debt Expenditure
An increase of approximately
$4,000 has been made in the
budget for next year to 1nclude
expenditures for debts .accumu-
lated by the board over the last
two years, Mr.. Loughborougn
pointed out.
Slight changes in the road debt
levy will affect only two dis
trictS, Mr.. Loughborough said.
The levy will be increased 2
cents in Providence district and
decreased the same amount IN
Mount Vernon district.
However, the proposed county
school budget indicates that the
school tax rate for next year will
be SIPS, the maximum allowed
by the State law, as compared
with $1.15 for the present budget.
School Budget Higher
Totalling approximately $685.
900, the tentative school budget,
which the board of supervisors
also ordered published, is $4,000
above the figure last year. The
increase will result from higher
instruction costs, bus tranSporta-
ton, tuition to Fall Church and
increased debt payments and
maintenance costs.
According to plans of the school
board, $4,000 received from in
surance on the old Potter'S Hill
School, destroyed by fire two
years ago, will be used to help fl
nance erection of the proposed
Woodlawn School.

BOUNDARY REPORT
TO Be DEFENDED
Virginians Will Reply to At
tacks on Glow Water
Mark" Proposal.

Virginia will put up vigorous de-
tense Of the "low water mark" bound
airy proposed by the D. C.-Virginia
boundary Commission at meeting Of
the House Judiciary Committee next
Tuesday.
Attorney General Staples and
Representative Smith, Democrat, OF
Virginia, will lead the forces from the
Old Dominion in replying to Federal
attacks made on the commission ana
its findings at a hearing last Thurs
day.
The United States Government OPP
poses the suggested low water mark
boundary on grounds that it is con-
trary to two decisions Of the United
States Supreme Court and would
seriously impair park and boulevard
developments now being made by the
Federal Government on the Virginia
shore.
The Judiciary Committee has be-
fore it the report of the commission
and a bill introduced by Representa-
tive Smith for ratification Of the
recommendation of the commission.

OPERA MUSICIANS
COME TO REHEARSE
"Lakme" Walkouts Stick to Let
ter of Hansen and Gretel"
Contract,

Forty-five musicians whose walk
out disrupted the National Opera As
sociation's production Of "Lakme"
Tuesday night reported for rehearsal"
at Constitution Hall this morning, al
though they were not to be used in
this afternoons scheduled presenta-
ton of "Hansel and Gretel."
Union leaders said the musicians
reported in fulfillment of the contract
they had signed with Edouard Albion,
president and general director Of the
association.
They refused to play for "Lakme"
and said they will refuse to play for
"Hansel and Gretel" this afternoon
unless paid in advance the amount
called for under the contract.
Mr.. and Mrs. Albion, however, plan
to stage the matinee with only piano
accompaniment. A cast assembled by
the National Music League arrived
from New York this morning, along
with several truck loads of scenery.
Spokesman for the union musicians
asserted the Albions left Washington
several years ago owing musicians and
stage hands more than $1,000 and
that the contract obtained by the mu-
sicians for the two performances here
calls for cash In advance.
The musicians waited for several
hours In Constitution Hall this morn
ing, but no representative Of the opera
association told them to rehearse. II
was said they hoped by fulfilling the
letter Of the contract to strengthen
their claim against the association.

HIGH LAND COSTS
HIT AT CONFERENCE
St. Louis Editor Declares
Situation Makes Stun
Clearance Impossible.

Campaign to explode the great
American delusion of wealth through
land speculation" as necessary pre-
Jude to launching Nationwide slum
clearance and low-cost housing pro-
gram was urged today at round table
discussion of the Third Washington
Housing Conference at the Willard
Hotel.
Decrying the high cost of land which
often makes low price developments i'm
possible, Irving Brant. editor of the st.
Louis Star-Times, told the group;
THE city mechanic or clerk thinks
that if he can buy and pay for a
vacant lot. it will open the way to
riches. All this is a bitter delusion
and it fixes train of thought in the
American mind which immeasurably
heightens the difficulties of slum
clearance"
Brant's plea followed demand made
last night by Senator Wagner, Demo-
crat, of New York that the Federal
Government back gigantic low-cost
housing movement in unique oppor-
tunity" for combating unemployment
and providing decent homes for the
half of the population he estimated was
"inadequately sheltered"
Continued Federal subsidization of
low-cost housing developments, adj
ministered today through the Housing
Division of the P. w. A. and the Fed
eral Housing Administration, was ad-
vocated by Col. Horatio Hackett, as
sistant p. w. A. administrator, who
joined with Wagner in recommending
decentralization of the housing devel-
opment.
With Chairman Norton Of the
House District Committee, group Of
the delegates to the conference, which
opened with q banquet last night and
closes tomorrow, will tour Washington
alleys to observe Capital slum- clear
ance efforts.
Poverty and unemployment will re-
treat before an adequate housing pro-
gram, Wagner said, and added:
1.-THE slum is primarily by-product
of poverty. The attack on poverty
must be an attack on unemployment. u
High cost of land-purchase financ-
ing was pictured by Hackett as pre-
venting all but few of the 1900, 900
ia lilies in need of public housing as
si..a from enjoying low-rent hous-
ing when it is provided by private
agencies.

CAPT. THOMPSON
CHOICE TO HEAD
DETECTIVE BUREAU
Commissioners Ask Special
Examination by Civil
Service Board.
THOUGHT WELL FITTED
FOR BURKE VACANCY
es Years in Department Gives As
sistant Chief of Detectives
Ideal Background.

Capt. Bernard w. Thompson, now
assistant chief of detectives, Is the
choice of the Commissioners as sue
cessor to Inspector Frank s. w. Burke
Of the Detective Bureau.
This was revealed ofl1cially. bear
ing out earlier indications, when the
Commissioners announced late yes
terday they had requested the Civil
Service Commission to grant q spe-
cial, non competitive examination for
Capt. Thompson. which would enable
them to give him the promotion.
II the special examination is granted,
Thompson must pass the hurdle OF
the tests, but police officials are sat-
isfied he would do this with flying
colors. One high District official said
frankly he did not know what the
Commissioners would do If the Civil
Service Commission found reason to
deny the special examination. but
hastened to add special tests for spe-
cial posts are not at all unusual.
Holds Captaincy Rank.
Capt. Thompson now holds the rank
OF captain only because of his as
signment as assistant chief of detec.
tives. The proposed test would be for
promotion to captain. That being
cleared up, he then would be promoted
to inspector in charge Of the Detective
Bureau. and that post carries with
It the rank Of assistant superintendent
~ v,e1foo x,,;<b an oaditioro1 eSnn ",
pay over that for inspector.
Inspector Edward j. Kelly. recently
elevated from the rank of captain.
who also had been mentioned for the
Detective Bureau post. told the Com
missioners yesterday he was not a
candidate. Kelly for years was the
ace investigator of the bureau.
Capt. Thompson has been in the
department % years and has been as
signed to the Detective Bureau most
Of that time. He started his police
career as a private at the third pre-
cinct. and while there was made q
precinct detective. While a member
OF the headquarters detective force
he spent much Of his time assigned to
the bad check and fraud squad.
Found Incapacitated.
Inspector Burke appeared Thursday
before the Police and Fire Retirement
and Relief Board after the Board OF
Police and Fire Surgeons had found
he was physically incapacitated for
further service. He was found 10 be
suffering from bronchial and heart
ailments. Burke submitted an ap-
plication for retirement a week ago
He decided on that move rather than
to apply for an extended leave Of
absence to seek improved health.
Lieut.. Ira Keck, formerly q member
Of the detective force and now police
aide to Commissioner HAGEN, is q
strong contender for the post of as
sistant chief Of detectives. The name
Of Lieut.. John Fowler also has been
suggested.
