Bills Blocking Annexations

City Manager Carl Budwesky will
represent Alexandria at a hearing
on the McCandlish and Massenburg
annexation bills Tuesday before the
Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions of the Virginia House of Dele
gates in Richmond.
The bills, which are similar, are
designed to prevent any annexa-
tions during the war and to make
such action more difficult after the
war by requiring the consent of 81
per cent of the voters in the terri
tory to be annexed. The McCand-
llsh bill also provides that the con-
sent Of the voters in the city seek
Ing the annexation must be given.
Alexandria is interested in defeat
ing the bills since future annexation
OF portions of Fairfax County long
has been urged by the Chamber of
Commerce. A survey is under way
to determine the size of the area
that should be annexed.
Considerable further study was
suggested by the council in reply to
the chambers request for immediate
action, but if passage of either of
the two bills seems likely, it is be-
lleved the city will hasten action in
ming an annexation suit

Bill 10 Give Arlington
Own Circuit Court
Going 10 Assembly
Senator Medley Says
Measure Will Create
Two Bench Vacancies

Senator William D. Medley OF
Arlington said last night that he
will introduce a bill in the Virginia
Senate this week creating a separate
circuit court for Arlington County
The bill, which was requested by
the Arlington County Bar Associa-
ton and Endorsed by the County
Board. would add one to the State S
"a judicial circuits, making Airing
ton the 35th circuit. The county
at present is part of the 10th circuit
with Fairfax and Prince William
Counties and the city of Alexandria.
Senator Medley said enactment of
the bill by the General Assembly
would create two vacancies among
circuit court judges to be filled by
the Legislature. He said Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy of the 10th cir
cult would be temporarily unseated,
since he would no longer be resi-
dent Of that circuit after Arlington
is separated.
Reappointment Assured.
Judge Mccarthy has been Endorsed
by the Arlington Bar Association,
however. and there would be no
doubt of his reappointment as Judge
of the circuit.
Two candidates have been men,
toned for the judgeship of the
18th circuit. Paul E. Brown, Fair
fax County commemorative attor-
ney, and T. E. Didlake, Prince Will
liam County attorney. are both re-
ceiving support among attorneys in
Alexandria and Fairfax and Prince
William Counties.
Mr.. Brown, according to his sup
porters, has been Endorsed for the
post by the majority of the men,
bers of the bar associations in Alex
andria and the two counties. Mr..
Didlake also has the support of some
bar association members, it was
said.
Opposition is Expected.
while opposition to the bill is ex-
pected in the light of former rec
concentrations by the State Supreme
Court that the number OF judicial
circuits be reduced rather than in
creased, leaders in the General As
sembly last week indicated that the
measure has fair chance of. pass
ing.
1t was pointed out that the in
creases in litigation In Arlington
County has made a separate circuit
court necessity, and that this sit
uation is known by the General As
sembly as well as by the Supreme
Court.
Senator Medley said members of
the General Assembly from North
ern Virginia outlined the proposed
bill to justices of the Supreme Court
at conference last week.
