zoning Permit
For Prisoner
Camp Upheld
Foirfox Supervisors
Delay Action on
Cemetery Cose

The legality of a permit granted
by E. Russell White, Fairfax County
coming administrator, for establish
nient and operation of prisoner of
war camp was upheld yesterday by
unanimous vote of the County Board
Of Supervisors.
The board was called on to de-
eide whether Mr.. White had ex-
ceeded his authority, under the
county's zoning ordinance, in issuing
the permit to the Fairfax Agricul-
tural and Cooperative Association.
An appeal had been taken by Mrs
Ethel M. Dennis and others who
objected to the camps location.
Mrs. Dennis had originally gone
TO the Board of zoning Appeals,
which upheld Mr.. Whites decision
by three -to-two vote. Carl Speiss,
one of those opposing the camp,
contended that the zoning admin
istrator had no legal authority to
issue the permit and that the ap-
plcation Should have been made to
the Board of Zoning Appeals and
public hearing held. ....
Three Sites Offered.
County Agent Lawrence S. Greene
said that out of three sites selected
by the cooperative, the Army had
decided on the site which met with
the objections. 1t is located at the
old State convict camp on Lee high
way, west OF Fairfax.
Mr.. Green stated that $50 German
war prisoners will be housed in the
camp and will be used to work on
local farms. He said the men in
the camp will be kept under armed
guard, but will be allowed to work
in small groups on farms without
guards. Only the larger groups will
have guards assigned them.
Mr. Greene also said that requests
from local farmers for the prisoners
has exceeded the number available.
He said there already are more than
$50 requests on file in his Office. The
camp will be operated by the Army
and the men will be placed on farms
under the supervision of Capt. Jo-
seph Bennett, cooperative place
ment official. Prisoners will be kept
At the camp for six months.
Cemetery Appeal Held.
The board deferred action on the
appeal of Stewart Petit and others
asking that the board rescind cem-
etery permit granted by the Board
of Zoning Appeals to w. M. Orr un-
til members could inspect the pro-
posed site near Penn Daw, Mount
Vernon district.
The petitioners were represented
by State Senator Andrew W. Clarke,
who pointed out that the cemetery
would tend to lower property values
In adjacent areas, which are zoned
as residential. He said there is no
real need for a cemetery in this
area. The board will inspect the site
June 20.
On recommendation OF County |
Electrical Inspector Franklin P. Sa-
gendorf, the board appointed four
members to the County Electrical
Board of Examiners for a period of
five years. In addition to Mr.. Sa-
gendorf the men are JEFF o. Hicks,
C. B. Shreve, Thomas E. McDon-
ough and Marcel c. Pfalzgraf.

Sergt. Mckee, who has a son on .
B-29, has been the Police Depart
ment's bomb expert since the start
of the war, and has taken special
Army courses at both Edgewood Ar
senal and Aberdeen, Md.
He is not too fond of his present
job, and would like nothing better
than to see an end to this souvenir
business. But he's not ruling out the
possibility that his own son may
come home with a similar token OF
war.
GIs are like that.

Mrs. Goss Shifted
Despite Pruise of
Work by OPAAides

"a NASCa AL VAC PdcG lOI llCI. WUEk
rs chairman Of the price panel of
the Arlington County Ration Board,
has been ordered transferred from
the post she has filled since the
board was organized, and has re-
signed as q result, it was learned
today.
Mrs. Goss was informed OF her
transfer to the information depart
ment Of the board by John E. De
Lashmutt, board chairman, who said
the transfer had been requested by
Ralph E. Hendricks, board super
visor for the Roanoke district, ONCE
OF Price Administration. He said
that If the transfer does not meet
with your satisfaction, every effort
will be made to place you in any
department, other than price, that
you may desire"
In requesting Mrs. Goss' transfer
1t was revealed, Mr.. Hendricks said
the price records were 80 poorly
kept" that an inspector recently cut
short a survey of the boards rec
ords.
Price Panel Praised.
Mr.. Hendricks added that Mrs.
Goss has apparently endeavored to
do a good job, but for some reason
or other has never been able prop
erly to handle the record keeping
phase OF the operation" Mr.. Hem
bricks refused to elaborate on his
letter.
This charge followed only by a
few weeks a communication to all
boards in the Roanoke district from
Charles P. Anson, district price exec
utive, in which he specifically refer
red to the Arlington boards price
panel as worthy of emulation by
other boards.
In November, 1943, Mr.. Anson
wrote: Il do not hesitate to advise
you that the price control program
in Arlington Is one Of the best In the
Nation" At that time he sought
her services to set up price programs
similar to Arlington's in other coun-
ties.
Last November, William ]. Har-
mon, jr, Of the Roanoke price Office
wrote that "the initiative displayed
by the Arlington panel obviously
makes your program that much more
effective and we should like to have
the fever spread to our other
boards"
"No Politics"
Mr.. De Lashmutt told The Star
today that, as far as he knew, there
was absolutely no politics" involved
in Mrs. Goss' transfer, and that the
move did not originate in the
49,.
In her letter of resignation, Mrs.
Goss pointed out that during the
board survey she WAS approached
only twice for factual information
concerning her panel, and that In
the majority Of cases this material
was sought from the panels clerk,
who had been employed there less
than q week.
Members of the Arlington County
price panel were unanimous in their
praise of Mrs. Goss' work.
Arthur T. Keene, an official of
the State Cleaners Association and
q member OF the boards Executive
Committee. said: I'm my estimation,
any difficulties in the price division
have resulted from insufficient help
and not from ineffciency. - I
am positive her going will be great
loss in these final and crucial stages
of price control"
Statements praising her work also
were made by Colin r. Hamilton,
j. v. Turner, Paul D. Brown, Albert
E. Cohen, Ray Sawyer. Homer Baus-
erman, Sam Edlow, Earle Young
and Ray Miller, all members Of the
