Charter Board Asks
Views on Council

Montgomery County residents to-
day were asked by the County Char
ter Board if members of the County
Council should be elected on a nom
partisan ballot?"
The question was asked in con-
nection with the proposed new
charter for the county authorized
at the November elections. Voters
were asked to write or telephone to
any member of the charter board
giving their views on partisan or
non-partisan election Of the county
council.
Members include Norman B.
Ames, George Rust Candy, Howard
P. Bailey, William C. Hanson and
James j. Hayden.
The 1914 charter made provision
for the election of members of the
council on ballot without party
label. There was considerable de-
bate about this provision and the
present charter board wants an
expression from the voters on the
issue.
The question is one of series
covering the proposed charters pro-
visions being asked each week.

Studies Arguments
On Rezoning Petition

arguments in a petition to
rezone to commercial use land

Mrs. David S. Clark, 5543 Wessling

Mrs. Florence McAllister, 20, whose
battered body was found Tuesday
In the family home at Burtonsville,

search for two men in connection
with the Staying.
Wanted are a 31-year-old Laurel
man, reported to have threatened
Mrs. McAllister's life, and a Ten
nessee resident, also 81.
Police said the two were reported
to have been seen in a small Ten
nessee town, driving Mrs. McAllis-
ter's blue 1941 Ford coupe. They
added that the car, listed in the
name of Mrs. McAllister's husband,
Edgar McAllister, might bear either
Maryland or Tennessee tags.
Believed to Have Jewelry.
According to Detective Frank
Lane of the Montgomery police
force, the men are believed to have
in their possession jewelry taken
from Mrs. McAllister at the time
OF the Staying. :,
The jewelry was described as a
woman's yellow-gold wrist watch
with gold band; diamond engage
ment ring and yellow-gold wedding
ring, and a yellow-gold bracelet
and necklace.
The Laurel man, 1t. Lane said, Is
former co-worker of the slain

In addition, squad cars patrolled
roads in the vicinity in an attempt
to find the car and learn whether
the occupants had any connection
with the Staying. Both efforts were
unsuccessful, however, and police
expressed the opinion the report
was a false alarm"

Fairfax Board 10 Act
Dec. 80 on Requests
For 7 Housing Units

Final decision on the two appli-
cations for multiple housing projects
on the Greer and Westcott tracts
will be made by the Fairfax County
Board of zoning Appeals at its
meeting on December 80.
Chairman S. Cooper Dawson said
at yesterdays special meeting, called
to hear various officials, that the
commemorative attorney ruled no
vote could be taken since it was
not an advertised meeting.
G. Hubbard Massey, consulting
engineer for the county, estimated
that at cost of about $11, 900, the
pumping facilities for the Holmes
Run sewer line could be expanded
to serve more than 10000 people.
This would be enough, he said, to
take care of the project on the
Greer tract on Lee boulevard at
Seven Corners. The Westcott tract
project on Annandale road is sit
uated on the sewer line.
Suggests Borrowing Water.
Mr.. Massey suggested that If
Arlington would spare the water to
Fairfax County temporarily, these
developments could go on until Fair
fax County gets its own water sys-
tenn. He explained he was not in
position to say what action the
Board of Supervisors would take on
his recent water system proposals,
but if they were approved, Fair
fax County could have its own
water within three years.
Supt of Schools w. T. Woodson
pointed out school facilities in the
area already are overcrowded. He
did not know when additional
schools could be built to take care
of population attracted by the two
projects, each of which would need
another school, he said. He urged
the board not to forget the prob
lem of raising the money to main
tain the schools.
James U. Kincheloe, commission
er of revenue, said there would be
a greater tax yield per acre from a
housing project than from
single family homes.
Promoter Denies Threat.
Harold A. Nesbitt, representing
Kings Kitchen, Inc, which pro-
poses to develop the Greer tract,
told the board that if I'VE can't put
in a well-planned development the
only alternative is cheap G. l..
homes" In reply to a question
from John w. Brookfield, a board
he denied he meants this
IS a threat to the board.
Donald wilkins, president of the
Fairfax County Federation of Citi-
zens Associations, presented a sur
vey Of Ave different areas near Falls
Church, one of which includes the
only multiple housing project in the
area. He said all the developments
Of single family houses paid their
