Fairfax Resident File.
Motion 10 0verru|e
Denial Of Rezoning

Fairfax County'S zoning ordinance
ran into further trouble yesterday
when the County Board of Super
visors was notified of an action
filed in the County Circuit Court
seeking to overrule the Boards de-
NAL of a rezoning application.
The motion was filed by Lonnie
MuterSbaugh, Franklin Park.
against the supervisors and E. r.
White, zoning administrator. 1t
requests the court to determine the
validity of a resolution adopted by
the board December 10, l945. in
which it rescinded its rezoning of
q lot at Franklin Park from subur-
ban residential to rural business.
The lot was rezoned November Z.
l945, on application of Catherine
Lockwood, owner of the tract at
that time. The rezoning was made
with the understanding that the
applicant also would request that
three adjoining lots be rezoned
from residential to business.
When the board held a public
hearing on the second application,
considerable opposition DEVELOPED
from Franklin Park residents. and
the application was denied.
BY a vote of 3 to 2, the board
then rescinded its previous action
and returned the one lot back to
residential use.
Mr.. Muterbauph's motion is cot
for a hearing in Circuit Court on
March 18. The motion claimed that
the boards action is arbitrary and
contrary to the zoning ordinance.
Five coming applications were
granted yesterday and action on
another deferred. Applications
granted were those of Jeremv r
Llpscomb, G. Raymond Gaines and
George w. Bauserman, all from resi-
GENITAL to rural business; George
A. Ford, from residential to gen
eral business, and James L. Brad
lord, from agricultural to indus
trial to establish a cinder block
plant. The application of Miss

deferred.

ton OF County Agent L. S. Greene

An REA spokesman told a re.
porter that Virginia borrowers hac
received REA loans of s4,l20OO(

fiscal year. This amount, together
with funds allotted but not ad.
vanced during the war years, viii
make it possible to increase by g
third the approximately 10000 rura.
consumers now served.
In addition. Virginia borrower.
have requested further line con.
struction loans of $4,000 ,OO0-ar
amount sufficient for lines to serve
approximately 5000 consumers
However, only a small amount o.
this requested total can be approved
from 1916 REA loan funds. OF thu
5000 ,000, 900 made available by Con.
gress to REA during the 1916 fisca
year, only s4,520,o00 can go to vir.
ginia.

rural electrical co-operatives.
REA estimates indicate that or
July /, 1945, there were 1l4,635 Vir-
ginia farms without electricity and
about $4,000 electrified. In 1895
there were only $4,000 farms with
electricity. The objective of the
postwar rural electrification pro-
gram in Virginia, REA said, is to
bring electric service to every rural
community in the State under the
REA policy of grouping thinly set
tied areas on lines with more closely
populated areas.
Virginia has been a pioneer in the
use of electricity. The first COM
pletely electrified farm in the United
States was owned by Jesse M.
Hughes, near Herndon, in Fairfax
County. Prior to 1896 six men were
needed to run the 212-acre farm.
Today Hughes operates 400 acres

Found in Sand al
Soldiers Home
Man, Missing Since
Feb. 5, Has Skull
Crushed by Brick

The body of a 61-year-old, one
armed resident of Soldiers Home
who recently was reprimanded by
authorities there for lending money
to fellow-inmates at 20 per cent
interest, was found partially cov-
cred by sand in wooded portion
OF the homes grounds yesterday
Homicide Squad detectives said the
mans skull apparently had been
crushed by paving block found
under the body.
The dead man, who had been
missing from his dormitory since
February S. was identified as Boss
F.. Williamson, a veteran of the
Cuban pacification campaign Just
after the Spanish-American War.
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
scheduled an inquest for tomorrow
while police studied evidence on
hand that:
Williamson had only $2.25 in sill
yer in his pockets, whereas Soldiers
Home authorities said he usually
carried considerable amount of
cash.
! Check Found on Body.
A blood-stained Belgian paving
brick was found beside the body.
Williamson's left hand-he lost
his right arm in a machine shop
accident some years ago-was in his
left-hand pocket, suggesting he was
either talking with some one he
knew or was surprised when the
fatal injury occurred.
The coroner was unable to say
how long the veteran had been dead,
but said the body was unusually
well preserved" DIR. Macdonald
said death was caused by a frac-
tured skull and cerebral hemor-
rhage.
Boy Makes Discovery.
A 14-year-old boy, Joseph M. Con-
Ion, 221 Douglas street NE, found
the body while playing in the sand
pile about 2:30 pm. yesterday. The
mans right hip was all that could
be seen from the sandy grave in
the woods near the east gate of the
home, Hardwood road and Michigan
avenue NE. After waiting an hour
because I didn't know what to do
the youth called the 18th precinct.
l.. A. Grub, Soldiers Home po-
liceman with the 18th precinct
officer, dug up and identified the
body. He said Williamson habitu-
! ally took long walks in secluded por-
tions of the reservation and was
known to carry pistol on his walks.
No pistol was found on or near
the body, but an empty whisky bot
tie was near the sandpile. William
sons wallet was missing, but police
said an expensive gold watch, bear
ing the initials ''F. A. M" was found
in his pocket.
Glasses Were Unbroken.
The first thing discovered by po-
lice was Wililamson's pair of gold
rim glasses. The spectacles were
unbroken. The paving brick was
found under his head.
Soldiers Home authorities said a
thorough search had been made for
the man after his disappearance
was noted from Sherman Hall, his
dormitory. Fellow residents told re-
Iporters they thought he had gone
"AWOL."
The sandpile where the body was
located, police said. was dredged
from the Mcmillan Reservoir a long
time before the man was reported
missing.
Williamson had been resident of
the home for eight years. A native
of Georgia, he had only one known
relative, sister, Mrs. Luke Mitchell
of Reynolds. Ga.
