Fairfax Asked
To Authorize
'SanitaryArea
Citizens Committee
Seeking to Establish
7-Squore-MiIe District

For the second time this year the
Board of Supervisors of Fairfax
County is being asked to authorize
preparation of a boundary map es-
tablishing the limits of a sanitary
district in the Mclean Chester
brook Franklin Park area of Fairfax
Country, Va, 1t was disclosed today
o. v. Carper of Mclean revealed
that group of citizens who have
been studying the problems of sani-
tation and water supply for several
months, have organized the Citizens
Committee for Sanitary District No
3 to make the results of their study
available to property owners. He
said petitions are being circulated
asking the supervisors to act.
In addition to Mr.. Carper, the
committee includes S. r. Pearson
j. H. Carper. James Byrnes, sr.:
Claude H. Smith, Thomas C. Bar
ringer, DR.. H. L. Brooks, A. H. Tut
hill, w. H. Laughlin. C. H. Laughlin
Earl D. Sanders, Warren Graves
and John r. McGuiness.
Turned Down by Judge.
Several months ago an attempt
was made by interests in the Nc
Lean area to form a sanitary dis
trict in the area between Fairfax,
Mclean and Falls Church, but
when opposition developed, Circuit
Judge Paul E. Brown refused to
create the sanitary district.
The new plan, which is on much
smaller scale, would comprise an
area of about seven square miles,
and include the communities of
Langley, Mclean, Lewinsville, Ell
Nido, Chesterbrook, Franklin Park
and Chesterbrook Woods A COM
plete water system is contemplated,
with about 26 miles of mains rang
ing in size from 4 to 16 inches.
There would be 70 fire hydrants.
The committee believes the in
stallation of the system would re-
suit in fire insurance rate reduction
of as much as so per cent. The
plan also contemplates a sewer sys-
tenn. including "a miles of trunk and
connecting lines and a complete
disposal plant on Pimmitt.
Massey Aids Investigation.
1t was pointed out that the pro-
posed sewer and water system would
cover much of the same area as
the town of Falls Church proposes
to serve If it's present plans for run
ming a 24-inch main from Falls
Church to Dalecarlia Reservoir are
completed.
Investigation of all phases of the
project has been made by the COM
mittee in cooperation with G. Hub
bard Massey, consulting engineer
of Fairfax.
The committee is having printed
for distribution to all citizens of the
area a booklet containing details
of the proposed system.
Proponents of the measure state
that there will be no front foot as
sessments, no hookup charges for
sewer, and no hookup charges for
water if those having private water
systems connect with the public sys-
tenn within five years of the date
the system begins operation. Prop
erty owners would have the option
of connecting with either Or both of
the systems

|CIarification Awaited
Prior 10 Action on
|Chest-CounciI Merqer

Action on the proposed merger o.

and the Council of Social Agencie.
may lag indefinitely, unless non.
Chest-supported agencies of tht
council get a clarification of theil
role in the new organization.
There are about so agencies in the
council which are not supported by
the Chest, but are privately sup.
ported or public, tax-financed ones
1t Is almost certain that the
merger plan, drawn by a joint COM
mittee appointed by the councils
board and the Chest Executive Com
mittee, will be revised before any
final action is taken.
Committees of the Chest and
council appointed to present recon-
mendations of member agencies on
the plan were scheduled to meet
Jointly today.
The committees were appointed at
recent meetings of the Chests Board
of Directors and the councils dele
gate body, at which questions from
the floor indicated there were mary
points remaining unsettled in the
minds of those who will be asked to
decide finally on the proposal.
Major Assurances Sought.
Some of the main assurances
being sought by social agency repre-
sentatives are that:
Recent criticism of the Chest will
not result in hasty new setuI
which might lose some of the values
already achieved by the council in
social planning.
Financial issues with which Chest
agencies must be concerned will not
overshadow the planning function
and that private agencies will not
run the risk of losing their identity
as being financially independent
from the Chest
Pressure by special interests will
not handicap the new organization
in taking stands on social planning
matters considered to be in the best
interests of the whole community.
The name chosen for the new
organization will make clear its
planning mission.
Provision be made for wide inte-
grafton in the organization of per-
sons concerned with operation of
the agencies with those not on
agency boards but who support the
welfare program.
Principle Finds Support.
Many of the agencies approve in
principle the proposal of combining
the functions of the Chest and
council under one organization but
are not ready to vote in favor of
the present plan.
Others have not taken the matter
up at their board meetings, feeling
they do not understand the issues
involved well enough to take stand.
Delegates from some of the agencies,
it appears, will go to the final vote
meeting uninstructed.
DR.. Ernest Griffith, former pres
ident of the council, said the agen-
cies have been informed that a
member of the Joint Committee will
appear at their board meetings to
explain the merger plan and answer
questions If they wish.
AS are several of the agencies, the
recreation division of the council
comprising % agencies and the Dis
trict Recreation Department, is
recommending a trial period for the
combined organization and a review
at the end of that time.
Frank r. Jelleff suggested at the
Chest Board Of Trustees meeting
that the new organization be an
interim body for the first year.

The executions, which, Rabbi
Miller, asserted, were directed
from London had two immediate
aims:
II. To invite retaliation from
the dissident groups in the Yishuv,
and cause turmoil in the country
during the special session of the
United Nations on Palestine be-
ginning April %.
"2. To engender sympathy for
the Irgun's methods among the
masses of Jews in Palestine; 70
cause large numbers of them and
a large segment of the Haganah
to break Zionist discipline and
join the Irgun in terrorist activi-
ties. That would give the British
the opportunity to brand the en-
tire Yishuv as nation of terror
lists.
"The object of the executions is
to invite the Jewish fighters in the
Haganah so that instead of devOt-
ing their time to protecting the
armada of Haganah ships now ap-
preaching the shores of Eretz Is
rael, they would come out in the
open in reckless military actions
against the British. The British
need such actions on the part of
the Haganah as their excuse be-
fore world public opinion to bomb
and smash the Haganah and with
it the Yishuv. Unless we can ex-
pose the British plan to the world,
and unless we can restrain our
selves from Obeying our first i'm
pulses and falling in with their
plan, the next step will be the
proclamation of a fuII-scaIe re-
belliOn in Palestine, followed by
the bombing of Jewish cities and
villages just as many of villages
on India's Northwest province
have been ObIiterated by r. A. F.
planes.
"Let us pray that this will not
come to pass. Israel is strong in
her patience and perseverance. The
new Caesar in Jerusalem will go
the way of all Caesars including
the destroyers of the Warsaw
Ghetto, but Israel will survive"

Warren R. Austin, American

now raised of performance or non
performance of the Mandate, the
cOntenders are not limited to the
Jews of the world against the

the treaty nations, of which the
United States is one.
Therefore," continued Austin,
1T is rational to expect that after
peace and order are restored in
Palestine (ed.: Austin refers to
Arab anti-Jewish riOts), the I'M

Miami Rules Out

Miami 50, Florida
History was made last week at
the regular meeting of the Miami
Beach City Council when a City
Ordinance was proposed to elm
mate the display of offensive
signs in and about public places.
The suggested Ordinance is de-
signed to outlaw those few re-
naming "Gentiles Only" signs
which have long been blight on
the good name of Miami Beach.
Some may claim that the Or
dinance endeavors to "tell hotel
men how to run their business"
No attempt at interference is
intended, nor does it exist. The
right for a hotel operator to Sc
lect and admit guests ON an in
dividual merit basis exists. None
can question that. What is ques-
toned is the categorical denial
of the facilities of an establish
ment, that holds itself out to the
public, to an entire group of A
merican citizens because of a diff
ference in religion.
Such a discriminatory policy is
contrary to our concept of the
way of life, as every |
right thinking American knows.

thor Laura Hobson forcefully and
dramatically describes the REBEL
