Court Rejects
Area
SanitdryPIan
Allows Petitioners
Time to Agree on
Smaller District

Paul E. Brown, Fairfax County
Circuit Court judge, last night
turned down petition for creation
OF sanitary district No. 3 to serve
4,480 acres In the McLean-Langley-
Chesterbrook Woods area because he
felt too much territory was included.
Judge Brown told petitioners for
and against the district he would
leave entry of the final order open
to give both sides the opportunity to
agree on a smaller sanitary district.
He said the testimony showed sone
sanitary arrangement is needed for
Mclean itself.
The all-day hearing was high
lighted. by the testimony of Rich
mond bond underwater who said
his firm would not bid on bonds for
the district because it believes the
Washington area population will
shrink after the fall elections.
Terms Plan Fantastic"
Walter j. Craigie of the firm Of
F. w. Craigie & Co.. Richmond bond
underwriters, was put on the stand
by opponents Of the proposed SAN
itary district. He said the proposed
district was fantastic" from q
financial standpoint and declared
his firm wouldn't bid on bonds for
the district. He asserted that the
district was planned to meet an
anticipated development instead OF
existing conditions.
The sanitary district plan as OUT
lined by G. Hubbard Massey, consult
ing engineer, however, would be
financed by $1.700,000 general
obligation bond issue. He said
anticipated growth would produce
SUFFICIENT revenue to wipe out the
bonded Indebtedness in from 80 to
40 years.
Tell of Sewage Problem.
Residents from the Mclean area
testified that raw sewage was seeping
into the streets and running in
streams throughout the area Testi-
mony also was given that the sani-
tary district would make adequate
fire protection possible for the en-
tire area.
Opponents claimed the project
was too costly and was not needed
in most of the area. One resident
Of Mclean protested that the sani-
tary district would encourage "con-
gested" buildings in Fairfax Pro-
ponents of the district had stressed
that development of the county
would be encouraged by creation
OF the district.

Administration Reshoping
Tuck Election Proposals

RICHMOND. Mar. R.-Ad-
ministration leaders today continued
reshaping the Tuck bill designed to
bar President Truman's name from
the presidential ballot.
Gov. Tuck let 1t be known that,
despite the revisions, he remained
firmly behind the basic intention
OF the plan: To give Virginia votes
more power in the national party's
councils and to slow down the
Presidents civil rights program.
The work was being done in secret
and speculation over the probable
result still overshadowed other
action by the Virginia General
Assembly-even House passage OF
the budget.
Meanwhile. a group Of Radford
citizens came forward with organ
lied public opposition to Gov. Tuck's
proposal and an Arlington Demo-
cratic delegation announced 1t will
protest the plan at public hearing
in Richmond at pm. tomorrow.
Approximately 100 to $50 pdfsons
at Radford last night drafted reso-
lutions carrying a demand" that
the proposed changes be withdrawn
or defeated" The resolutions were
addressed to "the Governor and
members Of the General Assembly OF
Virginia"
Will Attend Hearings.
Among the Arlington Democrats
who will attend the hearings are
James D. Franklin, member Of the
County Democratic Executive Com
mittee; Albert A. Carretta, a candi-
date for the House of Delegates in
the 1947. Democratic primary, and
Harold Schilz.
House Floor Leader Z. Blackburn
Moore of Berryville, declared the
bills amendments would be made
public ahead Of the public hearings
Of the bill.
Reports persisted that the amend
ments would find a way for the
nominee of the national Democratic
Party, even If he is President Tru-
man, to have his electors on the Vir-
ginia ballot.
: The plan most discussed would
provide two sets of Democratic
electors-one to support the NOM
inee of the national party and one
to follow the instructions of q Vir-
ginia State Democratic Party con-
vention.

tuberculosis Service
AtGaIIinger Operating
New Unit at Capacity

The Tuberculosis Service at Gal
hnger Hospital, which recently
opened 50 beds that had been
closed since 1945, Is now operating
at full capacity, Dr.. Sol Tatz,
chief of the servics reported yester-
day.
The medical stan of four physi-
clans assigned to the service Is ade-
quate, DR.. Katz said, but 1t is handi-
capped by q need for . full-time
dietitian. attendants, orderlies and
aides. The 10 nurses now on duty,
he said. ARE valiantly attempting
to carry the increased load" caused
by the opening Of the additional
beds.
Because Of its limited budget vir-
tually all the streptomycin now be-
ing used has been made available
through the research grants of
Georgetown and George Washing
ton medical schools, which use Gal
linger for teaching purposes.
With the recent addition of full
time occupational therapist. Mrs.
George c. Weld, of Madison, Wis,
the patients will be assisted in
learning new skills or in developing
old ones.
Mrs. Weld will work at the pa
tients' bedside to teach weaving.
leatherworking and the making of
small jewelry. For ambulatory pa
tients the workshop will be avail
able.
1t Is anticipated that within the
next few weeks social worker sery-
ices will be added to counsel and aid
the patients and their families dur
ing the period OF disqualification.
Patients have their own radios and
recently teleyision set was donated
for their entertainment.
'The confirmed diagnosis of tu-
berculosis in q patient and the
prospect of long disqualification
create many problems for the pa
tient and the patients family" DR..
Katz said. "The scope of activities
Of tuberculosis patients may neces-
sitate an entire change ip their way
Of life. A man who has done heavy
manual work for living will have
to make q radical change in his
way Of life. II
THE problem facing the patient,
then, is, to overcome the worry and
concern Incident to d complete vo-
cational rehabilitation. The i'm
portant question of how to make
living when released from the hos
pital creates untold problems for
the patient. It is also the primary
cause of many patients leaving the
hospital prior to discharge by ply
sieians."

When Gas Raiioning Comes,
Here's How To Save Fuel

DETROIT.-With the anticipated
gasoline shortage. particularly in
the Midwest. the engineering division
of the chrysler corporation has con-
Quoted tests to demonstrate how
gasoline savings up to 70 per cent
can be achieved.
w. B. Rice, director of service,
reported that the secret of the saw
ings lay in:
l. Proper tune-up Of the car, in
cluding ignition. carburetion, cooling
system, oil change and chassis lu-
brication, and steering and brake ad-
justments.
2. Employment of proper driving
techniques in handling foot throttle
and brakes.
Tests showed that the first 10 per
cent Of savings were achieved by a
tune-up of the car, Rice reported.
Moderate acceleration and brak-
ing showed 60 per cent greater
mileage over the quick stop and
start artists" he added.
One test over a 10-mile course in
heavy traffic in Detroit showed that
the moderate starting and stopping
driver made so per cent fewer stops
and averaged only 2 per cent slower
speed.
