Increase in the number Of Airing
ton voting precincts from II to "a
has been recommended to Circuit
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy by the
court-appointed Redistricting Com
mission, it was disclosed yesterday.
The commission, composed oi
State Senator Charles r. Fenwick
chairman; William G.. Watt and
Ralph M. Kimble, in its original re-
port last January recommended an
increase at that time to Is precincts
The commission was asked to re-
study the matter by Judge Mccarthy
after the November elections, when
80 hours were required to obtain
complete returns.
"While it is believed that the
boundaries as recommended in that
report (the earlier one) might ade-
ouately serve the county at the pres
ent time, it is felt that better solu-
ton would be Immediately to set ur
an ideal number of precincts, thus
obviating the necessity for further
subdivision for many years to come,
the commissions report said.
Away District Split.
Under the new report, Arlington
precinct, the county's largest, would
be dipided Into foH voting diatricts,
as Recommended fn the original re-
port. These would be named Airing
ton, Bancroft, Columbia and Fair
lington.
Ballston, the next largest precinct,
would be made into three precincts
Balston, Westover and Woodlawn
The report last year recommended
only two districts in the present
Ballston precinct.
Carne precinct would be divided
in two, with one section to be re-
named Walkers Chapel. Likewise
Cherrydale and Clarendon No. l
precincts would be halved with
Thrifton precinct being added to the
former and Lee precinct to the lat
ter.
Clarendon No. 2 would be divided
into two voting districts which
would be named Lyon Village and
Courtland precincts. East Falls
Church would become East Falls
Church and Overlee Knolls pre-
cincts.
Other Divisions Proposed.
Division of the present Lyon Park
precinct would result in two dis
tricts, Lyon Park and Ashton
Heights. Rosslyn would become Ros-
slyn and Park Lane precincts and
Virginia Highlands would be split
into Virginia Highlands and Aurora
Hills.
The only voting precinct to re-
main substantially the same would
be Glen Carlyn, the county's small
est.
CAS- set forth in the original re-
port it is recommended that all
precinct lines be in the middle of
streets, streams and railroad right
of way" the commission report
stated.
Many of the present precinct
boundaries cut across the county, BIZ
secting dwellings.
The commission said 1t felt now is
an "opportune time" to set up a suf-
flcient number of precincts because
the poll books are to be purged
some time this year.
Judge Mccarthy took the report
under study

More Intelligent Use
|0f South S Resources
Needed , Farley Told
By james BirchfieId
Stor Stoff Coyrexpondent

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va, Jan
14.-There is no longer reason for
the South to remain the Nations
No. l underprivileged child.
This was brought out here yester-
day at the closing session of the
South-wide conference on conserva-
ton by Cecil F. De La Barre, chair
man of the Conservation Committee
of the Southern Association of Sci
ence and Industry. Nearly 800 sci
entists, educators and business
leaders attended the three-day
affair.
Mr.. De La Barre said the Souths
income may be raised through a
program for more effective and
intelligent use of the regions basic
resources.
Steps to Better Living.
Mr.. De La Barre listed four steps
that are necessary to achieve a
higher living standard in the South
First, he said, an inventory must
be taken of the South's resources
Then, procedures for their USE
must be. considered and those thai
are wasteful must be abandoned. A
sound resource-use program ntast b.
speeded through education, ant
finally, research toward the devel
opnnent of new resource manage
ment procedures must be devised.
He suggested that the committee
change its name from one on con.
servation to a resource-use group.
Meaning of Resource Use.
Conservation, to many people
means rationing," Mr.. De La Barre
said, while resource use means the
management of the resources that
we have. We are working toward a
more abundant use of our resources,
rather than toward rationing the
resources now at hand"
Earlier, DR.. j. G. Harrar, field di-
rector of agriculture for the Rookie
feller Foundation, said Mexico is
making progress toward the solu-
ton of it's fundamental agricultural
problems under the leadership of
President Aleman.
Reporting on Southern soils, Ted
C. Maurer, consulting agronomist
at Whiting Field, Fla, said all
Southern farmers should be urged
to grow protective cover crops on all
land.
Mr.. De La Barre said the next
South-wide conference will be held
next year, probably in New Orleans.

panies would not also soon enter the field, to the detriment of the Ameri- can Merchant Marine.
 Freight Rates High
 3. Existing freight rates are too high.
 T believe that the Maritime Com mission should make very careful investigation of the capital structure of various shipping companies oper- ating under the interim law" Jack sen contended. Particular attention should be given to what appears to be an unusually large amount of op- erating capital.
 Study also should be made of the operating efficiency of the compan- ies in the Alaska trade. am of the opinion that substantial saving can be made by modernization of loading and unloading facilities. With reduction of operating costs and 6 careful determination of the capital structure for rate-making purposes, I am sure there is ample room for reduction of rates"
 4. Every effort should be made to encourage the barge type of opera tion in view of the record made to date, where freight rates nave been reduced 35 percent.
 5. There is not sufficient compet- ition in the Alaska trade.
 In the event the interim law is extended, the Maritime Commission should call for bids making it pos si-le for all operators to be given a fair chance to submit their pro- posals.
 Finances Involved
 "The possibility of entering the Alassa trade should be thrown wide open to get the best possible offers and proposals, but, it is of utmost importance that the Maritime Com mission. see that people who make bids are Financially responsible" :" Jackson said.
 NO aid should be rendered those not willing to invest sufficient money to make their proposals sound ones, and to insure that enterprises, once begun, will last long enough to reap all of the benefits accruing from a government subsidy. No considera- ton should be given to operators who could abandon services at will. or when it no longer was to their advantage"
 6. Merit, not grandfather rights, should be the basis for granting as sistance.
 Jackson said he was not interested in keeping in business some inef- ficient operator merely for the sake of preserving that operators husi- ness.
 Neither Alaska nor Seattle can afford shipping inefficiency" the Congressman declared. "The stake for both is too large. Seattle needs
