come a city of the first class call
for the acquisition of about half
as much Fairfax County land as
was sought in an earlier suit this
year.
This was disclosed yesterday at
a meeting of the County Board Of
Supervisors.
If the new move is successful.
Falls Church would add from
10000 to $4,000 population in an
nexing parts of the county to the
north and west of the city. The
city now is credited with 5000.
The previous annexation plan
was dropped three months ago
after residents of Fairfax Sani-
tary District No. / approved .
100000 bond issue.
Further Meeting Planned.
Four Falls Church councilmen
who presented the revised annexa-
ton program to the supervisors
yesterday were told that "the
board has no right to give away
county territory to anybody"
Board members agreed, however,
to a further meeting with the
councilmen to tour the new area
proposed to be taken in.
Councilman Sherman Wells.
spokesman for the delegation, said
he hoped the city and county could
|agree on reasonable" annexa-
tion proposal and he suggested
THAT a friendly" suit would be
thousands Of dollars cheaper than
a bitter court fight.
Mr.. Wells called for IAN end to
charges and countercharges" be-
tween the city and county.
Under the new proposal the
city no longer is seeking to annex
areas including the heavily popu-
lated subdivisions of Tyler Park.
Fenwick Park, jefferson Village
Apartments, fremont Gardens.
WfllStOn Apartments anu WeSt
Lawn.
Other Areas Included.
Also excluded from the pro-
posal are the subdivisions Of Ra-
venwood, Sleepy Hollow, Malbrook
and Lee Boulevard Heights.
To the west. however. the new
I r,!an calls for a boundary line
more than a mile west of Idylwood
road on Leesburg pike, nearly 2
miles from the present city limits.
The original line would have been
, just west Of Lemon road, less than
mile from the present boundary.
From the new boundary limit,
on Leesburg pike. the line now
proposed runs northeast for more
! than 2 miles then southeast to
, the Arlington County line. This
!, territory is relatively undeveloped.

Walton League Chiefs
lin Virginia Defend
State Game Agency
By The Assoeiofsd Press

H1CEMOND, w., Lee. o.
Izaak Walton League Of Virginia
officials have taken sharp issue
with Delegate Paul Crockett, of
Yorktown. who has attacked the
State Game Commission.
Mr.. Crockett said over the week
end that he would seek a cut in
license rates in the 1850 legisla-
ture. He was the patron of the
1e48 General Assembly bill that
raised the rates. But he says the
game commission has not made
good use Of the increased revenue.
Reynolds r. Harnsberger Of
Arlington. Izaak Walton League
president. said yesterday he felt
the commission "is doing a pretty
good job" He added he had heard
very little criticism from hunters
las to the current $3.50 license fee,
which became effective July of
|last year.
4 Sees Honest Effort
The league represents more
than $500 Virginia sportsmen.
81 believe the commission is
making an honest effort to use its
Increased funds effectively for
better game propagation and con-
|servation and for better enforce
|ment Of the game laws" Mr..
Harnsberger said. Costs Of opera
|tion now are higher than formerly.
he said. and the pressure on the
commission from sportsmen is
terrific"
Mr.. Harnsberger said he felt
the game problem in Virginia Is
"a $3.50 proposition between the
hunters and the game commission
which requires the cooperation
Of sportsmen in observing the laws
and keeping within the bag -'--.its."
Francis 10th of Waynesboro. q
past president of the league. said
he felt Delegate Crockett was not
giving the new license system a
fair trial. He said 1t would require
'four or five years" for the results
OF the game propagation program
undertaken with the increased
funds to show effects.
Quinn Refuses Comment.
Robert c. Lyme. president of the
Richmond chapter Of the league,
said he had not found sportsmen
unduly critical of the present
situation.
There has been q considerable
Improvement in law enforcement
and in conservation since the
higher fees went into, effect, In
my opinion" Mr.. Lyme said.
7. c. Quinn. executive director
of the game commission. refused
comment on Delegate Crockett's
charges. He said he might have
q statement later.
The current license fees. $3.50
for hunting and So for fishing,
superseded the old combination
hunting and fishing license which
cost sportsmen only So. Delegate
Crockett said that when he spon-
sored the change two years ago
he put the commission on notice
he would call it to an accounting
If he did not think results justi-
fed the higher rates.

ice Examiner Weighs
Arnold Bus Line Plea
For Fare Increase
MICHAEL, 8.

The request of the Washington,
Virginia and Maryland Coach Co.
for a 5-cent-a-zone increase was
in the hands of Examiner j. j.
Williams of the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
| He is expected to make a deci-
sion next month, following the
transcribing of the lengthy official
record of testimony in the case,
which began November % and
was resumed this week on Mon
day.
Hearings at which both pro-
ponents and opponents were
heard, closed late yesterday, after
the financial operation of the COM
pany, also known as the Arnold
Line, were explored. An official
of the line testified it now is los
ing $500 a day.
Irregularities Denied.
The company's general counsel,
Manuel j. Davis, denied there is
anything irregular in borrowing
$3.50 900 from the Employees Pen
sion Trust Fund and transferring
the money to the company. He
said this was done long after he
became majority stockholder. He
denied he used the money to pur-
chase control of the company.
Attorney S. Harrison Kahn, In
his closing argument, stressed the
urgent need for the fare increase.
He declared this is needed not
only to grant the arbitration
award increase for the company's
organized workers, but to pur-
chase new equipment and put on
needed supervisory personnel to
give the public safe, economical
and efficient service. - z.
Attorney Lester r. Conley, rep
resenting the Arlington County
Board, which is opposing the fare
increase, told Examiner Williams
a fare increase will not solve the
company's financial ills. He sug-
gested the commission itself con-
duct a rigorous examination Of
the plight of the company and
take whatever steps are necessary
to correct it. This might take
the form of reorganization or the
granting of the company's GER
tificate to operate to another
carrier.
Terminal Ownership.
Because of interference with his
law business Mr.. Davis declared
he divested himself of controlling
interest in the company. Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Arnold. through the
Joann Corp, which they own,
now own the company's terminal
at TOT North Randolph street, Ar
lington, the witness said. No deed
has been drafted at this time, but
he entered into a contract of sale
for the property, Mr.. Davis said,
November f.. 1947.
The Arnolds have not informed
him to whom they wish to trans
fer title to the property, and he
is the record titleholder Of the
property with his wife. Mr.. Davis
informed Examiner Williams, who
conducted the hearing.
Earlier yesterday Mr.. Conley
placed on the witness stand q
certified public accountant, Clar-
ence E. Kefauver. He testified
that, according to the company's
own figures, at the end Of 1850 1t
will have liabilities totalling $144,-
900. plus State and Federal taxes
and interest. This takes into
consideration 10 per cent loss
in passengers, If the fare increase
| Is granted.
| Virginia, through Gov. Tuck,
entered the case yesterday,
officially filing a petition to In
tervene. Virginia adopted the
testimony of the company's wit
nesses as its own. The State on
November 2 seized the company,
when it was threatened by g.
strike over inability to pay the
wage award.

tonsils were badly diseased and
should be taken out, because
they were dangerous to his
health and they would cause ad-

litis.
Mrs. Dolan told me that she
couldn't see "any good reason
for the operation now that Jimmy
again had recovered from mis-
tonsillitis and seemed perfectly
well. She had heard, she said,
that the tOnsils were a kind of
protection for the throat and
wondered if they sholdd be re-
moved. Besides, she added, she
would worry about so small a
boy as Jimmy going under an

stated that although normal
" the tonsils may serve as a
protection for the throat against
infection, when they become en-
larged and chronically infected
like Jimmy's they are just the
opposite. They then become re-

full germs and so can be the
source of the spread OF disease
and poison throughout the body.

assured Mrs. Dolan that the
of tonsils was a very
common and safe operation to-

Jimmy's should not be complete

AS l talked, l could see Mrs.
Dolan was gradually giving in.
Before she realized it, she was
