Suit 10 Block Fairfax
Building Bonds Sale
Thrown Out of Court

A suit seeking to block sale of
Fthe Fairfax County school and
courthouse construction bond is
sues has been virtually thrown out
of court.
Attorneys for the two county
Landowners who brought the &C
ton, however, indicated they
would appeal despite a $4,000
bond required OF them in case the
county suffers any financial loss
because the bond sales are de-
layed.
The suit, in effect. was dis
missed yesterday in Fairfax Cir
cult Court when the compliments
unsuccessfully tried to amend the
original suit. Judge Arthur W..
Sinclair refused to allow an
amendment that would have
named the county School Board
and Board of Supervisors as de-
PENDANTS. Last week he ruled that
individual members Of the two
boards should not be named as
defendants. and the compliments
had sought to amend their suit
to meet this objection.
Contest Deadline Passed.
In denying the plea for an
amendment, Judge Sinclair said he
did not think the compliments
should be allowed to bring the
proper defendants before the
court since the deadline for con-
testing the bond issue referendum
has expired.
The judge also ruled that the
county treasurer, commissioner Of
revenue and cities of Alexandra
and Falls Church we're not proper
defendants in the suit.
Bond was required of the COM
claimants at the request of Com
monwealth's Attorney Hugh
Marsh and Attorney John Alex
ander for the School Board.
1.-THE county would suffer un-
told damages as a result of any
further delay of the bond sales,
said Mr.. Alexander. He explained
that as long as any litigation il
pending, the proper certificates
cannot be made out in connection
with the bond sales.
Fears Material Damage.
II don't think there is any
question that very grave damage
may result to the county because
of delay" Judge Sinclair said
He commented that Fairfax has
an "unquestioned" need of schools
and that tie-up of the bonds
would definitely postpone build
ing of them"
He set the bond at $4,000 and
ordered that it be posted within
81 days. Attorney Alfred J. Anton
for the compliments indicated he
would appeal the bond.
The suit was filed July Z by
Charles Edward Gardner, jr., and
Paul E. Rhinehart, jr. They claim
the referendum of May 81 in
which voters approved the two
bond issues should be declared il
legal because of annexation pro-
ceedings against the county by
Falls Church and Alexandria.

U. 5, Drive TO Expose
Red Sailing Pressed
By State Department
By John N. Hightower
Associated Press SfcH Writer

State Department officials held
high hopes today for success in
the American propaganda coun-
terofensive against Russia over
who started aggression in Korea.
The plan, sometimes referred
to around the department as "op-
Grafton flgleaf," is to expoSe-up
to a point-Russia's stalling tao
tics in the United Nations and its
support of the North Korean
Communists.
The idea is to tell all the facts
about Soviet conduct-broadcast
them over the Voice Of America,
illustrate them with movies sent
abroad, and the like-but to do
this strictly as a propaganda cam
paign and not to make formal
charges which might force an
open break.
u. S. Counts on Peace.
officials said present American
policy calls for continuing diplo-
matte relations with Moscow and
for taking no steps to force the
Russians out of the United Ma
tons. This Government still
counts on eventual peace in Ko-
rea to improve rather than dim
the prospects for world accord.
The latest propaganda blast was
loosed yesterday by Secretary OF
State Acheson. He made three
charges against Russia and its
delegate in the U. N. Security
Council, Jakob Malik.
Mr.. Acheson made these charges
/. That the Russians desire a
Korean settlement which would be
"abject submission to Communist
control"
2. That Russian tactics in the
Security Council are designed ito
thwart the U. N. effort to restore
peace and security" in Korea.
3. That Mr.. Malik has disre-
garded "the duties of his Office"
as Council president.
President Truman on Thursday
had accused Mr.. Malik of fill

Mr.. AcheSon, at his news con-
ference, also urged Congress to ap-
prove an $50 million fund for a
campaign of truth" against So
Wet propaganda.
He got some support from Sen

California, who told a reporter he
will support an increase in funds

Foreign Correspondent Of The Sfar end
the Chieoao Daily News


PARIS, Aug. 12-It is now re-
garded as certain that the Schu-
man Plan for pooling Western
European coal and steel produc-
ton will become a reality by the
end of the year.
Experts from France, Italy,
Germany, the Netherlands, Bel
GUM and Luxembourg have COM
pleted the preliminary blueprint
of the plan and in the process
have completely lifted the face
of the original project proposed
by French Foreign Minister Rob-
ert Schuman on May 8.
The plan as it now stands pro-
vides that the pool should be
administered by a combination Of
four different bodies instead of
a single independent high au-
thority" as originally proposed.
A high authority would run the
technical part of the pool and
would have a fair degree of in
dependence. But it would be
f1anked by a new special assem-
bly, composed of deputies from
participating countries to which
it would report once a year and
which would have the power to
force it's resignation. Its decisions
would also be subject to repeal
to a special court of arbitration
which would receive complaints
from both individuals and gov
ernmentS.
Finally it is now proposed, fol-
lowing pressure from the Benelux
countries, that there should be
a special council of ministers.
composed of finance or economic
ministers from participating coun-
tries. to handle wider political
issues" and to act as link with
the high authority. ~
Establishment of this elaborate
machinery is expected to satisfy
what are regarded as legitimate
complaints without destroying the
outstanding political idea of the
original Schuman Plan which
was to set up a first "superna-
tional authority" in Western Eu-
rope.
1t will not satisfy the British
who have refused to participate
in the plan because they felt a
high authority would interfere
with their national economic
planning as well as disrupt their
special marketing relations with
the commonwealth.
1t is believed at the same time
that the British will be compelled
| to associate themselves closely
with the Schuman Plan pool due
to the fact that the rearmament
drive will require close co-ordina-
ton of the steel production of all
Atlantic Pact countries.
It is also doubtful whether the
new plan will satisfy the French
steel cartel which has been bit
terly opposed to the Schuman
Plan from the beginning. The
French government appears to
feel that it can whip the cartel
into line anyway.
Many important details of the
plan still have to be worked out,
the most important being the re-
lationship between the Council of
Ministers and the high authority.
