There we're some misgivings last
night among the guests with their
napkins tucked in their collars at
the dinner of Les Amis d'Escoffier
in the Hotel Shoreham.
The dinner is an annual effort
of one of the hotels to serve the
best possible feast in the tradition
of the late Auguste Escoffier, the
little Frenchman who became
known as the chef Of kings ano
the king Of chefs.
The critique is part of the
regimen of an Escoffier dinner. Sc
also is the napkin in the collar;
no salt or pepper on the tables, nc
water to drink or cigarettes OF
cigars to smoke during the meal.
What caused the misgivings wa.
the failure of anyone to find any
fault with anything. Could it be
that the taste of Washington
gourmets was falling off? In that
case could it be that the food was
not as good as it tasted.
Dziura's First.
It was Eddie Dziura's first
Escofher dinner. Eddie is the chef
Of the Shoreham, and he also was

Fairfax Residents File
Petition in Court 10
Redistrict County

An increase from six to nine In
the number of Fairfax County
magisterial districts is sought ir
a petition before the County Cir
cult Court.
The petition, signed by more
than the required so voters and
designed to provide more equitable
representation of county residents,
was presented to Judge Paul E.
Brown yesterday by David Law
renee.
MIR. Lawrence was vice chairman
of 21-member government study
commission which advocated a
change from the present supervisor
system to the executive plan. Such
a change was approved in ref
erendum two weeks ago.
In a statement accompanying
the petition, Mr.. Lawrence told
Judge Brown that before the ref
erendum. there was considerable
discussion in public meetings as
to the disproportionate number of
residents in our six magisterial
districts. it being emphasized that
approximately IS per cent of the
people now live in three of the
six districts"
1--WE who favored the county
executive FORM" he said, declared
from time to time our belief that
the separate provisions of the law
which permit redistricting should
be invoked promptly. and we are
today fulfilling the promise we
made to the voters during the re-
cent campaign that we would sup
port a move to redisrict Fairfax
County"
Mr.. Lawrence added that the
petitioners would submit argu-
ments in support of their request,
If desired by the court.
Since the county's present popu-
lation is about $4,000, Mr.. Law
renee suggested that each of the
nine proposed districts contain
approximately 11,000 residents.

North Virginia Sewage
Treatment in District
Disposal Plant Urged

Virginia State Senator Andrew
w. Clarke today urged. nearby
Virginia communities to study the
possibility of pumping sewage
across the Potomac River into the
District disposal plant for treat
ment.
Senator Clarke, who represents
Alexandria, Fairfax and Falls
Church in the State Legislature
said he hoped those communities
would join with Arlington County
in studying possible creation of a
Northern Virginia Water and
Sewer Authority.
While Arlington proposed the
new study primarily because OF
its interest in methods of financ-
ing sewage facilities. Senator
Clarke said the survey could look
into the plan he suggested.
"Owe 1t to Taxpayers"
II think the communities owe
it to the taxpayers to see if a
joint sewage disposal project
would be cheaper than the in
dividual plants they plan to
build" said Mr.. Clarke.
He added that it seemed OBJ
vious Alexandria, Arlington and
Fairfax should not need separate
plants when a much larger popu-
lation living in the District L
accommodated by one plant.
Fairfax County has approved
a bond issue for construction of q
separate disposal plant, anG
Arlington County has approved &
bond issue to enlarge it's present
plant. Virginia Attorney Genera.
j. Lindsay Almond has ruled that
under terms of the Fairfax refer.
endum the bond issue cannot be
used for joint proposition. The
same ruling might also apply ir
Arlington's case.
Gould Ask for Vote Again.
But if an investigation show.
a joint disposal system would bt
cheapest for the taxpayers,
said Senator Clarke, I'VE coult
ask the people to vote on the
matter again."
He said Arlington and Fairfax
voters by approving sewer bono
issues already had indicated theil
desire to clean up the Potomac
River, and he felt sure the same
voters would be glad to vote or
a joint proposition if it would be
cheaper.
Senator Clarke said he under
stood District officials already
have indicated that a contract
could be worked out for treating
sewage from Virginia. The Vir-
ginia communities likewise are
specifically allowed to enter into
such an arrangement under pro-
visions of the States Water and
Sewer Authority Act of 1850.
Senator Clarke said he hoped
the proposed committee also
would consider the possibility ol
building one disposal plant in
nearby Virginia If 1t imprac-
tical to pump sewage across the
river. .....
disposal facilities it already
owns, and because any regional
plan-either one big plant in
Northern Virginia or pumping to
the District plant-would make ii
necessary for Arlington to pipe Its
sewage at large expense to one
central location.

Hagerstown System Cited.
Hagerstown, Md, adopted a

in solving its traffic problems,
rather than construct costly over
passes and by-passes. E. Lester
Mobley. jr., president of the Re-

plan would hurt business, but add

ices Hearings
On Conlmuter
Fare Raise End
Fewer Than II Testify,
Examiner Will Make
Recommendation

An Interstate Commerce Com
mission hearing on requests for
increases in commuter fares in
the Washington Baltimore -Bruns-
wick area by the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore & Ohio Railroads ended
this afternoon.
Fewer than a dozen commuter
witnesses took the stand during
the hearing which opened yester-
day before Examiner Burton
Hawkins Fuller.
Mr.. Fuller. after receiving GER
tain statistical information from
the railroads, will make a rec
ommendation as to whether or
not the proposed increases should
be granted. The commission has
suspended the effective date of
the proposed new fares until next
April. They originally were to
nave gone into effect September
l5. The suspension was ordered
after commuters protested.
Good Service Preferred.
Several of the commuters testi-
f1ed they were not opposed to
fare increases if the railroads gave
good service. Some witnesses said
they spoke for many fellow COM
muterS.
According to witnesses for the
railroads the fare increase on the
B. & O. would average AL per
cent and on the Pennsylvania ap-
proximately Is per cent. The
railroads said they haul 2,10C
commuters daily.
Shortly before the hearing end
ed two witnesses expressed oppo-
sition to the proposed fare raises
Don Goodlow. a District school,
system employe who lives in
Jericho Park, near Bowie, Md.
testified he opposes the proposal
on the basis of service.
Train Total Cut.
| Mr.. Goodlow said although
fares have gone up, the number
OF trains stopping at Jericho Park
has been cut in half.
William H. Ruby of Baltimore
an employe of the Naval Gun
Factory. said he had been author
lied to speak by more than 500
commuters.
He based his objections to the
raise on the fact that he and
other commuters have not had
pay raises. He said under cross
examination, however. that he
feels "a little raise" in fares might
be justified.
He predicted that commuters
would join car pools rather than
ride the railroad if the fare in
creaseS are permitted.
Two other commuters earlier
told the. examiner that service
overshadows higher fares as fal
as they are concerned.
Commuters Statements Read.
Mr.. Irons read statements from
several fellow-commuters which
declared they would not MIND
higher rates If the service were
better.
The witness explained "in fair
ness" that he owns some stock in
the Pennsylvania.
On cross-examination by Attor-
ney Arthur G.. Lambert, who rep.
resents the several hundred COM
muters protesting the increase
Mr.. Irons asserted:
Il want dividends, and I'm moi
ashamed of it."
