By james BirchfieId

The Federation of Fairfax
County Citizens Associations last
night charged a recent Govern
ment Study Commission with
''misstatement of law and fact
in its report favoring the county
executive form of government.
In a statement answering por-
tions of the commissions report
which was published last Sunday,
the citizens group said 1t regretted
that the commission did not pre-
sent the executive form as it
actually is provided by law. since
this form does represent real i'm
provement in government.
j The commission report does not
pretend to offer a solution for
the one element in the present
form of government that is most
htolerable to those who want good
government. the group said.
This, they continued. is the fact
that the county's affairs are now
controlled by less than IT per cent
of the county's electorate. It was
charged that this fact itself was
omitted from the report.
