Congregations Plans Rites
For September Holy Days

Both of Phoenix Jewish con-
gregations were completing plans
this week for the high holy day
services of Rosh Hashonah and
Yom Kippur in September.
The reform group, Temple Beth
Israel, will be denied the services
of its rabbi, A. l.. Krohn. He has
been seriously i'll with heart all
ment. Temple leaders decided not
to bring in an outside rabbi for
the holidays but rather to conduct
services themselves, in honor of
Rabbi Krohn. They said they be-
lieve it would "please him as we'll
as the congregants."
For the conservative and ortho-
dox group, Congregation Beth Ell,
the holidays will mark a mile
stone. Services will be held for
the first time in Beth El's new
synagogue at 3rd Ave. and Nc
Dowell, which is now nearing COM
pletion.

county land.
The Board of Supervisors yes
terday on motion of Maurice Fox
instructed Attorney Robert j.
McCandlish and Commonwealth
Attorney Hugh B. Marsh to file
an appeal with the Virginia Su-
preme Court.
A decree was entered in Fairfax
Circuit Court Tuesday awarding
Alexandria the land at cost Of
approximately $50O,OOO. The de-
cree states that the annexation
shall become effective January /,
but Mr.. McCandlish said yesterday
the county's decision to appeal will
postpone any land transfer.
379-Acre Tract Rezoned.
The supervisors rezoned a 379-
acre tract south of Lee boulevard
near Holmes Run to suburban
residence to allow construction Of
1,100 single-family homes. The
land formerly was zoned rural
residence. but the Jonathan Wood
ner Co. asked the suburban classi-
f1cation because it permitted
smaller lot sizes. There was no
opposition to the rezoning.
Herbert Schumann, County
planning director, was instructed
to prepare Sn amendment to the
zoning ordinance to permit erec-
tion of sewage disposal plants in
any zone. At present only the
county has the right to operate
such a facility in ali zones, while
private of town-operated plants
must be on industrial property.
County officials said they felt resi-
dents would offer less objection to
disposal plants if property did not
have to be rezoned to industrial.
Walter Grain, chairman of the
former Fairfax County Govern
ment Study Commission, told the
supervisors he indorsed "in prin-
ciple" the idea of making a survey
preparatory to establishment Of
the county executive type of gov
ernment in Fairfax.

The executive system recently
was approved in a referendum
and is scheduled to begin oper-
ating in January, 1852. David

The idea, of course. was to have
the great law-givers of history
portrayed in low relief heads. The
selections were made by Mr.. Sulli-
van and John Harbeson, a consult
ing architect from Philadelphia,
after recommendations were re-
ceived from outstanding lawyers
and judges, historians and educa-
tors and the University of Penn

Society of Washington.
1t was decided to limit the
choice to makers of law, rather
than judges or writer's on the law,
and to those who Influenced the
American legal system.
The law-givers selected were:

There was no direct answer to
Mrs. Bottoms barb that the
rosettes in the House ceiling can
be found duplicated in almost
any motion picture house" Emer-
gency lights, powered by bat
teries. are housed in the rosettes,
which are of classical design.
But during the interviews with
Mr.. Lynn and Mr.. Sullivan. these
things were made clear:
/. Three architects, the House
and Senate special committees
and the Fine Arts Commission
approved the redecoration plans.
2. House members had two
weeks in which to study the plans
and make known any objections
before the project got underway.
(Mrs. Bolton was one Of the few
members who looked over the
plans and appeared before the
House group.
3. The main object OF the re-
furnishing was to make the
chambers more comfortable and
healthful places in which to work.
Thus, the practical matters of
acoustics and air-con-
ditioning had prime Importance.

inner ceiling. They were even
less enthusiastic about having
them in color.
Despite this, the seals are up
today because the special five
man House committee on the re-
decoration project wanted them.
They were the bosses.
It might be pointed out, too,
that the colors on the new seals
were carefully copied from the
originals.
Another of Mrs. Bottoms asser-
tions was that the sound-absorb-
ing holes in the ceiling are lost
under eight coats of paint"
Mr.. Sullivan declared that the
stainless steel ceiling could be
painted forever without harming
the acoustical material (fiber
glass;, because the steel can't alb
sorb the paint.

ton concerned the removal" of
the Brumidi fresco of the Corn
wallis surrender to Washington,
which adorned the west wall of
the House chamber. Actually, the
mural still is there-walled over.
