Fairfax League
Defends County
Manager Plan
Women Voters Favor
At-Luree Election
Of Supervisors
By jones BirchfieId

The Fairfax County League oi
Women Voters and members of q
special Government study COM
mission were in disagreement to-
day over certain phases of county
government reform.
Mrs. Edward Macy. league pres
ident, said that while the league
is encouraged by the unanimous
opinion of the commission that
there should be change in the
Government. there were some
things in the report with which
the league could not agree.
Mrs. Macy said the league
could not accept the commission S
claim that the county executive
form would be better than the
county manager plan of govern
ment in Fairfax because, she said
the executive form is based on
minority representation.
League Backs Urban Voters.
The commission report pub
lished Sunday, contended that it
is IAN over simplification" to say
that areas with larger population
should have greater vote. Mrs.
Macy said the idea of disfran-
chiSing voters in the urban areas
is not merely over simple but pre-
posterous.
She pointed out that SO per cent
of the people in Fairfax County
live in the urban area. She said
the county manager FORM. which
allows the Board of Supervisors to
be elected at large, makes one
persons vote as good as the next.
Members of the study commits
sion, however, pointed out that
Fairfax is not q homogeneous
county-that it is county of var
led interests. They said election
of supervisors at large might leave
minority groups without a voice
in Government.
1t Is entirely possible, the report
said. that a member of the Board
of Supervisors could be elected
without the support of neighbors
who know him. This would not
be possible, they said, under the
executive form of government, be-
cause each supervisor is elected by
the voters Of his district.
Criticizes Executive Form.
The league also said the execu-
tive form is less effective in its
method of designating powers to
the county administrator.
Under the county executive
form. the league said, the Board
Of Supervisors controls appoint
ments of county personnel.
Under a county manager, how
ever. the board would be free Of
pressure of office seekers and
would not be forced to discuss the
relative merits of various appli-
cants." Mrs. Macy said.
"A manager responsible for
proper administration of all
county affairs should have COM
plete authority over department
heads" the league said.
Should they be appointed by
the supervisors. they may feel
that one or more of the super
visors is their particular patron,
and so go over the head of the
manager for some decision"

Of starched white pique for approx
imately 81, and she can achieve a
new effect for every day of the

For instance, Susie can wear the
dirndl skirt and cardigan with her
own strand of pearls or a colorful
pin. Another day, she can wear
the same sweater and skirt and add
the white pique collar, or she can
loop the plaid tie around her neck
and tie it in a dashing bow!
The parts can also come together
to assemble a costume for parties
or the movies. The sweater worm

comes a jacket, dainty jewelry is
added and an artificial flower is
caught through her velvet belt
and wrist-length white gloves.
With these ideas as a starter,
both Susie and Mother can plan

changes which leave pennies in the

AS the term progresses and the

lashes Administration
In Trade Board Talk

Criticism of the administration
and a plea for conservative"
government were voiced last night
by former United States Senator
Albert w. Hawkes. of New Jersey.
He spoke at a membership
meeting of the Washington Board
Of Trade in the Mayf1ower Hotel.
Declaring that it will take more
"than one election" to save the
United States from socialism or
something else," Mr.. Hawkes. con-
tended the defeat of Senator Tyd-
ings of Maryland in the last
election resulted from his con-
duct of the hearings on Commu-
nists in the State Department.
He also listed two other points
that brought Republican, successes,
in his opinion. One, he said, was
"the bungling of the Far Eastern
situation, which resulted in the
Korean war" The other, he
said, was the fine, intelligent,
honest, courageous American fight"
waged by Senator Taft, Republi-
can, of Ohio.
Took Issue to People.
"He took the question of equity
between labor and capital straight
to the people and never lodged
an ISSUE" Mr.. Hawkes. declared.
Mr.. Hawkes. added that busi-
nessmen feel this election twas a
signal from the people to the
President d. and to those who
claim to be advocates of the Fair
Deal, that they want the deal for
the people to be fair in fact and
not simply fair deal in name for
political purposes"
