Today
Due on Fairfax
Annexation Suif.
Details of Alexandria
Settlement to Be
Worked Out Later

A final decision in Alexandria
annexation suit against Fairfax
County was to be announced this
afternoon. Details of the settle
ment will be worked out after the
decision.
A three-judge court already has
indicated that the city will be
awarded the rs square miles it
seeks. The decision is expected to
determine the amount of bonded
Indebtedness the city must as
sumo. Yesterday, Alexandria and
Fairfax county attorneys proposed
formulas for a financial settle
ment.
Horace Edwards. counsel for
the city, agreed that Alexandria
should assume a portion of So
million school debt. He added
that the city should not be re-
quired to assume responsibility for
any part of a sos million school
construction bond issue approved
last May. The bonds have not
been sold. .t
Says No Debt Exists.
Nor. said Mr.. Edwards, should
the city be required to help pay
of a $3.50 900 bond issue for an
addition to Fairfax courthouse.
No debt exists, the attorney con-
tended, because no construction
contract has been awarded.
John Alexander. attorney for
the county school board, told the
court that if Mr.. Edwards views
were upheld it would be almost
impossible for any Virginia county
adjoining a city to sell bonds"
Robert J. McCandlish. counsel
for the county. presented a plan
for settlement of the So million
bonded Indebtedness of Sanitary
District No. l. Almost all of the
annexable territory is in the
district.
Mr.. McCandlish said the city
should contribute. throughout the
life of the bonds. a proportion
ate share of taxes and service
charges which the county would
receive if there were no annexa-'
tion. Mr.. Edwards had suggested
that the city agree to pay share
of any deficit the county might
incur in meeting bond issue
payments.
| Commends School Board.
Mr.. Edwards accused the county
of selling the entire sanitary dis
trict sewer bond issue earlier this
year Ito get a SO million talking
point in the annexation suit" He
commended the school board fol
its decision to sell the $10.2 mil
lion school bond issue in block!
Of approximately SO million.
Sale of the entire sewer bono
issue at one time. the attorney
said, twill cost the county S75,00(
: before the money can be used"
The city and county disagreed
on when annexation should be
| effective. Alexandria suggested
January l and Fairfax July /.
Hearing the case are Judges
Paul z. Brown of Fairfax, Walter
T. Mccarthy of Arlington, and
JEFF Walter of Accomac.
If the city is awarded all the
land it seeks, Alexandria's 62,-
600 population will be increased
approximately 1000. The ter
ritory lies to the west of the city,
most of it between Little River
turnpike and Leesburg pike. It
includes the 2.100-unit Shirley
Duke apartment project and q
section of Shirley Highway.

Garry Davis May Get
u. 5. Naturalization
By the Asseeleted Prssa

Gareth Garry Davis today ap-
peared likely to get back the
American citizenship he re-
nounced two years ago to become
a self lf-styled Citizen of the
World"
Attorney General McGrath said
yesterday he sees no reason to
Eoppose Mr. Davis, desire to become
Ia United States citizen again but
that the former bomber pilot. now
20. will have to go through the
naturalization process.
This case should be an object
lesson to others who might lightly
value the great privileges of
American citizenship" Mr.. Nc
Grath said in a statement.
Since this sacred right had
been held in jeopardy. I hope that
this example of repentance will
give cause for reflection to others
who might be considering such a
STEP"
Because of his recent marriage
to Audrey Peters, a Hollywood
dance instructor, Mr.. Davis prob
ably can regain his citizenship in
March, 1852. Naturalization
normally takes five years, but it
may be cut to two in the case of
an alien who has lived here for
two years and has been married
to an American for one year OF
that time.
