AY the A,.aeiated Pres,

RICHMOND, Va. Aug. IT,
Gov. Battle said yesterday Virginia
will not seek exemption from mill
tary service at this time for any
State employe except present
members of the State police.
A resolution recommending such
a policy was adopted unanimously
during two-hour meeting of the
Virginia Civilian Defense Council
The governor said he concurred in
the action of the council. which is
composed Of State departments
heads
Virginia Critical Area"
Gov. Battle pointed out Virginia
is in a Critical Area" in event of
an atomic attack because of its
proximity to Washington and the
naval base at Norfolk.
I'VE feel that certainly for the
present, the members of the State
police force, as presently consti-
tuted, can render much more val
liable service to the State and
to the Nation in their present
positions than they could as men,
bers of the armed ser?ices," the
Governor said.
In case the National Guard is
called up. he explained, time would
be required to organize and train
personnel to take its place. In
the meantime. he empha lied,
"our highly trained police force
would be absolutely necessary to
prevent subversive activities and
sabotage. :"
Observer Posts Established.
Gov. Battle also received a re-
port from j. H. Wyse, State di-
rector of civilian defense, that
1873 of 157 projected ground OBJ
server posts for an aircraft warn
ing system have been established.
Mr.. Wyse declared volunteers
are needed to man observation
posts scattered over the eastern
part of the State and to assist
in filter center work in Richmond.
His report also said that so far,
personnel has been appointed to
head civilian defense in 18 of 27
cities. five of 100 counties and one
town.

There are those who feel that
it would be better if public in

If the foundations experience

One of the difficult jobs OF the

to stem the epidemic. There are
no known measures of control.
Responsible officials get tired of

Fairfax Board
HearsFoes Of
Disposal Plant
Belle View Resident
Ask Ban on Project;
Action Is Deferred

Arguments against constructing
q sewage disposal plant on tract
of the Belle View apartments were
being weighed today by the Fair
fax County Board of Supervisors.
Opposition to the 15-acre site,
In a residential area south of Alex
andria, came from one of the
boards own members. Arthur
Shaffer. at yesterdays supervisors
meeting. Citizens of the area are
opposing the disposal plant which
is to be financed from bond issue
recently authorized in a referen-
dunn.
Mr.. Shaffer told his colleagues
he believes there are more suitable
places where the plant could be
erected. Or, he said Fairfax could
combine with the city of Alex
andria in building a plant on an
other site.
ITO go in with Alexandria would
be the cheaper thing to do" Mr..
Shaffer declared.
The supervisor said that if Fair
fax builds its own plant, ground
could be obtained across Hunt
ing creek from the Alexandria
city dump. Alexandria proposes
to build its plant at the dump.
On motion of Supervisor c. B.
Runyon. the board instructed R.
M. Loughborough, executive Sec
retary, to instruct Commemorative
Attorney Hugh B. Marsh to COM
plete a draft of a proposed build
ing code and present it at the
September 6 meeting.
Mr.. Runyon complained that the
building code and proposed police
manual had been hanging fire"
for too long.
Every day we are hiring more
employees at bigger and better
salaries and getting nothing done"
Mr.. Runyon charged.
The police manual. it was
brought out, is in the hands Of
Chief Carl Mcintosh. Mr.. Lough-
borough was instructed to deter
mine the status of the book.

Larger Police Force,
Pay Raises Asked
In Prince Georges

Proposals to increase the Prince
Georges County police force from
Al to So members and to provide
overall pay increases for the en-
tire department were beine
studied today by the board o1
commissioners.
The recommendations, includ-
ing one to hire five additional
desk clerks. were submitted yes
terday by a three-man commit
tee, headed by Police Supt. Ralph
w. Brown.
The committee estimated the
recommendations would cost $65.-
600 additional for the first year
and about $4,000 annually there
after. The committee added il
hoped the proposals could be
placed in effect "by October l."
The commissioners authorized
Mrs. Betty Tayman. secretary to
the Police Board, to prepare
examination papers for new
policemen.
Patrol Work Limited.
The committee said it's study
disclosed that the county's limited
force spends most of it's time an
swering citizens calls and has
little opportunity for routine
patrol work.
The committee added that "in
today's manpower market the
present salary scale is not attrac-
tive enough to assure that quail
fed and capable men can be OBJ
tanned and retained"
Recommended Salaries.
Recommended salaries include
$4,000 to $4,000 for the superin-
tendent, compared to the present
$500; $4,000 to $4,4O0 for lieu
tenants. compared to 1880;
So, 500 to $500 for sergeants, COM
pared to $3.13O, and $3,1OO to
$3,400 for corporals, compared to
$3.50. Privates would receive
81, 700 to $4,000 annually, with
flrst-year men probationary get
ting $2,400. The present rate pro-
vides for $2,189 for probationary
men and from $2.380 to $2,67O for
regular privates. Desk clerks would
get $2,400.
The II new members would in
clude one filling a vacancy and a
woman to serve in the detective
bureau for the first time.
Another recommendation in
cludes promotion of the six de-
tectives to the rank of sergeant
and transfer and promotion of one
uniformed corporal into the bu-
reau.
The commissioners said the age
limit of 81 to 35 should be main
tanned for new members of the
force.
