committee Of the Virginia Advisory
Legislative Council had little to
work on today in its study Of a
possible change in dates for vir-
ginia's Democratic primary.

away with the primary altogether.
Expressing opposition to any
change in the holding OF the Dem
ocratic runoff were Richmond At
torney Martin A. Hutchinson and
Delegate Frank p. Moncure of
Stafford and Prince William Coun-
ties.
Mr.. Hutchinson, whose nomina-
tion by President Truman to the

be retained and that the primary

Work already has begun in as
sembly basic data concerning the
economy, population, income and
schools in the Northern Virginia
area according to Planning Com
mission Chairman Max x. Wehrly.
This data will be interpreted in
terms of economic factors and in
cluded in the overall report.
Mr.. Wehrly said that Arlington
does not have the industrial de-
velopment and basic employment
that usually are found in cities
this size and must therefore fully
develop its commercial potential.
Major undertaking of the re-
port will be a comparison between
the amount of revenue received BY
the county from various types Of
property claSsifications ttresiden-
tial, commercial. ildustrial), and
the amount of funds expended to
benefit the same land claSsifica-
tions from public funds.
No deadline for conclusion of
the survey has been set. Mr..
Wehrly said that periodic con-
ferences win be held between the
Planning Commission and DR..
Hoyt during the study and prog
ress reports win be issued.

nesslike manner" Mr.. Bach de-
clared in a prepared statement. "It
is good business sense to expand
in times Of high income. Therefore,
| believe a bond issue for general
county improvements should be
presented to the electorate for
approval this fall. The size If
the bond issue should be deter
mined after adequate public con-
Isultation with the County ,ard.' y

Bach stated, would dictate a
minimum OF duplication in gov
ernment and elimination Of poorly
functioning and non-essential

board majority has wasted tax
funds by increasing the number
OF county departments by three
