Problems Delay Plans
For AnnandaIe Area
Sanitary District

Many problems must be solved
before a proposal for a sanitary
district in the Annandale area can
can be presented to Fairfax
County Circuit Court, according to
James j. Corbalis, county sanitary
engineer.
Mr.. Corbalis addressed group
of about 200 residents at meet
ing of the Annandale Citizens
Association in the Annandale
School last night.
Sewage service will be available
to homes between Springfield and
the Quartermaster Depot on Little
River turnpike, Mr.. Corbalis said,
on completion of line now being
installed. Edward r. Carr, de-
veloper of the proposed Springfield
community, which will eventually
take in 1900 acres. said his firm
is having the system put in.
Mr.. Carr said the line will be
leased to the county when it is
completed.
Limited Capacity.
The capacity of the new line
will not be sufficient to permit
connection of all adjacent homes,
Mr.. Corbalis said, but most prop
erty owners who desire the service
will be able to arrange for it.
The Springfield community also
has water service, supplied by the
Alexandria Water Co.
Development of plans for the
proposed sanitary district has been
delayed, Mr.. Corbalis said, by a
number of court cases and sanl-
tary problems in other parts OF
the county.
Basic data are still not available
the engineer said, to permit his
Office to reach decisions on the
best size for the proposed district
and on an estimated cost Of pro-
viding sewer service.
Larger Budget Needed.
The sanitary engineer promised
that a more intensive study OF
Annandale area problems will be
made this winter but he said that
in order to assure continuous at
tention to the problem he would
need a larger budget.
Bernard R. Mullady. president
of the citizens association, sale
the community is threatened with
a health problem, unless action il
taken to provide sewer service
particularly in thickly settled de-
velopments.
Omer L. Hirst, who was chair.
man of the discussion. reported
that the Annandale Emergency
Sanitary Committee has been ad'
vised of the results of a study b!
Massey Engineers and agrees tina
further work must be done before
q concrete proposal for a sanitar!
district can be prepared.

velopers of the 1,800-acre Bristov

possible it will be to work out
solid and lasting arrangements
that will prevent war. Our
strength will make for peace.
Our policy is based on the hope
that it will be possible to live,
without a war, in the same world
as the Soviet Union-if the free
nations have adequate defenses.
AS our defenses improve, the
chances of negotiating successful
ly with the Soviet Union will in
crease. The growth of our de-
fenses will help to convince the
leaders of the Soviet Union that
peaceful arrangements are in
their own self-interest. And as
our strength increases, we should

Lien Placed on Property.
The exact tax liability still
outstanding against Mr.. Shapiro
was not clearly brought out, but
lat one point he said delinquency
covered only his personal in
come tax.
Under questioning, however, he
said no attempt was made to COL
|lect his delinquent taxes after
May. 1949, until a lien was placed

few months ago.
Martin P. Higgins, chief field
deputy in the Boston Internal
Revenue Office. told the subcom-
|mittee he was stopped from doing
anything about collections when
the Shapiro case was taken over
by Mr.. Delaney.
One Of the counts In the in

that he received $4,000 to inf1u-
ence his decision in the Shapiro
case. The Finnegan brothers
testified before the subcommittee
last night that they had received
81 $50 each from the Friedman
firm but insisted that it was for
legal services and other purposes.
The subcommittee opened its
inquiry into the Boston case as
"a part Of an investigation of
scandals which have rocked the
bureau in cities ranging from San

the House Judiciary Committee

the bill passed only by the de-
Gliding vote of the presiding Of
f1cer.
Fear Overcame Faith.
Think what this means. II
there had been one more negative
vote. there might never have been
a Wake Forest College-with all
that it has meant to North Caro-
lima and the Nation. You might
never have had such great lead
ers as the presidents of this COL
llege-men like W. L. Poteat, who
did so much to defend freedom of
thought. or Thurman Kitchen,
who built undiscouraged through
depression and war. There might
have been no opportunity for men
like Harold Tribble to lead this
institution into an era of greater
service to humanity.
How was it possible for 20 men,
back then in 1888, to vote against
such a constructive step as the
founding Of Wake Forest?
We have no proof whatever
that they were unpatriotic men,
selfish men. or evil men. They
claimed they were not. Indeed,
the facts seem to show that they
were simply afraid. They allowed
their suspicion and fear to over
come their hope and their faith.
They argued that to incorpo-
rate Wake Forest would lead to "a
proud and pompous ministry"
They said that this sort of school
was bound to become "a curse to
1.-THE Church Of God, and to the ma
tions Of the earth.
Their objection. in modern
terms. was that the college might
turn into subversive organiza-
ton which would destroy the
American way of life.
The fear of moving ahead, the
unwillingness to try anything new.
almost stifled Wake Forest at
birth. But let us remember that
the forces that nearly prevented
the creation of Wake Forest were
not peculiar to that time and
place. They are deeply embedded
in human nature and are alive
and powerful today. ..
Effort Is Worth Making.
At the present time this Nation
of ours is engaged in a great series
of positive actions to secure peace
in the world. This effort is costing
us a great deal-in taxes, in
energy, in unwelcome changes In
our daily living. It is even costing
us the lives Of some of our bravest
and best young people who are
fighting in the front lines against
aggression.
Like any positive effort, this
one is being questioned and criti-
cized. There are people who ask
whether 1t is worth doing. There
are people who point to the sac
rif1ces, the inconvenience, the
cost. and who say it would be
better to do nothing-or as close
to nothing as possible.
But it is clear, to most Of us at
least, that the effort is worth
making-indeed that we have to
make it.
I am afraid that some people,
here and abroad. believe that the
creation Of armed defenses must
inevitably lead to war. This is not
the case. We do not thing war
is inevitable.
We believe that the creation of
defenseS will make war less likely.
So long as one country has the
power and the forces to over
whelm others. and so long as that
country has aggressive intentions.
real peace is unattainable. The
