Patience in Change 10
New Fairfax System

David Lawrence. Washington
news writer, has urged patience
and cooperation in establishing
Fairfax County's new government
system January l.
Mr.. Lawrence. who headed a
special county commission created
ito study the problems involved in
the change from the present to
the new system, told the Fairfax
County Civic Association last night
that it could give valuable service
lin making the new system work.
Mr.. Lawrence said that for the
first time the county will have a
responsive government. He said
the new system provides monthly
reports to the people and. above
all. a responsible administrative
head.
Asserting that the key to the
new system will be the selection
of the proper administrator Mr..
Lawrence said he hopes the county
will select an administrator worth
more than $4,000 a year"
/ Non-PoIitical Leader.
He said the administrator
should be mon political type"
He said he had no quarrel with
political parties, but that a sue
cessful county executive should
be a manager rather than a poll
! tician.
Il hope the manager that is
selected will be a man expert
enced in municipal government
affairs, whether he comes from
Virginia or elsewhere. He should
be objective. and be able to work
with all factions and groups"
! He pointed out at least two
changes which he said should be
sought in the general law govern
ing the county.
! One, he said, is the archaic
practice of the appointive power
of the Circuit Court Judge to fill
vacancies which may occur on
the Board of Supervisors between
elections.
He said he hopes the county
would seek legislation in the Gen.
Ieral Assembly which would allow
a vacancy on the board to be
filled at the next general election,
rather than to have a man ap-
pointed who would serve until the
next supervisor election. This. he
said, could be for as long as four
years.
Advises Merit System.
| Mr.. Lawrence also told the
meeting in the Annandale school
that he hoped to see the county
establish a merit system for its
employees.
| He said that while the new
government plan makes manda-
tory equal pay for equal work. it
does not specify that merit sys-
tenn be provided.
Il believe that a merit system
! is essential" he said. If capable.

Committees from the two major
Republican clubs of Prince Georges
County will meet Sunday to decide
when and where they will present
the county commissioners with a
demand for dismissal Of all ma
chine Democrats" from the public
payroll.
A strongly worded resolution to
that effect, previously adopted by
the Young Republican Club. was
adopted by the (senior) Repub-
lican Club last night.
Mrs. Dorothy Sousa. secretary of
the senior group said, "The people
who were in Office when the Re-
publicans took over last year were
appointed under a Democratic
spoils system. not a merit system,
so they can't blame the Repub-
licans for doing the same thing.

General Motors Official
Urges Better Highways

More money should be spent on

BY the Associated Press

YANCEYVILLE, N. c., Nov. 16
"A mistrial was ordered today ir
the case of Negro sharecroppel
accused of assaulting a 17-year-
old white girl by allegedly leerin2
at her and chasing her.
The mistrial was ordered by
Judge J. A. Rousseau after the
jury. composed of four Negroes
and eight whites, deliberated fol
about five hours yesterday and
today and reported it was "hope-
|leSSly deadlocked"
| Foreman C. J. Long told the
court that the jury had voted II
for conviction and two for acquit-
tai. He said two Negro jurors had
held out for acquittal.
The case, which has been used
Iby Communist propagandists in
ATTACKS on American justice, came
to an abrupt end shortly after II
am. (EST.
The all-male jury was asked to
decide whether Mack Ingram, "A,
assaulted the girl during an in
cident last June near her farm
home. She testified that he
leered at her and followed her
across the field although the
closest he got to her was about
68 feet.
Case Continued Till March.
Judge Rousseau ordered the
case continued on the Superior
Court docket. The next term of
court is scheduled for March.
The judge told the jurors, 81
guess you gentlemen did the best
you could. 1 can see where you
dlsagreed-maybe.
Il tell you gentlemen further
that if there had been no evidence
OF the defendant doing more than
leering at the prosecuting witness
the case would not have been SUBJ
mitted to you"
Judge Rousseau added that he
thought there had been evidence
Iof a display of violence-evidence
that the defendant chased the
girl :"

Both Rousseau and Solicito,
'PrsoecutoD r. j. Scott empha-
sized that under the charge

causes person to become reason

danger, explained the judge, con-

The incident on which the trial
is based occurred last June 4. The
girl. then Willie Jean Boswell, now
Mrs. Willie Jean Webster, said she
was on her way to join her father
and brothers working in a tobacco
field.
Ran Across Corn Field.
She testified that Ingram, the
father of nine children, passed her
in his car with his head sticking
out of the window. He leered at
her. she stated, and she began
running across a corn field when
she heard his car stops She tes-
titled he followed her across the
field although the closest he ap-
preached her was about SO feet.
Ingram. who elected not to take
the stand, denied the charge to
officers. He told authorities he
left his automobile and went into
the field to try to borrow a trailer
If convicted. Ingram could be
given a maximum sentence of two

speak a second time might set

speeches.
Mr.. Vishinsky denounced Mr..
Casey's "discourtesy" and then
launched his detailed exposition
of objections to the Big Three dis
armament proposals in a tone
and language which, for him, was
extremely moderate. There was
no other objection to his continu-
ing to speak. 49,.
He insisted that the Western
plan was merely a reinstatement
of the. Baruch plan for atomic
control, which the Assembly has
approved but which Russia re-
fuses to accept.
Objects to Inspection.
Mr.. Vishinsky particularly OBJ
jected to the Vests proposal for
inspection and disarmament by
stages. Under it the nations OF
the world would first count-and
have the count verified by an in
ternational commission - their
conventional weapons and even
tually reach atomic arms.
Their true desire in putting
forward the "Step-by-step" plan,
Mr.. Vishinsky claimed, is to avoid
altogether any submission of any
information about any atomic
weapons which belong to the
secret category.
French Foreign Minister Rob-
ert Schuman was scheduled to
give the Vests answer to Mr.
Vishinsky. Because of the late
ness OF the hour, he postponed his
reply until tomorrow.
