Suit Against Fairfax
School Bond Issue
Dismissed in Court

A suit by Paul E. Rinehart, jr.
which would have prevented sale
of two voter-approved Fairfax
County bond issues totaling about
$11.5 million, was dismissed ir
County Circuit Court today.
If Mr.. Rinehart wants to appea,
the decision, he will have to post
100000 bond within Is days.
Robert J. McCandlish. jr., attor-
ney for the county, said if no ap-
peal is made within Is days. he
thinks the county can Immediately
proceed to sell the sos million
school issue and the $980.000 court
house addition bond issue.
Alfred Anton. attorney for Mr.
Rinehart. said he did not know If
the case will be appealed.
In dismissing the case, Judge j.
Jordan Temple granted. at the
county's request, a temporary in
junction prohibiting any new
suits challenging validity of the
bond issue-either by Mr.. Rine-
hart or others.
Effective for go Days.
The temporary injunction order
is effective for 60 days. During
that time, court may reconvene
and make the injunction perma-
nent or it may dissolve it.
Judge Temple threw the case
out because, he said, Mr.. Rine-
hart waited too late to file his
suit. The judge recalled that the
two bond issues were approved in
a referendum last May, and hat
in June the court had ordered
sale of the bonds, as result Of
the favorable referendum vote.
49, Although the case specifically
was thrown out because of the
time element. Judge Temple also
held that there was mo merit" to
Mr.. Rinehart's suit. The judge
said he was ruling on the merit of
the suit, so that in case of an ap-
peal, the higher court can deter
mine both the time question and
the merit of the case without
again returning it to Fairfax Cir
cult Court.
Annexation Issue Raised.
Mr.. Rinehart challenged valid
fly of the bond principally be-
cause of Alexandria and Falls
Church annexation suits against
the county. Judge Temple OBJ
served both suits were pending
when the referendum was held.
In answer to the plaintiffs
complaint that the county would
not need as much money for
schools if both annexation suits
are successful, Judge Temple
commented that the School Board
did not have to sell all bonds
authorized in the referendum.

FARM BORROWERS RAISE
PRODUCTION

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Greater production by farmers who
have improved their efficiency and de-
veloped under-used acreage, is re-
ported by Farmers Home Administra-
ton in its 1851 annual report, re-
leased by USDA.
Successful borrowers of the agency
have increased farm production 40 to
500, the report said. In all, about
275,000 farm families who have no
other source of credit were aided.
Veterans becoming established in
farming received slightly more than
half the $155, 100000 appropriated
loan funds. Borrowers repayment on
operating farm ownership, and water
facilities-the programs in which con-
siderable amounts had come due
were 379o larger than in 1850.

was so. Organized crime in the Unit
I'd States is certainly no less menac-
no than is shown by the general con-
illusions of Senator Kefauver which
ire quoted below:
CONCLUSIONS OF
COMMITTEE
/. A nationwide crime syndicate
does exist in the United States of
America, despite the protestations
of strangely assorted company
of criminals, self-serving politi-
clans, plain blind fools and others
who may be misguided. This ma
tionwide syndicate is a loosely or
gained put cohesive coalition of
autonomous crime "locals" which
work together for mutual profit
Its activities are controlled by a
foul and cynical partnership of
mobsters, venal politicians and
constituencies business and profess
sional men-including lawyers and
acCountants-who travel under
the false mask of respectable
ity'.
2. Behind the local mobs which
make up the national crime syn
dictate is shadowy, international
criminal organization known as
the Malta, so fantastic that most
Americans find it hard to believe
it really exists.
8. Although dishonest politicians
and office holders are small min
ority compared with the hundreds
of thousands of devoted, honest
public servants. political corrup-
ton in the United States seems to
have sunk to a new low.
A. While law enforcement is pri-
marily local responsibility, and
everywhere we uncovered monot-
onous picture of corrupt or passive
local officials, much of the re-
sponsibility for what is going on
rests squarely upon federal en-
forcement agencies.
5. Infiltration Of legitimate bus
mess by known hoodlums has pro-
crossed to an alarming extent in
the United States. The commit
tee uncovered several hundred in
stances where known hoodlums,
many of them employing the
muscle" methods of their trade,
had infiltrated more than seventy
types of legitimate businesses.

NASSAU

With this letter we begin our
first attempt to give weekly word
picture of the "doings" of our lit
tie town and community, with the
hope and desire that it might draw
us closer together. Because if there
ever was a time when the people
'of cur beloved country need to be
united it is now. United in a COM
mon effort to combat the evils that
bore from within and without,
evils that would make this land
of the free, a land of bondage. To
this end may we by the Grace of
God, give our last measure of de-
votion, that this nation under God
might have a new birth of free
dom, that this government of the
people and by the people might
not perish from the earth. There
come to us from the Holy Word of
God a prescription for peace and
blessing, a prescription that is
time tested: "If my people that
are called by my name will humble
themselves and seek my face and
pray, then / will open the windows
Of heaven and pour out blessing,
that you might not be able to con-
tain it.
AS we begin our Pastorate in the
land that flows with milk and honey,
we are grateful to those who gave
us a hearty welcomed so that we
feel we are no longer strangers,
but one with them. We trust that
our sojourn here whether long or
short will be profitable to all con-
cerned and the foot prints we leave
in the sands of time will speak of
services rendered to God and to
His people.
This letter will not have in it
very much news as far as the COM
munity is concerned, due to the fact
