|Impoundine Surplus
is Urged in Fairfax

Fairfax County's anticipated
surplus jumped another 100000
last night as the Freeholders' Pro-
tective Association asked for i'm
pounding of the extra money.
The new increase raises the an
Iticipated surplus to approximately
I$1.1 million for the current fiscal
Year.
The biggest part Of the surplus
resulted from an underestimate
real estate tax assessment at the
time the budget was adopted. The
new increase stems from a higher
personal property assessment
than was anticipated.
R. M. Loughborough, county
executive secretary, told the free
holders meeting that Commis-
sioner of Revenue John w. Fer
guson has reported $50 million
in personal property assessments
for the year. while SIT million
was estimated in the budget. In
recent years. personal property
assessments always have run
above expectation because of the
rapidly increasing population.
The. freeholders voted over
whelmingly in favor of having
the surplus fund impounded SO it
could be used for next years ex-
tpenses, thereby reducing taxes.
G. Wallace Carper. chairman Of
the Board of Supervisors. said he
didn't think the present board OF
supervisors has the right to tie
the hands of a new board taking
Iofhce January l. by impounding

Workshop Planned
On Prince Georges
Government Revision

Plans for workshop to analyze
recommendations of a survey re-
port on the Prince Georges Coun-
ity government will be discussed
tomorrow by the planning SUBJ
committee of the Citizens Com
Imittee for Good Government.
The subcommittee will meet at
IS pm. in the home of Reuben j
Gordon. 6109 Lombard street
ICheverly.
William r. Turner, executive
secretary of the Citizens Commit
tee. said the workshop probably
will be held about the middle of
next month.
1T will be sponsored by the citi-
IzenS' group and will be open to
any one interested in good and
more efficient government, Mr..
Turner said.
He explained the workshop will
consist of series of four or five
meetings over a two-week period
During that time the survey rec
Concentrations, which are ex-
pected to be made public before
the end of this month, will be
broken down and studied inten-
ISively.
Authorities on government will
be brought in from Federal agen-
tcies. universities and businesses
to lead the discussions.
| The Citizens Committee then
will sponsor meetings throughout
the county, beginning next Janu-
larry. to take UP all phases of the
Survey report.
In May the committee will take
the initial step toward getting
home rule" for the county by
circulating petitions for a refer
Iendum on setting up a charter
board in November. 1852.
The board. If set up by the
voters, must draft a charter
within six months after the ref
erendum. The charter. itself,
would be placed on the ballot at
the following general election.
Such course of action, Mr..
Turner explained, would permit
voters to adopt a form of county
government Incorporating the
recommendations of the survey
report to such an extent as they
may desire. The intent of the
committee" he said, "is to initiate
a movement that viii permit the
voters of Prince Georges County
to decide for themselves whether
or not a charter shall be drafted. :"

Rep. Smith Promises
|1oHeIp Fairfax County
Get Steel for Schools

Terming the Fairfax school sit
uation desperate" Representa-
tive Simth, Democrat. of Virginia,
has promised to help the county
in its efforts to obtain steel for
new school buildings.
After conference with Fairfax
schools Supt. w. T. Woodson and
Assistant Supt. j. H. Rice yester-
day, MFR. Smith said he would try
to help relieve the shortage that
jeopardizes the county's multi
million dollar school building pro-
gram.
Delayed BY Bond Issue.
Describing Fairfax's school over
crowding as an outrage, he
pointed to the increase in the
county's population from 10000
to more than 100000 largely due
to the influx of Government work
ers and their children.
Fairfax County's school con-
struction program was delayed
more than a year by litigation
contesting validity of a SOS mill
lion school construction bond
issue. The program got under
way early this past summer after
the bonds we're sold. but the steel
ALLEGATION problem now threatens
to halt further construction.
W0odson Dubious.
OF six school contracts awarded.
q steel ALLEGATION has been re-
|ceiyed for only one. Construction
on the other five is expected to
stop when builders reach the first
floor. and steel is needed. Fourteen
other projects are ready to be
contracted for, but there is no
indication when new steel alloca-
tons win be obtained.
Mr.. .Woodson said after the con-
ference that there was scant hope
because of the Governments strict
steel ALLEGATION program.

Chew Hits Leadership
OF County Democrats

F. Freeland Chew, Independ-
tent-Democrat. member of the
darlington County Board, seeking
reelection, criticized the local
leadership of the Democratic
Party in a campaign speech last
might.
"The Democratic machine was
afraid to indorse me because
am too Independent" Mr.. Chew
told members of the Northwest
Arlington Civic Association.
II knew a week in advance OF
the committee meeting that Wade
Pearson and Carroll Wright
would be indorsed," the incum-
bent declared.
Seven of the nine County Board
candidates also spoke at the meet
ing in Rock Spring NCongrega-
tional Church. Mr.. Pearson was
not present. but Mr.. Wright told
the gathering that his indorse-
ment by the committee did not
make him part Of a machine.
Republicans Robert A. Peck and
George Nj. Rowzee. ir.. nom
partisans T. Oscar Smith and
Alan L. Dean. Independent-Re-
publican Jacob C. Bechtel and
Independent Democrat Fred w.
Bach also addressed the group.
Mr.. Chew said the Democratic
leadership made its big mistake
when it decided not to hold a
party primary to select County
Board candidates. He said C.
Harrison Mann, former Demo-
cratic Committee chairman. has
been running the Democratic
machine without much oil lately. =
