/. Whether the evidence sus-
tajns the courts finding that the
annexation of the territory was
necessary and eXpedient.
2. Whether the conditions i'm
posed on the city for the future
management and improvement of
the territory were reasonable and
fair.
3. Whether the court had au-
thority to annex part OF sani-
tary district.
4. Whether the court required
the city to assume a fair and just
proportion of the existing indebt-
edness of the county and its polit-
ical subdivisions.

PARIS, Dec. 3.-The Western
powers tried to pin down Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vi
shinsky today on whether Russia
would agree that the prohibition
of atomic weapons and the start
of international atomic control
could become effective stimuli
taneously. They got no answer.
Following a secret two-and-a-
half hour disarmament discus
sion among the Big Four-Russia.
Britain, France and the United
States Western spokesman said
United States Delegate Philip c.
Jessup asked Mr.. Vishinsky:
would the Soviet Union admit
inspectors the very day after the
United Nations General Assembly
passed q resolution on prohibi-
tion?"
Mr.. Vishinsky did not reply. he
said.
Insist on Inspection.
The West has always maintained
that there can be no unconditional
prohibition of the atomic weapon
without a foolproof international
inspection system to guarantee
obedience. Russia demands i'm
mediate prohibition of the bomb
and then discussion of controls.
Despite this stumbling block

China Reds Sentence
Two Nuns 10 5 Years
And Expe|I ; Others
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

HONG KONG, Dec. 3.-A Com
munist court sentenced two
Canadian nuns to five-year prison
terms Sunday and ordered three
others expelled from China dur
ing a disorderly public trial in
Canton.
Some Of the more than 5000
noisy spectators leaped to the
judges platform and hurled de-
nunciationS at the defendants.
The milling crowd loudly protest.
ed the sentences as "too lenient." "
The unusual broadcast of the
two-and-a-half hour trial was
heard by the Associated Press.
Shouts of the crowd could be
heard easily above the prosecutors
voice as he droned a long list of
charges-the "muroers" of home
less waits given shelter at the
Sacred Heart orphanage.
No Defense for Nuns.
The broadcast mentioned no
semblance of a defense for the
nuns. They were identified only by
their Chinese names, but Catholic
sources in Hong Kong said the
five were:
Sister Superior Antoinette Couv-
rette, 50, toilette, Quebec, orphan
age superintendent, and Sister
Jermaine Gravel, 43, Three Rivers,
Quebec. each sentenced to five
years; and Sister Imelda Lapierre,
Penrouge, Quebec: Sister Jermaine
Tanguay, Canadian citizen born at
Nashua, N. H.: and Sister Eliza
beth Lemire. La Bale du Fevre,
Quebec.
For years they operated a re-
ceiving station to which were
brought thousands of abandoned
children-many of them dying on
arrival. The nuns were arrested
nine months ago and held incom-
municado in Canton Jail.
The trial was held in the open
square in front of Canton's Sun
Yat Sen Memorial Hall.
Chief Justice Wen Hsu-Yuan
opened the proceedings with this
announcement: THE purpose of
holding this trial today is to as
sure the people that all remnants
of Imperialism will sooner or later
be put to justice under the peo-
piles (CommuniSt) law"
Accused of Staying Orphans.
The crowd of. 5000 cheered.
Then Prosecutor Cheng Pc Chen
read long list of counts against
the nuns. He said they had slain
2.116 orphans between October IA,
1s49-Canton's Communist Glib
Grafton day"-and last January IA.
Cheng asserted that the Defend
ants Grimes are comparable to
those being committed in Korea
by the aggression troops of the
United States"
Before he had finished. specta-
tors leaped to the rostrum along
side the prosecutor and hurled
charges at the nuns Cheng called
for some to state their own accu-
.sations. Because of the shouting
by the crowd, these could not be
heard clearly in the broadcast.
After the trial, the chief justice
announced the nuns would be pa
raded through Canton's streets so
that all could recognize their vi
eious features" The Red radio did
not say later whether such a pa
rade was held.

ing in the city and those in the
proposed area.
The Court of Appeals ruled
there is nothing in the annexa-
ton statutes that can be con.
strued to exclude a sanitary dis
trict or any part thereof from the
area to be annexed. which the
county had argued.
The case was heard in Fairfax
Circuit Court in October, 1850, be-
fore Judges Paul Brown of Fair
fax; Jess Walter of Accomac. and
Walter T. Mccarthy of Arlington
Their decision the following
month awarded Alexandria the
full territory it sought, except a
small strip in Lincolnia which in
cluded the Lincolnia School.
Decree Suspended.
Fairfax announced plans to ap-
peal before the annexation was
to take effect last January /.
When January l came and the
appeal had not been filed, Alex
andria moved into the annexa-
ton territory-sign posts and all.
Alexandria moved back out again
a week later after the annexa-
ton court reconvened and sus-
pended the annexation decree to
permit Fairfax time TO file its
appeal.
A similarly undeveloped area
was taken by Alexandria in an
annexation suit against Arlington
County a number of years ago.
IParkfairfax and part of Beverly
Hills are now situated on that
land. The annexation area ap-
pears headed for similar devel-
opment. Mark Winkler, owner of
$50 acres in the annexable area
near Shirley highway and Semi
nary road. last year announced
plans for a $500 unit apartment
project on his property.
The opinion of the Falls
Church Fairfax suit was written
by Associate Justice Kennan c
Whittle. He said 1.-The unanimou,

| in this case is plainly. right"
Satellite of Washington.
The Supreme Court in uphold
ing the annexation court pointed
out that generally annexation
are brought about by the growth
of cities from within caused b!
the expanding of industrial de-
velopment.
The high court held that IL
this case the city Of Falls Church
owes its increase in population Il
nothing that has happened within
its borders.
"The growth in both areas i
traceable directly to the location
of the Federal Government in tn,
District of Columbia. The who'll
area including the city Of Fall
Church is a satellite of the Cit.
of Washington" the court Sc
forth.
The ojinion stated. however
that this was not intended to i'm
ply that this should bar apnexa
ton in a proper case where
"virile. well-managed city is in
volved."
The court said further that tn
city of Falls Church had failed t
prove the community of interes
between the city and the area t
be annexed.
The Falls Church annexatio
suit was dismissed in July, 1876
after a 21-day trial before Judge
