Planning Group Asks
County Approval Of
z Rezoning Petitions

Approval by the Prince Georges
County Commissioners of its
petitions to rezone two pieces of
property for residential and gen.
eral commercial uses. respectively,
has been asked by the Maryland
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
One Of the applications seeks
the reclassification from local
commercial to single-family home
use of lot in Fairmont Heights.
A commission spokesman said
the property had been spot
zoned" many years ago and that
a building on it had been de-
molished.
The other petition seeks the re-
classification from residential to
general commercial of land along
the south side of Annapolis road
between the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad freight line and old Fish
street. Bladensburg.
This land. according to the
spokesman. had been classified as
commercial under the county's
old Zoning ordinance but had been
omitted inadvertently from the
new zoning map.
The commission also recon-
mended approval of the following
petitions:
Walter F. Brantley, for the re-
classification from residential to
local commercial of property On
Naylor road near Strick's Restau-
rant. Silver Hill.
Adolph S. Sanders, for the re-
classification from residential to
general commercial of land on the
west side of the Baltimore boule-
ward near Metzerott road.
Recommended for denial was
an application by Francis c.
Scruggs. for the rezoning from
general commercial to light in
dustrial of property on the north
side of Marlboro pike, near Fifty
seventh street, Capitol Feights.

Sewage Report Holds
Plant Expansion Least
Costly for Arlington

The Arlington County Depart
ment of Public Service has pre-
pared figures showing that ex-
pansion of the county's present
sewage disposal plant would be
cheaper for the next 80 years
than piping sewage to Washington
for treatment.
The figures were presented to
County Board members. who last
week approved plans for an en-
gineering survey to determine the
cheapest way for Northern Vir-
ginia communities to dispose OF
sewage.
r. M. Writ, director of public
services in Arlington who, with
County Sanitary Engineer Harry
Doe, prepared the figures, empha-
sized that they were tentative.
"Oui estimates could be off 25
per cent" he said.
Ideas Presented.
Mr.. Writ said the report was
not intended to block plans for the
engineering survey.
I'VE just wanted the county
board to know our ideas on the
matter" said Mr.. Writ.
To arrive at their cost estimates
Mr.. Writ and Mr.. Doe used con-
struction costs of a Baltimore
sewer project which they said re-
quired work similar to that nee
essary for carrying Arlington
sewage to Washington.
They reported as follows:
Construction of an interceptor
main from the present outfall on
-Four Mile run to a point in Alex
andria opposite the District plant
would cost about $2,500,000
Arlington then would pay ap-
proximately $500.00o as its share
Of the cost of a pumping station
to force sewage to the District
and would have to pay about
100000 as it's share of a sewer
main under the Potomac River to
the District plant.
Estimates Given.
Altogether, Mr.. Writ and MIR
Doe estimate the plan would cost
$3,800.000 while the cost Of en-
larging Arlington's present plant
would be $2.225 900.
Cost of treating sewage would
be $4,000 cheaper annually at
the District plant, the two Arling-
ton officials agreed. But they SAID
the $1,575, 900 higher initial cost
OF the District proposition would
require an annual amortization o1
$75. 900. They deducted the $780,
900 lower annual operating cost
from the annual amortization
cost, and figured that Arlington
would save $45,000 a year for sc
years by enlarging its present
plant.
Asked about the type of treat
ment afforded by the two plans
Mr.. Writ replied that the Arling.
ton expansion plans and the pres
ent District plant both provide
primary treatment. He acknowl.
edged that the District plant is
planning a higher degree of treat
mert. but said Arlington probably
would have to pay more for treat
ment of it's sewage at the District
plant if that is accomplished.

Meeting Called
In Arlington on
oIFinancinq
Suggestion Is Made
For Combination Of
Finding Methods

A member Of the Arlington
School Board yesterday raised the
question of whether the county
could finance its much-needed
school building program with
combination bond issue and pay
as-you-go plan, using bonds for
construction and tax revenues for
equipment, landscaping and side
walks.
Colin C. Macpherson, himself a
builder, made the suggestion in
urging citizens to attend a county,
wide meeting tomorrow, at which
school financing will be discussed.
The meeting will be held at 8
pm. at Kate Waller Barrett
School, 4400 North Henderson
road.
Expressions Asked.
Mrs. Art Brown, publicity di-
rector for the board, said numerous
suggestions on financing had been
received since the voters rejected
proposed $7.5 million bond is
sue last November.
She pointed out that both the
Democratic and Republican
parties have advocated some form
of bond issue and said the need
for additional schools is urgent.
She said many children may have

double shift basis, because 1900
more pupils are expected to be
enrolled. The $4,000 now attend
ing Arlington schools already are
crowding buildings now in use.
Mr.. Macpherson said arlington
residents "are intensely interested
in our schools"
Expression Asked.
Now we want them to come out
tomorrow night and express
themselves as to how they think
we should finance the new schools
which we need SO badly"
Mr.. Macpherson said the
School Board is eager to CON-
slider any practical plan which
may be proposed. Then he added:
1--WE have heard a lot about a
pay-as-you-go play of school pay
ment as opposed to the bond
method of school financing. It
may be that a combination of both
plans could be worked out. We
want TO know what Arlington
voters think should be done"

Alexandria Bar Association to
press for the appointment, said he

Fairfax Citizens
Draft Plan for
Redistricting
Federation Proposes
5 MoeistrioI Areas
Of Equal Population

A plan for rearranging Fairfax
County into five magisterial dis
tricts of approximately equal popu-
lation has been worked out by
the Federation of Fairfax County
Citizens Associations.
In announcing details of the
redistricting plan last night, a
federation spokesman declared
that his group was not now recon-
mending it's adoption.
"This is simply the first of what
the federation hopes will be sew
eral feasible plans to be offered
by our organization for considera-
tion and study" the spokesman
explained.
County Has Six Districts Now.
At present, Fairfax County Isl
divided into six magisterial dis
tricts. The Board of Supervisors
is composed of one representative
from each.
Petitions for redistricting have
been presented to Fairfax Circuit
Court by the Federation and by
David Lawrence. Washington news
writer who is chairman of a re-
search project preparing for the
shift to a county executive form
of government. The court has
set no date for a hearing the
petitions.
The federation said that it plans
to study possible creation of nine
magisterial districts, as suggested
by Mr.. Lawrence, and also of seven
magisterial districts.
Odd Numbers Will Avoid Tie.
"Odd numbers are being taken
to avoid tie votes by the Board of
Supervisors" it was explained.
The Federation reported that
so far it has been unsuccessful in
finding fair and workable plan
for dividing the county into more
than five districts of near equal
population because the State
Constitution does not allow crea-
ton of new magisterial districts
containing less than 80 square
miles.
Pending annexation suits, the
federation acknowledged, compli-
cate any redistricting proposal at
this time. Annexation suits by
Alexandria and Falls Church
against the county both are before
the Supreme Court of Appeals.
"Yet there is every indication
that if the basic work required for
redistricting is done now, the Job
can be completed we'll in time for
the August primary elections" the
federation said.
Election Due in Summer.
The entire new Board of Super
visors comes up for election this
year.
Unless redistricting is effected
within three to five months" the
federation said, then the voters
OF Fairfax County will not be al
lowed to elect their supervisors on
equitable basis for another four
years"
To demonstrate the need for re-
districting. the federation COM
piled a list of existing magisterial
districts and their populations, ex-
Guiding residents of the area
tentatively annexed by Alexandria,
inmates Of the Lorton Reforma-
tory and military personnel of Fort
Belvoir.
The list follows:
Dranesville, 5.999; Centerville.
4,444; Falls Church. 23,385: Lee.
3.648; Mount Vernon, 23,782, and
Providence. 20,601.
Population of the five proposed
districts ranges from $500 to
17.4O0.
The federation said the proposed
districts, with minor exceptions,
follow natural boundaries, and also
follow approximately lines of the
enumeration districts used in the
census.

The decision Of the Danish
government to go along with
the other members of the North

admitting Greece and Turkey to

have been q most difficult OBJ
stacle in rounding out the At
lantic pact.
With 10 member nations ap-
proving the American proposal
which was based on the reali-
ties of world power politics
Norway and Denmark were the
only two holdouts. Norway de-
clined to exercise her veto to
prevent the admission of the
two Mediterranean countries.
and Denmark, in a remarkable
display of subordination to the
will Of the majority, then de-
cided not to oppose the pro-
posal.
AS a consequence the Ottawa
conference of the NATO council
can go ahead now on the plans
for setting up a separate Medi-
terranean command which will
do for Southern and Southeast
ern Europe what Gen. Eisen-
hower's command is doing for
Western Europe.
In giving way to the majority
Denmark and Norway were
giving up what they sincerely

I'VE should consider that the

rean war - that they would
want to retain it as a fostering
sore, vacuum which the Allies
would have to fill with man
power and material resources.
They probably would not want
to overpower the Allies with
military force but ultimately
break down the economy of the
Allies.
They might keep the Chi
nese involved against the Allies
and also implement other satel-
lites against us. They would
net involve the Soviet military
forces at all but would def
nitely accentuate psychological
warfare measures to impugn the
motives of the Allies, to under
mine confidence in Allied lead
