Musicians objected when Mr.
Rosenthal and his colleagues
moved in" on the orchestra
Paul j. SchWarZ, union president
said. He said that for 10 years
about eight of his union men had
played with the orchestra and no
trouble was encountered.
When Mr.. Rosenthal and his
associates began to take over, the
orchestra lost its amateur stand
ing and became professional, MIR,
SchWarz contended. He also OBJ
lected to concerts, such as that at
the Library of Congress being
played. He explained this is a pro-
fesslonal engagement, while the
orchestra is amateur; that it goes
beyond the regularly scheduled
set of two children's concerts and
one adult concert four times a year
and that the orchestra was
stepping out of its original pur-
pose of performing in Arlington
County.
Mrs. Campbell announced the

be held at 8:15 pm, tonight in the
Courthouse. She said
some 290 members make up the

5 Virginia Candidates
Differ Over Proposal
For Runoff Primary
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, May 7.-The
issue OF a runoff primary law fol
Virginia has drawn a stand-of
from five potential gubernatoria
candidates in 1953-one favors il
half-heartedly, one is fatty op.
posed to it and the other three
are non-committaI.
Such a proposal has beer
noised around by organization
leaders, who believe it may mean
the difference between victory
and defeat in case there is one
strong anti-organization candi-
date in the field against two
more organization candidates.
Opposed by Stanley.
But Representative Stanley
generally conceded to be poten-
tlal organization candidate, wants
no part of the runoff primary
The Fifth District Representa-
tive declared yesterday:
"The Democratic Party plan
governing primaries in Virginia
has proven very satisfactory, ]
know of no contemplated change
providing for a runoff primary
and I hope none will be consid-
cred"
He added that means I am
fatty against the runof."
The subject was brought up
Saturday in speech in Char
lottesVille by Robert Whitehead,
Nelson County delegate who is
considered the leading candidate
from the anti-organization wing
of the State Democratic Party.
Mr.. Whitehead approved the
plan-with reservations. He said
such a law should include local
elections; should include provi-
sions for preferential primary
in selecting delegates to national
nominating conventions, and
should keep Republicans out of
democratic primaries.
Almond Withholds Judgment.
Another possible organization
candidate - Attorney General j.
Lindsay Almond, jr.-said he would
not. commit myself dogmatically
until I have given it careful con-
sideration. I don't think anybody
has thought this thing through
yet =. but the possibility should
be carefully explored"
State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick of Arlington declined to
comment directly about the run
off primary proposal. He had this
to say, however. on the subject
of Republicans:
"You can keep Republicans out
of the primaries, under existing
law, if you want to. They aren't
keeping them out up my way,
though"
A fourth possible organization
candidate, Lieutenant Gov. L. Pres
ton Collins, said merely that he
had mot made up my mind yet.
In fact I haven't given this
matter much thought"

Sewage Survey
Program Put Up
To State Board
Virginia Localities
To Ask Approval for
Project on Thursday

The Virginia State Water Con.
troll Board will be asked Thursday
to approve proposed engineering
survey of sewage disposal prob
lens in Alexandria, Arlington
Fairfax and Falls Chuhch.
Representatives of an interim
committee which the four commu-
mites set up in December will ap-
pear before the Water Board at
2 pm. Thursday in Richmond to
outline plans of the survey. They
will be accompanied by engineers
from the firms of Alexander Pot
ter Associates and Greely & Han
sen, which the four Jurisdictions
have agreed to employ for the
survey.
Disposal Method Sought.
Object of the survey is to de-
termine the best method for the
four communities to dispose of
sewage.
At present, Arlington and Fair
fax counties are proceeding with
plans for treatment facilities to
meet the individual needs of these
counties, but officials in both areas
are aware that in the future a
higher degree of sewage treatment
will be required than their present
plans contemplate.
Alexandria has completed plans
for a sewage disposal plant to
serve that city. The Water Board
has ordered Alexandria to have it's
treatment facilities in operation by
July l, 1852.
At Thursdays hearing, the
Water Board will be asked to
modify this order so Alexandria
ca nawait outcome of the six
month regional engineering survey
before proceeding with it's own
plan. Unlike the proposals for
Arlington and Fairfax, Alexan-
dria's plans would provide as high
a degree of treatment as would
be required for many years. and
would require a much larger CAPT.
tai outlay.
Blue Plains Plant Studied.
Some of the sewage disposal
possibilities to be covered by the
engineering survey are piping Vir-
glnia sewage across the Potomac
River into the District plant att
Blue Plains for treatment; ulti-
mate construction of one large
disposal plant to serve all of
nearby Virginia, or several plants
in different watersheds to serve
nearby Virginia on a regional
basis.
The surveyors also are to take
into consideration what regional
use may be made of the treatment
facilities that Arlington and Fair
fax are getting ready to build. |
In December. Water Board
indicated that they
would be unwilling to permit Alex
andria any delay in construction
of treatment facilities because of
a regional survey which was being
discussed at that time. The
Water Board members based their
objections, however, on fears that
the Northern Virginia communi-
ties would never be able to get
together and agree on such a.
survey.
Since that time, the four COM
munities have agreed on what
firms should be employed for the
job and all have agreed to put up
their share of the 100000 cost.

Intended to Open School.
Mr.. Strong began to buy Sugar
Loaf property in 1912. At first
he intended to conduct a school
there, but that idea was given up
years ago.
One of his great interests is
economics. He fears imitation
not for the harm it may do him
but for the harm it might do his
public project after his death. by
cheapening the money that he has
set aside for it.
He enjoys walking around on
his mountain. He got out of the
car at every stop and pointed to
the views. The parking areas are
all hidden away by trees so that
the sight of a car spoils no pic
nlcker's communion with nature.
Everything on Sugar Loaf is
olg-olg enough to go along with

Is the blg-Stone masonry worked
out by mis- superintendent, Albert
M. Thomas. The picnic tables are

monia kept him from going to

He goes on talking, about his
Wander-year, the year he took off
from Harvard and went to Europe
with generous letter of credit
arranged by his parents. He went
TO Heidelberg.
1t was just like the Student
Prince" he says.
He tells of riding down the
Rhine valley in Alsace and Ior-
ralne, riding a fine horse and ac-
companied by his Great Dane
The dog felt it his duty to run
ahead barking and warn anv viii
lage he entered.
AS Tor the present-day American
scene he is more disturbed about
moral standards than Senator
Fulbright and the inf1ationarv
pressures of Government spending
than Senator Byrd.

he says, important because it is
SO near the Capital. If I can get

ties against the rocks. Most of the
Sugar Loaf visitors are women
Many of them have little feeling

cleaning up a mountain. They
throw their facial tissues in the

Once the mountain is cleaned
up his philanthropy takes ascend

the visitors are enjoying it. No
one recognizes him and he is in
