Today Of Virginia S
Redistricting Act

The story behind enactment of
the congressional redistricting bill
by the Virginia General Assembly
will be told in a radio address this

Charles r. Fenwick of Arlington.
"This was by far the most dra-
matte and far-reaching accom-

He was the chief patron Of the
legislation which created the new
10th congressional district in Ar

In talk at pm. today on
station WARL, he will explain
the strategy employed and some
of the maneuvers necessary both
to pass the bill and to fight off all
other redistricting plans, some in
the form of crippling amendments.
when you are dealing with
such q delicate matter as redis-
tricting," he said, "it is always
dangerous to make an amend
ment."
Nevertheless, some amendments
acceptable to the patron were
added by the House of Delegates
where Delegate j. Maynard Ma
gruder, also of Arlington, man
aged the legislation.
Praises Handling of Issue.
"AdroitnesS was manifested by
Mr.. Magruder in handling the
amendments" Senator Fenwick
said. SAT no time did he become
personal and too much credit can
not be given him in the successful
passage of the bill in the House. +"
The Arlington Senator will
explain the difference between
constitutional requirements for
congressional rediStricting and
legislative reapportionment for
representation in the General As
Sembly. The Legislature failed to

back yesterday.
Chairman McCarran of the Sem

spite testimony that the National

uration point, he could see no ne
cessity for rushing ahead with a

Bids for Development
Of Big Tracts Will GET
Alexandra Hearing =

The Alexandria Planning Com
mission will conduct a public hear
ing at 1880 pm. Thursday on the
first two applications for develop
ment of large tracts under the
Icity's new community unit plan.
The applications are for deve-
lopment of the 50-acre Brookings
tract, which is between Leesburg
pike and old Braddock road in
the territory recently annexed
from Fairfax County, and for the
63-acre Hume estate in the Del
Ray section of the city.
Provision for development of
tracts exceeding 10 acres under a
community unit plan is part of
the city's new zoning ordinance
which took effect January /.
Can Develop Big Tracts.
A community unit plan permits
development of large tracts with
variances from the areas zoning
classification. provided the popul-
alton density for the entire tract
does not exceed the population
density permitted by the zone in
which the property is located.
For instance, a residential tract
may be developed into a combin-
alton of apartments, single family
homes and stores.
Plans submitted for develop
ment of the Brookings tract pro-
vide for construction of 730 row.
type apartments. The Brookings
tract. like all other property in
the annexed area, now is zoned
RIO residential, pending compile
ton of a land-use plan for the an
nexed area. The city council, how
ever, recently authorized the den-
sity of the RIA, or apartment
zone. for all property developed in
the annexed area under the COM
munity unit plan.
600 Duplex And Row Houses.
The Hume Estate plan calls for

school site. The property is in an
apartment zone, with the excep-
ton of a 100 foot strip on the

for single family residences.

 Good as hell," answered Swartz.
 There was consternation again. The interpreters went into a huddle for about five minutes. Finally they came out smiling.
 "Oh," they said, "He means they have the force of fire!"
