The right Of the Protestant
Episcopal Theological Seminary

bequest was upheld today by the
United States Court of Appeals
The sum had been left the in
stitution under terms of the will
OF Mary E. Maxwell, heiress to a

died in Washington in 1949.
A District court ruling which
upheld the bequest was appealed
by Mrs. Agra B. Williams of Pitts
burgh, Pa, niece of Miss Maxwell
and sole heir at law.
Attorneys for Mrs. Williams had
argued that Virginia legislation
had shown hostility" to religious
interpretations in such matters.
But the appellate tribunal held
that under Virginia law, the semi
nary has capacity to- take the be-
quest" The court stated that

Rezoning Clears Way
For 81 Million U. 5.
Warehouse in Fairfax

The way has been cleared for
construction of a huge, new Gov
ernment warehouse in Fairfax
County.
The Board of County Super
visors yesterday unanimously ap-
Iproved industrial rezoning of 211
acres for the warehouse site. There
was no opposition. The property is
located near Franconia between
the r. F. & P. Railroad and Shir-
ley highway.
The warehouse is to be con-
Istructed by the Parr National
Warehouse Co. and leased to Cen
eral Services Administration. 1t
will cost between IS and ST million
and will contain about 1880, 900
square feet of floor space, the su-
perviSors were told.
To Employ $50.
Fred Parr, of the warehouse
firm, estimated about $50 million
worth of goods will be handled at
the warehouse each year. About
$50 people will be employed.
Mr.. Parr said the warehouse
should bring the county between
SIS, 200 and 100000 in additional
taxes each year.
Construction is due to begin
within 80 days. The first section
of 100000 square feet is to be COM
|pleted by next March and the
remainder is supposed to be ready
by the end of 1853.
A new ordinance was adopted,
imposing an annual license tax of
$50 per lot in trailer parks. A
delegation Of trailer park opera
tors, led by Attorney Griffin Gar
nett, objected that the tax is too
high.
Prior Law Invalidated.
A similar ordinance imposing
the same tax was invalidated by
the Virginia Supreme Court Of
Appeals last December on grounds
that it was adopted under special
Legislation. A new enabling act
was adopted at the last General
Assembly session to eliminate this
objection.
Efforts to reopen the new Ne
gro high school problem resulted
in a tie vote. Last week the
supervisors unanimously expressed
|disapproval Of a school board de-
|cision to put an elementary wing
on the proposed new Negro high
school at Merrifield.
Supervisor Arthur Shaffer yes
|terday moved to reconsider the
former action and to confer with
the school board. Supervisors C..
B. Jett and Maurice w. Fox
voted with him. Supervisor G..
Wallace Carper. Mrs. Anne Will
|kins and Stuart DeBell voted no.
Clarence Yeatman, the county's
official tie-breaker. will be called
lon next Wednesday to break the
deadlock.

Council Vote Issues
To Attorney General

Virginia Attorney j. Lindsay

two questions arising out of Tues
days city council election in
Alexandria.
City Attorney v. Floyd Williams
today said he would forward a
letter to Mr.. Almond through
Alexandria Delegate Armistead

erals opinion on the following
questions:
l.. Should the candidate who re-
ceived the most votes in Tues
days election automatically be-
come mayor?
2. Should the new council take
office July l or September /?
Old Provisions in Effect.
Both questions arose because
the election was held while old
charter provisions were in effect,
but new charter amendments take
effect June q.
The old charter provisions speci-
fled that the council elect its own
mayor from among the victorious
candidates. It also provided that
terms Of the old council expire
September /.
The new charter amendments
provide that the candidate re-
ceiving the most votes in the coun-
Gil election becomes mayor and
that the new council takes office
July l.
Four IncumbentS Elected.
The new. all-Democratic coun-
Gil elected Tuesday includes four
|incumbents. Mayor Franklin p.
BackuS, one of the reelected
councilmen, said it had been in
formally agreed among a majority
of the new councilmen to appoint
the top man in the election as
the new mayor. Marshall j.
Beverly polled the most votes
Tuesday. Despite this agreement
and despite apparent agreement
that the old council would step
aside July !, city officials decided
it would be better to have an Off
cial ruling on the situation.

By Doualas TuomeY

In the spring and early summer,
many householders are bothered
by Swarms of small flies and
gnats so small in size that they
can pass right through the aver
age mosquito or insect screens.
AS these swarms are always at
tracted by the smell of cooking,
an open window is frequently an
invitation to an invasion.
A definite cure for this kind of
annoyance is found in coating
the screens with castor oil. This
is such a thick, viscous oil that it
closes the mesh of the screens to
less than half of its measure
ment and at the same time it is
SO sticky a gnat need only touch
lit with the edge of a wing to be
trapped in it.
When the small insect season
has passed, the oil can be removed
by wiping both sides of the
screen with a sponge or soft cloth
soaked in turpentine. AS castor
oil is one Of the so-called non
drying oils, it never hardens up
and sets as do the oils used in
the manufacture Of paints and
varnishes.

Light and Shadow Design.
One of the advantages of a
house model in helping you to
check design features, Mr.. Koe-

same way as on the finished
house. This check can't be OBJ
tanned merely by having the
house sketched in two dimen-
SionS.
Likewise, a model Is a big
help in properly evaluating the
weight of color. In a fiat draw
ing, you can't tell SO well how
to balance the color scheme,
taking into consideration the
effect of accents and shadows.
At the same time, too, the
three dimensions of the model
help the designer to make sure
of the proportions and to check
the suitability of the pitch of
the roof and the possibilities as
to furniture arrangement.
Nor does the house model
need to be large. When COM
pleted the Koenig houses will
have dimensions Of about As by
26 feet and contain about 1900
square feet of floor space. The
