Fairfax Protest Seen
AGAINST Teen Drivers
After School Bus Crash

A school bus accident in which
four students were injured slightly
is expected to prompt a new dis
cussion Of teen-age student bus
drivers at today's meeting of the
Fairfax County School Board.
The bus accident occurred yes
terday on Route 1913. just at the
outskirts Of Oakton, Va. The driv-
er Of the bus was Donald Lee
Huguley, II, student at Fairfax
High School, where all students
aboard the bus were bound.
At the last two school board
meetings, there has been criticism
of using teen-age student bus
drivers. School Board members
said the Taxpayers Advisory Asso-
ciation has been the source of the
complaints, but that parent-teach-
er groups appeared satisfied with
the system.
Students Carefully Selected.
Schools Supt. w. T. Woodson
said it is the policy to employ
adult drivers when satisfactory
ones can be found. When adults
are not available, carefully select
ed students are hired, said Mr.
Woodson.
Virginia law permits use of 16-
year-old school bus drivers on
recommendation of school officials
and on passage of a special test
by State examiners.
Mr.. Woodson said principals
recommend all the student drivers
who are employed. They are in
Structed by the transportation di-
vision of the school system before
they start work.
Accident records, Mr.. Woodson
said, indicate the student drivers
are just as safe as adults. In
fact, he said the records slightly
favor the student drivers.
He said the School Boards
policy of hiring adult drivers when
possible is not prompted by any
lack Of confidence in the students
but by the attitude of some par
|ents toward the younger drivers
CarelessnesS Ruled Out.
In the accident yesterday, VIII
liam Ebhardt, school bus trans
|portation supervisor, said he was
satisfied it did not result from
careless driving.
Fairfax police said the bus ap-
|parently was moving slowly as it
pulled away from a stop. The
right front wheel, police said, went
OF the paved highway and struck
ia soft spot in the shoulder. This
threw the bus into a small bridge
Iabutment. and it skidded down a
low bank and turned over on its
side. The 20 students got out
the rear emergency door.
Taken to Arlington Hospital for
treatment were Joan Waple, l6:
Bill Feidler, 13; Airline Rosin, Ia,
and Ellen Fones, is. All were
released except Miss Fones, who
is expected to leave the hospital
today.

New Fairfax County Executive
Takes Calm View Of Problems
Massey to Go Slow
On Needed Changes;
Budget Comes First

Carlton c. Massey takes a calm
view of his new position as county
executive for Fairfax County.
He doesn't underestimate the
many problems involved in ad-
ministering the county which
claims to be the fastest growing
one in the country.
But he doesn't plan to turn
the county government upside
down overnight.
Mr.. Massey summarized his
view of the new job as he took
over yesterday In this way:
II am sure there will be changes.
But they will come after careful
study. They will be made be-
cause I find they are needed. and
not just for the sake of making
changes"
Already, the Board of County
Supervisors. on Mr.. Massey's rec
ommendation, has re-appointed
department heads to serve until
Mr.. Massey sees fit to recommend
any new personel.
Master Plan Problem.
How to provide trash. and gar
bage collection for the urban areas
and development of a master plan
for the county are two problems
that Mr.. Massey expects to work
ion as soon as possible.
His first real task, however,
is to supervise preparation of the
1928 budget which must be
adopted in April. The budget
is sure to be the subject of much
controversy again this year. as it
has in recent years, with urban
and rural sentiment divided on
how much money should be spent.
Complications Familiar.
The complications that arise
in an area with urban and rural
residents are not exactly new to
Mr.. Massey, however. He comes
to Fairfax County from Henrico
County. adjacent to Richmond.
IHenrico is not as large as Fairfax,
but its growth in recent years has
been nearly as rapid. The popu-
lation jumped from. about 27,00C
in 1943 to about 10000 at present,

|Sasscer Urges New
Commission 10 Study
Air Traffic Here

Representative Sasscer, Demo-
crat. of Maryland yesterday asked
the Presidents Airport Commits
sion to investigate air traffic con-
ditions here.
In a letter yesterday to 1t. Gen.
James H. Doolittle, u. S. A. F., re-
tired, chairman Of the recently
appointed commission, the legis-
lator said that without hazard
Gus delay" the commission
should make as your first item
of business prompt study of
traffic conditions here in the Ma
tion's Capital"
Representative Sasscer also
urged use of Baltimore's Friend
ship International Airport to take
some Of the load of Washington s
National Airport.
The legislator made no refer
ence to the three recent crashes
in Elizabeth, N. j.. which focused
national attention on the heavy
air traffic situation prevailing at
several Of the Nations airports.
But he wrote it is evident that
Ia present concern over the safety
factor is prompted perhaps by a
fear that. in some localities, the
industry and traffic have grown
too fast to he adequately handled
by available facilities"
Aviation Industry Concerned.
Mr.. Sasscer said the aviation
industry itself is concerned with
the heavy traffic load now moving
in and out of National.
1T might be remembered" he
added, that serious concern was
felt in 1949 for the safety of pas
sengers arriving and departing
from Washington National as well
as for residents of the area" To-
Gated in nearby Virginia. This
concern. he said, arose from the
accident in which IS persons died
when an airliner was struck by a
smaller plane.
"At that time" he declared
"the CAA (Civil Aeronautics Ad-
Iministration) was concerned over
the heavy traffic at Washington
National and, as a step to ease the
high public concern following the
accident, took steps to cut traffic. ~
Nearly rs Million Passengers.
Mr.. Sasscer said figures show
that traffic at National increased
from 165,033 movements carrying
1,386,687 passengers in 1949 to
186,747 movements carrying g.
458. .787 passengers in 1851.
He then cited a letter sent last
February 4 by Merrill F. Redfern,
executive secretary of the Air
Traffic Conference of America. a
division Of the Air Transport
Association. In this letter, which
Mr.. Sasscer said was addressed to
representatives throughout the
country, MIR. Redtern described
Friendship as ,one Of the three
finest in the country.
Cites Stacking Time.
AS to the greater distance of
Friendship from Washington, the
legislator wrote II feel that your
commission should be advised that
their Friendship facilities are
within 45 minutes travel time Of
the center of Washington" He
added:
.'On this point recommend
that you compare this figure with
the travel time from Washington
National Airport plus the average
stacking time over that airport.
Adding both ground travel time
and stacking time In arriving at
Washington National, you will
find there is no appreciable saw
ing Of time when comparing an
air trip to Washington through
Washington National to a trip
there through Friendship Inter-
national"

RICHMOND, Mar. 1.-Two COM
mittee of the General Assembly
have killed legislation by the Ar

eral Government employees to
serve on local governing bodies
and school boards.
The action was taken yesterday
by Senate General Laws Commit
tee and the House Courts of JUS
tice Committee. In both cases,
the prevailing attitude was the
legislation might affect suit now
pending in court, challenging the
right of Government employees to
serve on the Arlington County
Board.
The Senate group killed the bill
of Senator Charles r. Fenwick,
while the House committee acted
on an identical measure by Dele

1928 Act Challenged.
The pending suit was brought by
John Locke Green, former Arling-
ton treasurer, on behalf of six
county taxpayers. It challenges
the constitutionally of a 1928 Act,
which entities Government en-
ployes to hold local Offices in
Arlington.
The new legislation would have
applied this privilege generally to
all counties, thus getting around
the objection raised by Mr.. Green's
suit. that the privilege is a special
act.
Scarcely had Senator Fenwick
begun his argument for his bill,
when Senator Robert Y. Button
of Culpeper inquired, as the suit
still pending on this question in
Arlington?"
"Yes," Senator F'enwick replied,

say. urgently asked-to introduce
"a general law to replace the old

BOSTON. May 31.-Chicago's
White Sox scored their eighth
victory in nine starts today as the
veteran Marv Grissom came up
with a five-hit 7-3 victory over
the Red Sox.
The triumph moved Chicago to
within 212 games of the pace

White Sox trail the runner-up
Red Sox by one game and are only

Mele Starts 5-run Outburst.
Same Mele, former Red Sox
and Washington outfielder. was
the big gun in Chicago's attack
yesterday as he pounded out two
homers.
Mele hit his first four-bagger
in the fourth inning to give the
White Sox a 10 lead over Bos-
tons starter and loser, Ray Scar

to launch a five-run outburst in
the sixth inning.
After Sherm Lollar followed
Mele with a double, Scarborough
was replaced by Randy Gumpert.
The Red Sox had to call upon
two other pitchers to put down
the uprising, which had 10 Chi
Icago batters as participants.
Gumpert aggravated matters by
passing the first two men to face
him, thereby loading the bases.

The bases were still jammed
when O'clock gave way to Bill

in another Chicago tally and then
settled down fairly well for the
remainder of the game.
