Northern Virginia communities
are experiencing an outbreak OF
measles which already has re-
suited in more than 900 cases o1
the communicable disease since
January /.
The area accounts for a large
part of the 5000 measles cases
reported to State health author
lities so far this year.
Maryland also reported an In
crease over last year in the number
lof measles cases reported so far in
1852. Montgomery County lists 272
leases compared to 102 for the COM
parable period of 1851. Prince
Georges has had 95 cases reported
so far, this year, slightly higher
than for the comparable period Of
1851.
The State Of Maryland as q
whole has had almost 5000 cases
reported for 1852 as Of last week,
with the highest concentration In
the Baltimore area, the State
Health Department reported. Al
though the incidence admittedly
is hing, a department spokesman
said. it certainly has not vet
reached an alarming stage. Mary
land has had as many as 100000
cases in one year, he added.
The disease is apparently ramp
ant in Fairfax, where about 400
cases have been reported to the
health department. Officials had
mo total figure for measles cases
last year in Fairfax.
Arlington's 81 cases so far this
year have already passed the total
Iof "a which it experienced in
1881. In Alexandria over so cases
were reported for January and
February, though officials believe
THE disease will not be as wide

Oversight in Charter
Blocks Hopes 10 Elect
Mayor in Alexandra

An oversight at the recent ses-
sion of the Virginia General
Assembly has thwarted Alex
|andria's hopes of having an Of
|ficial election for mayor and vice
mayor June 2
The situation came to light
yesterday when city officials dis
covered to their disappointment
that no emergency clause was
tackled on Alexandria charter
amendments which the General
Assembly approved.
One Of these amendments pro-
vides that the mayor and vice
mayor be the councilmen receiv-
ing the most number Of votes In
the general election. This method
was favored by the voters in a
referendum last fall.
But without the emergency
clause, the charter amendments
do not. take effect until June 28
nearly four weeks after the
general election. An emergency
clause would have made the
amendments effective immediately
time for the election.
Mr.. Boothe and CITY Attorney
". Floyd Williams said the elec-
ton apparently would be gov
|erned, therefore. by the charter
provisions as they were before
the amendments. That is, the
seven elected members Of council
will choose their own mayor and
vice mayor.
The method never has been
used because it was adopted just
two years ago after the present
council was elected. The present
council, including the mayor and
vice mayor. was chosen under the
same procedure to which the city
will return when the amendments
take effect.
Mr.. Boothe and Mayor Franklin
n. BackuS. who is candidate for
re-election to the council. do not
think the rnix-up was too serious.
however. They both feel council
men elected this June win choose
the candidates receiving the most
votes for mayor and vice mayor.
Mr.. Boothe said he thought the
drafting bureau Of the House had
added an emergency clause to
the charter amendments. but ap-
|parently 1t was overlooked. He
said he had not noticed it until
called to his attention after the
ASSEMBLY adjourned.

In his meeting with the Sea-

that the purpose of his visit was
not to hold public hearings or to
discuss the matter with land
spectators but by small informal
gatherings to become acquainted
with the resident land owners
around the villages. He wants to
learn their thoughts about the
Seashore and also to tell them of
his plans and ideas regarding the
establishment of the Park. He has
said that he wants to meet all
interested land owners and dis
cuss mutual problems with them.
1t is hoped that this exchange
of ideas will end much of the

the plans of the National Park

that in this role he would be able
to erase the bad impression he had
made before.
Evidence leaking from executive
sessions of the Chief committee
indicated that he was doing fine
He was poised and for the most
part calm when he began to testi-
fly for the public record. But by

had said his piece in full, he haG
become, as one reporter noted
sometimes funny, f gu n t !

Elizabeth City Independents Starr

If you have an invitation to visit
a friend and eat mess of grapes
from a Scuppernong vine, they
tell US you'd better get there as
early as possible, or you'll be out
of luck.
Scuppernong grapes, of which
there is no finer that grows, are
ripening fast this year and are
not lingering on the vine, accord
ing to information given US. This
is probably due to the long, hot
and dry summer. The grapes are
said to be smaller than usual, but
the quality and flavor doesn't seem
to be impaired. They started get
ting ripe early and all seem to be
ripening at the same time, instead
