Secession at oRuIinqo on Offices

Secession FROM Virginia, to be

Falls Church, within cannonade
earshot Of Washington.
But more level heads say the

Something more proSaic, like q

City Planners Oppose
Row Houses in New
Alexandra Region

The question of row-house de-
velopment in Alexandria S recently
annexed area of Fairfax County
appears headed for a showdown
before the City Council next
month.
The City Planning Commission
last night voted to oppose a re-
zoning which would permit row
housing on the south side of Duke
street opposite the Shirley-Duke
apartments. The commission sue
cessfully opposed the same pro-
posal last May when a master zon-
ing plan was adopted for the
annexed region.
But Leroy S. Bendheim, city
councilman and chairman of the
councils Housing Committee, said
today he will vote for rezoning and
will urge other members to do the
same.
Council Personnel Changes.
Mr.. Bendheim said a study by
the Alexandria Redevelopment
and Housing Authority indicates
the city soon faces a crisis in
providing medium priced housing.
He said he voted for the re-
zoning when it was suggested for
inclusion in the master zoning
plan but lost by a 4-to-2 vote.
Mr.. Bendheim added the pro-
posed rezoning may receive favor
able action this time since the
council has three new members.
The council will hold a public
hearing on the rezoning issue Oc-
tober z. The request involves ap-
proximately 81 acres of land
fronting on Duke street for about
a third Of a mile. It lies between
Old Mill road and Donmanton
boulevard.
Seen Crucial Case.
The rezoning fight is regarded
as crucial case. since the plan
ming commission has held out
against any row-house develop
ment in the annexed area.
Mr.. Bendheim said the planning
commissions attitude concerning
row housing is ultra-conservative,
reactionary and against the best
interest of the CITY,"
The planning commission main
tanned that the rezoning would in
crease the population density of
the land by so per cent and cause
a heavy burden in the capital ex-
penditures items of the city
budget.

lines into their development.
The sanitary commission ha.
tentatively set the conference fol

ton.
Refusal Seemed Likely.
Chances are the association anC
residents of the area, which lies
just east Of Georgia avenue. will
turn down the closed session offer
according to Harold L. Brill, vice
president OF the group.
The group wants a full-scale
public airing Of the problem, not
just a conference with the COM
mission. They note they have
been trying for three years to gel
Ia hearing on their sewer needs
Philip Marcus, chairman of the
associations public utilities COM
mittee, said representatives of the
Allied Civic Group of Silver
Spring and the County Civic Fed
Grafton. also want to attend the
hearing.
Mr.. Marcus said the associa-
ton has employed a sanitary
engineer. and the group thinks
he also should be allowed to at

wants county health authorities
in on the discussions.
Will Meet Tomorrow.
The civic group committee and
representatives from the Arcola
avenue area will meet tomorrow
night at Mr.. Marcus home to de-
eide, whether they will fight for a
public hearing or accept the closed
conference.
The commission has estimated
the cost Of the sewer line extern
sion to the some 100 homes as
high as 100000. The cost is ex-
cessive in view of the small size
of the development. the commits
sion says. -.--.~-
The association contends, how
ever, the commission estimates are
high. The group says the extern
sions covering the main portions
of the area where septic tanks
have proved imperative would
cost less than $188, 900. The new
sewers, they add. would attract
more home builders into the area
to help defray the cost.

Work Proceeds
On Alexandria
Sewage Plans
Details Of Creating
Authority Pushed to
Comply With Order

Activity proceeded along two
lines In Alexandria today to sat-
lisfy the Virginia State Water
Control Boards demand for
prompt construction of sewage
disposal facilities.
Legal details of creating an au-
thority to finance and administer
the sewage system were being
pushed by City Attorney v. Floyd
Williams. Engineers meanwhile
started bringing construction plans
up to date.
Rough Draft Prepared.
Mr.. Williams said a rough draft
|of an ordinance to create the
sanitation authority already had
been prepared. He said he was
working with bond attorneys to
make sure all provisions of the
proposed ordinance are legally
sound.
Since Alexandria's authority
would be the first under legisla-
tion passed by the 1850 Virginia
General Assembly. the State Cor
poration Commission also has
asked to be in on preparation of
the ordinance before it goes to
the city council. Mr.. Williams
said he hoped the ordinance could
be ready for council action in a
month.
Once approved by the city coun-
Gil, the authority ordinance then
goes back to the State Corporation
Commission for official action. As
tual creation Of the authority rests
with the sec. Alexandria's bond
advisers recommend creation of
an authority as the quickest and
best way to finance and operate
the sewage disposal system. Bonds
issued by the authority would not
affect the bonded debt limit of
the city.
Barring unexpected delays, city
officials believe the authority can
be created, bonds issued and a
construction contract awarded in
four months.
Mr.. Williams said alternate pro-
visions are being prepared for the
ordinance so Fairfax County can
contract to use Aleaxndria's sew
age disposal plant. A regional
sewage survey showed that Alexs
andria and Fairfax could save
more than 81 million by joint ac-
ton.
Plans Being Revised.
Thomas K. Niles of the engi-
neerlng firm of Greeley & Hansen
has started to revise construction
plans. Alexandria has had plans
since 1946. The project includes
two major intercepting sewers and
a disposal plant on Hunting Creek.
Annexation and changes in pop
ulation make the revisions neces-
sary. city officials said.
Mr.. Niles believes the engineer
ing work can be completed in four
months. If Fairfax County de-
cides to join in use of the plant,
engineers say. it would take only
a short time to change the plans
accordingly.
The water board yesterday told
the city it wanted two progress
reports in the next so days. Mean
while. the water board is continu-
ing any final action against the
city. Alexandria was called before
the water board to explain why a
sewage disposal system wasn't in
operation by last July l as pre-
viously ordered.

They Won't Be Beaten

RAILWAY. N. j., April 23.-Re-

Prison Farm surrendered meekly
to authorities late yesterday, end
ing a f1ve-day mutiny.
The 231 rebels. who had been
barricaded in a dormitory wing
for almost lis hours, gave up
after freeing eight guards they
held as hostages.
Unshaven and haggard, the
convicts shuff1ed slowly in pairs
out of the building from which
they earlier had shouted defiance
to prison authorities.
Won't Be Whipped.
Just prior to their surrender
the rebels pulled down crudely
lettered bedsheet signs which
hung outside the dormitory win
dows and burned them.
In statement from Trenton
after the convicts gave up to
authorities. the New Jersey De-

"The settlement includes the
same agreement stipulated by the

themselves"
These were the convicts' two
major demands.
Treated Well, Hostage Saws.
AS the mutineers filed from the
debris-littered building they were
trisked by guards, taken for
physical checkups and then sent
to a prison drill hall to spend the
night.
I'm damned glad to be out of
