School Plans Made
For Handicapped

Plans for expanding the edu-
cation of handicapped children
in Fairfax County were made
yesterday by special committee
of school officials and parents.
The committee adopted a Sc
rieS Of recommendations which
are to be presented to the school
board at its first meeting in
September.
Recommended for immediate
action we're:
/. Expansion of the existing
handicapped children's school in
Falls Church to accommodate 60
children, instead of the 18 who
were taken care of there during
the past year.
2. Examination of all handi-
capped children who can be To-
Gated to determine whether they
can be educated or whether they
should be subject only to simple
training.
8. Establishment of a class for
handicapped children at some
existing school in Mount Vernon
District for about 18 children
who attended regular classes
during the past year.
For future consideration, the
committee recommended:
l. Establishment of a central
school for the training of badly
handicapped children, possibly
in the abandoned Spring Hill
School.
2. Operation of special classes
In existing schools for handi-
capped children who may be
capable of receiving a regular
education.
8. Construction of new school
adjacent to the new health GEN.
ter for children with serious
orthopedic handicaps. The
county's last school bond issue,
which it tied up in litigation,
has $154,000 included for such
a school.

In Marshall Hall Tournament

"I've ridden here since I was a
little girl, and I've just kept on
aiming to win"

could recall, no other woman has
ever led a professional field here
before.
A. D. Langley of Arlington,
Va, a top lancer of yore and
longtime promoter of the sport,
said:
"This proves there's nothing
the ladies can't do"

teurs, which included one girl,
Miss Elaine Tucker of Frederick
County. He took home $25 and

roe, Republican, of Charles
County, charged the knights and
presented trophies to the win
ners. Mrs. S. S. Small of South
ern Prince Georges County

September | Picked
By Takoma Park for
Housing Dead|ine

A new deadline of September
/ has been set for the registra-
tion of rooming houses and
apartments In Takoma Park.
Meeting in special session last
night, the Takoma Park City
Council set the new date. The
deadline had been July Is but
registrations apparently Jagged.
Mayor Ross H. Beville, who
just returned from a Canadian
vacation. said in view of the ap-
parent misunderstanding on the
part of many citizens he called
the special meeting last night to
fix a definite date.
The measure was adopted
February 9 and amended July
6 After much controversy it
was approved the second time
last March. In order to meet
some of the objections the rates
were reduced and other modi-

a rooming house the rate was
set at SIS if rooms were rented
to not more than four persons;
$40 for not more than IL per-
sons, and more than that num-
ber, SIS. ,....
The inspection clause as f.
nally adopted provided that the
owner or lessee would permit
reasonable inspection of the
premises by duly authorized
city representatives. There were
about 1,50O units and when the
July Is deadline was reached
only 106 applicants had filed.
The number has been slowly in
creasing since Peter Remsen was
appointed inspector of buildings.
The registrations have reached
approximately 400, but with the
new date this number is ex-
pected to increase.

Fairfax Officials Seek
Bus Safety Controls

Fairfax County officials today
we're trying to determine whether
the county or the State of Vir-
ginia has adequate power to en-
force safety controls over private
school buses.
Mrs. Anne Wilkins. supervisor
from Falls Church District,
asked County Executive c. C.
Massey to study the matter at
yesterdays Board of County
Supervisors meeting.
Mrs. Wilkins asked the admin
iStrative officer also to determine
the feasibility of obtaining nee
esSary powers if adequate county
or State powers do not exist.
The supervisor referred to an
accident near Rockville, Md,
last month in which a day-camp
bus. operated by a 17-year-old
boy. ran off the road. killing one
and injuring nine of its passen-
gers. Mrs. Wilkins said she read
where Montgomery County was
taking steps to regulate private
school bus operations as a re-
suit of the accident.

Tract Rezoned
For $40 Million
Project
Reversal Clears
Plans for 2,756
Units in Lundoyer

The way was clear today for
construction of a $40 million
residential development on a
450-acre tract in Landover, Md.
The Prince Georges County
commissioners yesterday re-
versed an earlier decision and
granted planned community zon-
ing to the Frank Development
Co., Inc, 1923 l. street NV,
which plans to build 2,756 hous-
ing units on the triangle formed
by George Palmer highway and
Landover and Sheriff roads.
The proposed project also in
cludes a large shopping center
at Palmer highway and Sheriff
road and a smaller local COM
mercial center in the middle of
the development.
School and Park Acreage.
State Senator John r. Fletch-
er, Republican, of Prince Georges,
attorney for the developers, said
% acres of the tract have been
turned over to the County School
Board and 81 acres have been
given to the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission for recreation areas.
The commissioners had turned
down the zoning application
when it first came before them
on May 81. More than 500 per-
sons emphatically opposed the
application at that time.
If there were any opponents
in the small crowd in the County
Service Building at Hyattsville
when. the application came up
for rehearing yesterday, they did
not show themselves.
Mr.. Fletcher said the owning
interest in the project has
changed hands since the May
hearing and that major objec-
tions of the opponents have been
removed. A Minneapolis-St. Paul
construction corporation was the
major owning interest at the
time Of the first hearing.
Sees 10000 Population.
Fred w. Tuemmler, planning
consultant for the Frank De-
velopment Co., said present plans
for the community, to be known
as Palmer Park, call for 1,198
garden-type apartments, 528
triple-attached buildings, 866
semidetached apartments and
164 single homes. They will sell
for from $4,000 to $13,5O0 a unit.
He estimated the population of
the development when completed
will be nearly 10000.
The commissioners vote on the
application yesterday was unani-
nous. In moving approval, Com
missioner Daniel A. Abbott said:
Evidently Mr.. Fletcher and
Mr.. Tuemmler have been work.
ing very hard. 1t seems that
they have eradicated every single
objection"

10 Vote
InDecember on
Sewer Bonds
$17.5 Million Seen
Needed for System
Throughout County

Fairfax County plans to hold
a SITS million bond issue
referendum early in December
to finance an integrated sewer
system for all developed areas of
the county.
This was disclosed yesterday,
when several Annandale resi-
dents asked the Board of County
Supervisors about proceeding
with an independent sewer sys-
tenn for that area alone. Plans
for the Annandale area are
about three-fourths complete.
County Executive c. C. Massey
advised the Annandale repre-
sentatives, w. G. Wills and
Douglas Adams, that it would be
better for Annandale to await
results of the referendum for the
countrywide sewer system. Since
the Annandale plans are not
quite ready, he said it probably
would cause no delay.
Sewer facilities for Annandale
are contemplated in the inte-
grated county plan. The county
last month received engineers
reports of the entire county'S
existing sewer needs, totaling
SITS million. The proposed bond
issue probably would be repaid
by revenues collected for sewer
services.
Welfare Budget Approved.
The supervisors approved q
proposed county welfare budget
for the coming biennium. The
proposed 1953-54 budget is $348,-
1872 and for 1856 is $50 ,445.
Miss Frances Duffey, superin-
tendent of public welfare, ex-
planned that the budgets have
to be prepared now before the
forthcoming session of the Gen.
eral Assembly which appropri-
ates the States share of welfare
funds. The budget approved by
the supervisors yesterday may
be changed by the State Depart
ment of Welfare in preparing
it's budget for the General AS
sembly, and also may be changed
by the General Assembly.
The proposed 1954-55 budget
is about $4,000 above the cur.
rent one, and the proposed 1885,
Sc budget is more than $51, 900
higher than this years.
Foster Care Higher.
Miss Duffey said most of the
increase is needed to provide
foster care for children. She
said the county needs to raise
its payments to foster homes
and also can expect more chill
dren in foster homes. The in
creased budgets also would pro-
vide new social workers on the
child welfare staff, one new SUI
perviSor and one new clerk.
The supervisors voted to ad-
vertise for construction bids on
the proposed new county garage
and dog shelter, to be erected on
the site of the old dog shelter
on Germantown road about four
miles west of Fairfax. The main
tenance garage will combine fa-
cilities for school motor equip
ment and other county vehicles.
The school garage presently il
maintained separately.

tation ordinance was adopted.

able does not mean that God
only reason for doing things is be
