Wilson Says Draft
May Be Cut IS Pct.
After Truce Siqninq

A truce in Korea might allow
the armed services to reduce
monthly draft calls as much as
IS per cent, Secretary of Defense
Wilson believes.
He told news conference
yesterday that within approx
mately 80 days after a truce it
might be possible to cut the rate
from the present $4,000 to $4,000
or $4,000 a month.
However, Mr.. Wilson's forecast
did not jibe with Maj. Gen. Lewis
B. Hershey's predictions. Gen.
Hershey. national selective serv-
ice director, said Monday in Lin
coin, Nebr., that a sharp increase
in draft call-ups is probable be-
fore long.
Last night at Cheyenne, Wyo.,
Gen. Hershey declined direct
comment on Mr.. Wilson's state
ment, But he said a Korean
truce would have little effect on
draft calls in the long run.
Gen. Hershey said many men
are due for release from the
armed services next year. Others
will have to be indicted to take
their place, he said, adding that
voluntary enlistments might be
affected eff the Korean business
should calm down"
Secretary Wilson himself eau
toned that enlistments would
have to remain at present rates
to bring about a draft call cut.
The secretary said that as
long as this country must main
tain a military force of around
3.5 million personnel, he cannot
foresee the day when Selective
Service can be abandoned.
Mr.. Wilson also expressed the
opinion that the chances for a
truce were reasonably good
perhaps as good as it has at any
time during the last two years. "

He said:
I'm my opinion. this situation
has been permitted to exist for
too many years. The entire
Maryland congressional delega-

consistently endeavored to &C
centuate the severity of these
conditions and the vital i'm

II feel strongly that the ad-
ministration and Congress must
again assume cognizance of the
entire matter. 1 vigorously urge
you to include funds for this

Mr.. Rover said he had no way
of knowing whether the as

who handed out the sentence.

that it was his opinion that if
Judge Myers had been given the

of a fine. The prosecutor said
that Judge Myers is lone of our
finest judges and one whose
ability and integrity are of the

The check-up will be made by
new department of tax inspec-

visor and four tax auditors, was
recommended by the Citizens
Advisory Tax Commission and
approved by the City Council.
City Manager Ira Willard an
nounced that the new inspectors
will concentrate first on check
ing business and professional
license returns. Then they'll
visit homes to check on personal
property returns of individual
taxpayers. Such scrutiny is ex-
pected to yield an additional

year.

Alexandra Presses
Fairfax for Pact on
Joint Sewer Plan
By Mary Lou Werner

The Alexandria Sanitation Au-
thority today prodded the Board
of Fairfax County Supervisors to
speed up completion of an agree
ment between the two jurisdic-
tons for joint use of sewage dis
posal facilities.
A resolution adopted by the
authority last night was pre-
sented to the supervisors today
as they met in special session to
consider a variety of sewer prob
lens.
The authority said it was con-
cerned about the lack of prog
ress being made toward the con-
summation of a mutually salts
factory agreement"
The authority asked the su-
pervisors to give the problem i'm
mediate attention and notify the
authority of any action by August
18. On that date, the authority
said, it would evaluate the situa-
ton land determine whether it
should proceed with the develop
ment of its program as now pro-
posed (joint use) or modify it to
exclude consideration of the
needs of Fairfax County"
Pact Needed.
The supervisors have indicated
their desire to share in the new
Alexandria sewage disposal sys-
tenn about to be constructed, and
working plans already are be-
ing prepared accordingly. All
that remains to clinch the joint
deal is preparation of a neces-
Sary written pact between Alex
andria and Fairfax.
The authority said attorneys
for both jurisdictions met on
May 7 and agreed to prepare
drafts of the necessary agree
ment. Counsel for the authority
have prepared several drafts of
a proposed agreement and sub
mitted copies to Fairfax, but no
proposed agreements have been
received from Fairfax counsel,
the authority said.
The authority said it only re-
Gently received brief comments
from Fairfax counsel about the
proposed agreements submitted
by authority counsel.
Cheaper if Combined.
Fairfax and Alexandria de-
cided to share new sewage dis
posal facilities because it would
be cheaper for both jurisdictions
than to proceed independently.
Engineers say the total cost of
joint Alexandria Fairfax sys-
tenn will be $9.5 million, with
Fairfax paying $3.l million and
Alexandria paying $6.4 million.
The total cost of separate
projects to serve Alexandria and
the same portion of Fairfax
County would be $11.9 million.
The cost to Alexandria would be
$7.3 million and to Fairfax, $4.6
million.

School Funds Sought

Prince Georges County may
build four new elementary
schools with $1.3 million still
available from the State credit
pool.
The County Board of Educa-
ton yesterday was authorized to
ask the State to include that
amount in it's next school bond
issue. But the County Com
missioners stipulated that the
action doesn't necessarily mean
they will apply for the loan.
If it does. however, the money
would be used for projected
schools in Landover Hills, Ager
road, Morningside and Langley
Park areas. 1t also would ex-
haust the county's eligibility to
borrow State funds under
present laws.
