Fairfax Supervisors
Say Dog Population
Increases Too Fast

Fairfax County is destroying
impounded dogs at the rate OF
nearly 1000 a year, but can't
catch up with the increasing
canine population, according to
a report to the Board of County
Supervisors.
County Executive Carlton c.
Massey told the board yesterday
155 dogs were impounded, IA re-
deemed, five sold and 1876 de-
stroyed last month.
$50 Killed Each Month.
Poundmaster Fred Ingle said
today he has been putting to
sleep about $50 a month with
carbon monoxide.
The number impounded is in
creasing each month, he said
but the county's dog population
keeps increasing, Mr.. Ingle said
Dogs are picked up as strays
or on complaint are taken to the
pound on Germantown road.
If the animal has a license
the owner is notified and has
five days to recover the dog. Five
days after impounding. dogs are
destroyed.
Some of the dogs have been
left out in the country by Dis
trict residents. Mr.. Ingle said
and some of the others have
been left in the county by peo-
pie who have moved away.
County Owned Stallion.
In other business, the super
visors named a committee to re-
port annually on the welfare of
Nabraff, the county-owned Ara
bian stallion.
Appointed were Joseph Beard
county agent; r. M. Loughbor-
ough, county purchasing agent
and Mrs. William Dillon, owner
of a stable in the county.
The supervisors also agreed to
have a study made of the pres
ent sanitation ordinance to in
clude changes recommended by

Arlington Expected to Drop
Other Charges in Church Case

Junior High School. Mr.. Round
tree was jury foreman.
The "black book" in which
Mr.. Springer listed church re-
ceipts was examined by the jury
In it, no reference to a $4,000
certificate of deposit was found
The certificate was recorded
however, in a bank statement
Mr.. McCauley said the record
Mr.. Springer kept of receipts
and disbursements was extreme
ly unorthodox.
During the trial, Oren r.
Lewis, defense attorney, had
contended discrepancies in
church fiscal records were the
result of faulty bookkeeping.
Mr.. Springer himself testified
he never converted any church
funds to his own use.
The Rev. Fred w. Gibson
pastor of the church, said today
There was never any argument
between Mr.. Springer and the
church that he should be cred
tied with the $4,000. During my
testimony, I brought out the
fact that the $4,000 should be
deducted from the amount that
could not be accounted for.
However. the church is satisfied
with the way the case has been
handled and does not want to
press further charges"

Residents of the area, banded
together as the Property Owners

consistent with assessments in
other counties of the State"

fore the County Appeals Tax
Court. Members of the associa-

for each $1,000 evaluation OF
their property to fight the sharp

area.
Protests over assessments
some repeatedly up so to 10C
per cent over the 1948 assess
ment-have been widespread in
the suburban area of the county
this year.

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. IA new
and powerful move to settle the
168-year-old Maryland Virginia
quarrel over Potomac River
oysters is under way in the Gen
eral Assembly.
A bill to legalize hand-dredg-
ing under the supervision of a
bi-State commission, vested with
broad powers, has been prepared
for introduction in the House by
Delegate John j. McNulty,
Democrat. of Anne Arundel
County.
The measure, which would
leave present Potomac fishing
laws unchanged, has the full
support of the Maryland Tide
water Fisheries Commission and
is said to be regarded favorably
by Gov. McKeldin.
Its language is identical with
that of an act passed by the
Virginia Assembly last year
Thus, Maryland approval would
give the joint concurrence re-
quired by the Compact of 1885,
Would Issue Dredges.
Accompanying the bill is a
separate proposal. under which
the bi-state commission would
issue numbered dredges no more
than 30-inches wide. All other
dredges would be banned in the
Potomac as would boats
equipped with masts. boomS,
winders or patent tongs. The
Potomac'S tributaries are not in
Guided in the plan.
Members of the Maryland
Fisheries Commission said ex-
listing Virginia law permits con-
currence with the separate bill
without further legislation.
Sources close to the Maryland
Fisheries group said its members
have disclaimed any connection
with a Potomac dredging bill
introduced in the Senate on
Monday.

6. 0. P. Enters Race
AGAINST Ex-Gov. Tuck
For Seat in House
By the Associated Press

STUART, Va, Mar. IA
tWo-man race was assured today
in Virginia's 5th District con-
gressional election next month
with the entry of Republican
Lorne Ross Campbell.
It was still uncertain, however,
whether the field would be
swelled to three candidates. A
group of self styled loyal
Democrats have threatened to
put up a nominee because of
their opposition to former Gov.
William M. Tuck, who was
picked as the regular Democratic
candidate last week.
Nick Prillaman, former Mayor
of Martinsville and a leader of
the loyalists, said today he
would confer with Common
wealth's Attorney Virgil Goode
of Franklin County, another
leader of the insurgent Demo-
cratic faction, in the next day
or two. At that time. said Mr..
Prillaman, they will decide
whether to make it a three way
race.
The Republicans tapped Mr..
Campbell, 43-year-old Grayson
County attorney, at their district
convention in this Patrick
County town yesterday. The de-
cision to nominate Mr.. Campbell
after considerable debate on
whether the party should enter
the race.
Some G.. o. P. members held
the view that it would be unwise
to oppose Mr.. Tuck, who failed
to indorse the Democratic presi-
Dental ticket last fall and was
credited with swinging a num-
Der of votes into the Eisenhower
column.
