man said Mr.. Johnson's black

the parking lot Sunday, but was
seen there Monday night.
The car, parked where thou
sands of persons pass every day
was not in Mr.. Johnson's Gus
tomary parking lane, No. So, but
was found in lane 81.
This led to the assumption
that the killer knew generally
where Mr.. johnson kept his car
but did not know the exact spot
Upholstery Stain Analysed.
A red spot found in the front
seat of the car was being tested
to determine if it was blood.
Mr.. johnson had worked as an
Army mail clerk since 1912, ex-

the same capacity as a staff

The Virginia Supreme Court,

asked for an attorney for the
Arlington School Board today to

a pending case SO construction
of schools in the county will not
be interrupted.
Attorney Armistead L. Boothe,
representing the School Board;
wrote Chief Justice Edward w.
Hudgins, urging the court to act
on request by Attorney John
Locke Green for a rehearing.
The court last month ruled
against Mr.. Green in dismissing
a suit he brought to oust three
Federal employees from the board.
Last week, Mr.. Green filed a re-
quest for a rehearing. which,

At Camp Goodwill, where there
are 1913 campers, one meal can
do away with IS pounds of po-
tatoes, so pounds of hamburger,
or 80 pounds of tuna fish.
In the first days at camp,
many stomach aches pop up.
Kids who don't get enough to eat

, camp fare. After their Stomachs
stretch a little, the tummy-acheS
disappear.
Candy bars, ice cream and salt

Nurse Cares for Kids.
- Medical care is good at the
camps. A registered nurse and
an aide are on duty at each one.
They cope with such natural
consequences of life in the open
as blisterS, cut toes, poison ivy,
mosquito bites and sunburn.
More serious troubles, like pink
eye, and toothache, are rushed
to Washington or nearby Guam
tico for treatment.
AS S. John Crawley, in charge
of both camps, explains it, there
is an extra value added to this
thorough-going program.
Each campers file, forwarded
by the agency which recon-
mended his acceptance, assists
the counsellors in helping the
kids with things that are not
within the province of an or

Fairfax County Held
Fastest Growing in
D. T.. Suburban Area

Fairfax County can expect
the most rapid growth of any
community in the Metropolitan
area during the next 81 years
as families move away from
Washington in search of su-
burban homes.
This was predicted last night
by DR.. Homer Hoyt, economic
analyst, who is conducting a
financial and land use survey
of the county. He presented the
first portion of his study to the
Board of County Supervisors
and the Planning Commission.
According to DR.. Hoyt, Fairfax
County's population will reach
100000 by 1880, more than dou-
Bile the current total of 1873, 900.
No other suburban area ap-
proaches such a big percentage
increase. During the same pc
ROD he foreSees an increase from
257,101 to 435,00O in Prince
Georges County, from 229,275 to
$4,000 in Montgomery County
from 154,475 to 10000 in Ar
lington and from 86,567 to 49,
600 in Alexandria.
While these suburban areas
are growing, DR.. Hoyt predicts
the District population will de-
cline from the present 831,382
to 100000 in 1880.
Expects 1.9 Million Population.
For the entire Metropolitan
Area, DR.. Hoyt anticipates a
total population of 1.9 million
by 1860 and 81 million in 1880.
He believes that Fairfax County
will account for more than IA
per cent of this total metropoli-
tan population by 1880.
DR.. Hoyt lists four major
reasons why Fairfax should at
tract so many new residents.
l. Fairfax has the greatest
amount of vacant land suitable
for residential development
within 80 minutes driving time
of the White House. The heavi-
est centerS of Government en-
ployment are close to Virginia.
2. Real estate taxes in Fairfax
County are relatively lower than
those of other counties near
Washington.
3. Virginia has no sales tax.
4. About $1,000 persons are
employed at the Pentagon and
5000 work at other Federal in
stallations in Virginia near Fair
fax County.
Lists Drawbacks.
DR.. Hoyt mentioned some
drawbacks to residential develop
ment in Fairfax County. They
include:
Traffic moves slowly over the
Potomac River bridges during
rush hoursi Virginia has a much
higher State income tax rate
than Maryland; there is no
water and sewer commission to
provide necessary sanitation ia
cilities, and there is the "wide-
spread opinion" that Maryland
schools are better than Vir-
ginia'S.
But DR.. Hoyt believes the ad-
vantageS outweigh the disad-
vantages of moving to Fairfax
County and expects Fairfax to
attract 80 per cent of the total
metropolitan growth through
1880.
Single-family homes and small
estates will account for most of
the county's increase in dwell
ing units, according to DR.. Iioyt.
He believes some large apart
ment clusters will be built on
throughways like Shirley high
way-"but these will constitute
not over 10 per cent of all new
living units"
The population estimates are
based on DR.. Hoyt's expectations
that Federal employment gradu-
ally will increase in the future
after the current Republican
economy wave is over. He pre-
diets that Federal employment
in Washington will rise from
225.000 in 1854 to 250,o00 in
1860; 260. 900 in 1870 and 265, 900
in 1880.

Smith Finds Support
As He Tells Council
Budget is Inadequate

Montgomery County's contro-
versial economy" budget yes
terday was blasted as entirely in
adequate by Councilman Lathrop
E. Smith.
Two other council members
also conceded they felt the coun-
Gil had pared a little too much
off requests of the school board
and other department heads.
The criticisms from within the
council preceded unanimous
adoption of the budget and a
last-minute blast from the school
board.
Despite the record breaking
1858 million capital and op-
Grating budget appropriation, Mr..
Smith warned that the quality
of government is bound to suf-
fer"
Sees Misjudgment.
The councilman also accused
his fellow officials as grossly
misjudging the feelings of the
people"
Mrs. Stella B. Werner and
Harold F. Hammond argued they
felt another cent and a half
to 2 cents on the $1.89 tax rate
would have handled increases
they felt should have been made.
Mrs. Werner added she feared
the council next year may be
forced to raise the tax rate.
Former County Manager Irving
G. McNayr submitted his budget
in April which he said he felt
the majority of residents and the
council had wanted held to a
bare minimum.
AS a result, a minority group
of the council has controlled the
budget, since all increases over
Mr.. McNayr's recommendations
required a flve-to-two vote.
School Cuts Assailed.
The School Board yesterday
issued an eight-page statement
at the council session aSsailing
cuts in teachers salary requests
fuel, buses, custodians' pay and
school construction funds.
This council" Mr.. Smith
said, lis creating a virtually i'm
possible situation for the School
Board"
Mr.. Smith denied charges
the council has been "extrava-
CANT and free spending" He
added he would defy any one to
find a more efficient or better
governed county in the country
"A government is judged by
its health. welfare and education
programs" Mr.. Smith said, "yet
these are the first items we have
cut. We are losing ground"
Mr.. Smith added that he felt
the council had disregarded the
wishes of the friends of the
council-manager form of gov
ernment and the present council.
Cut Not Willingly Accepted.
H. Stanley Stine, school board
president. made it clear the
school board did not willingly
accept the nearly 81 million
slashed from it's requests.
He added the $3.2 million cut
from requests for school con-
struction funds may hasten the
return of double sessions, over
crowded classrooms and use of
substanard facilities.
He said the cut means 10
classrooms to handle 1000 ele-
mentary children will have to be
withdrawn from school plans.
The results of this cut he said
will be felt in 1855.
The school board also chided
the council for not asking the
board TO explain its estimates
and policies after they had been
attacked at budget hearings.

County Heads Name
Groups To Study Jail,
Maryland City Plans
By J. 1. MichoeI

A committee to study proposals
for the long-projected Maryland
City and another to plan county
jail improvements have been ap-
pointed by the Prince Georges
commissioners.
Both groups were named yes
terday at Upper Marlboro in i'm
plementations of laws enacted
by the last General Assembly.
One of the statutes directs the
commissioners to select COM
mittee to probe problems in
volved in projected incorporation
of urban northern sections of the
county into a single municipal
| ity.
The other gave them discre-
tionary power to sell an 100000
bond issue to enlarge the pres
ent county-seat jail or to erect
a new building in Upper Marl-
boro or at another location.
Recommended by Beall.
Members of the Jail commit
tee are Circuit Judge Charles G.
Marbury. States Attorney Car
lyle j. Lancaster, Thomas E.
Latimer, chairman of the Com
missioners Board; Maj. F. Allen
Richards, superintendent of
county police: John F. Lillard,
sr., and Ralph w. Powers, at
torneys; Walter F. Mulligan,
president of the county civic fed
Grafton, and Mrs. Felix Cristo-
fame, Bladensburg civic leader.
They were recommended by
Sheriff Carlton G.. Beall, who
has made an exhaustive study
of the jail problem and will aid
the committee in an advisory ca
pacity.
Location for Study.
The committee will study the
question of the jail's location in
the light of the fact that a new
county police headquarters
building is under construction in
Seat Pleasant.
Merger of incorporated and
unincorporated areas of the
county adjacent to the District
has been a civic dream for gen.
erations. The county Chamber
of Commerce spanked the move
which resulted in legislation
authorizing the forthcoming
study.
Deadline on Report.
The committee is to report it's
conclusions by December /, 1854.
Harry A. Boswell, jr., a COM
merce chamber leader, will head
the committee until it's members
select chairman. He was nomi-
mated by Commissioner w.

The table works out very SIM
ply. For example, it shows that a
gallon Of oil ought to produce
about $4,000 BTUs in average
house heating. If you can buy
fuel oil for IL cents a gallon, you'll
get better than a million BTUs
per dollar from Oil, according to
this Oregon State formula. cat
IL cents per gallon you get 81s
gallons per dollar. or 8s times
$4,000 BTUs). Then you COM
pare the heat per dollar for each
other fuel on the same basis.
But you have to consider the
practical aspect Of handling the
fuel. Wood is good fuel, giving
quick heat. On a farm with wood
lands, it's low in cost. But it calls
for big storage space. heavy han
ding and constant attention to it's
fire. Coal needs bin. Oil needs
a storage tank. Usually the most
economical fuels are bulky.
Weighing all of these factors
against costs, you can decide on
the fuel you like. When this is
done you can consider the type Of
heating plant you want.
