A completely new system Of
election precincts in Fairfax
County is being prepared for pres
entation to the Circuit Court.
after winning approval Of the
Board Of County Supervisors
yesterday.
The new system provides AZ
precincts. compared with the
former system Of 40 precincts.
The Electoral Board prepared
a map Of the new precincts, and
the supervisors approved it with
one minor revision. The super
visors instructed the planning
and coming office to prepare writ
ten descriptions Of the new pre-
cinct boundaries so they can be
presented to the Circuit Court for
formal approval.
Mrs. Gladys Isdell, general
registrar for the county, said all
former precinct boundaries are
changed. in the new system.
Establishment Of new precinct
boundaries was required because
the county was divided into seven
new magisterial districts last
summer.
Break Up Larger Precincts.
The Electoral Board made fur
ther changes than those required
by redictricting. however, to
break down some Of the larger
precincts and speed coming in
areas where previous elections
have seen long lines Of waiting
voters.
It is planned to have the new
boundaries officially established
in time for the July congress
sional primary.
The supervisors were advised
by Commemorative Attorney
Hugh Marsh that the only way
school construction and main
tenance can be placed under the
county department Of public
works is through a request Of
the School Board. He was asked
to look into the idea last week.
at the suggestion of Mrs. Anne
wilkins. supervisor from George
Mason district. Mr.. Marsh said
he found no authority for the
to place school con-
struction under the public works
department. unless the School
Board requested the transfer.
Mrs. H. c. Crowther, School
Board chairman. when notified
Of the supervisors discussion,
said the School Board has never
considered the proposal. All
school construction and main
tenance currently is handled by
the school administration.
No Construction Tax.
The supervisors received an
other opinion from Mr.. Marsh
that he could find no authority
for the imposition Of a construc-
ton tax on new houses. He had
been asked to investigate the
idea at the suggestion Of the
School Board and supervisors.
An ALLEGATION Of $3.50 for new
civil defense equipment was au-
thorized by the supervisors on
request Of Inspector H. T.
Magarity. civil defense co-ordi-
nator. Most of the allocatioh is
to be spend for equipping 10
stations which are to
be located in schools throughout
the county. The money also will
provide four warning sirens and
mobile radio equipment.
The supervisors voted to adj
vertiSe an amendment to the
coming law that would require
gravel pit operators to post
81 900 bond to guarantee that
the sides Of the gravel pits will
be left properly graded and wa
ter holes will be drained when
they no longer are being used
for gravel.

Council Hears Views
On RedeVe|opment,
Sets Vote for July Is

A spark of life still burned
today in Alexandria's redevelop-
ment plan.
Mayor Marshall j. Beverley
did his best to snuff it out last
night at the end of a five-hour
hearing attended by more than
500 citizens in George Washing
ton High School.
A majority of the council
agreed, however, to postpone a
decision until the regular meet
ing on July is.
Councilman Daniel Fairfax
O'Flaherty protested to Vice
Mayor Leroy s. Bendheim. who
favored the postponement, that
IT have had all that this body
and soul can stand"
Only Mayor Beverley and Mr..
O'Flaherty opposed a motion to
defer action.
: j Councilmen James M. Duncan,
jr., and John Ewald said they
were ready to vote, but they said
they appreciated the position Of
Councilman David S. Haddock,
who said he was not ready to
vote.
Mr.. Haddock said the council
had acted hastily on important
matters in the past and he was
not going to be ''pressured into
a vote"
During the long hearing the
sweltering audience and council
men heard supporters and OPP
ponents of the plan toss in all
their arguments. most of them
we'll known and often repeated
in the bitter debate that has
ragged since the plan was an
nounced.

Committee Approves
Group Life Insurance
For Federal Workers
By Joseph Young

The Senate Civil Service Com
mittee today approved legislation
to provide group life insurance
benefits for Government en-
ployes.
Besides Federal workers, the
committees bill would include
members Of Congress, legislative
and judicial employees. and Dis
trict government workers, in
GLIDING police and firemen.
The committee vote was unan-
imous. However. several Demo-
cratic Senators reserved the
right to propose minor changes
before the bill comes up for a
Senate vote.
Amounts Based ON Salaries.
Strongly backed by the admin
istration, the bill would provide
life insurance to Government
employees based on their salaries.
For example, an employe earn
ing $4.100 a year would be in
Sured for $4,000. or an employee
making $4,000 annually would be
insured for $1,000.
The employees would pay $3.50
a year per $1,000 worth of COW
erage. The amounts would be
deducted from each biweekly
pay check on the basis of Is
cents per $1,000.
The program would be on a
voluntary basis, with employees
having the right not to partici-
pate.
No Premiums After IS.
Employees who retired on a
regular annuity, or who kept on
working past the age of IS. would
not have to contribute further
to the fund. After age IS the
amount Of the policy would de-
crease by 2 per cent month, but
would not go below IS per cent
of the policy'S original value.
Employees who resign or are
involuntarily separated would
have the right to convert their
policies without medical examin-
alton, regardless of age.
The entire program will be
underwritten by private insur-
ance companies. The commit
tee also approved a provision
which would allow Government
employe unon life insurance COM
panies to participate.
The committee-approved bill
was sponsored by Senator Carl
son, Republican, of Kansas, COM
mittee chairman.

Directors Approve
Merger Of Packard
With Sfudebaker

NEW YORK, June 22.-An
agreement for the merger of
the Studebaker Corp. and Pack
ard Motor Car Co. has been APP
proved by directors of the two
companies subject to stock
holder approval. it was an
nounced here today.
Announcement Of the agree
ment was made by James j.
Nance and Hugh j. Ferry. presi-
dent and chairman Of Packard,
respectively, and Harold S. Vance
and Paul G. Hoffman, Stude-
baker president and board chair
man, respectively.
Mr.. Hoffman is to be chair
man of the new company, to
be known as the Studebaker-
Packard Corp; Mr.. Vance will
be chairman Of the executive
committee and Mr.. Nance will
be president and chief execu-
tive officer. With the expected
ratification, Ferry will retire as
Packard chairman but will re-
main on the board of directors.
Headquarters in Detroit.
Principal headquarters Of the
new company will be in Detroit,
home of Packard. Sales will be
directed by Studebaker execu-
tive.
Submitted to stockholders will
be a proposal for Redistribution
of Packard stock on the basis
of one share for each five
presently held. Then Stude-
baker stockholders, if they ap-
prove the proposal, would get
ia shares of the new company
stock for each share Of Stude-
baker common they now haye.
The net result Of the stock
transaction will be that the new
Studebaker-Packard organiza-
ton will have about 612 mil
lion shares of stock outstanding.
Conforms to Trend.
The projected Studebaker-
Packard combination is the lat
est move among the smaller con-
Germs in their fight against the
almost overwhelming COMPETE
ton of the induStry's larger con-
Germs. Last year Kaiser-Fra
and Willys-Overland joined
forces. A few weeks ago Nash
Kelvinator and Hudson COM
bined to become American Mo-
tors Corp.
Industry gossip has it that
once the Studebaker- Packard
consolidation is approved by
stockholders, efforts may be
made to bring the new company
and American Motors together.
