The farmers oppose adoption
Of the two-year, temporary zon-
ing law. which would have the
effect of freezing" new develop
ments in strictly agricultural
areas. but would permit expan-
sion of existing residential, COM
mercial and industrial areas.
Four Major Issues.
Spokesman for the association
said the issues tomorrow night
would be these:
l. The landowners claim there
is no emergency requiring i'm
mediate passage of an ordinance
that "is full of flaws The plan
ners claim that there is imme-
diate need for the ordinance to
prevent farm lands and their
watersheds from being carved
up into residential and CONNER
cial lots"
2. The landowners say they
cannot weather "the depression
in farm prices which nov exists
and hold the land for strictly
agricultural purposes for the
next two years. The planners
say they are providing the only
basis on which farm land CAN
be assessed for tax purposes on
its agricultural productihility
rather than on it's speculative
value
8. Landowners claim that zon-
ing in their area should be
applied ''as requested by the
people" and administered by the
same organizations that operate
| in the lower county.
4. Landowners oppose any new
taxes to support separate zonine
machinery for the upper county
| area.

Bond Issue
Board Defers Ruling.
On Putting S4 Million
Proposal on BulIot
washington, ID. e.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. 1854

Action on recommendations
that Arlington voters be asked
to approve a $4,155,000 bond
issue was deferred by the Coun-
ty Board yesterday until a re-
cessed meeting at 8 pm. Septem-
Der 20.
The proposal is part of a six
year county capital improve
Inents plan totalling $22, ,155, 900.
It was offered by the boards der
yelopment committee, an adj
visory group.
Preliminary action to get the
81 million program on the bal
lots was taken, however. when
the board requested the bonding
attorney firm of Mitchell &
Pershing to advise it on prepa-
ration of a proper ordinance.
Court Would Get Request.
Normal procedure would be
for the county governing body
to pass an ordinance requesting
Circuit Court to place the 81
million question on the Novem-
Der 2 ballot in a special referen-
dunn.
With reference to the six
year program of more than $22
million, County Manager A. T.
Lundberg said, "a program such
as this is good only as long as
the County Board and the School
Board conform to it."
The development committee
proposed a bonded debt ceiling
OF 12.5 per cent of total as
sessed valuation to carry out the
plan ending June 80, 1860.
New Approach Cited.
"This is the first time the pro-
gram has been approached in
this manner" Mr.. Lundberg said.
'It is an attempt to project
our bonded indebtedness needs
and to conflne our expenditures
TO GnaC limit.
Board Member George M.
Rowzee suggested the School
Board be invited to meet with
the county heads prior to the
September 90 session. Schools
would take up $40 million of the
$22 million total.
The board set October 8 for a
hearing on an ordinance to cut
back the speed limit from IS to
80 miles an hour on Columbia
pike between South Monroe
street and the Fairfax County
line.
License Hearings.
s Set for October Is was a hear
ing on an ordinance imposing
annual license fees on operators
of elevators, escalators and dumb
walters. ~
A change in the polling place
for voters in Fillmore precinct
was requested of the Circuit
. Court. The former polling place
in the administration building
of Pickett Homes has been de-
stroyed. The new location would
be at Clifford Motors, 2501 CO.
lurnbia pike.
The Army Engineers notified
the board that the Signal Corps
is abandoning as surplus proper
ty about 6.5 acres at the southern
end of Arlington Hall on Arling-
ton boulevard. The tract adjoins
a 2.6 acre plot already owned by
the county. Mr.. Lundberg was

'TlTB D0T10V
Virginia Plan
Aims at Delay.
Of fInfegraiion
Armisteud Boothe
Program Stresses
Local Autonomy
BY the Assoeiased Pres.


RICHMOND. Sept. l8.-Dele-
gate Armistead Boothe of Alex
andria today came up with a
proposed Virginia plan" that
would give local authorities wide
latitude in solving the school
segregation issue.
The 47-year-old attorney said
he favored continuation Of the
States traditional segregation
policy 'in accordance with the
wishes Of the people in the vari-
Gus localities"
He suggested three basic rules
for Virginia to follow in working
out a school plan for presenta-
ton to the Supreme Court.
!. The State should strive for
court recognition Of the practi-
cal fact that the Old Dominion
needs IAN indefinite time" In
which to work out its school
problems.
2. No child of either race
should be compelled to attend
a school with mixed classes.
8. No teacher of either race
should be assigned to teach
children of another race.
Goals Held Attainable.
Attorney General j. Lindsay
Almond, is on record in support
of the latter two goals and has
said he believes they are legally
obtainable.
Mr.. Almond will present vir-
ginia's side in the segregation
case in new hearing to be held
later in the year by the Supreme
Court. The tribunal, in it's May
II decision outlawing segrega-
ton in the public schools, re-
queSted the four States involved
to return later and describe how
they proposed to desegregate.
There has been no lowering of
the barriers in Virginia as yet.
Gov. Stanley has pledged to use
every legal means" to preserve
the status quo and has set up a
32-man legislative commission
to try to find way to keep the
races apart.
Mr.. Boothe proposed a "Vir-.
ginia Plan" in an article written
for the latest issue of the Virginia
Education Journal and elabo-
rated on his views in a state
ment to the Associated Press.
He predicted segregation will
be maintained indefinitely "in
its entirety" in many sections
Of the State.
Elsewhere, he said, segregation
would be continued in varying
degree in proportion to the Negro
population.
Favors Local Autonomy.
Mr.. Boothe suggested Virginia
strive for considerable local
autonomy q SO that each COM
munity can solve it's conditions
as it sees fit. He advocated local
governing bodies be given the
power to consider four points in
planning pupil assignments:
/. Difference in academic back
grounds among the students.
2. Health requirements of the
students.
8. Personality, practices, needs
and desires Of individual chill
dren.
4. The intensity of racial feel
ing in the various students.
He said the powers could be
exercised by making individual
assignments of children to local
schools, by arranging attendance
through new attendance districts
and by allowing children to elect
their own school.
Mr.. Boothe reiterated his adj
vocacy of retention of the public
school system. Several weeks
ago in a. poll of his fellow law
makers, a IL vote in favor of
retention was recorded by the
one-third membership that re-
piled.

Webb Opens Office
For Campaign, Cites
Three Main Issues

JOnn Z. WeDD, the Democratic
opponent Of Republican Repre-
sentative Broyhill, opened his
Tenth District headquarters in
Falls. Church, Va, last night
after defining to reporters the
campaign issues as he sees them.
The main issue Is simply this
the record of the Republican
Party" he said.
II represent the Democratic
Party-a party that has always
represented the interests of the
people," he continued. Joel
Broyhill represents the Republic
can Party-a party that prefers
to identify itself with big busi-
ness and special interests. The
last two years plainly prove that
such is the case.
"I believe the three most sig
nif1cant local issues in this cam
paign are first, the destruction
of the Civil Service merit sys-
tenn; secondly, the Republican
party's hypocrisy in regard to
the Federal pay raise; and A.
nally, the creation of a transit
authority for the Metropolitan
Area"
Calls for Debates.
Mr.. Webb said that between
now and November 2 he will
make every attempt to debate
all issues with his opponent. So
far only about six such gather
ings have been agreed to by Mr..
Broyhill in a series sponsored
by the League of Women Voters,
he said.
Mr.. Webb read a statement
and then answered questions at
press conference yesterday
afternoon. This preceded the
formal opening of headquarters
at $50 Lee highway last night
when he awarded prizes to win
ners Of a Dollars for Democrats
drive conducted by women in
the party.
Mr.. Broyhill cut q ribbon
opening his headquarters in
Clarendon and held a press con-
ference Wednesday night.
Plans Outlined.
The Democratic candidate out
lined what he would do about
the three local issues listed by
him. He said he would sponsor
legislation to strengthen the Civil
Service merit system-"we must
crush this new spoils system that
the Republicans brought to the
Civil Service.
He would intrduce a bill that
guarantees an adequate pay
raise" He said the increase
would be retroactive to August
%, the day President Eisenhower
vetoed q pay raise bill.
He would sponsor a bill for q
single transit authority for the
Washington Maryland Virginia
area.
Hits G. o. p. Depression"
In addition : to these i'm
portant local issues" Mr.. Webb
went on. I'VE have at issue in
this campaign what I term a
new Republican depression-the
depression of the spirit. This
depression of the spirit began
when the Nation saw the GOF
stand smugly by as McCarthyism
assassinated our democratic way
Of life. McCarthyism was the
spark that ignited a series OF
fears"
Mr.. Broynill had said earlier
that Senator Mccarthy Is nc
more Of an issue than Is James
Roosevelt in California.
Questioned about this, Mr.,
Webb said Senator Mccarthy
'shas been able to make the Re-
publican Party back down. which
makes it important that the
people speak out. Broyhil1
] didn't speak out.
