Virginia Anti-Red Bill
Apparently Is Dead
BY the Associoted Press

RICHMOND. Va, Mar. A.
The Fenwick Bill to require a
Communist oath of every
State employee, including teach
ers. was sent back to the Courts
of Justice Committee yesterday
by the Senate in a move that
looked like the death of the bill.
When the bill, on second read
ing, came up, Senator Edward
Breeder of Norfolk. withdrew an
amendment he had offered to add
an emergency clause and have
members of the Legislature take
such an oath before this session
adjournS.
The motion to recommit was
made by the bills sponsor, Sena-
tor Charles r. Fenwick OF Ar
lington.
The bill will have to be passed
by the Senate by Monday or it
will be dead under a resolution
that the Senate can consider
only House bills after Monday.

Alexandra Urged
To Drop Community
Unit zoning Plan

Abandonment of the commu-
nifty unit plan type of coming
was recommended by the Alex
andria Planning Commission
yesterday in a report to the city
council.
The recommendation is to be
considered by the council March
10, when it hears proposed
changes in the city's master zon-
ing plan.
A spokesman for the planning
commission said it was decided
to recommend suspension of the
community unit plan principally
because developers have used it
to get around coming restrictions.
Under the community unit
plan, owners of large tracts can
develop them into all types OF
housing-regardless of coming
classification - provided the
overall population of the devel-
opment does not exceed the
density of the zone in which il
is located.
According to the planning
commission, developers have
been loading" big projects with
apartment units, and not build
ing as many single family build
ings as the planning commission
desired.
The planning commission sug-
gested that a study be made to
see if some substitute for the
community unit plan might be
more workable.
The community unit plan wds
adopted in Alexandria about
three years ago in hopes OF
assuring orderly development OF
large tracts within the new ter
ritory annexed from Fairfax
County. Three large projects
have been approved under the
community unit plan. The plan
does give the city stricter con-
troll on architectural design and
building layouts than ordinary
coming.

struction proposal. DR.. Norris

Architects CHALLENGE
Savings Claimed for
State School DESIGN

Possible creation Of a State
architectural agency to design
school buildings was attacked
today in a joint statement by
four Alexandria architects, who
contend the plan actually would
cost more than the use of pri-
vate architects.
The statement was issued by
architects Gordon D. Rust. Jo-
seph H. Saunders, Robert A.
Willgoos and Dwight G. Chase
in reply to comments of Alexan-
dria Mayor Marshall j. Beverley,
who said he feels the taxpayers
could save millions of dollars by
establishing an architectural
agency to design school build
ings.
At the Mayors suggestion a
resolution was introduced at the
current session of the General
Assembly, asking the State De-
partment of Education to study
the idea.
Cite Various Services.
The architects said Mayor
Beverley implied they merely
prepared exterior designs. They
declared that architects fees
cover complete planning OF
buildings in relation to sites
consideration of school board
requirements. services of struc-
tural. mechanical and electrical
engineers. detailed specifications
for bidding and on-the-joh
supervision.
They vowed that a State ar
chitectural Office could not save
any money. They pointed out
such an Office existed in Virginia
before 1913 but was abandoned
because it was totally made
quate to satisfy the needs of the
postwar school construction
program"
The architects reminded
Mayor Beverley that Virginia. in
1850. spent more than $4,000 to
prepare some standard school
plans. which were never used,
Alexandria school officials said
the standard plans were for
schools too small for their use.
California Costs Presented.
According to the architects
California. which has a State
architects office. spends from IL
to Is per cent Of building costs
for plans.
They warned that Alexandria
would contribute more than its
share toward the cost Of operat-
! ing a State architectural Office,
because city residents pay pro-
portionally more to the State
than rural residents.
The architects said school
costs might be reduced by revis-
ing restrictive State school regu-
lations. For example. they de-
clared Virginia law still has pro-
visions for ceiling heights and
ventilation that are not required
by many other States because
they are no longer necessary
with modern systems of lighting
and ventilation.
