Flames Wreck Barn
In Fairfax County,;
Arson lsSuspected

A spectacular barn fire be-
lieved to have been set by an
arsonist last night caused an
estimated $50, 900 loss at a Fair
fax County dairy farm.
Flames from the fire, on Great
Falls road near Lewinsville, were
visible for miles.
The blaze was on the farm OF
David Preston Rogers and broke
out shortly before II pm. IT
drew fire companies from Nc
Lean, Falls Church, Vienna and
Dunn Loring.
Both MFR. Rogers and County
Fire Marshal Willis Burton said
they suspected arson. The fire
engulfed four silos, a large two
story barn-paft of which dated
back to the Civil War-and some
$50 tons of silage, worth about
$45 a ton.
II positively believe arson was
the cause" Mr.. Rogers declared
He said the fire "has completely
put me out of business. Only
part of the loss was covered by
insurance. he said.
The silos were about IL feet
in diameter and each contained
80 tons of hay, Mr.. Rogers said.
They had 5 feet of concrete
under them. The barn was about
100 feet long and 80 feet wide
and contained some farm equip
ment, including a tractor and a
hay-loader.
About SO cattle, sometimes
kept in the barn, were in the
field nearby and were not hurt
Firemen prevented the flames
from spreading to Mr.. Rogers
house.

State Construction
.0f Detention Homes
Urged on Legislators
BY a Star Stoff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Oct. 28.-State
construction of regional deten-
ton homes for Juveniles, laws
against horror comics and more
liberal child labor laws so teen
ayers can find better jobs were
among recommendations made
at a hearing before the Virginia
Legislative Advisory Commission
on Juvenile Delinquency here
yesterday.
The plea for State financing of
regional detention homes came
from Judge James III. Montgorn-
cry, jr., representing the Juvenile
Judges Association of Virginia,
and Judge Emerson Baugh of
the Virginia Association of Trial
Justices.
| They told the 15-member COM
mission, headed by Mrs. Kathryn
H. Stone, member Of the House
of Delegates from Arlington, that
rural communities, in particular,
cannot afford to build detention
facilities for their few offenders.
They added that too many stun
bling blocks are encountered
when two or more communities
try to get together to build a
regional detention facility.
Northern Area Effort Cited.
Mrs. Stone commented that
Arlington, Alexandria, Falls
Church, Fairfax County and
Loudoun County are considering
construction of regional deten-
ton home in Northern Virginia.
Under existing State laws To-
calities must finance construc-
ton of detention homes. The
State pays for maintenance and
a share of the operating costs.
Right now we don't have any
place in rural areas to put de-
linquent kids except in jail, !"
said Judge Baugh, who is from
Brunswick County.
The State operates facilities
for delinquent children once
they are committed by local
courts to custody of the State
Welfare Department. The pro-
posed detention homes would
hold the youngsters until the
State picks them up, once they
are committed.
Comic Book Law Asked.
The horror comic book prob
lem was brought up by Judge
Montgomery. He recommended
that State laws on salacious lit
erature be revised to weed out
horror comic books.
Revision of child labor laws
was suggested by John Halliday,
president of the Virginia Associ-
alton of Juvenile Court Proba-
| tion Workers.
Attending the hearing from
Northern Virginia were Mrs.
William Wildhack and Mrs.
Charles Pickett, both of Arling-
ton.

Mrs. Werner Favors
New zoning Hearing
In Upper County

Stella B. Werner, Democratic
member of the Montgomery
County Council. today said that
If public reaction to the latest
draft of the upper county Zon-
ing ordinance indicates a new
public hearing is necessary she
would press for holding one as
soon as possible.
Mrs, Werner'S statement came
in a letter to the Landowners
Association of Upper Montgom-
cry County, which has a mass
meeting slated for 8 o'clock to-
night at the Gaithersburg Agri-
cultural Center.
Mrs. Werner noted in the let
ter that she did not favor the
original ordinance as proposed
by the upper county planning
commission. The original draft
drew bitter and almost solid
opposition from farmers and
landowners in the rural area.
Mrs. Werner, in effect, tossed
back to the five Republican men,
bers of the council the response
bility for the rural zoning ordi-
nance. The rural zoning issue is
the hottest of the election cam
paign in the upper county.
Had Sponsored Changes.
"Grover K. Walker, the other
Democrat on the council, and
sponsored the changes which
met the principal objections
voiced to the earlier version, :
Mrs. Werner said. She noted
that the two Democrats had
taken the lead in removing the
unpopular two-year freeze on
current land use and in supply
ing landowners with a process
for applying for rezoning and for
registering objections to pro-
poSals they do not like.
Under the new ordinance
every upper county landowner
is assured public hearing on
any land-use question affecting
him at any time of the year, "
Mrs. Werner said.
The original ordinance pro-
vided for no major rezonings
with or without a public hear
ing for a two-year period.
Mrs. Werner said she and
Mr.. Walker had also taken the
lead in adding another residen-
tial zone to the proposed land
use map.
Won't Attend Meeting.
Mrs. Werner said she would
be unable to attend tonight's
meeting in Gaithersburg. She
added that November 4 upper
county residents, after review
ing the new draft, will present
their recommendations to the
county council.
eff the reaction at that time
indicates that a third public
hearing is necessary will press
for holding one as soon as pos
slble," Mrs. Werner said.

Decision Near
On Pressing for
Second AirfieId
Must Decide
Whether to Ask
Congress for Funds

Prodded by critical overcrowd-
ing at National Airport and the
spectre of early Senate hearings
on the problem, high Govern
ment officials are trying to reach
| a firm administration decision
on establishing a second airf1eld
for Washington.
The decision, which involves
whether to ask the next Congress
for money-and how much-is
expected to be made within the
next two weeks to meet headlines
for preparation of the President's e
January budget message to Con-
gress.
Meanwhile, Chairman Bricker
of the Senate Interstate and
Foreign Commerce Committee
is slated to decide today on when
his Aviation Subcommittee
should hold its hearings.
He is being offered two sug-
gestions-either November, dur
ing the special Senate session to
consider the censure Of Senator
Mccarthy, Republican. of Wis
consin, or after the full Con-
greSS meets next January.
New Try for Burke Urged.
One well-informed official said
the plan now under discussion
would be to make a new effort
to resume work on the site at
Burke, Va.
The Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration still owns about 1000
acres of the 1000 it wanted
there when Congress blocked
further appropriations and
stopped the project in it's tracks.
There was speculation, how
ever. that it might involve re-
consideration of other sites-also
in Fairfax County-which were
originally proposed. ....
One, at Fairfax, lies only a
mile or two west of the Burke
site and there was speculation
that it might encounter less op-
position. The Burke site. never
abandoned by the CAA, foun-
dered in Congress on the rocks
of local opposition and that of
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia.

RICHMOND, Oct. 28.-Vir-
ginia welfare officials weren't kid
ding when they said a 16-year-
old Loudoun County girl stayed
in Jail too long because there
, wasn't room for her at Bon Air,
the States only training school
for delinquent white girls.
A State legislative commission
on juvenile delinquency found
all that true-and more-on a
special visit to the institution
yesterday.
In fact, the welfare depart
ment's complaints Of overcrowd-
ing seemed like a masterpiece of
understatement to most of the
committee members who toured
the school, 10 miles outside OF
Richmond, where troubled young
girls are supposed to learn how
to make better lives for them
selves.
Right now there are 142 girls
crowded into quarters big enough
for 1876. Beds have been cram
med into recreation rooms in
three dormitories to make room
for the overflow. Rooms that
should hold four beds have five
and six.
FL Being Screened.
In the oldest dormitory, sc
girls sleep. This includes 81 who
are still in the screening process
Welfare workers try to keep
them separated from the others
for six to eight weeks. During
this period they are studied, to
tell whether they should stay
at the school or be put in board
ing homes.
The old dormitory also houses
-inf1rmary and dental clinic
Four girls assigned to work in
the infirmary and clinic sleer
in a small. crowded room where
big chunks of plaster are miss
ing from the ceiling. Plaster
hangs menacingly low along the
entire length of the hall in the
old dormitory. On the second
floor, six beds recently have been
lined side by side in what used
to be rumpus ROOM. This
leaves only one recreation room
barely as large as an average
family size living room for all
80 girls in that building.
The newest dormitory, opened
just IA months ago, offers a
more pleasing outward appear
ance-but the crowding is Just
as bad. It was built for Is girls
-four to a room. Extra beds
have been showed in, bringing
the present capacity up to 81
This makes it impossible for
each girl to have a dresser OF
her own. Training school off,
cials say discipline problems
are more difficult in the crowded
quarters.
~ In Space for 16.
A third dormitory, called Fisher
Cottage, has ~ girls cramped
into quarters meant for 16. One
small room-barely as large as
the third bedroom" in a mod
ern, low-priced rambler - has
four beds in it. Only a thin girl
can get around the fourth bed
to make it up. Twelve girls sleep
In another room built for eight.
The fourth and shabbiest DOR
mitory is a big quonset hut,
where 20 girls sleep. The walls
sorely need paint. There are
three toilets--more often out of
order than working. AS balm
for those who must stay there,
school officials give the girls
extra campus privileges" and
have attempted to create In 1t an
atmosphere Of senior class"
There also is q smaller, and
more comfortable, cottage for
girls who have demonstrated
that they can be given more
freedom and responsibility.
To relieve the present over
crowding, an old school building
Is being converted into q dorni-

cally. They even fostered the
birth of the nasty thought that
wishful thinking might be color

not enough returns were in. On
another channel almost the same

doubt about it, the mans in.
Somebody told us all at one
point that Saltonstan had solid

A twist of the knob and two Sec

defeat. Still another channel,
a few more seconds later, dis
closed that Saltonstalrs recup-

diately following him came Mar
tin Agronsky, to whom each
Democratic tally clearly resem-
bled a long-awaited letter from

A brief stop now and then at

with neither Univacs nor weighty
commentators, was just plain
out-gunned, but carried on

gadget of distinction. 1t did get

down early to shirt sleeves and
loosened collars, to be joined by
Jim Fleming in Chicago, who
sported the evenings most tele-

It was CBS-TV where neatness

This also was the network
where the great battle between
man and machine ragged. Univac,
the monster electronic brain, pre-
dicted early in the evening that
a Democratic landslide was in
progress. Having rashly called
it a fool when it predicted the
