the idea Of instalment giving.
Instalment giving produces two

Mr.. Morris says.
Another principle is--name the
charity you want to give to. Some
peoples "sales resistance" takes
the form Of objections to this or

That's negative and silly"

Strong for United Fund
Mr.. Morris is a strong united

be the last Community Chest
campaign as such. But the best
way to get a united fund estab-
lished here by next year is for
the public to "vote united fund"
by giving to the Chest. This. he
says, will show the independent
national agencies which are
reluctant to join the local Chest
that the people want to give
through a single campaign.

Morris believes the business COM

District Heads
Confer Today
On Pepto Plant

The District Commissioners
were to meet today to decide
what measures. If any, they
should take now on the contro-
lversial location Of q new cleo

Icity's sole source Of water.
One Of the immediate items
for discussion, 1t was learned, Is
whether to send q District Gov

The case at issue involves the
petition of the Potomac Electric
Power Co. for industrial coming,
which would permit construction
LOT a $40 million 600, 1000 kilowatt
power generating station on the
Potomac River shore, seven miles
upstream from Great Falls.
Postponement Sought
The coming board already has
been requested to postpone the
hearing for as long as go days,
pending analyses by hydraulic
engineers and pollution experts
on the possible harmful effects
the plant might have on the
river water.
Postponement is sought by the
Washington District Engineer
and a group of citizens in both
lLoudoun and Montgomery
Counties.
Indications today are that the
district Commissioners also
would favor q delay, pending
studies.
It was likely the coming board
will not decide on postponement
until the Pepco case is called to-
night. A board ofilcial said this

by praising the beauty Of South

Mr.. Goldstein, a Calvert

Fairfax County has officially
decided to enter the water BUSH
ness, hoping that on November 8
voters will approve a $50 million
revenue bond referendum to pay
for the program.
Otherwise, the Board Of County
Supervisors decided yesterday,
some $1,250.00O will be Dor
|rowed" out Of the general
fund this fall to pay for the
Annandale Water Co.
An agreement to purchase the
utility was approved by a 6-to-1
vote and was officially executed
after the meeting adjourned
about 6:45 pm. Purchase price
was $950,000 with the county
assuming liabilities estimated at
about 100000.
Mrs. Anne Wilkins made the
motion to approve the sale with
Supervisor G. B. Runyon voting
against it. Those voting in the
negative took the position that
the purchase should be delayed
until it is determined first
whether votes approve the bond
referendum this fall for o county,
wide integrated water system.
Option Expired
The trouble with that plan
was that James McWhorter,
president Of the company. had
refused to extend the county's
90-day option to buy which ex-
|pired at midnight last night.
The question Of how the
county would pay for its pur-
chase In the event voters turn
down the revenue bond program
was what troubled most Of the
supervisors and a number Of
citizens at the meeting.
Supervisor Maurice Fox OBJ
tanned unanimous support for a
second resolution which pro-
|vided that In the event the ref
|erendum fails to pass, the gen.
|eral fund would be reimbursed
from revenue from the new wa
ter system with interest at the
rate Of 3 per cent.
Supervisor Arthur Shaffer
amended this further to provide
that in the event the bond issue
does pass, the general fund will
be repaid Immediately from
proceeds of the bonds.
Based on Current Rates
County Executive C. c. Massey
had estimated that, based on
financial data given the county
Iby Mr.. McWhorter. 1t would re-
Iquire about Is years to repay the
general fund Of the county from
earnings of the water system.

Mr.. Lee. farmer. Silver Sprinl

for coming in the rural area.
The charge came as the coun.

to get reaction to the new
ordinance.

Ia unanimous vote yesterday BY
the council to postpone to No.
vember / the effective date Of
the controversial zoning ordi-
nance for the area which was
passed by the last Republican,
controlled council.
zoo Attend Hearing
Some 200 upper county resi-.
dents turned out for the hearing
in Poolesville. Tonight the coun.
Gil moves to the Laytonsvillt
Elementary School for the sec.
ond session.
The big point at issue is the
proposed f1ve-acre minimum lot
size in the agricultural zone.
The Upper County Landown-
|ers' Association, headed by Mr..
Lee, and the County Farm Blu
Ireau feel the size is too large.
They favor one-half-acre house
tracts.
This ordinance contains fea-
lures intended to stop the build
ing Of homes" Mr.. Lee charged
The landowners spokesman
noted that some officials have
expressed fear Of the pollution
lof the Potomac, Seneca and
Patuxent watersheds by home
construction without public sew
ler and water lines. He said the
ordinance would make econom-
Iically unfeasible home construc-
ton in SO per cent Of the upper
county.
Mr.. Lee also attacked the le-
Igality Of the procedure being
followed In the ordinances
preparation. He commended the
council should have a compre4
Ihensive plan and a coming map
before adopting an ordinance.
Zoning Map Made Public
The coming map" first re-
vealed to the public last night,
shows only existing land uses
and Classics them in the five
coming categories proposed in the
ordinance.
Mr.. Lees attack on the ordi-
nance drew a sharp counter Of
fensive from County Attorney
Charles M. Irelan.
Mr.. Irelan accused Mr.. Lee, a
longtime political friend, of
using scare tactics" and propa-
|ganda techniques.
He denied the ordinance was
designed to stop home construc-
ton or would put an economic
freeze on development.
Mr.. Irelan called on the audi
ence to ignore Mr.. Lees wild
statements"
Council President j. Grahame
Walker also defended the or
dinance. asserting 1t was in
tended only to protect the
farmers and halt "helter-skelter'
development.
Mr.. Walker, however. drew o
mild rebuke from Councilman

The county already has esti-
mated rates will be raised to
an average Of $64.50 a year and
that the number Of customers
viii increase with the rapid de-
velopment of the territory now
served by the company.
In another development, Mr..
Massey indicated that the next
session of the General Assembly
In January will be asked to pass
legislation giving the county
powers of condemnation so that
it can expand the water system
throughout the county.
When citizens expressed con-
Germ over the possibility that
voters may turn down the $50
million bond proposal this fall.
Mrs. wilkins said the alternate
step available would be the
Of a sanitary district
for the Annandale area.
In any event. the voters Of
that district would be called on
to approve a bond issue sur
ficiently large to repay the debt
to the county's general fund.
In case that, too, were turned
down then 1t appeared that the
repayments over a 25-year Pc
Rod, mentioned by Mr.. Massey.
would be the only other course
to follow.
Massey's Position
While discussing the method
of financing from budgeted
funds. Mr.. Massey told the sup
ervisors: Its a question of
whether you think it Is wise
policy to manipulate-that's a
bad word--eeneral funds"
Edwin Lynch, Annandale real
estate developer and former
member Of the House Of Dele
gates from Fairfax, said II don't
oppose county operation Of a
water system but ] do oppose
this deal.
ut seems to me this deal is
all to the favor Of the Annandale
Water Co. and not to Fairfax
County"
He said there is nothing in
the agreement to protect the
county In case the company's es-
innate Of $500, 900 in outstand-
ing liabilities should be In error.
The county is assuming the liza
bilities Of the firm, whatever

The Adventurous Story

THE SILENT CONTINENT.
BY William H. Kearns. jr.,
and Beverley Britton. Thar
pers; $500
The authors have sketched
the history of exploration in
Antarctica since the days in
1920 when Nathaniel Palmer,
a young Connecticut seal
hunter, first sighted the silent
continent. They have done it
not in a dull, scholarly work.
Instead, they have produced,
while hewing strictly to the
known facts. a series of adven-
ture stories.
Messrs. Kearns (once a
copyboy on The Starr and
Britton have told the sagas of
80 explorations conducted by
men of 13 countries. If these
heroes sound incredible at
times, perhaps it is because
of the incredible elements they
faced with inadequate means:
70-below temperatures, winds
up to 200 miles an hour,
treacherous crevasses, crunch
ing icebergs as big as cities
and, always, the unknown.

pinos used military and eco
nomic means, mainly, to win.
Policy for America
From this operating Level
book, we now move to what Is
perhaps the most meaningful
effort of the year from the
American standpoint: The
Rostow-Hatch paperback pro-
posing a policy for America. In
many ways it is an answer to
DR.. Reischauer's pessimism.
No doubt it was so intended.
The NIT team is no more than
a long walk from Harvard, so
it is reasonable to assume that
news of the Reischauer pessi-
mism had reached them.
Rostow and Hatch don't
throw away the military arm.
They think it should be
strengthened. But they fore
see, like DR.. Reischauer, a
long test of Free Arts by Red
guerillas and subversiveS.
They suggest adding So bill
lion a year to the present in
vestment program in Asia to
counteract the Reds nom
military campaigns. Europe.
they believe, could handle $700
million of this and the United
States should pick up the rest
of the check.
If tensions are reduced in
Korea, Indo-China and For
mosa, the NIT team suggests
the United States think about
letting Red China into the
United Nations General As
sembly, moving India into the
Security Council. and leaving
Chiang's China in the General
Assembly. Recognition can
wait, they think.
Economic Victory
Their main thesis is that by
helping free Asia oustrip Red
China economically - espe-
cially in improving real well
fare of the people-the United
States can bring terrific pres
sure on the Chinese mainland
to modify it's present form Of
government. China is still a
paper tiger. the Rostow-Hatch
duo is sure. and should be
forced to work out its own
problems, without benefit of
wars and other diversions
which could distract the Chi
nese peoples attention from
the real cause of their trouble.
Unlike DR.. ReiSchauer, the
NIT men are certain the free
world has a golden opportunity
to discredit communism for
ever in Asia. But they do not
deny that 1t will take much
more work and sacrifice than
we have given in the past.

What can the free world do
to stop communism in Asia?
This has been a burning
question since World War II,
but scholars haven't got
around to writing much about
it until this year. Harvard
Prof. Edwin o. Reischauer
kicked off with Wanted: An
Asian Policy" a few months
ago. He was deeply pessimiS-
tic about stopping the Reds.
He discounted military means
almost completely, and didn't
think political tools would be
very effective. What hope he
had rested in economic i'm
provement of free Asia. He
had no hope at all that the
Asian people-on the common
man, operating level-would
actively resist communism.
Next comes Filipino states
man Carlos P. Romulo's Cru
SADIE in Asia" He is full OF
hope, because he has seen his
own Filipino people stop the
Communist Hukbalahaps. His
book is, in effect, a working
level manual for anti-Com-
munist Asian countries faced
with Red subversion and guer-
rilla warfare. Written in his
clear, vigorous, Manila-neWs-
man style, it shows how or
binary Asians - President
Ramon Magsaysay is just that
can rout the Reds if they
have the zeal. Communists.
