Commenting on the invitations
from London and Moscow, and his
early life in Mississippi DR.. Jack
son told newsmen:
That is a far cry from the old
lays in Coahoma County, Miss,
where he was born and where his
first sermons were directed to a
timber gang at a nearby lumber
camp, he unused.
81 preached there as boy, and
when | became a man | preached
there. don't know when the d.
vision in boy and man came be-
cause | was preaching so long,"
he said.
He is a medium-built man with
broad shoulders and soft voice. He
often inserts the news of the day
into his sermons. Many consider
him a civic leader as we'll as re-
ligious leader on the South Side.
81 have seen, during my 13 years
here, type of civic pride grow
on the South Side that is astound-
ing" he said. most of the resi-
dents are immigrants from South
ern areas where they could not
participate in the total life of their
communities. But Chicago pro-
vided that opportunity"
The Rev. M. Jackson said he be-
lieves the U. S. Supreme Court de-
cision outlawing racial segregation
in public schools will cause even
more migration northward.
Sees Heavy Pressures
During the first years there
will be heavy pressure applied to
Negroes" he continued, land many
of them will abandon Southern
homes for freer life in the North.
The Rev. Mr.. Jackson lives at

Their daughter, Kenny, is an as

the shots-if the vaccine is
found to be effective and licensed
from the three health depart

Physicians Of the area are to
receive the vaccine now being

Wafer System
Study Takes in
|Centreville

Extension Of Fairfax County's
proposed iptegrated water sys-

sidered in the current engineer
ing study Of the project.
The Board of County Super
visors agreed yesterday on mo-
ton Of Stuart DeBell to have

it would bring in revenues total

Mr.. DeBell said he did not

Centreville line mandatory If It
is not financially practical. The
resolution finally was adopted

phrased to state that the Gen.

project.
$4,000 for Study
The supervisors agreed to ad-
vance $1,000 for an engineering

Rezoning Plan
Weighed for
1900 Acres

A coming proposal aimed at
sparkling residential construction
on about 1900 acres Of unde-
veloped land in Alexandria will
be aired at a public hearing at
1880 pm. next Thursday.
The land was rezoned in 1851
for single-family detached homes
on 20, 900 square-foot lots (R-20)
and 10000 square foot lots
(R-12).
These coming classiflcations
failed to attract developers.
mainly because Of the cost of
city-required improvements. &C
cording to Planning Director
Denis H. Cahill.
The proposal, drawn up by Mr..
Cahill, would permit a builder to
apply for rezoning within the
R-l2 or R-20 districts under
two new classif1cations. These
would allow a lower minimum lot
size and, at the same time. would
call for a minimum average size
for the development sites.
New Sizes Set
The proposed classifications
call for a 12,000-square-f foot
minimum lot size with the aver
age of the lots not less than 49,
900 square feet (RS-l), and an
8,000-square-foot minimum size
with the average minimum
standard at 10000 square feet
(RS-2).
The hearing on this proposal,
and on any other plan to en-
courage residential development
in the two coming districts, was
called by the planning commits
sion. It will be held in the City
Council room.
The R-20 district takes in
about 1000 acres and the R-12
about 865 acres. Almost all Of
the land is in the area that was
annexed from Fairfax County.
Some Houses Up
Mr.. Cahill said fewer than five
houses have been built in the
R-20 area since the City Council
established the classification in
1851. Only a small development
has gone up in the R-12 district.
The two districts were among
IA set up when the Council
adopted a revised coming law.
The planning commission, con-
cerned by the lack Of develop
ment, asked for suggestions from
Mr.. Cahill'S Office. It is under
stood that the commission, al
though still open to suggestions,
considers the RS-l and RS-2
the most practical of Mr.. Cahill's
proposals.
Mr.. Cahill said the commits
sion was moved to action be-
cause Of the pressure created by
developers agreeing to buy land
on the condition it would be re-
zoned for apartment construc-
ton.
The commission, he said, al
ready has decided it would be
unwise to lower city-required
standards for such improvements
as curbs. sidewalks, street paw
ing and storm sewers.

Fairfax County will conduct

that the Federal Bureau Of the

This type of information must

law. It was this requirement that
