for physical assets which man.
Iof them had to donate to TIN

Agreement by the Fairfa1
County Board Of Supervisors Il

lclimactic chapter Of a story o.
how an enterprising developer
James A. McWhorter. parlayee
Ia rear yard water well from {
I$75 to a $3.50. 900 business in II
years.
Opinion is divided on whether
the supervisors last Tuesday
should have agreed to pay Mr.
McWhorter's firm the $3.50, ,00(
and assume an additional liabili.
Ity estimated at 100000.
A sampling of opinion among
IAnnandale's $500 customers re.
Gently, however, indicated that
most of them-tired Of plant
Ibreakdowns. water rations and
no water at all during dry spells
are willing to pay higher rates
under county ownership.
IeEalized Larceny
Delegate Omer L. Hirst
branded the sale to the. county
as "legalized larceny" He did
not. however. criticize the policy
decision of the Board of Super
visors m taking over the plant
more than go per cent of which
was acquired without cost to the
company.
But Mr.. Hirst, a Democrat
who seeks reelection this fall,
promised to renew efforts in
next years General Assembly
to bar this type Of profit in the
future. A strong lobby defeated
his attempt last year.
County Executive c. c. Mas
sey told the supervisors that
based on information supplied
by the company. the firm today
has a physical plant worth $1.l
million.
Mr.. Hirst asked the State
Corporation Commission for as.
sets of the eight private watel
companies operating in ths
county. As Of last February

value was 1925, ,336.

|lican and Democratic county

Announcement of the Con-
vention slate marks the boldest
entrance Of School Board Con-
vention candidates into the poll
tical arena. In the past. there
have always been some School

we're reluctant to tie the Con-
yention candidates with any
County Board slate.
ITO say the School Board isn't
in politics." Mr.. Hincks said as
the announcement was made. "is
Just a bunch of nonsense" He
said the combined slate will sim
plify financial support and other
phases Of the campaign which
will wind up November 8.
Announcement Of the Conven-
ton slate said the Convention
name was chosen to emphasize
that AIM candidates were chosen
at breakfast meetings Of rela-
lively small groups.

county affairs to be conservative.

Accordion Plan Favored
OF the auditorium he said:
II should like to see it built
on what I would call the
accordion plan--an auditorium
seating 1000 one night and con.
tracing to seat 1000 the mex
night. with no vacant seats. Il
Is OF enormous Importance al.
ways to have the room full.
This accordion plan is en-
tirely practical. II can be &C.
compiished in either Of two ways
One is by movable walls. The
second is by movable drapes
suspended from ceiling tracks
I'm the case Of the walls, they
could either be raised from the
floor or. again, suspended from
ceiling tracks.
"The hall should be fitted tc
the performance. You could have
ia magnificent chamber music
concert but in a big hall the
three or more players would be
like flies on the distant stage
For a. full scale opera or ballet
you would want the entire hall.
Not Just Theater
He dismissed the idea that the
auditorium should be for the
theater alone. He said it could
be used for important meetings
of state, for international meet
ings, and to provide q chamber
for the inauguration OF Presi-
dents, as the law contemplates.
The building, he said. should
also provide facilities for schools
of music, the drama and painting
and it could become a great CEN
ter in those fields. This would
help in raising money, he pointed
out. because some give more
quickly to education than to
other purposes.
In the auditorium he would
like to see so boxes, probably
more. He explained there should
be a presidential box and sug-
gested a box named for each
State in which the Governor Of
the State or the States represent
tatives would be welcome.
Discussing the need for the
building he said many factors
are obvious but some are not so
obvious.
when we send abroad al
exchange program. exchange is
a misnomer if we can't receive
something here in return. These
have been making friends for
our country. But then artists.
producers. musicians ask when
they can come here.
No Theater Available
"There is no commercial the
ater you can book them into in
mid season. Every New York
theater manager hopes to book
his house for a whole season.
With the exception of the Ma
tional in Washington, where you
might find a couple Of weeks in
the winter, there is no other
place to play. New York is prac-
tically closed.
You Just have to have an
adequate house. not only for the
theater. but for ballet, opera.
concerts-all the performing arts
need 1t.
As far as Mr.. Bowling is con-
cerned the site is an open ,ques-
ton. Asked about a site on the
L'Enfant Plaza in the projected
z Zeckendorf development of
Southwest Washington, Mr.. Dow
ling said a consideration would
be what other buildings-"assets
of national importance"-would
form the surroundings.
Parking. he said, should be an
important consideration In the
site selection. 1--WE want this to
be a theater Of the people," he
said, stressing that parking ia
cilities must be available.

DistiIlers Charged
Under Trust Low
To Fuce Hearing

BALTIMORE, Sept. 6 R.--
The first public hearing in a
conspiracy indictment against
SIS whisky distillers and whole
salers was to be held today in
Federal court.
Judge Roszel C. Thomson set
the hearing to air various legal
problems in the case. The in
dictments under the Sherman
Anti Trust Act were returned by
a Federal grand Jury last April 6.
Indictments were issued after
Montgomery County officials
charged their county liquor
stores had been refused supplies
direct from distillers and al
legedly were told they would
have to make purchases from
Baltimore jobbers. That action,
the county officials said, would
tend to increase prices.
ALI the individuals and com.
panies indicted pleaded inno-
cent at arraignments held during
June. Many Of the Nations
leading liquor manufacturers
and wholesale distributors are
involved.
