Mayor Urges
|Annexdfions by
Falls Church

Falls Church Mayor Herman
IL. Fink has proposed arnexa-
ton Of adjoining Fairfax County
territory and sale Of city water
Ito Fairfax County for resale TO
consumers.
The Mayor made the pro-
iposals. which he said are mot
new" as part Of q program he
outlined to the City Council last
might for the city's future
growth.
In recommending annexation
of new territory, Mr.. Fink
pointed out that within the city
there now remain very few
suitable locations for better type
residential Developments with
which our city abounds."
He said that the city has
reached the point in its popula-
Ition growth where many Of our
outstanding citizens are ind
ling it necessary TO move from
Falls Church to other areas" In
addition. he said, the two city
schools built on county land
should be included In the city
limits.
Encourage Petitions.
He suggested that residents Of
subdivisions bordering on the
city should be encouraged to
petition for annexation ito allow
lus to expand in a normal way"
AS for providing water to the
county. Mr.. Fink noted that Falls
Church already has extended its
water lines to serve many county
Developments. But he proposed
that the city should extend its
lines further and sell water at
reduced rates to the county itself,
enabling the county to sell water
Ito its own residents at rates as
low as those paid by Falls
Church residents.
Other Proposals.
The Mayor also proposed:
|. A bond issue be considered
TO build a new city hall. He OBJ
served that the city now pays
$1,000 q year in rent for city and
School Board Offices. which is
"a great deal for what we get"
Q. That Maple avenue be ex-
tended from the city limits on
North Washington street to
South Washington street near
Trips Run. Mr.. Fink said the
Extension would relieve the traffic
bottleneck at Washington and
Broad streets, the intersection Of
the city's main thoroughfares.
8. That the city should issue
bonds to build q permanent IL
Ibrary on the site given to the
city two years ago by the Styles
family on condition that a build
ling be erected within five. years.
4. That recreational facilities
be expanded. with consideration
of a special tax to purchase new
sites.
s. That open forums. In addi-
ton to Council meetings, be es-
tabiished for the expression Of
public opinion on city affairs.

Wise Decision

The Board of Education, in reaffirm-
Ing a 20-year-old transfer of Janney
School land to the Public Library, has
acted in the best interests of all con-
cerned. AS Superintendent of Schools
Corning pointed out, the educational adj
vantages to Janney School children OF a
close-by library branch will far outweigh
the loss of some unused play space. And
the whole community will benefit from
library located in what library and civic
leaders regard as the most convenient
site in the Tenley area. Added to these
considerations was the fact that, since
the District already owns the tract, a
$4,000 appropriation to purchase land
will not be needed. DR.. Corning and the
members of the board who voted for the
transfer of land merit the thanks Of all
prospective users of the new Tenley
Library. The law creating the free pub
lie library refers to 1t as "a supplement
Of the public educational system" Of the
District. The transfer of the land at
Janney is in keeping with the spirit of
the law.

1t is generally assumed that over
production is the hard core Of Americas
farm problem. If So the 1855 farm story
is going to make grim reading for those
who are cropping for solution.
The story, in brief, is this: In 1855
fewer farmers received smaller incomes
for producing bigger crops on fewer acres.
In other words, the American farmer,
who must be very reSourceful citizen,
proved more than match for acreage
restrictions and lowered price supports.
These things were designed to hold down
production. But the farmer went out to
his reduced acreage and produced bigger
crops by using more fertilizer, irrigating
more land, coping more effectively with
insects and plant diseases, and employing
more power agricultural equipment.
There must be nightmarish quality
about this for those who are responsible
for bringing farm production into some
bearable relationship to consumption,
while simultaneously hating the slide in
farm income. Perhaps the problem Is
one which can't be solved by the planners
and the regulators Maybe there will be
no solution until the farmer, collectively
speaking, decides that the time has come
to save himself.
The only realistic view, however, Is
that the search at the governmental level

The 10th session Of the United
Nations General Assembly has come to
an end In something less than blaze OF
glory. Although permitted by the pro-
cedural rules, the lottery" to break the
long deadlock on electing temperament
member to the Security Comedian ar
rangement under which the two-year
term will be split between Yugoslavia and
the Philippines-has not added to the
Assembly's dignity or stature. And the
same holds true, but to an even greater
degtee, for the expedient package deal"
that has opened the U. Ms doors to IL
mont Communist countries and four Soviet
satellites.
Moreover, in two other respects, this
session of the Assembly has been disquiet-
ing. It has experienced couple Of walk
outs-the French in protest against the
decision to place the Algerian issue on the
agenda, and the South african in protest
against the vote for continuing inquiry
into apartheid, the policy of racial sepa-
ration or segregation. These U. N. actions
played fast and loose with Article II Of
the United Nations Charter, which for
bids interference in the internal affairs
of any country. To its credit, after
Weighing the consequences and implica-
lions of all this, the Assembly was wise
enough to reverse itself on both matters.
But the fact remains that its original
position disclosed large measure of poor
judgment, and what must be hoped for
now is that the experience has taught it
the virtue Of being more cautious and
circumspect about butting into business
which member states regard as purely
domestic In character, not international.
Yet, even though it thus has run into
difficulty and accomplished nothing OF
great moment, the Assembly has contin-
ued to serve the cause of peace as a
forum in which most nations have had
a chance, in various ways, to exert pres
sure against the forces that make for
war good example of this is the fact
that 1t has voted OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
the Soviet bloc alone dissenting-in favor
of disarmament resolution giving pri-
ority to President Eisenhower's "open
sky" proposal for reciprocal aerial in
spection between Russia and the United
States.
