In Fairfax Tonight

A new, enlarged Fairfax
County Democratic Executive
Committee will be elected to-
night.
County Democrats will meet
in seven separate district meet
ings to elect a total Of ia COM
mittee members. Full member
ship on the old committee was
SO. The number Of committee
members elected in each district
is determined by the Democratic
votes cast in that district in the
last general election.
After the new committee mem
bers are picked. they are ex-
pected to consider several recon-
mendations for reorganization
from the old committee. One is
that a steering committee be
picked, and another is that all
elected county officials become
members Of the Democratic COM
mittee automatically.
Guy Bayes is chairman Of the
old committee.

called in to explain their pro-

highway plans would have or
them. Each developer said he
planned to go ahead with con-

conflicting highway possibilities

be abandoned.

to the full Planning Commission

possibilities, and outlining view

Cites Span Struggle
The parks chief also referred
to the planning commissions
long and unsuccessful struggle
against the proposed Constitution
avenue bridge over the Potomac
near the Lincoln Memorial.
He said the fight was made to
prevent the marring Of one of
the city's most magnificent
Scenes-the vista where the Po-
tomac River flows between the
rolling slopes of Arlington and
the Lincoln Memorial"
Mr.. Wirth noted that he
warned the planners when they
approved the bridge plans re-
Gently that they would regret the
action ''for the rest of our lives, I"
and added:
Il feel just as strongly today
as I felt then, that future gener-
atoms will find it hard to forgive
us for what is being done to their
Capital City in some places. I
shudder each time pass that
beautiful river scene and visu-
alize the ugliness that soon will
arise there"

isioner, and a committee men,
Der. said some members ap-
parently weren't ready yesterday
to take a final position on this
single question.
Mr.. Wirth said the sentiments
expressed at the meeting would
be put into written form as q
report to the full commission.
AS he outlined the situation,
the possibility was raised that
the Federal planners on Friday
might approve the land use plan
except for the few blocks near
Tenth street and independence
Since the commission won't meet
again until February, this would
give two months time to %
work out the museum mall issue
and 90 do technical work neces-
sary before final approval of the
redevelopment plan could be
given.
May Suspend Planning
If this action should be taken,
the major question is whether
the Zeckendorf firm of Webb &
Knapp would be willing to under
take further planning while the
South Mall" issue is still up in
the air.
At yesterdays meeting, Webb
& Knapp's chief architect. Ieoh
Ming Pei. read a statement
strongly opposing the new alter
nate scheme to move the South
Mall to Eighth street, leaving the
air museum site available at
Tenth. The alternate idea earlier
had received blistering attack
from George A. Garrett, Presi-
dent Eisenhower's personal
trouble-shooter on the south
west project.
Mr.. Garrett attended the first
part OF yesterdays committee
but was asked to leave
after Mr.. PETS report was read,
along with the Webb & Knapp
officials and a Fine Arts Com
representative. 1t was
the first time Mr.. Garrett has
not been permitted to sit through

Unexpected Origin
These pressures are very great
and they often come from the
most unexpected places. BY and
large. they stem from impotence
to \get on with the job at the
most economical price"
Mr.. With said he had been
told by a newspaper reporter
that he wished Federal officials
would permit people of Wash
ington to run the city in their
own way"
He said this was a viewpoint
shared by many people but that
the planning commission must
balance the clamor for quick,
low-cost action with the vital
considerations of the importance
of the future appearance of the
Capital City to all of the people
of the Nation"
Speaking of experts with
skills in the realms of concrete
and currency" Mr.. Wirth de-
clared:
"These special skills are uSu-
ally accompanied by a vast
knowledge of ways and means
of by-passing those whose inter-

of the commission, said he hope:
that body will be able to resist
Ipressures and devote the time II
needs to studies.
He said he also has watched
civic planning responsibilities
falling more and more under the
domination of experts whose
greatest skillS seem to have beer
developed in the realms Of con.
crete and currency"
Mistakes Permanent
Mr.. Wirth's comments were
made in a speech this week to a
Kappa Sigma Fraternity alumni
meeting.
He did not identify the pres
sures involved in the Southwest
program. but declared:
This is a program of vital
importance to the Capital City
The proposals under considera-
ton will alter the appearance OF
the city and affect the everyday
life of its citizens for generations
to come. Mistakes made now may
never be overcome-certainly not
in our lifetime.
1T is important, therefore,
that time be allowed for full con-
sideration of these proposals. I
hope we will be able to obtain
that time.

personal experience and that OF
my colleagues. I believe that un-
recognized illness in one partner
is often the cause Of change in
personality characteristics. In
other words. the usually happy
man may become morose: or a
kindly wife may become irritable
and difficult to live with.
Diagnosis Is Solution
For example. recently q coll
league Of mine saved a marriage
by diagnosing duodenal ulcer in
the husband. The wife couldn't
understand why he had become
so irritable and nasty. AS she
Iput it she's driving me crazy at

to agree with him. He's always
complaining that my food makes
him SICK"
Not until x-rays were taken
was the diagnosis made. When
both husband and wife learned
/ the cause Of their misunder-
standing, divorce-thoughts few
out the window. She has be-
come very careful and concerned
about preparation of his diet.
He in turn, has greater affec-
ton for her because of her un-
Outstanding and sympathy.
I have seen marriages healed,
in many Instances, by healing
unsupported illness in one Tor
BOTH Of the marriage partners.
Coming back to the sad case Of
Mrs. T. A. w. Here is my
bunch. And not having access
to all the facts. you will agree
that 1t can be no more than q
guess.
My feeling is that the marri-
age can be saved If the husband
Is examined by an understand
ing physician. If a diagnosis is
made that the husband is i'll,
then I am sure Mrs. T. A. w.
will concentrate on getting him
well--and not on divorce.
Change Of Life"
Her husbands symptoms sug-
gest to me the consideration Of
this diagnosis: male climacteric.
This is equivalent to change Of
life" or menopause in the fe-
male. It produces the symptoms
she enumerated and many
more. Thousands Of women are
appalled, and confused at the
change" in their middle-aged
husbands.
Often they overlook the cause
as q physical one that produces
the personality change. II they
recognized this fact. fewer
women would seek divorce after
so many years Of happy. married
life. Likewise, men would be
more forbearing toward their
