A petition by ]. b. shapiro,
Takoma Park developer. for the
rezoning TO commercial use Of
lot acres along the Rockville
Norbeck road came before the
council with Q strongly worded
recommendation for rejection
from the planning agency.
Pointing out that the entire
commercially zoned area Of the
Silver Spring business district
totals only n acres. the commits
sion commented: I'VE consider
this application to. be 50 far out
of line with any possible need
for commercial use that It Is most
difficult to consider it seriously.
The County Council took ali
the petitions under advisement,
In another action, 1t approved
the withdrawal of q petition for

Survey S. Release
Delay Denied

A fiscal survey report, which
Ihas been infected into an Ar
Ilington political campaign, was
released today by 3 committee
iof the Northern Virgins Plan
ming Commission.
With the release Of the report
ion business license taxation came
lie denial by the COMMITTEES chair
imam that any pressure has been
Iput on the committee to- with
lhold reports until after the Mo-
lvenher s elections because they
might be embarrassing to Demo-
cratic incumbent candidates.
1 The report Is one Of three.
The other two are on debt man
Iagement and tax sources. Fran.
lcis G. Browne, Republican candi-
ldate for the House Of Delegates
lin Arlington. said attempts had
been made by one Of the in
lcumbents to suppress all three.
4 The committee said the re.
iport on debt management would
lbe released on Monday. Laszle
/ lEcker-Racz. chairman Of the
fiscal survey committee, said no
attempt has been made by any
lone to have the reports sup
pressed. Five reports on various
phases Of financial affairs in
Northern Virginia had been re-
LEASED before today.
Il can unequivocally say that
no one has approached us to
delay the reports, and the in-
cumbent legislators have worked
with us in finding solutions to
Jour financial problems Mr..
Ecker -Racz said.
The chairman said every re-
port win be released as soon as
lit is completed. About IA more
Iare expected to be issued.
Today,s report suggested that
1.-THE method Of issuing business
licenses be changed to make it
more fair. It also recommended
that the State discontinue its
business licenses and leave this
source Of revenue for the ex.
elusive governments.
Mr.. Ecker-Racz said the BUSH
jness license Is the most iinpor-
liant tax other than the prop
lerty tax used In Northern vir-
,tginia. Alexandra. Arlington
County and Falls Church now
require business licenses based
ion the amount Of gross receipts
'tper year. Fairfax County has
none.
1 In fiscal 1866 the three
Jurisdictions expect to raise ST.
49,. 900 from business licenses.
Arlington anticipates $7S4 900.
\ Alexandria $6I6,00O and Falls
Church and two towns In Fair
+Ifax County Vienna and Hern-
.ldon S62 900.
The report recommends that
.Ithe base used for calculating the
TAX be changed. Instead Of using
Igross receipts, the report sug-
Agests that added value be used.
/ Added value Is gross receipts
minus cost Of products sold.

Equinox Calendar Date Changes
But Seasons Return On Schedule

Thus the Northern Hemisphere's
spring comes in and is followed by
summer when that portion of the
world leans toward the blazing
orb. In the same period, fall and
winter take over in the Southern
Hemisphere-and SO on in the sea-
sons immemorial pattern.
Why, then, asks the layman,
since celestial bodies follow fixed
paths and schedules do not the sea-
sons return at the same calendar
time?
The answer lies in the variation
between calendar and solar year,
the solar year being the actual
time it takes for Earth to spin
around the sun. Since the calendar
year is 5 hours, AZ minutes and
45.51 seconds shorter than the So
lar year, calendar dates for astron-
omical phenomena are pushed for
ward until leap-year calculations
make corrections.
There are, however, real chang
es in the equinoctial relationship
between Sun and Earth. Because of
what astronomers call the equinoc-
tial procession, the center of the
sun crosses the equator about so
seconds of arc farther west each
year This westward motion is the
result of the wobble in Earth's axis
of rotation and the interplay of at
fractions between Sun, Moon, PLAN
cts and Earth.
Eventually, between 25000 and
26,000 years from now, the cycle
will be complete. Earth will return
to its present position with equin.
octial points as they are in the cur
rent year. Astronomers know this
long cycle as the Platonic or Great
Year.

Washington In the United
States September is the time of the
harvest moon, and the hazy blue
smoke of the outdoor picnic when
a sweater becomes welcome in the
evening chill. It's the time when
killing frost may strike in the far
north; when the dry season ap-
proaches in the Great Plains, and
rainy spells are due in the South
east and North Pacific States.
All of which is another way of
saying that September brings the
autumn equinox, the death of sum-
r,er and the rehirth of fall. In 1885
the shift came officially on Sep
tember % at exactly 2:42 pm.
Eastern Standard Time. This is
later than it was last year by 5
hours and 46 minutes, the National
Geographic Society points out. And
in 1854 fall arrived 5 hours and AZ
minutes later than it did the pre-
ceding year.
The years two equinoxes, spring
and autumn, occur when the sun is
directly over the equator. Then
day equals night. The word itself
comes from Latin for equal
night" 1t might just as well have
been taken from the term for
equal day."
IF Earth's axis were perpendicu-
lar to the plane of its orbit as the
planet makes its annual revolution
around the sun, all days and nights
would be equal, and climate would
remain invariable at every point
on the globe. AS it is, Earth has
tilt of 231a degrees that causes half
of it to be turned toward the
source of all life-giving heat and
light wwhile the other half is turn
ed away.

slider q recommendation to the
Governor relating to o special
session Of the General Assembly.
The chairman viii shortly
call another meeting Of the Ex-
ecutive Committee to further

The effect of this was to In
dicate it will be at least two or
three weeks before any meeting
of the full commission can be
held.
Report in Late July
Assuming the commission
quickly completed its legislative
program, the Governor would
hardly receive its report before
late July. And that would be
cutting the time pretty short for
calling the Assembly into session
in the last-of-July or early
August timing widely discussed
in recent speculation.

in its meetings yesterday and
Tuesday night considered some
proposed bills, but he wouldn't
say what the bills contained or
whether any constitutional
amendments were involved.
