Rumors are gaining head
way In nearby Virginia that
pressure is being brought to
bear to delay some of the
forthcoming reports on the
areas fiscal problems until
after the November 8 election.
The Fiscal Survey Commit
tee Of the Northern Virginia
Economic and Regional De-
yelopment Commission cur
rently has three more Of these
reports tentatively approved
md about ready for public
release.
They deal with the business
privilege tax. sources of new
local revenues outside the sales
tax. and municipal debt man-
agement.
Laslo Ecker Rack. chairman
of the Fiscal Survey Commit
Zee making the $4,000 re-
Eional study. says one or two
hi the reports may be held
s1p for two weeks after the,
commission meeting Thursday
ht Goose Greek Country Club
Ii Loudoun County.
But Mr.. Ecker-Racz denies
any. such delay would be the
result Of political pressure.
Five reports already have
been submitted BY his COM
faaittee and released by the
commission. Among them was
one, more than two weeks ago,
Showing that Northern Vir-
Ninia is being disseminated"
hgainst In the distribution Of
State funds for education.
ns Pressure Applied?
Subsequently. word has got
ten around that some sort OF
pressure was exerted to hold
up release of that report. An-
other version has 1t that COM
plants were registered from
some political quarters after
the report was released. It has
been this kind Of talk that is
leading to mushrooming ru-
llnors that influence also Is be-
ing exeTted to postpone release
Of the three pending studies.
When questioned about these
rufnors. Mr.. Ecker-Racz told
The Star last week
Il was told by one OF my
friends that this tsclaool fund.-
report could be considered as
embarrassing to some Of the
candidates.
The committee certainly
didn't have that In mind when
It released the report. No one
has. spoken to me about delay
ing the reports. I would be
rather offended II they did.
Four independent sources
called the attention Of this
writer to the rumors last week.
Mr.. Ecker-Racz was ques-
toned about his statement Of
the possibility that release Of
one or two of his reports might
be delayed for two weeks after
Thursdays meeting - thus
coming after the election.
Il had not heard about all
this before" he said. II will
take it up with the committee
at our meeting Tuesday. The
reason We like to space these
reports apart is to get as much
publicity on them as possible. "

The story was told by q Red
Cross volunteer worker. and is
typical Of many such stories.
While many people think
their contribution to the Red
Cross starts and ends with
writing q check each year. ac-
tually the donation OF time
Is as eagerly sought by Red
Cross ofiicials.
There never are enough
women to perform the many
volunteer services which the
organization tries to main
tain on 4 year round basis.
The story of these routine
services does not get into the
headlines, like the dramatic
work of the disaster units. But
when the volunteer program
laesas II has been lagging
the past few years-the result.

are concerned. Is as disastrous
Is when the fund drive falls
short Of It's goal.
There are d raft Of vital
services provided by volunteer
women workers for which the
Red Cross could not possibly
pay.
800 Workers Needed
Right now. according to Mrs.
David e. Finley. chairman OF
volunteer services for the Dis
trict Red Cross. at least 500
more volunteers are sdesper-
ately" needed. especially for
the daytime hours.
Approximately 1000 yOlun-
teers are already working with
the d. c. chapter. That
sounds like 4 lot Mrs. Finley
points out. "And. Of course.

worked around the clock. But
when you realize that many Of

hours q week, then you see
that it takes Q great many vol

The Red Cross does not try
70 fight realities. Instead Of
asking its present women TO
give more time. II asks more
women to give b few hours .

many activities.
The volunteer situation Is
more diff1cult In the Nations

RAINBOW TROUT
(SdImo gairdnerii)

successfully propagated in fish
hatcheries.
HABITS: Noted for its strength
and agility and tendency to leap
when hooked; must have well
aerated water with a temperature
of not less than 70 degrees or rs
degrees F. throughout the year;
probably shifts more in lakes and
streams than our native brook
trout.
MANAGEMENT: Essential that
rainbow trout have clear, cold, pure
water, hence elimination Of all
pollution is necessary; more food
and cover can be provided by
stream improvement such as the
construction of small dams, cur
rent defectors and other stream
Instructions that will make
currents, and form deep holes,
aerate and purify the waters;
forestation, contour blowing, and
planting, vegetation along the
banks of streams will reduce
siltation, and lower the water
temperature.
VALUE: Priced for the sport it
affords and for it's beauty and as
food; sale is prohibited in Mary
land and in most other sections,
unless hand reared and under per-
nit, hence no estimate of its value
commercially.

RANGE: A native of the western
coast of North America; has been
successfully introduced in the east,
where suitable habitat is found; it
also has been successfully planted
in Garrett, Allegany, Washington
and Frederick Counties, and less
successfully in the cold waters Of
Cecil, Hartford, Baltimore and Anne
Arundel Counties, Maryland; it
also has been successfully trans
planted in Europe, Asia, Africa
and South America.
DESCRIPTION: Color varies in
different waters; generally olive
color on back, silver-green on
sides; dorsal fin and tail dotted
with black spots; broad band of
purple-red extends all along both
sides; average weight in streams
about one pound, larger in lakes
and reservoirs; worlds record
81 pounds.
BREEDING: The female prepares
the nest by cleaning out depres-
sion in gravel bottom; the eggs
are laid by female and generally
fortified by two males; after eggs
deposited female Moves slightly up
stream and washes loose gravel
over the eggs, which hatch in
about 4S days in water tempera-
