Accused Of StalIing
Mr.. Shaffer recently accused
the planning commission and
the county board of refusing to
take action on the plan because
they do not want the public to
know how they feel before the
general election. Mr.. Shaffer
was defeated for denomination
in the Democratic primary last

The board also sold ST. mil
lion worth of sewer bonds. The
low bidder was the First Ma
tional Bank Of New York. which
submitted net interest rate OF

This is the second block TO

bond issue voted in 1853. A $40
million block sold last year car
ried a lower interest rate, 2.95
per cent.
Harry Hale. director Of the
sanitation division, said work on
the integrated sewer program Is
running ahead of schedule. The
bonds sold yesterday will finance
100 miles of sewers in areas
south and west of Alexandra
and a new pumping station at
Accotink.
The board turned down an
application for rezoning for q
proposed subdivision which would
discharge its sewage into a
stream emptying into the Po-
tomac above the Districts water
supply.
The application was made by
John Bobby, who planned to de-
lvelop 265 acres at Odrick's Cor
ner In the northwest section OF
the county. The treatment plant
for the subdivision would have
discharged into Scott's Run.
The treatment plant was op-
posed by the Northern Virginia

Needs Will Rule
For one thing, the United
States wants to be sure that
everything requested is absolutely
needed. Within one mile of the
United States Embassy are stor-
age depots where the Cambodians
have parked American-made
trucks, armored cars and light
tanks.
One of these depots contains
80 vehicles which apparently
have been used little if at all.
Another depot contains a SINH
lar number of vehicles that have
been used. and now are crum-

weather.
Most of these vehicles the
United States gave to France
under the Military Defense AS
sistance Program-some of the
vehicles still carry the neat let

transferred the vehicles to Cam
bodia, which apparently has
made poor use of them.
The United States will look to
its Military Advisory Group to
make sure that no waste occurs
in the future. The MAG group
which will come here when the
military aid program begins

officers and men.
One of their first tasks will be
