Burke Airport

Morten S. Boyer, candidate for
the Democratic nomination to
Congress in nearby Virginia, yes
terday said he favored the con-
struction of an airport at Burke
in Fairfax County.
The airport proposal was con-
tanned in a Appoint platform
released by the candidate.
Mr.. Boyer, 35-year-old airline
administrative assistant, said he
believed construction of the air.
port would bring more tax rev.
enues, jobs and business develop
ment to the area.
Mr., Boyer is the only Tenth
District candidate to say he ia
vors construction of the con-
troversial airport which has been
fought by Virginia officials, espe-
Icially those in Fairfax County.
The candidate also said he
would encourage industry and
business to locate in the Tenth
District to ease the tax burden
on home owners.
Mr.. Boyer is one Of three can
Ididates for the Democratic nomi-
nation in the July 10 primary.
The others are Warren d. Quen-

SEND A KID TO CAMP
New World Con Open
For Billy This Summer

Last year, Billy was a boy
who boarded happiness.
He felt If he turned his back
it would disappear.
So he wouldn't go to camp.
Somehow it seemed that If he
left his foster home, where he
felt safe at last, it might not be
there when he came back.
Billy. who is II, knew nothing
but insecurity in his own home.
He is one of a large family. who
all came under the care of the
Welfare Department because of
neglect. His drunkard father has
been in and out of Jail constant
ly. His mother, who loves her
children, cannot cope with them.
Billy lived in foster homes for
a while. Then it was decided
to try his own home again be-
cause he wanted it that way.
But 1t didn't work. He had seen
different ways of living and
thinking, and home was even
worse than before. He asked his
foster mother If he could come
back to her, and arrangements
were made for this to be done.
In this foster home, Billy feels
safe and wanted for the first
time. He's beginning to believe
in happiness now. II he goes
to camp, he'll feel sure. without
looking over his shoulder, that
his new home is still there.
Billy is rejecting in every way
his new lease on life. He is doing
better in school. He is more CO.
operative everywhere.
Camp means progress as well
as fun to Billy. His decision to
go this year is a kind Of land
mark.
Billy Is called a mice average
boy" by people who know him,
who. given a chance in life, will
grow up to be a mice. average

The stage was set for de-
linquency. Adolescence might
have been his cue. But his new
life has introduced him to q

BIZ GERALD o. HERNDON

]
Answers to q few questions
raised by high bidding on an
underwater Potomac River island
were available last night but
some mystery still surrounded
the $500 tract which attracted
tax sale bids over 81 million.
The 211-acre isle. described as
submerged except for four
acres" turned out to have a
new set of owners-the heirs of
a Washington man who once
campaigned for the presidency
on an anti-blue law platform.
Located somewhere between
Glen Echo and the Carderock
Navy installation, the sunken
isle could not be pinpointed by
Montgomery County ofiicialS,
who conducted the tax sale or
by the man who bid on 1t.
In the auction, Takoma Park
real estate man bid $1.3 million
for the property. but the unpaid
tax bill in the island was only
5000. The hig bidder, Arthur j.
Williams, %, looked up the
Islands location in Annapolis
land records but, even then, de-
clared he went to the Potomac
and spotted what I thought was
the island"
Estate Terribly Complicated
Although the islands owner
was listed in county records as
Mary Wheeldon. Of Falmouth,
KY. check Of old records has
revealed that Mary Wheeldon
was a straw owner for Leland l..
Barton, a cousin Of the American
Red Cross founder. Clara Barton.
Mr.. Barton died in Washing
ton on June 4, l948. at the age
OF SO, according to the Districts
Bureau Of Vital Statistics. He
lived at 326 G street NV. in
what his survivors say was a
ramshackle dwelling in a slum.
His passing was noted in a two
paragraph obituary in The Star
on June 6, 1948. In it, he was
described as one-time presiden-
tial candidate who "campaigned
on the platform Of the National
Association Opposed to Blue
Laws. Inc.," in 1882.
A Washington attorney and a
Louisville (KyJ woman, who is
one Of Mr.. Barton'S heirs, last
week told The Star that Mr..
Barton's estate was terribly
complicated"
Ten To IL Barton Heirs
They said the island tax was
not paid through an oversight
and that the estate administra-
tors undoubtedly will redeem the
sunken land. They have a year
and a day from last Mondays
tax, sale to do so.
The attorney. Theodore A.
Miller. said there are "10-to-l2
heirs" to the Barton estate. Be-
sides the island, the estate in
Icluded interests" in % lots IN
the District, he said. Mr.. Bar
tons title to some Of the tracts
was clouded by the fact that he
apparently chose TO have many
OF the deeds recorded under the
names Of other persons, Mr., Mil
Ter said. In the case Of the is

land. Mr.. Miller said that ap-
lparently the title il clear.
What the estate representa-
tives would like to know ID what
excited the high bidding for the
submerged land, which 10 as
sessed at $500.
Comments from the two heavy
bidders were not enlighteninR.
Mr.. Williams. winner Of, the
5000 tax certificate (the 1880
raw tax" plus interest and
COSTS admitted he attended the
tax sale in Rockville only to bid
on the island. He declined to
reveal his purpose, stating that
to do 80 would violate q con-
fldence."
Mr.. williams said he was sur.
prised at the high bidding and
q little alarmed. When the bids
were progressing by 100000
jumps. he sought advice from an
attorney friend who assured him
that no matter how high he bid,
he could only commit himself
to the payment Of the 5000
tax bill.
If, after the year-and-a-day
period, the islands owners have
not redeemed the tax bill, Mr..
Williams would be entitled, but
not required. to foreclose on the
property and pay the $1.3 mil
lion he bid for it. Two years
after the tax sale. If there is no
action by any party, the land
would revert to the delinquent
tax rolls.
Just \ Bit Of Comedy"
The other bidder, who dropped
out at the $1.2 million level, was
Walter r. Hardisty. a Bureau
Of Public Roads official. Mr..
Hardisty bid on most Of the tax
sale properties that day and
claimed that his duel with Mr..
Williams was lust a bit Of
comedy"
! He said the exact location Of
the island was unknown and that
he had not bid on it in connec-
ton with a planned bridge in
the Cabin John-Glen Echo area.
1t appeared that the most
likely explanation Of the high
bidding was that Mr.. Williams
was determined to acquire the
tax certificate for his private
reason and that Mr.. Hardisty. q
veteran tax sale buyer, was en-
tertaining himself.
Plans for the Cabin John
bridge project have not been am
nounced and are presumably still
being studied by representatives
of the Virginia Highway Com
mission and the Maryland State
Roads Commission.

finement Of addicts classed as
Migrants.
Mr.. Clemmer went into these
problems in his letter to Chief
Murray. He said he wanted the
information in preparing his ifs
cal 1858 budget estimates.
First Of any he wrote, I'VE
would like an estimate from you
as to the number of arrests lead
ing to commitment that might
be expected from new police Of
flcers in terms Of arrests for
minor misdemeanors and for Sc
rious offenses. I presume some
estimate Of this could be devel-
oped by the arrest rate Of pres
|ent officers.
Most to so on Patrol
1.-THE understanding we have
obtained from the newspapers is
that the new officers will be
primarily on patrol beats and.
Iof course, will not only make
arrests but actually prevent crime
and trouble. It is understood that
full recruitment will not probably
be complete until late in fiscal
year 1857, but we need your inn
|pressions as we plan our '58
Budget and for the following
year.
THE second need for budget
planning is the probable effect
|of the narcotic law, especially
the proposed vagrant statute
which permits incarceration up
to one year. AS we sense the
understanding of this proposed
law, we anticipate it can very well
increase the population at our
misdemeanant workhouse insti-
tuition, let alone the felony mar
Icotic offenders. to a very APP
Ipreciable degree.
you and your associates are
aware of the serious and danger
Gus overcrowding we have In this
department. 1t will interest you
to know that on Tuesday night
Iof this week, the poulation at
Lorton was 1925, the highest in
its history. The population for
the whole department on Tues
day was 4.432. BY way of COM
lparison. when you assumed office
in December. 1851, the inmates
of the reformatory, numbered
1882 and the average number
of inmates in the department
was 3,112. Nice going"

reimbursement cut-off date?
CONSTRUCTION contracts adver-
Itised but not let? Construction
contracted for but not finished?
Or waste treatment plant con-
struction finished five. 10 or IS
years ago?
Andthe bigger question arises:
Would any such retroactivity
payments be legal?
Vital Question Here
The District, the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission,
Fairfax County and Alexandria
all of which are now construct
ing major sewage collection and
treatment works-all have Q
vital interest in the answer to
these questions.
Supporters Of the Blatnik bill
register one important point to
ease the disgruntlement Of COM
munities already active in clean
ing up their river messes. The
Federal construction grants would
be a continuing thing authorized
over a 10-year period at least.
Some day, the far-sighted COM
munities will face treatment
plant expansion required by con-
tinued population growth and
will be entitled to construction
grants provided by the bill.
The big fight in conference,
however, will be over whether
the construction grant section
remains in the measure at all.
| Representative Blatnik Is con-
fldent. Aside from the House
approval. the measure has strong
support in the Senate.
Senator Morse, Democrat Of
Oregon, long a foe of river poll
luton, has announced he will do
his utmost to rally support for
the House bill complete with the
construction grant provision.
Needed by June 80
II hope to live 50 long," he
asserted, "as to see the Congress
lof the United States use the
Potomac River as q sort Of pilot
plant operation demonstrating TO
the Nation what can be done in
the matter Of cleaning streams
and preventing their pollution"
The conferees, in addition to
Mr.. Blatnik, are Representatives
Jones, Democrat of Alabama,
Dempsey, Democrat Of New Mex
leo; Donderc. Republican Of
Michigan; McGregor, Republi-
can Of Ohio; and Senators
Chavez. Democrat Of New Mex
Iico; Kerr, Democrat Of Okla
homa; Gore. Democrat Of Tenn.
lessee; Martin, Republican Of
Pennsylvania. and Case, Repub.
lican Of South Dakota.
They will probably 90 into
session this week. The present.
eight-year-old pollution control
act with its vastly more limited
provisions. expires June 80.
