Food Buyers
Scour World
hrA&P

Thousands of buyers travel
hundreds of thousands of miles
to purchase APP foods right at
the source for the new store at
the Chardon Shopping Center.
The store will open Thursday,
May II.
Not only do these food-select-
ing experts travel the length and
breadth of America, but they
venture into many foreign lands
as well-inspecting and selecting,
and purchasing the cream of the
crop for Arp.
They go to the rice fields of
Asia and the tea plantations, to
South America for coffee, to the
Mediterranean for fruits, to Scan
dinavia for SardineS.
Constantly they keep in touch
with home headquarters, ap-
praising the home office of To-
cal crop conditions, the quality
of the harvest, the size and the
demand, prices and the compe-
titive situation. Their reports,
coming in daily, keep the CEN
tral buying offices fully aware
of the whole worldwide food
situation.
Most of the buyers, of course,
fruit to seafood, livestock to
vegetables, and in the great food
processing centers, canneries,
packing plants etc.
The advantage to the house
wife is obvious, A&P executives
point out. These buyers are buy
ing for her, selecting the worlds S
best food produtcs for her fam
lily, and effecting unusual econ
omies in purchasing, shipping,
processing and distributing.

All Prices
Are Marked

The Arp practice of marking
the price on each item, widely
hailed by consumers, will be con-
tinued at the new Chardon Store
located at AS Water Street.
The price marking program
is pretty comprehensive at A&P
As one clerk said: 1--WE mark
just about everything
With items plainly marked, it
Is easy to keep track of expendi-
lures while shopping and to
check prices as they are rung
up on the cash register at the
checkout stand.

Battle Says Stevenson
Is His Choice at Present

RICHMOND. Mar. Is R.-
Former Gov. John S. Battle de-
clared today that "as the field
looks now" Adlai Stevenson is
his No. / preference for the
Democratic presidential nomina-
ton.
II think his basic philosophy
is more In line with the feelings
of the South than some of the
others said Mr.. Battle In a
telephone interview from his
Charlottesville home.
The 65-year-old attorney cited
Mr.. Stevenson's more moderate"
approach to the segregation
issue.
Four years ago. while he was
Governor, Mr.. Battle warmly
supported Mr.. Stevenson in an
election campaign that brought
denunciation of the Democratic
candidate from Senator Byrd
and ex-Gov. William M. Tuck.
Neither Senator Byrd nor Mr..
Tuck, however. went so far as
to indorse President Eisenhower
Mr.. Battles new praise for
Mr.. Stevenson came a day after
several top organization Demo-
Gratis indicated they regarded
Senator Lyndon Johnson of
Texas as the type of Democrat
the South might rally around.

Mr.. Battle spoke highly Of
Senator johnson, too.
"He is a very able and ca
pable man, and of presidential
timber" he said. But I am
not advised as to the state of
his health, which think would
be an important factor"
Meanwhile. State Party Chair
man Thomas Blanton of Bowl
ing Green said the Democrats
Central committee would meet
sometime next month to set a
time and place for the statewide
convention that will precede the
national convention.
Four years ago Virginia's dele
gates went to the national con-
vention uninStructed. 1t was at
this convention that Mr.. Battle
achieved nationwide prominence
because of his successful fight
against an attempt to GUST Vir-
ginia, Louisiana and South Car
olina over a refusal to subscribe
to q loyalty oath.

Fairfax Faces Increase
Of95 Cents in Tax Rate

proposal to the supervisors
Already the School Board has
figured out a way to reduce its
tentative budget between $780,
900 and 100000 by spreading
teacher salary increases over
several years. This is calculated
to bring down the anticipated
tax hike 7 to 10 cents.
Biggest Increase for Schools
AS the budget now stands, 7e
cents of the anticipated tax in
crease would be required for
schools, and the other 10 cents
by other general fund require
ments.
Next to schools, the biggest
increase is set up for the police
department. The tentative bud
get gives this department $777,-
935, an increase of $229, 400. This
would permit hiring of % addi-
tional officers, two new clerks
and five more crossing guards
Assessments Higher
The county's present tax rate
plus other sources of income
fall $2.7 million shy of meeting
all these increased budget re-
quirements. This is true, even
though assessments for 1861
total 1913 million as compared
with last years $685. million
total assessments.
The additional budget requests
that would bring the tax in
crease to $1.13 include $425. 900
for a new library headquarters
and two branch libraries: $103,-
1870 for a sewage treatment plant
and additional land at Great
Falls Park, and $1,000 additional
for the county Child Guidance
Cling.

BY MARY LOU WERNER

A 95-cent tax rate increase
confronted Fairfax County resi-
dents today after presentation of
estimated budget requirements
for 1867 totaling 1892 million.
The tax increase may even go
as high as $1.13 if three other
items totaling $533,758 are added.
The 95-cent increase would
raise the county's tax rate on real
estate and personal property
from $2.70 to 1855. 1t would be
the largest tax Jump ever i'm
posed.
County Executive C. c. Massey
submitted the budget picture to
the Board of County Supervisors
yesterday. He emphasized it is
a preliminary presentation" for
the supervisors to study and not
the final recommendation of his
Office or the supervisors.
81 Million Over Sc Budget
The 1892 million figure rep
resents all anticipated require
ments from the county general
fund during 1867, including an
$50 million contribution to the
school budget. The remainder of
the tentative $12.2 million school
budget would come from State
funds.
The total general fund budget
of 1882 million is more than 81
million above the 1866 general
fund budget.
More than $2.5 million of the
increase is a result of the school
budget request. Mr.. Massey noted
that the School Board still is
working on its budget. however,

quests before submitting a final

Iquoted this statement to say this:
that those H. B. A. warriors who
fought here, not with guns, bombs,
cannons and other destructive weap-

humility, have passed off the battle
