her superiors they had no right
Ito close. registration books to
public inspection has been told
to look for another job.
Mrs. Gladys Isdell, who has
been general registrar since 1850
when the first full-time central
registration Office was estab-
|lished, has been notified by the
electoral board that she is not
Ito be reappointed when her
present term expires May J..
Mrs. Isdell is an appointee Of
the electoral board, which in
turn is appointed by the circuit
court judge.
The difference of opinion be-
tween Mrs. Isdell and the cleo
toral board over registration
books arose February II. She
said she was notified by the
board that no one was to be
permitted to inspect registra-
ton books in her Office any
longer. Instead, the public
would have to look at copies of
registration lists kept in the cir
cult court clerks office.
Cites Section Of Law
Mrs. Isdell told the board she
felt the law required her to keep
registration books in her Office
open to the public. She cited
a section Of the State election
laws, which states:
Registration books shall be
kept and preserved by the regis
trar and shall at all times be
open to the public inspection"
She also recalled that Attorney
General j. Lindsay Almond in
1851 handed down a ruling that
the public should be free to in
spect and make notes from regis
tration books at all times.
According to Mrs. Isdell, the
electoral board feels the lists in
the circuit court meet the re-
quirement Of the law for availa-
bility to the public.
Lists Are Different
The two sets Of lists differ,
however, in that those in the
registrars Office are filed by
precincts and 1t is easy to check
new registrations. Those in the
court clerks Office are not, COM

|3kkcHugh Plan
|PhasesDropped

All business, Industrial and
five-acre residential zones rec
commended for Fairfax County
Iby Francis Dodd McHugh have
been cropped by the Board OF
County Supervisors in a re-
lnewed attempt to adopt other
features Of Mr.. McHugh's plan.
The deletions were agreed on
by the supervisors yesterday
partly by split decisions as they
again set out to enact land use
proposals OF the planning con-
lsultant.
BY a vote Of 4 to 8, it was
decided to leave all business and
industrial zones unchanged from
their present boundaries in the
proposed new coming map.
There was general agreement,
however. on eliminating the
lfive-acre lot sizes recommended
by the McHugh plan.
Elimination Of the five-acre
lot sizes leaves the rural two
thirds Of the county in a pro-
posed three-acre lot category.
In other sections where Mr.. Nc
Hugh had drawn five-acre lot
zones through denser residential
areas, they are now planned to
conform with, coming of sur
rounding property.
BY trimming out Mr.. Nc
Hugh's proposed commercial and
industrial boundaries the super
visors have side stepped one Of
the most controversial features
of the proposed new plan. By
adopting the McHugh recon-
mendations. some property now
zoned for business would revert
to less valuable categories and
business property would be added
in other sections.
That leaves the three-acre lot
sizes the major issue Of the
proposed plan. At present, q
Ihalf-acre is the largest lot size
requirement in the county.

As Father Watches

Navy divers working with Har-
Dor Precinct police yesterday re-
covered the body Of Charles L,
Van Luven. 26, of Falls Church,
who plunged to his death of Key
Bridge November II.
The mans father, Fred w. Van

Harbor Precinct police were at
tempting to drag the river bot

They hailed the boat, and after
about two and half hours the
body was discovered with one leg
wedged under a rock in about Is
feet of water. 1t had to be pried

In Moscow yesterday, the So

Hungarian Premier Janos Kadar
as saying he blocked U. N. OBJ

Request Renewed
Mr.. HammarskJold disclosed
he had sent new communications
to the Hungarian and Soviet gov

his request to get observers into
Hungary. He said no reply had
yet been received from the Hun

The Soviet government, how
ever, sent him letter yester-
day repeating its earlier declara-
ton that this was a matter for
the Hungarian government
alone. Deputy Foreign Minister

Arizona, James T. Pyle. deputy

Tennessee Aviation Education
Workshop;
Although we will never be
satisfied with anything short of
100 per cent safety, I think it
should be remembered that the
June 80 collision was the first
such fatal accident between
United States airliners in his
tory.
Some Incorporate statements
have been made in recent weeks
about unsafe congestion. I can
assure you that as far as the
CAA is concerned. we may have
to cause some congestion at
ticket counters by delaying
takeoffs when necessary. but we
will never permit unsafe con-
geStion of flights under our
control"
More Facilities Needed
More control facilities are
needed, Mr.. Pyle said, adding
that future aircraft designs and
greater acceptance of air travel
are likely to make the situation
even worse. Among other things,

President Signs
RecIamationBi||

President Eisenhower today
signed bill authorizing Federal
aid in small reclamation projects,
but warned that it will have to
be revised before action is taken
under it.
The President objected to a
section requiring the Secretary
of the Interior to submit pro-
posed contracts to House and
Senate committees for their APP
proval or disapproval before
executing them.
A similar provision in a mill
tary construction bill brought a
presidential veto several weeks
ago. and Congress later modified
the legislation.
Mr.. Eisenhower explained in
ia statement that he signed the
reclamation bill today only be-
cause Congress is not in session
to act on a veto message and
he has been assured that the
committees which handled the
measure will take action to cor
rect it's deficiencies early in the
next session"
Directing to what he called
invalid delegation to congress
sional committees of executive
power, the President said the
provision would be a clear vio-
lation of the separation of powers
within the Government"
He added, II believe it to be
my duty to uphold the constitu-
tional principle that only the
Congress can make the laws anc
only the executive branch car
administer them"
The President said he was
signing the measure because Of
its general merit" But. he ex-
planned, the Secretary of the
Interior will only review project
proposals under it and prepare
ito take action after the objec-
tionable section has been re-
moved or revised" He said this
should involve no delay ir
starting the program if Congress
will act promptly after con-
vening in January.
