County Pushes
Tax Plan

The Arlington County Board
is pushing the plan to unite
six Northern Virginia commune
ties on a Virginia sales tax pro-
poSal.
The board last night named
one of its members, George M
RowZee, jr., to represent Airing
ton at a meeting Friday. Repre-
sentatives from Alexandria,
Fairfax County, Falls Church,
Prince William and Loudoun are
expected to attend the meeting
sponsored by the Northern Vir-
ginia Regional Planning Com
mission.
Mr.. Rowzee was authorized to
commit Arlington to share the
cost of hiring tax consultant to
represent the six communities
before a commission appointed
by Gov. Stanley to study the
sales tax question. The board
set a limit of $4,000 as Airing
tons contribution, but indicated
more money would be authorized
if it became necessary.
The action was taken on a
motion by Board Member Ralph
Raul, who said the Governors
study commission plans to hold
"a public hearing early next
month.

ant would be expected to analyze
any sales tax proposal advanced

Psychiotric Clinic Urged
ForD.C. Giraffe VioIotors

A Washington physician rec
commended a psychiatric clinic
for traffic violators here at a
meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Commissioners
Traffic Advisory Board yesterday.
DR.. H. S. Hoffman, an in
ternist who is a member of the
advisory body, told the group
violatorS who were repeaters or
whose manner indicated an ex-
animation was in order would be
referred to the clinic by the
courts or the traffic director.
Such a clinic, he said, has
operated in Detroit since the
1930s. This clinic, manned by
psychlatrists and psychologists,
and originally established in
connection with cases involving
felonies. was expanded to include
traffic violators around 1886.
Reported as Effective
He said reports show the clinic
has been effective as a preven-
tive measure against traffic vio-
lation. acting as a powerful
deterrent" to normal persons.
The average person doesn't
like to be called stupid, the doc
tor declared. The knowledge that
he might have to face such a
clinic makes him more conscious
of his driving.
Although the normal person
who acts irresponsibly forms the
largest class, violators also in
.clude the emotionally- disturbed
and persons whose los are too
low to cope with traffic situa-
tons, he said. These are weeded
out in such setup. AS in De-
troit, the clinic would make its
recommendations to the author
ity which originally referred the
case to it. who would make the
final Judgment.
Mounting Toll Cited

the toll mounts in spite of this.
"It's perfectly obvious that this
is due to a psychological factor.
DR.. Hoffman said. OF the three
things involved-roads, cars and
drivers-the driver is the most
important, he declared. An
otherwise responsible citizen can
become a demon in a car, he said

Schools Receive
Full 50 Million
Budget Request

A Is cent increase in real
estate and a 8 cent increase in
personal property tax rates was
approved by the Arlington
County Board last night to
finance combined school and
general county budgets totaling
$24 million.
The new tax rates are 1881
per hundred on real estate and
$3.50 per hundred on personal
property. The school portion of
the real estate levy is $2.03,
leaving SLAB cents for county
operations. The school portion
of the personal property levy is
$3.50 leaving 50 for county op-
Ierations.
Full Request Voted
A motion by board member
George Rowzee was rejected by
Ia 3-to-2 vote which would have
reduced the school budget by
$500 Instead, the board ap.
proved the full $9,628,834 re-
quested by the school board.
Mrs. Leone Buchholz joined Mr.,
Rowzee in the vote.
Another 3-to-2 vote was re-
corded on the setting of the
school portion of the two tax
llevies. Board Chairman Wes-
ley Cooper Joined with Ralph
Raul and David Krupsaw in the
balloting on the two questions.
Earlier the board had adver-
tised a 25 cent increase in the
tax rate for school purposes but
was able to keep the increase at
the lower figure by increasing
revenue estimates. This was
done by anticipating 81 million
in contributions from the Fed
eral government for school oper.
alton and maintenance costs in
stead of the 100000 the school
board had estimated in its orig
inal proposal.
Board members Raul and
KrupSaw had begun debate on
the school budget by fatty OPP
posing increasing the estimate
on Federal funds. Mr.. Krupsaw
raised the question of what
source could be tapped to pro-
vide the extra 100000 if the full
81 million Federal payment does
not materialize.
Ruling Quoted
He said the board had re-
ceived a ruling from Common.
wealth Attorney William j. Has
san that it could not raise the
estimate on Federal funds simply
to avoid a larger increase in the
tax rate at this time and then
depend on borrowing money to
make up any deficit that might
occur.
The board recessed for a half
hour closed conference, after
which Mr.. Krupsaw offered the
motion raising the estimate on
Federal funds to 81 million. He
offered no explanation of why
he changed his position.
Earlier the board failed to act
on a proposal of Mr.. Rowzee that
the Federal fund estimate be set
at 81 million and the surplus
brought forward for school pur-
poses be raised by $250,O0O. This
plan, Mr.. Rowzee said, would
have enabled the board to keep

estate tax raise to 4 cents in.

The board made minor changes
in the general county budget re-
ducing it by about $4,000 to

Opposing the bill were IL citi-

Urging passage of the meas
ure were 38 organizations. in

trict tSilver Spring Wheaton

q cents per 500 of assessed valu-
alton to pay off the bonds over a
30-year period. Excluded would

Mr.. Fauver maintained this
was fair because the hospital
primarily would serve the east

for nearly half the county's
population.
Opponents charged this was
arbitrary. unfair and undemo-
cratic"
Julian A. Bartolini, chairman
of the referendum association
said that because the hospital
would be open to all residents
it should be supported on q

Mr.. Bartolini and others urged

MuddIed Matter
For Clearing House
By JACK JONAS

There's a fellow who does
most of his banking by mail
and an incident a few days
back has left him wondering
If there's any way to unstop
a stopped payment on a
check.
He had a $50 check, in
dorsed it for deposit, put it in
the special bank envelope,
and attached a stamp.
But somewhere, in the rush
Of living that day, he lost the
envelope. He called the man
who'd sent him the check,
asked him to stop payment
and send another check.
The man said sure. Then
this fellow who lost the enve-
lope called his own bank and
explained the circumstances.
The new check arrived
promptly the next day, and
our friend was in process of
making out a new mail de-
post when his bank called.
The check he'd been worried
about, they said, had already
arrived, been deposited in his
account and was on the way
to the clearing house.
So he called once more the
man who had sent both
checks, and asked him if he
could unStop the stopped
payment. The man said he
didn't know, either, but he'd
do what he could.
Our friend says the whole
thing left him with a warm
feeling for his unknown bene-
factor who'd found the lost
envelope and dropped it in a
mailbox.
