Norman E. Isaacs, chairman of
the committee and managing
editor of the Louisville Times.
Mr.. ISaacs said the views of
the editors and publishers ran
the complete range from violent
opposition IL the most enthuS-
Iiastic kind OF support"
There had been tentative plans
to spend S650,000 on the study
project which stemmed from
criticism iii some Democratic
quarters that America had a
l"one-party press favorable to
the Republicans in the 1852
election can,paign.
Mr.. Isaacs said that of the 76
publishers and editors polled, sc
opposed the study. Is supported
1T without reservation. 9 backed
lit conditionally, 2 were noncom-
initial and II were not yet re-
corded.
The proposal called for an
audit of the political news
carried by as many as $50 news
papers. 1t asked research.
through interviews with editor
into varied reasons why news
papers handled stories as the.

The number of steers on farms and
ranches on January was IA per cent

about rs per cent. Beef slaughter will
continue relatively large, but is likely
to drop sooner or later to the same
volume as last year.
Supplies of lower grades of cattle
will decline seasonally in the next two
months. Spring usually brings some
increase in demand for such beef. A

likely with poorest grades likely to

THE GENERAL level of farm prices
probably will be steady to slightly
higher in the next few months. The
farm price index in February was the
same as in January and l per cent
higher than last December, the post
war low point, but was z per cent
lower than year previous. Farm cash
income in January was about z per
cent lower than year ago.
Exports of farm products in 1855
were about per cent greater in both
volume and value than in 1854. The
increase was due mainly to government
export programs, although economic
conditions abroad also were better. New
and expanded programs this year prob
ably will bring little further increase
in farm exports, at least from govern
ment stocks.

Planners Urge
Smaller Lots
.At Annanda|e
Fuirfox Group Acts
On Residential Area
Of 10 Square Miles

The Fairfax County Planning
Commission has adopted specific
recommendations for the resi-
dental development of the 10
square-mile area around AMMAN
dale, Va.
Discussion of commercial de-
velopment of the town, sched-
uled for last night, was deferred
pending further study of pro-
posed roads.
Recommendations of the COM
mission include lot sizes smaller
than those proposed under the
Francis Dodd McHugh master
plan. While the McHugh plan
estimates a population of 24,715.
the smaller lot sizes proposed
by the commission would pro-
vide more than LOO additional
residents.
Lot sizes recommended by the
commission follow:
Urban development within a
half mile radius of the town,
with lot sizes of 10000 square
feet.
To the southwest of the town
lots will increase in size from
suburban residential. 1880
square feet. to 1900.
Northwest of the town, lot
sizes will graduate to one-half
acre.
Southeast of the town would
be one-half acre lot sizes in
creasing to one acre. with 1900
square-foot lots on the east.
Major revision of the NC
Hugh plan includes changing lot
sizes in the area south of An
Mandate from one acre to one
half acre. In this action, the
commission followed a policy of
not requiring lots over one-half
acre in undeveloped land which
can be severed. The one-acre
sites proposed were recon-
mended on the basis that a large
area had already been developed
on one-acre lots.
Changed from 1900 to H.
500-square-foot lots was the en-
tire Bristow tract southwest of
the town. The only undeveloped
area west of the town above
Route 236 was recommended for
12,500-square-foot lots.
The commission is scheduled
to add to its recommendation on
neighborhood developments at
meetings tonight, Monday and
possibly Tuesday in the board
room at the Fairfax County
courthouse. Its recommended
tons will go to the Board of
County Supervisors Wednesday.
A public hearing on proposed
coming amendments. based on th4
recommendations, will be held

Leesburg to Join
Fairfax in Petition
For Reservoir

The town of Leesburg has
agreed to join Fairfax in it's
petition Monday before the
Loudoun County Circuit Court
for permission to build a res
ervoir in Goose Creek in Loudoun
County.
Fairfax town officials also dis
closed that an agreement has
been signed between the two
towns giving Leesburg water at
cost similar to Fairfax.
Leesburg, under the agreement,
would build its own line to a
filter station which will be con-
structed at a 400-foot elevation
at the dam. This will provide
gravity water to Leesburg.
The agreement was signed by
Mayor John c. Wood of Fairfax
and Mayor E. B. White of Lees
burg.
The Fairfax petition for per-
mission to construct the dam will
be heard Monday by Judge Ray
ner v. Snead of the Loudoun
County Circuit Court.
