Great Falls Site Studied
For Geological Building

The site of an old gold mine
near Great Falls, Md, is one of
several under consideration for
the new Geological Survey build
ing, General Service Administra-
ton officials said today.
But GSA was careful to point
out this is only one of a dozen
sites surveyed. In order to get
an approximation of land values,
several potential sites have been
investigated for more than a
year so GSA can propose a
definite prospectus.
Because the proposal is pend
ing before the Senate and House
Public Works Committees, there
is still no definite project, per-
hitting money to be spent.
ease-Purchase Proposed
GSA has proposed that a $22.-
100000 Geological Survey build
ing, with 772,000 square feet
gross floor area, be constructed
under lease purchase. with the
Government paying rent until
the contractor is paid back over
a term of years. The Govern
ment would first negotiate with
a contractor to erect the build
ing.
But approval of the two con-
gresSional committees is neces-
sary before GSA can negotiate.

Mr.. Latham said his plan
would meet objections that the
Dranesville area of the county
cannot be densely built up be-
cause of the sewage disposal
problem.
He was appearing before the
supervisors to oppose the pro-
posed Freehill coming amend
ment, which would require three
acre building lots for most of
that area.
Mr.. Latham said he had dis
cussed his plan with Col. Ray
Adams. District Engineer, and
that Col. Adams believes the pro-

Fairfax Board
Acts on Six
Rezonings
Four PIeos Granted;
Toynton Is Denied
Change to Suburban

Four rezoning applications
were granted and two were
denied at a regular coming ses-
sion of the Fairfax Board Of
County Supervisors yesterday.
All decisions were in line with
recommendations of the county
planning commission.
The controversial application
involved SO acres owned by Mark
ITaynton. which was denied. The
application asked a change from
rural to suburban residence of
the Taynton property, located
between Broyhill Park and Valley
Brooks subdivision.
The applicant said a county
sewer had been installed through
the property and it was imprac-
ltical to develop it on half-acre
lots required by a rural resi-
Idence zone. Suburban residence
permits 10000 square-foot lots.
Stool Rejection
Members of the Greater
Holmes Runs Citizens ASSocia-
ton protested that much of the
area already was developed on
lhalf-acre lots. They argued that
the rural residence zone there
fore should be maintained and
urged denial of the application.
The Taynton application was
denied by a vote of 6 to /, with
supervisor Stewart DeBell cast
ing the only dissenting vote.
1 Also denied was an application
of Albert P. Mergardt to rezone
four acres at the southwest
corner of Glencarlyn and Knoll
wood drives from suburban to
urban residence to permit con-
Istruction of apartments.
Applications Granted
The following applications
were granted: By John N. Camp
bell, Inc, to rezone 1.6 acres
west of the Culmore Shopping
Center from suburban residence
to general business; by Gareth
I'M. Neville. to rezone a half acre
Jon the north side of Maple street
Opposite Route $40 from sub
urban residence to general busi-
ness. Also by Willston Apart
ments to rezone two units from
suburban residence to general
business adjacent to the Seven
Corners Shopping Center, and
by Elsie M. Miller to rezone one
acre on the north side of Co.
lumbia pike east of Baileys
Crossroads from suburban resi-
dence to general business.
The supervisors awarded a
lS294, 597 contract to the Black

Istruction Of a large sewage
pumping station on Braddock
road.

The

Alexandria Airs
Some HeirIooms
BY JACK JONAS

Over in Alexandria people
have been finding out a lot
about themselves and about
old family portraits during the
past month.
This has come about through
the "Our Town" exhibit at
Gadsby's Tavern on Royal
street. The Alexandria AsSo-
citation has brought together
more than 200 portraits of
people associated with the city
from 1749 to 1855. All were
painted from life.
It's been something like
dragging grandfather's picture
down from the attic when
friends drop in, and then
hearing things that grand
father never let on about.
We've heard from several
people that our program has
given them facts about their
families they didn't know be-
FORE Mrs. Jay Walz, exhibit
ton chairman, said.
The program is an ambitious
114-page booklet, with many
of the portraits reproduced in
black and white, and with
gossipy tidbits about the peo-
pie represented in the exhibit.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-10

MOST EXCITING for those
running the exhibition is that
many of the portraits which
came in a month ago by I'M
known artists may be definitely
tied up with artists before it's
over.
We've had several experts
come in to give us help in
identifying the artists" Mrs.
Wall said. I'VE hope there will
be more experts who will want
to take a look at them.
They've uncovered a virtual
bevy of portraits which may be
attributed to Charles Bird
King, who was a favorite
around Washington for a long
time. The Smithsonian has
a collection of his studies of
American Indians.
For example, the portraits of
DR.. and Mrs. Orlando Fairfax,
listed in the program as
painted by unknown artists,
now are being considered by
the experts as the works of
King. DR.. Fairfax, a phySi-
clan, was the son of Thomas,
ninth Lord Fairfax, and lived
on Cameron street.
The portrait of John Hooff,
also in the program as by an
unknown artist, may be
another King, the experts
think. Hooff-a family name of
long standing in Alexandria,
was in the banking business
in that city for 40 years.
Another which may be at
tributed to King is a portrait
of Gen. John Mason, son of
George Mason of GunSton
Hall. Gen. and Mrs. Mason
were famed for their enter
tanning at their home on
Analostan Island-now Theo-
dore Roosevelt Island-where
such notables as Louis PHILIPPE
and the Marquis de Lafayette
were guests.

MossMeetings to Hear
Revised Zoning Explained

The Citizens Zoning Advisory
Committee will explain revised
District coming proposals to resi-
dents at series of mass meet
Iings. starting June 10.
The sessions will be held each
might from Monday through Fri
day for two weeks, with each of
the 10 meetings covering diff
lferent section of the city.
The basis Of the sessions will
be a new set of coming regula-
Itions, prepared by the consultant
firm of Harold M. Lewis of New
York and set of maps showing
the new coming classifications
for every parcel of property in
the city. The new regulations
and maps are expected to be sent
to civic groups in about a week
for advance study.
Reaction Sought
Purpose of the meetings is to
Iprovide the consultant with citi-
zen reaction to his proposals. On
the basis of the reaction, Mr..
Lewis will submit a final draft
of the new coming rules to the
Commissioners by November.
Their adoption will be consid-
cred after formal public hearings
then by the District Zoning
Commission.
Members of Mr.. Lewis firm,
the citizens advisory group
headed by Banker Thomas j.
Groom. and District and Fed
eral agencies will be on hand at
the June public meetings to ex-
plain the new proposals and an
swer questions about them.

THE PROGRAM poses O,

THE PROGRAM poses one
puzzle which now seems fairly
well solved.
One portrait of a young
man is listed as "Bushrod or
Corbin Washington, artist I'M
known, C. 1777-87."
The portrait is the subject
of continuing research the
program says. ITO date the
artist cannot be given a name,
though he was undoubtedly a
master. AS for the subject, is
it Bushrod Washington or his
brother Corbin? -"
The continuing research"
has apparently borne fruit,
because the portrait now is
labeled ''Bushrod Washington,
Bembridge." In a letter now
owned by Miss Anne Washing
ton, Bushrod wrote his parents
at length describing the paint
ing of the portrait and how he
picked Henry Bembridge over
Charles Wilson Peale.
The exhibit originally was
scheduled to end Saturday,
but it has been SO successful
that it has been extended for
another two weeks.
Mrs. Wall hopes that by then
many Of the portraits now
listed as artist unknown"
will have been identified.

Know Your Social Security

+, also to the wife of a retired in
sured worker receiving benefits.
In her case, however, the amount
of the monthly benefit she would
get, if she chose to claim pay
ments at. age 62, would be rs
percent of what she would get
if she waited until she reached
age 65. AS in the case of the
woman worker, the wife's mon
thly payments will be a little
larger each month she defers
claiming benefits after her 62nd
birthday and before she reaches
IS. However, if her retired in
sured husband should die at any
time after she has begun to re-
ceive her reduced benefits she
will begin receiving full widows
benefits plus the lump-sum
death payment.
Now that the starting age for
women beneficiaries is 62 instead
of IS, less time in work covered
by social security may be re-
quired in some cases for a wo-
man worker to become insured.
Generally, the required time is
one-half the time elapsing after
1850 up to the time she reaches
age 62 instead of age 65, with a
minimum of at least 1h years
of covered work. Under the
amended law, a person who
works continuously after 1855
can become insured with fewer
quarters of coverage.
l mentioned insured status for
women workers because it is i'm
portant not only to those now 62
or nearing that age, but also to
certain survivors dependent
children, widowers, or parents)
of some women workers who
reached age IS or died after
June 80, 1854, without having
enough covered work to be in
sured under the old law. If they
had enough work to be insured
under the amended law, they or
their survivors may be able to
qualify for benefit payments.
Today, I've explained how age
62 has become important to
women under the new social
security law. In my next article
I'll tell why age so is of great
significance to many now dis
abled workers formerly in en-
ployment or self-employment
that counts toward old-age and
survivors insurance benefits.
