Fairfax Church
VIII Sponsor
Is Refugees

st. Mary's Catholic Church at
Fairfax Station, Va, will begin
the new year by sponsoring 25
Hungarian refugees seeking to
make their homes in this erea
The refugees will be met at
Union Station at IL O'Clock to-
night and taken by bus to the
church's parish hall where they
will be housed temporarily until
jobs and homes can be found
for them.
The Rev. Robert E. OKane,
pastor Of the Fairfax County
Ecourch. will meet the refugees
when they arrive from Camp
Kilmer. N. j. With him will be
a Red Cross representative and
several volunteer Interpreters.
Father O'Kane said the parish
plans to help rs Hungarians
eventually but will take rs at a
time because Of limited facilities.
The church's parish hall has
been converted into a dormitory
with cots borrowed from the
Fairfax County civil defense
organization and bedding and
household items donated by
parish members.
Food has been pledged by
store owners in the area and
by members Of the parish.
Father O'Kane said one diff
Guilty in planning for the ar
rival of the refugees is that he
has b6tn unable to find out the
number Of men, women and
children in the group.

would fare best with q local
sales tax or combination
State-local one. This Is because
a State levy would take more
money out of prosperous North
Iern Virginia than would be
returned.
More policing of current tax
sources might help the revenue
picture a little. Arlington. Fair
fax and Falls Church, for in
stance. might copy Alexandria
and refuse to issue local license
tags until personal property
taxes are paid.
Still. there will have to be
more bond issues to build more
schools. The communities should
try to cooperate in the sale Of
bonds in order to avoid forcing
each others interest rates up.
The often-heard plea for adj
ditional Federal aid-because
Government activity has caused
so much of the areas painful
growth-got little sympathy
from the committee. It vas
reasoned that Federal activity
has brought prosperity as we'll
as problems. The communities
were urged to concentrate on
getting Federal lands released
for private use.
New Revenue Sources
Some kind of increased con-
sumer tax offers the best hope Of
new revenue sources. Barring q
local or State-local tax which
Virginia is unlikely to adopt, the
area might consider hiking busi-
ness license taxes high enough
to make merchants pass them
on to consumers.

satisfactory answers. with facts

A two-year study just COM
Ipleted by the Northern Virginia

comprehensive rundown of the
areas financial woes.
For a $4,000 investment. the
four participating communities
now have a text Of information
that normally would cost an es-
timated 100000 to assemble.
The $4,000 was spent to en-
ploy a research expert, DR.. Wiley

Florida, who did the spadework
collecting pertinent data for the
study.
IS on Survey Committee
The 25-member Fiscal Survey
Committee did the rest. The full
committee met monthly. SUBJ
committees met every night at
times when working on some
particular phase of the study.
Under the direction of Laszle
c. Ecker-Racz, chairman, and
Charles M. Platt, vice chairman,
the committee produced 13 sep
arate reports on various aspects
of Northern Virginia's financial
affairs.
The joint effort represents the
first time the four major juris-
dictionS in nearby Virginia have
taken a united look at their pro-
blems, and attempted to develop
closer corporation in solving
them.
I'VE found almost every pro-
blem we discussed was common
to all four governments" said
Mr.. Ecker-Racz. "The study GER
tainly shows our lives in north
ern Virginia are so interrelated
that we cannot afford to 60 of
on individual tracks"
In summary, here are some of
highlights of the study:
Northern Virginia has come a
long way in recent years in pro-
viding better schools and better
public services of all kinds. While
the demands of a rapidly growing
population have been difficult to
meet, the area still has managed
to show improvement each year.
Debt Grows to 500 Million
This development has brought
about increased tax burdens, and
the areas debt has grown to
500 million. Yet, real
estate taxes are not unduly high
when compared with other urban
areas in the United States.
The four communities can ex-
pect continued growth-and con-
tinued demands for more and
better services, especially with so
many new residents moving in
all the time who want things
like they were back home"
This means more revenue has
to be found somewhere. If the
State sees fit to authorize a
sales tax, Northern Virginia
