their convention at $3.50 pm
Tuesday at the Fairfax Court
house.
With so much unanimity or
the surface at least, party lead
ers say the Stevenson movement
might be just the dose the ailing
Democratic Party has needed in
Northern Virginia in the past
four years.
The 10th District has been in
the Republican column in the
past two Congressional elections
and currently is represented by
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican. In 1852. 10th District
voters gave Eisenhower 45.l43
votes and Stevenson 29,762 votes
Biggest Problem
Fairfax Party leaders noted
that among those who appeared
to be lined up behind Stevenson
are some from the conservative
wing OF the Democratic Party
The liberal-conservative split
has been the Democratic Party's
biggest problem, with Republi-
can candidates enjoying support
of conservative Democrats who
refused to go along with liberal
nominees of their own party.
Eighty-one persons have filed
for election as delegates to the
State convention from Fairfax
County. The county is entitled
to 70 votes. One political leader
said to further the interests of
harmony. it may be decided to
send all those who have filed
with instructions to cast the
county's 70 votes as a unit.
Leaders of the Stevenson
movement said a resolution
definitely would be offered to
instruct the Fairfax delegation
to vote for Stevenson. The Alex.
andria. Falls Church and Ar
lington delegations are going

Iuninstructed, but are believed in
the Stevenson column.
Formed Club
The Stevenson movement was
launched in Northern Virginia
last November by a group Of
Democrats who formed the 10Th
District Stevenson-for- President
Club. Mrs. Anne wilkins, men,
Der Of the Fairfax Board Of
County Supervisors, is the tenn
porary chairman of that group
and one of its organizers. Others
who have been active in its for
nation include Fairfax Sheriff
John Taylor; A. Burke Hertz,
Falls Church commissioner Of
revenue: Delegate c. Harrison
Mann of Arlington and George
Faith and Mrs. Marion Galland
of Alexandria.
The apparent harmony over
Stevenson is in contrast to the
situation four years ago, when
Northern Virginia delegations to
the State Democratic Conyen-
ton were split among several
candidates.
Although it looks like North
ern Virginias delegates will 90
to the State convention in gen.
eral agreement on candidate
this time, the real test of how
much the Stevenson movement
has helped mend the party will
come in November.
Democratic leaders enthusi-
astically predict a better party
showing in this general election,
but they aren't kidding them
selves about all fences being
mended. They are aware that
the Stevenson movement has
glided along easily because some
OF the party's more conservative
members have been staying out
OF politics-perhaps waiting to
vote Republican when the gen.
eral election rolls around.

Arlington's old planning COM

members who took Office in 1853
The conservatives took a dim
view of the commission stated
by the more liberal faction. 1t

commission was too unwieldy.
Courthouse Heads Agenda
To do the work of the COM
mission the board set up two
advisory groups-the Zoning and
Land Use Committee and the
Arlington Development Commit
tee. These will go out of exist
: ence when the new commission
takes over.
The commissions first job will
be to make recommendations on
whether the present courthouse
should be enlarged or a new
building built nearby to handle
the overflow. A bond issue was
approved on June for court
house construction but specific
plans have not been adopted.
The new commission will have
all the powers of the old. 1t will

dations on any other matter the
