Foirfox's New Boord
Opposes Burke Airport

The new Board of Supervisors
that took Office in Fairfax Coun-
ty on January has decided to
stick by the anti Burke airport
stand of the previous county adj
ministration.
BY a vote of 5 to /, the SUI
pervisors yesterday instructed
Chairman Joseph H. Freehill to
appear at a House subcommit-
tee hearing and oppose any ap-
preparation for the airport.
It was the first time the new
supervisors had taken an official
stand on the Burke airport issue
since January. when five out OF
seven seats on the board
changed hands. The previous
board had gone on record sew
eral times against the airport
project.
The new boards opposition
was stated in a motion offered
by Supervisor James Keith, Sec
onded by Mrs. Anne Wilkins,
Voting with them were Chair
man Freehill, Williams H. Moss
and Stuart DeBell. The one
dissenting vote was cast by Brig.
Gen Richard p. Ovenshine.

Trained from voting.
Ovenshine Gives View:
Gen., Ovenshine said after the
meeting that he did not oppose
Burke Airport because he hao
heard no better site suggested tc
relieve Washington National Air.
port. He said he considered 8
second national airport fol
Washington essential.
Chairman Freehill said he was
opposed to an airport at Burke
because he felt the noise of jet
airplanes would have an adverse
effect on residential development
in the area.
BY vote of 6-to-1 the super.
visors decided to fight annexa-
ton of county territory by the
town of Vienna. The town has
filed suit to double its area by
annexing 2 square miles from the
county.
Supervisor DeBell voted againsr
the resolution because he sale
he did not blame the town fol
seeking additional land from the
county. Mr.. DeBell said the
county had failed to cooperate
with the town by refusing tt
grant suburban rezoning appli-
cations around it. and declared
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-06-21

that the proposed county master
coming plan would hinder de-
velopment of the Vienna area by
restricting lot sizes around the
town to 8 acres.
Il think we are wasting money
to fight it.. said Mr.. DeBell.
The supervisors voted to re-
tain Attorney Robert j. Mccain
dish, jr., the engineering firm
of Hayes, Seay, Mattern g. Mat
tern. and the accounting firm
of Colley. Dulaney & Robinson

annexation litigation.
An amendment to the county's
subdivision control law imposing
sitter standards and regulations
for street construction and other
Improvements in subdivisions was
scheduled for public hearing at
p pm. July 10. Among other
things. the amendment would
require black top streets in all
new subdivisions. The existing
law permits dirt streets in sub
divisions.

ment. gave the supervisors q
tentative secondary road budget
for 1956-57 providing $973,229
i'm State funds and $l82,830 in

road improvements during the
fiscal year beginning July /.
Division of Money

would be divided into $500, 900
for ordinary maintenance; $780,
900 for maintenance replacement
work. and $323,229 for street
construction. Mr.. Bolton said
the construction sum would per-
init surfacing of 10 miles Of dirt
roads, Is miles of surfacing and
widening on existing hard sur
face roads, and 4 miles of heavy
surface treatment on top of ex-
listing hard-surface roads.
Two applications for CONNER
cial coming of adjoining parcels
containing 7 acres at the inter-
section of Back Lick and Edsall
roads were denied by a 6-to-l
vote. The dissenting vote was
cast by Supervisor DeBell.
The applicants were Howard

trustees for one parcel, and Jack
Coopersmith. They sought the
coming change to permit con-
lstruction of a shopping center.

Iron AgeSees
Rise in Prices
OF Steel Soon

NEW YORK. Dec. S (P.-Iron
Age. the weekly metal industry
magazine. today predicted a
rise in steel prices soon. Steel
companies face a serious problem
in rising costs, it said, and
something has to give"
If base prices are not in
creased, then steel price extras
charges made by the mills for
special processing and handling
will go up. Perhaps as much
as SO a ton," the magazine
stated.
1t said further the increase
will probably come in the form
Iof increases for extras as OPP
posed to a base price advance.
The pressure on prices comes
just as the industry is entering
lone of the busiest periods in
steel history" the Iron Age said.
This 'portends an upward break
in steel prices Soon," it added.
Record scrap prices are a
major threat to steel earnings, I"
the magazine said. Other mate
rial costs have also risen, it
added, and in the offing are pos
sible increases in freight rates
and a cost-of-li living wage boost
for steelworkers.
The magazine estimated that
by January l steel production
costs will have risen a conServ-
ative IS ton since the steel
labor settlement was reached
last August. The companies
boosted the base price of steel
an average of $3.50 a ton then,
but some mills considered this
to be less than was needed to
cover boosts up to that time.
The composite base price for
steel is now figured around $123
a ton.
