Tenant Relief
Asked by RIA

Redevelopment Land Agency
officials decided yesterday to ask
Federal officials If any relief can
be obtained for Southwest resi-
dents who are forced to make
double payments on property
seized by the agency for redevel-
opment.
The hardship, officials said.
comes about in the cases Of resi-
dents who must make morteage
payments on properties and at
the same time pay RIA rent for
occupying the same properties.
In a condemnation proceeding
on January II. RIA acquired
title to about 223 residential and
% business properties in an area
to be cleared as sites for new
Federal buildings. RIA said its
operating regulations require
that all residents Of these prop
critics become tenants as of the
taking date. and must pay rent.
In a number of cases, how
ever. home-buyers who have
mortgages outstanding on the
properties also have to continue
making those payments.
The problem occurs. RIA Of
'ficials said. because the agency
was not able to make money
available Immediately to the
property owners. so that the
mortgages could be paid of. Re-
sponsible for the delay is the
fact that titles must be cleared
before the Justice Department
can order a Federal court to re-
lease to the property owners
money posted with the court by
RIA in the condemnation.
The RIA board decided yes
terday to appraise the Housing
and Home Finance Agency Of the
problem. and ask whether there
could be any relief from the
hardship. possibly in waiver of
rents.
At the same time. the agency
will ask the Justice Department
to speed up the court orders so
that funds can be obtained by
the property owners as quickly
as possible,

The
Rambler
Economy Tips
For Uncle Sam

Traditions die hard in the
Nations Capital.
The city likes a good show,
and it's citizenry has a higher
per capita rate of nostalgia
than any other in the country.
But now that the Defense
Department is considering
eliminating horse-drawn Gals
sons from military funerals,
it might be a good time to
take a look at some other
costly traditions around here.
The Supreme Court, for
example, still clings tena-
ciously to its quill pens. These
are not as costly, admittedly,
as matched grays, but costly
nonetheleSs. Each morning of
court, sets of two are carefully
crossed in front of each chair
at the attorneys tables.
They serve no useful pur-
pose, except perhaps to remind
the assembled attorneys that
the dignity of the law goes
back beyond their memory.
And of what use is that, in
these days of the pared budget
and getting ahead?
1t might be difficult today to
find a Senator who takes snuff.
But in the Senate chamber
are two snuff boxes carefully
maintained and regularly re-
filled. There must be some ex-
penSe involved for the tax
payer.
And why is this done?
Well, they've always been
there and
Poppycock!

A PENNY SAVED is a penny

A PENNY SAVED is a penny
earned, and If the new Poto-
mac bridges ever get built, a
few pennies could be saved by
eliminating ribbon and shears
from the opening ceremony.
The official called upon to
formally open a bridge could
make the ceremony symbolic
by extending his hand in a
modified Winston Churchill
victory salute, then bringing
the two fingers smartly to-
gether in a shipping motion.
The Marine Bands Sunset
Parade is a tradition of some
standing here, too. Even a few
dyed-in-t he-wool cynics have
been known to feel a catch in
their hearts watching the
snappy march. But quite a bit
might be Topped from the de-
Tense budget if those fellows
were put to something useful,
such as KIP.
The dawn tradition of the
flag-raising on Government
buildings seems like a blatant
waste of manpower. One who
has watched the flags go up
virtually in unison might won-
der how this is done. It's a
system of carefully timed sig
nails flashed from building top
to building top among the
guards.
The guards have developed
a distinct pride in their flag
raising. But maybe, while
we're saving money, we could
look around for some kind of
mechanical flag raiser, and set
the guard to other tasks
perhaps bordering ways to
cut the budget.

Fairfax Seeks
STAT Million
For Schools
Proposed Budget
Could Boost Tax
Rute by 20 Cents

A record STAT million school
budget which could increase the
Fairfax County tax rate by about
20 cents per 500 valuation was
presented to the county school
board last night.
The proposed 1888 budget
submitted by Supt. w. T. Wood
son is $2.9 million larger than
the current school budget. an
increase of about Is per cent.
The proposed budget drew an
immediate comment from Board
Chairman Hills Lory that "the
county can't afford it."
However, another board men,
Der, Turner Hudgins, indicated
he would like to see funds added
for school construction to reduce
the need for bond sales.
Meet Again Tonight
The board will meet tonight at
Is o'clock. Friday night and Sat-
urday if necessary to go over the
budget item by item. officials
said the meetings would be open
to the public.
Salaries account for nearly
SLOT million or about 70 per cent
of the budget. This included pay
flor teachers and all administra-
tive and other personnel.
The budget provides for a
teachers pay scale of $500 to
$4,000. Pay raises for teachers
now in the system will cost $751;
900. which averages about $500
per teacher. About 200 new in
structional personnel are ex-
lpected to be hired at a cost of
I$926. 900.
The budget calls for $500
increase In Supt. Woodson's
salary. making it $15.500. Pro-
vision is made for a financial
adviser at a salary of 1880
and for director of surveys and
information at a salary of
Is6, $3.50.
Estimated enrolment for
1873 is $4,000 pupils. about
$500 more than at present.
3O7 New Classrooms
The budget anticipates the
addition of 307 new classrooms.
making a total of 1856. Total
new personnel. including teach
lerS, is set at 277.
The total operating cost is set
at sl2.2 million. an increase of
$2.1 million over the current
year.
The biggest percentage jump
lis in capital OUTLAWS and debt
service. These two items in
creased from SIT million in the
current budget to SIS million
in the proposed budget.
Under instructions from the
board, Mr.. Woodson included in
the capital budget payment for
some equipment for new schools
out Of current revenues rather
than bond funds. About $4,000
was set up for buying maps.
globes. charts. library books and
band instruments for schools to
be opened next session.
S2.2 Million for Debts
For debt service. the fund
used to pay of school bonds. Mr..
EWoodson set up $2.2 million. an
increase Of $550,000 over the
current budget. Part Of this
will pay the principal and 4.74
Iper cent interest rate on the SO
million bond issue sold in De-
Icember.
Funds also are set up for pay
ments on So million worth of
bonds which the board has talked
of selling in the spring. Mr..
Woodson said the debt service
figure would have to be revised
If the bonds are not sold.
The budget would require $9.8
million from local sources. most
of which would come from prop
erty taxes.
Increasing property values
will absorb a large part Of any
budget increase next year.

When the reply was in hearts.
where Mr.. Dale held five cards,
the outlook for small slam i'm
proved. Mr.. Dale now had suffi-
Gent distributional values to in
crease his nine points all the way
up to five tricks. His partners
opening bid had promised min
imum of seven tricks. After using
the Blackwood convention and
learning that his side held all the
aces he put the hand in a con-
tract of six hearts.
A diamond was opened and
Mr.. Champion put up dummy's
jack. The queen was played on
his right and he won with the
king. He pulled two rounds of
trumps and then paused to plan
some way to avoid the loss of a
spade and a club.
His next play was the ace of
diamonds, followed by diamond
ruff in dummy. Now he cashed
the ace and king of spades. PLAN
ming to give up a spade trick in
an effort to force a favorable re-
turn.
Mrs. Keen was alert to the dan
ger and on the second spade
dropped the queen. thus arrang-
ing for her partner to win the
third round of the suit with the
jack. This was the best she
could do. but it was not good
enough.
Mr.. Abel had only clubs and
diamonds left. He figured cor
rectly that if he returned a dia-
mond Mr.. Champion would ruff
in his hand and discard the ten
Of clubs from the board. There
fore he led back the trey of
clubs. In some situations like
this Mr.. Champion would have
had a pure guess as to whether
to play his queen or let the lead
run to dummy's ace-ten. Here.
however, he played low from his
hand without hesitation.
The clue was Mrs. Keen's des-
perate unlocking of the queen
OF spades. Almost surely she
made that play because she
didn't want to be forced to lead
away from the king of clubs. OF
course if she held both king and
jack of clubs. no line of play
would bring home the slam, but
Mr.. Champion had made his best
play and it resulted in IL tricks.
