Merit Program

Fairfax County's police de-
partment has a merit system
for promotions, Police Chief Carl

by members of the County Board

formal conference on the pro-
posed budget for the fiscal year
beginning July /.
Board members referred to
news stories in which a con-
sultant on police problems was
quoted as saying Fairfax should

stories reported a panel discus
sion sponsored by the Fairfax

Associations March 81.
He told board members that
the merit system now in effect
lacks only a written examina-
ton and he questioned whether
such examinations are really
useful"
County Executive Carlton Mas
sey told the board he believes
the Fairfax police merit system
is one of the best in the county
government.

ueo TO parry questions as TO why
they had given DR.. Norris per-
mission Ito seek a situation else
where"
For the most part, the board
members refused to amplify the
brief statement Issued by the
board Wednesday after the story
of their decision had leaked to
Washington newspapers. The
statement said DR.. Norris has
asked that he be at liberty to
seek a situation elsewhere. in
which request the Board of Edu-
cation has concurred."
Applauded by Rotarians
Meanwhile. a gathering of $50
county Rotarians gave DR.. Norris
prolonged applause before and
after he addressed their meeting
Friday night in Kenwood Coun-
try Club. The Rotarians, includ-
ing officers and members from
all five county Rotary Clubs,
later adopted a resolution favor
ing the renewal of the superin-
tendent's contract unless 1.-THE
charges by the Board of Educa-
ton be of such a serious nature
as to justify his release"
Claude v. Hyson, a member of
the Bethesda Chevy Chase Ro-
tary Club and of the Republican
State Central Committee, said
the groups action was entirely
non-partisan. Mr.. Hyson, who
seconded the motion for the res
olution, said a Democratic lead
er. E. Brooke Lee, was among
principal hackers of the motion.
Mr.. Hyson said the school
board does not reflect the think

Norris release. he added, is part
OF "a battle between conser-

board"
