TALL TALE TOLD
BY 12-YEAR-OLDER
TURNS OUT HOAX

A 12-year-old boy with a
vivid imagination kept Fair
fax juvenile authorities busy
for several hours yesterday.
The boy. flunking his fifth
grade work and apparently
trying to build up sympathy
for the time report cards are
due, said he was abducted.
blindfolded. taken into the
woods and beaten by four
teen-agers who picked him
up in their car while he was
walking to school in the
Mount Vernon area.
He told his parents that
he got a club and wandered
around in the woods for a
long time looking for the
boys.
Juvenile officials doubted
the story when they discov-
cred the boy was six feet
tall. They said he finally
admitted TO his parents that
the story was a hoax.

about As merchants, most Of
them wholesale food dealers, that
the plan for razing their estab-
lishments has been delayed.
1T means" he said, you
probably can stay in business
from three to nine months be-
yond the original schedule"
Mr.. Burrows made the an.
nouncement at a meeting spon-
sored by the wholesale food divi-
sion Of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association to
discuss relocation problems. 1t
was held in the Washington
Hotel.
He credited the reprieve to
delays in plans for construction
of a school and freeway on and
through an area referred to by
the merchants as the Twelfth
Street Business Complex"
Most Merchants Affected
Most, but not all, of the re-
development areas $50 mer-
chants are affected by the
change in timing.
Generally. Mr.. Burrows said.
the delay, which came to his
attention earlier in the day. will
affect the area bounded on the
no. - and --~.n by E and G
streets. respectively. and those
blocks running west from Fourth
to Twelfth street.
He told his listeners they could
add the three to nine months to
the old RIA schedule which
called for clearing of the area
between Fourth and Sixth streets
by the present date. the area be-
tween Sixth and Eleventh streets
by September of this year, and
the area between Eleventh and
Twelfth streets by January 81,
1858. THE heat is off for the
time being" he added.
Mr.. Burrows explained that he
learned OF some of the delays in
the school and freeway plans
"only a few hours" before the
meeting. and that it would take
him about two weeks to deter
mine the exact effect on RIA
procedures. He added, however,
that the agency will continue its
task Of Offering and accepting
prices for Southwest home and
business sites. He termed syn
cronizing the overall plan with
"interlocking efforts" as the
RLA's biggest headache"
Delay Welcomed

of a frosted foods concern in the
affected area, hailed the delay
as a welcome development. but
where's still not much time left
for the Southwest merchant to

He told Godfrey Thornett. Sec
rotary to the Board of Commits
sioners. who represented the
Commissioners at the meeting,
that the merchants present, most
Of them being in the hotel sup

sidering moving to Maryland or
Virginia.
II they do, he said. they'll be
taking with them the taxes on
their collective SIS million worth
of business a year.
He told the gathering the
Southwest businessmen have
been deserving definite help
from the Commissioners in find-
ing relocation sites.
IF we see no movement ION

Mr.. Eacho declared. the mer-
chants will do the moving. and
they'll move out Of the District

MIR. SMOOT
Virginia, said the former Alex
andria vice mayor, lis governed
today by a small ruling class
tightly organized and financially
powerful. In the Legislature they
control the State through the
large roll vote plus a small num-
Der of Delegates and Senators
who represent not their own
constituents so much as the
rulers themselves. My opponent
is one of the latter"
He said the ruling class has
selected three main groups of
enemies-the independents, or
ganized labor and those persons
dedicated to public education
who are willing If need be to
sacrifice their political standing
yes, and even their good names
to keep the public schools open y
To divide these groups, Mr.
Smoot said. the ruling class
has come up with a new weapon
They have coined the dirty
word integrationist and hurled II
Unfortunately at every mar
and woman who is unwilling tc
swallow their prescription for the
present school situation"
He acknowledged that he
served as campaign manager fol
Gov. Stanley and also for Vir-
ginia's other symbol of passive
resistance, Senator Harry F
Byrd. He said he served in that
capacity before the segregation
question had arisen.
