PERSONALITY
Zoning Issue Started
Mrs. Wilkins Career
By PAUL HOPE
star star Writer

Mrs. Anne wilkins, first
woman 70 become chairman Of
the Fairfax Board Of County
Supervisors. Is o firm believer
In women in politics" Mrs.
Wilkins. elected chairman yes
terday. said that more women
should be active in politics,
especially ct the local level.
Women are interested In the
things that AFFECT the homes
and schools. They really know
more about these things than
men. It's the woman Of the
house who knows whether the
trash man Is doing a good Job. "
Interviewed at her Munson
Hill home near Bailey Cross
roads, the new chairman said
she has found that the "preju-
dice Of men" Is the most difn-
cult thing q woman has TO
overcome in politics.
while most Of them win not
admit 1t. men resent women's
participation In politics. They
believe q woman can't think
as well as q man."
South Carolina Native
Mrs. wilkins has been active
in politics since her college days
at Winthrop College In Rock
Hill. s. c.. her home town. She
organized the Roosevelt Gar :
ner Club In college in 1882, and
the Young Democratic Club OF
York County. S. c., the same
year. She was national COM
mitteewoman from South Caro-
lima for the Young Democrats
in 1888.
When she first came to the
Washington area In the mid
l930s, she was not so active In
politics. However, her wrath
was stirred by q rezoning de-
cision in l947 and she plunged
into county politics.
Mrs. wilkins had led the OPP
position against rezoning the
land now occupied by Willston
Apartments near Seven Cor
ners. Almost every resident Of
the area was opposed to the
rezoning. but the County Board
rezoned 1t anyhow" she said.
II decided something needed to
be done in Fairfax County"
Grassroots Campaign
She called on women in set
ting UP a grassroots political
organization which probably
has no equal in the county. A
key woman was picked out in
each subdivision in her dis
trict to build the organization
which carried her to easy VIC
tory in the county board races
in 1851 and 1855.
Asked IL she has further poll
teal ambitions. Mrs. wilkins
reply was. Everybody in poll
tics has political ambitions.
She has been mentioned as q
possible candidate for Congress.
Mrs. wilkins can look back
on many hard-fougnt issues in
the six years she has been on
the county board. Many Of
them have involved coming.
She said she looks on re-
coming applications from the
overall good for the county.

some 5000 bigger next year
than they are now.
School officials estimated the
salary proposals would cost
100000 for present teachers.
The funds requested for ele-
mentary and secondary teach
ers total SIS million. a $2.3 mil
lion increase.
Total Would Be $3.50 Million
The operating budget coupled
with DR.. Whittier's proposals
for capital construction would
bring the total school budget
to $3.50 million.
This is exclusive Of some S3.7
million expected to be required
for payments on bonds previ-
ously floated to finance school
construction.
In addition to county funds,
the budget would be financed
with State and Federal aid. DR..
Whittier said that overriding
Gov. McKeldin's. veto Of the
teachers pay bill by the Gen.
eral Assembly would mean
SIP million to the county. Fail
ure of the county to get the
money would mean another IL
cents added TO the tax rate.
About 80 per cent of the
budget would be spent for sal-
aries. DR.. Whittier said.
The budget includes a pro-
poSal to provide a group in
surance plan for all school
employees. estimated to cost the
county $3.50, 900. Under the
Whittier recommendation, the
county would pay one-half the
premium Of such an insurance
plan.

The budget is broken down
into nine divisions. Funds re-
queSted by the divisions are;

CHARLOTTE. N. c., Jan. o.
Federal Judge Albert v.
Bryan should not have ordered
admission Of seven Negroes TO
white Arlington schools until
local school authorities had an
opportunity to pass on their
applications. the Fourth Cir
cult Court Of Appeals was told
today.
This was one Of the argu-
ments set forth by attorneys
for the State Of Virginia and
Arlington County in asking re-
versal Of Judge Bryan's inte-
grafton order. Judge Bryan's
order has been stayed pending
outcome Of an appeal.
Henry Wickham. special Viz
ginia counsel on indignation,
told the appellate court that
one part Of Judge Bryans de-
cree seems to wipe out the
Pupil Placement Law"
II this Is the case, said Mr..
Wickham. Judge Bryan should
have given the Arlington School
Board an opportunity to con-
slider the Negroes applications
before taking 1t upon himself
TO make the assignment.
Concession Noted
Mr.. Wickham's argument
marked the first time Virginia
publicly has conceded that To-
cal school bodrds may still
have authority TO assign pupils
II the Placement Law is no
longer valid.
He did not concede that the
Placement Law has been COM
pletely knocked out. but offered
the argument Just in case it
has.
Mr.. Wickham said Judge
Bryan had assigned the Ne
groes TO the nearest schools.
REGARDLESS Of proper school dis
tricts.
Three were assigned to
schools 70 which they never
would have been assigned by
the local school boards" said
Mr.. Wickham. IF Judge Bryan
has held that the local school
board has the power Of assign
ment, he should let the local
