Virginia Voters Pick
jolly ToIker, Athlete

Two lawyers were nominated
for congressional races BY Dem
ocrats yesterday in Virginia's
only contested elections.
Tenth district voters chose
Joseph II. Freehill. a jovial.
smooth talking member Of the
Fairfax Board Of County Super
visors.
In the LIST district the party
selected tall. athletic Thomas
N. Downing. 80. who played polo
when he went 10 the Virginia
Military Institute.
Downing Can Relax
Mr.. Downing can relax now.
He has the solid support of
the Democratic organization In
his district. and no Republican
opposition In November.
Mr.. Freehill figures he stands
10 lose a few pounds from his
stocky figure before the No
vember election Is over. He has
the task Of trying TO unite the
nearby Virginia Democrats 10
defeat Republican Represent
alive Broyhill. who has beaten
three other Democratic nomi-
nees since the district was Gre
ated in 1852.
The 10th district nominee
Is a native New Yorker who has
lived In Virginia 20 years. He
has been q diligent civic worker,
serving on everything from Boy
Scout organizations to a juve-
nile detention home committee.
FreehIll Likes TO Talk
One thing which has stood
Mr. Freehill in good stead Is
that he likes to talk. Some
times his colleagues on the
Fairfax County Board sit in
amazement at his erudite and
often fiowery phrases.
Mr.. Freehin graduated from
Fordham University and Har-
ward Law School. He has
served in various capacities In
the Government and was direc-
tor Of the ONCE Of Price Sta
bilization. He now is in private
practice in the firm Of Fanelli
a. Freehill.
The candidate was called a
dreamer" by one Of his OPP
ponents in the primary. Henry
Fowler, a prominent Alexandra
Democrat, answered the charge
at a rally: How could he be a
dreamer with a family like he
has?" Mr.. Freehill has six
children. three boys and three
girls. The Oldest voted for the
first time yesterday.

and Planning Commission or
the Rockville City Council TO
intervene In the case.
Al stake Is a coming proW-
sion that permits authorities 10
withhold commercial rezoning
of property lying within the
taking lines for road-widening
projects.
Millions Could he Lost
Successful chsllenge OF the
present practice could result
indirectly In costing State and
county governments literally
millions OF dollars In increased
riehts-of-way costs under their
big bodybuilding programs.
Under existing law, author
tiles have the right to adopt a
master plan Of highways and
to prohibit any construction
within the intended right-of-
way lines.
Ofiicials argue that II con-
struction is prohibited within
the right-of-way. then there
is no reason 10 rezone land for
more intensive use.
Inflated Values Prevented
The indirect result Of this is
to prevent establishment OF
artificially inflated values or
land requested for rezoning
from residential TO commercial
or industrial use.
The present challenge to the
practice has been made by At
torneys Edward s. Northrop
Arthur @. Lambert and Walter
S. Furlow. jr., on behalf Of the
Congressional School Of Aero
natutics, Inc, of Rockville.

dria Water Co. could get a rate
rduction of 10 to 80 per cent
IL the city and county acquire
the company.
TIE county authority's re-
port outlined its progress since
it was organized last fall in
setting up an integrated county
water system.
Plan Falls Through
Samuel Neel. authority chair
man. recalled in the report that
an effort to join with Falls
Church in getting Potomac wa
ter had fallen through.
Accordingly, our consult
ing engineers are at work in
an effort to devise a plan
which would permit the au-
thority to finance its own river
crossing connecting to the
Dalecarlia facilities" Mr.. Neel
said.
Falls Church now gets its
water from Dalecarlia through
Arlington County lines, but is
planning to build its own con-
nection. The authority pro-
posed that the expensive con-
nection be financed by the city
and the county and that the
two jurisdictions establish
definite service areas to ward
of a fight for customers.
Authority Criticized
The authority has been
sharply criticized by a citizens
committee for trying to make
a deal with Falls Church and
for not developing long-range
plans for getting Potomac wa
ter.
Mr.. Neel said the authority
has directed its engineers to
develop a master plan out
lining a step-by-step program
including the acquisition OF
the private water companies
as well as the development of
an independent source of sup
ply from the Potomac River. "
The independent source pre-
sumably would be county
owned filtration and pumping
facilities on the Virginia side
which eventually would elimi-
nate the need for getting water
from the Districts source.
Joint Project Favored
Mr.. Neel said the authority
still feels that a Joint arrange.
ment with Falls Church on the
crossing to Dalecarlia "offer:
the quickest and cheapest
method Of getting water to the
county from Dalecarlia, He
said the authority plans tc
continue negotiations with the
city even though they may not
be successful.
The master plan would in.
clude making water available Il
the towns of Fairfax, Vienna
and Herndon.
The town Of Fairfax is con.
sidering construction of a new

by the Fairfax County govern
ing body.

leaders who had conducted a
vigorous campaign against the
proposed shift.
The major objection OF the
liberals was not 10 biennial cleo
tons. but 10 holding them on
even-numbered years-at the
same time as the national
races. They feared that this
system would encourage the
Democrats and Republicans to
run county board candidates
with the hope Of winning on
the strength Of national party
tickets.
Liberals In Control
The board campaigns have
been dominated In recent years
by the local nonpartisan organ
izations. The liberals. through
their Arlingtonians for a Better
County organization. now have
board control and. with the
present inactive status Of the
conservative Arlington Inde-
pendent Movement. are without
organizational opposition.

that their county government
control would be jeopardized by

supporters Arguments
Supporters Of the proposed

Arlington would benefit by cut
ting down on the number OF
board races. which have caused
bitter fractionalism in the
county. and that balloting
should be held on even-num-
bered years because Of larger
voter turnouts.

ing for a yes" vote was the
county's Republican Party,
