Fairfax Hits

On Highways

The Fairfax Board of Coun-
ty Supervisors today strongly
urged the State to review its
policies Of assigning danger
Gus felons" to State road gangs
Recalling the kidnapping Of a
79-year-old county man by two
convicts last July. Supervisor
A. Claiborne Leigh said the
value Of the whole system is
suspect"
Mr.. Leigh noted that he hao
written to Col. Richard w
Copeland, director of the State
Department Of Welfare and In
situations, suggesting several
revisions Of State policy.
an its zest to rehabilitate
the bad pennies of our society
Mr.. Leigh wrote Col. Copeland
1.-The State may inadvertently
overlook the inherent danger
to the everyday safety Of moth
ers, housewives and school chill
dren in assigning convicts with
q predisposition to violence
anywhere outside the peniten-
tiary."
Mr.. Leigh asks that the Statt
consider:
More careful screening Of thu
traits of persons assigned II
road camps.
Increasing the security guart
at the road camps and on roat
| jobs.
Excluding murderers anC
persons convicted of crimes Of
comparable severity" from road
camps.
Last July two convicts. one
Of whom had murdered his
father in a drunken brawl
kidnapped 79-year-old Peter M
Nelson. The convicts late
were captured and Mr.. Nielsor
was found safe in Pennsyl'
vania.
Mr.. Leiglfs motion to ash
the State to review its policies
was seconded by Supervisor
Anne wilkins. The motor
passed unanimously.
Supervisor r. P. Ovenshint
suggested that the resolution
be broadened to include thu
whole question Of using Of con
vict labor on State roads.
Gen. Ovenshine proposed
that County Executive c. C
Massey talk the situation nve1
with Fred Burroughs, reslden
engineer Of the State Hignwa!

Interior to be Changed
Mr.. Barrow said virtually the
entire interior Of the structure
probably will be torn out, re-
designed and rebuilt. A modern
facade is to be built around
the building up to the second
floor, he said. Air conditioning
will be provided throughout.
Under the plans, the three
upper floors of the Peoples
Drug Store building adjoining
the old Star are to be demol-
ished to permit more outside
exposures for the hotel rooms
The drug store is part of the
old Star property.
Mr.. Barrow estimated the

about SIS million.
He and Mr.. Nobel propose tc

interests for operating the mo-
tor hotel, Mr.. Barrow said.
