BurkIund Urges
Annexation Vote

A Fairfax County Republican
candidate for the Board of
Supervisors has suggested that
the county'S annexation prob
lens be settled by referendum.
Glenn A. Burklund, who
seeks the board seat represent
ing Providence District, said he
believes the fair and equitable
way" of reaching a solution is
to let it be settled by the people
involved.
Il believe in the basic prin-
ciple that the people them
selves are the best judges OF
what is right for them, and
that whatever is right for the
people is best for Fairfax
County and the various towns
and cities involved in annexa-
ton moves" Mr.. Burklund said
in a statement opening his
campaign.
Mr.. Burklund, who spoke at
a rally Saturday night in Dunn
Loring, simultaneously started
the distribution of petitions
asking the General Assembly to
enact enabling legislation to
put the plan into effect.

Rockville Youth
Held in Assault
On Stote Trooper

A21-year-old Rockville youth
was charged with asSaulting a
Maryland State trooper yes
terday after the policeman had
arrested the mans twin brother
on a traffic charge.
Junior c. Quesenberry of the
1900 block of Rockville pike
was accused of assaulting the
trooper, William H. Hurley.
Quesenberry was freed under
500 bond today after a hear
ing in Rockville Peoples Court

Der %.
The incident occurred at the
State police substation at the
intersection of Route 240 and

Trooper Hurley earlier had
stopped Juniors brother Alfred

Sters will be taken out of their
normal classes to attend them.
The program was announced
over a year ago by Supt. Carl
F. Hansen when he made a
budget request for nine Ian
guage teachers for this school
year. Congress appropriated
the money earlier this year.
School officials are asking
for an additional nine teachers
in the 1960-61 budget so that
the language program may be
extended to the fourth agrade.
Ultimately, it is hoped to offer
at least French and Spanish
through the sixth grade.
DR.. Hansen announced most
of the program about a month
ago. Until today, however, the
names of the participating
schools had not been released.
Miss Lyons said there still is
a chance that changes may be
made as to which schools will
participate.
Twenty-six of the schools
will be offering French, she
said, and 20 will be offering
Spanish. A total of 81 classes

RICHMOND, Aug. 81 (AP)
One area in which the States
reign supreme is the compila-
ton of vital statistics.
Into the Bureau of Vital Sta
tistics, which occupies a two
story building on Richmond's

nation that reflects the main
stream of life in every corner
of Virginia-reportS of births,
deaths, marriages. divorces
adoptions and name changes,
Original records in all cate
gorieS are stored here.
Gathering such information
is a State function. There are
no Federal statutes on the
subject. However, statistical in
formation from the so States
is funneled into Washington
where figures for the Natior
are compiled by the Public
Health Service.
Compiling this mass of sta
tisticS on a State level, anG
answering a multitude of re-
quests for information, is g
staff of 80 persons headed by
Deane Huxtable, 41-year-old

Negroes Told
To Fight
Crime Wave

Negroes must take the lead
in controlling the Capitals cur
rent crime wave. the preSi-
dent of the District chapter of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie declared yesterday.
The Rev. E. Franklin Jack
son, pastor of the John Wes-
ley African Methodist Episco-
pal Zion Church, told his con-
gregation they must fight
against conditions that breed
crime.
Such conditions, he said,
are being created by driving
out low-income groups from
the Southwest development
area without provision to
house them adequately else
where.
Tell the Redevelopment
LAND Agency and the dis
trict) Commissioners that they
are creating a breeding
ground for the very conditions
they seek to eliminate and cor

The minister charged that
the city is building for whites
alone"
DR.. jackson said that "the
anti-social. criminal and de-
linquent in the community is
our responsibility, but is not
our responsibility as a race
group any more than that of
the total community which has
made him what he is"
He added that more juvenile
court judges and more police
men ARE but stop-gap meas
ures."
Mr.. Jackson said the Negro
community must join with
every force to bring about bet
