Fairfax Vefoes
Probe Of
Hospital Work

The Fairfax County Super
visors announced last night
they will use their subpoena
powers TO collect sworn testi-
mony in the Fairfax Hospital
investigation.
After a closed 2Ia-hour ses-
sion, the supervisors said they
agreed no grand Jury needed
to be called to investigate the
hospital project because there
was no evidence Of crime.
The supervisors said they will
first question the architect,
William Francis Schorn.
Decision Unanimous
The unanimous decision was
to investigate SO that the hos
pital will be constructed Gin a
competent manner with dis
patch" the supervisor an
nounced.
The decision apparently
ended the life of the board of
inquiry. which had been ap-
pointed by the supervisors in
July to check into a work stop
page at the So million, 300-bed
hospital project on Gallows
road near U. s. Route so.
The board of inquiry, after
four hearings, submitted re-
ports criticizing coordination
between the architect and his
general contractor. and asked
for a further investigation.
Dispute Reported
The supervisors noted yes
terday that a confidential re-
port from the inquiry board
contained material relating
solely to the dispute between
the architect, and the general
contractor ="
The board of inquiry had
complained that its investiga-
tive powers were limited be-
cause it had no power to sub
poena witnesses or to require
them to testify under oath. The
supervisors said they will use
these powers in continuing the
investigation. with the concur
renee of Commonwealth Attor-
ney Robert C. Fitzgerald.
Hospital Commission Chair
man Donald L. wilkins said
the hospital will be finished on
schedule by November, 1860,
despite construction stoppages
this summer.
Jury Probe Asked
The Springfield Franconia
Chamber of Commerce asked
for a grand jury investigation
yesterday, charging that the
evidence produced at the board
Of inquiry's hearings demanded
it. The supervisors made clear
they had received no evidence
of any criminal act or wrong
doing requiring a grand jury
investigation.
Mr.. Wilkins issued the fol-
lowing statement yesterday be-
fore the supervisors met:
IF the board of supervisors
believe that there has been any
illegal actions or any viola
tons Of criminal statutes or
ordinances of the Common
wealth of Virginia or the County
of Fairfax since the inception
of the Fairfax Hospital pro-
ject September 81, 1855, the
proper method of determining
criminal responsibility is
through the normal legal pro-
cedures of empaneling a grand
jury"
