The S68-acre farm operated
by Washington area Mormons
near the Dulles International
Airport has been sold to q
syndicate which repeatedly
plans industrial development.
Ofiicials OF the Church Of
Jesus Christ Of Latter Day
Saints today confirmed the
sale. but declined to name the
purchaser or price. Other
sources said the price was APP
proximately 100000.
Third Sale I'm Area
It is the third major sale
for industrial development to
be reported in the Chantilly
area in the past few weeks
It was reported that the
buyers Of the Mormon property
did not want to be named be-
cause they are still trying to
acquire additional acreage in
the same area.
The church property, called
Bountiful Farm. lies along the
Washington g. Old Dominion
Railroad tracks at Ashburn in
Loudoun County about a mile
from the airport property.
Near Another Tract
It is just west Of another
large tract acquired recently
by the Northern Virginia De-
velopment Co. backed by Leh-
man Bros. New York financial
house. This company made an
offer for the Mormon farm, but
an official said today it had not
bought 1t.
Another syndicate, headed
by Arlington Realtor, Andrew
M. Barr. has announced OPP
tons on a 713-acre tract along
the W&OD east Of Sterling
This also is near the airport
property and a short distance
east Of the Mormon tract and

ment Co. holdings.

Prosecutions
Witness an
Ex-Convict

CAMBRIDGE. Md. Sept. "a
(AP).-A prosecution witness
in the $4,000 burglary trial
Of Stephano Glaros admitted
yesterday he had been i'm
prisoned for robbery.
Defense lawyers drew the ad-
mission from Joseph w. Klopp,
chief deputy sheriff for Dor
chester County at the time Of
burglary last November Z at
Wingate, Md.
Klopp said he was sentenced
to prison in 1914 after being
convicted of 6 counts of robbery
in Lebanon, Pa, where he had
served on the police depart
ment. He said he became
Dorchester County officer in
1854 and was pardoned Of the
robbery record in 1858. Klopp
said he is now a special inves.
tigator for the Library of Con-
gress in Washington.
Klopp testified he was the
first investigator to arrive at
the scene of the burglary at a
general store about 80 miles
south Of Cambridge last Mo-
vember.
He said he tried to take
fingerprints from the bur-
glarized safe Of George o.
Powley but was unable to
Gift any"
State Trooper George Heck
ner told the two judges and
jury hearing the case in Dor
chester County Circuit Court
a search Of Glaros' home near
Glen Burnie failed to produce
any trace of the $4,000 in
cash and $4,000 in Government
savings bonds taken from Mr..
Powley's safe.
1t had been testified earlier
that charred remnants of
sales slips had been found in a
trash can at the Glaros home
and paint scrapings from the
safe door were discovered in
his automobile trunk.

the schools and provide no ade-
quate play area for children.
Additional Opposition
Opposition also was voiced by
Darrell Court, Temple View
Oak Drive and the Bucknell
Heights, White Oaks and
Groyeton Citizens Associations
Mr.. Stern said that while
many of the petitioners live in
semidetached homes, it doesn't
change the picture"
Mr.. Alexander, toward the
close Of the hour-long session,
suggested the board defer ac-
ton. He said he did not want
a decision to be based on a
numbers game" of how many
favored and how many opposed
the application.
Supervisor Anne wilkins,
noting that she would have OPP
posed the application if Negroes
were not involved, moved for
deferral. She said there was a
great need for Negro housing
in the county"
The motion to defer was de-
'feated and the application then
was rejected by the supervisors
without opposition.

members that Fairfax Hospital
authorities have ''gone through
the Booth Memorial Hospital
from top to bottom. :"
Mr.. Schorn further attacked
a list Of hospital projects the
Board of Inquiry had reported
he worked on. He said the list
was incomplete and inaccu-
rate. AS an example, he said
the Board Of Inquiry statement
contained no information on
the Elizabeth A. Horton Me-
mortal Hospital in Middle
town, N. Y. 9
/ Personally Checked
He said the late Joseph A.
Freehill, who was chairman Of
the Board Of Supervisors when
he was hired as architect was
a native of Middletown and
personally checked out the
project.
I He used the words, "drivel"
and nonsense" In attacking
Inquiry Board statements
about the high cost of remov-
ing one tree from the hospital
grounds and about "5-foot-6-
inch-high ceilings"

by the Board of Inquiry on in

Schorn said it should be

the hospital was going to get
high quality equipment at a

stellatinn. Mr.. Schorn esti-
matsd 1t at about two and g
half months. But he added
that the overall work schedule
had "a lot of fat" in it anC
that completion dates on prof.
ects were only rough estimates
anyway.
At one point Supervisor A
Claiborne Leigh told Mr.. Schorr
that If the county turns out
to be liable for extra cost
caused by problems with thu
plumbing delay, "I'll be looking
TO you for the money"
