can result In the issuance OF
public complaints which could
stop some of the wilder claims
now going over the airwaves.
The occupational hazards OF
this unusual civil service are,
of course, eyestrain and head
ache. Watching daytime tele-
vision moreover, is a trial you
might not wish on your worst
enemy. Logging the CONNER
cials, writing reports on the du-
bious ones, interspersed with
reading Of scripts sent by COM
mission request from television
stations all over the country is
a form of torture even the flenc
in the late late show might
blanch at using.
They Bear It Well
The three watchers are bear
ing up very well. One Of them
Mrs. Olive B. Vierbuchen oi
Vienna, Va, is a television buff
who often goes home at night
to see her favorite programs
She not only watches CONNER
cials. She records them on a
tape-recorder so that her su-
periors can play back any
sounds that have been unfavor-
ably reported.
Mrs. Vierbuchen, the cheer
full gray-haired mother of five
told US, while Jackie Cooper
worked his way out of an in
tricate situation on "The Peo-
Piles Choice" that she uses
her woman's intuition to spot
phony claims. II especially no
tice when they say a soap will
make a woman beautiful" she
said.
Sometimes she is persuaded
by what she hears. Having
heard the virtues of a cough
syrup extolled, she went out
and bought it.
1T wasn't a bit better than
the one I've been using" she
reported.
Keen as she is, Mrs. Vier-
buchen falters during the late
afternoon. Some of the misery
of the daytime dramas she isn't
really watching rubs off on her,
Also she gets bored when she
sees that the sterling bachelor
hero of one soap-opera is the
same actor who two soap
operas before was a philander-
ing husband.
Not on His Own Time
Less enthusiastic is another
veteran, Robert K. Peterson
who went to work for the FTC
in 1929. He has watched tele-
vision from its inception. Ir
his off-duty hours, he never
touches the stuff-doeSn't ever

spoken man, his avocations are

President Eisenhower said
emphatically today that birth

Fairfax Gusts
WiIkiinsFrom
Hospital Post
His Wife Abstuins
From 60 Vote
By Supervisors
By JACK KELSO
star star Writer

The Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors today dismissed
Donald L. wilkins as chairman
Of the County Hospital COM
mission.
The vote was 60. Mr..
wilkins wife. Supervisor Anne
Wilkins, did not vote.
The supervisors then formally
concluded their investigation of
the hospital project by a 1 to
8 vote. Those who opposed it
were Mrs. wilkins and Super
visors Stuart DeBell, and
Thomas S. Gray.
Commonwealth's Attorney
Robert Fitzgerald said that, in
effect, this also ended the con-
flict Of interest inquiry.
Caps Long Dispute
The action followed five
months Of dispute which started
with allegations of construc-
tion delays and extra costs on
the $6 million, 300-bed county
hospital being built on Gallows
road.
Last week the six supervisors
made an informal request to
Mr.. wilkins to resign. They
said at that time that allega-
tions of conflict of interest
against Mr.. wilkins had not
been sustained and commended
him for his public service in the
unpaid post.
But the informal request
added that full confidence in
the project could not be re-
stored unless he resigned as
chairman.
Refuses to Quit
Mr.. Wilkins responded to this
by saying he would mot vol
unfairly resign"
Supervisor James Keith
moved for the removal of Mr..
wilkins today with the stipula-
ton that the post be declared
vacant. Supervisor A. Claiborne
Leigh seconded the motion.
Before the supervisors took
their action. Mrs. wilkins read
q four-page statement into the
record urging them mot to
take hasty, irrevocable action"
Mrs. wilkins said: THE only
thing you have against Mr..
Wilkins is that he has come
under attack from political
enemies of mine.
Cites Adverse Effect
Because this has become an
annoyance to you, you ask him
TO resign without regard either
TO his personal position or the
adverse effect this might have
upon the hospital project it
self"
She said the whole trouble
was caused by "the concerted
effort Of a small group of
people who care nothing for
the Fairfax Hospital or the
welfare Of Fairfax County"
These people do not fright
en- me any more today" Mrs.
wilkins said, than they did in
1855 when they formed the nu-
cleus Of the near-mob which
appeared before the board and
forced them to reverse the mild
resolution on preservation of
public schools"
Mrs. wilkins said she was
frightened that the board could
be "preSsured into ill-advised
action by -. a group of hate
mongers.

ference. the Government can
not sit idly on its hands. He
did not spell out what action
might be taken.
The President spoke as arms
length mediation Of the strike
resumed in an atmosphere Of
stalemate. The union and the
companies apparently are watt
ing to see what he can do to
break the deadlock.
Declaring that a settlement
is vital to America, Mr.. Eisen-
hover said he has tried to use
every bit Of his influence to
bring the antagonists to-
gether. He said he again will
insist publicly that the union
and the companies reach an
agreement without q new
strike.
Expected to Scold Both
The President will make his
new call for q settlement in a
radio-television speech tomor-
row night. He is expected to
scold both sides severely in an
effort to intensity pressure for
concessions.
If voluntary methods fail,
the President said reluctantly,
the Government will have to
do something. The day. free
collective bargaining is aban-
doned, he continued, will be a
sad day for the country.
He frequently has appealed
for a settlement in the public
interest, without making much
noticeable impact on negoti-
ations. If, however, he intensi-
f1es the pressure, the union and
the companies may become
more flexible.
Terms May Be Needed
Even this may not work.
Some union and industry
sources suspect that the Presi-
dent ultimately will have to
propose the terms of q settle
ment-perhaps with alterna-
tives-and use his prestige to
force acceptance.
Until now, Mr.. Eisenhower
has avoided such intervention
as contrary to the principles of
free collective bargaining. But
unless the dispute is settled be-
fore he returns from abroad on
December %, he may decide to
move in with all his powers.
