Board Backs
Park Deal

The Fairfax County Planning
Commission last night recon-
purchase Of a 1872
acre site for a park near Bull
Run.
The action represents an
other step toward establish
ment Of a 10.000-acre regional
park along Accoquan Greek

The area consists of meadow
and woodland. 1t runs along

mentS and ONCE buildings in
the county.
The four candidates for the
two Fairfax County-Fa
Church district seats in the
House of Delegates appeared
agreed on most of the issues.
Delegate John c. Webb of
Fairfax, a Democrat running
for reelection, spelled out what
he said were -four legislative
needs" He described these as
a better road system, better
school system, a better system
for collecting and distributing
tax money and the need to
make. government truly
responsive to the needs Of our
people"
Charging that local govern
ments were ION a sharecropper
status" he said counties and
cities should be permitted to
retain a greater share of the
tax money. Mr.. Webb said fur
ther that the State should re-
peal the blank voter registra-
ton law and the poll tax.
Higher Taxes Feared
His Democratic unning
mate, Mrs. Dorothy S. Nc
Diarmid Of Mclean, said that
unless the State changes its
tax base the taxes are going to
rise sharply"
She said the State must
make a choice between planned
industrial growth and economic
stagnation."
William j. Mileham of
Dranesville, a sales director
for an insurance company and
Republican candidate for the
House Of Delegates, said he
was "incensed" at the use of
convict labor on State roads.
| He asserted that it should
be eliminated before we have
consequences we don't even like
to anticipate"
John M. Ritchey of Mount
Vernon district, his Republican
running mate for delegate,
said he agreed with all the
points made by the Democratic
candidates but said it was
more important to have true
two-party system in the State. -
Mr.. Richie, a telephone
company employee, said: Until
we do, we can do nothing
about this system of taxation. "

George H. Robinson. county
assistant superintendent in
charge of secondary schools.
said it is a known fact that
artificial light can be controlled
much better than natural light.
He pointed out that many
classrooms have Venetia n
blinds drawn over windows
most Of the time, anyway.
And Mr.. SenSeman said that
proper color schemes for the
classrooms can overcome any
psychological "closed-in feel
ing"
For a change of scene. how
ever, all administrative offices
of the school, plus one wall Of
the cafeteria, would have win
dow walls.
And, just to be on the safe
side, Mr.. Senseman can put in
windows, if public reaction goes

Judge Voids
Montgomery
zoniing Action

A Montgomery County Cir
cult Court judge has directed
the County Council to recon-
slider a coming decision in which
a lame-duck council rezoned
80 acres of up-county land for
more intensive use nearly q
year ago.
In an opinion handed down
by Judge James H. Pugh last
week, a council action Of No.
vember 10, 1858. is to be re-
viewed solely on the question
of a possible mistake in the
original coming.
The judges ruling, which has
the effect of temporarily void
ing the 1858 council action. in
volyed property north of the
observation-disclosures road Route
28) owned by Earl M. Mackin-
tosh, jr. The councils 1858
action granting R-90 residential
coming for land previously
zoned R-R had been appealed
by Manor Club residents.
The appeal action was
brought by the Manor Country
Club, Inc, represented by At
torney David Macdonald. The
suit protested Redistribution
of the land from half-acre
minimum lot sizes to $1,000
squart-foot minimum lot sizes.
The rezoning was approved
in a 4-3 vote. Voting in favor
of it were Council Members
Charles H. Jamison, Wilbur N.
Baugham, Jerry T. Williams
and Grover K. Walker. Against
the rezoning were Robert T.
Shure, Mrs. Stella B. Werner
and j. Grahame Walker. Coun-
cilmen Jamison, Baughman.
Snure and ]. Grahame Walker
were serving out their terms
until their successors, elected
earlier in November, could be
sworn in.
Judge Pugh ruled that the
rezoning action, to be con-
sidered legal, should have been
based on either a change in
the character of the neighbour
hood or a mistake in the origi-
nal coming. The property had
been placed in the R-R cate
CORY on June /. 1858. when the
council placed the entire upper
county under a new coming
ordinance.
Mr.. Macintosh, the tract
owner. contended that the
status of the land had been
determined by the upper Mon
togomery County Planning
Commission approval IN 1886
Of a preliminary subdivision
plan which showed building
lots of 10000 square feet.
Whether approval of the sub
division plan constitutes the
basis for a claim that the June,
1858, coming was a mistake is
the sole question to be deter
mined in further hearings by
the council.

It was a good-natured gath
ering, marked by few political
jibes. The meeting, held at the
ForestvilIe Elementary School,
was sponsored by the Great
Falls Lions Club.
The local race for the Board
of Supervisors seat from
Dranesville stirred the most
interest at the meeting.
Republican incumbent A..
Claiborne Leigh pointed to his
work for a master plan, a new
coming ordinance and new sub
division control.
He said he has favored
bringing industry into the
county along the Shirley high
way and has opposed apart.
ment development in Dranes-
vile.
Bright M. Carper, his Demo-
cratic opponent, said he did not
favor long-range planning but
was in favor Of what he called
a realistic master plan"
Some Agreement
Mr.. Carper said the county
should broaden its tax base by
attracting light industry and by
allowing apartment develop
