Alexandra
Population
Shows Jump

Alexandria has grown about
a third larger in population in
the past 10 years, according to
census figures announced to-
day. The new preliminary to-
tai for the nearby Virginia city
is 9O,332.
In 1850 census takers count
ed 61,787. The new figure, how
ever, is a few thousand short
of what planners had expected,
said Mayor Leroy S. Bendheim
He pointed out that the in
creased population will bring
the city a proportionate in
crease in its share of State
funds which are appropriated
on the basis of the number of
people living in each area.
The Mayor said he believes
the final total which will be
announced by the Census Bu-
reau in few months will
bring the figure closer to what
planners had originally esti-
mated.

defense drill. Purpose of the
drill was to determine if the
children could disperse to their
homes on foot within 20 min

a half dozen parents, county
police and a half dozen cross

school supervise the dispersal
exercise. He said the test has
been planned since last jan

With the exception of a few

Adoption of the Warfield
Commission proposals. which
have been Endorsed by the Uni
verSity's Board of Regents,
might easily cause the junior
colleges to die on the vine"
the Board of Education said.
"A most important objection
is the curse of bigness' that
would result from turning over
the entire responsibility for
public higher education in the
State to one institution" Mr..
Frampton said.
Among other objections listed
we're: Teacher education has
never received major emphasis
by the University of Maryland;
the Warfeld plan would not
take care of an appreciable
number of additional students
in higher education; the War
field plan ignores almost en-
tirely consideration of the
much-needed expansion of the
University in the graduate, pro-
feSSional and research fields; it
is far-fetched to think that the
three completely new branches
would ever be built; the War
field Commissions estimates as
to the capital outlay cost of the
branches are misleading.

C. Massey and Commemorative
Attorney Robert C. Fitzgerald
to work up a short brochure
on sanitary districts.
Copies of the Guide to
Special Districts" were made
available yesterday. The bro
chure explains the law under
which sanitary districts are
formed.
Mr.. Moss claimed his plan
would tend to discourage an
nexation by Falls Church and
Alexandria as much as the
urban county plan would.
His plan would make it easy
for areas around those cities
! to get urban services. Mr.. Moss
said.
I Referendum Considered
The study of sanitary dis
trictS should include commun-
ity of interests, homogeneous
areas, the need for services and
the availability of water and
sewer lines, Mr.. Moss said.
The Fairfax County Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations,
which meets at $3.50 o'clock to-
night at Annandale Elementary
School, has been considering
a proposal to push for a ref
erendum this November on the
urban county plan.
During discussions of the ur-
ban plan, majority of the
supervisors have expressed
qualms about rushing into
adoption of it.
They have suggested various
alternatives, including the Ar
llngton County Plan which
carries a built-in prohibition
against annexation.
The urban plan, the Airing
ton County Plan, possible city
status and Mr.. Moss proposal
are to be discussed at a public
hearing June 29 at the court

sanitary district law used pres
emily in the county.
Mr.. Moss, who has called
the urban county plan a "glor-
flied sanitary district plan"
asked for study showing rec
commended lines for sanitary
districts for the entire county.
Under the sanitary district
law, residents of an area petit
ton the circuit court for such
services as street lights, sewers
or recreation facilities.
If the court grants the petit
ton the residents of the area
then pay for the services them
selves on special tax assess
mentS.
Requires New Districts
The law allows residents OF
an area to pay for the services
they want without spreading
the cost over the entire county
The urban county plan n
aimed at letting each area
develop at its own rate Of
speed, would require new mag.
isterial districts. The county
now has seven magiSterial dis
tricts.

he hopes will be ready withir

ties Tor nlgnef eQucaJlOn is not
in branches of the university
but in extensive development of
community junior colleges.
The Warfleld Commission.
appointed by the Governor.
recommended in February that
six University of Maryland
branches be established. Three
of them would be new institu-
tions and three would be es-
tablished by converting tea
chers colleges at Towson, Frost
burg and Salisbury in liberal
arts centers.
Fears Damaging Blow
Mr.. Frampton said the adop-
ton of the Warf1eld Commits
sion proposals would consti-
tute one of the greatest blows
in the history of Maryland
against the proper education
of teachers for the public
schools of the State. The tea
chers colleges are now operated
by the Board of Education.
Giving the boards official
position. Mr.. Frampton said,
in effect, that the university
should stick to its own knitting
and let the Board of Education
continue to have the primary
responsibility for public school
teacher training.
FavOrs Expanded Courses
He agreed that the teachers
colleges should be converted
into general State colleges with
expanded course offerings but
said they should remain under
the Board of Education.
"A sudden shift of these in
stitutions under the manage
ment of an institution con-
cerned with multiple purpose
and wholly different problems
in the field of higher education
and agriculture could easily re-
suit in teacher training not
receiving the attention it must
have" Mr., Frampton said.
WarfieId Defends Plan
Edwin Warfeld III, chairman
of the War1eld commission
defended his groups recon-
mendationS today.
The commission feels that
its program offers the most
realistic and practical method
of expanding higher education
in Maryland at this time" he
said.
Mr.. Warfield said the COM
mission realizes that junior
colleges and other privately and
publicly owned institutions of
higher education may and
probably will require expansion
in the years ahead"
The commission chairman
said the three teachers col
leges were selected Tor univer-
sity centers because of their
ideak location, excellent facul-
ties and existing physical
plants
The key to the Board OF
Education substitute propos-
ais is the development of two
year junior colleges. This also

What ever happened to the facts" about
the Naval Weapons Plant and our Defense Pro-
curement policies? They seem to have gotten
lost in the shuttle under maze of soft-soap
double-talk and Madison Avenue slickism.
We've looked for the true story behind the
Administrations decision to close the Naval
Weapons Plant. We haven't found it yet ;.
and we're still looking.
The more than 5000 men and women who
work at the Naval Weapons Plant, representing
an aggregate of skis so essential to our de-
fense effort, have asked for these facts. In
stead they've been given warmed = over
platitudes, apologies, and just plain nonsense.
On the one hand they've been told that the
Plant is obsolete. And yet, at this very moment,
it is assisting in the production Of component
parts for the POlaris, the Sidewinder, Tiros and
the very latest in rOcketry. Workers at the
Plant have even gone into overtime to meet
heavy production schedules
The cord obsolete apparently must mean
something quite different to Administration Of
fciaLs than it does for the rest of America.
On the other hand, we've been told that
the closing of the Naval Weapons Plant was
dictated by the necessity of "economizing." And
yet, the Administration in 1859, issued an order
requiring all Government establishments to con-
tract out everything possible to private indus
try, with little thought to the cost involved.
This has resulted in such bargain buys as
purchase by the Navy of lamp sockets for
SILL each, an item which could have been pur-
chased at your local retail store for Is cents
apiece.
Still more outrageous to taxpayers is the
fact that the Hughes Acknowledgment infra-
red missile, Falcon, cost ten times as much in
mass production as a Navy-developed missile,
engineered to meet the same requirements
In the past ten years the Renegotiation
Board (for Defense Contracts) has recovered
more than billiOn-and-a-half taxpayers
dollars in discovered and proved excess profits
from defense contracts.
Evening star., 1960-08-16

Indeed, the startling fact is. that ninety
five percent of defense contracts, representing
Sc per cent of the dollar amount of defense
contracts, are not competitively bid for.
Evening star., 1960-08-16

At time when America needs every
skilled man and defense facility it can muster,
some of our bureaucrats have embarked on a
course of action, which, if unchecked, can result
in disaster.
Evening star., 1960-08-16

course of action, which, if unchecked, can result
in disaster.
1t is for this reason that our Union, which
represents more than 800 skilled machinists at
the Naval Weapons Plant in addition to work.
ers at other aforementioned facilities in the
Washington area, has embarked on an emer-
gency campaign to urge the American people
to seek the facts in this unfortunate situation
We are doing this as patriotic Americans
to whom love of country and freedom come
first. Certainly, we admit a degree of self-in-
terest, since the men we represent will have the
toughest chore of all in finding jobs in this
area, where they have made their homes. In
deed, most of them, because this is not heavy
industry town will have to uprOOt themselves
and their families in order to find work.
But our cause goes beyond, far beyond the
personal tragedy of the skilled craftsmen we
represent 1t strikes deep into the heart of
America, affecting all of us and our families
We urge that in the interest of national
defense, the Naval Weapons Plant must be
kept open to help produce the weapons to defend
America.
We ask that the facts behind this decision
by the Navy be submitted Immediately to Con-
gress and the American People.
We ask an immediate reversal of our pres
ent defense procurement policy.
We ask your help as Americans truly in
terested in the future of our country and our
children.
You can help by registering your protest
today with: Hon. Carl Vinson, Armed Services
Committee, House Office Building, Washington

ices Committee, Senate Office Building, Wash

Still more disheartening was the fact that
workers at the Plant, their families members
of Congress and the general public were being
blandly told that the plant was not in jeopardy.
A second-class citizen might expect such treat
ment but certainly not an American, especially
an American who serves his country in the de-
fense effort.
Evening star., 1960-08-16

In its own contrived search for reason to
close the Plant, the Navy instituted two "sur-
vey' committees, one convened in 1858 and the
other in 1859. To date, after repeated requests,
allowed to look at these so-called surveys"
Evening star., 1960-08-16

All these strange goings-on seem ludicrous
in the light of present events, when America
is engaged in the greatest struggle in its
history, when the Soviet Union is throwing
every resource into the battle to attain and hold
an arms lead over our country.
Yet, in the face of this threat, our officials
seem bent upon deliberately destroying our de-
tense facilities throwing away skilled man
power, strangling morale, dismantling Plant
which holds under one roof, an outstanding
team of men and machines which has been
proven and tested in every emergency.
As reasonable men, aOe must admit that our
confidence in the officials ,vho reach these nn.
believably absurd decisions are badly shaken.
Evening star., 1960-08-16

1t is our opinion that the American people,
whose investment in the Plant is considerable,
and the workers within the Plant whose very
futures are now at stake, deserve the right not
only to see the results of these Surveys" but to
expect wholly-unbiased viewpoint to be main
tanned.
