The county board proposal
would only permit construction

Planning Commission Chair
man B. Alden Lillywhite said
he believes the County Board
asked for the rezoning in the
hope that it would contribute
to eventual fulfillment of the
courthouse development plan
which calls for creation of a
plaza and parking space.
He stressed that planning
commission members unani-
mously share the county
boards wish for fulfillment of
the plan, but said they differed
as to whether rezonins would
be of use.
The county board has au-
thority to make final coming
decisions and can effect the

the proposal made recently by

The commission, appointed
by Gov. Tawes to study COR
rection of inequitable represen-

has recommended a plan which
would increase membership IN
the House of Delegates from
1913 to l4l. Montgomery and
Prince Georges counties would
be eligible for eight House
members instead Of six. Anne
Arundel County also would get
two more and Baltimore County
three more. These four counties
and some others eventually

A bill aimed at reducing ap-
Iplications for enrolment in
Virginia State colleges was in
troduced yesterday in the
House by Delegate Harrison
Mann of Arlington.
His bill would require every
applicant for admission to a
Virginia college to send in 10
per cent of a years tuition
along with the application.
A bill Of this kind was recon-
mended recently by a legisla-
tive study commission.
Mr.. Mann said Virginia COL

thousands of applications from
students who submit applica-

Of enrolling.
Processing the applications is
a matter of tremendous ex-

Under his bill, il the student
enrolled after applying, his 10
per cent fee would be applied
toward his tuition. If his appli-
cation was rejected by the
college, the fee would be re-

Mann Bill
Would Limit
Road Gangs
BY q Star stan Writer

RICHMOND, Jan. 20.-The
kidnapping last year of Peter NJ.
Nelson, 70, from his Mclean
(Va) home led today to the
introduction of a bill banning
prisoners convicted Of violent
crimes from serving on road
gangs.
State Senator John A. K.
Donovan of Fairfax Falls
Church offered the measure.
II have received a number of
telephone calls and letters
since the Nelson kidnapping. "
Senator Donovan said. 1T
seemed to me something ought
to be done about it."
Mr.. Nelson, a retired Wash
ington tailor, was forced at
gunpoint to flee in his own car
with two convicts who had
escaped from a road gang near
Fairfax two days earlier. The
convicts released him un-
harmed two days later in
Washington, Pa.
One Of the abductors was
James E. Hall, serving an IL
year sentence for the murder
of his father. The second was
Connie E. Platt, serving two
years for forgery.
Senator Donovan said he had
not yet conferred with Col.
Richard w. Copeland. director
of the Department Of Correc-
tions, or with the State High
way Department about his bill.
The lawmaker also intro
duced a resolution directing a
commission to study the eco

Mrs. Wilkins Assumes
Foirfox Planning Post

Fairfax County Board Chair
man Anne wilkins today ruled
that she, not Supervisor George
Landrith, is the official board
delegate to the planning COM
mission.
Both had claimed the post.
Mrs. Wilkins was selected by
the board for reappointment
earlier this month, and Mr.
Landrith was seeking to hold
on to the commission member
ship he held as a public repre-
sentative before his election to
the board.
After Mrs. wilkins ruling
today, the board elected A,
Slater Lamond as a public
representative on the commits
sion replacing Mr.. Landrith.
Both Mrs. Wilkins and Mr..
Landrith are Democrats. Join
ing with Mrs. wilkins in the
vote for Mr.. Lamond were
Democrat James Keith and the
boards three Republican mem
oers. Democrat Stuart DeBell
opposed it and Mr.. Landrith
abstained from voting.
Mr.. Keith noted, however,
that his vote was dependent on
whether Mrs. wilkins ruling
was legal.
Allied With Republicans
Mr.. Landrith had contended
that he was still a member of
the Planning Commission, to
which he was appointed in
1858, the year before his elec-
ton. Mrs. Wilkins was re-
elected as board delegate to
the commission in a political
alliance with the Republicans.

for 8 pm. Monday. The School
Board expects to submit its
proposed budget to the Board
of County Supervisors March 9.
Enrolment this year is 54.-
600. The new budget is based
on a figure of $4,000.
Comparisons set forth in the
budget showed Fairfax had the
lowest per pupil cost for school
operations of any suburb in
the Metropolitan Area. Fair
fax had cost of $317 90, Alex
andria had S321.85 and Arling-
ton topped the list with $449.05,
The budget explains that
most of the SIS million increase
will pay for raises for school
employees and what is regarded
as a highly significant change
to the intermediate school sys-
TEN.
$50 New Jobs
Eight intermediate schools
for grades seven and eight are
to begin operation in the next
school year,
The budget lists $50 new jobs,
S36 of them for classroom
teachers, and replacement of
$50 persons.
The pay schedule calls for
$4,000 a year for beginning
teachers, a $500 boost. Top
minimum after IL years on the
scale is S6.660. At present, a
maximum of $4,000 is reached
In Is years.
Teachers with masters de-
grees would get an extra $500
a year. Those with doctorates
would get $500 year more.
The starting salary proposal
was the same as that suggested
by the Fairfax Education Assoc
citation.
All employees classified as sta
tus personnel-principals, su-
pervisors. helping teachers,
visiting teachers and physical
education teachers-also would
receive raises in varying
amounts.
Maintenance Costs Up
Maintenance costs have in
creased in the budget, it was
noted, because budget cuts in
past years have left the schools
without a preventative main

Mrs. Wilkins had allied her
self with the Republicans after
Mr.. DeBell tried to stop her re-
appointment to the commission.
The quick political move
today opened with the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Lamond by Super
wiser A. Claiborne Lee, a Re-
publican.
Mr.. Landrith Immediately as
serted that such a move was
premature" and that he would
like to talk things over with
board members later today"
1t was at this point that Mrs.
wilkins said: The chair rules
there is a vacancy"
An attempt to defer action

Wilkins opposing.

Mr.. Keith, an attorney, said
he did not think Mrs. wilkins
could rule on whether there
was a vacancy. He said he
thought it was a legal matter.
Mr.. Landrith broke in: "I
haven't resigned and until I'm
satisfied on certain matters 1
don't intend to resign"
Supervisor Robert c. Gotten,
jr., a Republican, asked Mrs
wilkins about the State law
on the matter and she handed
him a large law book open to
the correct page.
Mr.. Gotten, citing the Vir-

he was elected to the Board of

Considering the problems in
volved in surprising a guest
and doing the "upbeat" life
story ("we're not an expose
show"). Edwards has to be eau
tious.
In the shows long course on
TV, only three people ever
found out in advance that they
were to be the subjects-Rob-
ert. Young Gather Knows
BesD, Ann Sheridan and
Gloria Swanson.
He did Gloria's life anyhow,
after first informing the audi
ence of the fact. ''I thought
viewers would be so interested
in her story we ought to do it,"
He may still get around to Bob
Young. lone Of my close
friends" and Annie, when the
circumstances are right.
No one has ever walked out
on EdwardS-on the air, that
is-although Lowell Thomas
came pretty close to it on the
first program last season.
How come? Caution. "The
first question we ask Of the wife,
or close relative, or friend, is
how will he take it?' If there's
any doubt, we 60 on to someone
else. After all, there are thous-
ands Of people we can do"
Mote: Doubt" apparently,
has been expressed, although
Edwards volunteered no list of
those who turned him down.
Several subjects have been
told in advance, among them
Eddie Cantor (because of his
heart condition., and Lillian
Roth. because "the question of
alcoholism in her life would
have constituted too much of
invasion of privacy"
Edwards, whose show begins

the new time slot. Whats NY
Line? hasn't had any real op-
position" he feels, land the
thinking is that viewers will
tune us in to see who we have
on. It's up to us to keep them
hooked"
The word "believability"
comes up a good deal when
Edwards discusses his show.
He doesn't mind parodies or
lampoons of his program
so long as I'm not connected
with them" (He broke the
rule only once. for old friend
Bob Hope). He explains: "I
can't ask the viewers to believe
in our show and then turn
around myself and kid it,"
Edwards promises a gasser
next Sunday; also, that it will
be live" He tapes only one
show out of every l3 for pro
tection;" points out that the
top-rated shows in the pro-
grams history were Give"
I'm still convinced-Lowell
wasn't mad. He was, well, him

He'd settle for a show like
