Sales Tax
Opposed by

Unanimous opposition to a

last night by the Fairfax
County Taxpayers Alliance.
The alliance said it was "op-
posed to and stands in total
opposition to the enactment of
State sales tax in any shape
or form or in any amount"
Gov. Almond has proposed a
3 per cent sales tax but has
not yet put the proposal before
the Virginia General Assembly
The alliance also decided to
ask the General Assembly to
include in legislation for new
forms of local government a
provision requiring a two
thirds vote of the local govern
ing body to raise taxes or levy
new taxes.
Mentioning the urban county
plan and the city charter pro-
posed for Fairfax, the alliance
said it would like a provision
calling for a referendum on any
tax increase or new tax.
The alliance brought UP
again its complaint that county
employees are used to promote
approval of bond issues. The
county park authority and the
school board were singled out
as offenders by the alliance,
which suggested legislation to
prohibit this.
Alliance members agreed to
become a party to the suit by

Discrimination
In Arlington
Council Brands
RuciuI Barriers
Blight on County


The Arlington Council on HUI
man Relations said yesterday
it has found six examples Of
discrimination against the
county's Negroes.
There are areas of his life
where being a Negro makes
a difference" a discrimination
survey report said. The sur
vey was conducted by the
councils Steering Committee
headed by the Rev. Sidney
Lovett of the Rock Spring
Congregational Church.
The report said "these Ger
tain limitations and uncertain
opportunities which daily con-
front Negro citizens in Arling-
ton are felt by those who
participated in the survey-to
be a blight upon the county
and a burden upon all of it's
residents"
The committee said it be-
lieves Virginia's public as
sembly law, which requires
separation of the races, at
meetings and public places, is
the most formidable obstacle
to ending discrimination.
Under Court Test
The law presently is being
tested in several courts in the
State.
Negroes would be turned
away from all the better eat
ing places in Arlington" the
report said. They may buy food
to carry home at an Arlington
drive-in restaurant, but they
cannot expect the kind of
curb service which many white
families enjoy"
The survey committee found
that all movie houses. drive-in
theaters, bowling alleys. skat-
ing rinks and pony ride lots
bar Negroes.
Only two small Fairgrounds
are available for Negroes, the
report stated. Both were con-
sidered inadequate and in the
southern tip of the county
which is inaccessible to Negro
children living in the northern
end.
At Arlington Hospital, the
survey group found that Negro
woman cannot be admitted to
the maternity ward. The hos
pitfalls emergency treatment IA
cilities are available to Negroes
at all times. the committee said,
and the pediatrics ward is nom
segregated. There also is a
Negro general ward.
Transfer to Ward
A Negro mother expecting a
baby may be admitted to the
hospital as an emergency case
but then must be transferred
to the general ward for Negroes.
the committee said.
John j. Anderson. admins
traitor Of the hospital, said yes
terday there is no discrimina-
ton Of any patient as far as
care is concerned.
He said the hospital trustees
intend to include a maternity
ward for Negroes in future
building plans. He said the 30
bed white maternity ward is
always crowded and that white
maternity cases are referred
to hospitals in the District or
Alexandria every day.
The survey committee also
found that adequate rental
properties and land for building
homes for Negroes is lacking in
the county, forcing many of
them TO live in the District.
Although Negro students have
been admitted by court order
to Arlington white schools, the
committee found that Negroes
still wonder how long it will
be before they are accepted in
integrated schools without court
action.

Ground Broken
For 81 Million
Building Project
By ALFRED ALIBRANDO
Star Stan Writer


District redevelopment off,
cials and the builders of the
Town Center in Southwest
Washington yesterday broke
ground for the "a million slum
clearance project.
Although the rain turned the
elaborately-planned ceremony
into q small, quiet-almost be-
misunderstanding in a mud
dy field of M street, the spirits
of the public officials respon-
sible for the project scared.
And with good reason.
Nearly six years ago, william
Zeckendorf, president Of the
Webb & Knapp development
Arm first presented his plans
for the Town Center, an apart
ment-shopping center project.
Unexpected problems and con-
troversy delayed leasing of the
slum- cleared land to Webb &
Knapp until last December /.
The delays brought strong crit
icisms of the District Eedevel-
opment Land Agency.
Prophets of Doom Refuted
Yesterday, George I. Garrett.
chairman of the Federal City
Council, told the 200 or so per-
sons huddled under umbrellas
at the groundbreaking that
construction of the Town Gen.
ter is an impressive refutation
to those prophets of doom who,
all of those years have tcld
us that Southwest redevelop-
ment will never become a
realty"
Mr.. Garrett, former Am
baSsador to Ireland. is one of
the Washington civic leaders
largely responsible. ror the
birth Of the city's slum clear
ance program.
He called the urban rede-
velopment program here a
pioneering effort" Mr.. Gar
rett said it was the most COM
plicated rebuilding operation
ever undertaken in the United
States, IAN effort which cc,Sd
not be speeded by government
decree - and for which no
guidelines existed"
More Buildings To Go Up
John Remon, chairman of the
Redevelopment Land Agency,
said the groundbreakfng marked
a breakthrough for slum clear
ance in the Southwest-a $40
acre project-and that many
more buildings would be
started in 1860.
Among the messages of con-
gratulationS, was one from
President Eisenhower. The
President said the start of the
Town Center symbolizes the
progress made in Washington
urban renewal.
Although Mr.. Zeckendorf,
who was held up in his flight
from New York by the weather,
did not arrive in time for the
ceremony he said at a recep-
ton later in the National Hous-
ing Center that start of con-
struction of the Town Center
is "the end of the beginning"
Of the Southwest project and
that it would proceed swiftly
from now on.
The 20-acre site on which the
Town Center will be built lies
between I and M, Third and
Sixth stretS. The eastern half
Of the Town Center, with two
flanking apartment buildings
will be built in the first stage.
The center will have a grocery,
dry cleaning establishment,
