Realty Transfer
Tax Proposal
Hit in County

Real estate officials declared
last night that a proposed l
per cent tax on property trans
fers in Montgomery County
would drive prospective house.
holders elsewhere.
The County Council decided
to study the proposal further.
A dozen speakers, appearing
at a public hearing before the
council, protested that the tax
would be unfair to the home
buying public.
John Neumann, representing
the Suburban Maryland Build
ers Association, said the tax
would do more harm than good
and would drive many persons
away to jurisdictions where no
such levy exists.
Other speakers, including
William B. Wheeler, a spokes-
man for the County Board of
Realtors, warned that the tax
would slow down construction
at a time where more is needed.
Only one person, Charles P.
Marsden of the County Civic
Federation, appeared in favor
of the tax.

"Hitched to North"
In Tuesdays Harrison Ste
phens debate, Mr.. Harrison
said the campaign of his oppo-
nent at one time had ground
to a halt" until Mr.. Stephens
"hitched his wagon to the star
of the North" and changed
from a conservative to an ultra
liberal.
His reference to "star of the
North" was to State Senator
Armistead L. Boothe of Alexan-
dria, Mr.. Stephens running
mate for lieutenant governor.
Mr.. Harrison continued that
following the Stephens-B -Boothe
alignment, his opponent began
using phrases such as boss con-
troll, machine rule and shackled
people, words that we usually
find in the (Communist) Daily
Worker"
Said Mr.. Darden, THE ref
erence by him (Mr. Harrison)
to the Daily Worker and the
inference thereby of influence

fortunate and, of course, un-
deserved"

but that is not going to reach
the kind that are the most
promiscuous. The people who
need it most are the hardest to
reach"
DR.. Thomas said promiscuity
is by no means confined to poor
people, but that the bulk of it
is there.
"On the question of sex edu-
cation" DR.. Thomas continued,
'I say boys should understand
the psychology of reproduction.
At only one point would I bring
in morality, and that is that sex
involves responsibility. I would
tell that that for good and Suf-
ficient reasons. society does not
approve of promiscuity."
That infectious syphilis is on
the increase seems apparent
from United States Public
Health Service statistics quoted
by DR.. Thomas. In the entire
United States, 6,251 cases of in
fectious syphilis were reported
in 1857, a rate of 81 cases per
100000 of population.
In fiscal 1860, it was almost
double 1857, or 12,471 cases re-
ported, a rate of IL per 100, 900.

Court Backs
Fines for Five
AtGIen Echo

ANNAPOLIS, June 9 (AP)
-Maryland's Court of Appeals
yesterday upheld the convic-
tions of five Negroes arrested
at Glen Echo Amusement Park
in Montgomery County last
June 80 for trespassing on pri-
vate property in a protest
against segregation.
The high. court reversed a
companion case in which three
Negroes and two white persons
we're arrested for trespassing
in a restaurant in the park two
days later. 1t said the park
policeman did not have author
ity to order them from the
restaurant, which is under sep
arate ownership.
The convictions and 500
fines upheld were against Will
liam L. Griffin, Marvous Saun-
ders, Michael Proctor, Cecil T.
Washington, jr., and Gwendo-
lyn Green.
The park has desegregated
its facilities since the incidents
arose.
Although the cases were ar
gued jointly, the high court
found they involved different
sets of circumstances.
1t said Griffin and the other
Negroes arrested on a carrouSel
in the park June 80 deliberately
violated "a lawful policy of
segregation" in the privately
owned park.

of such "boondoggles" as funds

Annexation-Seven of the
candidates favored annexation

posed. Falls Church is cur
rently in court seeking to annex

Government consolidation -
The candidates were unanimous
in their opposition to merge
the Government functions of

with those of neighboring
jurisdictions. They agreed,
however. on the need for
greater cooperation on re-
gional and metropolitan prob
lens such as highways, sewers,

that eventually Falls Church
could only solve such problems
with some form of political
consolidation"

pear two referenda seeking
voter opinion on whether to
eliminate the city charter pro-
vision requiring a freeholder
majority to pass bond issues

Two S-Sfory
Buildings Win
OK in RossIyu

The Arlington County Board
last night agreed to permit
construction of two eight-story
office buildings in the Rosslyn
area Of Key Bridge.
Board Member Ernest wilt
predicted that the two ultra
modern structures will bring
the county as much as 500, 900
annually in new real estate
taxes. He and his colleagues
declared that the unanimously
approved rezonings represent a
major stride toward rehablIi-
tation of the commercial area
which frequently has been de-
Scribed as a blight upon scenery
along the Potomac.
At Mr.. Wits suggestion, the
board also consented to pre-
part for further large-scale re-
zonings in Rosslyn to allow con-
struction of high-rise apart
ments and other major office
buildings.
The members agreed the
changes should be made as
soon as possible to forestall
less desirable industrial de-
velopment in the area.
Attorney David Carpenter re-
ported that the larger of the
two new buildings will be pri-
of glass and will cost
of about $5.5 million. It is
under sponsorship of william
P. AmeS on the site of the
Murphy-Ames Lumber Co. at
Fort Myer drive and Nash
street.
The other office building,
which will cost some So mil
lion, will be located diagonally
across the street at Fort Myer
drive and Moore street.
Mr.. Carpenter said its devel-
opers will be the New York
investors who own Arlington
Towers.
Completion of both projects
is scheduled for the spring of
1868.

serted that Mr.. Harrison finally
had gotten around to conced-
ing that the State might need
additional tax revenues. His
reference was to Mr. Harrison's
comments in Arlington Wednes-
day that "I1l have the courage
to ask" the Legislature for
more taxes If efficiency, econ
omy and economic growth fail
to provide the added revenues.
Mr.. Boothe. speaking at the
opening of Richmond head
quarters of the Stephens ticket,
declared that the head of his
ticket had been facing up to
the possibility of more taxes
from the start of the campaign
and had been telling the facts
about fiscal needs.
Mr.. HarriSon's remarks in
Arlington are believed to be his
first concession that more taxes
might be sought as a last re-
sort.
Negro Alliance Charged
Mr.. Harrison told the Alex
andria Kiwanis Club yesterday
his opponents ticket has allied
itself with Negro and labor
groups in such a way that their
victory could deter new indus
try from coming to Virginia.

said. ION March 81, at a hotel
in Richmond, formed an alli-

rison said, labor and the Ma
ational Association for the
Advancement of Colored People

Mr.. Harrison said, "Immedi-
ately thereafter, Boothe made a
speech before the NAACP and
its leader went out to recruit
votes"
The decision to locate indus
try in Virginia, Mr.. Harrison
said, will be made by manage

Falls Church Compoiqn
Winds Up Before $50

The eight candidates for the
Falls Church City Council and
two for city attorney made their
last formal public appearance
before Tuesdays election last
night, speaking to nearly $50
citizens.
The 10 shared the platform
at a candidates meeting spon-
Sored by the City League of
Women Voters and moderated
by League President Mrs. WAL
ter j. Cronin.
The council candidates are
split between a four-man slate
backed by the nonpartisan
Citizens for a Better City and
four Independents. The CBC
candidates are in cu m b e n is
Mayor Charles M. HALEY,
Councilmen Harold SilverStein
and Samuel j. Dennis and

man Thomas r. Jones. Their
independent opponents are
Lewis P. Jones, E. Don Rockey,
Francis w. Trapp and Archie r.
Munson. The two candidates
for city attorney are LaRue
Van Meter and William Ham
mer.
Stands Outlined
During the meeting and in a
league questionnaire made pub
lie last night, the candidates
defined their stands on the ma
jor issues of the campaign in
cluding schools, tax rates, PLAN
ming and zoning, annexation
and the overall future of Falls
Church.
Although all candidates ex-
pressed strong support for
good schools" - a traditional
campaign issue in Falls Church
- they differed on the means
to the end. Lewis Jones said
he believed needed school con-
struction could be achieved on
a pay-as-you-go basis. He ad-
vocated a $450,000 building
program for George Mason
High School and Madison
Elementary School, requiring a
30-cent tax increase for a two
year period.
The CBC candidates backed
a $750,000 bond issue for the
same construction, passed last
November but now tied up in
court. The Falls Church Tax
payers League, of which Mr..
Trapp is former president,
brought suit against the city
charging voting irregularities
on the bond balloting.
Other Issues
Comments on other issues in

Taxes The candidates
generally agreed on the need
for a broadened tax base, at

straight-faced that ABC board

us, in view of the item under dis

The story underneath referred to
the fact that the State Minimum
Wage Law was changed last week
in this way. firms having as many
as four employees must pay at
least rs cents an hour. Until the
law was changed, firms having five
or less were not covered.
Now it is estimated that lower
ing the figure will affect 10000
more employees. This is true. But
virtually all of these employees are
ALREADY getting rs cents o,
