Gov. A. E. S. Stephens that
economic growth, if properly
stimulated, and governmental
economies could provide the
needed additional revenue with
out new or increased taxes.
Gov. Almond said several
days in advance Of the Tues

Mr.. Harrison and Mr.. Stephens

cation, health and highways
that would require more reve-

tuned to the States essential
needs.
The last budget Gov. Almond
offered also was regarded as
realistic by him. It was keyed
to a 8 per cent general retail
sales tax with the localities
getting a liberal cut Of the net
proceeds.
The Assembly beat Gov. Al
mond on the sales tax but was
unable to do much trimming
on his budget. Mr.. Harrison's
successful running mates for
Lieutenant Governor and at
torney general-Senators Mills
E. Goodwin and Robert Y. But
ton-were leaders in the or
ganization faction that sank
the sales tax but couldn't make
their budget cuts stick.
The 10 per cent tax on liquor
and the cigarette tax were
adopted as fallback measures
to pull in some Of the extra
revenue.
A number Of staunch Harri-
son supporters in his winning
primary run were on Gov. Al
mond's side in the money fight
in the Legislature.
Mr.. Harrison has already an
nounced he plans to tour all
the States major institutions
before he takes office, condi-
toned to the modest assump-
ton that he will be the winner

Melpar'S representative, r.
Brandon Marsh, replied that
though the road will not be
built now, it might be needed
in the future for emergency
use-in the case the company's
main exit to Arlington boule-
ward becomes blocked.
Besides, said Mr.. Marsh, the
parking lot was not designed
for 5000 cars and has never
held 5000 cars.
Supervisors are concerned
about the problem because an
attractive subdivision full Of
voters is pitted against one Of
the county's most desirable in
dustries.
They are concerned also be-
cause other subdivisions have
lately been asking that their
streets be vacated or dead
ended to control traffic.

A group Of homeowners, 9
large electronics firm and tht
Fairfax Board of County Su-
pervisors are going to leave il
up to the Virginia Supreme
Court whether or not a piece
of land 6 inches wide should
be part of a street.
The 6-inch strip lies at the
end of a street in Pine Spring
which runs into the property
Of the electronics firm-Mel-
par, Inc.
The homeowners, who COM
prise the Pine Spring Civic AS
sociation, fear Melpar en-
ployes might use the road to
drive through their subdivi-
sion. q
At their request, the Board
Of Supervisors last year elimi-
mated that prospect by ending
the street 6 inches short of
Melpar'S property.
Court Decision Awaited
Melpar appealed to the Cir
cult Court and got a ruling
that the supervisors acted IL
legally - which made the 6
inches a street again.
Last Wednesday, once more
at the request of the home
owners, the supervisors agreed
to appeal the court ruling. and
thus it is all up to the State
Supreme Court.
The whole problem began in
1852 when Pine Spring was de-
veloped and the street, Wood
berry Lane, was laid out to
run into an adjoining subdivi-
sion.
The adjoining subdivision
never materialized but Melpar
Inc, did. The street ran, there
fore, into Melpar's land.
Took No Stand
Though Melpar never said it
would use the street, it never
said it wouldn't, and home
owners decided the threat
could be eliminated by vacating
the six inches at the end.
The supervisors held a public
hearing on the matter last year
after which they vacated the
six inches on a vote Of 5-to-2,
the two opponents indicating it
might not be legal.
Melpar meanwhile main
tained it had no intention Of
using the street now though it
didn't want Pine Spring decid-
ing that it never could be used.
Court Action Brought
The company. therefore, op-
posed the supervisors action,
took the issue to court, and won
a ruling last month from Cir

DR.. zimmerman said the pro-
|poSal. modelled on q trisemester
plan adopted by the University
of Pittsburgh in 1853, would
allow students to speed up their
study programs by about one
third.
He admitted, however, that
the committee might not rec
ommend the accelerated pro-
gram. unless one or more Of
the areas major universities
adopts a similar schedule. He
said he knew of no such plans
by any Of those schools.
More than half of Mont
gomery's two year graduates
enter programs leading to bach
elor degrees in other schools,
a college official said.
1000 Expected
The Takoma Park institution.
established in 1916, expects to
enroll some 1000 students next
year. Principally offering lib
eral arts courses. the college
has a faculty Of 110, about half
on a full-time basis. About 500
students are attending summer
school this year.
The tri-semester program,
DR.. zimmerman said. is some
what different from the all-year
plan for county elementary and
secondary schools recently out
lined by Supt. c. Taylor Whit
tier.
The latter proposal, also sub
ject to Board of Education ap-
proval, calls for three attend
ance periods of about IL weeks
each. separated by vacation In
tervals of about a month.
BY dividing classes into over
tapping cycles which begin on
different dates, schools could
be used throughout the year.
