than q dozen railroad employees
testified that tests showed the
brake equipment to be in good

The tape record of a speed
recorder on the second diesel

travelling at IS miles per hour
shortly before the derailment.

Stote Rushing Survey
Of Roods, Foirfox Told

An immediate survey Of vim
ter road damage with a view To
making money available for re-
pairs based on need was assured
a Fairfax County delegation by
the Virginia Highway Commits
sioner yesterday.
Delegates John Webb and
Mrs. Dorothy McDiarmid of
Fairfax-Falls Church, who led
the delegation Of five local gov
ernment officials to Richmond,
said Commissioner H. H. Harris
told them a Statewide survey
OF winter road damage would
be completed early in April,
and a recommendation would
be made to the full commission
thereafter for handling repairs.

the delegates said, to propose
that one lump sum be appro-

Mrs. McDiarmid said q

fit by this plan because it had
suffered, such extensive damage
on so many roads. It ties the
repair bill more closely to the
needs of an area than would

customarily are allocated, she
added.

outlook.

added, "but | know I'm consid-

about what happens in spring

will be able to help others as
