Competition Avoided
But where Arlington, for in
stance. hires many teachers in
the upper steps Of the scale,
Fairfax hires most of its teach
ers on the lower steps and
thus is not in competition with
Arlington, he said.
: He added. however, that he
would favor a $1,000 to $4,000
salary range If Fairfax taxpay-
ers wanted it and could pay for
it.
Mr.. Heriot said the scale
must be within the salary pat
tern of the community" The
education associations pro-
posal, he said, would put Fair
fax ahead Of other school sys-
TENS and prompt unnecessary
competition for higher salaries.
The federation meeting had
been scheduled for January 10,
but was postponed until last
night because of snow. The
federation will present its COM
mentS on the budget at to-
nights public hearing at An

Federation members also
questioned the panel about the
proposed pre-primary program
for which Mr.. Woodson has
asked $4,000. The program,
a four-week session for young
sters about to enter the first
grade, will help orient the chill
dren to school. Mr.. Walker said.
Actually, he added, q full
fledged kindergarten program
during the school year would
be desirable If we felt we could
afford it,"
In answer to a question con-
cerning a longer school day. Mr.
Woodson said he would like to
see school run from 8 am. to
IS pm. in urban areas where
children can walk to and from
school. He said he would favor
an experimental program in
one or two schools next year
but added that the idea was
still in its preliminary stages.

Fairfax County should not
advance teachers salaries too
rapidly because it would

the maximum from the $6,522

instead that the board adopt

 There is nothing about the name Adak to remind one of peace. Further more, almost: everyone here wears ami T. itary uni form. The countryside is spotted with remnants and vestiges of a great war.

Star Science Writer

A German astronomer be-
lieves there is an even chance
Of making contact with beings
in other solar systems-pro-
vided we are imaginative and
patient enough.
The chances are that they,
rather than we, will be the
superior beings. says Sebas-
tian Won Hoerner Of Heidel-
berg In the magazine Science,
a publication of the American
Association for the Advance
ment Of Science. But, he adds,
they will probably be under
standing of the shortcomings
of backward creatures like us,
and will help us along once
contact is established.
DR.. Won Hoerner believes the
beings we will make contact
with are somewhere within a
thousand light years of us. A
light year is about 6 million
million miles. These beings. he
supposes, have been at or above
our chronological level for
about 10000 years. They are
probably in contact with other
advanced civilizations and are
trying to reach other prospec-
tive members of the interstellar
communications CLUB"
One particularly interesting
feature of these beings past
history. DR.. Won Hoerner spec
ulates, is that they somehow
managed thousands Of years
ago to avert the holocaust of
atomic war. 1t would be worth
trying to get into contact with
them. he says. just to find
out how they did 1t.
But there is no sense in 60
ing about the effort blindly. he
warns. What is needed is a
methodical approach. A more
or less haphazard attempt at
detecting signals from outer
space-called Project Ozma"-
is now under way at the Ma

1000 light years away would
not receive our acknowledge

years more to get a response

The people at the other end,

really be long-range planners,

programs that are highly un-
likely to pay off for thou

FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

CLOSE CALL: In 1852
Dean Acheson, then Secre-
tary of State, was in Berlin
to lay a cornerstone of the
American Memorial Library,
he recalls in Sketches From
Life"
"A great host of citizens
filled the grounds around the
library and spilled over into
the street. When the mortar
was spread, and the stone
containing a box of papers
lowered into place, the mas
ter mason handed me his
hammer. Having been care
fully coached, 1 tapped the
stone with it and spoke a
wish for the building yet to
be.
Others followed, each with
a wish, like fairy godmothers
around a cradle. We must be
careful, so we were told, not
to tap too hard. A lusty blow
had on one occasion cracked
a stone.
Some time later, in the
course of excavation on the
spot where I stood to make
my speech, the diggerS un-
earthed an unexploded bomb
dropped on Berlin during the
war. Had I known what was
so close under my feet, I
doubt whether I should have
detained my audience so

The music was a nice mix

have served as a specialized
history lesson. Each work rep
resented the adaptation of a

And in each case, the means of
adaptation were the same: the
introduction of a few archaic
traits and the abandonment

approach. At short range, the
