Cash dividend payments by
corporations issuing public re-
ports totalled S2.1 billion in
June. bringing their payments
for the first half of this year
to ST. billion or Z per cent
more than for the first half of
1861. the Commerce Depart
ment reported today.
June dividends were 5 per
cent higher than in the same
month last year. with almost
all major industry groups re-
porting gains.
Three-fourths of the 500
million advance from June,
1861, was in the manufacturing
industries, the department said.
Only one segment Of manu-
featuring showed a decline, and
this was caused by a shift in
the time at which dividends are
disbursed by one of the large
electrical machinery producers.
The z per cent increase from
last year in January-through-
June dividend payments was
one of the largest in recent
years, the department said, and
reflected the increase in cor
porate profits brought about by
the business recovery.
Oil refiners accounted for
about half Of the six-month
rise in manufacturing Civi-
dends, and paid nearly one
eighth more in the first half
of this year than last. The oil
companies disbursed s796 mil
lion to stockholders.

Foirfox Board to Appeal
Trailer Zoning Upset

The Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors voted yesterday to
appeal a circuit court ruling
that threw out a trailer park
coming off Route / near Bar
gain City.
Commemorative Alto rney
Robert c. Fitzgerald told the
board: Il don't think you have
any alternative than to appeal"
In voiding the coming action
on the 177-acre tract last
month, Judge Calvin Van Dyck
said it was based on a condi-
ton that developers would
limit the number of trailers to
700 instead of the 1,75O nor
mally allowed in the coming
classification.
Such conditions, he said,
destroy uniformity of coming
and should not be permitted.

yesterday that the court had
passed on the motives of the
supervisors. But Legislative
motives have never been SUBJ
ject to judicial review in this
State" he said.
Before filing the appeal, Mr..
Fitzgerald said, he intended to
ask Judge Van Dyck to recon-
slider his decision.
Attorney Paul Peachey, who
proposed to build 200 of the
trailer units, said the appeal
would delay his project and
