Webb Abondons Hopes
F or Fairfax Charter Bill

called off a proposed referen-
dunn on a merger with the
town of Clifton, which is
entirely surrounded by the
county.
Mr.. Webb said he still is
attempting to amend the con-
solidation law to overcome the
Judges objections, but he was
not too optimistic about its do
ing Fairfax County any good.
"It seems apparent now" he
said, that a study (of an
1exation laws) and a two-year
moratorium will be enacted al
this session. This two-year
moratorium will allow us time
to work out our internal prob
lens, extend urban services
and allow us to make a strong
er case for city status at the
1864 session."
Mr.. Webb did not touch on
another factor which has en-
FILTERED many of the Byrd Or
ganization members against
Fairfax. The county not only
voted against Governor Harri-
son in last years Democratic
primary but also gave Repub-
lican H. Clyde Pearson a ma
jority in the general election
that followed.
Political retribution may
work against the county, too,
when legislation to reapportion
seats in the House and Senate
makes its way to the floor,
probably this week. The Fair
fax-Falls Church district, by
far the most under-represented
area in the State based on
population, would get two more
delegates for a total of four
and a second State Senator
plus a "floater" with Arling-
ton, under the pending legisla-
ton.
Although its populat tt o n
would entitle the Fairfax-Falls
Church district to a total of
seven delegates, there is a Sc
rious possibility of cutbacks in
the pending legislation.

The result for the court has
been an increasing backlog of
cases. Today they stand at more
than 1000. Cases have been
delayed for as long as Is weeks.
From the point of view of
the Senate, the quickest, SIM
plest way to handle the situa-
ton is to add two more judges
to the bench. The Senate
passed such a bill last year.
Wants Shakeup
But on the House side stands
Mr.. Davis, unimpressed with
tWo-judge arguments and con-
WINGED the court needs a dras-
tic shakeup.
AS he said recently:
THE House District Com
mittee might easily have yield
ed to pressure by prescribing
the two judge anesthetic to
hide the ills of the court. Such
action by the committee and
the Congress may quiet the
urgings of the two more judges
and nothing else pressure
groups.
This would make certain
that within three to five years
a public cry would swell up
within the District pleading
with the Congress to do some
thing with an inefficient, con-
fused, in adequate Juvenile
Court which achieved neither
rehabilitation of juveniles nor
gave any reasonable protection
to the public"
Instead, Mr.. Davis proposes:
That the Juvenile Court be
turned into a branch of Mu-
nicipal Court Ito provide eff.
Gent use of judicial man.
power"
That one more judge be ad-
ded to the adult court bench.
That the age limit of juve.
niles brought before the court
be reduced from 10 to is. Mr.
Davis calls the 16-year-olc
limit realistically related tt
the local high rate of vicious
offenses among l6 to 18-year-
old offenders.
Other elements of the bill
would provide for flexibility in
the handling of adult cases
paternity and non-support-in
either the Juvenile Court OF
Municipal Court. These cases
make up nearly. two-thirds OF
the present backlog.
Also, juvenile traffic cases
would be placed in traffic court.
This bill took approximately
two years to draft. While build
ing his case for a court shake
up, Mr.. Davis was said to be
stalling. Senator Dodd Demo-
crat of Connecticut, called the
tactics "bullheaded" and a
logged betrayal of young
people"
When the contents of the bill
were revealed, most coinmun-
ity groups-including the Ju-
dicial Conference.-The, simply,
this would destroy the court"
Since that time. the opposi-
ton has fallen soldly behind
the two-judge idea. Mr.. Davis
has remained as firm as ever.
Any chance of compromise has
steadily deteriorated.
Gained Support
But Mr.. Davis did, in one
case, pick up some support.

RICHMOND, Feb. 24.-Fair-
fax Delegate John c. Webb to-
day abandoned all hope OF
winning passage of a charter
to incorporate his county into
a city before the General AS
sembly adjourns March 10.
He reluctantly reached this
conclusion after talking with
the chairman Of the subcom-
mittee that has had the bill
under study for the last few
weeks. s
This comes as a great dis
appointment to me-" Mr.. Webb
said" as we'll as to all the Cit
liens of Fairfax County who
have worked so hard and long
to prepare the best case pre-
sented during this session of the
General Assembly, according to
Deleg tie Lawrence Hoover
chairman Of the subcommittee
and other members of the full
committee.
Caught in Controversies
Our cause has not been de-
feated because it lacked merit
but rather because it got caught
in a vortex Of controversy
caused by factors far removed
for Fairfax County"
Almost from the day the bill
was introduced, the charter
legislation had three strikes
against it because of a num-
Der of involved political factors
including the merger of Vir-
ginia Beach with Princess Anne
County and the more recent
consolidation of South Norfolk
with Norfolk County.
Both of these mergers, which
will result in the creation OF
huge urban-rural cities COM
parable with what Fairfax
County desired, strangely
enough had the support of the
dominant bloc of rural law
makers.
One reason is because both
moves were aimed at Norfolk
the States largest city.
Inasmuch as one city cannot
annex another, the creation oil
the two new cities will surround
Norfolk on three sides. The
waters of Chesapeake Bay ir
Hampton Roads will complete

said. many members of the
General Assembly have recog-
nized that a new form of loca.
government was needed in Vir.

Morse Blasts
Death Penalty

Senator Morse. Democrat of
Oregon, last night attacked the
mandatory death penalty for
first degree murder in the Dis
trict.
Morally, the senator said, he
could not vote to give Congress
the right to let men decide
whether a human being should
live or die.
A House-passed bill to abol-
ish the mandatory death SEN
tence is pending before the
Senate. But the Oregonian has
insisted on a roll call vote, a
move which has delayed action
for a week and could postpone
the final vote for another.
Senator Morse would substi-
tute for the House bill his own
proposal making life imprison-
ment, with no chance of proba-
ton or parole, the penalty for
first degree murder. A con-
victed rapiSt, under the Morse
amendment, would be SEN
fenced to life imprisonment by
unanimous recommendation of
the jury. If jurors failed to
agree. the rapist could be sent
to jail for up to 80 years. Cur
rent law carries a 30-year
maximum prison sentence for
rapists.
How can Congress justify
playing God?" Senator Morse
asked. He maintained that the
taking Of life was Gods pre-
negative, not mans. 1t is
primitive, an act of revenge, an
eye-for-an-eye and a tooth-for-
a-tooth idea, Senator Morse
added.
From a legal standpoint, he
argued that court experience
had proved that capital punish
ment was no deterrent to crime
