Northern Virginia
Projects in Bud get
By Q Star staff Writer

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. IL
Gov. Almond today recon-
rnended money to plan a
new Northern Virginia mental
hospital and to continue con-
struction of a branch college
in Fairfax County.
These are among projects In
a 1888 million capital outlay
program in the budget he sub
mitted to the General Assembly
today.
For planning the Northern
Virginia mental hospital, he
recommended an appropriation
OF $l5o,o00. The institution,
which is designed to furnish
both impatient treatment and
after-care to relieve the load on
Western State Hospital at
Staunton and other mental
hospitals, will be built on land
adjacent to the new Fairfax
County Hospital on Gallows
road.
To continue construction of
buildings at George Mason
College in the City Of Fairfax,
the Governor included an item
of $59o,o00.
This institution, which is a
branch Of the University OF
Virginia, first began its pro-
gram several years ago at
Washington-Lee High School
in Arlington and then moved
to a former Fairfax County
public school building at Bal
ley's Cross Roads.
In the overall capital outlay
program, 1852 million will be
financed out of general funds
raised from taxation while $2.6
million will come from special
funds. Most Of the general fund
money-$21 million-would go
to educational facilities. This
amounts to more than So per
cent OF the total.
Mental institutions would get
14.9 per cent Of $5.4 million.
The program anticipates an
unspent balance of $20.5 mil
lion on June 80 to carry over
into the next two fiscal years.
The Governors budget pro-
videS for $34.5 million for con-
struction and SIT million for
equipment at various institu-
tions. His construction recon-
mendation fell slightly below
the $35 million suggested by
the Commission on State Cap
ital Outlays.
Among items approved were
$l,077,900 to Madison College
at Harrisonburg; $5.3S5, 900 for
the University Of Virginia at
Charlottesville; $458,o00 for
Mary Washington College at
Fredericksburg, and $4,000
for the Medical College OF Vir-
ginia at Richmond.
The Governor declined to
approve a $1.6 million request
from the Woodrow Wilson Re-
habilitation Center at Fishers
vile.

Twelve apartment residents
were rescued by firemen early
today as 13 Prince Georges
County companies, hampered
by ice-clogged lines and chok-
ing smoke, battled a stubborn
three-alarm blaze in a Seat
Pleasant apartment building.
Two firemen were given emer-
gency treatment, and a Is

ported that thick smoke pre-
vented him from entering the
building to aid residents call
ing for help from second and
third-story windows.
Swift action by firemen was
credited with the rescue of IL
trapped residents.
One family of four, includ-
ing two pajama-clad chill
dren, was rescued by two Hill
side fire department members,
Pvt. Walter L. Spittle and his
brother, Charles.
Pvt. Spittle was one of the
firemen taken to Prince
Georges General Hospital for
treatment. He slipped while
climbing an ice-coated aerial
ladder and caught his right
foot in the rungs. He suffered
a possible fracture.
Also treated was a 23-year-
old Capitol Heights volunteer
fireman, Eugene Herring, over
come by smoke while escorting
occupants of the apartments

Puts SickIes
On Ticket
BY PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

Carlton r. Sickles, State
delegate from Prince Georges
County, has been added to the
MISUNDERSTANDING Demo
cratic primary ticket as candi-
date for Maryland's new
CongreSs-at-large seat.
Announcement Of the selec-
ton by George P. Mahoney, the
gubernatorial candidate, fol-
lowed by a few hours the
naming of another Prince
Georges County man, House
Speaker Perry o. Wilkinson, as
congressional candidate on the
ticket Of Gov. Tawes.
Thus, the two major Demo
cratic congressional candidates
on the two major primary
tickets are from the same
county and have been working
together for several years as
members of the Prince Georges
delegation to the General
Assembly.
The addition of Mr.. Sickles
to the Mahoney ticket is ex.
pected to strengthen the ticket
with organized labor. Mr.
Sickles is a lawyer specializing
in labor matters and has
headed the Labor Committee
in the House of Delegates fol
several years.

eral Assembly, two Of whom are
from the Washington suburbs
Like Mr.. Lee, Mr.. Sickle:
frequently voted against Gov
TaweS in the General Assembly
His Tawes' ticket opponent, Mr.
Wilkinson, has been a close sup
porter of the Governor.
Mr.. Wilkinson's place on the
Tawes ticket was urged by
Prince Georges County politica,
leader Lansdale G. Sasscer, sr
1t was reported that Gov. Tawes
also had considered Mr.. Sickles
but Mr.. Sasscer vetoed him.
Although both delegates have
run for the Maryland House
with the blessing of the Sasscel
organization, Mr.. Sickles ha:
not been as close to the old-line
Democratic organization as Mr.
Wilkinson. Mr.. Sickles' supper
has come from the newer sec.
tions of the county.
His candidacy for the con.
gresSional post is supported by

reported.
Mr.. Mann also offered legis-
lation to exempt fallout shell

Prosecution
Of2in Relief
Fake Studied

Two District welfare recip-
tents who allegedly failed to
disclose certain sources of In
come may face prosecution by
the United States District At
torney.
A District Attorneys office
spokesman said that the cases
involve a mother who has
drawn $2,29l in relief payments
while holding a full-time Job
and an elderly man who re-
ceived relief at the same time
he received Social Security
payments during the past year.
Relief recipients are required
to sign statements reporting
all sources Of income to well
fare authorities. The amount
of the welfare grant is then
determined on the basis Of the
gap between their needs and
COCd1 IllCOLIlc.
The two recipients face pos
sible prosecution under the
false pretenSes statute and are
subject to 1-to-3-year SEN
tences, the spokesman said. In
signed statements, the mother
denied having employment, the
spokesman said, and the man
said he did not have any in
come.
District Welfare Director
Gerard M. Shea said today that
the cases were turned over to
the District Attorneys office
as result of the departments
routine investigation Of well
fare rolls.
Edmond T. DAILY, assistant
United States attorney and
chief Federal prosecutor at
Municipal Court. said welfare
fraud has not been a major
problem in the District. He said
the last welfare case confined
to fraud alone that was prose-
cuted successfully was in 1858,
when a couple was charged
with IS counts of obtaining
welfare checks under false
pretenses. The couple was con-
victed on only one count, how
ever.

Up1o|ds
Fairfax Ban
Of Apartment
BY JOHN LAWSON
Star Staff Writer

Fairfax County may resist
pressures for apartments des-
pite great demand for them,
a Circuit Court Judge ruled
today.
Judge Calvin Van Dyck up
held the County's rejection of
a $2.5 million apartment pro-
Ject in Mclean. The proposal
had grenerated bitter opposi-
ton from residents Of the area.
In his opinion, Judge Van
Dyck said Fairfax did not have
to permit apartment develop
ment even though there is a
need for them because Of the
County's proximity to Wash
ington.
The Board Of Supervisors,
Judge Van Dyck said, sis not
bound to conform County
zoning to an overall area plan
or need, but is legally free to
adopt that zoning which it feels
best meets the needs of Fair
fax County,"
He also upheld the boards
right to preserve the existing
character Of a neighborhood by
refusing to permit introduction
OF apartments.
Prior decisions make it clear.
Judge Van Dyck said, that "it
is not the function of the trial
court to constitute itself as a
zoning authority and determine
Tor itself whether a rezoning
should have been granted or
refused. as this would be sub
stituting the courts view for
those Of the legislative branch
OF the local government"
The dispute over the project
has been going on for years.
At one time the property was
zoned for apartments, but a
use permit was denied when
an application was filed three
years ago. The land subse-
quently was zoned residential.
An application for the Tower
Apartments project was filed
by o. v. Carper and Morris L.
Fuchs. They planned to build
the development on a seven
acre tract on the north side of
Old Dominion drive, about a
half-mile from Route 1913.
Residents of Mclean strongly
objected that the apartments
would downgrade the commu-
nifty. The application was re-
jected by the Board Of Super
visors in December 1860.
The developers filed suit the
following month, contending
that the land was not practic-
able for development as single
family residences and that
apartments would not be detri-
mental to the area.

more than was appropriated for
the current two-year period.
Mr.. Adams made it clear at

would not support increased
demands for services.
The budget submitted in
cludes recommendations for:
Two new public school pro-
grams - Educational televiSion

techniques.
Substantial boosts in funds

Gov. Almond proposed adding
to the States normal tax
structure the liquor and to-
