man, last night suggested Mrs

cussed last night would be es-
tablished either by action OF
the Planning Commission OF
the Board of Supervisors, Mrs
Henderson said.
Formation of a committee
was mentioned at a public hear
ing before the planning COM
mission last night after a State
health official indicated Fair
fax County already had more
than the $50 nursing home
units a county its size would
require and still faced appli-
cations which would approx
mately double this figure.
The gas station situation was
introduced by Mrs. Henderson

By a Star Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. GA bill
to include Dulles Internataiona
Airport in the Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit

in the Maryland Legislature by
delegates from Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties.
The bill was drafted by Dele
gate Carlton r. Sickles, Demo

request of the metropolitan,
Area Transit Commission.

has been passed by the Vir.
ginia Legislature.
Mr.. Sickles also introduced
a resolution asking that the

The Prince Georges delegate
said that the problem of mass

transportation between urban
areas has become lone of the
most vexing of our times" He
said the study would give
Maryland officials a better pic.

Officers Elected
By Fairfax City
Taxpayers Group

The newly organized Fairfax
City Taxpayers Alliance elected
its first permanent slate of
officers last night and voted to
continue the fight for city
charter referendum amend
ments.
Harley M. Williams was
elected as president, William H.
Grimm, vice president; Mrs.
Glenn Curtis, secretary, and
w. r. finder, treasurer.
The group decided that,
should the Virginia House of
Delegates reject referendum
amendments to the proposed
new charter for the city, an
effort would be made to add
the amendments in the State
Senate.
The amendments urged by
the alliance, he said, would
provide for referendums OH Cd
whether the municipality should
continue to function as a city
or should revert to town status
and CD whether the proposed
city charter should be ap-
proved or another charter
drafted by an elected commits
sion.

598, which would allow the city
council to issue bonds to pay
current operating deficits, still
may not prevent a tax increase

Fear Of Labor Law Clash
May CurtaiI Kennedy Plan

and ineffective In resolving la
Dor disputes. Furthermore, they
argue, the machinery is SO in
flexible and practicable that 1t
discourages voluntary settle
ments.
New legislation Proposed
Mr.. Kennedy before his cleo
ton proposed new legislation to
give the President a wide va
riety Of weapons to use in Ma
tional emergency disputes, in
GLIDING mediation, fact-finding,
plant seizure, compulsory arbi-
tration and injunctions.
BY keeping labor and man
agement guessing, he said, the
array Of weapons would deter
strikes. And, he said, the Pres
ident could tailor his actions to
put pressure on the labor or
management side.
Mr.. Kennedy's attitude an
parently has changed since his
early statements. If he pro-
poses legislation, he is expected
to follow in substance the mild
er recommendations made ear
lier this year by his Advisory
Committee on Labor-Manage-
ment Policy.
The committee laid heavy
emphasis on more vigorous
mediation efforts at early
stages Of labor disputes. This
has been the policy Of the Fed
eral Mediation and Concilia-
ton Service during the Ken
nedy administration.
Has Emergency Plan
If a dispute threatens the
national health or safety. the
committee said, the President
should be empowered to ap-
point an emergency dispute
board. The board would press
mediation efforts and could
propose binding arbitration,
but the committee rejected the
idea of compelling labor and
management to submit to
arbitration.
The board also could be en-
powered by the President to
recommend specific settlement
terms.
An advisory board appointed
by Mr.. Kennedy last summer
without specific statutory au-
thority-followed these proce-
dures In the Lockheed case and
other aerospace industry dis
putes with mixed results.
Urges Corner Cutting
The committee also recon-
mended that the President
be authorized to bar a strike
for up to 80 days by executive
order-without the need to
obtain a court injunction. His
order would be subject to
judicial review, however.
Mediation, fact-finding and
recommendations by the board
would be pursued during the
80-day period. The board also
could recommend changes in
wages or other conditions of
employment to take effect dur
ing this period.
The committee recommend
ed elimination Of the require
ment for a ballot on manage

Controversy Predicted

Controversy Predicted
Informed officials expect the
list of Presidential demands
may be shorter than it was in
1861 or 1862, but they still fore
see plenty of controversy be-
fore its major items are
enacted.
There won't be as many big
pieces of meat for Congress to
gulp down." one guessed, but
some of them win be tough to
digest"
The tax bill-its exact pro-
visions are still being weighed
by the President-will be the
top priority item, without ques-
ton. Pushing it through both
House and Senate in one year
will take some doing, admins
tration officials concede, but
that is their goal. Congress
will also be asked to reconsider
the proposals for medical care
for the aged under social secu-
rity and Federal aid to educa-
ton that engendered months
of angry debate before they
were defeated last year.
Compromises Foreseen
The medicare proposal likely
will be based on the Anderson
Javits bill, which the Senate
rejected last July on a 52-4S
vote. This was a modified YER
sion of the original admins
tration plan, retaining social
security financing but permit
ting private insurance COM
panies to participate in the
program.
Education bills, on the Other
hand, may be substantially mod.
flied from those Mr.. Kennedy
sent up in 1861 and LEGAL
of which were blocked by re-
ligious controversy and otheI
objections.
The newly appointed Com
missioner of Education, Franci
Keppel, was handed a bulginI
folder of alternative approache
late last week and asked Il
make recommendations.
Mr.. Keppel, former Harvard
education dean, enjoys the per
sonal confidence of Mr.. Ken,
nedy to a greater degree thar
did Sterling McMurrin, prede
ceSsor. His suggestions likel!
will carry great weight, and h,
also will be given major respon'
sibility for selling the program
to Congress.
