man of the Fairfax County Re-
publican Committee.
In a telegram, he told the
Governor that the General As
sembly should give Fairfax
three Senators and seven Dele
gates instead of the two Sem
ators and three Delegates pro-
vided by the short-changing re-
apportioning act of 1862" which
was declared unconstitutional
yesterday.
Sounding the same theme,
10th District Chairman Robert
j. Gerber called upon Northern
Virginians to flood the Gov
ernor's office with kilograms
and letters demanding prompt
enactment of fair reapportion-
ment by a special session.
Another Republican leader,
William H. Moss, chairman of
the Fairfax Board Of County
Supervisors, predicted that the
reapportionment decision will
accelera;e development of a
two-party system in Northern
Virginia.
Rural Power PeriIed
Any reapportionment approx
imately based on population
would end rural dominance of
the General Assembly.
Should Virginia cities and
their suburbs obtain the ma
jority of legislative representa-
ton which their populations
justify. several important con-
sequences would be likely.
The present formula which
now heavily favors counties in
the distribution of highway
construction and maintenance
funds doubtless would be re-
vised to give cities an even
break.
!. Urban areas. such as North
Tern Virginia and Norfolk would
4 be able to exercise more pres
sure for increased expenditures
upon education and other
projects important to expand
ing suburbs.
Were rural control of the
Legislature to end, Arlington
again would consider trans
forming itself into a city.
Arlington has been deferred
in the past from trying to be-
come a city primarily because
1t would lose several hundred
thousands of dollars annually
in highway construction money
under existing regulations.
Fairfax County, the most I'M
der-represented Jurisdiction in
the State, would be the greatest
beneficiary of a reapportion-
ment.
Its chances of receiving legis-
lation to protect it from an
nexation and augmentation by
formation of new towns within
its borders would be enormously
enhanced.
Reapportionment. though,
probably would not Immediately
cause abandonment Of Vir-
ginia's additionally conserva-
tive fiscal policy nor would it
necessarily undermine the Byrd
organization.

Heller s Ideas
For Planners
Under Attack
Regional Agency
Expansion Held
Lacking Support
By ROBERT ]. LEWIS
Star Staff Writer

A professional planners pro-
posal TO increase vastly his
agency's power to control
Washington area development
ran into sharp opposition to-
day.
The planner is G. Louis
Heller. and the agency is the
decade-old National Capital
Regional Planning Council.
In a statement today, the
councils chairman, District
Engineer Commissioner Fred
erick j. Clarke, made clear
that Mr.. Heller's proposals we're
not SUPPORTED by the 10-mem-
Der regional council itself.
"The council has not acted
on them" Brig. Gen. Clarke
said. Actually, this is just Mr..
Heller's document"
Enlargement Advocated
Citing deficiencies and weak
nesses," Mr.. Heller called for
enlargement Of his agency's
membership by the addition of
nine representatives of Federal
departments and agencies.
He also asked for new powers
over future decisions to carry
out provisions of the Year 1000
Plan in the Washington Area,
more funds and a greatly in
creased planning staff.
The 34-year-old planner
Joined the agency five months
ago as staff director. Previ-
ously he served as a regional
planner in Peoria, H., and in
Altoona, Pa.
Mr.. Heller brought his ideas
to public attention yesterday by
writing "a preliminary draft
report" and sending it to the
newspapers. ~
The National Capital Plan
ming Commission supplies al
funds to pay the staff Of thu
regional council, with whicl
it shares offices.
One NCPC official said to-
day:
4 $50 far as I know, Mr.
Heller hasn't touched base with
anyone in this shop"
The National Capital Plan
ming Commission is designated
by Congress as the central
planning agency for the Fed
eral and District Governments
to plan for orderly develop
ment Of the National Capital.
NCRPC has the role by the
legislation for regional plan
ming.
Called Unsatisfactory
Likewise challenging Mr..
Heller's proposals today, a
spokesman for the potent
Metropolitan Washington
Council of Governments said:
This scheme is very I'M
satisfactory from the stand
point of Washington area local
governments"

The autopsy of an airplane
is a strange rite, sometimes with
strange results.
Yesterday the Civil Aeronau-
tics Board revealed that not
one but two swans struck the
United Air Lines Viscount that
sliced into a wooded section on
a farm 10 miles from Balti-
more last Friday killing II
persons.
The discovery was not with
out irony. 1t showed that if
the fatal blow had been a few
inches up or down, the tragedy
might not have occurred.
The second hit was on the
right Stabilizer, the horizontal
part of the tail-in an identical
position on the side opposite
the fatal impact.
The second swan left only q
pencil-line crease, a foot long
and an eighth of an inch deep
along the top of the stabilizer
Around the crease the blood OF
the swan looks like dried glue
and is cluttered with small
remnants of feathers.
IF the other hit had been
just inches higher" said Ed
ward c. Wood, structure expert
for CAB, cit probably would
not have been a penetrating
blow"
The grisly aura of the au-
topsy at the United Air lines
hangar at National Airport is
a little like having a morgue
in the middle of a maternity
ward.
Like CrumpIed Paper
Next to the 32-feet of twisted
tail-looking like giant pieces
of crumpled gray paper-is a
shiny Viscount with a new coat
of red, white and blue paint.
The stripped down motors
CLEAN as mechanics check
every polished part.
In the next room, the doc
tors"-CAB, FAA, United and
olls-Royce personnel - hover
over four piles of rubber. On
the opposite side of the room
in mocking repose, is polished
and newly overhauled motors
give the viewer an eerie picture
of what the rubble once was.
Was there anything to be
gained from such an autopsy?
Or was it as routine as many
Of the human autopies that
go on day and night? In this
case there was no question as
to its value.
BY re-assembling the tail, the
experts had learned some vital,
If perhaps terrifying, items. The

Much has been spoken and
written of the tremendous fight
ing qualities of a bluegill. May
be too much, in fact.
Pound for pound the best
fighting fish Of ALL"
..."R t Their catch bluegills
than any other game fish"
..."Best eating fish there is"
All of these things may be
true; in fact I'm sure they are,
but to admit to a dark secret,
I'd rather c a tc h largemouth
bass than anything that swims.
I tie a popping bug on the end
of a tapered leader, the leader
to a fly line and the line to a
fly rod. Then 7 take this rig
out to the nearest bass water
and have an eVer-lovin' picnic.
Most of the time fish from
a boat. I have a little Nero ITO
clamped on the transom, allow
ing me to fish great number
of places in a short time. While
I'm I'll h ing, I fish slowly,
mighty slowly, but as soon as
I decide to change spots I can
rev up that motor and get to
new water in a hurry.
FISH SLOWLY
BY slowly I mean allowing
from 80 seconds to a minute
for a retrieve. Pulling a pepper
bug back in too fast is a COM
mon mistake Of beginners, and
the most common reason for
not hooking bass. Bass bug
ging is most productive close
to shorelines, within 20 to 80
feet of the bank, among rocks,
weed patches, fallen timber and
lily pads. Invariably at morn
ing and evening and occasional
ly at other times bass come
in close to shore to feed, hit
ting frogs, mice and various
insect life that falls there from
the nearby trees.

Please don't get me wrong.

mark. He was also a leader in hits
with So.
Among the leading hitters were
Vada Pinson, the Cincinnati Reds
center fielder, who had a $40
mark, and Willie Davis, who is
proving that he is the kind of star
the Los Angeles Dodgers expected
he would be, with .339 mark.
San Francisco's strongboy, Or
lando Cepeda, was leading in RIBS
with 43 and pressing his illustri-
GUS teammate, Mays (19) for home
run honors with Is and Ernie
Banks, the Chicago Cubs first
baseman, had IL. In RIBS, Tommy
Davis, no relation to Willie, but also
a Dodger outfielder, was trailing
Cepeda with 40. Pinson, with SO,
and Bill White, the st. Louis first
baseman, 81, were among the pace
settlers.
Wills Running Wild
Maury Wills, the Dodgers short
stop, was running wild on the
bases, leading both leagues with
10 thefts. Among other MI speed
sters on the base paths were w.
Davis, IL; Tony Taylor, Philadel-
phia, 9; Junior Gillian, Dodgers;
Ted Savage, Philadelphia; Jose

There is no money or pay raises

afford it virtually hundreds of

Almost About
Every thing
BY PERCY VILLA
Rennenher map

Remember me?
I'm the guy who seven weeks
ago told Boss Newman that I'm
taking off for my favorite vaca-
tionland - Las Vegas for three
weeks. Well I did just that and
returned a month ago but was too
lazy to starting writing a column.
This has been my longest writing
vacation to date - and I sincere
ly think I'm over that spring feel
ing. maybe summer will arrive
by the time you read this).
At any rate I'm happy to be
back again and won't take another
vacation-till the next time.
The other week my good friend
Ted Mann invited the Villas to
attend the preview showing of
Judgment at Nuremberg" (cur-
rently showing at the Academy
theatre). This is without a doubt
a crushing indictment Of civiliza-
ton. You gasp and shudder watch
ing actual films of Nazi war crimes
being performed by the German
military leaders. With able cinema
per n alitie like Maximillian
Schell, Spencer Tracy, Judy Gar
land, Richard Widmark, Mont
gomery Cliff and Bert Lancaster
playing the roles. For three hours
I was spellbound without moving
a muscle or reason for a brief
chat with those sitting around me.
The war criminals who COM
mitted those CHASTITY atrocities are
all free. Then perhaps it can all
happen again in another era, or
maybe yet in this one.
Now that Chicago will be the
scene of the Floyd Patterson-Son-
ny Liston heavyweight champion
ship bout - if it ever comes off
it is ironic particularly since Sep
TENDER is the 35th anniversary of
the Battle of the Long Count.
On September %, 1927 Jack
Dempsey climbed into the ring at
Soldier Field before more than
100000 bowling fans and climbed
back out 10 rounds later, a whip
ped challenger.
Dempsey's failure to go to a
neutral corner gave Gene Tunney
10 seconds on the canvas and cost
him a golden chance to regain
the title.
In a sense Liston is in the same
predicament since he alone is to
blame for his past police records
But the hard hitting slugger from
Philadelphia can be forgiven if he
asks himself if honesty pays after
all.
Fair play demands that Liston
