"'You dumb cluck, you'd bet

kept on.
Pretty soon the blood started
flowing and he yelled for the
cops. Then he looked like he
passed out-he sort of caved
down on his knees.
"A man who was watching it
all from the street came in and
said, you ought to stop hitting
that fellow"
Finally two passing police Of
ficers came to the rescue.
They picked up pistol, shoes,
and Higgins and took him to
the D. C. General Hospital,
where he was treated for head
wounds. Then they booked
him for robbery.
Meanwhile, back at shop, the

run down a rear fire escape to

be consistent with" park serv-
ice policy for the roads it
maintains, Mr.. Jet said.
Fearing that the park service
would get the road, the Fairfax
County Board of Supervisors
last month voted unanimously
to inform FAA they felt very
strongly" the parallel lanes
should be permitted. Board
leaders said county officials
had not pressed FAA for in
terchanges to give local traffic
access to the airport road. The
reason they did not do so, the
leaders said, was an under
standing that FAA would allow
the local traffic lanes to be
built.
Reminded of Space
This is where the NCRPC
came in. After a vote in closed
session it delivered a note to
the FAA late last week urging
it not to turn the road over
to the park service, and gave,
in effect. a polite reminder
that FAA had acquired the
extra right of way for local
traffic lanes. The latter was
done by "reaffirming" the
FAA's 13-point policy state
ment on the access road.
This statement, given to the
council by FAA in 1859 when
it sought the councils favorable
recommendation for the project
to the Budget Bureau, was in
cluded in the minutes Of the
meeting at which the favorable
recommendation was voted, a
council spokesman said.
One of the 10 points (the one
which the council in its discus
sion last week indicated it felt
FAA was breaking faith on)
contained this language:
Ultimately, an additional
four lanes can be added, two
lanes on each side of the ex-
press lanes to provide a
limited access highway for the
local areas traversed by the
access highway route"
FAA Administrator N. E. Hal
ably said last June 2 that "if
Virginia came forward with
vigor, I'm sure the Government
would have a generous re-
spouse" in turning over the
extra right CT way for the local
traffic lanes.
Asked about the 1859 policy
statement and the adminiStra-
tors remarks. an FAA sLokes-
man yesterday said the agency
was not committed" to turning
over the land. Although the
agency has many things to

Airport Access Dispute Flares Again
BY DAN GOTTLIEB
Star Staff Writer

A dispute over the use of
right-of-way along the Dulles
Airport access road has flared
up again.
Involved are the Federal
Aviation Agency versus Fairfax
County and Northern Virginia
interests. Bringing the issue
into the open, the National
Capital Regional Planning
Council late last week sided,
in effect. with the county in
the two-year-old dispute.
The county's position, broadly
stated, is that the right-of-way
along the express airport road
must be used for local traffic,
since the express lanes are re-
served for airport traffic.
Building of extra lanes for local
traffic is vital, county planners
say, if existing roads are not
to be overtaxed and major de-
velopmentS not impeded.
The Northern Virginia Plan
ming Commission is scheduled
to take up the issue at its
March 20 meeting and will con-
slider taking the same type of
action NCRPC did, a commits
sion spokesman said.
When the FAA purchased
right-of-way for the airport
road, it acquired sufficient land
to allow construction of four
local traffic lanes, two on each
side of the four-lane express
airport road. The dispute is
over the question of whether
FAA has an obligation to turn
over the extra right-of-way for
the local traffic lanes. The
chief need for these lanes is to
handle Fairfax Washington
commuter traffic, county Off
Gals say.
The county has been saying
that FAA does have an obliga-

HEADACHE FOR SUSPECT
Beauty Por|or Bandit
Gets Scalp Treatment

Here is what happened when
a man was silly enough to go
to a beauty parlor:
James Walker Higgins, %.
ambled into the Vincent ct
Vincent beauty salon, on the
sixth floor at 511 Eleventh
street NV, yesterday after
noon. Police said he had a toy
gun in hand and a cliche as
an opener: This is a stickup."
At the same time, Nikki
Witty, administrative executive
to the owner, Vincent Gesu-
maria, walked through the
lowered doors of the shop,
after having deposited yeSter-
days receipts in a 7th floor
office.
There was this man, she
said, holding a gun in a paper
bag at the head of William
Elmore, %, the buildings ele-
vator operator.
Get moving-this is a stick
up" he said. according to Mrs.
Witty, who is S feet 2 inches in
stocking feet, blond and pert,
and used to lift weights.
Are you kidding?" she said.
mo, I'm not. Get the money!"
he ordered.
"Oh. you're crazy. TIL e
moneys been gone a long time
ago." responded Mrs. Witty
Six Mortified customers looked
on. and about Is others were
still under dryers and in various
stages of coiffure further back
in the shop
II was really scared" said
Mrs. Witty later. There he
was using Mr.. Elmore as a
shield and with a gun at his
head. / didn't know if it was
the real thing or not"
The holdup man, she said, or
dered the women to throw the
purses into a pile-settling for
that, she said, instead of the
days receipts.
You're not going to get
much out of that" she sassed
him.
She and the other women
walked to the rear of the shop
ON orders-and she noticed
that the holdup man and Mr..
Elmore had disappeared.
Il took off my shoe and ran
down the steps. In the lobby
the two were wrestling on the
floor" He had run downstairs
while Mr.. Elmore rode his ele-
vator down, she said.

consider as to what course it
will take" on what it will do
with the highway, the present
thinking (of FAA) is that it
would be better maintained" by
the park service, according to
Alan L. Dean, deputy adj
ministrator for administration.
This would only be done if an
authorizing bill now before
Congress passes. he emphasized
One OF the reasons for favoring
the park service, he said, is
that it would keep the road
"as an attractive parkway en-
try" from the airport to Wash
ington.
Denies Breaking Word
The communications from
the county supervisors and
NCRPC will be "thoughtfully
looked at" Mr.. Dean said. He
denied that ANY word was
broken" concerning the future
use of the extra right-of-way.
The whole development of
the area depends on access in
this corridor" declared R. w.
Grow, executive director of the
IFeirfax County Chamber of
Commerce. He noted there were
plans for a major development
.-Reston-a mixed residential,
commercial and industrial prof.
ect, on the former Sunset Hills
tract recently acquired by New
York developer Robert E. Simon.
Sees Population Pressure
R. H. Payne, chief planner
for the Fairfax County master
plan, said the projected de-
velopment in the areas around
the corridor-Specifically t h e
Herndon-R eston- Sanitary Dis
trict IA area - will overload
secondary roads leading to
Route 7 and Route 7 itself,
a two-lane, primary road.
This would create pressure
for scattered slow density de-
velopment. rather than the
growth of satellite communities
along the corridor, he said,
if the airport road right
of-way is not open to local
traffic. Population in the area,
now inhabited by less than
5000, could grow to an esti-
mated 40-45, 900 people by 1870,
he noted.

State School Board
Asks Fairfax Data
Mrs. GuIIeher
Concerned by
Untitled Units

A member of the Virginia
State Board of Education said
today she has been asked to
report to the board on the re-
cent school rediStricting in
Fairfax that is to leave new
high school empty, two new
high schools partially used and
six others overcrowded.
Mrs. Louise Galleher said she
told the board yesterday that
she was concerned about the
Fairfax situation. State Board
President Leonard Muse sug-
geSted at meeting in Rich
mond that she looked into it.
The Fairfax School Board,
under heavy pressure from
parents who did not want their
children assigned to new
schools, voted Tuesday to place
about 10000 students in six
older schools whose capacity
is less than 5000.
Parents had protested at
earlier hearings that a new
redistricting plan would divide
the community, disrupt student
bodieS and shift students about
unnecessarily.
But even if the plan were
acceptable, parents argued.
there was doubt that some of
the schools could open on time.
Meanwhile, protests contin-
ued to mount over the decision
as leaders of two more parent
teacher groups met to demand
that the county school board
reconsider.
Decision Delayed
The Fairfax board also was
asked to reconsider yesterday
by two school board members,
but Chairman Theodore Heriot
said he would delay his decision
for a few days to permit emo
tons ito settled down."
Mrs. Galleher said she had
told her colleagues on the
State Borad of Education about
the Fairfax plans.
They all expressed great
Wonderment that anyone could
have new schools and not use
them she said.
Though the board realized
we have no power to do any
thing about school buildings,
the president asked me to look
into it and inform the board
of what I found out" she said.
No formal action was taken,
however, she added.
Last night the Executive,
Committees of the Lee High
School and Falls Church High
School PTAs met to consider
action on the school board de-
cision.
Petition Prepared
At a meeting in Springfield
heads Of the Lee PTA prepared
petition asking the board to
reconsider its action. The petit
ton is to be circulated through
out the area served by the high
school.
