and parked next to her car as
she got out.
The man said nothing when
he knocked her down and
Dummeled her in the face with

1T is SMALL, 20 feet wide
and so feet long at the most.
1t must have been designed
for easy exits and entrances,
for there is a door on each
side. The upstairs floor has
eight windows which jut out
in half -dormer fashion from
the shingled roof with its
design of vari-colored slate.
Long vines of ivy have
grown over one side of a
wall, binding a window. A
thin facade of cement covers
the original brick.
On some corners the fac
ing has crumbled to reveal
the original brick and over
one door the outlines of an
archway is visible.
Crawling through a half
shattered doorway, one sees
that the inside thin walls
of undetermined age have
obliterated any feeling of
original charm. Looking at
the upstairs ceiling, there is
not even a clue as to where
the chimneys 60 or where
fireplaces are hiding behind
those walls.
An old coat hangs in one
room, along with a year-old
calendar. Cobwebs decorate
the stairs which lead to the
boarded-up second floor.
Standing there in after
noon grayness, leaning out
the deep-set windows, there
is a feeling of what it must
have been like long ago, and
a sudden hope that the old
house will be spared.

School Board to Report
Other Actions on Dodd

The Fairfax County School
Board, after reinStating Thorn
as G. Dodd as director of con-
struction, today faced an or
der from the Board of County
Supervisors to report by July
Is on what further action it
has taken in the case.
The supervisors also severely
criticized School Supt. Earl C.
Funderburk for what they de-
scribed as AN irresponsible,
vindictive statement" relating
to the firing of Mr.. Dodd.
Mr.. Funderburk. in forward
ing a county Civil Service Com
mission report recommending
that Mr.. Dodd be rehired, wrote
the school board that "the in
famous report" was lone of the
greatest pieces of skulduggery
and political chicanery it has
been my experience to know"
See Threat to System
The supervisors, who fire.
quently split along factional
lines. unanimously approved
yesterday a document express
ing the sense of the board on
the Funderburk letter. They
said:
Whether it was or was not
the intention of the superin-
tendent of schools that the
statement be published, the
board of supervisors is on notice
that an irresponsible, vindic-
tive statement which attacks
the integrity of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission has been made
by a Fairfax County employee
who occupies a position of great
Importance.
ITO permit this statement to
go unnoticed by the board could
we'll undermine the foundation
of the merit system"
After being fired without ad-
vance notice March 9, Mr.. Dodd
appealed to the County Civil
Service Commission. Suisse
quent hearings by the commits
sion were described in the
Funderburk letter as "a farce. "
The commission made three
broad recommendations to the
school board, including one that
Mr.. Dodd be reinstated with
back pay. After two secret
meetings this week, the school
board yielded to pressure from
the supervisors and yesterday
formally announced Mr.. Dodd's
reinstatement.
In the statement approved
yesterday, the supervisors said,
THE board has the utmost
confidence in the Civil Service
Commission. It's report to the
school board clearly reflects
that it carried out its duty and
responsibility to the full extent
permitted by existing ordi-
nanceS.

Board Backed Superintendent

me as chairman and Mrs. Jean
Butler as vice chairman"
On Monday, he added, the
school board with six members

Mr.. Funderburk. Mr.. Heriot

day. However, the rain made
it impossible to finish the job
then, he said.
Mr.. Braun said he believes
the paving should be finished
today. He said this work was
necessary because of the con-
Struction of the underpaSs un-
der Independence avenue which
connects the Southwest Free
way and the Twelfth street
tunnel under the Mall.
Mr.. Braun said truck traffic
on Independence had to be
shifted last week because a
portion of C street S.W. was
closed to permit construction
of another approach of the
Southwest Freeway to the
Twelfth street tunnel.
Trucks RerOuted
AS o result, he said, the
south bound truck traffic which
normally turns left on Mary
land avenue from independence
is now being routed about si2
blocks further west on Inde-
pendence to make the turn
south at Twelfth street, where
the paving work is under way.
MI. Braun estimated that II

truck traffic can again be sent
south on Maryland and into
the C street connection to
Fourteenth street.

Bureau of Traffic Engineering

were used as adjuncts of the

Anyway, things are in a
