Foirfox Acts to Solve
Garbage Pickup Woes

The Fairfax County Board
of Supervisors acted last night
after hearing Springfield's gar
bage collection complaints.
In a decision that at least
one Springfield resident hailed
as a victory for private enter
prise over government control
the board voted unanimously
to give citizens of the COM
munity what they apparently
want - trash collections twice
weekly by a privately owned
company as opposed to once
weekly pickups by the county
The supervisors called the
public hearing after a num-
Der of Springfield residents
dumped their problems on the
board. The citizens suggested
in dozens of letters and phone
calls that there was some
thing smelly about garbage
collections in their community
The private trash collectors
who were supposed to be do
ing their job twice-weekly had
not been seen in some quar-
tiers for several weeks, the citi-
zens complained.

GEORGETOWN, British Cui-

Guiana's Premier, DR.. Cheddi
Jagan, acknowledges he coulc
be described as a Communist
He says he believes in the
Communist creed Of each &C
cording to his ability; each &C.
cording to his needs"
DR.. Jagan was giving evil
dence yesterday before a COM
mission inquiring into the riots
that ravaged Georgetown Feb
ruary l6.
Cross examined by Lionel
Luckhoo, Queens counsel, DR.
Jagan also said he was an
admirer of Soviet Premier
Khrushchev and Cuba'S Fidel
Castro and had, on more than
one occasion, expressed his ap-
proval for communism.
The Premier said this did
not necessarily mean he in
tended to introduce Castro-type
policies in British Guiana. He
added, however, that while he
favored many of Premier Cas-
tro's policies, he could not re-
call any he was against.
Mr.. Luckhoo said the Los
Angeles Times had described
DR.. Jagan as one of the worlds
top ten Communists. Asked il
he was embarrassed by the
description, DR.. Jagan replied
he was neither hurt nor flat
tered.
The PRIMER blamed the Feb
ruary Is riots on people "whc
had failed to secure political
power by constitutional means;
people who constantly lost elec-
tons and people who would like
to be in the position we (the
