The starlings were bantering
as usual over who gets that
cornice Of Union Station when
the little lady from the Agri-
culture Department walked in
and was presented an orchid
corSage and a railroad spike.
Her left hand dropped about a
foot when she accepted the
heavy gold-painted spike.
Off to one side, Mrs. Margar-
ct Bowers g1ggled. The railroad
official who presided over the
spike presentation beamed.
And a small, plump woman,
wearing q Christmas corsage
and carrying a potted gerani-
UNI, shivered in the cool air.
It was q minor night to
remember, sort Of. The railroad
was honoring that dwindling
commodity, the commuter, and
had temporarily put aside
those sugarplum visions of flat
cars carrying crates and crates
and crates Of merchandise.

DR.. Georgian Adams, So, who
retired yesterday from Agricul-
ture after "a years service in
home economies, took the
ceremony in stride. After all,
was not this past December II

Agriculture?
For "a years DR.. Adams has
been that unique contribution
to America -on-the-move. AS q
commuter from her home IN
Baltimore, she stuck to the
railroad during the depres-
sion years when you could
always get a seat" to the con-
fuSing days Of World War Il
when you could never get q
seat"
And late yesterday, on her
last commuter trip home, Dr.
Adams had q seat and a fare

From Studies to Sleep

in the 1950s. Fairfax has been
seeking a form Of government
that would keep adjoining
cities and internal towns from
nibbling away tax-rich devel-
oped portions Of its land
through annexations.
The county also wants to
stop what its leaders have
dubbed "fragmentations"-
communities Incorporating as
cities or towns within the
county's borders.
The League Of Virginia
Counties, which is headed by
Fairfax Supervisor Stuart T.
DeBell, has recommended that
any county be allowed to adopt
urb q n-type government by
referendum.
Voters would be given the
opportunity to choose from
among several proposals, such
as whether supervisors would
be elected from districts, as Is
the case now, or on an at-large
basis.
Seeks Hurdle For Towns
The league also suggested
that a greater burden Of proof
in annexation cases be shifted
to the cities or towns seeking
county territory.
The urban county form,
which county leaders believe
was adopted by the State
legislature primarily for Fair
fax, has been ignored by the
county in the past because it
does not prohibit annexation.
should the proposed urban
county amendments be adopt
ed, 1t is believed the pressure
on Fairfax to adopt that form
Of government would increase.
New supervisors attending
yesterdays session, besides Mr.
Babson, were Joseph Alexand-
er, Stanford E. Paris, John l.
Beerman and Harriet Bradley

Dynamite
Linked With
Extortion Bid

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. % (AP)
The discovery Of four sticks
Of dynamite was linked yeSter-
day with evidence Of an extor-
ton attempt. The dynamite
was wired with blasting caps
and ready to go off.
State Trooper Reginald T.
Gibson found the dynamite on
Revel highway near the filling
station and home Of John w.
Leonard.
Earlier, Mr.. Leonard told
Anne Arundel County police
that he had received q tele-
phone call instructing him to
put $3.50 in an envelope and
place it In the mail box in
front Of his house.
Threat Issued
Mr.. Leonard said the anony-
nous caller threatened to
blow up your house and sta
ton"
County detectives instructed
Mr.. Leonard to fill an envelope
with cut up paper and place it
in the mail box. A stake out
was arranged, but when no one
showed up. police left the
scene.
A check about 2 am. re-
vealed that the envelope was
missing. Afterward, Mr.. Leo
nard received q second call in
which the same man said Mr..
Leonard was very foolish" for
not placing the money in the
mail box.
Found by Children
1t. Noble Collinson Of the
State Police said there was
enough dynamite to blow ur
four houses. 1t was repeatedly
discovered by children playing
in the area.
Demolition experts from Fl
Meade removed the blasting
caps.

Lame Duck Zoninqs

By CAROL GRFFEE
Star Staff Writer

star stan writer
Re7Onings by lame duck
supervisors have been chal-
lenged BY Frederick A. Babson,
IT.. one Of five newcomers on
Fairfax County's seven-mem-
Der board which takes office
Wednesday.
Mr.. Babson said yesterday he
viii ask the Fairfax-Falls
Church legislative delegation to
introduce and support q bill
that would, in effect, establish
q coming moratorium after
supervisor elections every four
years.
The bill would apply to
counties having the executive
form Of government and a
population density in excess of
500 persons per square mile.
Both are true Of Fairfax.
Mr.. BabSonis bill would
provide that amy action Of the
=. supervisors which would
have the effect Of changing the
coming classification Of any
land Cbetween election day and
December 81 :. shall be null
and void and Of no legal effect
whatever"
Spirit Endorsed
The spirit" Of Mr.. Babson's
proposal was Endorsed by three
Of his colleagues, John L.
Beerman. Harriet F. Bradley
and Joseph Alexander.
Mr.. Beerman, Mrs. Bradley
and Mr.. Babson have been
among the most outspoken
critics Of the outgoing boards
marathon sessions last week
during which several rezonings
were granted that conflicted
with an Upper Accotink land
use master plan previously
adopted in principle by the
board.
In a surprising move, Super
visor Robert C. Gotten, who
was defeated by Mr.. Babson,
also Endorsed his former oppo-
nent's proposal.
Mr.. Gotten, who voted for
almost all Of last weeks recon-
ings, said, I'm g lame duck,
but I see no objections to it
from a political or legal stand
point"
Legality questioned
Stanford E. Paris, the new
boards lone Republican, ques-
toned the legality Of the Bah
son proposal. He contended
that be refusing ito consider
rezonings during q set period Of
time, the supervisors would be
treading on property rights,
thus opening the door to court
suits.
II don't want the court to
rezone this county. -. I want
the Board of Supervisors to do
it, and I don't care whether
they're lame ducks or not
said Mr.. Paris, the supervisor
elect from Mason district. This
could be overcome by "defet-
ring" all rezonings, he added.
In other action at yesterdays
joint session between old and
new board members, the five
newcomers agreed to support q
proposal by Mr.. Alexander that
two-year terms for school
board members be established.
School board members now are
appointed by and serve at the
pleasure Of the supervisors.
Tells Of Request
County Executive Carlton c.
Massey told the supervisors
they should be aware that the
State Board Of Education has
recommended reductions to
Gov. Harrison in State ap-
| preparations to political subdi-
visions receiving Federal i'm
pacted area aid.
He pointed out that Fairfax
now receives over 81 million
annually in such funds. Under
the proposal, the county would
not receive less in State aid
than it is now getting, but
future appropriations would be
reduced by an amount equal to
tWo-thirds Of Federal monies

Cousins Urges
Test Ban Now

An immediate nuclear test
ban and gradual disarmament
under a world security system
were called for last night by
Norman Cousins, editor Of the
Saturday Review, in addressing
an assembly for the United
Nations.
Mr.. Cousins also called for
the fullest possible" develop
ment Of the United Nations to !
make the world safe from ag-
gression" and to give people q |
genuine sense of security.
II think that the small risk |
Of not detecting a small under
ground atomic test is not
nearly as great as the risk Of
a collision course brought on
by the weapons race" he said.
I'VE live in the first. period
in history in which force can
not create security" Mr.. Cous-
ins told about 800 leaders of
national organizations at a.
meeting of the American As
sociation for the United Ma
tions at the Mayflower Hotel.
Says Issue Is Prevention
Mr.. Cousins said he had no
doubt Of American second
strike" capability. "even after
80 million Americans were
killed"
But this is not the issue, y"
he said. The issue is how to
prevent those 80 million
deaths"
At present, he commented,
'the very existence Of the
power makes it necessary for
us to demonstrate that we are
not afraid Of his (Khru-
shchev's) power"
There must be something
wrong with the deterrent
theory" he added. Neither
side seems to be deferred by it."
"A test ban is necessary" he
said. Effective disarmament Is
necessary. But this is not
enough. The control over
weapons must be tied to the
creation Of a world security
system adequate TO take the
place Of the weapons.
THE main thrust must now
be In the direction of q United
Nations with adequate powers"
the ability to make and i'm
plement world law in the cause
Of world justice. he said.

BY the Associated Press

"A group OF House Republi-
cans says President Kennedy's
declaration that any nuclear
test ban treaty must insure
against secret underground
tests does not square with the
United States proposal pre-
sented to Russia at Geneva.
This inconsistency between
actual position and described
position is a great cause for
concern" Representative Hos
mer Of California said in a
statement issued today by the
q. o. p. Conference Commit
tee on Nuclear Testing.
Mr.. Hosmer, the committee
chairman, said a United States
offer made in Geneva August
27 and still available to the
Soviet Union proposes a treaty
banning all underground tests
whether or not cheating could
be detected and policed in the
low-yield ranges"
He pointed out that Kennedy
said the administration would
not accept q test ban which
did not give us every insurance
that we could detect a series of
tests underground"
Cites Acc Statement
Mr.. Hosmer said the Atomic
Energy Commission told a joint
congressional committee last
week that a whole series Of
tactical and strategic nuclear
weapons could be developed by
secret underground tests at low
yield levels that cannot be de-
tected by seismic devices.
Thus, the Kennedy offer is
wholly to Forgo United States
testing and advances in all such
weapons categories and simply
TO trust the SovietS to keep their
word not to test them and
develop them clandestinely un-
derground," Mr.. Hosmer said.
He said the August 81 offer
leaves "a large. unpoliced hole
a dangerous gap--in treaty BAN
ming of tests in the low-yield
area"

Senators, Dominick of Colorado

The YugosIov View

Nikita Khrushchevs two-week tour
of YugoSlavia has ended on an officially
happy note. He has said goodbye in Ian
guage warm enough to suggest that
Belgrade and Moscow are closer TO full
reconciliation than at any time since
President Tito'S sensational break with
Josef Stain in 1948.
But fundamental differences still
remain. Whatever may have been the
nature Of Premier Khrushchev's selling
job, Marshal Tito apparently has held
fast to the principles that have made
his dictatorial regime unique in the
Communist world-unique, that is, in
the sense Of being beholden neither to
Moscow nor Picking, which is his most
virulent critic
Naturally, in the teeth of Red China's
assaults on him, Marshal Tito has found
that he and Mr.. Khrushchev, fellow
Slav, have much in common. Still, de-
spite all the talks they have had over the
past fortnight, Dictator Tito has made
clear that he wants to dictate in his own
way, and so he continues to hold himself
aloof from both the Warsaw Pact and
the Moscow-directed Council for Mutual
Economic Assistance.
On the face Of things, therefore, there
is little reason to doubt that Tito'S
YugoSlavia is determined to be its own
master. This looks like quite genuine
thing, and Congress accordingly ought
to correct the mistake 1t made when 1t
decided, in a moment Of pique and I'M
wisdom, to deprive the Yugoslavs of

Labor Day rioting seems to have
established itself during the past few
years as national teen-age fad. True,
Ocean City authorities managed to keep
things under relative control this year
by establishing midnight curfew over

curfew with mere 1872 arrests. But

Groups Confused

Your news report on the
proposed plan for redistrict-
ing the State of Maryland
was comprehensive and ac-
curate except in one parti-
cular: the plan has origi-
mated with the Maryland Citi-
Zens Committee for Fair Con-
greSSional Redistricting, and
not the Maryland Committee
for Fair Representation.
The similarity of the two
committee names is a COM
mon cause for confusion,
but we have undertaken two
separate and distinct tasks.
The MCC for Fer is con-
cerned exclusively with dis
trictS for the purpose of elect
ing United States Represent
ativeS to the United States
Congress. whereas the Com
mittee for Fair Representa-
ton is concerned with
equalizing representation in
both houses Of the Maryland
General Assembly, which is
also a vital and worthwhile
objective.
The distinction is impor-
tant, for both committees
have undertaken fund-rais-
ing campaigns, and donors
should be aware of the pur-
pose to which their contri-
button will be applied.
