Since some committee mem
ers favored election-at-large
for council members, a COM
promise was reached in which
the group will recommend that
election-at-large be a separate
question on the ballot when
and If the charter goes to

| Council members would
receive $4,000 annually but
would not have to be full time
representatives.
With council approval. the
mayor would have the power to
appoint and remove a chief
administrator and other off,
cials such as planning commits
sion members, a city attorney
and school board members.
Some of the power originally
proposed for the mayor was
taken away Friday when COM
mittee members agreed that

traitor.
In the proposed charter, the
council would regain the right
to appoint members Of the
Board of Zoning Appeals. This
is a power local governing
bodies lost to the courts two
years ago.
Voter Action Needed
Should the General Assembly
vote its approval of the char
ter, it could not go into effect
until majority of voters had
sanctioned the change IN a
referendum. Voters also would
be given the opportunity to
ballot on a name for the new
city.

its effort to resent a proposed

will remain as towns with

they now possess.
However, since one Of tbs
key jobs Of the committee wa
to work out a form of govern.
ment that would protect the
county's territorial integrity
the charter strips towns OF
their annexation powers.
Constant Battle
Since urbanization of Fairfax
began in the 1950s, the county
has fought cities and towns to
prevent annexation of its
developed sections.
Under Virginia laws, cities
are immune to annexation and
to augmentation by the incor-
poration of communities within
their boundaries. Fairfax
sought a city charter from the
1852 General Assembly without
success.
Principal opponents of this
charter were the towns OF
Vienna and Herndon which
feared they would be "swal-
lowed up"
Mayor Proposed
The 1862 charter did not
propose a mayor. However, the
new charter proposal, thrashed
out by nine of the committees
"a members at a hastily called
meeting Friday night. proposed
that a full-time mayor be
elected at large for four-year
terms at a $4,000 annual
salary.
Under Virginia's general law,
the mayor could not vote but
would possess a veto which
could be overridden by a two
thirds vote of the council.
In the first years Of its
operation, the city would have
a seven-member council which
could be expanded to II or
decreased to five.
Council members would be
elected by voters in the wards
in which they live much as the
county's seven supervisors are
elected by magisterial districts.

Conviction
ForMurder
Affirmed

The United States Court OF
Appeals has affirmed the Sec
ond degree murder conviction
and 10-year to life sentence Of
Conner Blocker who previously
was convicted twice of first de-
gree murder and sentenced to
die.
Chief Judge David A. Baze-
lon, who wrote the decision, re-
jected Blocker's contentious
that there were errors in the
jury instructions on the insan-
ity defense.
However, Judge Bazelon took
the occasion to bury, once and
for all, the traditional right
and wrong" sanity test which,
known as McNaughton's Rule,
was supplanted by the Durham
Rule formulated by Judge
Bazelon in 1854.
The Durham rule holds a de-
PENDANT can be found not guilty
by reason of insanity If he has
q mental disease or defect and
II the crime was q product OF
the disease or defect.
During Blocher's last trial,
the judge told the jury "in con-
sidering the defense Of insan-
ity. you have q right to con-
slider whether he knew the
difference between right and
wrong. :"
Judge Bazelon said that the
right and wrong test is a single
edged sword that may only be
used by the defendant and not
by the government.
Judge Bazelon said that a
jury may find that an inability
to distinguish between right
and wrong may be sufficient
to prove the crime was a prod
uct Of mental disease.
However. he said, an ability
to distinguish between right
and wrong does not over-rule
other evidence proving the
disease produced the crime.
Blocker was first convicted
In 1857 for the Staying Of his
common law wife, Frances Hall
in ner apartment in the 1900
block Of Seventeenth street
NV. His conviction was re-
versed by the appellate court
to permit new medical evidence
into the trial. He was tried and
convicted again but again the
Court of Appeals reversed.

SuccessSpofty
For Clinics
Health Films

The pioneering project to try
to present educational health
films via TV to persons waiting
in hospital clinics was not a
complete success, one Of its
major organizers concluded to-
day.
Mrs. Herbert A. Spalding said
the experiment conducted dur
ing May did prove that the
program could succeed under
certain conditions.
At Freedmen's Hospital, she
reported, the program met with
unqualified enthusiasm and
success.
But at the several other hos
pitfalls participating, TV recep-
ton of the films from WETA-
TV was poor, she said.
Besides q need Tor clearer
TV pictures, the experiment
also showed that the waiting
rooms must be specially ar
ranged to assure that the TV
noise does not interfere with
work or with the paging of
patients when their time has
come for treatment.
There also should be an area,
Mrs. Spalding said, where per-
sons who don't wish to watch
may go and talk or read with
out disturbing others or being
disturbed.
Mrs. Spalding, who organized
the experiment as a member of
the Child Welfare Society of
Children's Hospital, also found
that the number of educational
health films available locally
were few and not of high caliber.
