18th Precinct
ReSerVeCited
For Services

The 106 members of the
Fourteenth Precinct Metropoli-
tan Police Reserve Corps were
honored last night for 10 years
of volunteer service to their
Southeast Northeast commu-
nifty.
During ceremonies at the
fourteenth precinct, the reserve
policemen were presented a
plaque by Democratic Precinct
SE-78 for their service.
The Democratic voting unit
sponsored the award and the
ceremony, which was attended
by District Commissioners
Walter N. Tobriner and John
B. Duncan and top officials of
the Metropolitan Police De-
partment.
The fourteenth precinct re-
servists were organized in Sep
TENDER. 1850. to assist regular
policemen In the community.
Today. the reserve corps has
l06 volunteer members, includ-
ing SO privates, eight sergeants
and two lieutenants.
Under the direction of 1t.
Roland s. Fletcher and 1t.
John w. Buchanan, the reserve
policemen assist with traffic
control at public gatherings
and maintain surveillances
aimed at preventing crime.
Two Of the major assign
ments performed by the aux
iliary policemen are the sur
veillance Of fire boxes to pre-
vent false alarms and the
patrolling Of public school
grounds to prevent vandalism.
From January. 1860. to the
first month Of this year, the
lO6 reservists volunteered
35,975 man hours Of their time
to police duties within the
precinct.
Metropolitan police reservists
receive no pay for their work
and purchase their uniforms at
their own expense.
Since the fourteenth pre-
cinct has the largest and most
active reserve corps in the city,
residents Of the community last
night formed a committee TO
solicit funds for the purchase
OF uniforms.

also would permit the school
board to invest the money ap-
propriated for compensation
unless there were outstanding
claims.
Mr.. Hoofnagle asked about
the financial resources of Loss
Control Management Corp. The
insurance agent said that it
was capitalized at $4,000, of
which $4,000 was in liquid
assets.
He estimated that his firm
would need more than $4,000
for the salaries and costs of
its service to the county the
first year. The contract the
supervisors accepted runs 81
months, or until July /, 1865,
but there is an option to cancel
after nine months, he said.
Action Deferred
The board deferred action
on Mr.. Sleeper's proposal until
August %.
In other business, School
Board Chairman Eugene L.
Newman sent q letter for the
board to Francis Keppel, United
States Commissioner Of Educa-
ton, in response to a letter
from President Kennedy asking
the school board to outline
progress made by the school
system to correct the dropout
problem.
Mr.. Newman outlined four
points:
/. There has been no vestiee
OF inequality In education;
2. More guidance and coun-
selling services have been pro-
vided;
8. Vocational training will
increase eight-fold In Septem-
Der;
4. Night school courses lead
ing to a degree will be offered

vote, tabled any further dis
cussion Of placing carpets in

A proposal that Fairfax
County schools adopt a self
insurance plan similar to one
accepted by the supervisors for
other county departments,
brought questions about pos
sible conflict-of-interest from
school board members last
night.
The self-insurance plan was
recommended by Richard c.
Sleeper Of Baltimore, owner Of
the Insurance Buyers Council,
the county's consulting firm.
Last month the supervisors
adopted a self-insurance plan
recommended by Mr.. Sleeper.
They then hired the Loss Con-
troll Management Corp. to
handle the funding. Mr.. Sleep
err is chairman Of the board
of this new corporation.
After Mr.. Sleeper had rec
commended the self-insurance
plan and urged that his new
firm be hired to service it, Will
liam S. Hoofnagle, board mem
Der, said he feared the insur-
ance man would be wearing
two hats"-as both insurance
service agent and conSultant.
Sleeper Sees No Conflict
Mr.. Sleeper acknowledged
the board might question his
dual role, but said he could
handle it properly. He later
told reporters that he felt there
was no conflict Of interest be-
cause "our job Gas insurance
consultants) is to advise on
risks"
He said the supervisors
raised no such questions last
month.
Asked by Mr.. Hoofnagle why
he had established the Loss
Control Management Corp, Mr..
Sleeper replied:
I'VE felt that in order to
keep as much independence as
possible, it would be better to
set UP a separate corporation. "
Earlier the insurance con-
sultant had argued that an
outside organization to service
the claims would be the best
administrator because it would
avoid having one county en-
ploye decide whether the claim
of another employee was valid.
Three CategOries Adopted
The plan adopted by the
supervisors last month included
workmen's compensation, gen.
eral liability and auto liability.
A program Of general and auto
liability was simultaneously &C
cepted for volunteer firemen.
Mr.. Sleeper recommended
last night that the school board
accept a plan covering only
workmen's compensation. 1t

The commission recon-
mended that the County Board

require Vepco to justify its re-
turn "of more than z per cent"

Some Minor Reductions
The report noted that minor

been made in Vepco's rates
since the 1858 sec decision
which held that a proper rate
Of return for Vepco should be
about 6 per cent.
Despite the rate decreases,
the Arlington body reported,
an examination of Vepco earn
ings and rate of return has
shown "a steady climb upward
from 6 per cent" to a z per

The fund will provide $780,

Mrs. Fine stated she felt a
scholarship fund was an
especially appropriate tribute
to the memory of John F.

endeavors to broaden mans
Intellectual, scientific and

Since free secondary edu-
cation is not provided in
Israel. Pioneer Women's
