The door may be opened fol
an eventual merger Of Fairfax
City and Fairfax County into
one 411-mile-square city If the
1864 Virginia General Assembly
adopts a proposed amendment
to the State consolidation law.
That amendment would
allow a county to consolidate
with q city or town located
within its borders as one city.
The consolidation amend
ment Is being proposed and
backed by the 96-member
League Of Virginia Counties.
This group also is recon-
mending several changes in the
States urban county form Of
government and in its annexa-
ton laws.
Board Studies Proposal
The five new members of
Fairfax County's Board Of
Supervisors decided Friday
that they would study the
leagues proposals with an eye
towards supporting them in the
Generla Assembly, which con-
venes January 8.
In 1861, Fairfax County,
harrassed by annexation suits
from Alexandria and Falls
Church, reached an agreement
with Clifton, the smallest Of 1t,
three towns, that the two
would merge into a city Il
voters approved the move In 9
referendum.
Fairfax Circuit Court Judge
Paul E. Brown set a referen-
dunn date. However, he with
drew 1t five days before voters
we're to go to the polls because
an attorney for the town of
Herndon had argued success
fully in a court suit that State
law permitted only mergers of
counties and towns or cities
which are adjacent or adjoin
each other.
However, the abortive consol-
idation movement spurred the
town Of Fairfax into becoming
a city to save its identity
Present State laws do not allow
towns to exist within cities.
AS q result, Fairfax County
now has a six-Square-mile
municipality in its geographic
center, which poses legal
doubts as to whether the coun-
ty ever could achieve city
status since it would mean 9
city existing within a city.
The leagues proposed amend
ment would allow the county
and city to merge and probably
retain the name Of Fairfax
but such a move hinges on many
ifs"

An explosion apparently

five men were severely burned.
They were hospitalized in
Staunton. about five miles

The explosion and fire

One early estimate placed
damages at $25,000, partially
covered by insurance. State

Capital St. Louis Firms
To Design Air Museum

The Washington architectu-
raj firm of Mills, Petticord and
Mills, of 1903 Fourteenth st.
NV, and the st. Louis firm Of
Hellmuth, Obata and Kassab-
laum have been selected for
the design work.
The architectural work Is
expected to take around two
years.
A Genral Services official
said the firms were expected to
develop a modernistic architec-
tural design, similar in general
scope to the new Museum of
History and Technology which
is nearly finished at ConStitu-
ton avenue and Fourteenth
street NV.
The Congressional appropria-
tions committees this year
voted the first bite Of money
for design work. The Smith
Sonian Institution is expected
to ask for an additional $l.1
million in its budget for the
next fiscal year for completion
of designs. and may ask fol
some construction funds.

Contracts for $511,000 worth
Of architectural and engineer
ing design work for the Nation

awarded to Washington and St,
Louis firms.
The General Services Admin
istration and the Smithsonian
Institution have awarded the
contracts as a first step In
building a three-block long
modernistic aviation and space
museum.
Congress In 1858 authorized
the museum on ground now
occupied by four World War ]
and II tempos, between Inde-
pendence avenue. Fourth and
Seventh streets, and Jefferson
Drive on The Mall.
While detailed cost estimates
are not available, the complet-
ed museum is expected to cost
around $38 million. Tentative
estimates for completion are ir
two to five years.
The General Services admin
istration has no plans at this
time for replacement quarters
for the agencies in the four ole
tempos, but it will have to be
able to relocated them before
construction starts.
In effect, the new museum
will be a double gain for Wash.

Assembly May Decide
Meroer of Foirfoxes

! The country and the city
doubtless would have to strike
a more amiable relationship
than that which has existed
since 1861. Squabbles over
schools, sewer and water servi-
ces and coming have broken out
periodically between the two
| Jurisdictions.
And even with the amend
ment on the botoks. Fairfax
County would have to choose
to seek city status via the
consolidation route again
Most Of the supervisors have
exhibited little enthusiasm for
such status by any means at
this time.
Instead, they will look hard
at the proposed urban county
amendments, one Of which
provides that the supervisors
themselves could serve as a
charter commission or appoint
such a group to draw up an
urban county charter.
In making UP a charter, the
commission could draw upon
numerous options afforded by
the States urban county gov
eminent law.
Referendum Necessary
County voters then would be
asked in a referendum II they
wanted Fairfax to become ar
urban county and, II so, wheth'
er they preferred the count!
executive or county manager
form of that government.
Among new options proposed
by the league are some dealing
with how supervisors can bt
elected. They are:
/. Election Of q supervisor by
voters Of the district in which
he lives, which Is the current
practice.
2. A supervisor from each
district elected by the county
at large.
8. Maintaining the present
practice but, In addition, elect.
ing a chairman by the county
at large.
4. BY having all county
voters choose supervisors with
out regard to the districts IL
which they live.
An amended urban count!
form also would provide TO
separate taxing districts s'
that services being received b.
some residents would not b
payed for by all county cit
liens.
Also, urban counties coul,

DAVID LAWRENCE

Questions are being asked
BY people on every side here
and abroad as to what the
effect viii be on public policy
as a consequence Of the
change Of administration:
What kind Of President viii
Lyndon Johnson make?
What policies Of the Kenne-
dy administration will he
maintain or alter or aban-
don? What will be the eff
feet in the field Of foreign
policy and on the attitude Of
governments abroad toward
the United States2 What be-
comes Of the Republican case
and the contest for the NOM
nation, especially as it af-
fects MeSSrs. Goldwater,
Rockefeller and Nixon?
What will be the impact on
American business a md on
chances for a recession or a
boom?
The asking of these ques-
tons Is evidence Of the COM
plete involvement Of Ameri-
can policy in the life Of q
single leader. Here are some
answers that seem logical:
l. National Politics: Presi-
dent johnson will follow the
practice of those Presidents
who have come into the Of
flee during a term for which
a deceased predecessor had
been elected. The new Presi-
dent always feels committed
to carry on existing policies
and to retain the Cabinet.
Notifications viii come as
changing circumstances may
require. But Mr.. Johnson's
campaign for the nomination
must be made in the next
eight m onths before the
Democratic National con-
yention meets and must in
evitably be based on a cham
pioning Of Kennedy policies
and principles at home and
aboard. Mr.. Johnson will
doubtless be nominated and
stands a good chance of
being elected.
2. Foreign Policy: It will
not change perceptibly. The
same advisers and personnel
who counselled Mr.. Kennedy
will, in the main, be ct Presi-
dent Johnson's side. There
may be some changes in the
formula of negotiation-per-
haps a greater reliance on
