Gilman Robert v. New will,
try again this week to win ap-
proval for construction Of an

This time, he win offer a(set

board as incompatible and in

between colonial and modern

full attempt to satisfy the Old

The board suggested that he
submit a design that is "in

Mr.. New said the structure
will be similar to an office
building he admires in Cali

FAIRFAX THINKS
Police Getting Computers
By CAROL GRIFFEE

A recent influx Of signs that
read Think" has hailed the
arrival Of automatic data proc
eSsing in Fairfax County's Po-
Ice Department.
Since October 30, three for
midable machines have been
installed in Fairfax police
headquarters - an accounting
machine. a card puncher and
verifier. A sorting machine is
expected to arrive any day. All
are being leased from Interna-
4ional Business Machines.
These machines make Fair
lax the first police department
in suburban Washington to
possess its own complete auto
matte data processing systems
for statistical compilations.

personal touch of 1t. E. G.

When all systems are go" by
January ], these machines-in
O matter of minutes-will COM
pile reports on Fairfax arrests,
accidents and other offenSes.
Some Of these reports will go
to agencies such as the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation and
the washington Metropolitan
Council Of Governments.
The majority, however, will
remain in the Fairfax Police
Department to be analysed
with an eye toward increased
law enforcement efficiency and
effectiveness.
ADP is the answer 1t. Co.

for a method to relieve the
