BOARD
School Fight Reaches Climax
as Citizens Urge Teachers
Be Renamed for New Season

Disruption of the entire mu
nicipal organization of the town
of Falls Church looms as a posi-.
bility today when a special com
mittee representing the three citi.
zens associations of Falls Church
presents its ultimatum, drawn up
at a mass meeting Monday night,
to the local school board.
The committee will demand
that the board reappoint two
teachers, Miss Alice Williams and
Miss Mary Upson, for next term.
The board failed to reappoint
them at its regular meeting last
week.
Election Threatened
In the event that the board
fails to heed the petition of
the committee, the designations
of all members of the board
will be asked, members of the
committee stating today that if
the board members fail to re.
sign as requested, an election Of
a new council will be called for,
which will result in the auto.
matte termination of the board
members terms.
The two teachers have been
teaching at the Madison Scnool
for the past two years, and their
instruction has been termed "en1i.
nently superior" by more than
80 per cent of the residents of
Falls Church
The failure of Miss Nancy Ed,
wards, principal of the school, to
recommend their reappointment
and the failure of the school
board to appoint them for next
term came as a complete surprise
and shock to residents of the
town and to pupils in the school.
No reason for their action has
been advanced by the board, and
repeated efforts of citizens to Sc
cure the reappointment Of the
teachers have met with no re-
sponse from the board.

.NEl'E?!S
Leaders in County May Divide
in Separate Groups; Victory
for Democrats in the Wind

An open break in the ranks Of
the Republican organization in
Arlington county may be caused
by the filing of a suit for 100000
against six leaders of the Organ
ized Women Voters of the county
by the Arlington Investment Com
pany. it was indicated today.
Such a split. with an election
Just around the corner, probably
would destroy any chance for a
Republican victory. Until now.
the Republicans, strongly united,
seemed to have a good chance Of
electing their slate of officers.
Impeachment Tried
The suit grew out of an at
tempt on the part of the Organized
Women Voters to impeach Super
visor B. M. Hedrick, who, at the
time he was serving on the county
board was also a member Of the
board of advisors and manager
of the Arlington Investment Com
pany, owners of the subdivision
known as WaycrOft.
The impeachment charges grew
out of alleged irregularities on the
part of Mr.. Hedrick as a supervi-
sor. in installing watermainS IN
the Waycroft subdivision.
Case Dismissed
The charges were dismissed by
Judge Alexander Browning after
q long court battle, although IN
handing down his decision he
stated that he believed there were
irregularities, but not so great as
to amount to criminal misuse OF
vounty monies. The suit alleges
damages to the company as re
suit of this action.
While the Organized Women
Voters draw no party lines, 1t is
generally understood that most
of Its members are Of Republican
leanings, while Mr.. Hedrick has
announced his candidacy for
county judgeship, subject to the
Republican convention. Both
groups command large followingS.
Two Groups Certain E
For a time it was believed that
the difficulties of last spring, re-
suIting in the Impeachment pro
ceedings being brought, would be
smOOthed over and the two groups
allied in their efforts to elect .
Republican slate in the county.
The new outbreak, however,
probably will result in a definite
and final split in the two groups
Of the Republican party, with a
resulting Democratic victory at
the polls in November. o.

 create those jobs for us and our children, the Forest Service is

Also to turn the entire pro- fits over to sixteen nonresident owned pulp and paper corpora- : tions. If you take the time to study the articles and vision condition as they will be when the program is carried through, you cannot help but see the enormity of the betrayal of A mericanism. We did not become the greatest Nation on the face .of the earth as a nation of wage workers. We have not been proud of our country and it's traditions because we have been allowed to rent a piece of land. How will cur children feel toward our country under conditions being foisted upon it merely through a lack of opposition on our part?
 If on the other hand, we in vite 125,O00 men here to take up land, what would be the re- suits?

Probably 75 per cent of the first takers would be absolutely unfftted to cope with conditions. Of one thing only I am certain. Our precious timber would receive very little hurt. The unfit would leave. Either selling their hold ings CT abandoning them. Their places filled by other men more fit. Our more determined settlers would at once introduce modern forest practice. a thing which the Forest Service has so far refused to do here They would cut few of their best trees
