and one for Culpeper County and
the town of Culpeper was approved
today in an executive order issued

Hundreds of school children gave
pennies, and they had Nancy

papers took it up and before Miss
Vance died yesterday there was
$4,000 in the fund for which she had
only hoped to get 5000.
She even asked before her death
that donations to her fund be sub

but there probably will be flowers

French Wor-GuiEt Trial
Judicial Comedy Says Cot
Former Air Minister,
Sixth Defendant, Busy
On Research Job Here

The French war guilt trial, be-
ginning today at Riom, is nothing
but judicial comedy" whose pur-
pose Is to put the blame for the
German defeat Of France on the
political adversaries OF the Vichy
government, it was charged here
yesterday by one of the men blamed
for Frances fall.
The statement came from Pierre
Cot, the sixth defendant, who is
living in Maryland suburb Of
Washington. M. Cot, Minister of
Air in the cabinet of former Premier
Leon Blum, Is one of those blamed
by Vichy for the defeat of France.
TT is political trial." scoffed M.
Cot, lean, youngish man with the
air of a scholar. He was a pro-
fessor in a French law school and
he has lectured at Yale University.
He is now doing research work in
the Library of Congress.
Recalls Dreyfus Case.
The Riom trial will be held partly
in secret, he said, adding: What
is more important, Marshal Petain,
three months ago, interfered in
the business of the court. declared
we were culprits and sentenced us
to perpetual imprisonment"
After this decision" he went on,
"you cannot expect the judges to be
free. They are obliged to adopt
the point of view of Marshal Petain.
Even in Germany at the time
of the fire in the Reichstag, Hitler
left more freedom to the court.
If you want to appreciate the JUS
tice of Petain and Darlan, remem-
ber the Dreyfus easel"
Proud Of Some Accusations.
M. Cot said he was proud of Ger
tain accusations they have made
against him. They charge me
with having delivered ornaments
and planes to the Spanish repub-
lie. OF course, I did it," he said.
II only regret not to have been able
to send them more"
He said he was charged with
leading Parliament to believe when
he was Air Minister in 1886 and
1887 that the security of France
was assured.

sideration of our agreement not

A public meeting to consider fur
,ther the proposal to merge the Falls
Church school district with the
county setup will be sponsored by
the Falls Church Parent-Teacher

Mrs. Lee Park, president of the

have been developed supporting

action must be taken If the question
is to come before the General As
sepoly this session.
New Resolutions Wanted.
Mrs. Park said Delegate Robert

is unwilling to introduce a bill in
the Assembly abolishing the Falls
Church school district until he has
new resolutions from the county
and town school boards, the county
supervisors and Falls Church Town
Council.
Previously the groups had tenta-
lively agreed on merger of the sys-
TENS, but as possibility grew that
Falls Church might attempt to an
mex additional territory, thus becom-
ing city of the second class, con-
siderable opposition was voiced in
the town against doing away with
the local school district.
Budget Being Drafted.
Another matter pressing town off,
cials is the fact that the county
School Board is now preparing its
budget for the coming fiscal year,
and it is understood provision will
be made in the budget for a new
