Senate Probers Fail 10 Find
Montgomery Vote Error

Senate investigators checking elec-
ton figures in the hotly contested
senatorial race between Gov.
O'Conor and Brig. Gen. D. John
Markey have found no irregularities
in the Montgomery County vote, it
was learned yesterday.
Gen. Markey, Republican, filed a
contest with the Senate after he
was defeated by 1882 votes, accord
ing to the official tally.
Ward w. Caddington, clerk to the
Montgomery County Board of Elec-
ton Supervisors said today the
investigators made practically no
change in the official county count.
He said a voting machine in a
Damascus district polling place had
been taped up instead of sealed but
that this was done by Republican
election official who was unable tc
insert the seal. Mr.. Caddington said
this was explained to the ,nvesti-
gators.

insisted. "They often gave to the
poor and never robbed the poor
only the rich"
The gang consisted of Ned and
Dan Kelly and two non-relatives.
Jim, who died recently, also took
to bushranging, the Australian term
for such outlawry, on occasion.
However, he was in Jail when his
brothers and their two cohorts were
most active.
Few gave the Kellys argument.
IF they heard the Kellys were
heading in one direction, the police
would head the opposite way" ac-
cording to DR.. Aitchison.
Despite the efficiency, good humor
and Robin Hood characteristics of
the Kellys, the police gathered their
forces in 1880 and removed the gang
from the Australian scene. In a
Glenrowan hotel, the four found
themselves cornered. Ned Kelly,
then 26, emerged to do battle. He
was wearing heavy armor made of
pillow moldboards. Ned was subdued
after a lusty battle. He later was
hanged in Melbourne. Dan and the
two others, Burns and Hart, held
out in the hotel and were burned
to death when it was fired. ....
DR.. Aitchison has lived in the
United States for more than 80
years. But he still remembers clearly
the tales of the Kellys heard from
his father as a youngster and the
stories of Ned's armor told by the
who made 1t.

saw an item last week reporting
Jim's death at 80. he recalled tales
of the gangs exploits told him by
his father
The Kellys were cattlemen who
ranged along the great Murray
River. Their troubles with the law
began when they took to "dufang,
or stealing cattle, DR.. Aitchison said
yesterday. They drove them across
the river In secret to avoid pay
ment OF duties which were assessed
at the time.
DR.. Aitchison said his father knew
Ned Kelly, the leader, well and
considered him a likeable sort. In
fact, the elder Aitchison told his
son of having exchanged horses
on one occasion when the outlaw
offered to "break" the formers un-
ruly steed.
The Kellys terriorized large areas
of Victoria and New South Wales
for two years, beginning In 1873.
Their methods were ef11cient Armed
with muzzle loading rifles, they
would storm into small town and
head for the police station. The
police department might consist of
but one constable. The Kelly's
rarely found more than two foot
patrolmen, one mounted man and
a sergeant. In any event, the de-
partment would be taken into
custoday by the Kellys, who then
might don police uniforms to add
to the fun.
Police and all persons on the

Plans Being Prepared
To Raise Capacity Of
7 New Fairfax Schools

Plans for doubling the capacity
Of the recently authorized Oak
Street School in West Falls Church
and adding eight additional class
rooms to the new Falls Church High
School are being prepared by Fair
fax County school officials. it was
learned yesterday.
Supt. of Schools w. T. Woodson
explained that because of increased
enrolment the original Oak Street
School plans have been redrawn to
provide IA classrooms instead of
seven. The building, which will cost
approximately $350,000, will include
an auditorium, principals offices,
clinic room, play room and a
library. The building will be con-
structed so that an addition can
be built later.
Mr.. Woodson said that the build
ing will be used by some of the
students now crowded into Madison
School, which has an enrolment
of almost 900.
Because of the inclusion of an
eighth grade class and increased
population in the area, 1t has been
necessary to add seven classrooms
and work shop to the high school.
These will be built as a wing to the
present building. Mr.. Woodson could
not say how soon the addition would
be built in view of the large con-
struction program the county now
has under way.
Mr.. Woodson also said work was
progressing satisfactorily on the new
colored school on Annandale road on
the outskirts of Falls Church.

Teacher Pay Raises
Came Year Too Late

was a year late.
DR.. Oscar LIE Beau, president OF

ton with the boards recent deci-
sion to grant the raises. The
amount of the raises has not been
made public.
Similar pay increases should
have been given last Christmas, Dr.
LIE Beau said. THE increase came
too late to avoid an unprecedented
teacher turnover at the end OF the
1856 school year"
A 100000 surplus in the school
fund for the fiscal year ending June
80 would have made the raises pos
sible, DR.. LIE Beau declared.
The teacher personnel turnover
is due to individual salary bargain.

schools, he added, the principal was
the only member of the faculty who

The public should be willing te
support additional pay for in

school bond issue, DR.. LIE Beau de-
clared.
"By erecting much-needed new
school buildings, principally with
bond issue money instead of money
derived from annual tax revenues
only, a larger proportion of the

In most of the homes, all the
Christmas presents were for the

while their husbands were in the
service, the nest egg the husbands
mad left in the bank when they went
away had all gone into $500 and
81 900 deposits.
Husbands Busy, Too.
But while the wives have been

have done what they could, too. At
