plans to build a SIS 900 900 hotel and

candidates for the county board.
Edmund D. Campbell, county
board chairman and Democratic
nominee for reelection declared in
telegram to County Manager
Frank C. Hanrahan from Brevard
N. c.. that he is absolutely op-
posed" to the use of the tract for
the hospital purpose.
While I think Arlington should
cooperate with the Federal Govern
ment in making suitable land avail
able for q veterans hospital" Mr..
Campbell said, there are other
more appropriate tracts on high
ground. I suggest that Arlington
Hall, which is already owned by the
Government, would be ideal for the
purpose"
However, Daniel A. Duean, inde-
pendent candidate who was indorsed
by the county Republican party this
week, asserted financial considera-
tions should be put aside in the in
terests of anything which will bene-
fit the veterans.
County officials should he in q
position to know, he declared, that
Arlington Hall has been made a
permanent Signal Corps installation
and. consequently, would not be
available for location Of a hospital.
Meanwhile, Arlington real estate
records show that $1,163.15 taxes
are paid to the county on an as
sessed valuation Of approximately
$303, 900 on the property. The Vet
erans' Administration estimated the
land to be worth 81 per square foot,
while owners Of the site asserted
it would sell for $3.50.
Carroll M. Wright and E. L. Usil-
ton, two members of the County Re-
assessment Board, said the tract still
is under discussion in the current
revaluation of county property. The
said tentative figures are much in
excess OF the present assessment of
Approximately 4 cents per square

Offers Plan 10
Expand Schools
Report Asks Second
Senior High, Roise
In Teachers Puy

The Education Committee of the
Arlington Chamber of Commerce
yesterday made public a five-point
plan looking toward the improves
ment and expansion of the county
school system.
In 2,000-word report, the COM
mittee recommended the following:
/. improvement of the education-
al standards coupled with increase
in the pay OF teachers.
2. Immediate institution of post
war construction program, including
a second senior high school.
3. Purchase of new equipment.
4. Adequate" administrative space
in the Court House.
5. An overall plan for the COM
munity as whole to participate
both in working out constructive"
school system and in establishing
a plan for financing the expansion.
Crowding is Cited.
In recommending a second senior
high school. the committee stated
a student body not exceeding 1900
to $500 is considered by many pub
lie school administrators as the
maximum for efficient administra-
ton. educational supervision and
instruction. Washington-Lee High
School, the county's only senior high
school, now is estimated to have
double this attendance.
In providing adequate facilities,
m an til
resources should not "be squandered
in unnecessary educational expert
mentation and innovation beyond
the reasonable financial capacity Of
the community for public educa-
ton"
Recently. the Citizens Commit
tee for School Improvement has
started drive for signatures on
"a petition calling for a s2,225, 900
bond issue to provide expansion of
the school system to include kinder
gartens, full-day sessions in the
first and second grades and reduc-
ton of the teacher load from the
third through the sixth grades.
The chamber committee pref
aced its recommendations by COM
mending the school system for hav-
ing fulfilled its educational re-
sponsibilities to the people faith
fully and as efficiently as war con-
ditions would permit"
County System Ranks First.
The county system, it continued,
| ranks first among the counties of
Virginia and equals that of any
incorporated city within the Com
monwealth.'
Although enrolment increased
from 1904 in 1910 to 12,191 in 1945,
changes in teaching personnel
brought lowering of educational
requirements and the school plant
could not be maintained properly.
the report said the system did not
suffer irreparable damage or reach
degree of hopeless ineffciency"
During the 1940-45 period. the
report continued. school revenue in
creased from $719,827.74 to S1,275,-
41414, school site acreage from 863
to 106.1243, total property value
from S2,714,096.38 to $3,272, ,093.23,

merce Department employees and
their families scattered around the
Tidal Basin, rod in hand, in the

tournament.
An even larger turnout is expected
today, but Mr. Zuch said by next
year he hoped to have every Gov
ernment agency participating in the
contest.
I'VE want people standing 3 feet
apart sll around the Tidal Basin, y
he remarked.
Originally conceived as an an
nual outing for personnel of the
General Accounting Office by Sam
Krawitz and Paul o. Peters of that
agency, the first fishing contest
at the Tidal Basin was held Sep
tember %, 1915, which turned out
TO be a rainy day that discouraged
all but the hardest anglers from
competing.
Too Warm for Some.
Yesterday, however, sportsmen had
a warm summer sun to favor their
efforts-a little too warm for some,
who soon found shady spots in
which they could fish in greater
comfort.
1t was a family affair. with most
contestants bringing their wives and
children. either as kibitzers or as
competitors with rods and reels OF
their own.
