Mrs. Winston put her gloves and
bag on the table, sat down in
a chair, a little forward in it,
squared her plump shoulders.
did you ever see such an ex-
hibition as Diane made of herself
tonight? I felt so sorry for Bills
mother. Though it ought to be for
Bill, he has to live with her! Her
boldness, in practically announc-
ing before Bill and everyone, that
she's starting an affair with that
Rufus Kent"
Diane had given Mrs. Winston
a high trump, and she played it
with satisfaction.
Page dropped her eyes to her
tightly locked hands. She did not
believe there was anything like
that between Rufus and Diane, in
spite of what Diane had said. Di'
ane had wanted, for some rea-
son of her own, to shock them
there at the table, or hurt Bill.
And Rufus wasn't that kind. 1t
would be loyal to deny it and at
the moment she longed, desperate
ly, to give Rufus, at least, loyalty.
But she did not speak.
Her mother read an advantage
in her silence. She went on in a
voice silky with approval. Il am
very grateful, Page, that you
haven't permitted him to pay you
serious attention! He's quite
impossible! I knew it the first
time I met him and now it's prov

no reason you should"

Mrs. Winston moved to where
Page sat on the divan, put her
arm over the girls shoulders.
Don't you think I know how you
felt about Bill? Even before you
did. It's like that with mothers.
I was so happy about it, ]
thought" Her hold tigntened.
And when I knew it couldn't be,
my heart ached for my sweet girl.
I prayed for you, dear child, that
you'd keep your head. And you
have. Any other girl would have
encouraged the first man she met!
I suppose that is why I worried
when that Kent man began COM
ing here SO often. Though l might
have known you'd see yourself
that he is quite beneath you!

about his family. The most he can
claim is a couple living on a farm

aunt and uncle. Ordinary farmers,

little boastful of the fact!"
Page drew away from her moth
er's hold. Eyes, he's told me. You
didn't need to ask him!"
"Your father and I certainly
have the right to know, Page, with
what sort of men you are going
out!"

wildly toward the door. 'I'm

MEMBERS of the newly
A'A formed Civic Association
of Airing t o n have en-
phatically challenged recent
statements concerning the
stand taken by Candidates
for the Arlington School
Board on recreation.
AS a matter of fact, atten-
ton has been called to a re-
cent report of Arlington
County schools conducted by
an unquestioned group of
experts in which the follow
ing specific findings were re-
ported:
The Physical Education
program of the elementary
and high schools is excep-
tionally well organized and
conducted. For several years
the County School Board has
employed q person as Super
visor of Physical Education
of Schools and as Director
of Recreation"
A further comment in this
report carried the following
commendation:
"The School Board deserves
the com m e n dation and
gratitude of, the citizens of
Arlington County for recog-
nizing the recreation needs,
particularly those of the
school age, and for organ
izing, financing and con-
Quoting a program that has
met these needs to a great
degree.

school facilities has been
especially effective and the
coordination of recreation
and school activities, par
ticularly physical education,
has been good, largely due
to the fact that the County
School Board has been the
administering agency OF the
program. The Supervisor OF
Physical Education OF
Schools has served also as
Director of Recreation, and
a considerable number OF
teachers have been en-
ployed as the play ground

It is heartening to observe
that interested citizens OF
Arlington have organized
the Civic Association OF

the best interests of Airing

Truman Comment
Promises Careful
Study Of Report

President Truman made the fol-
lowing statement today after receiv-
ing the reports of his Civil Rights
Committee.
"The Presidents Civil Rights
Committee has just submitted its
report. I am going to read and
study this report with great care
and I recommend to all my country
men that they do the same thing.
Il created this committee with a
feeling of urgency. No sooner were
we finished with the war than racial
and religious intolerance began to
appear and threaten the very things
we had just fought for.
I'm times past, when our Ameri-
can freedoms were threatened,
groups of our citizens banded to-
gether and set out on paper the
principles they felt would preserve
freedom and the kinds of action
that would defend freedom
THE Declaration of independence
was that kind of document and ]
notice that the title of this report
is taken from the Declaration OF
Independence. 1 hope this commit
tee has given us as broad docu-
ment as that-an American charter
of human freedom in our time
The need for such charter was
never greater than at this moment
Men of good will everywhere are
striving under great difficulties to
create a world wide moral order
firmly established in the life of ma
tions. For us here in America new
charter of human freedom will be 8
guide for action, and in the eyes oi
the world it will be a declaration OF
our renewed faith in the American
goal-the integrity of the individual
human being, sustained by the moral
consensus of the whole Nation, pro-
tected by Government based on
equal freedom under just laws.
THE members of this committee
are busy men and women. We all
owe them debt of gratitude. I feel
I am speaking for all Americans
when I thank them for their un-
selfish, devoted service"

Snyder Urges Budge'
Be Kept Balanced in
Marshall Plan Aid
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of Treasury Snyder
said today the United States
should keep its budget balanced
in providing any aid for Europe
under the Marshall self-help
recovery program.
Mr.. Snyder said that not only
would he like to see Congress pro-
vide revenues to cover any such aid
costs, but also allow enough margin
each year to apply something for re-
ducing the national debt.
For these reasons, the Treasury
Secretary said he is opposed to any
change in present taxes until Con-
gress decides how much aid can be
provided under the European recov-
cry plan suggested by Secretary of
State Marshall.
Mr.. Snyder told reporters that he
is not proposing that costs of the
plan necessarily be scaled down to
keep in within available budgetary
surpluses.
He said he wants revenue pro-
vided" to cover the cost of the aid
statement that could be inter-
preted to mean increasing tax reve-
nues if necessary, as well as cutting
down aid requests.
Aid Decisions to Be Made.
The 16 Western European nations
who would benefit from the Mar
shall plan have reported they will
need $22 400 100000 in aid for l948
through 1851. with the United States
supplying most of it. Aid require
ment for next year alone was set at
about $60OO,000,000.
Mr.. Snyder emphasized that he
meant a balanced budget for the
entire time the Marshall plan aid
Is furnished, and not just for the
current fiscal year in which the
Government is figuring on sur
plus of $4,667 100000.
Undersecretary of State Lovett
told his news conference, meanwhile,
that a series of major decisions
regarding Marshall plan aid will
be, made by early next week. Mr.
Lovett did not elaborate on what
these decisions may be or what
phase of the plan they may affect.
Secretary Marshalls return late
today from the United Nations
meeting in New York is expected
to speed these decisions, including
fixing the amount of aid Congress
may be expected to provide during
the next year.
Forsees Grants to Europe.
Mr.. Lovett said studies so far seem
to make clear that some of the goods
to be shipped to Europe, such as
food and consumer materials, will
have to be financed by grants in
aid, that is, given by the United
States to the European countries
involved. Other goods would be
sent on loan basis, including
long range construction materials,
such as steel.
Replying to question about
taxes, Mr.. Snyder said President
Truman will talk about taxes in
his message to the special session
of Congress November II.
Then he added quickly that his
reason for saying so is that Mr.. Tru-
man always does" talk about taxes.
Secretary Snyder added that he has
no inside dope" on what the Presi-

permitted to read asked if ''bigotry''
is the committees "yardstick of
Americanism and its definition Of

Mr. Ornitz, in his statement. also
declared that he felt that he faced
the committee ''in the first line of
the defense of our Constitution and
freedom. I must not fail-not for
one moment falter before the threat
,saof contempt, which word sounds
like the short way of saying no con-

An eight-page memorandum put
into the record on Mr.. Ornltz car

afront Affiliations. The memorandum
.stated there was no evidence OF an
open admission of Communist Party

clerk to file a petition for redress

panied by Representative Holi1eld,

Schools in Arlington
Rated as Efficient
In. Educators Report

The administration of public
schools in Arlington County was de-
scribed as efficient" and the county
was congratulated for its education
system by special committee whose
report was made public yesterday.
The committee consisted of DR..
William r. Smithey, professor of
secondary education at the Univer-
sity of Virginia. and DR.. E. D. Griz-
zell, professor of secondary education
at the University of PENNSYLVANIA
Their surveys were made on four
different days in September and
October.
William Montgomery Smith, chair
man of the School Board, said the
authority of DR.. Smithey and DR..
Grizzell emphasized the Importance
in value of the report. Arlington
public schools have been under at
tack in the current political cam
paign.
The educators report said the
present general organization of the
Arlington system is in accord with
the best modern practice, that ade-
quate provision has been made or is
planned for buildings, equipment
and recreational facilities, and that
morale of both pupils and teachers
is high.
The committee is Of the opinion" i"
the report stated, that the present
rapid growth in population in the
county drawn from almost every
State in the Union demands that
the present public relations program
be enlarged in order that the many
diverse elements be unified into a
strong cooperative unit. The fact
that the school authorities are aware
of this need is evidenced by the
contemplated extension of the edu-
cational program for older youth

DELAWARE FARM FRONT

An electric fence can be used to
an advantage at this time of year on
many Delaware farms, says Jack f.
Bell, agricultural engineer for the
Delaware Agriculture Extension
Service.
Such a fence can be set up and
removed from around temporary
pasture areas with a limited amount
of time. Not only is there a saving
in time and labor but also savings
in fencing material.
One wire is sufficient to hold back
cows and horses. A second wire
close to the ground should be used
for hogs and young calves.
Economists of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture estimate that
this years apple crop will fall
about per cent below the average.
Due to late frost damage, apple
production in Delaware is expected
TO be i'm the neighbOrhOOd of $780,
900 bushels or considerably less
than half of average.
Many of Delaware's early apples
were reduced in grade and high
percentage of the late crop is also
expected to be reduced to the COM
mercial grade because of frost rus
set.
Delaware's peach croD this veal
will also fall below half the aver
age production because of early
season damage. The bulk of The
crop is expected to he harvested be
