so, whether the school board should
be elected by the County Board (the

Present School Board
In Arlington Sues TO
Continue in Office
By Robert c. RoIlinqs

In a surprise move yesterday,
members of the incumbent Ar
lington County School Board
filed a suit in Arlington Circuit
Court in which they seek to con-
tinue in office after January /,
the date the county's first popu-
arly-elected board is scheduled
to take over.
The action is in the form of a
motion for a declaratory judgment
against the school board-elect on
the ground that the act of the Vir-
ginia Assembly, permitting a ref
erendum last May and the resultant
popular election, is unconstitutional
The statute also abolished the
method by which the incumbent
board was appointed.
Harry w. Porter, the only member
of the incumbent board who did not
seek election November 4, said last
night that the suit was his idea and
the other board members had joined
with him at his suggestion.
The other William
Montgomery Smith, John M.
Stewart, Mrs. Luc., G. Bussey and
Ernest c. Belts, jr-refused to COM
ment on the legal action, adding
that Mr.. Porter had been designated
as their spokesman.
Won't Turn Over Books.
Mr.. Porter declared the incum-
bent board will not vacate Office
January l nor will it turn over any
records, books or papers to the new
board.
Members of the board-elect, who
were served with notices of the suit
as they sat in conference with
County School Supt. Fletcher Kemp
Immediately after they had qualified
for Office before Clerk of the Court
H. Bruce Green, issued the follow
ing statement:
I'VE regret that the members of
the incumbent school board, four
of whom ran for election, have seen
flt to use this method of seriously
delaying the inauguration of the
school improvement program which
the people of Arlington want.
"If the present board had any
doubt about the constitutionality of
the election law, it should have
raised the question IL months ago
when the law was passed.
Sabotage" Suggested.
fiy,oiy,r of tIic c,,if
that it is deliberate attempt to
sabotage the school improvement
program of the new board by divert
ing its time and energy to a de-
fense of its right to hold Office"
Members of the new board are
Barnard Joy, Mrs. Elizabeth Camp
bell, Colin C. Macpherson, o. Glenn
Stahl and Curtis E. Tuthill.
Mr.. Porter declared there are NO
personal feelings in the suit and
that it is not a case of "sollr grapes
on the part of those defeated No
vember 4.
Asked why he had not brought
the action sooner, Mr.. Porter said
he could not do so until the persons
elected had qualified for office
The suit states that Chapter 81
of the Acts of the General Assembly
of 1947, by which special provisions
were made for the election of the
school board, is "a local or special
law and is unconstitutional because
it violates Sections SO and 64 of the
Constitution of Virginia in that it
provides for conducting elections in
one locality but not in any other
locality"
The statute provides for a refer

THE LEGION POPPY:
What 1t Means To Its Creators

Help and hope is the meaning of
the memorial poppy to those who
are paying the human cost of our
world war victories. All the money
contributed by those who wear pop
pies in memory of the war dead
goes TO aid the wars living vic
Tins, the disabled veterans. their
families and the families of the
dead. The dimes. quarters. and
dollars dropped into the cOntribu-
tiOn boxes of the volunteer porpy
workers are the principal source
Of support for the continuous re-
habilitatiOn and child welfare work
of the Legion Auxiliary.
The government does much for
the disabled but the government
cannot do everything There are
many veterans and veterans fami-
lies which do not come within the
legal provisions for compensation.
There are many others whose com
pensatiOn is too meager TO meet
their needs.
These are our disabled veterans
and dependent families. Their sac
rlfices were made in our defense
Poppy-day gives us all opportunity
to do something for them ourselves
to help them little as they pay in
suffering and hardships for our wal
victories. The human cost of wal
is so unequally divided among us

OF us pay little or nothing. Buying
