Arlington Will Seek
State Share in Land
Used for Parkway

The Arlington County Board yes
terday voted to send a delegation
to Richmond soon to arrange with
Gov. Tuck for payment of Virginia's
share of the cost of the remaining
parcels of land of Units l and 2 Of
the George Washington Memorial
Parkway.
The board also decided to file a
formal protest with the Interstate
Commerce Commission on the pro-
posed fare increase of the Washing
ton, Virginia & Maryland Coach Co.,
better known as the Arnold Lines.
The action was taken after the
county's Public Utilities Commission
said the proposed increase, scheduled
for June 1, "do not appear warranted
or justified at this time"
Decision to confer with Gov. Tuck
was made after the board received
a request from the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission for
17,108, representing the county and
State portion of funds to pay for
land condemned in recent court ac-
ton.
Total Land Cost S34,762.
Units / and 2 of the parkway ex-
tend from Key Bridge up the Po-
tomac River to Spout Run.
Total cost of the land is S34, 1852.
The Federal Government pays so
per cent and the county and State,
Is per cent each.
The Federal Government con-
structs the road at no cost to Arling-
ton or the State.
In reporting on the proposed bus
fare increase, Lester Conley, repre-
senting the PUG, said that when
the ld-operated lines merged
with the Arlington & Fairfax Motor
Transportation Co. in March, it was
predicted that the former company
would save $104, ,225 annually.
He said the firm had not given
itself an opportunity to see whether
the savings actually would result.

Mundt Exonerafes
Western Principal
On Pro-Red Speech

Acting Chairman Mundt Of the
House Un-American Activities Com
mittee yesterday said no blame
should be attached to the principal
of Western High School for inviting
a speaker whose appearance at the
school last Tuesday caused four
students to walk out on her talk
as to "pro-Russian
The principal, Nathaniel A. Dan
owsky, was guilty of an error in
judgement, in the opinion of the
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning,
but received no further censure
from school officials for inviting
Russian born Mrs. Shura Lewis to
speak at the student assembly.
Four students walked out of the
assembly, made cardboard signs and
began a short lived demonstration.
However, it brought promises of
investigations by two Congressional
Committees and protests from sew
eral citizens groups.
Mr.. Mundt said he would seek a
meeting of the full committee this
week, to review the whole situation.
A committee investigator already
has submitted report on the lee
ture by Mrs. Lewis.
The committee, Mr.. Mundt said,
would check all angles of the back
ground of Mrs. Lewis, to determine
among other things her citizenship
status. Mr.. Mundt said the COM
mittee would want to know if she
might be subject to deportation.
In addition, he said, his group
wanted to ascertain if the Western
High School talk was the first time
she has given such views in a lee
ture. AT the time of the criticism
of her talk at Western it was an
nounced that she had previously
appeared at Wilson Teachers COL
| lege.
Mr. Mundt also announced receipt
/ of letter from DR.. Corning stating
that all school principals had been
instructed to clear the names of
visiting speakers with the Board of
Education in advance of the lee
lures.
This step, Mr.. Mundt said, should
have a very salutary effect" He
took the position there are sufficient
numbers of persons available to
talk to pupils on the American way
of life without drawing on advo-
Gates of foreign iSrns.

 The latanuska Valley Colony is heading in- to another storm. In tho ten years that the author or this letter has been a mer- Der of the Natanuska Coop; he has sem and Weathered many such storms, but this one will be different be cause so much is in- vo1ved due to the accuml 1at ion of problems brought on the Coop through the miananage- nont during tho period from 1944 to l946.

 From the start of the project there has been a spirit of disunity that jeopard1zed tho success Of the Coop.

Some of our own members. who have prospered as Individuals and some of whom started a few years ago from scratch but are now relatively wel1-to-do, are trying to destroy he vehicle that enabled them to ac ccompl sh the devalo7rent of suc- cossful farms.
