McNayr Plans 10 Keep
County Post Despite
Efforts 10 Gust Him

Irving G. McNayr yesterday re-
iterated his intention to remain at
his post as Montgomery County
Supervisor despite efforts by a fac
ton of the Board Of County Com
missionerS to oust him.
The attempt to which Mr.. McNayr
referred occurred at a closed meet
ing Of the board Thursday when
Commissioners Brooke Johns and
Wesley I. Sauter led a fight to dis
charge Mr.. McNayr because he sup
ported the charter movement.
"As a professional public admins
TRAITOR" Mr.. McNayr declared, 81
intend to see to 1t that the transition
from the commissioner to the coun-
Gil manager system Is orderly and
that the interests of all county resi-
dents are adequately served"
Although all five of the Commits
sioners, who will be replaced by a
county council January 10, opposed
the new charter, Mr.. Sauter and
MIR. Johns have been particularly
outspoken in opposition to it.
Mr.. McNayr was appointed County
Supervisor in November, 1896, after
the resignation of Willard F. Day
Before that, he was county purchas-
ing agent.
Meanwhile j.. Ernest Hawkins
clerk to the County Commissioners
and one of four county officials
whose jobs will be abolished when
the charter takes effect December 2
has urged all employees in his Office
to continue to give your best efforts
to your duty"
In a memorandum to office per-
sonnel, Mr.. Hawkins said:
1T matters not how we felt about
the charter form of government OF
how we voted thereon. The fact
remains that the people have spok-
en-, and the majority favored the
charter have always
believed in majority rule and I am
willing to abide by it.
"The reason that our county Is
rated first In the United States IL
because Of her people and their pub
lie services. The charter form oi
government will not change this
We shall continue to lead for the
same reasons. ."

Bond Issue Vote TODAY
To Decide Fate Of
King George School
By Alex R. Preston
Stor Sfoff Correspondsnf

KING GEORGE COURT HOUSE,
Va. Nov. 6.-Outcome of today's
Negro school bond issue referendum
may result in closing down the
county's only white high school.
King George County Is voting on
the question of whether $l50,00O
shall be raised to bring facilities at
the Negro school near here to a par
with those at the high school for
white children. In an attempt to
comply with a Federal court order
Immediately, classes in physics
chemistry, geometry, biology and
second-year algebra already have
been removed from the curriculum
Of the school for whites.
This action was taken, it was
learned today, only after members
Of the School Board and the Board
Of Supervisors and Commonwealth
Attorney Horace T. Morrison had
been served summonses to appear
at a conference with Circuit Court
Judge Leon M. Bazile.
Has Not HELPED Us Any"
Negroes here do not feel that
dropping classes in the white school
has helped their problem.
Joseph E. Toliver, colored, OF
Shiloh, is secretary of the King
George County Training School (for
Negroes) Parent-Teacher Associa-
ton. Asked about the School
Boards action, he said:
II don't see where that helped us
any. I don't see why they can't
keep everything they can get and
give us the same thing"
School Supt. T. Benton Gayle
admitted that he did not agree with
Judge Bazile and the School Board S
action at the conference.
Puts Tag on Proceedings.
Mr.. Gayle described proceedings
at the conference as "like court
ordering doctor to prescribe Ger
tain medicine for a patient"
He has admitted that facilities in
the Negro school are not equal to
those at King George High School
and has publicly based an appeal
for support Of the proposed bond
issue ON this fact. Although he
could not see what could be accom-
plished by lowering standards at
the white school in order to attain
equality" he has publicized this in
an attempt to persuade the voters
to approve the referendum.
William L. Smith, jr., principal
Of the white high school, estimated
there may be as many as 10 stu
dents who might not be able to be
graduated because they will lose
credits from the courses dropped.
3. NAACP Suit Pending.
This county cast 720 ballots in
Tuesdays presidential election Gov.
Dewey carried it, and many be-
heved that this number would not
be equalled in today's turnout. It
is estimated that nearly 900 resi-
dents are qualified voters.
The NAACP has pending a suit
in Federal Court to require equal
facilities in the Negro school, which
takes all grades from the 1st
through the 18th. II also has asked
the court to hold school officials in
contempt for failing to make i'm
provements in the time allowed.
Today's referendum is one OF the
answers this community proposes
to submit to the court, regardless
of the outcome. One of the most
complained of features of the plan
Is the estimated 80 cents tax rate
increase that a bond issue would
entail.

Union S Negotiators
OK. Phone Pay Scale
Rejected Previously

Wage increases turned down three
weeks ago by union representing
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone
Co. employees carried the union ne
gotiators' stamp of approval today
and will be instituted If the men,
bership agrees.
The new scale, supplying $2-to-$6-
a-Week increases, was accepted yes
terday by Division 36, Communica-
tions Workers of America, for 3,61e
plant, accounting and commercial
employees and later was approved
by the unions International Execu.
tive Board.
Next Tuesday members of Divi.
sion 36, who have the final say-so
probably will accept the word ot
their president, Glenn E. Watts
that this is the best possible settle.
ment under the circumstances.
Still up in the air, however, will
be the question of whether about
5000 operators belonging to Division
so of the communications workers
will get pay boosts this year.
Division so Still Holds Out.
Like Division 36, this group re-
jected the company's final" offer
during 30-day wage reopening
period. Today Division SOS presi-
dent, Mrs. Mary E. Cannon, said
the union definitely was not Wiling
to accept the company's $2-to-$4-a-
week offer at this time and had no
plans for resuming negotiations.
In announcing the settlement for
Division 36, F. G. Macarow, c. & P.
vice president and general manager,
said the increases would be retro
active to November 7 if the men,
bership ratif1es the agreement oy
November IL.
He said the new agreement would
give top classified craftsmen S86 a
week and highest-paid service rep
resentatives $62.
Mr.. Watts figured the wage in
creases averaged SAIL per week, a
little more than 10 cents an hour.
Calls Settlement Unsatisfactory.
Under the terms, 10 persons now
earning up to $29 a week will re-
ceive 81 more per week; 100 persons
$50 to $43, 50 more; 931
persons making $44 to $57, So more:
208 persons making $58 to $65, $4
more; $40 persons making $66 to
$73, SIS more, and 1880 persons max
ing $74 and over, $6 more.
Mr.. Watts said the settlement was
entirely unsatisfactory in view of
the increase in the cost of living
since the last wage increase in May,
1947."
Calling the agreement Shock
ing discrimination against low wage
earners," he eaid the company had
passed up an opportunity to enter
into an era of good empioye rela-
tions by its stubborn determination
to have its own way."
