Appeals Court Hears
Arlington School Case
By the Associoted Press

RICHMOND, Nov. 20-The con-
stitutionality of a State law pro-
viding for school board elections in
Arlington County was argued be-
fore the State Supreme Court of
Appeals yesterday
At issue was the validity OF a
general law designed to permit
residents of Arlington County to
corduct popular elections in choos-
ing members of their school board.
It's provisions now apply only to
Arlington County Eventually it
might also affect Elizabeth City
County
In other Virginia counties, school
board members are appointed by
school trustee electoral boards. The
latter are appointed BY the Cir
cult Court.
Under the law questioned, ref
erendum was held in Arlington in
May. 1947. This resulted in an over
Whelming approval of the plan to
elect school board members by pop
ular vote.
LdoI NO'clllUCl oil ClIIllely Ic"
board was elected to Office.
All members Of the appointed
board, except Harry W. Porter,
stood for reelection but were de-
feated
Mr.. Porter and other members of
the old board brought suit for a
declaratory judgment in the Arling-
on County Circuit Court to have
the law declared unconstitutional
The Circuit Court refused, how
ever. and the plaintiffs were granted
an appeal by the Supreme Court.

The Montgomery County League

ton hope to have the bill passed

Sodium FIuoride Use
In Teeth Decay Fight
Tested in Arlington

A demonstration experiment in
the prevention of dental decay with
sodium fluoride is nearing compile
ton at the John Marshall Elemen-
tary School in Arlington.
A special mobile dental treatment
unit, one of so in the United States
was set up at the school November
8 to begin the first experiment of
this kind in the Metropolitan Area
DR.. Tom Humphrey. dental di-
rector for Arlington County schools,
said nearly all of the more than
400 students at John Marshall will
receive the sodium fuoride treat
ment by the time the experiment is
completed next Wednesday. The
treatments were not given unless
parents consented.
The sodium fuoride treatment,
are being made in a series of fou,
applications at three to four inter.
walls. Before the chemical is an.
piled, the students teeth are ex-
amined by a dentist and cleaned
Parents are advised of dental de-
flciencies noted by the dentist !
examination.
DR.. Pumphrey said the children
should receive a complete series of
applications at intervals of about
three years to protect new teeth as
they appear. Research has shown
that application of the sodium
fluoride reduces dental decay in
children's teeth by about 40 per
cent.
R. D. Frederick, Public Health
representative with the unit. said
the demonstration experiment had
three major objectives. It is de-
signed to acquaint local dentists
with the correct technique for ap-
plication of sodium fuoride; to
train school and public health per-
sonnel in the use of sodium fluoride
and to demonstrate how such a
program can work in the commun-
ity, thereby encouraging establish
ment of permanent decay preven-
ton program.
The Virginia dental unit con-
Quoted its first demonstra ton ex-
pertinent at the Stafford Court
house Elementary School recently
After the work at John Marshall is
completed, the unit will go to Alex
andria, where it will be set up at
the Maury Elementary School and
later at the Lyles Crouch colored
school.
The mobile dental units are
financed by sl,O00,OO0 Congress
sional appropriation. The Virginia
unit works under direct supervision
of the State Department of Health

Arlington Hospital expects to
continue to sell flowers despite a
warning by the Northern Virginia
Florists Association that it is going
to file a charge that the hospital
is guilty of ultra vires"-which isn't
a new variety of orchid.
The Northern Virginia Florists
Association completely discarded the
language of the flowers and spoke
in grim legal fashion in a letter to
the hospital demanding that a
flower vending box be removed from
the hospital lobby.
The ultra vires." according to
Arlington Attorney John Paul Jones
who represents the florists. simply
means that the hospital, a non
profit institution, has gone beyond
the scope of its powers" in selling
pretty blossoms for use in the
hospital.
The refrigerated flower box was
installed and is maintained by a
Washington florist, w. v. Steddom,
who also operates similar venders in
Alexandria and Garfield Hospitals
Mr.. Steddom has paid the required
licenses to the county.
The Virginia florists, however,
feel that because patrons of the
self-service box must pay a hospital
employe and because the hospital
furnishes free electricity to operate
the box. the whole thing becomes a
matter of unfair competition.

Arlington Hospital to Ignore
Florists Attack on Concession

Anderson, who comedies his institu-
ton is nonprofit in more ways than
one, said that the Board of Direc-
tors last night voted to leave the
flower box right where it is. The
board, Mr.. Anderson declared, has
been given an opinion by its legal
adviser that operation Of the box
does not violate the hospitals char
ter.
Mr.. Anderson pointed out that
the flowers are sold only within
the hospital and are used only
within the hospital. This, the board
feels, does not represent unfair
competition with the florists.
Mr.. Anderson said the $40 to $50
a month profit which the hospital
realized from the flowers won't over
come the institutions financial
deficit, but that Everything helps
He added that only two Of Ar
lingtons dozen or so florists had
bothered to contribute to the hos
pitfalls campaign for funds. The
campaign, which started last May,
has realized only At per cent of
an $4,000 goal.
And, added Mr.. Anderson, the
hospital has offered to let the
Northern Virginia florists operate
the box, but they have refused.
A spokesman for the florists con-
ceded that the offer had been made.
but said the profit per member
wouldn't be worth while.
Deadline set by the complaining
florists for removal of the box is
Tuesday.

Commission Proposes Johnston Will Seek
dM.Repofto State Higher Pay for Both
On It's Disbursements Fedora, DC. Workers

+ Higher pay for both Federal and
District employees will be sought by
Senator Johnston, Democrat, of
South Carolina, the prospective
chairman of the Senate Post Office
and Civil Service Committee.
He told reporters last night he
will seek to bring the pay of Wash
ington city government workers up
to the level Of Federal job holders.
In addition. he said, he believes
the $3.50 pay raise granted classified
Federal workers earlier this year
and the $3.50 given postal workers
constituted compromises. He said
he always has felt these pay raises
should have been higher.
When the Federal pay raises were
put into effect, the great majority
of District government workers were
deprived of any cost of living pay
raise because of the last hour fill
buster staged in the Senate by Sen
ator Johnston
Chairman Cain. Republican. of
Washington, In charge of District
legislation. had stood adamantly
against any pay raise increase in
District costs unless Congress adopt
ed higher revenues for the city.
The House passed a new District
revenue bill providing, among other
things, for 2 per cent general
sales tax, exempting medicines and
food for home consumption.
This was blocked in the Senate by
Senator Johnston, and the whole
question of increased city revenues
was put over to the Eighty first
Congress.
Senator Johnston said last night
he still is opposed to any sales tax
for the District.

BY the Assoeiofed Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 2O.-A State
commission on accounting systems
has recommended that the Univer-
sity of Maryland report disburse-
ments to the controller just as other
State agencies do.
The proposal was contained in a
report submitted yesterday to Gov
Lane and the State Legislative
Council by commission headed by
Brooke E. FUR. The group was ap-
pointed by the Governor to survey
accounting systems of State agen-
cies.
The report answered mo- to a
question posed by the 1947 General
Assembly as to whether it would be
feasible to set up a central system
of accounts for all agencies.
System Found Sound.
1t would be IAN impairment to
the service" of some of the 112
agencies, it said, to keep the records
of all of them in. one place.
The accounting systems. proce-
dures and controls as used in the
State of Maryland are sound and
practical" the commission found.
With regard to the University of
Maryland. the group urged that the
institution be required to submit
with each transmittal Of expenses a
supplemental statement summariz-
ing the expenditures according to
the standard classification of ex-
penditures."
Other Recommendations.
1t pointed out that except for the
department of employment security,
which uses Federal funds and comes
under a special law, and the uni
versity, the State has "compre-
hensive accounting system" based
on a standard classification of ac-
counts, with expenditures against
these accounts recorded in the con-
troller's Office.
The report suggested that the
"budget-making authority of the
State" should determine the prac-
ticability "in accordance with the
standard classification of expendi-
lures"
Other recommendations were that
the commission be given funds fol
a more thorough study and that
there be an annual State budget, in
stead of biennial as heretofore. The
latter recommendation already has
been accomplished by passage of a
referendum on November 2.
