Due to Error

Alexandria today was back on
Eastern Standard Time, but city en-
ployes were continuing to observe
Daylight Saving Time by reporting
to work an hour early.
It's all because an ordinance
adopted by the City Council last
May l provided that the city would
remain on daylight time until Sep
tember 6-instead of September 26
when the rest of the Washington
area goes back on regular time.
City Manager Nicholas Colasanto
yesterday directed city officials to
comply with the local law but told
employees to report for duty an hour
ahead of time in order to avoid con-
fusion.
Judge James R. Duncan of Civil

For Service and Ex-Se
Last time the Guide" reported
the word on 18-year-olds and the
special one-year enlistment setup
they have.
Here's some stuff left out.
The Army can take 10000 18-
year-olds, the Navy 10000, the Ma
rines 5000 and the Air Force Is
000
1t looks like a sure thing that the
Navy. Marines and Air Force are
going to be swamped with more ap-
plications than they can handle
under these quotos. On the other
hand, the Army likely will be able
to take most, if not all, those want
ing to enlist in that service.
When you get to your local, or
nearest. recruiting Office to sign up
for years career in the Army
Navy, Marines or Air Force as an
l8-year -old, there's one thing you
have to take with you-a birth GER
tificate.
That's to prove you're not l9-or
less than 18-at the time you apply
for enlistment. If you are, you
aren't eligible.
However, if you put in your appli-
cation when you are Is. then become
10 the next day. you will be accept
able, provided you can enlist under
the quota.
Here's where you go if you enlist
as an 18-year -old and are accepted
Army Right to an Army unit
where you will get your training
and where you will stay for the
whole year. The Army's regular
training centers are clogged with
the volunteers it got in. July and
August. New training centers al
ready are planned. AS soon as they
are opened up 18ers will go there
for their basic training. after which
they'll join regular units for the

StateRetirement
Funds Banned
For School Use
Virginia High Court
Rules Against Loans
To Localities
BY the Associoted Press

STANTON, Va, Sept. 8. - The
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals
refused today to order the release
of State retirement funds for local
school construction.
In 5-to-2 decision, the court
refused to force the State control
Ter and the State treasurer to turn
over $5,o00,000 of retirement funds
to the State Literary Fund for loans
to localities.
1t denied Attorney General j.
Lindsay Almond, jr.s, petition for
a writ of mandamuS. He brought
the action against the State fiscal
officials in behalf of the State Board
of Education.
Controller Henry G. Gilmer and
Treasurer Jesse w. Dillon had re-
fused to release the money on
grounds that they doubted the
constitutionality Of the 1916 and
1947 legislation which made it per-
missible.
The majority opinion was written
by Justice Willis D. Miller, with
Chief Justice Hudgins and as
sociated Justices Eggleston, Spratley
and Buchanan concurrlng.
Justices Staples and Gregory dis
sented Justice Staples was under
stood to be preparing an opinion in
support of th> minority view which
will be issued la n at Richmond.
The courts opinion in the school
funds mandamus was one of 27
issued as it met for the third day
of it's 'Staunton term.
The Northern Virginia area most
vitally affected by the courts deci-
sion is Fairfax County. There. school
officials have applied for about ST.
100000 in loans from the School
Literary Fund, which already has
been exhausted.
A number of Virginia localities
also have applications pending for
school construction loans, some in
volving the improvement of facili-
ties for Negro students, an issue
brought to the forefront in several
Eastern Virginia counties where
Negroes are seeking to enforce a
Federal Court order for equal
facilities.
Because. the States literary fund
was exhausted, the General Assem-
bly, and Education Department Off
cials early this year sought means
of making more funds available.
One method proposed was a revolv-
ing fund, but the attorney generals
Office ruled this would be unconsti-
tutional.
This year. pressure has been
building up in Virginia for imposi-
ton of a sales tax to meet school
expenses. Gov Tuck turned down
such a proposal when the Legisla-
ture convened, stating that the levy
would be adopted only as a last
resort" Several bills for a sales
tax were killed, however
Some observers believe the ruling
may bring about special session of
the Legislature.

DC. Tuition Payments
For CoIored Students
Refused by Fairfax

Fairfax County has joined Airing
ton in refusing to pay tuition for its
colored pupils who want to attend
District schools.
The county established policy
similar to that of Arlington yester-
day when it rejected a petition re-
questing the tuition payment. The
petition was signed by 1876 residents
and asked that the payments be
made for junior high and high
school pupils.
AS an alternative to having their
tuition paid, the petition asked that
the students be permitted to attend
the schools closest to their homes
That would mean they would attend
white schools.
Woodson Cites Policy.
County School Supt w. T. Wood
sor explained that Fairfax, along
with Prince William and Farquier
counties, owns and operates a re-
gional high school in Manassas. He
said the school is equal, and in
schools in the county"
He said that a new shop building
is now being constructed at the
Manassas School at a cost of $780,
600.
Approximately $50 students in
cluding ITO from Fairfax attend the
school which has been operated by
the three communities since 1887.
The counties provide free transpor-
tation to the school.
Mr. Woodson said also, in ex-
planning the rejection of the petit
ton, that the Virginia constitution
forbids teaching white and Negro
students in the same school.
School to Be Repaired.
The board agreed yesterday to
have work done to reinforce the
cracked rear wall of the Madison
School in Falls Church. The
board asked Mr. Woodson to get
bids for construction of four but
tresses to support the wall. Because
of the defects, Falls Church officials
recently condemned the structure.
The school is being used however.
After hearing a protest from a
delegation of school patrons from
Burke, the board agreed to correct
the faulty operation of the septic
tank and drain field at the Burke
School.

Prince Georges Boart
Defends Finances in
Recent Bond Sale

Inc nnanclal status OF Prince
Georges County was defended yes
terday by the county commissioners
in prepared statement concerning
the county's recent sale of s650,000
in bonds, for which there were no
competitive bidders.
Asserting that at no time was the
issue without prospective purchas-
ers,' the commissioners added that,
because of varying conditions, the
sale had to proceed by negotiations,
rather than by an outside bid"
Such failure to obtain bids, the
commissioners stated through their

reflection on the credit of the
county,
Per Cent Interest
Although no bids were received by
the deadline August II for the pur-
chase of the bonds, the commission
Iers entered immediate negotiations
with two banking investment firms
The result was an agreement the fol-
lowing day by the two firms, Kidder,
Peabody Co. of New York and Alex
ander Brown & Sons of Baltimore to
purchase the bonds at a 3 per cent
Interest rate, the maximum allowed
by the Maryland law authorizing
the sale.
Because of the advance in inter-
est rates throughout the State, both
as to municipal bonds and also in
regards to loans in matters general
ly, bids were not readily obtained" j"
