To Instruct Delegates

Differences among Maryland Re-
publican leaders over strategy in the
forthcoming national convention

Party leaders who favor an un-
instructed delegation include Jacob
France, National committeeman
and Robert o. Bonnen, who hold!
no Office in the organization bu
who has been active as an indi

reported.

sion and harmony by uniting on 9
logical, strong candidate"
+. He asserted a division among
Maryland party members "woulo
do our ultimate presidential candi-
date great harm and could cause

Owners Of Property
In Falls Church 10 Vote
On Million Bond Issue

Resident property holders of Falls
Church will vote tomorrow on a
town proposal to issue $1,000, 600
worth of bonds, the proceeds Of
which would be used to increase the
towns water supply.
Polls will be open from 7 am. to
n pm with members OF the town
council acting as judges.
Although the town administration
has taken the position that the
land owners election is not required
by State law and the Attorney Cen
eral has so indicated in an informal
opinion, town officials decided to
hold the election to meet provisions
of the Falls Church charter.
If the freeholders approve the
bond issue, a second election of all
the qualified voters of the town,
regardless of whether they own
property, will be held as soon as
Circuit Judge Paul E. Brown fixes
the date.
Declaring the towns water supply
is insufficient to meet expanding
needs and it's present supply from
Arlington County is on temporary
basis, town officials propose to in
stall the following new facilities:
A 24-inch water main from Chain
Bridge to Chesterbrook along the
Chain Bridge-Langley road and
Macknel lane; a pumping station at
Chesterbrook; a -20-inch main from
Chesterbrook to a new reservoir on
Mount Daniel on the outskirts OF
Falls Church along Kirby road and
Great Falls street: $1,000, ,000, 900
reservoir on Mount Daniel, and q
system of 12-inch mains, one con-
Meeting the Mount Daniel reservoir
with the existing tank on Prout Hill
and the others distributing water
throughout the town.
The town also proposes to set up
a 100000 sinking fund to pay for
the cost of installing a 24-inch main
directly across the Potomac River
above Chain Bridge In a dam to be
installed by the Army Engineer
Corps and connecting directly with
the District water supply and Dale
carlia reservoir.
Town authorities say the proposed
new water supply system would not
only pay for itself but would pro-
vide the town with considerable
profits in the future

out racial segregation practices

Chat Paterson, AVG fationa.
chairman, said the Navy is the only

mitted TO a policy of nonracia

and Air Force Departments tt
questions about racial discrimina'
Etion.
The Army reply, signed by Col
IC. G. Blakeney, Of its legislative
division, Mr.. Materson said, was in.
terpreted by AVG to mean thai
while the Army recognizes that 2
fighting force of top efficiency can
not be mobilized and maintained
under a segregated system, it is un-
willing to completely break with
tradition and abandon segregation
entirely"
Mr.. Paterson said Secretary of All
Symington gave assurance that sug-
gestions offered by AVG would re-
ceive every consideration. This
vague and general reply was. o1
course, not satisfactory" Mr.. Pat
erson said.

:,rv of Nayv Sullivan as saving 'it
is the policy of the Navy Depart.
ment that no distinction be made
between individuals wearing the
naval uniform of any armed force o1
the United States because OF race
color or creed"
