District Golf Team Nominated
For Match With Baltimore

Brawner (Chevy Chase and Bowie
(Columbia) rank among the select
group as they have for the past
few years, as does Shea, the Con-
gressional titlist and scratch handi-
cap player.
Nee was finalist in the District
Amateur last year. while Miller is
conceded to be the top man of a
number of good club golfers at Ken
wood McAleer. the Districts top
southpaw and one of the city's top
golfers for years, was chosen last
year but did not compete due to an
operation. He clinaxed the season
by handing Brownell his first match
play defeat in five months in the
title round of the Manor Club
championship.
For alternates, we nominate
Morris. Swearingen, Nolan and
Semmler for their occasional tour
nament appearances and their
standing among the Districts anna
teur golfiing elite.
Washington holds a Al edge in
the series, losing only the 1916
match in an upset as it was played
over its home Columbia Club course.
Last years score was 1873 for the
District with Baltimore making 1t
close in the top foursomes but los
ing out to the Districts al-round
strength. George Voigt was captain
last year in the match at Wood
holme.
With the bordering Virginia clubs
eligible for Maryland State tourna-
ments this year for the first time,
the District team is strengthened by
the addition Of Gardner and Rippy,
who will make 1t plenty tough for
any Baltimore golfers who tackle
them over their home course.
Baltimore will not be any setup.
1t probably will have the Middle At
lantic titlist, Roland Mackenzie,
playing over the site of former
triumphs, ex Maryland Open and
Amateur Champ Spencer Overton,
Eddie Johnston. the four qualifiers
for the National Public links and
others, but the District team should
rule the favorite by playing the
match over course seldom If ever
played by the visitors.

SHREVEPORT, La.-Any fair left

Quarter Of Arlington
School Children Are
Outside Board Control

More than fourth of school chill
dren in Arlington are enrolled in
schools not affiliated with the sys-
tenn, according to figures obtained in
recent special census.
The other schools include public
institutions in Washington, Alex
andria, and Fairfax County, and pri-
vate schools in Arlington and the
three. adjacent communities.
The census found 15,415 children
who live in Arlington are enrolled In
school, exclusive of kindergarten.
These, however, do not include all
the school-age children in the COM
munity. Attendance is not compul-
sorry after the age of 16, but chill
dren up through l9 are considered
of school age.
Of the 15,4l5, a total of 1921, or
7344 per cent, attend Arlington pub
lie schools, while 4.094, or 1856 per
cent. are enrolled in other schools.
The latter figure is broken down
into 1895 in public schools else
where; 1,7OO in parochial schools,
and 1,l29 in private schools.
While the percentage of white
and colored children attending Ar
lington schools is approximately the
same, much larger proportion OF
colored go to public school else
where.
A larger percentage of white chill
dren go to private and parochial
schools.
Attendance at schools outside the
county system is greater among
children aged 6 and 7 and OF Is
through 10 than it is in the 8
through 14-year-old group.

By The Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, May 29-Names
of the eleven presidential electors
selected by the Republican Party of
Virginia were certified to the State
Board of Elections today by Earle
Lutz, the party's executive director.
Mr.. Lutz also certified that the
Republican State Convention had
instructed the presidential electors
to vote for the party's candidates for
president and vice president.
The anti-Truman elections act OF
the recent General Assembly re-
quires that the names of electors
and the instructions given them be
certified to the board.

dates would not betray their party
by not voting for the candidates of
their party" Mr. Lutz wrote in his
letter of transmittal.
To Back Convention Nominee.
However, pending a test Of the
constitutionality of the Tuck anti
Truman act. it is certified herewith
that the eleven Republican presi-
Dental electors we're instructed, if
elected next November, to vote for
the candidates for president and
vice-president nominated at the
Republican National Convention
opening In Philadelphia on June 21,"
the letter continued.
Mr.. Lutz requested that the Re-
publican electors be designated by
party name on the ballot in accord
ance with still another provision
of the anti Truman elections act.
The constitution clearly pro-
hibits the party designation, but the
Republican Party over long period
of years has endeavored to have
this prohibition changed" Mr.. Lutz
wrote.
He added that the same treat
ment would be expected in regard
to the Republican Partys candi-
date for the United States Senate,
Robert H. Woods of Pearisburg, and
for each of the Republican candi-
dates in the nine Virginia Con-
gressional districts.
AT least let us be consistent" Mr..
