cratic rally at the Prince Georges

Arlington School
Bond Proposal
Club Opposes Shift
OF Education Bourd
Elections to May

Arlington Republicans last night
Endorsed proposed $4,750, 900 school
bond issue, commended" the stand
taken on the project by Lee
Potter, Independent candidate for
the County Board, and went on
record opposing a change of School
Board elections from November to
May.
The resolutions were adopted at
meeting of the Republican Club
in the Cherrydale Firemen's Hall,
5000 Lee highway.
The Endorsement termed the bond
issue carefully conceived" and urged
all voters to cast their ballots for it
in the November 2 elections.
Forward Stand" Praised.
Mr.. Potter, the club declared, Is
the only one of four candidates for
the County Board who has clearly
set forth his interest in the school
problem" The resolution called his
position a forward, positive looking
stand"
On the question of changing the
School Board election the club
stated that local Democratic bosses,
under the tricky disguise of non-
partisan elections, have brought
forth a scheme designed to get the
School Board election shifted from
the wel-attended general election
in November to a smaller, more
easily controlled separate election
In May"
The members declared also that
the machine has already revealed
its selfish partisan interest in the
matter by requesting its precinct
workers to campaign for this un-
desirable measure"
Vote Turnout Compared.
Separate elections held in Nav
1885, and March, 1945, brought out
only 81 per cent and 12 per cent
respectively, as many voters as went
to the polls in November of those
years, the resolution stated.
The James Monroe Parent-Teache,
Association last night was told by
proponents of the school election
shift that an attempt is being made
10 raise a smoke screen" on the
issue by telling the people that the
school and County Boards elections
must be held simultaneously because
the School Board is financially de-
pendent on the County Board.
Mrs. Mildred Young, chairman OF
the Committee for the Non-Partisan
Separate Election of the School
Board, declared:
Very few of our citizens know
that the Virginia Code gives the
School Board an appeal to the peo-
pie over the heads of the County
Board If the latter does not accept
their school budget requests.
Norton Gives Views.
At another meeting, E. B. Norton
former Deputy United States Com
missioner Of Education, said Airing
ton lis not unique in being faced
with an urgent necessity to expand
its school plant and facilities"
Mr.. Norton, who lives in Arlington
and is now executive secretary of
the National Council of Chief State
School Oficers, told the Stonewall
Jackson Parent Teacher Association
that communities throughout the
Nation face this problem to a vary
ing degree.
He said Arlington "is unique, how
ever, in the extent to which the situ-
alton has been carefully and ac-
curately appraised and in the FORE
sight with which specific and criti-
cal needs have been identified clear
ly in terms of anticipated enroll
ments for each of the next seven
years"

States Fighters
Shift Strategy
In Maryland
Porty Told to Write lr
'Thurmond-W d-Wrieht';;
Elector List Dropped
By the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 19.-States'
Rights Democrats have shifted their
Maryland presidential campaign
plans.
They are urging their supporters
simply to write in '"Thurmond and
Wright" on the ballot or voting ma
chine, and have scrapped list of
eight electors for the ticket.
Actually, Marylanders who do that
will be voting for Gov. Strom Thur
mond of South Carolina and Gov.
Fielding L. Wright of Mississippi as
presidential electors-and not as
candidates for President and Vice
President.
The States Fighters organized
their party too late to qualify for
a place on the Maryland November
ballot.
At first, State party leaders
planned to have the names of an
electoral slate of eight printed on
gummed paper for distribution
among Thurmond- Wright support
erS.
Electors Need Not Be Residents.
These could have been pasted to
the write-in space of the ballot or
voting machine and would have
counted as vote.
After a conference with Attorney
General Hall Hammond yesterday,
e. Steuart Vaughan, States Rights
campaign manager in Maryland, an
nounced the change in strategy.
He explained that, under Mary
land law. presidential electors do
not have to be residents of the
State.
Mr.. Vaughan contended that
Cows. Thurmond and Wright won
more votes than any other electoral
college list, they could choose six
other associate electors so that the
entire eight electoral college votes
to which Maryland is entitled would
be cast for the States Rights ticket.
Attorney General Disagrees.
Mr.. Hammond disagreed with this
reasoning, and said it was his in
formal opinion that if the write-in
ballot topped the list, the party
would be entitled to just two elec-
toral college votes. The other six
electors probably would be chosen
from the next highest slate, ne said.
Mr.. Hammond emphasized he was
not making a formal ruling.
The Maryland code stipulates that
State electors present when the
Electoral College meets to pane a
President and Vice President shall
fill any vacancy which may exist in
the said college of electors
whether such vacancy be occasioned
by absence or otherwise. >"
Baltimore Hearing Slated.
Meanwhile, the Baltimore City
Board of Elections Supervisors set
noon tomorrow for hearing on
protest by the city Republican or
ganization against a proposal to
hang tag on each voting machine
in the 495 city precincts.
The tag would designate the slot
to be used in voting for the States
Rights candidates, and also would
warn voters that if the slot were
opened, they could not vote for the
presidential and vice presidential
candidates of other parties. =
The Republican petition contend
ed such tag would call undue at
tention to the States Rights ticket.

 Stein said interviews with Mrs. Griffen and Maxine Harris, who attended a party at the Ernestus home New Years Eve, failed to clarify the mystery.
 A dislocated wrist and cheek abrasions received by Mrs. Griffen might have been caused by fall, he said.
 Belief that death may have been caused by exposure was prompt ed by discovery that the fire in the house had gone out and that the temperature fell to around 10 below that night, Stein said.
 The organs of the two men have been sent to Washington, D. C., for analysis by the FBI laboratory.

GOSPEL TALKS
BY Rev. n. C. Valentine
How To Prosper

"The Lord was with Joseph--and
that which he did, the Lord made it
to prosper."--Genesis 39:2l,23.
When these words were written
of Joseph, he was in an Egyptian
~prison-far away from his home,
loved ones, and friends, in a strange
land and in prison. Yet, we read of
him that the Lord was with him
and made him to prosper. 1t was to
be several years yet before Joseph
was to be lifted out of that prison
and exalted as the second command
in the whole land of Egypt. But
whether in prison or ruling, the
Lord was with him to make him
prosper.
From this we learn that no man
can prosper in a material way or a
spiritual way unless the Lord is with
him. Except the Lord build the
house, they labor in vain that build
it; except the Lord keep the city,
the Waterman waketh but in vain"
Psalm 1874. God alone gives bless
ing to the prosperous. He it is who
makes their endeavors to prosper.
He must be with us if we are to
prosper.
But the God who is the Holy One
cannot bless sin and sinful methods
of getting ahead. To be sure of His
presence and blessing, we must re-
pent of u sin and accept His grace
to sinners in Christ Jesus. We cannot

expect Him to be with us, if we ara
not with Him. We must line oursal-
yes up on His side and put ourselves
where He can bless us. Then, and
only then, can we expect His hand
of blessing. If we persist in our sin
and rebellion against God, He can
only judge us and condemn us.
Recognize God as the giver OF
every perfect gift. Acknowledge His
dominion over His creatures. Trust

His paths and He will richly bless
