Falls Church School
Crisis Predicted i
Bonds Are Defeated

A school crisis of Shocking pro-
portions" faces Falls Church resi-
dents unless a proposed bond issue
for school construction is ap-
proved. Robert M. Cullum, presi-
dent of the combined Falls Church
parent-teacher association pre-
dicted yesterday.
Mr.. Cullum. commenting on pre-
liminary results of a census of
children in the city. said it is a
virtual certainty that final tabu-
lations will show "a new all-time
high" for the school population.
The census was conducted by
PTA members with the approval
of the city School Board. Infor-
nation was gathered on children
up to 19 years of age in the Falls
Church area, including adjacent
sections of Fairfax County.
"The results of the preliminary
census" Mr.. Cullum said, support
the need for both a new junior
senior high school and a primary
school,"
These projects are included in
a 100000 bond issue for school
construction on which property
owners will vote Saturday. Also
included in the program is i'm
provement of the city's present
school, Madison Elementary.
A proposed county bond issue
also will be needed, the PTA pres
ident said, to escape a similar
crisis in that area.
Prospective enrolment in 1885,
of city junior senior high school
based on the census figures, /:
433 students. In the following
year. according to preliminary
estimates. more than 480 would
be in the seventh to twelfth grade
age group. Some of the students
who now attend private or paro-
chial schools, said Mr.. Cullum
are expected to attend the pro-
posed city school.
Heavy increases in primary
grades will take place in the next
few years. according to the sur
vey. A total of approximately
1880 pre-school children live
within the present city limits.

Board Hears Transit
Testimony Today on
Working Conditions

A five-man arbitration board
today was to hear testimony from
Capital Transit Co. spokesmen on
the IL changes in working condi-
tions asked by the transit work
ers' union.
Preliminary exhibits bearing on
the issues involved were intro
duced late yesterday, as the board
continued hearings in the Hamil-
ton Hotel. Isaac B. Goad, direc-
tor of schedules and traffic for
the company, who was on the
stand at adjournment, was ex-
pected to return as the first wit
ness today.
The union is asking, among
other things. a 25 cents an hour
pay raise across the board and
elimination of all so-called Swing
runs" on Sunday.
S Changes Sought.
The company, besides resisting
the proposed pay raise, is asking
the arbitration board for five
changes in working conditions, in
Guiding elimination of operators
pay for the 20-minute daily
lunch period.
Hawley Simpson. labor con-
sultant. and Mr.. Goad. put into
the record for the company yes
terday a series of documents out
lining the background of the op-
Grafton of both bus and streetcar
lines as a basis for discussion to-
day of requests by the. union.
Mr.. Goad told the board yes
terday operators now average 7
hours and 10 minutes work day,
but under the contract still in eff
feet, get paid for an average of
8 hours and 80 minutes.
Cites Federal Pay.
In support of the company's
contention that a 25-cent wage
raise is not justified, Mr.. Simpson
submitted figures showing that
the average transit worker earned
more than the average Federal
Government employe in 1948.
The average salary of 798, ,052
classified workers in Government
was shown to be $3.313 annually
in 1948, compared with $3,339 for
transit workers.

School Problem
Alexandria Official
Cites Need for
Buildings, Teachers
By the Associated Press

FRONT ROYAL, Va, Nov. IT,
There is hope for the solution OF
Virginia's most pressing public
school problems in the program
outlined by Gov.-elect John S.
Battle, an educator declared here
yesterday.
T. C. Williams, superintendent
of the Alexandria schools, made
the statement during the seventh
of a series of public hearings con-
Quoted by the State Board OF
Education.
Mr.. Williams saw the most
pressing problems as "the need
of school buildings and adequate
teaching staffs." The latter, he
added, is a Nationwide need.
There is hope for the solution
of both problems. Mr.. Williams
said, "if not in their entirety.
through the declared program Of
Gov.-elect John S. Battle, who
recognizes the needs of Virginia
schools-if educational forces are
unified and assist the Governor"
Bulletin Praised.
Speakers commended a bulletin
issued recently by the State Board
on the school system Of Virginia.
The only criticism was voiced
by John Lynch of Fairfax County,
who said the portion of the bull
letin which describes an ideal
school system is too vague"
THE board should indicate
more specifically what can be
done to approximate this ideal"
Mr.. Lynch said.
Miss Lillian Butler, a colored
teacher of Fauquier County.
recommended that the State fur
nish free textbooks and free
teaching materials and asked for
salaries commensurate with those
of other professions.
There were several recommend
ations that the school system be
democratized by the election of
members of local school boards
instead of the present method Of
appointment by school trustee
electoral boards which, in turn.
are appointed by judges of the
circuit courts.
Elected Boards Urged.
Mr.. Lynch said that school
boards should be elected by the
people or appointed by boards Of
supervisors. Direct election was
suggested by John S. Miller, Of
Shenandoah, New Market news
paper editor.
School boards should be elected
by the people, Mr.. Miller said.
This would give them direct in
terest in their local school sys-
tenn. School boards also should
fix the amount of the school
budget"
! Mr.. Miller also suggested an
lequaliZed rate of assessment of
property values by all counties in
Virginia.
IF we want better schools, there
must be more money for them.
which means more taxes" said
Ray Tamkin, Strasburg business
man. I'VE must carry the mes
Isage of better support of our
schools to our people" :"
Addition of more supervisors.
revision of teacher training pro-
grams in State colleges and .
campaign of teacher recruitment
was suggested by Norman Scott
of Clarke County to raise the
teaching level.
Consolidation of high schools
for economy and efficiency was
|agreed to by most spokesmen, but
there was a difference of opinion
as to elementary school consoli-
dation. Some spokesmen con-
tended that elementary schools
should be kept near the pupils

men and educators presented the
case for using dogs (Which other
wise would go to the pounds gas
chamber) for experimentation.

termed cruel experiments and
mistreatment of dogs in medical
school kennels.
The session was one of the Bit
terest held in Baltimore in many
years.
Meanwhile, thousands of letters
