New Superintendent
OF Arlington Schools
By Robert {. Roliinos

William A. Early, superintend-
snt of Norfolk County schools, to-
day was appointed superintendent
of tfs Arlington system, succeed
ing Fletcher M. Kemp. who has
held the post for 81 years.
The appointment was made off,
eial at a special meeting OF the
board this morning. Mr.. Early,
head of the Norfolk County sys-
TEN since January /, l945, tele-
phoned his acceptance late last
night.
The board said today it is con-
sidering the possibility of an ar
rangement which would protect"
Mr.. Kemp's retirement status. Al
though he has had more than
enough service, at 81 he lacks four
years OF being the required age.
His present four-year term ex-
pires June 80, and Mr.. Early's
appointment is effective the fol-
lowing day. The new superintend-
ent Is 43.
Difference Recalled. =
Since the board took over Ar
lington's school system as the first
elected educational group In the
State in January, 1948, It has been
apparent that 1t and Mr.. Kemp
were at odds.
Dissatisfaction with Mr.. Kemp's
policies and the appointed School
Board which opponents charged
he controlled, led to a virtual
revolution among school conscious
residents. This resulted in passage
by the General Assembly of special
legislation permitting a referen-
dunn on the method of selecting
the school board.
In the referendum in May, 1947,
the method of popular election
was selected overwhelmingly. The
citizens groups which backed

Rent Curbs Removed

Nine Scattered States
Dr. me A.soeiessd Press

Rental prices on % 900 dwell
ings in nine scattered States today
became q matter between land
lord and tenant. Government
rent ceilings on the units have
been removed.
Housing Expediter Tighe Woods
announced the action yesterday.

Florida. West Virginia. North
Carolina. North Dakota, Ohio,
Minnesota and Texas.
The new decontrol followed by
three days q similar move govern

Texas.
Mr.. Woods stressed in q state
ment that a 'reimposition of
ceilings" will result in any area
where the removal of controls re-
suits In unreasonable rent in
creases." The housing director
was given authority for such steps
last week when Congress approved
a 15-month extension of the Rent
Control Act.
VIII Continue to Watch.
Mr.. Woods, in announcing the
latest decontrols. asserted that his
agency and local rental advisory
groups will continue to police the
rental picture where restrictions
are lifted. He said recent surveys
indicate the demand for rental
housing appears to have been
reasonably met" in those parts of
the country where ceilings are be-
ing abolished.
Last week, however. Mr.. Woods
termed such surveys "inconclu-
sive" and said the decontrol move
is decision to take a chance" on
lifting the regulations now that

2-Day Battle Reported
In New Russian Foray
Into Iranian Territory
u - A.a,r srI.ss frrs.

TEHERAN. Iran. April s. A
military informant said yesterday
that a Russian regiment. support
ed by tanks and armored cars.
had made a new foray into Aver
baijan Province and attacked an
Iranian Army post.
Iranian troops replied 10 the
Soviet fire and ar important
battle" ensued last Thursday and
Friday, the source said The
Iranian government was believed
TO have handed Russia a stiff note
of protest. There has been no
official announcement as yet con-
corning the matter.
The reported clash near the
Iranian-Soyiet border occurred at
time OF strained relations be
tween the two countries. Russian
pressure on Iran has been mount
ing. causing speculation that this
oil-rich country is becoming the
next focal point in the cold war.
Account of Fighting.
The informant gave this account
of the fighting in Azerbaijan
Province:
Soviet troops crossed the border
in the Ardebil district near the
Caspian Sea last Thursday and
fired on the Iranian outpost at
Qanli Boulaq. A battalion Of
Iranian trops fired back. The
fighting lasted till Friday.
Two Iranians were killed and
considerable number wounded.
The number of Soviet casualties
was not known.
The incident was the sixth this
year. 1t followed a similar clash
reported TO have occurred on the
other side OF the Caspian around
Gurgan. sometime prior TO
March 26.
Last fall the Russians estab-
lished border posts on Iranian
territory around Qanli Boulaq,
but withdrew after a protest was
made.
Earlier Fighting Recalled.
Last weeks clash in Azerbaijan
province was regarded as the most
serious attack on Iran since the
fighting in the same province two
and half years ago The earlier
struggle developed when the So
called Democratic Party. friendly
to the Soviet Union. temporarily
transformed the province into an
autonomous state.
AZerbaijan is in extreme North
western Iran. From a military
standpoint it has important
strategic value because it borders
on Turkey as we'll as the Soviet
Union.
Travellers arriving from the
north reported that Soviet au-
thorities recently have been con-
centrating troops in the Caucasus
near the Iranian and Turkish
borders.
According to those accounts
the Russian forces held exercises.
using heavy artillery and tanks.
not far from the presumed site
of biblical Mount Ararat in Tur-
key. where Noah's Ark came to
rest.
Radio Attack Increased.
Recently the Soviet radio at
Baku has increased its attack on
Iran. claiming that the presence
of American military advisers in
this country has reached the 1921
Soviet -Iranian treaty.
Under terms of that treaty,
Russia has the right to send troops
into Iran in the event Iran is
turned into base for military
action against the Soviet Union
The Russians say the United
States is interfering in the inter-
nal affairs of Iran through eco
nomic assistance, military advice !

There's so much gold and sill
yer here this evening. TO say moth
ing Of the brass" began Mrs
Louis Denfeld as she made q
gracious little speech when intro
ducing the master of ceremonies
Capt. Will Gates. at the Navy
Relief Ball at the Statler last
night. And if you'd looked around
the room just then. you'd have
seen more admirals and Marine
Corps generals and other top
fight navy officials than you'd
see together in one place in many
day.
The annual party for the bene-
fit Of the Navy Relief Society
the Nays pet charity. began with
dinner at 8 in the presidential and
congressional rooms accompanied
by music by the Marine Band Or
chestra. Both rooms were gayly
decorated with starfish and sea
horses and other under-t sea
inhabitants. and across one side
OF the room was an enormous
backdrop covered with all kinds
Of hand-painted fish and bordered
with clusters of coral and white
balloons. For many weeks a COM
mittee. headed by Mrs. John P.
Whitney, had been working on
plans for decorating the two big
rooms. Mrs. Homer c. Wick, a
very talented artist, had dreamed
up the idea said Mrs. Whitney,
and from then on she had had
the enthusiastic support and CO.
operation of every member on the
committee.
The entertainment committee
headed by Mrs. Carleton D. Todd,
provided a program which in
cluded songs by Ben Mitchell
Morris. star vocalist Of the Navy
Band. whose rendition of the Pro-
logue from Pagliacci was received
with enthusiasm: several numbers
by Florence and Frederic. an at
tractive dance team who undoubt-
edly will go far; and songs by the
well-known local artist, Gene
Archer. Another vocalist, Kay
Dewitt. wife of a Navy reserve
officer. dedicated one of her songs.
an Irish lullaby, to Secretary of
the Navy John L. Sullivan.
Secretary Sullivan already had
received a large ovation when he
and his wife entered the room,
and before Mrs. Dewitt began to
sing she said, Il dedicate this
song to our Secretary of the Navy,
one of the finest gentlemen I have
ever known A short time be-
fore that the Secretary had been
asked by the master of cere-
to say a few words. He
walked to the center of the room,
raised bis glass and said. II give
you the only toast the Navy knows
to the President of the United
States"
After the musical program, Mrs.
who was honorary chair
man of the ball. and Mrs. Dan A.
Kimball, wife Of the new Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy for Air,
drew numbers from a huge drum,
one that had been used by Ma
rines in the call to colors through
out the great war. for the presen-
tation of door prizes. The twelve
awarded were of great variety,
among them being a silver ciga-
rette lighter. a lady's pocketbook, 1
season badges for the Laurel races,
dinners at Pierre's restaurant, a.
