GreenbeIt Reports
Cite Role Of Haven
II A-Bomb Hits D. T..

Greenbelt civil defense authori-
ties last night viewed their COM
munity as an important evacua-
ton haven. in the event of any
bombing of Washington.
This view was held in joint re-
ports given the City Council by
the Advisory Committee on Civil
Defense and by Public Safety
Chief George Panagoulis, who is
acting defense chief. The Ad-
Ivisory Committee was formed only
three weeks ago, at the urging of
residents of the nearby Maryland
community of $500 persons.
The committees detailed report,
as well Sas that of Chief Pana-
goulis, were of a preliminary
nature outlining basic needs. The
Council will meet at 8 pm. Mon
day to act on the recommends
ton. ..
Facilities for Aid.
Maj. Lyman L. Woodman, Air
Force Reserve officer, serving as
chairman of the committee, made
these points:
l. Should Washington be
bombed. Greenbelt has an "un-
usual array" of facilities to provide
substantial aid to evacuees from
the devastated area. For that
reason, Greenbelt should be pre-
pared to meet such an emergency
call.
2. In the unlikely event" that
Greenbelt should be struck by
atomic attack. the facilities of the
nearby Federal agriculture station
at Beltsville are adequate and
should be used as refuge from
Greenbelters.
3. A permanent director of civil
defense for the community should
be appointed speedily.
While the advisory body made
no recommendation for the post
Chief Panagoulis, in his report
urged appointment of City Man
ager Charles T. Mcdonald. Actual
appointment to the job would be
made by the Governor, acting on
the suggestion of the municipal
officials.
The overall defense setup,. as
detailed by Chief Panagoulis and
generally concurred in by the ad-
visory group, would be headed by
the City Council. 1t was pointed
out the municipal setup would be
closely co-ordinated with any
county, State or Federal plan.
City Manager Mcdonald, Mayor
Elizabeth Harrington and several
of the Councilmen said they plan
to attend a series of atomic defense
lectures to be held in the District
later this month, under auspices
lof the American Medical Associa-
ton.
In addition to Maj. Woodman,
those on the Advisory Committee
are 1t. Col. Adalbert C. Long of
the Army Organized Reserve, and

Republican candidates are Wal
ter w. Dawson of Rockville, the
incumbent, and Walter H. Moor
man of Bethesda.
Democratic aspirants are Alger
Y. Barbee, a county trial magis-
trate who lives in Forest Glen,
and John M. McInerney. also of
Bethesda.
In either case, however, it may
be Uncle Sam who will be VIC
torious. Three of the candidates
Mr.. Moorman, Mr.. Barbee and
Mr.. McInerney-hold reserve
commissions in either the Navy
or Coast Guard. The fourth, Mr..
Dawson, was drafted for World
War II and, if the Korean situa-
ton grows more serious, might
face possible recall.
Mr.. Dawson, also chairman of
the country's COP State. Central
Committee, naturally is indorsed
by that group. Mr.. Barbee bears
the Endorsement of the Democratic
State Central Committee, while
Mr.. Mc1nerney has the. support
of a group calling themselves the

0ne-Student Course
Given Negro Pupil
Al Hoffman-Boston

A course in auto mechanics for
one student begins today at Hoff-
man-Boston School for Negroes in
Arlington County.
Richard o. Green, 17-year- old
senior at Hoffman-Boston. yester-
day requested the course which
previously has been taught only at
the Westinghouse High School
for white students. His request
came on the first school day after
the Arlington School Board was
ordered in Alexandria District
Court to provide equal facilities
for white and colored students.
When Richard first asked for
the mechanics instruction, he was
offered four alternatives by As
sistant Supt. of Schools Charles
Walsh. One would have allowed
him to study the course in the
Washington-Lee shop when it was
not being used by white students.
Mr.. Walsh said Richard imme-
diately indicated he would prefer
to study the course at Hoffman
Boston, but wanted first to talk
with his mother. Mr.. Walsh said
he then decided the auto me-
chanics course eventually would
have to be set up at Hoffman
Boston. and thought it might as
well be done right away.
I Mrs. Green said she was not
told of the Washington-Lee pro-
Dosal when q it was decided that
Richard should study the course
at Hoffman-Boston. She said the
only alternatives she heard of
were to ssudy Ill HoiIman-Boston
Or IN d District school with ttii-
ton paid by the Arlington School
Board.
Richard will have L. P. Manville,
jF., as his instructor. Mr.. Manville
teaches the Washington Lee

Egger Cautions
Virginia Settles
On Fiscal Setup
Unsound Relationship
With Stute Is CHARGED
At League Meeting
BY the Associated Press

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va, Sept.
12.-Virginia's municipal officials
were told here today that the
financial relationship between the
State and its cities is essentially
unSound.
The relationship. furthermore,
is leading cities directly to the
type of weakness in financial and
administrative dependence which
in recent years has become char
acteriStic of Virginia counties, as
serted DR.. Rowland Egger.
DR.. Egger, director of the Uni
versity of Virginia's Bureau of
Public Administration, gave his
views in an address prepared for
delivery at the 45th annual con-
vention of the League of Virginia
municipalities.
State Authority Lost.
DR.. Egger. former director OF
the Virginia State budget, said the
State has lost much more au-
thority than it has gained BY
drifting into a system of State and
local financial relations that has
transferred to Richmond many
decisions that should be made in
city halls and county courthouses
Cities and counties should elm
mate unnecessary activities and
reduce unit costs of essential serv-
ices in the interest of economy and
better local financing, DR.. Egger
said@ He advised improvement OF
property assessment, tax collect
ing and accounting, and use OF
nonproperty taxes.
"Self Reliance Disappears"
Financial self-reliance is rap
idly disappearing from all except
the major metropolitan counties
in Virginia" he declared. THE
rate of increase in municipal de-
pendence on State and Federal
funds suggests that in another Is
years municipal parasitism will be
as far advanced as it is in the
counties"
DR.. Egger was one of four prom
inent speakers on the program
as the leagues convention went
into it's final day. Others were
DR.. Huntington Williams, Balti-
more commissioner of health;
Pyke Johnson, president of the
Automotive Safety Foundation,
and Nathaniel Keith, associated
with the Housing and Home FL
nance Agency in Washington.

For those who need further
;Substantiation of their arguments
in favor of the old standby that
"life begins at forty, the follow
ing material might come in han
dy. If it doesn't begin at forty,
at least vitality doesn't wane
thereafter. Positive proof was
obtained in a recent interview
with DR.. Harry Cohn, husband of
fifty-year-old Betty Cohn, who
will attempt to swim the English
Channel this summer along with
many other hopefuls.
DR.. Cohn, whose offices are To-

about his wife'S swim this COM

that he's sure she'll make it in
view of all her previous exper-

Her longest swim, prior to this
attempt at the Channel, was
made by Mrs. Cohn last June Is,

Speaking at a gathering of stu

that the Israel Government fav-

pointed out that in the Korean
case the government identified
itself with the United Nations. It
is "only incidental" that in this
case the United Nations stand is
Identical with that of the West
ern Bloc, he stated.
Mr. Sharett also said that while
Israel is most anxious to pro-
mote friendly relations with all
nations regardless of their inter-
nal regime" it is impossible to
ignore the fact that it is only in
the democratic countries that the
Jewish communities enjoy free
