State Board Approves
Voting Machines for
Localities in Virginia
By the Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, Va. Jan. 6.-The
State Board Of Elections yesterday
approved two types of voting
machines for use by Virginia
localities. The board also recon-
mended several minor changes in
State election laws.
1t took no action, however. on
the controversial absent voters
statute. repeal of which has been
advocated by several members OF
the General Assembly.
The session was called to inspect
the voting machines at the request
of the Arlington County Electoral
Board. which plans to use the
devices In its heavy-voting pre-
cincts. If Arlington utilizes the
machines they will be the first in
the State.
The board watched demonstra-
tions Of the machines Of the Auto
matte Voting Machine Corp.
Jamestown. N. Y, and of the
Shoup Voting Machine Corp.
Philadelphia. :.
Changes proposed in election
laws are aimed at eliminating
conflicts and inconsistencies left
by amendments to the election
code, Levin Mock Davis, secretary
Of the board, said.
In the interests of uniformity
the board would have all candi-
dates in general elections qualify
not later than so days before the
election. This is the deadline pre-
vailing for local candidates, but
State and National Office seekers
have until 80 days before election
day to qualify.
The board also proposed that
all counties have a uniform pay
scale for judges, clerks and reg
istrars of elections. Present law
sets a general rate of IS but al
lows some counties to pay up to
SO or $12 a day. The board did
not propose a specific figure, but
thought the rate should be higher
than SIS, Mr.. Davis reported.

Citizens Group Opposes
Proposed Golf Range

The Montgomery County Board
OF Zoning Appeals yesterday re-
ceived vigorous protests against
the proposed establishment of a
golf driving range in a fashion,
able section on River road, near
the Kenwood Golf and Country
Club.
Members of the Kenwood Citi-
zens' Association and residents of
the new Springfield subdivision
asked the board to block the ap-
plication filed by j. Munro Hunter,
a well-known professional golfer
of former years.
Mr.. Hunter wants to establish
a driving range for golf pupils
on 100 acres of the Scott Appleby
property.
The protesting group said they
feared property devaluation would
result. They said it might at
tract an "unwelcome element" to
their residential area, prove to be
an eyesore and increase traffic
hazards.

Arlington Hearing Set
Wednesday on School
Promotion Policy

Arlington residents will be
given an opportunity to air their
views on the question of an an
nual promotion policy for county
schools at a hearing at 8 pm.
Wednesday in the Thomas jeff
erson Junior High School, 816
South Fillmore street.
In addition, the question of
public ownership of school buses
will be discussed.
At the same meeting the School
Board will elect a new chairman
and install E. r. Draheim, newly
elected member. Mr.. Draheim
succeeds O. Glenn Stahl, whose
two-year term expired January /.
Mr.. Stahl declined to run for re-
election.
Barnard Joy now is board
chairman. but announced some
time ago he would resign the post
this month.
Arlington schools now operate
on the semester plan with promo
tions in February and June. Pupils
enter school in September and
February. 1t is one of two sys-
TENS in the Washington area
which retain the semester plan.
The other is Alexandria.
Under the annual promotion
plan students enter only in Sep
tember and are promoted in June.
Any change would affect future
first-graders in that the board
probably would change the en-
trance requirements as to age.
Now September beginners must
be six years old by September 80
and children starting their educa-
ton at the February term must be
six years old by March l.
This question will be discussed
at the hearing.
Both teachers and pupils are
dissatisfied with the present
transportation system under which
children are taken to and from the
junior and senior high schools in
specifically routed buses of two
commercial lines. Because the
companies say they do not have a
sufficient number Of vehicles to
carry the regular rush-hour pas
sengers and school children at the
same hours, students are forced
to wait until $3.50 am. to begin
classes.
Because of this, 1t has been sug-
gested that Arlington maintain
it's own fleet of school buses. They
also could be used to transport
elementary students from crowded
schools to those with more room.
School Supt. William A. Early
said that although the School
Board is unlikely to purchase
enough buses to handle the entire
transportation problem. the board
would like to know what residents
think of the proposal.

Two Nearby County
Chests 10 Consider
Post-Drive Budgeting

Community Chests of two near
by counties soon will consider
whether to follow Washington S
United Community Services in
changing their budgeting .proce-
dure, it was learned today.
UCS. which distributes Chest
funds to SO charities in the Dis
Itrict. yesterday announced plans
to abandon budgeting in advance
of future Chest fund drives. The
organization said that, from now
on, 1t will wait until after it sees
how much money has been raised
before allocating it to member
agencies.
Chest officials in Montgomery
County will consider a similar
move at a meeting next Monday,
and Fairfax leaders will take up
the matter next Thursday, execu-
tive directors in the two counties
said.
Lean Toward Plan.
Both Louis Orgera, director in
Montgomery, and George Stewart,
director in Fairfax, said they are
favorably inclined to the plan.
Washington and the county Chest
groups are independent except in
fund-raising, which is managed
by the Community Chest Fedora
tion covering the entire area.
Two other county Chests, in
Arlington and Prince Georges, al
ready have adopted the post
campaign budgeting scheme. In
Prince Georges, Chest Director
Edward Di Bella said it has been
in effect for the last four years.
Arlington leaders started the new
system last fall.
Only the Alexandria Chest has
no present plans for considering
the adoption of the scheme, a
check with officials there dis
closed. E. Austin Thompson,
Alexandria Chest director, said
the idea undoubtedly would come
up for discussion but that he per-
sonally is opposed to it.
Alexandria Oversubscribed.
Mr.. Thompson said he believes
advance budgeting is necessary to
give the contributor a concrete
idea of why his money is needed.
Alexandria was the only area COM
munity to exceed it's Chest quota
in this winters campaign-it made
104 per cent.
The UCS move, approved by its
Executive Committee this week,
was based on the fact that the
budgets prepared before past
campaigns almost never have been
met. One and sometimes two
revisions downward have been re-
quired every year, constituting a
waste of both time and money,
officials said.
In this winters Chest drive, a
1852 900 cut in the original budget
was made by the Campaign Com
mittee even before the drive
opened. Failure to reach the goal
meant another cut of about $434,-
1000. While final allocations have
not been made. the drive failure
leaves UCS about: $400, 900 short
of what its original budget called
| for.
Edward H. Keyes, executive d.
rector of the Chest Federation,
said he expects the UCS action
will come up for discussion at a
federation Executive Committee
meeting, tentatively planned for
January 18. ALLEGATIONS for 1850
to all six Chests are expected to
be announced at that time, he
added.

Support Bill on
District Firen1en
Prince Georges Group
Asks Benefits to Cover
Injury Outside City

A bill before Congress to per-
init Washington firemen to help
fight fires in adjacent counties
without losing their benefits in
case of injury was indorsed last
night by the Prince Georges Coun-
ty Civic Federation.
The group, which tabled a SIM
liar resolution month ago, this
time voted for it after Walter F.
Mulligan, its reelected president,
reported Prince Georges County
f1remen already are adequately
protected. Last month some dele
gates said the measure failed to
provide for Maryland firemen
who go into the District.
Mr.. Mulligan said he based his
report on information supplied by
an official of the county Volunteer
Firemen's Association.
Laws Cover Firemen.
state laws cover our firemen
and protect them either in or out
of their jurisdiction" Mr.. Multi
gan declared.
Daniel M. Greene of Avondale,
sponsor Of the resolution, said he
revised ii since the last meeting.
He urged that copies of it be sent
to the House District Committee
and to Representative Sasscer.
Democrat, of Maryland, who in
troduced the bill.
Mr.. Mulligan and the entire
slate recommended by a three
man nominating committee were
elected unanimously. 1t will be
Mr.. Mulligan's 18th consecutive
term in Office. The retired Gov
eminent Printing Office employe
lives in Berwyn.
Other officers are Albert F..
Bird, representative of the Temple
Hills Citizens Association, first
vice president; Jacob G. Palmer,
Landover Suburban Citizens As
sociation, second vice president:
Miss Catherine Donnelly, Beaver
Heights Citizens Association, cor
responding secretary; Mrs. Gene
We've C. Stewart, Stephens Citi-
zens' Association of Riverdale, re-
cording secretary, and Fred M.
Cast, Cheverly Citizens Associa-
ton. treasurer. Mr.. Palmer and
Miss Donnelly are the only new
ones.
Renamed as members of the
Executive Committee were Mr..
Greene, who represents the Queens
Chapel Citizens Association:
Frank Fierstein, Bladensburg, and
Richard Bauers, Rogers Heights.
School Plan Discussed.
Much of last nights session at
the County Service Building. Hy-
attsville, was devoted to discus
sion of a 12-month school plan,
urged by Don S. Patterson, as
sistant director of elementary and
secondary schools for the Federal
Office of Education.
Mr.. Patterson said the plan
would put vacations on a quarter
ly rotation basis and thus relieve
classroom congestion. He conced-
ed the system would prevent some
teachers from, taking special
courses themselves. He predicted
principal objections would come
from parents who oppose any
change in present schedules. =.
Both he and Mr.. Mulligan
warned against school overbuild-
ing, asserting conditions may
change and expenses will increase.
The association adopted a reso-
luton by George 1ckes of Bowie
asking the General Assembly to
repeal State law permitting the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission to have water con-
