Battle 's45-MiI|ion Bill
For New Schools Is
Near Senate Test
BY the Asseciofed Press

RICHMOND, Jan. 81. Gov.
Battles bill to give $4,000, 900 to
localities for school construction
reached its first hurdle today in
the Senate Finance Committee.
Senator Garland Gray of Wav-
erly was ready to propose an
amendment requiring that the To-
calities match the State grants
dollar for dollar. This is in line
with the recommendation of the
Virginia Tax Study Commission,
of which he was chairman.
The Assembly yesterday re-
ceived two more proposals to re-
peal the poll tax, both from Sen
ators Edward L. Breeder, jr., and
Robert F. Baldwin. jr., of Norfolk.
One was bill, previously an
nounced by Mr.. Breeder and Mr..
Baldwin, which would call for a
referendum limited to the question
OF holding constitutional con-
vention to repeal the poll tax as
a prerequisite to voting and regis
tration. This is the short method.
1t appeared today that this pro-
posal had run into stormy weather
and that, therefore, they intro
duced an alternate "long-method''
resolution.
The second proposal must pass
this session of the General As
sembly, the next session and then
be voted upon by the people. It
would:
1. Prohibit the requirement of
any tax, assessment or fee as a
prerequisite to vote.
2, Enable the General Assembly
to prescribe a reasonable test as
to literacy, uniformly admin
istered.
8. Provide for an annual re-
newal of registration. as the Gen
eral Assembly may prescribe, pro-
viding that the deadline shall not
be more than 80 days before any
general. primary or special cleo
ton.
4. Permit the renewal of reg
1stration by voting In the previous
year, or by appearing personally
before the registrar or by such
additional methods as may be pro-
vided by law.
Senator Breeder said what hap
pens in Congress, on the Federal
poll tax repeater, would determine
which bill he and Senator Bald
win would push. He said they
favored the long method. If the
Congress approves the Federal
bill, however, 1T might then be-
come the better part of wisdom
to promptly call a limited con-
stitutional convention, as this
permits speedier action"
The House yesterday passed the
Guy bill to require that the super
intendent of a mental hospital
shall issue a warrant and notify
the authorities when an inmate
escapes. 1t received bill to re-
move the exemption of labor
unions from the States anti
monopoly laws.

Use Of Bodies
In Experiiments
Stirs Protest
Low Passed in lo4o
Gives Maryland Right
ToUncIoimed Remains
By the Associote-, Press

FREDERICK, Md, Jan. 81
Incredulous State officials learned
Yesterday that unclaimed human
bodies are used for experimental
ton.
Amazed to hear of a law passed
by the 1949 Maryland Legislature,
the officials filed immediate pro-
| test.
1 DR.. Russell Fisher, State Medi-
cal Examiner, explained terms Of
the new law to a group of medical
examiners and States attorneys
in conference here. The officials
were from Montgomery, Washing
ton and Carroll Counties.
Corpses Allotted to Schools.
Under terms of the law. I'M
claimed bodies must be turned over
to the State Anatomy Board. The
board. in turn, allots the corpses
to medical schools for experimental
purposes,
Loud protests came quickly from
the conferees. One of the first to
comment was States Attorney Ed
win F. Nikirk of Frederick County.
He declared:
AL the furore raised about dog
snatching will seem but a gentle
breeze to the violent storm of pro-
test which will arise against the
snatching of human bodies.
Il am utterly amazed and
shocked that such a bill should
be passed by the Legislature with
out the provisions of the measure
being brought to the attention of
local authorities who are respon-
sible for its enforcement.
Would Avoid Burden.
Il cannot bring myself to be-
lieve that as public officer the
burden should ever be placed on
my conscience to decide whether
the body of a deceased person
should be turned over to an anat-
omy board for distribution to
medical schools for the purposes
set out in the law"
A public hearing was held be-
fore the bill passed the Legislature.
The seminar was one of a series
being arranged by DR.. Fisher to
explain the new statutes and
others affecting law enforcement
officials and the deputy medical
examiners.

A lifetime partnership in cour-
age-that's the story of Mr.. anc
Mrs. Floyd G. Beaver.
With single variation, theirs
is the not uncommon story OF
childhood sweethearts who even
tually married and lived rather
happily ever afterward.
The Beavers, who have one 10
year-old daughter, live at 1112
Raum street NE, as normally as
any family in the city. Each
morning it's off to. work at the
General Accounting Office for
Mr.. Beaver, while his wife Lille
busies herself with the usual
housewife duties-cooking. laun-
dering and keeping their apart
ment as spotless as a hospital
ward.
81 can do all the things any
woman does" said Mrs. Beaver,
not without a tinge of pride in
her voice. And although he han
dies his job as competently as any
other GAO transportation special
list, her husbands only regret is
that in his youth he didn't take
some other line of work-"like
watch repairing"
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Beaver were
stricken with infantile paralysis
in early childhood, at time when
all the doctors could offer them
was life on crutches. Since
about 1925. however, both have
been walking with the aid of a
cane-and asking no favors of life
Il didn't get on my feet until
was 49," related Mr.. Beaver. II
was then that a neighbor made
him a pair of crutches, and each
morning gave the youthful cripple
a painstaking lesson in how to
walk until I learned to sling my
self along"

GreenbeIt Residents
Name Two Boards 10
Handle Sale Of Town

Two boards Of directors were
chosen blythe Greenbelt Veteran
Housing Corp. last night to ar
range purchase of the community
from the Federal Government.
Seven veterans compose one
board and an advisory second
board is made up of non-veterans.
The arrangement enables Green
belt to gain veterans preference
| in buying the city. Such prefer
ence was authorized by Congress
Heretofore. directors included
both veterans and non-veterans
The corporation represents more
than two-thirds Of the 1900 fam
lilies in Greenbelt.
Members of the twin boards
were named by 300 members al
the annual election meeting.
Board Members Listed.
On the veterans board are
Bruce Bowman, the Rev. Eric T
Braund, Benjamin Goldfaden
Henry r. Pearlman. President
Michael H. Saltzman, Morris A
Sandhaus and j. Walsh Barcus.
These members were elected tc
the advisory board: Paul Borsky
Sherred East, Wells B. Harring-
ton, Mrs. E. w. Meredith, Thomas
H. Richie, Anthony Madden and
George Eshbaugh.
Mr.. Saltzman urged members to
unite in order to be ready for the
community's sale. This is expect
ed within two months.
THE time is short" he said
"Our big problem today is that
Greenbelt residents can't seem tc
get together. We must put aside
all cliques and factions and pre-
sent a united front in the pur-
chase of our community"
Agreement Is Urged.
These sentiments were echoed
by Mrs. Elizabeth Harrington
Greenbelt Mayor. During a con.
troversy over Mr.. Salzman's al.
legged personal ambitions" in the
housing group, Mrs. Harrington
declared: s.
SIT is most unfortunate that we
should come here to agree, anc
the meeting turns into a fussine
session. =
Our homes are at stake. Un-
less we unite and show initiative
outsiders will buy our homes. We
must overcome division and vim.
dictiveness."
She moved that the non-veterar
board be incorporated with the
veterans board after sale of the
community. Her resolution was
adopted unanimously.
Another resolution authorizes
the directors to retain counsel for
negotiations with the Public Hous-
ing Administration. Still another
provides that the housing group
be empowered to set up it's own
development agency to handle
new construction.
Greenbelt consists OF about 5000
acres, less than one-quarter OF
which is built up. 49,

Falls Church was approved by res
idents last night at a final city
council hearing.

by the council after two public

council will meet tomorrow or
Monday to take formal action.

warded to the General Assembly
at Richmond, where a two thirds
vote of both houses is required for
passage.

last night eliminated earlier
provisions permitting the coun-
Gil to issue bonds without refer

use of utilities. Both powers
were sharply criticized at earlier
hearings.

ton of city manager, according to
a report of the charter commits
sion, is that of assistant to the

councilmen from each ward. Only
two persons favored retention of

ton until the council officially
chooses someone to fill the post.

position, was provision giving a
new director OF finance super

tuning in a favorite program.
On and after that date, if they

hoping to get Station VOL. they II
get WWDC. If they tune to 1850,
thinking to get WWDC, they'll be
listening to VOL.
But to top it off, the VOL they
get won't be the same one they
used to listen to. If, for instance,
they want a Mutual Broadcasting
System program, they'll have to
turn to 1890, Station WEAM.
