An Arlington Democratic leader
carged today that posters adver-
tlsing the candidacy of Daniel A
Dugan, non partisan candidate for
reelection to the County Board
have been nailed on utility poles
and trees in violation of the law
The charge was made by Harri-
son Mann. chairman of the
county's Democratic Executive
Committee, in a letter to County
Manager A. T. Lundberg.
Mr.. Mann said the placards
nave been up more than a week
despite an ordinance forbidding
such a practice.
I want to know" Mr.. Mann
wrote. IF the county authorities
consider Mr.. Dugan to be above
the law because he is chairman of
the County Board. Either the law
should be enforced or it should be
removed from the books. :"
Mr.. Lundberg said he had not
yet received the letter, but C, L,
kinnler, county planning engi-
neer, said workmen had been re-
moving the posters all week.
He said they were put up Sum-

PRINCIPAL Concern of Voters

er of revenue; their duties would
be combined under a finance Off
Ger to be appointed.
2. Give the Board of Supervi-
sors power to appoint the County
School Board. At present. the
School Board is chosen by a group
Of citizens named by the Circuit
judge to perform this one duty
3. Give the supervisors the right
to appoint the chief of police. The
appointment now is made by the
Circuit judge.
Two Principal Differences.
There are two principal differ
ences in the proposed forms of
government:
/. Method of electing supervis-
ors. Under the executive" plan,
the supervisors would continue to
be elected as they are now. Each
magisterial district would choose
its own. by itself. Under the
manager" plan the entire coun-
ty would vote on the makeup of
the entire board. One supervisor
must come from each district,
however.
2. Method Of making key ap-
pointments. Under the executive
plan. the supervisors would ap-
point heads of departments. Their
county executive would be limited
to making recommendations. Un-
der the manager plan, the county
manager would make the key ap-
pointments and fix salaries-with
approval of the board.

Butler Hits 1ydings
For Whiiewash' Of
State Department

John Marshall Butler, Mary
lands Republican candidate for
Senator. declared last night that
this country never will know
whether there are now, or have
ever been, Communists in the State
Department. as long as Senator
Tydings is is Congress.
Mr.. Butler, who is running
against the Democratic Senator
in the latter's bid for fifth
term, made the statement at a
COP Beat Tydings" rally in Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase High School
He met with loud applause from
the approximately $50 persons at
tending the rally, as he accused
Senator Tydings of "whitewash-
ing" the Senate investigation OF
charges by Senator Mccarthy, Re-
publican, of Wisconsin, that Com
munists have inf1ltrated the State
Department.
This hatchet man Of the Tru-
man Administration had two al
ternatives when Senator Mccarthy
made his charges" Mr.. Butler said
"He could either investigate the
charges or investigate Senator Nc
Carthy. He chose the latter
course, and the result was white
wash"
Mr.. Butler, a Baltimore attor-
ney, contended his opponent has
"studiously avoided" the issues of
the campaign and has failed to
stand up for his party when the
going gets rough"
II claim this man, who is the
third ranking Democrat in the
Senate and who heads the i'm
portant Senate Armed Services
Committee, cannot duck the re-
sponsibilities of his own admin
istration for its actions" Mr.. But
Ter asserted.
AS part of these responsibilities.
Mr.. Butler said the Democratic
Administration had spent 500 bill
lion for defense, "but we found
ourselves miserably unprepared
when the Korean war broke out. "
why were we so woefully un-
prepared" Mr.. Butler. asked
when it is a matter of record
that. 80 days in advance. Army
intelligence sent to the Senate
Armed Services Committee in
formation about when the attack
was coming and what it would
consist Of?
There have been many such
blunders by the national admin
istration, and Senator Tydings is
part and parcel of thet admin
istration.s We can't afford to play
around with people who play
around with our security"
Other speakers at the meeting
sponsored by the Rock Greek
Women's Republican Club, includ-
ed States Attorney Walter w
Dawson, who is running for re-
election, and Dewitt S. Hyde

Falls Church Group
Hits Giving Assembly
School Merger Rights

The proposed constitutional
amendment that would permit
the Virginia General Assembly to
consolidate city and county
school divisions is "a dangerous
threat to local self-government,
the Committee for Home Rule in
Falls Church declared last night
1--WE are reluctant to oppose
anything that might mean more
economical operation of schools
in some parts Of the State" the
committee said. "but the amend
ment fails to require consent OF
the people in areas where schools
and school boards might be
merged or abolished"
The committee met at the
Teen Canteen. The group also is
supporting in next Tuesdays
referendum and election con-
tinued appointment of the city
attorney.
The committees statement con.
tinued:
Several actions of the Genera,
Assembly in recent years make
us believe this amendment woulo
be a particular threat to home
rule in Falls Church and other
Northern Virginia communities.
Fairfax County succeeded ir
getting law through the General
Assembly that would have kept
Falls Church from ever regainine
its own school system-a law the
courts ruled unconstitutional. This
year, the General Assembly over
ruled the voters of Alexandria
who had voted to have non-parti-
san elections, and the Falls Church
oity Council, which had approved
an elected school board in it's new
charter.
I'VE believe the only way Vir-
ginians can be sure their local
wishes will be respected" the
committee added, sis to defeat
the proposed amendment next
Tuesday and ask at a later date
that the proposal be rewritten tc
require a local referendum or
school mergers"

heard the city's plea for rs square

Also on the bench are Judges

Hearing Unusually Brief.
The case opened October II
The 15-day hearing is unusually
brief for an annexation case. Hor-
ace Edwards, counsel for the city
noted in his argument yesterday
that there had not been the eric

case that existed when Falls
Church unsuccessfully attempted
to annex county territory last
summer.
Falls Church officials say they
will appeal that decision.
Robert j. McCandlish, counsel
for the county, told the court, "It
is our view that there can be no
annexation of a sanitary district
where a SO million bond issue,
repayable rs per cent by service
charges, is outstanding"
Almost all the annexable area,
west OF the city, is in the county S
Sanitary District No. /. The bond
issue was approved last year to

Objection Called Technically.
It would be impossible, Mr.. Nc
Candlish said, to determine just
proportion of the sanitary districts
debt. Splitting the sanitary dis
trict, he said, would present Gin
surmountable obstacles"
Mr.. Edwards charged the county
was injecting technicality" into
the proceedings. He quoted state
ments of county officials before
the bond issue was passed that
annexation would not adversely
affect the rights of bondholders.

Board
on
Building Costs
Architects to Speak
OrSehooI Designs
Called 'Extrovogont'

With a referendum on a $7.5
million school construction bond
issue less than a week away, the
Arlington School Board tonight
will hold a special meeting to dis
cuss building costs.
| The meeting was called today,
a board announcement said, "be-
cause of the misinformation that
is being spread throughout the
county in an attempt to mislead
the voters concerning the
referendum"
The meeting follows by a day
the release of 24-page citizens
group report accusing the School
Board of extravaganza" in it's
building program. News stories
on the report of a special School
Committee of the Arlington Ridge
Civic Association appeared in yes
terday's papers.
Architects to Be Present.
I'VE wish to correct erroneous
statements which have been
made the School Board an
nouncement declared. School ar
chitects, who have designed
schools in both Arlington and
Montgomery Counties will be at
the meeting to discuss compare
tive costs which have been pub
lished."
The meeting will open at 8
O'Clock in the library of the
Thomas Jefferson Junior High
School on South Fillmore, street.
The Arlington Ridge Civic As
sociation last night adopted reso-
luton emphazing that the special
committee report was not intend
ed to have any connection with
the referendum. The study was
begun last June before the bond
issue was set, Capt. Lucius w.
Dunn, u. S. N. (retiredD, associa-
ton president, pointed out.
Release Approved.
Release of the, report had been
approved by the special commit
tee and the Executive Commit
tee, Capt. Dunn said, and it had
been read at meetings of each
group by Special Committee
Chairman Leon Bryner, although
no copies were given to members
of either committee, Capt. Dunn
said. Mr.. Bryner said he did not
have facilities for. making more
copies than the six or seven" that
were made. None was given COM
mittee members nor sent to the
School Boards he said. The latter
will get a copy today, however, he
said.
Release of the report was criti-
cized severely last night by sew
eraI association members, who
termed it 'iII-t1med." The report,
itself, however, was not criticized,
The associations resolution de-
clared that the group wishes to
make clear that it's objective in
undertaking the study is to
contribute constructively to more
effective use of Arlington's limited
school building funds and not in
any way to influence public con-
sideration of the bond issue"
Action on the report was deferred
until the December meeting.
