A truck with a 500-gallon tank
has been hired to haul water to
Great Cacapon, an unincorporated

which has been slowly drying up

Former School Board
In Falls Church Spent
Legally, Lawyer Says

Expenditures for building i'm.
provements and attorneys fees
by the former Falls Church School
Board were in accordance with
provisions Of the city charter, for
mer City Attorney LaRue Van
Meter said today.
Last week, Douglas A. Clark,
attorney for the Falls Church
School Emergency Committee, ac-
cused the former board of spend
ing public funds Illegally. The
board had no right to authorize
payments for improvements to
two temporary rented buildings
or to pay fees to an attorney re-
tanned after the City Council be-
gan an investigation of the board,
Mr.. Clark contended.
Mr.. Clark said he will ask Fair
fax County Commemorative At
torney Hugh B. Marsh to take ac-
tion to recover the money.
Mr.. Van Meter said he had ad-
vised the old Board that the char
ter gives the board power to "ac-
quire, construct, maintain and
equip" buildings, and also the
power to acquire them "by gift,
bequest, purchase or lease"
The charter also gives the
board the right to employ coun-
sci, Mr.. Van Meter said. The
State Supreme Court has even
held that fines levied against
school boards can be paid from
public funds, he added.

County School Board
Accused Of Trying TO
Crush lis Critics

James r. Miles. sr., of Arlington
said today that "the school
boards castigation of me last
Tuesday night showed very clearly
the extent to which they will GO
to crush any one who dares to
question their policies
He is suing the board to prevent
the teaching of a course called
core" in the 9th grade. The course
is a combination of English and
social studies.
Tuesday night Mr.. Miles refused
to apologize for accusing Supt.
William A. Early of misinforming
the public regarding State Board
Iof Education approval of ''core."
Mr.. Miles said the boards request
for an apology publicly embar-
rassed" him.
At that time Mr.. Early insisted
he had reported to the board that
two employees of the State Depart
ment of Education indicated the
course is within prescribed stand
ards. The county school heads
backed him up with a resolution
claiming that "the attack upon the
superintendent is unfair and un-
justified.
Mr.. Miles said today that news
paper reporters present at the
meeting heard his statement and
drew exactly that same inference
(of deception) from his remarks. "
He said newspaper accounts went
undenied by Mr.. Early.
Mr.. Miles said that "the failure
OF the board members to chastise
their top administrator for prac-
ticing deception in a formal school
board meeting makes one wonder
whether or not they themselves
were not parties to the deception. /"
A discussion of the controversial
subject will be presented by the
school board at a public meeting
at 8 o'clock tonight in Stratford
