Teacher Job Turnover
For Term Climbs 10
70 in Montgomery

The turnover in Montgomery
County school achers has
equaled, in a half-year, the total
for the entire school year of 1949-
SO, with more than 10 appoint
ments made so far.
Ten male teachers have been
lost to the armed services, School
Supt. Edwin w. Broome told the
Board of Education yesterday, and
many others have left for reasons
connected with the current emer-
gency.
The board approved appoint
ment of 81 new teachers at its
meeting and enthusiastically gave
DR.. Broome permission to make a
study of teacher refresher courses
designed to qualify out-of- practice
former teachers for county posts.
The board members criticized the
practice of regarding teachers as
of secondary Importance in con-
nection with the emergency. The
draft law was criticized because it
does not grant deferments to
teachers.
DR.. Broome gave the board an
outline of civilian defense mea-
sures that should be considered
for neutrality-suspicious. of pupil
safety and how schools might
serve a community in crisis, both
by training children to meet the
emergency and by serving as de-
fense and relief centers.
Board action yesterday included
approval of an initial contract of
S257,0 900 for an addition to the
Oakland Terrace Elementary
School. The contract. made with
the H. o. McAlister Co.. calls for
10 classrooms, library. kitchen
and all-purpose room.
Also approved was an expendi-
ture of $4,000 to $4,000 to tile the
Railways sof the Laytonsville
School. now under construction.
This action was to meet demands
of Laytonsville parents who said
cinder block walls meant expen-
sive maintenance. The board
warned, however. that the money
could be obtained only by cut
ting somewhere else in the
Laytonville school construction.

out.
Judo probably originated in
China and came to Japan more
than 1000 years ago, Comdr.
Wheeler explained. Centuries ago.
Japanese peasants were forbidden
weapons, so they had to develop
other methods of self defense.
You never get hurt, Comdr.
Wheeler said. if you fall correctly
There are two basic rules" he
explained. Never hit your head
on the ground, and never hit the
earth with the base of your spine
when you fall"
There are about 80 hand holds,
80 ways of throwing your attacker,
80 ways of graphing and some 80
combinations of holds and ma
neuvers. Then there are innum-
cradle variations of them all.
Warrant Officer Murphy, 35, of
5420 Connecticut avenue NV,
picked up judo in one of Comdr
Wheeler'S classes at the Bethesda
Naval Hospital. Mr.. Barnes, who
is in the Office of the Army Chief
of Staff, learned his judo from the
Singapore police, and Comdr
Wheeler became interested back
in 1945 in Hawaii.
The judo club at the Pentagon
has had only one casualty since il
was started in l945. That was a
Sprained ankle.

Annexed Land Back
Under Fairfax Rule
After Court Decree

About 1000 persons and rs
square miles were back within the
boundaries of Fairfax County to-
day after nine days under Alex
andria administration.
The switch resulted from a de-
cision in Fairfax County Circuit
Court yesterday suspending the
Alexandria-F Fairfax annexation
decree for 30-day period.
A three-judge annexation court
on December 10 awarded Alex
andria the land it sought from
Fairfax County-effective January
l. On New Years day, the city
moved in with sign posts, garbage
trucks, police cars, and all, before
the county started an appeal.
The suspension yesterday was
granted on the county's motion to
permit Fairfax time to carry the
case before the Virginia Supreme
Court. The judges held, however
that the disputed territory was
part of Alexandria between Jan
uary l and today.
After the hearing, Judge Paul
Brown explained that once the
case is before the Supreme Court,
the suspension of the annexation
decree is in effect until the higher
court acts on the matter.
Sitting with Judge Brown in
the annexation case were Judges
Walter T. Mccarthy of Arling-
ton and jeff Walter of Accomac.
Attorney Robert j. McCandlish,
jr.. argued for the county that
there would be IAN intolerable
situation" unless the annexation
order was suspended.
He said people did not know
where to record deeds, merchants
did not know if they had to buy
city business licenses while Alex
andria claimed jurisdiction and
Fairfax proceeded with the appeal.
"It is our feeling that the city
is proceeding forward at a swift
rate because they fear they will
not collect 1851 taxes from the
area" said Mr.. McCandlish. IF
the appeal is refused they'll get
the taxes"
"On January l the county had
not even started an appeal. Alex
andria had no choice but to move
in" Horace Edwards, attorney for
the city, said.

Sasscer 10 Re-0ffer
Area Advisory Bill

Representative Sasscer, Demo-
crat, of Maryland plans to re-
introduce soon in the House his
bill to set up an advisory COM
mission to study coordination of
activities in the entire Washing
ton Metropolitan Area.
In view of the increased con-
cern over civil defense needs, Mr..
Sasscer, who represents the near
by area including Prince Georges
County. said he feels there will
be much more support for his
measure than there was in the
last Congress.
He plans to put the bill before
the House in it's original form
providing for a nine ad-
visory commission. But if he finds
there is any conflict between il
and the proposal before the 81st
Congress for recognizing the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, he will attempt to
resolve the differences.
MY BILL" he explained, would
give no authority to such an ad-
visory group, because it might run
into the sovereignty of the juris-
diction of the States of both
Maryland and Virginia.
1T would not set up body
like the New York Port Authority
but would attempt to recommend
coordination of activities in the
District, Maryland and Virginia
that cross State lines"
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee has ex-
pressed personal interest in his
bill, Mr.. Sasscer said, and is ex-
pected to urge consideration of the
whole problem of area co-ordi-
nation by the District Committee.
