cipal of a representative from
each district on the first board.
Supported by PTA Council.
At the general election in
November, 1854, all seven members
of the board would be elected.
Among the groups supporting
the bill are the county Civic Fed
Grafton and the County Council OF
IPTA's. The 1850 platform of the
Montgomery Republican party
pledged passage of the bill to
set up a referendum on the issue
but formal support of an elected
School Board has not yet been
given.
The League of Women's Voters
which was instrumental in OBJ
tanning passage of the bill. like
wise has not formally indorseo
the proposed set-up. The League
has scheduled a meeting at moor
Friday at the Chevy Chase Metho-
dist Church to discuss the refer

One opponent, Mrs. Stella B
Werner, Democratic member oi
the County Council, has said INC

provision of the bill. she contends

only announcement made after
wards was that the board revealed
| it had adopted an athletic policy
back in 1916. 1t read:
THAT the board establish as its
athletic policy program that will
produce athletic teams that can
compete successfully with other
teams in the State of Virginia be-
longing to the Southern Confer
ence and to such an extent as it
can be reasonably expected that
the college teams will win more
games than they will lose and
that such a program be estab-
hshed on a sound basis"
| DR.. Marshall described this
policy as vacuum"
| Says McCray Made Schedules.
| Mr.. Shewmake said it was not
a policy which emphasized foot
ball. In fact, he said, it was a
policy of limitation and was the
only time the board had sug-
gested to the college president a
course for the athletic program.
| During McCray's regime" Mr..
SheWmake said, "all football
schedules were made by McCray,
with the approval of DR.. Pom
fret and were never submitted
to the board, nor did the board
interfere in any way"
/ DR.. Marshall disagreed, saying
the board minutes show practical
ly nothing about athletics because
DR.. Pomfret did not make an
attempt to put things in the rec
ord. DR.. Marshall said a group of
Irabid football fans on the board
iput the policy over by suggestion,

He offered to resign and DR.. Pom

Says Pomfret Feared Ruin"
"Dr. Pomfret was a funny man, "
DR.. Marshall unused. HE hated
big-time football with a passing,
yet to work with him you would
never know it."
He related that on auto drives
together, DR.. Pomfret would let
down his hair and curse the poll

Here was a man who believed
otherwise but went along" he
added.
DR.. Marshall embarked on an
investigation that produced star
tling results. On June II, he SUBJ
mitted to the president a series of
specific charges. But. before that
DR.. Pomfret recommended to the
Board of Visitors that Coach Nc
Cray be promoted to a full pro-
fessorship. though he knew DR..
Marshall was investigating him.
Such an act by DR.. Pomfret
was beyond my comprehension"
DR.. Marshall said. II feel pressures
were behind it,"
Mr.. Shewmake, In discussing
this phase of the controversy,
said that the Board of Visitors
knew nothing Of the investigation
by DR.. Marshall when it approved
the promotion of Mr.. McCray. He
recalled that DR.. Pomfret told the

Fight Flares Over Use
Of Red Cross Name
In Waynesboro Drive
By the Associated Press

WAYNESBORO, Va, Oct. 49,
A new fight, with possible legal
repercussions, fared into the open
here today between the American
National Red Cross and the Com
munity Chest.
The Red Cross informed Com
munity Chest officials it would
press a court Injunction to keep
the name "Red Cross" from being
used in any way during Waynes-
boro's "one package" relief drive.
The zone package" method is
that by which several relief Or
ganizations combine forces and
share in the collected donations.
Requires Equal Billing.
The Red Cross policy has been
to shy away from such programs
unless the agency is given equal
billing with the Community Chest.
Shortly after the Red Cross an
nounced it would seek a temporary
injunction to halt use of its name,
Community Chest officials called
Ioff the 'one package drive
scheduled for Tuesday.
Nevertheless, hearing on the
Injunction request will be held in
United States District Court at
Harrisonburg Tuesday.
The Red Cross, after election OF
new directors, decided not to
participate in the local zone
package" campaign.
Offers to Share Funds.
But Community Chest officials
said funds collected during the
drive would be set aside for "wel-
fare and disaster relief" work
often undertaken by the Red
Cross. Grayson Via, president OF
the Community Chest, said the
name RED Cross" would not be
used in the drive. But he did say
funds would be offered to the local
Red Cross chapter.
Otto S. Lund, Eastern area head
of the Red Cross, called on the
Community Chest to refrain from
saying it would offer funds to the
Red Cross. This was one of the
grounds he gave October / in the
agency's original threat of court
action IN the dispute,

Battle lines are being formed in
Montgomery County for last-min-
ute arguments on the issue of
whether the Board of Education
should be elected by the voters or
continue to be appointed by the
Governor.
The voters will decide in a spe-
cial referendum November 6.
The referendum was provided
for in a precedent-shattering bill
introduced by the county delega-
ton and passed by the 1851 Gen
eral Assembly. A similar bill had
been defeated in 1949.
The bill provides that the school
board consist of seven members
instead of the present six. who
would be elected on a non-par.
tisan basis for four-year terms
every four years.
Now Named by Governor.
The Governor now appoints
board members, usually upor
recommendation of the politica
party in power in the particular
county. The present Montgomery
board members were appointed
one each year, to six-year terms
Under the pending setup, nomi'
nations for the board would b.
made by petition of 500 voting
residents for candidate-at-largt
and 200 petitioning signatures fo1
district candidates. The boarc
would have a member for each O.
the five council districts and TIVE
members at large.
At present, the Governor alst
fills any vacancies arising on th'
board with interim appointments
The new system provides that tht
remaining board members choose
a person to fill any vacancy.

seven school board members quit
Critics See "J0kers" in Bill.
Sponsors of the bill admit some
provision should be made for mas.
designations and said they will
try to get it amended If it is ap'
proved at the polls.
Another "joker" in the bill, &C.
cording to some of its opponents
| is that it does not provide specific
procedures for the first election
of school board members iL
November, 1862.
The bill provides. roughly, that
the three most-recently appointed
board members be held over ano
that four members will be elected
next November, but it does moi
say from where they would be
elected.
State Senator Dewitt Hyde
Montgomery Republican, said the
first four members would be
elected at large in the first elec-
ton because that is the only
way we could comply with the
intent of the law" He said it i.

closed future date. The entire

confidence so avoid bad publicity

The faculty was enraged, DR.
Marshall said, when shortly after

similar statements. On August

prise. As an. example,, he said,
when the Both Congress reduced
taxes, the total national income
increased because of the eXpan-
sion of business.
The congressman said the adj
ministration is using the wrong
approach to control Initiation by
the use of price controls. Con-
trolling prices is attacking the
result = not the cause Of in
flation, he said. Initiation can
be controlled by a sound feder-
al fiscal policy and curbing of
credits. He added that many
bills passed since 1882 which
tend to create initiation still are
on the books and should be re-
<pealed.
He said he believes that the
administration has sufficient
power to fight initiation if it
were used in the right way. The
82nd Congress defeated a num-
Der of bills asked for by the
President, designed to delegate
more power to the adminiStra-
tive branch. One such bill,
D'Ewart said, would have given
the President power to control
business through licensing of
all business.
Present ALLEGATION of strategic
metals such as copper and
aluminium is necessary, at least
for the present, the speaker
said, and we must live with it
in the national interest.
Congressman D'Ewart said
that during his contacts over
the state he has gained confid-
ence that more people are tax
ing an interest in government
affairs, which he said is a
healthy situation for the ma
ton.

can be done about it at the
present time remains a prob

Reviewing the 82nd Congress,
the speaker said that it has
appropriated sufficient funds
for an adequate defense pro-
gram, while Republicans, with
the aid of some southern
Democrats had succeeded in
defeating a number of Fair Deal
and socialistic proposals which
President Truman had asked
for.

D'EWart said. "The Communists
can not be trusted to respect

is the best insurance against
communism"
The congressman said he
agrees with a policy advocated
in a talk by Herbert Hoover and
also favored by Senator Taft,
namely, to measure the nations

ity and to stay within that linn
it. He said the present admin

nations economy in appropriate

D'Ewart said he voted against
the foreign aid bill which asked
for 8 billion dollars, because

An over-appropriation, he said,
