Virginia Press Group
To Present Awards
AT Session Tonight
BY the Assoeioted Press

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Jan
20.-The three-day mid-wintel
meeting of the Virginia Press
Association will be concluded
here tonight with the presenta
ton of writing and photography
awards to state newspapermen.
Several business meetings and
round table discussions are on
the agenda. The luncheon speaker
was to be Charles P. CORY, AS
sociated Press photographer in
Korea. He will speak on shooting
pictures of shooting police
action"
Gen. Mark Clark, chief of the
Army field forces, was expected
to visit the gathering of pub
fishers and editors during the day
An optimistic view of the
Korean situation was presented
here last night by Relman NORM
Associated Press special CORES
pondent, who returned from
Korea last month.
'As long as we have people o1
the fiber of the American troops
in Korea, equipped with the
proper weapons, we have nothing
to worry about" Mr.. NORM said
American troops. he noted, "car
be overrun and taken prisone,
but they do not break.
you are safe with line o1
doughboys out in front of YOU
The correspondent said Ameri-
can troops were not pushed back
by superior anything-just num-
bers."
Finding an attitude of despair
over Korea at home astonisheo
and shocked Mr.. NORM. The
campaign in Korea, he said, was
not total loss since it taught the
Army much about the use OF
weapons and clarified the politi-
cal situation.
Mr.. NORM said he disagreed
with the correspondents who SAID
American Army intelligence failed
to estimate the size of the Chinese
force near the Yalu River.
Suppose they (the United Ma.
tions commanders had known
that $4,000 or more Chinese were
there?" he asked. IF you haC
been a commander what woulc
you have done? Wait for them tx
attack? I think I would have
attacked because it was the only
way to determine the size of tht
force and the intentions of the
Chinese government"

Bill Filed 10 Remove
Teacher Pay |nequities

Representative Abernethy, DEM
ocrat. of Mississippi, has intro
duced a bill to remove certain
inequities resulting from a 1947
salary act affecting about 260
public school teachers.
The measure, which passed the
Senate but failed of enactment in
the 81st Congress, was referred to
the House District Committee.
Before 1947, it had been de-
termined by examinations given
by the Board of Education that
the 260 teachers possessed pro-
fessional qualifications equivalent
to the masters degree. The 1947
act limited promotions within
higher grades to actual holders
of masters degrees.
The bill would grant these
teachers the same promotion rights
as those with masters degrees. For
future appointments, however,
candidates would be required to
hold the higher degree.

another university student, be-
cause they heard on the radio
that the University of Virginia
was losing it's football game with
the University of Pennsylvania.
Visitors Thought Him Sober.
Miles Spence Bray, substitute
justice of Arlington County Court
and John c. Shepherd, deputy
sheriff, insisted Mr.. Chew seemed
sober when they visited him at the
jail three hours after his arrest.
Mr.. Bray said he could smell no
alcohol on Mr.. Chew's breath.
Mr.. Chew testified the two
drinks of whisky and the bottle
of beer were the only drinks he
had had throughout the day. He
thought the complaint of his
driving probably came from a
motorist who wanted to pass him
while he was driving in the inside
lane of a divided highway. He
said he saw no reason why the
motorist could not pass him on
the right since it was a divided
highway but admitted he later
learned he should have pulled
over to the right.
Mr.. Chew said he became upset
when the policeman stopped him
and took him to headquarters.
Il had visions of bad publicity.

was highly embarrassed" said Mr.

Capital Transit Says
II Won't Attend Talks
On Virginia Fares

An invitation from the Arling-
ton Public Utilities Commission to
discuss rates and traffic problems
will be declined by the Capital
Transit Co.. a spokesman said,
because the company does not
operate in Virginia and would
have little to offer"
The commission invited the
company, which participates in
transfer agreements with two
suburban bus lines, to discuss
new fare increases on the two
lines with commission members
and county and city officials of
nearby Virginia on February l
Capital Transit has opposed the
increases which, according to
notices already posted. go into
effect next Friday morning. New
fares will be % instead of Is cents
where transfers are used, and Is
instead of 10 cents for rides which
do not involve transfers. Capital
Transit will receive a larger re-
turn for each transfer passenger
carried.
E. Cleveland Giddings, vice
president of the transit company,
said observers probably will be
sent to the meeting.
Representatives of the Washing
ton, Virginia g. Maryland Coach
Co. (Arnold line) and the Alex
andria, Bancroft & Washington
Transit Co. plan to attend the
session, although officers of the
latter company may suggest an
other date because of previous en-
gagements.
The Arlington Commission be-
lieves that continued bus fare in
creases in Virginia threaten a
breakdown" in the public trans
portation system because, it was
said, each raise reduces the num-
Der of customers and sets up a
further need for operating reve-
nue.

Education Council
Hears Details of
Training Program

The Federal Government will
offer two types of courses at the
staff college it is setting up to
train key personnel from States
and cities in civil defense. an Of
ficial of the Civil Defense Ad-
ministration said today.
John r. Nichols, acting direc-
tor of the administrations leader
ship training division, told the
American Council of Education at
the Hotel Statler that the idea
of the staff college will be to
furnish top defense planners and
administrators with the latest in
formation and technique.
Present plans, he said, call for
a short course for those who su-
pervise full-time civil defense Of
ficials, and a longer course for
the principal full-time civil de-
fense planners and administrators
and their stats.
Priority Will Be Given.
MI. Nichols said the Federal
Government will allocate student
quotas among the States. "Ob-
viously," he added, civil defense
representatives of critical target
areas will have priority
He also said the civil defense
office plans to establish three Fed
eral technical training centers to
train those responsible for ad-
ministering civil defense programs
at the State and local levels.
Leon Keyserling told the
council yesterday that the Nation
will be committing Is to 20 per
cent of it's total production to the
military buildup by the end Of the
year.
The chairman of the Presidents
Council of Economic Advisers said
this country will win the war
"hot or cold'-not through con-
trolls or self-sacrif1ce. but through
increased production and scien-
tiflc and chronological progress.
He added, howveer, that price and
wage curbs are needed.
Burden Can't Shift.
And he had this specific warn
ing to the educators:
"We can't shift the burden Of
defense somewhere else. We can't
have as many schools, teachers
or students. We've got to face
that fact"
The economist contended that
taxation is the only real way to
fight the inevitable inf1ationary
problem because IL imposes no
burden on the economy"

Trial of F. Freeland Chew, Ar
lington County Board member, on
a charge of driving while drunk,
was continued until Tuesday after
a day-long hearing in Fairfax
Trial justice Court yesterday.
Virginia State Trooper J. S.
Atkins testified that the former
board chairman had difficulty
walking in straight line when
he was arrested September 80.
Trooper Atkins said he stopped
Mr.. Chew's car because another
motorist had complained of his
driving.
On arrival at Fairfax police
headquarters, Trooper Atkins said
Mr.. Chew told him he was a
county commissioner in Arling-
ton and wanted to get in touch
with Arlington Police Chief Harry
woodward.
Joseph Bennett, justice of the
peace who issued the warrant
said Mr.. Chew seemed very
drunk" and that he had difficulty
making telephone calls.
"He kept insisting he wasn't
drunk" said Mr.. Bennett.
When asked by Defense At
torney T. Brooke Howard if he
had stopped Mr.. Chew from r.sk-
ing telephone calls MIR. Bennett
replied that he knew the Defend
ant had made five calls and
thought that was enough to per-
NIT any prisoner to make
Sergt. Pierce Lysinger and Pvt.
Roland Heath gave the following
account of Mr.. Chew's actions at
police headquarters:
They tried to call Chief Wood
yard for him. but were unsuccess-
full. Then police assisted him in
calling an Arlington physician be-
cause Mr.. Chew said he wanted
an examination to prove his So
briefly. After the call to the
physician, DR.. Stacy Noland, the
operator called back for "a cents,
and Mr.. Chew at first insisted he
had not been talking on the tele-
phone.
Blood Showed No Alcohol.
The first defense witness was
DR.. William Dolan. Arlington Hos
pital pathologist, who testified
that a blood specimen taken
from Mr.. Chew about five hours
after his arrest showed no trace
of alcohol. He said it was highly
improbable" that Mr.. Chew could
have had enough alcohol in his
system at the time of his arrest
to be drunk, if no trace of alco-
hol showed up five hours later.
The court was told that the
blood test was made when Mr..
Chew went to Arlington Hospital
after being released on bond.
DR.. Noland said Mr.. Chew called
him, but that he was unable to
go to Fairfax. He testified that
he told Mr.. Chew to call DR..
Waring in Fairfax. Defense At
torney Howard told the court his
client was preparing to call DR..
Waring for the blood test when he
was prevented from making fur
ther calls.
Mr.. Chew's wife and Kenneth
Joseph Farrow. a University of
Virginia student, who was in the
Chew car at the time of the ar
rest, said Mr.. Chew drank two
shots of whisky between Cul-
peper and Fairfax where the ar
rest took place.
Mrs. Chew said her husband
had a bottle of beer with his
dinner in Culpeper. She said they

acres can be cleared for eventual
irrigation. The tillable acreage was
all nonirrigated before this June
when the sprinkler system was in

especially from standpoint Of
machinery investment necessary. So
