Stock Price Average
Declines S|ight|y>for
Second Week in Row
By Roder Wineet
prass Eina ariel Wri&ar

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-The
stock market plodded through an
extremely slow week.
Prices were down on average
for the second consecutive week,
something that hasn't happened
since early November.
The decline was in the neigh
borhood of l per cent of the total
quoted value of all listed securi-
ties on the stock exchange.
Brokers ascribed the general
downward movement to nervous
ness over fear of a technical re-
action, f1urries Of peace selling,
tinid reactions to changes in
price regulations in Washington,
responses to war orders. and con-
fusion over explanations of the
administrations economic policies.

Fairfax Board Rejects
Quicker Sewage Study
BY Reaffirming Stand

A $4,000 engineering survey of
nearby Virginia sewage disposal
problems has been indorsed sec
ond time by the Fairfax County
Board of Supervisors.
Turning down a request of the
Arlington County Board to join
in shorter and less costly survey,
the supervisors yesterday reaf-
f1rmed their action of two weeks
ago, approving the survey which
was recommended by an interim
committee on sewage problems.
The $4,000 survey, proposed by
the engineering firms of Alexander
Potter Associates and Greeley &
Hansen, also has the support of
Alexandria.
Arlington and Falls Church have
not yet taken final action In the
matter. but Arlington has re-
quested the other affected COM
munities to favor a $4,000 sur
vey by the firm Of AIvord Burdick
I& HoWson, Arlington's principal
argument in behalf of the cheaper
survey Is that 1t would require
only three months. while the firms
favored by the interim committee
estimate six months would be
needed.
All four jurisdictions were rep
resented on the interim commit
tee. Five of the eight members
favored the $4,000 survey; the
two Arlington members wanted
the $4,000 job. and the eighth
member favored a third engineer
ing proposal.
The Fairfax supervisors unani-
mously reaffirmed their earlier
action after hearing a report by
James j. Corbalis. jr., county
sanitary engineer. Although Mr..
Corbalis was not a representative
of the county on the interim
committee, he sat in on its de-
liberation.
~ am comment Cnat the In
terinl committee selected the most
qualified firm to undertake the
study and I feel that the work
required by the scope of the
study will demand a period of at
least six months for completion, "
said Mr.. ,Corbalis.
In fact, I feel. and so stated
to the interim committee, that the
time element should not be a
determining factor in this matter
but rather that we look for the
development of a comprehensive
report regardless of how long it
might reasonably take to achieve
that objective"

THE action was improperly

that she had been mentioned

Pearl Buck Incident Up.
After textbooks and songs had
been handled. the board members
then embarked on another round
over the ong-lingering Pearl
Buck incident.
Mrs. Buck, well known writer,
was forbidden to speak at Cardozo
High School by DR.. Corning at
mid-year graduation exercises be-
cause she had not been cleared
first with his Office as the rules
required.
| Robert N. Mattingly, principal
of Cardozo, and Miss Jennie E.
Mustapha. assistant principal,
then were reprimanded by DR..
Corning for falling to clear Miss
Buck. The incident touched off
a controversy over DR.. Corning S
use of the House Un-American
Activities files to determine if a
person could speak in the schools.
Mere appearance of the persons
name in the file then was auto
matte grounds for a ban.
The policy since has been
changed to allow evaluation of
references contained in the files.
But speakers still must be cleared.
After the reprimand, Miss
Mustapha joined other faculty
members at Carbozo in writing a
letter to the Board of Education,
criticising the handling of the in
cident. Still pending was report
from DR.. Corning on the letter
writing incident.
DR.. Corning recommended that
in view of all that has transpired
in this case, the superintendent
recommends that the letter be
acknowledged by the board and
filed" Miss Mustapha already
has received another reprimand
from DR.. Corning for the letter.
Mrs. Williams said she was dis
turbed that Mr.. Mattingly, man
with As years honorable service in
the school system, was to have
this reprimand on his otherwise
perfect record. She said she was
appealing to the board to accept
only verbal reprimand. main
tanning that no formal action had
been taken by board members
anyway.
DR.. Cannon said he was In
sympathy with Mrs. Williams
feelings in the matter and would
be willing to go along with sug-
Igestion to DR.. Corning that the
board wouldn't object to only a
verbal reprimand.
