Alexandra Board
|0rders Plans Drawn
For New High School

Immediate preparation of plans
for new high school adjacent to
the Macarthur Elementary School
has been ordered by the Alexan-
dria School Board.
Schools Supt. T. c. Williams said
that the board will ask the City
Council to provide funds for the
81 million project. A bond issue
will be required, he said.
The council previously had
authorized the board to prepare
plans for the school on Janney's
lane.
He said the school will be
needed because the Alexandria
system next year will feel the i'm
pact of an eighth grade added to
provide 12-year program. En-
largement of George Washington
High School would not be a salts
factory solution, he said.
Meeting last night, the board
approved an application to the
Federal Government for a share
in funds to aid areas crowded
with children of Government
employees. Mr.. Williams said the
city might get 100000"
Mr.. Williams reported that 3
study of Magruder's American
Government" by the Social
Studies Department of the school
system had resulted in a finding
that the book has no pro-Com-
munist leanings." The study had
been requested by Mr.. Williams
after he had noted criticism in
Washington over use of the text
book.
The board approved resolution
paying tribute to John w. Tulloch,
former managing editor of the
Alexandria Gazette and former
School Board member. His death
meant the losing of one of our
great-hearted citizens" the reso-
luton said.

Fauquier Estate Sold
To District Buyers
Speeiol Dispatch 10 The Sfer


WARRENTON, Va, Jan. IL
Two historic Fauquier County es-
tates changed hands this week
with the sale Of Glen Welby, near
Marshall, to Mr.. and Mrs. Philip
L. Graham of Washington and OF
Lection Forest, near Warrenton, to
A. L. Washburn of Montreal,
Canada.
Mr.. Graham, president and pub.
Usher of the Washington Post,
acquired the 348-acre bluegrass
Glen Welby farm with a 14-room
stone residence, part of which was
built in 1900.
During the Civil War it was the
home of Col. Richard Henry Car.
ter. Confederate cavalry officer,
and served as headquarters for
Col. John S. Mosby during his
raids.
The Grahams purchased Glen
Welby from Charles Baird Of
Warrenton. They will take pos
session IN the spring.
Lection Forest, sold by Mrs.
P. B. Schravensande of New York
to Mr.. Washburn, is on Lees
Ridge. near here. 1t is part Of
property once owned by Light
Horse Harry Lee
The residence was built in the
1920s by the late Waddy B. Wood,
Washington architect. Mr.. Wash

action found Mr.. Lee and DR..
Cannon together for once in sup
port of DR.. Corning.
| Recently Mr.. Lee charged that
three textbooks used in the schools
were 'slanted toward socialism. >
He demanded they be reviewed by
DR.. Corning and that a report
be made.
Brings Stalemate.
There lies stalemate
Mr.. Lee thinks the books are bad
The textbook committee of school
teachers, which selects all text
books and makes recommenda-
tions to Dr.. Corning, thinks they
are all right. DR.. Corning is busy
reading them now so he can make
three book reviews to the Board
of Education.
Actually, Mr.. Lees first big
break with DR.. Corning came over
another textbook shortly after
DR.. Corning the took over the
job as head of the schools here
five years ago.
Mr.. Lee charged that book was
slanted toward communism. The
board did not go along with Mr..
Lee, but the controversy got to a
congressional committee and,
after public hearings, ended in
revisions being made in the book
by the publishing company.
Then. last fall, Mr.. Lee charged
that drinking and gambling we're
rampant at the high school foot
ball games.
No Evidence Uncovered.
Dr.. Corning hurriedly called on
each of his principals to investi-
gate. The Police Department
pitched in with plainclothesmen.
Then DR.. Corning reported back to
the board that no evidence had
been uncovered that would support
the charges. That ended the issue.
Mr.. Lee commented that much
good had been done"
The racial question cannot be
discounted in any analysis of why
the Board of Education is pre-
senting the current spectacle to
the public. The members have
been under terrific pressure.
The board is being sued by COL
ored groups eager to break the
segregation pattern. Some half
dozen suits are pending now. Va
rious groups bent on influencing
the board lombard it with petit
tions, requests and demands.
Hard Decision to Make.
Last summer the board killed
off Central High School and
turned the building over to the
colored students of Cardozo High
School. DR.. Corning opposed this
move but finally threw up his
hands and let the board fight it
out in several lengthy public
hearings and many meetings.
It was hard decision to make.
The white board members voting
for the transfer never have been
forgiven by the opponents to the
death of Central.
But, even the Central High issue
is not ended completely. Still
hanging around DR.. Corning's
neck is the cornerstone of Cen
tral, his own alma mater.
Removed Cornerstone.
DR.. Corning and some of his
staff removed the cornerstone
from the building during the sum-
mer. He took it to the Franklin
Administration Building, where it
now rests in a closet.
When Mr.. Lee heard about this,
he demanded to know what right
DR.. Corning had to remove an
integral part of a building, the
property of the Board of Edu-
cation and the District. To compli-
cate matters, the Central Alumni
Association demanded the corner
stone be turned over to it for
safekeeping.
The question was shunted toll
