School Funds
O'Conor, Butler Hope
To Get 81 Million
For Prince Georges
By J. |. Michael

Prince Georges authorities said
today that Maryland Senators
O'Conor, Democrat, and Butler.
Republican, have promised to
back legislation that ultimately
would give the county 81 million
of Federal funds for school con-
IStruction.
The legislators conferred yester-
day in Senator Buffers Office with
the county commissioners, their
counsel and School Supt. William
S. Schmidt.
Would Extend Law.
Two objectives were set. One
would extend an existing law pro-
viding ALLEGATIONS for children Of
Federal employees. The other
would change the formula for
computing such appropriations.
Under a statute due to expire
on June 80, Prince Georges is
entitled to $2.1 million. None of
the amount has been paid be-
cause of the county's low priority
rating. It will be paid eventually
only if the law is extended.
The county is entitled to $2.1
million because it has $500 school
children in one Of these cate
gories:
Those whose parents live in
Prince Georges and work at Fed
eral installations in the county:
children who live in low-cost Fed
eral housing projects and pupils
whose parents live in the county
and work at Federal projects in
the State.
! Would Qualify $500.
The proposed formula change
would qualify for Federal assist
ance children of parents who live
in the county and work in WASH
ington.
If the legislation, now in the
House Labor and Education Com
mittee, becomes law, Prince
Georges will have an additional
$500 eligibles, Mr.. Schmidt said.
This would mean Government aid
for about Is per cent of the total
enrolment.
An influx of population, chiefly
from the District, has forced
Prince Georges to spend IS mil
lion a year on school buildings
since 1916. The county now has
authority to sell $1.2 million in
bonds for schools.

Virginia Republicans
Meet on Settlement
OF 7 Party Disputes
BY the Assceiased Press

ROANOKE, Va. June 1.-THE
Republican State Central Com
mittee met today to try to settle
two intra-party disputes.
One involves a factional quarrel
among Sd District Republicans
and the other a rift in the ranks
of the Young Republican Fedora
tion of Virginia.
State G. O. P. Chairman s
Floyd Landreth of Galax said he
hoped "sportsmanlike compro-
mise" could be worked out in the
Sd District dispute. He refused,
however. to say what he thought
would be a good compromise.
Settlement Proposed.
At stake is the Sd Districts
delegation to the national con-
vention in Chicago July Z. The
Districts "Old Guard" Republi-
cans have elected two delegates
one pro-Taft. the other uncom-
mitted-and a pro-Eisenhower
faction has named two delegates
favorable to the generals presi-
dental candidacy.
State Senator Ted Dalton of
Radford, Republican National
Committeeman, proposed the fol-
lowing settlement:
'Let each Of the rival factions
send a delegate and alternate
apiece to the national convention
AS Senator Landreth says, we
want harmony, and right now we
particularly want it in Richmond
ed District"
Young Republican Contest.
The other conflict concerns J.
Calvitt Clarke, jr., of Richmond,
who recently was ousted as presi-
dent of the Young Republican
Federation by that groups execu-
tive committee. The committee
removed Mr.. Clarke because it
said, he failed to carry out in
structions to indorse a certain
candidate for delegate-at-large 70
the national convention.
The committee elected Lewis
Wohford. jr., Of Roanoke to re-
place Mr.. Clarke.
Mr.. Clarke, however, has de-
nounced the committee action
and claims it void.
Erskine Van Mouten, jr., of
Richmond. a member of the COM
mittee, said "underhanded" meth
DDS were used in ousting Mr..
Clarke. He said he wasn't noti-
fed of the meeting at which the
committee acted.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25 (INS)-
The time of year has arrived when
a young mans fancy lightly turns
to baseball, and his hopes for the
future ride on every move he
makes at the plate orafield in
training camps stretched from
coast to coast.
A vast majority of the major
and minor leaguers r in the
south, a few others in the south
west and still others in the far
west. This has been going on for
so many years that no one now
can remember too distinctly when
it all started.
But the pattern has not changed
through the years. Players who
already have reached greatness,
others striving for it, mediocre
ones and some who will never
really make it, all go through the
same motions getting ready for
whatever the future may hold.
Each year some gallant old-tim-
ers are dropped as youth comes
along to help nudge the oldsters
to the sidelines. This year it is Joe
Dimaggio who heads the departing
old guard, through retirement.
Before the summer is over he
may be joined by Ted Williams,
who, if he passes his Marine Air
Corps physical, will be at the finish
of his career, too. Just a year or
so away from the game at his age
will mean his farewell.
With these two out, Stan Musial
is the one remaining survivor of
the modern day mythical greatest
outfield. Those three on one team
