Arlington Teachers
To Get Pay Tomorrow

Arlington teachers will be paid
tomorrow, County Treasurer Colin
c. Macpherson said today. but
some higher administrative per-
sonnel may have to wait a few
days for their checks.
Last week end the school board
announced it had been unable to
borrow money to meet the payroll
because of a suit against three
board members. The board reg
ularly borrows funds early in the
fiscal year. before tax receipts are
received in volume early in De-
cember.
Mr.. Macpherson said early tax
receipts are coming in at the rate
of about $4,000 a day. About
half of this amount is allocated
to schools. The board wanted to
borrow 100000.
Meanwhile, Assistant Common
wealth's Attorney Peter j. Kostik
was in Richmond exploring means
of averting a similar crisis in the
future. Commonwealth's Attor-
ney William J. Hassan said he was
confident that tomorrow's payroll
will be met. He said Mr.. Kostik
will discuss with Attorney General
j. Lindsay Almond the legality of
several proposals.
The suit was brought against
three Federal employees on the
school board who, according tc
Attorney John Locke Green, are
holding office Illegally.

County Council
Loses Round in
Arn1ory Battle
Suit to Regain Title
To Lot Is Dismissed
By Circuit Court

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil yesterday lost another round
in its battle to regain title to the
Armory lot in Silver Spring from
the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
Chief Judge Charles w. Wood
ward in Rockville Circuit Court
upheld the commissions demurrer
to the second amended bill of
complaint and dismissed the suit.
The court ordered the county to
pay the cost of litigation.
Judge Woodward also granted
a summary judgment in favor of
Catholic Archbishop Patrick A.
OBoyle, who had been named q
defendant at his own request.
Sought Clear Title.
The Archbishop had sought
judgment to clear title to a por-
ton of the original six-acre tract
which the church had bought.
County Attorney David Mac
donald had told the court he
would not again amend the suit.
He said yesterday the county in
the next few days would file an
appeal with the State Court Of
Appeals.
Judge Woodward noted that the
Icounty's amended bill of complaint
said the land was worth $500.00
when it was conveyed to the PLAN
ners by the old county commits
sioners in 1914. The maximum the
commissioners could convey to the
planners that year was $141,212.
the suit alleged.
Lot Price Cited.
Judge Woodward declared the
six lots sold to the church went
for an average of $3,887 in the
same year. He said that would
put the value of the entire %
lots at $108,840, less than the
maximum conveyances set by law.
The county council filed its
suit last December 81 while nego-
tiationS were under way with the
commission over disposition Of the
lot. The Hecht Co. had offered
the commission $500.000 for the
4.5-acre tract.
A temporary Injunction block
ing sale of the lot was lifted when
the council refused to put up a
$100, 900 bond to protect the plan
ners against possible loss in sales
value. An appeal was made on
the lifting of the Injunction.
The planners have said that the
litigation over the lot is blocking
expansion of its park development
program. They. have indicated
they may seek a buyer in spite Of
the litigation proceedings.

For $4,000 Damages

Barney Kruglak, owner of the
Kruglak Music Co. of Washing

ant in a $4,000 suit filed by two
Montgomery County residents, one
of them a county instrumental

The suit was filed in Rockville

of 1904 Lorain avenue, Silver
Spring. and Robert S. Kline, of
5911 Greentree road, Bethesda.
Both plaintiffs have been in
strumental music teachers in the
county schools. The suit asserted,
however, Mr.. Kline resigned be-
cause of the embarrassment brought
on by allegations made against
him by Mr.. Kruglak.
The suit grew out of an article
that appeared last spring in the
Maryland News concerning a
civil action filed against the Kilt
Music Co. by Mr.. Kruglak in the
United States District Court for
the District of Columbia.
The suit alleges Mr.. Kruglak
falsely and maliciously caused to
be printed and published" that
the kits Music Co. and the
Jordon Piano Co. had been
charged with giving bribes to two
Montgomery County teachers.
In the second count, the suit
alleged the defendant "falsy and
maliciouSly" named the two teach
ers in an amended bill Of COM
plant against the Kilt Music Co.
The District suit referred to the
pair as part of a conspiracy to re-
strain trade in violation of the
Sherman Act.
The suit alleges the regulations
of both plaintiffs were damaged
by Mr.. Kruglak's statement and
that Mr.. Kline subsequently re-
signed as a county school teacher.

ton.

CIosed-Door Session
Discusses Future
And Money Matters

The new Regional Planning
Council yesterday elected Betram
Gross of the Arlington County
Planning Commission. as its first
chairman and spent two hours
talking about the future.
The council is new body. Gre
ated last summer when, the Ma
tional Capital Planning Commits
sion was revamped by Congress.
The hope is for the council to
coordinate regional planning in
the Washington area.
It will base its work on the de-
velopment plans already underway
in the various Jurisdictions in the
District area.
But, yesterday at the first meet
ing of the council. election of off,
GERS and general discussion of
what's ahead apparently was the
order of business. The council
met behind closed doors and will
do so in the future.
Elected in Absence.
Mr.. Gross. the chairman of the
council, was the only member of
the 10-man group absent. A con-
Sulting economist, he was out of
town on business.
Robert M. Watkins, chairman
of the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
was elected first vice chairman,
and Brig. Gen. Bernard L. Rob-
inson, Engineer Commissioner,
was named second vice chairman.
The three officers will make up
the executive committee of the
council. Other members of the
council are DR.. Joseph D. Lob
man, chairman of the National
Capital Planning Commission;
Donald e. Gingery. Frederick A.
Gutheim and Thomas Latimer
of Maryland. and c. Luckett Wat
kins. Francis A. Wagner and John
w. Brookfleld of Virginia.
Blair Lee III. executive officer
of the NCPC, was appointed ex-
ecutive secretary of the council.
Discuss Money.
The council, according to Mr..
Lee, spent most of the two hours
talking about money and where it,
was to come from. No money is
allotted for the council work att
present.
The Executive Committee will
report at the next meeting of the
council on all financial possibili-
ties. The present feeling is that
the staff Of the NCPC. will have to
double up and serve as the staff of
the council also. A sizable increase
in funds for the NCPC staff will be
sought in the next budget.
The Executive Committee also
will present a draft of bylaws for
the new council at the next meet
ing. The council also expects to
devote part of the next meeting to
laying out a work program for the
year.
The council agreed to meet once
a month for the time being and
see how that worked out. The next
meeting is scheduled for 4 pm.

Stuqe Set in Lancaster County
For 7ricentenniuI Celebration
Observance Begins
Tomorrow in
KiImurnock Area
By Som Eostmon
Stor Sfoff Correspondent

KILMARNOCK. caster
County, Va. Sept. 30.-This serene
county by the Rappahannock
River will return tomorrow to an
era three centuries past.
With pomp and pageantry be-
fitting its years, Lancaster will
stage a tri-centennial celebration
in the Kilmarnock area through
Thursday.
A costumed drama will be given,
a queen will be crowned and
historic homes and landmarks
will be opened for visitors.
The county. a rural blend of
fishing communities and rolling
farmland, lies on the southeast
corner of the Northern Neck
a peninsula pointing into Chesa-
peake Bay between the Potomac
and Rappahannock Rivers.
When Lancaster's first court
met in 1862, it had Jurisdiction

sippi River and south to the
pTeSent Kentucky Tennessee and
virginia. North Carolina borders.
Six States and part of another.
along with 43 Virginia counties,
were carved out of the original
territory.
Given to Friends.
Less than a decade after Lam
caster was incorporated, settlers
discovered that Charles II casually
had turned over the entire area to
seven friends-in-exile.
The land later drifted into the
hands of Thomas Lord Fairfax
whose seal has been selected for
the tri-centennial ceremonies.
Early settlers of the Peninsula
were Protestants who had been
unhappy under the rule of Lord
Baltimore. Later, about 100 Cava-
liers moved in when Charles ]
was beheaded and Cromwell estab-
lished his Commonwealth in Eng
land.
Large numbers of young. un-
wary British citizens also began
to arrive-shanghaied and inden-
tured to local planters. Fifty acres
of land was the prize for each.
Toward their women, the men
exhibited a mixture of chivalry
and harsh justice. Public whip
pings for slander and gossip were
often given to women in the
county.
First Jury Of Women.
When morals charges were
brought against one young woman
in 1890, the matter was con-
sidered too delicate for male
jurors. AS a result, the first jury
of women in America was called
at nearby Rappahannock Court
house.
Visitors today will find much
Of the English-founded traditions
still in evidence throughout Lam
caster.
Clustering. grabbing and fishing
are still the County's main iveli-
hoods. Farming of soy beans, to-
matoes and corn is next. There
are no railroad lines down the
Peninsula. The only bridge from
the lower Northern Neck, between
Warsaw and Tappahannock,
wasn't completed until 1927.
A highlight of Lancaster's re-
turn to the past will come tomor-
row. Gov. Battle will crown Queen
Lancaster at the opening Of the
two-day celebration.
She is 21-year-old Virginia
McGinnis, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas D. McGinnis, of
Kendall Hall, Irvington.
Miss McGinnis is now taking
postgraduate work at the Wood
row Wilson Institute. University of
Virginia.
