beV Stemps Asoin. Pese CO
The degree of harshness has not
equalled that in the other satel-
lites. but no one doubts 1t will.
Perhaps the situation Is not quite
so grave here because of leaks
in the Iron Curtain. Hungary has
close cultural ties with neighbor
Austria. There is an impression
that the ruling Hungarian Com
munists feel constrained to pro-
coed more slowly and carefully
than Communist leaders of the
other countries.
In the matter of Sovietization,
Hungary has not reached the sit
uation of the other countries.
None of the sources, however,
doubts that it will. Where the
country is now, the other Satel-
lites have been. When the full
Sovietization comes. it likely will
be accompanied by widespread
arrests and purges.
Austrians say that. even the
Hungarian Communist leaders
seem a little embarrassed when
they issue such DEGREES as the
one banning the broadcast of
Hungarian gypsy music, the music
so dear to all Hungarians and
AustrianS.
Many Hungarians also seemed
shamefaced about the deporta-
tions of people from border areas
and from Budapest-as If forced
! to order the deportations against
their will. The Hungarian regime
went to great lengths trying to ex-
tplain its action.
The Communist boss of Hun
gary, Matyas Rakosi, walks gin
Igerly, perhaps fearful that he,
himself, is not too secure should
the Soviet Union be offended. yet
still apparently just a little afraid
tof the Hungarian people them
selves.
But Rakosi has an army of Sc
icret police and a force of Soviet
troops to back him-so Hungary
will be sovietized when the regime
/ is less afraid that sullen resistance
of the farmers will bring about a
critical condition,

spree. The government issued new
money at the rate Of anywhere

The country is in economic ruin,

passing cars splashed him as he
scootered along.
Officials have had only q bare
half dozen requests for scooter
duty. But they've had a request
for the name of the manufac-
turer and the price of one of, the
vehicles. The caller, a woman,
said she never had been able to
afford a car, but she thought she
might be able to swing a deal like
those.
None of the complaints had to

machines might have for dogs

posite situation.
From far away, as he rolls
down Kennedy drive. a big friendly
Weimaraner. aristocrat of the dog
breeds, plunges out of the bushes
to meet him. The dog. owned by
Thomas Somerville Sd of 1870
Brookside drive, isn't just hitching
a ride. When and if Mr.. Lowns
walks, the dog follows. AS long
as they're on the route, they're
inSeparable. Quite frequently, the
postman delivers the dog back
home on completing his Kenwood
deliveries.
10 Bites in August.
Not all carriers fare as well.
The post Office had reports of
10 carriers bitten by dogs in Au-
gust. but the figure is high. The
usual average is about four q
month. Postal regulations entitle
the carrier to one break. He
doesn't have to make the delivery
If the biting dog is on the loose.
One border-line case involved the
dog who was dutifully kept in.
But he was released before the
carrier could get out Of the yard.
One carrier responded to an
official charge that he reversed
procedure and attacked the dog
with this statement:
There is something about my
shins that dogs don't seem to be
able to resist. Some Of my best
friends are dogs. But there is a
certain type Of dog afflicted with
what I call Shin-fixation.
II always recognize this de-
ranged specie by a certain gleam
in his eye. which seems to indicate
he thinks my shins should be
carried of to some secluded spot

They can see it as a means OF

The Washington post office, as
one Of five test centers in the Ma

least seven types Of scooter. One
of them is even a throw-back to
the old-time electric automobile,

In two other instances, they get

Three Arlington School Board
threatened with legal
action if they don't resign. said
today they will not be intimi-

John Locke Green, attorney who
initiated the suit which resulted
in the recent custer of three nom
partisan members OF the County
Board, the county's governing
body, sent an ultimatum to three
of the five school board members
yesterday.
The School Board members de-
cision to stand pat against Mr..
Green's ultimatum came as Mrs.
Ruth O'Dell Cox. wife of one of
the three ousted County Board
members, announced she would be
a non-partisan candidate for the
seat her husband had to vacate.
Urged to Resign.
In letter, Mr.. Green warned
the school board members to re-
sign or he would bring legal action
against them. He said Board
Members DR.. Barnard Joy. chair
man; DIR. E. r. Draheim and War
rem Cox were serving Illegally
since they are Federal employees
The three county board men,
bers ousted by Mr.. Green's suit
also were Federal employees at the
time of their election. The Vir-
'ginia Supreme Court Of Appeals
last week upheld an old Virginia
law banning Federal employees
from holding State and local Office
in Virginia.
In Joint statement today, the
three school board members said:
Federal employees have been
members of school boards in
Arlington and elsewhere in Vir-
ginia for many years as authorized
by Section 50 Of the Education
Code of the Commonwealth.

bers ousted as a result of the court
decision are Robert Cox, chair
man; Alan L. Dean and Daniel A
IDugan. Their successors, ap.
pointed by Circuit Court Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy to serve un.
til new board members can bt

in today.
The temporary appointees are
Howard r. Massey, M. Rex Byrne
and John A. Tillema.
Mr.. Byrne said he definitely
will not seek election to the
board in the special election
