Slate Of Independent!
For Arlington Board
&
Endorsed by Rowzee

George M. Rowzee, jr., Repub-
Ilican candidate for the full-length
term on the Arlington County
Board, has indorsed the Indepen1
dent Movement slate for the other
three board seats.
Mr.. Rowzee is opposing Demo-
cat Wesley w. Cooper, nonparti-
san Ivan Booker and Independent
Jacob Bechtel for the seat to be
vacated by Board Chairman AL
fred E. Frisbie. The winner will
begin a four-year term January /.
All four seats will be filled in
the November 4 election.
Mr.. Bechtel is not one of the
Independent Movement candi-
dates
They are DR.. Robert Detwiler,
Mrs. Leone BMchholz and Alvin
F. Kimel. They seek the unex-
|pired terms of three nonpartisan
board members. ousted by a rul-
ing banning Federal employees
from local Office.
Mr.. Rowzee noted that the In
dependent Movement ticket "has
been under heavy fire from nom
partisan spokesmen, who claim it
is directed against their candi-
dates nominated at Town Hail."
The Independent Movement,
Mr.. Rowzee said, was brought
about through public indignation.
The nonpartisan rule has brought
about an era Of confusion. which
has resulted in high taxes and
few benefits. ..
"The necessity for change was
evident" Mr.. Rowzee declared.
''The assurance of change could
only result from an agreement by
the two major parties in the
county to cooperate with a gronp
|of responsible citizens. These citi-
zens sought sound government
based on the application of proven
business methods which would
afford the taxpayers Of the county
protection from the waste Of their
monies"

Arlington Study Asks
Continued Election
OF School Board

The Arlington Citizens Study
Commission on Local Government
recommends that voters support
continued election of the School
Board by the people when the
Question is presented November 4.
The question on the voting ma
chine will be. "Shall the members
of the City School Board be
elected by the City Council or
elected by the people?"
The Study Commission has not
yet made recommendation on the
main question of whether Arling-
ton should change its county sta
tus for that Of a city. The Uni
versity Of Virginia has completed
a study of the proposed city char
ter and the local commission is
reviewing the University's conclu-
tsions.
The commission presented its
findings on the School Board
tquestion to the County Board last
might, 2
The report was similar to one
presented to the County Civic Fed
Grafton on Tuesday night. The
| federation indorsed popular elec-
ton of the School Board. if Ar
lington becomes a city.
: The commission noted that the
City School Board members would
take Office and leave Office at the
same time. This was considered
by a commission committee to be
a serious weakness in the pro-
posed charter. Immediate efforts
should be made to provide for
staggered terms, as at present. if
incorporation is approved, the
commission declared.
Harley A. Williams, who led un-
successful opposition at the fed
Grafton meeting to a proposed
commendation of the elected
School Board. filed a dissent with
the commissions report. He is on
the 36-member commission, ap-
pointed by the. County Board.
Mr.. Williams favors election of
the City School Board, however,
because "the power of control
must be retained personally in the
hands of parents. taxpayers and
voters" He said he opposes the
present convention method of
nominating School Board men,

Bethesdans Divided
On Rezoning Plan
For Shopping Center

Bethesda residents were sharply
divided last night at a public hear
ing on a proposal to permit con-
struction of a $40 million shopping
center at Grosvenor lane and Old
Georgetown road. j.,
Three of four citizens organiza-
tions in the area opposed the re-
quest for rezoning on grounds it
would destroy the residential char
acter of the neighborhood and
create an additional traffic hazard.
Six-Acre Center.
The Lux Manor. Edgewood-
Glenwood and Alta Vista associa-
tions opposed the rezoning which
would permit development of the
Six-acre center. They also as
serted the center was unnecessary.
The Huntington Terrace Asso-
ciation supported the rezoning ap-
plication, saying the center would
raise property values and provide
a convenient shopping center.
The citizens associations, how
ever, were split within their own
ranks on the proposal.
Attorney Francis w. Hill, jr.,
representing Developer Alvin Aubi-
noe. told the Montgomery County
Council the center would have
a branch department store and
parking facilities for TOO cars. He
said 1t would be screened by a
belt Of trees.
400 Sign Petition.
Mr.. Hill also presented a petit
tion signed by 400 persons sup
porting the rezoning. Mr.. Aubinoe
has developed many of the resi-
dental subdivisions in the area.
The Maryland National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commits
sion has recommended that the
rezoning application be granted
The rezoning also is favored by
the Kaufmann-G Goldnamer Co.;
which owns 214 acres of undevel-
oped land opposite the proposed
site.
The Council indicated the rec
ord Of the hearing would be left
open for five or six days for the

Joe Louis Invited:


Paul Open Golf Tournament,
American Negro golfers have
been invited to play with Pro-
fessional Golfers Association
sanction at the annual golf meet
sponsored by the st. Paul Jay
Gees on July 8 to Is.
After several years of contro-
versy, Sol Hughes. Minneapolis
golfer has had his application for
tournament play accepted. Ted
Rhodes of Chicago and William
Spiller of Los Angeles, other ma
uonally known golfers have been
invited.
Joe Louis, whose January tilt
with the PEA out in San Diego
brought about a change in PEA
policy which formerly arbitrarily
barred Negroes from PEA spon-
sored tournaments, has been in
vited to play at Keller also.
If Louis comes to st. Paul his
appearance will increase the
gallery tremendously for the
former heavyweight champ is
popular everywhere.
st. Paul Jaycees who sponsor
the Keller Open have been FESTIVE
under the PEA Negro ban for
several years. Last year they in
vited Sol Hughes, the Minneapo-
lis golfer only to have the PEA
national office turn his entry
down.
The Jaycees lodged vigorous
protests but the PEA wouldn't
bulge.
In January this year the st.
Paul RECORDER urged the
Jaycees to cancel the st. Paul
Open unless Negro players were
allowed to participate. The paper
said editorially in its January Is,
1867 edition:
Last summer the st. Paul
Jaycees tried to get the PEA
to admit Sol Hughes to the
Keller (St. Paul. Open. but to
no avail This year we hope the
st. Paul Jaycees will have the
intestinal fortitude to forego
the tournament if PEA rules
still bar Americans on the basis
of the color or race"
Community members hope Joe
Louis and other nationally prom
inent Negro golfers will file their
entries, application in recogni-
ton of the fine fight the st. Paul
Junior Association has waged
with the PEA in behalf of fair
play in golf

Speaking at the 43rd annual

Marshall, special counsel for the

this shift in policy does not mean
that suits will not be filed in
other areas where violations Of

Besides Marshall, other noted
persons who addressed the week

Walter White, executive secre-

Washington bureau; Roy VIII
kins. NAAcP administrator;
Walter Reuther. president of the
United Auto Workers Union, CIO,
and Kenneth Morland. an anthro-
pologist at William and Mary

Marshall said the NAACP in
tends to rest for the time being on

courts and on other precedent test
cases. He had reference to two
school cases-Topeka. Kans.. and
