Eight New Buildings
Will Open This Week
For Pupils in Fairfax
By Mory Lou Werner

Eight new school buildings will
be put into service in Fairfax
County Tuesday when schools
open for the fall term.
It's the biggest crop of new
schools to go into operation at
one time during the county's
current building program. Addi-
tions will be occupied at seven
other schools.
Fairfax began its major school
expansion program in 1850 with
the passage of a $10.5 million
bond issue. Some Federal and
State funds were added to that
to bring the total building pro-
gram close to SIS million.
The county had 279 class
rooms when the new construc-
ton started. There were 382 new
classrooms projected in the pro-
gram. The opening of the eight
new buildings this fall will leave
only II classrooms to be COM
| pleted.
One new high school will open
Tuesday-in Herndon. The old
school will be used for ele-
mentary classes.
The new Herndon High, ad-
jacent to the old one, will ac-
comodate 525 students. 1t is a
complete plant with gymnasium,
auditorium, cafeteria and all
other modern facilities. The only
parts not new are the shops,
which are adjacent to the old
high school and will continue
to be used by students in the
new one.
The new elementary schools
are:
WestmOre-Nine-room school
in the town of Fairfax for 400
students. 1t will take care of
children who used to go to
overcrowde6 Fairfax Elementary.
CamerOn-Nine- room school
in Burgundy Village subdivision
for 400 students. Most of them
used to go to Mount Eagle and
a few to Franconia.
GarfieId-16-room school in
Springfield subdivision for 470
students. Fourteen rooms will be
ready Tuesday and the other
two soon. Students here used to
go to the Franconia school.
Clifton - Four-room brick
building to replace old frame
Clifton school which was torn
down during the summer.
Eleven OakS-S We mr. o o m
school for colored students, re-
placing the old Fairfax Colored
frame building and the old Cub
Run School. Both Cub Run and
Fairfax Colored are being closed
and the student bodies consoli-
dated.
WoOdburn-Six-room building
on Gallows road near Woodburn
subdivision, for children who
used to attend Bailey's Elemen-
tary. Woodburn actually was
ready the last day of school last
spring, but is being used for
classes for the first time this
fall.

Along with labs and classrooms,
the College Park campus cur
rently is acquiring a new, less
highbrow addition.
It will include pool hall.
The project is a new million
dollar Student Union building,
now going up near Byrd Stadium.
It's only one of several new build
ings but the Student Union
structure is the one undergrad
yates are painting for.
University officials hope to
have it completed next spring.
In addition to the pool hall,
which will have six tables, the
new building will contain:

6. A 300-Sea auditorium,
which can be converted to a small
ballroom or can be used for buf-
fets and teas.
Z. A 46-by-71-foot room to be
used as a study lounge during
the day and a ballroom at night.
8. A music room with a rec
ord library and a piano.
9. A browsing library.
The university almost tossed
in a bowling alley or two, but
they were lost when one wing
was whacked off to cut costs.
Maybe in the future we'll put
that wing back on" says Dean
of Men Geary F. Eppley.
Three New Buildings.
Three new classroom or re-
search buildings will be open to
students for the first time this
month-the new math building,
the industrial education and me-
chanical arts building and the
poultry research building.
Due to be completed soon
after the opening of the fall
term September 81 are 10 new
fraternity and sorority houses,
built on a half circle in the
area where the old football sta
dunn formerly was located

has been torn down.

roritieS.
Newer fraternities and sorori-
ties are waiting to move into
the quarters to be vacated by
the above groups.
With about $4,000 students
expected at College Park this
month, slightly more than last
year, the university is almost
certain to face another shortage
of girls dormitory rooms. No
new dormitory rooms for girls
have been added since last year,
when the university had to turn
away hundreds of girl students.
More DOrms Planned.
The university hopes soon,
however, to begin construction
of Is new mems dorms, with room
for 800 and nine new women's
dorms with a capacity of $50.
Those units are to be financed
by a recent $2.6 million grant
from the Federal Government,
according to Business Manager
George O. Weber.
Another housing area where
shortage exists is in married
students apartment units. The
university for the last decade
has maintained 104 small apart
ments in barracks-type build
ings for married students. Origi-
nally they were for veterans ex-
cluSlVely, but now veterans
merely have preference.
Doyle P. Royal, assistant dean
of men. said there is a waiting
list of about SO for the apart
ment units. The rent is $40 a
month for the three-room units
diving room, kitchen and bed
room and $37 for the two-room
units .(kitchen and living room)
The university limits the bar
racks apartments to couples with
no more than one child.

By william, J. Meyer

The John Brown affair in
1859 probably was the most
unusual. Captured after his
raid on Harpers Ferry, Brown
was charged with attempting
to incite a slave rebellion and
was hanged for treason
against Virginia - not the
Federal Government.
There is a difference be-
tween treason and espionage,
although both are punishable
by death.
Treason is simple and easily
understood. Considered the
most deSpicable of crimes, it
is the only one defined in the
Constitution. It says that
treason shall consist only in
levying war" against the
United States or "in adhering
to their enemies, giving them
aid and comfort" It also says
that mo person shall be con-
victed of treason unless on the
testimony of two witnesses"
to the act or ION confession
in open court"
Espionage Is more compli-
Gated. Enacted in 1917 to deal
with the country's disloyal
element in World War I, the
law dealing with it contains
more than 10000 words. It
covers a wide range of viola
tions, from supplying secret
information, pictures and
documents to foreign powers
not necessarily to enemies
and not necessarily during
war-to obStructing recruiting,
causing inSubordination and
encouraging disIoyalty. It also
has provisions to protect har-

borS, the movements of ships,
railroads and communications
and to prevent circulation of
Seditious literature.
Over the years, spying and
espionage have reached a
high state of efficiency.
Operatives have become Spe-
cialiStS in their trade, more
cunning and more difficult to
detect. Mr.. Hoover told the
House subcommittee:
Communists (are) resort
ing to every possible means
to prevent detection, going
into the underground. holding
meetings in out-of-way places,
avoiding use of telephones,
using couriers for transmits
sion Of messages and in every
way trying to- effect their
program"
Since the war, probably
more persons than you think
have been convicted of trying
to sabotage our American way
Of life. Two of the most re-
cent were Kurt Ponger and
Otto Verber, former GIs, who
pleaded guilty in court here to
conspiring to transmit vital
defense secrets to Russia.
Unfortunately, the convic-
tions have been wioely spaced
in both time and distance.
Coming one or two at a time
and often submerged by other
news, they leave the average
person unaware of the vast
size of the operations and the
type Of person sometimes in
volved. Instead Of sinister
cloak and dagger Williams of
the Hollywood type, they,
more often than not, are like
the folks you see every day.
Evening star., 1953-05-31

CHOWN ON this page are a
~ few very average appear
ing persons. From all ap-
pearances they are no differ
ent from folks we all know.
But those pictured here are
not that commonplace.
Instead, they all, in recent
years, have tangled with the
law on charges Of treason or
espionage in connection with
a peril to the national security
which caused J. Edgar Hoover,
director of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, to declare:
II can say that the
enemy espionage rings are
more intensively operated to-
day than at any previous
time in the history of the
country"
He made the statement be-
fore a subcommittee of the
House Committee on Appro-
priationS while asking for 65
new FBI agents and to prompt
Attorney General Brownell to
enlarge the internal security
section of the Department of
Justice. It was comforting
when Mr.. Hoover added:
However, we have been able
to penetrate their organiza-
ton =. and feel that the
security Of the country is
being carefully watched"
Treason and espionage are
as old as society itself. In this
country, they began raising
their ugly heads even before
the Nation was born. In 1779,
Benedict Arnold, a Revolu-
tionary general, went over to
the British in probably the
country's most notorious trea-
son case.

that they will tell all their friends
not to miss it. 1t is truly a once in
