Council Approves
Building Funds in
New Night Session

The Alexandria City Council
last night allocated $3.50, 900
asked by the School Board for
construction of a. new high school
and two grammar schools.
The motion of Councilman Le-
roy Bendheim to approve the
recommendation envisages an
expenditure of 81, $4,000 for the
additional high school and $780,
900 for each of the contemplated
grade schools.
To Ask New Bids on Pool.
Meeting for the second sue
cessive night following it's adop-
ton of the controversial $6.9
million budget Tuesday, the
council also:
/. Decided to readvertise bids
for rehabilitation of the Cam
eron street swimming pool on
the recommendation of City
Manager Ira F. Willard. Closed
since the end of last summer,
the pool was to be reopened in
mid-August after a general over
hauling by the firm of R. Stuart
Roger & Associates of Richmond,
Va, at an originally estimated
cost of some $95.000. Later esti-
mates by the firm increased the
projected costs to some $12O, 900.
The council voted last night to
delay the work until building
costs are more favorable. The
pool will not be open this sum-
mer.
2. Authorized Mr.. Willard to
proceed for a site for a sanitary
fill for Alexandria's garbage dis
posal, now handled by Arlington
County. The garbage disposal
fill would be used temporarily
until a new incinerator is built
some 18 months from now. Cost
OF equipment for the temporary
facility was limited by Mr.. Will
lard to $4,000. Under consid-
Grafton is a site behind the
Southern Railway tracks which,
If chosen by the council, would
necessitate construction of a
bridge over the tracks at an esti-
mated cost of $4,000. This is
included in the city managers
overall calculation.
Two Reappointed to Board.
The council last night also:
Reappointed to the Schoo,
Board Edward D. Reed, vice
chairman, for his third success
sive term, and Josiah S. Everly
for his second. Two other noni.
nees for the School Board posts
were passed over. They were
Thomas Mechling and Roger
Wheeler. Vice Mayor Bendheim
chairman Of the councils schoo
committee, was the author Of
the motion approving the ap.
pointments.
Voted to ask the School Board
about the feasibility of redis.
trlcting Alexandria's present
school districts. The Schoo
Board would be asked to consider
mapping Of new districts, enlarg.

School Case
Attempt to Bar
3 on Board Cites
Segregation Issue

Federal opposition to Virgin
las school segregation laws has
been injected into litigation over
the legality of three Govern
ment employees serving on the
Arlington County School Board.
This is one Of the issues raised
in a petition filed yesterday for
rehearing of a suit to oust three
Federal employees from the
School Board.
The petition claims the three
board members are holding in
compatible Offices because of
Federal opposition to Virginia S
school segregation laws.
The petition was filed by At
torney John Locke Green who
was unsuccessful in his initial
effort to remove the three school
board members. The Virginia
Supreme Court of appeals on
June 8 reversed an Arlington
Circuit Court decision which had
ruled the board members were
ineligible to hold local Office
while employees of the Federal
Government.
Green's Petition.
Mr.. Green in the petition de-
clared that the higher court did
not rule on the question of
whether the three men are ad-
ministrative officers of the Fed
eral Government and whether
or not they hold incompatible
offices because of the Federal
Governments attack on school
segregation in Virginia.
The higher court ruled that an
exemption to the general law
banning Federally employed per-
sons from holding local Office
was constitutional. The lower
court had held the exemption
invalid as special" legislation
because it applied only to Fed
eral employees who work in
Washington, D. c.
The three school board mem
bers. Barnard Joy and E. r.
Draheim, both of the Agriculture
Department, and Warren Cox of
the Federal Housing Administra-
ton, are administrative officers
of the Federal Government.
They receive salaries Of more
than $4,000 each, Mr.. Green
contends. while their pay as
school board members is 5000 a
year.
Segregation Suit Cited.
The petition cites the Federal
Governments Intervention in a
suit filed by a Prince Edward
County (Va.) family attacking
Virignia's constitutional pro-
vision for segregated schools.
The suit, in which the Govern
ment filed a petition declaring
the 14th Amendment makes Vir-
gina's segregation laws enforce
able. is to be argued before the
United States Supreme Court in
the Fall.
&C.. How can it be reasonably
said that the appellants do not
occupy positions in the Federal
Government contrary to the in
terestS of the Commonwealth
of Virginia. Which of the
two masters will the appellants
serve if and when pressure is
brought about?" the petitions
asks.

Mr.. Gull said there are $50 miles
of shelving in the library, and
that if the books were laid out in
a double row from here to New

ago that there 81 million pieces
housed there, consisting of about
91a million books and pamphlets,
100000 maps and aliases. 1t is
the most extensive map repository
in the world.
Nearly two million volumes and

lection has over 81 million pieces.
The library is handling about 9
million pieces per year.

900 of these are in science and
technology.
