Arlington Textbooks Reported
Free of Subversive Material

Seven Arlington school teach
erS and a school administrative
officer last night told more than
100 Arlington parents that no
subversive material has been
found in textbooks used in
county schools.
c. Glen Hass. associate school
superintendent. said criticism of
books now in use is unjustified.
He spoke at a meeting of the
Arlington Parents Council on
Instruction.
Teachers know their books
and if there is anything sub
versive in the texts in use they
would know about it. A charge
that we are using subversive
books in Arlington is a charge
that the teachers are subversive.
That is a pretty serious charge
and I don't believe it," Mr.. Hass
said.
In recent weeks, a half-dozen
textbooks used in Arlington
schools have been attacked as
subversive by some county res
idents. A county American Le-
gion post last month adopted a
resolution asking that laymen
be named to a textbook selec-
ton committee after criticism
of the six books was expressed
during a meeting.
Mr.. Haas listed three factors
which he said operate as safe
guards against adoption Of sub

Song Book Brings Discord
To School Board Meetinq

A song book brought a sour
note to a District Board of Edu-

Faulkner thought board mem
bers shouldn't approve them
without some members having
read them.
Wesley Williams said he had
the utmost confidence" in a
committee of teachers who
picked the books.
Mr.. Faulkner wanted to know
what books the schools have on
UNESCO-the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cul-
tural Organization. Acting Supt.

on that subject.
Then Mr.. Faulkner displayed

Residents of the Peace Cross

Arlington Firm Asks
$4,000 Damages in
Union Shop Case

A new dispute over use OF
union-shop Subcontractors on
nearby Virginia construction jobs
f1ared today with filing of suit
in Arlington Circuit Court by a
county plumbing contractor
against E. L. Daniels. a general
contractor. The firm has been
awarded many school contracts
in Arlington and Fairfax.
The suit, filed by w. j. Baum
bach, Inc, 4147 Wilson boule-
ward, asks the court to declare
null and void alleged agreements
between Daniels and union build
ing-trade organizations. Baum
bach asks more than $27,00O
damages, charging that the un-
ion agreements caused him to
lose that much in three con-
struction jobs on which he was
low bidder. but lost his bids.
Last week in Federal District
Court in Alexandria, a dispute
between union and non-union
shops was settled by Judge Al
bert v. Bryan.
Union Won Housing Case.
Tllat case. involving the Alex
ar1dria Housing and Redevelop-
tnent Authority. was decided in
favor of a union contractor in
spite Of protests by non-union
shops that awarding the contract
to the union firm would violate
Virginia and Federal laws and
prevent the non-union shops
from participating as bidders or
subcontractors.
The suit today was filed by
Arlington Attorney John Locke
Green. It declares that the
Baumbach company last May
offered Daniels the low bid on
plumbing and heating work for
an addition at Arlington Hos
pital. Daniels was the successful
general contractor in the bid
ding, but. according to the suit,
later refused to accept the
Baumbach bid, and said it was
because certain labor organiza-
tions, groups and unions
said they would withdraw and
pull off of E. L. Daniels jobs
for construction projects all
union men," if the Baumbach
bid were accepted.
The Baumbach firm employs
about rs steamfitters and plumb
ers on an open-shop basis.
Other Bids Rejected.
The suit declares that in De-
cember last year Baumbach sub
mitted a low bid on a subcon-
tract to install plumbing and
heating in the Falls Church
High School addition handled
by the Daniels firm. Again the
bid was rejected by the Daniels
firm, which was awarded the
general contract on the project.
When the Baumbach firm de-
manded it be given the subcon-
tract, the suit states, the Daniels
firm said that since Baumbach
conducted an open shop, he could
not use the company on the
project where union men also
would be employed.
Earlier this month, the suit
states, Baumbach submitted a
bid to the Daniels company
which was later awarded the
general contract to build the
Jamestown School in Arlington,
but the bid was rejected.
Because Of similar agreements
between other general contrac-
tors and union organizations, the
suit alleges, the Baumbach firm
has lost more than $400, 900 in
projects on which it was the low
est qualified bidder.
