Woodson Replies to Critics
On CLOSING of Odricks School

central heat or running water, F"
said the superintendent.
Odricks is being closed, and
the IA pupils enrolled there are
to be sent to the Louise Archer
Elementary School at Vienna
where a new addition is being
completed. This is in line with
the school boards long-standing
policy to consolidate the smaller,
one-and two-claSSroom schools
into larger schools. All Of the
white schools were consolidated
in the 1930's.
Teacher for Each Grade.
Mr.. Woodson said the children
would be better provided for in
the larger school. At Odricks, all
seven grades are taught by two
teachers in the two rooms, he
said. At Louise Archer, the stu
dents can have individual
teachers for each grade.
Mr.. Woodson said the Odricks
closing has nothing to do with
the proposed new $11 million
bond issue to be voted on Tues
day. Money for the Louise
Archer addition which makes
1t possible to abandon Odricks
was provided in a previous bond
issue.

Police Told 10 Relax
On Parking Tickets
By the As,oeio,ed pes, !.


HAGERSTOWN, Md, Jan. 81.
Mayor Herman Mills told Hag-
erstown's policemen today to
take it a little easier handing out
tickets, particularly for minor
parking violations.
Mr.. Mills assembled the entire
police force and. issued his in
Structions following the sudden
resignation of Police Commits
sioner M. E. Ellinger Thursday
midnight.
Mr.. Mills pointed out the num-
ber of traffic tickets had tripled
during the three years Mr.. Ell
linger was commissioner.
The Mayors political oppo-
nents pointed out Mr.. Ellinger
had become something of a
campaign issue in the municipal
primaries last week.
Winslow F. Burhans, who won
the Democratic nomination for
mayor in the primaries and faces
Mr.. Mills in the ) general elec-
ton March "a, called the resig-
nation a political maneuver. Mr..
Ellinger, he said, was a political
liability to Mr.. Mills.
Mr.. Mills told the policemen
they should be ambassadors of
good will. They should not use
methods Of entrapment to carry
out their duties, he said. They
should use judgment and discre-
ton in tagging cars for parking
violations.
Mr.. Mills put Capt. j. B. Brown
in charge of the police force at
least temporarily and instructed
the force that all orders would
come from Capt. Brown.

$500, 900 Hospital Rising
As Calvert Hits the Jackpot

Louis L. Goldstein, Democrat.
The measure provided that the
first $250.000 of slot machine rev.
enue be used to build a hospital.
Later, the bill was amended to
increase the amount to $500, 1000.
To the 100000 from slot ma
chimes, the Government added
an equal amount as grant
under the Hill-Burton Act. From
miscellaneous sources, $4,000 was
scraped together and the re-
mainder will be raised by the
people of the county.
The slot machine proposal at
first stunned the county's deeply
religious people and a hot fight
was on. Three hospital directors
resigned. One, DR.. Hugh C. Ward,
returned to the board and has
been active in carrying out the
plan.
Slot machines were approved
in a referendum in June, 1947,
by a four-to-one ratio after a
heated campaign.

Green Is Called in
To Fight Fairfax
School Bond Issue

Arlington Attorney John Locke
Green is about to test his legal
talents on the governmental
processes Of neighboring Fairfax
County.
Mr.. Green said yesterday that
he has been retained by the
Freeholders' Protective Associa-
tion of Fairfax County to fight
a proposed $11 million school
construction bond issue on which
a referendum is to be held Tues
day.
In Arlington County, Mr..
Green's legal battles have had
telling effects on the govern
ment. It was his suit that resulted
in the removal of three county
board members because they
were Federal employees.
Won Suit Last Week.
It was his suit that won an
Arlington Circuit Court decision
last week against Federal en-
ployeS serving on the Arlington
School Board. The three Federal
employees are remaining on the
board pending an appeal to the
Virginia Supreme Court.
One Arlington bond issue ap-
proved by the voters was blocked
by Mr.. Green before the bonds
could be sold. It was the $500, ,O0O
issue voted for swimming pools.
The court invalidated the bond
issue because of a technicality
raised by Mr.. Green regarding
wording of the referendum.
Mr.. Green did not state what
course the Fairfax litigation
would take, but is is almost sure
to involve the Federal employe
angle. He did not say whether
any action would be taken to
stop the referendum, or whether
litigation would come after
Tuesdays voting.
There are two Federal en-
ployes on the Fairfax School
Board - Hills Lory and Ran
dolph Buckley. Because of the
Federal employe difficulties in
neighboring Arlington County
the Fairfax School board has
been cautious throughout prep
aration of the bond issue to have
a unanimous vote on all de-
cislonS that might be challenged

Virginia Democrats
Ask More Entries in
Race for Governor:
By the Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, Jan. 31.-Two
leaders of the anti-organization
wing of the State Democratic
Party today called for other en-
tries in the gubernatorial race,
holding open the possibility they
may enter candidate in the
party primary this summer.
They refused to be specific,
but one of them-Richmond At
torney Martin A. Hutchinson
said you couldn't count Delegate
Robert Whitehead out yet.
Mr.. Hutchinson said the two
organization candidates who
have declared for the primary
Representative Thomas B. STAN
ley and State Senator Charles
r. Fenwick of Arhngton-didn't
satisfy him.
Hopes for Other Candidates.
Francis PickenS Miller of Abe
| marie, who rolled up impressive
votes in opposing Gov. Battle
and Senator Byrd in recent
years, declined comment beyond
saying that I'm hoping there
will be other candidates, to
provide as wide choice as
possible"
Mr.. Hutchinson, who recently
called for party unity behind a
strong loyal Democrat" who
supported Adlai Stevenson last
November, said he didn't think
the list of candidates for Gov
ernor is closed yet. When
queried who he thought might
toss his hat into the ring, he
said:
Il think there are several men
who might undertake the as
signment. And my own per-
sonal opinion is that Mr.. White
head is not out of it yet"
Demand All Over State.
There is, Mr.. Hutchinson
added, "quite a demand all over
the State for another candi-
date" BY this he meant a de-
mand among liberal and 'loyal"
Democratic elements.
Mr.. Whitehead, whom specu-
lation has tossed first into the
race and then out Of it recently,
remained uncommunicative on
the question today.
Call I can say now is what I've
said before: In due course I will
make my intentions known" the
Nelson County legislator said.
Three Announced Candidates.
So far no one has actually
qualified for the primary, but
three candidates for Gov. Battles
job have announced. The third,
after Mr.. Stanley and Mr.. Fen
wick, is w. Russell Hatchett,
former Virginia Beach city man
ager.
Another possibility. Attorney
General j. Lindsay Almond, jr.,
took himself out of the field Fri
day in the interests of organiza-
ton solidarity, he said. Mr.. AL
mond will be a candidate for
reelection as attorney general.

PRINCE FREDERICK, Nd.
Jan. 31.-A new 100000 hos
pital, made possible when CAL
vert County hit the biggest slot
machine jackpot ever heard of
in these parts, is nearing COM
pletion here.
Clamor of those who opposed
use of gambling money for such
a purpose has been long stilled
as the county looks with pride at
it's brick and steel institution.
The one-story structure on a
60-acre tract on Route 2. one
mile north of the historic county
seat, will be occupied next month
and dedicated in March.
The new hospital, which could
become a key institution in the
Washington area civil defense
plan, is designed for 80 beds. It
will accommodate SO patients
without crowding and six more
beds may be added at slight cost.
It is so planned that an addi-
tional 20-bed wing may be added
easily.
Power for Emergency.
The hospital has oxygen pipes
in each room and lavatorieS be-
tween the rooms. There are two
operating rooms, an emergency
room. a delivery room and an
X-ray suite. Emergency power
cut on automatically if the regu-
lar source fails.
The hospital has rooms with
one and two beds. but no wards.
Each wing is equipped with a
solarium, including the 12-bed
space for colored.
Chief judge John B. Gray, jr.,
chairman of the building COM
mittee, says the building and it's
facilities, "for small hospital,
just can't be surpassed" He
stressed that the structure was
designed from a strictly utili-
tartan viewpoint "and not as a
monument"
Finest Hospital Thinking.
DR.. Page C. Jett, one the hos
pital'S board of directors, said
that considering its size, the
building represents the coun-
try's finest thinking in hospital
construction"
The new institution will re-
place the 26-bed two-story
wooden county hospital in use
since it was founded in 1919 by
DR.. I. N. King, it's superinten-
dent several years. Mrs. Carita
Kearney, the present superin-
tendent. will head the staff at
the new building.
The present hospital has been
permitted to operate more than
a decade, although the State
Health Department has refused
to license it because of fire haz-
ards and inadequate facilities.
It was this situation, appar-
emily without remedy in a
county bonded to the limit OF
its low assessable base, that
prompted the idea of slot ma
chine financing in 1947.
Judge Demanded Action.
About that time Chief Judge
William M. Loker, now retired
was laundering from the bench
against the devices which long
had been operating illegally. He
demanded that they be legalizeo
or tossed out.
That set the stage for a bill
offered in the General Assembly
by the county's State Senator

Smaller Amount Suggested.
But Fairfax school officials be-
lieve If segregation is ended some
means would be found to utilize
the school buildings.
Another objection is that the
school board should be con-
tented with a smaller amount
possibly 81 million for one-year
building program.
Several members on the school
board even believed the $11 mil
lion issue should be divided into
three smaller issues. They COM
promised by agreeing not to sell
more than 81 million in one year.
But by proposing the full amount
at once, the school board can
plan a complete building pro-
gram to meet the needs every
where in the county.
