Double Shifts Forced
On Virginia Schools
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, April 4.-Twenty-
six counties and 19 cities still run
double-shift elementary school
classes in Virginia because of the
shortage of classroom space.
A total of 33,701 students are
affected by the double-shift ar
rangement, according to a State
Department of Education report
released today. This figure is
7.18 per cent of 477,229 ele-
mentary school children enrolled
for the current school year.
The report also documents
overcrowding of classrooms and
substandard teachers in ele-
mentary grades. 1t shows that
a little over Is per cent Of the
States elementary teachers now
hold emergency or substandard
licenses.
The report puts into figures
problems already cited by the
General Assembly's Commission
to Study the Establishment of
Foundation Program in Edu-I
cation. The commission empha-
sized double shifts, overcroWding
and Substandard teachers in the
elementary schools. .....
Dowell j. Howard, State
SIlnArintAndent of PlIhlic In.
struction. said one of the most
encouraging steps toward solv-
ing the teacher problem was a
teacher recruitment program be-
ing conducted by private citizens.
On overcrowding Of schools,
shown by the number having to
hold double shifts, Howard said
the ''lack Of funds in the Literary
Fund" is one of the things hold
ing back progress.

Last Wednesday the board en-

a woman to want to get on the

He kept insisting he has high
regard for women.
But if we let them join,
there'd be men who couldn't at
tend the meetings. You'd be
surprised how many men would
have to quit. Their wives wouldn't
let 'em attend the meetings. Or,
if they did let their husbands
attend. they'd insist on coming
with them. I don't have any
trouble like that and neither do
a lot of men and it's hard for
them to understand how much
grief it can cause a fellow"
He said the vote was reversed
because a lot of members, are
in businesses where they have
to deal with women, and can
not afford to annoy Lucy Ston-
ers who would take their trade
elsewhere.
A secret vote protects a man
caught in a spot like that, he
said.

Road Plan in Danger
BY the Assoeioted Press


ANNAPOLIS, April Auto
matte tax reduction was voted
down in a House committee to-
day and the reverberations
Jared hopes for speedy agree
ment on a roads program in the
Senate.
The two issues were inter-
twined as the legislature tried
desperately to make some prog
ress on the big roads bill before
taking an Easter recess.
A is per cent reduction on re-
turns due April Is already has
been enacted.
Senator Turnbull, Democrat,
of Baltimore County underscored
the possibility of a collision be-
tween the highway and tax pro-
posals. After the House Ways
and Means Committee disap-
proved the Senate-passed bill to
use surplus revenues for tax re-
lief, Senator Turnbull COM
mented:
I'VE believe the bill is as i'm
portant as the roads bill. In the
long run, perhaps even more i'm
portant to the State"
His reaction to the committee
action renewed speculation that
some Senators would pause on
the roads program in an at
tempt to coax the House into
a friendlier attitude on the tax
measure.
But one of their strongest
supporters in the House, Dele
gate Boone. Democrat. Of Balti-
more County said he saw little
chance of upsetting the commit
tees verdict.
Boone Pledges Effort.
Mr.. Boone nonetheless prom
ised to try to win backing of the
full House on Monday. He did
SO at the behest of the II Demo-
cratic Senators who sponsored
the tax-reduction plan.
Neither Senator Turnbull nor
any of the other Senators would
go so far as to say rejection
of that plan would wreck the
roads program.
The House last night rushed
out the Republican administra-
tion's roads bill with four-year
stops to make it more accept
able. Many Delegates - and
Senators-had protested that the
original call for a 12-year high
way-building blueprint involving
1858 million spread too much
money over too long q period.
In the Senate Finance Com
mittee. there had been much talk
Of authorizing only a stopgap
bond issue to permit more re-
search for a final decision next
session.
The committee was all set to
tackle roads again tonight, but
one look at the 40-odd amend
ments led the members to put off
the final check until Monday
last day of the session.
AS amended in the House, the
bill would allow the legislature
to review work every four years
and call a halt if it is dissatisfied.
The States gasoline tax would
Jump from 5 to 6 cents gallon
this year, but proposed raises in
motor vehicle registration fees
would be postponed until 1855.
Some hoped that by then the
fuel levy funds would be big
enough to forget the other in
creaSeS.
No more than $25 million of
the $3.50 million anticipated in
bonds could be 11oated in one
issue. The ceiling on outstand-
ing bonds would be $50 million.
Those amendments had been
added by the Ways and Means
Committee, while it was bott1ing
up the tax-reduction measure.
Majority Leader Logan called
for a vote on the latter this
afternoon. It was rejected 17-9.

Report on Political
Affiliations in Probe

The Arlington County Board
has asked the Electoral Board to
report the political aff1liations Of
the county's % precinct regis
trarS.
Board Chairman Robert A.
Peck, Republican, said that if
the report shows too many of
them are of one party. maybe
that's one reason for changing
the present system"
Mr.. Peck made the statement
after one of the registrars, Ralph
Kimble, also a Republican. of
Virginia Highlands. said local
registrars "are political toys and
should be done away with" Mr..
Kimble said prospective voters
could qualify with the Central
Registrar at the Courthouse.
Study of Proposal Asked.
The board voted. at its regular
meeting yesterday. to ask the
County Electoral Board to study
the proposal. Along with the
Electoral Boards comments on
the suggested change, the County
Board asked a report on the
political affiliations of precinct
registrars.
AS first phrased, the request
called for designation of whether
registrars are Democrats or Re-
publicanS. Board Member Alvin
F. Kimel, Independent, said
registrars also should be asked
whether they belong to Arlington
Independent Movement, and the
board agreed to his suggestion.
Mr.. Kimble said he was sug-
getting the change because 10
new voting precincts have been
created land the Democrats and
Republicans are fighting to see
who gets the jobs" He called the
job a headache and said he
didn't see why any one would
want it.
Called Public Service.
Commonwealth's Attorney Will
liam j. Hassan, Democrat, said
the question was one of public
service, not politics.
The registrars are appointed
by the Electoral Board and re-
ceive 35 cents for each name
they register. and other fees.
The Commemorative Attorney
said it is too late to change the
registration system this year be-
cause State law provides that
such a change may be made only
in the month of March.
Mr.. Peck asked if there wasn't
some way the change could be
made now.
That's one thing you Repub-
licans can't do," Mr.. Hassen re-
piled. "You can't change the
calendar"
Bridge Study Ordered.
Mr.. Peck retorted, "You Demo-
Gratis did 1t. you changed Thanks
giving"
Not the Virginia Democrats"
said Mr.. HasSan.
In other business, the board
ordered a study of all informa-
ton regarding new Potomac
River bridges and asked that

sible. as
