End Of Racial Laws
In Schools Possible,
Alexandra Warned

The head of the Alexandria
school system last night admon-
ished the school board to pre-
pare itself for the possibility of
forthcoming Supreme Court
decision that could decree segre-
cation is unlawful in the Nations
schools.
Supt. of Schools T. C. Williams
told the board in his monthly
report the abolition of racial
barriers in Alexandria schools
inevitably would require the city
to revise its educational plans
to meet the eventuality.
Although the school superin-
tendent recommended no spe-
cific action, he limited that "a
wholesale school reZoning" pro-
gram was a step the board might
be forced to consider should the
high court ban school Segrega-
ton.
High School Delayed.
Mr.. Williams reported the
architect of the proposed new
high school at Valley Lane and
Seminary road is having mechan-
ical layout troubles that have re-
suited in the boards postponing
the hearing of construction bids
until December 9. Bid openings
for the new grade school on
North Commonwealth avenue
also will be taken up then.
The school superintendent said
construction on the Patrick
Henry School in the Shirley-Duke
area is nearly finished. Only the
auditorium remains to be built,
and the cafeteria to be equipped,
said Mr.. Williams. The school
opened last month.
1913 Enrolled.
Enrolment in the Alexandria
schools has risen by 895 over last
year to a new high total of TO-
1873, the superintendent revealed.
An additional 952 students are
registered in the city's adult
program being conducted in the
evening at Parker-Gray High
School, Mr.. Williams added.
Mr.. Williams said the present
average monthly school bill for
Alexandria is about $4,000 less
than a year ago. pointing out
that overall payments amount
to nearly $4,000 a month. He
said the school system employs
about half of the City Of Alex
andria's municipal staff with 658
on the payroll.
Five Teachers Appointed.
The school board took these
actions on the recommendations
of Supt. Williams:
/. Appointed five new elemen-
tary school teachers.
2. Voted to ask Alexandria
police to give protection after
school dismissal to students of
George Washington High School
at the intersection of Mount
Vernon avenue and Adams street.
3. Authorized the school SUI
perintendent to buy a new
school bus to accommodate the
transportation needs of an un-
precedented number of Alexan-
dria school children from the
new apartment developments,
particularly in the Bradley Tow
erS area.
The appointees are:
Mrs. Eileen H. Morrow, first
grade, Mount Vernon School;
Mrs. Royce r. Bedford. second
grade, Mount Vernon School;
Mrs. Celia w. Andrews, sixth
grade, Mount Vernon School;
Mrs. Marie G. O'Connor, fifth

Legislative Council
Debates Income Tax
And Assessment Bills
By the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 15.-Pro-
posalS calling for automatic in
come tax reductions, under Ger
tain circumstances, and for re-
vision of the property assessment
law come before the State Legis-
lative Council today.
The council will act on recon-
mendations by it's Budget and
Finance Committee that it ap-
prove:
/. A bill that would give Mary
land taxpayers an automatic re-
duction in their income tax rate
whenever the State treasury sur
plus reaches a stated amount.
The proposal is based on a law
in effect in Virginia. 1t was ap-
proved by the Finance Committee
on a straight party vote, GA,
with Democrats in favor.
New Assessment Bill.
2. A bill to put property as
sesSmentS into effect at the end
OF the year in which the assess
ments were made. Present law
requires political subdivisions to
reassess one-third of their prop
erty each year, but assessments
are not put into effect until the
end of the third year, when all
new assessments have been COM
pleted.
3. A bill to abolish the State
tax on real estate.
4. A bill to exempt the Red
Cross from certain taxes.
The Finance Committee chair
man, House Speaker John C. Lu-
Der, called for council approval
of the measures late yesterday,
but Delegate Robinson led a
movement to delay consideration
for a day.
Urges More Debate.
Mr.. Robinson contended the
measures were of such import
ance and so controversial in
nature that they require full con-
sideration and debate.
Mr.. Robinson also led a move
to recommit to the Finance Com
mittee, for further study, a bill
that would double the States
contribution to the school con-
stl'uction incentive fund. Such
an increase would cost the State
an estimated 81 million a year.
The automatic income tax re-
duction bill, as approved by the
Finance Committee, would give
taxpayers a reduction in their
State income tax rate only after
81 million had been set aside
from any State treasury sur
plus.

Take Ny Word for 1t By F'o,k Colby

Now that radio, TV and mo-
ton pictures have put an excel
lent grade Of neutral speech into
mass production. there is a new
interest in the study of speech.
The great and constant impact
of standardized speech on the
ears Of 140 million Americans is
bringing about uniformity of
speech throughout the Nation.
I am sure that every one who
listened to the reports of the
inauguration day ceremonies
was impressed by the consist
emily good enunciation, pronun-
citation, ETC.. of the announcers.
It is said. however, that
Homer himself hath been OBJ
serv'd to nod" so it is inevitable
that occasionally even the best
announcers will mispronounce a
word, or even misuse one. There
fore, should like to warn my
readers once more that radio
recommendations are not neces-
sarily correct. When an I'M
familiar pronunciation smites
