Virginia Assured
Inaugural Float
And Big Delegation

Both Virginia and Maryland
will have floats in the inaugural
parade. Virginia will have one
Of the biggest State delegations
Of any such presidential cere-
mony.
Edward r. Carr Of Alexandria.
the parade chairman, announced
that Arlington citizens had asked
permission to enter q float on
behalf Of the Old Dominion.
Earlier, Virginia's Gov. Battle
said the State didn't plan to have
a float because of the expense.
He said Virginia would be happy
for some group or organization
to furnish one. though.
Mr.. Carr said the Virginia
floats design hasn't been ap-
proved yet.
Depicts Birth of Flag.
Maryland's has, however. It
will depict the birth Of the ma
tional anthem. The forepart Of
the float will show the three
women who made the flag on
orders of the commander of Fort
McHenry in Chesapeake Bay.
The assault on the fort inspired
Francis Scott Key to write 1.-The
Star-Spangled Banner" The
float also will have a huge copy
Of the banner and a model of the
fort.
Two Of Virginia's groups will
not be in the State contingent
although they'll be marching.
They are the 100-piece Booker
T. Washington High School Band
from Norfolk and a 226-cadet
unit from John Marshall High
School in Richmond.
The official Virginia delega-
ton will be a big one, however,
even without those two organi-
cations. It includes TOO cadets
and band from Virginia Mill
tary Institute, a band and q
color guard from Virginia Poly
technic Institute and the Light
Infantry Blues of Richmond.
Band From HyattsviIIe.
Maryland will be represented
by the 80-piece Northwestern
High School Band from Hyatts-
vile and crack drill team of
go Johns Hopkins University
men from Baltimore.
The Bethesda Chevy Chase
High School Band may assist
States too far from here to fur
nish their own musicians. Miss
Bertha Adkins. Republican Ma
tional committeewoman from
Maryland, said this use of the
band had been recommended
to Parade Chairman Carr.

Falls Church Council
Warned Against Cut
In School Budget

| Falls Church School Board
Member H. P. Strople has issued
a warning to the City Council
that if the council makes a dras-
tic cut in the next school budget,
the issue will be taken to the
people by referendum.
Mr.. Strople told fellow men,
bers of the board last night
that Virginia law provides for a
vote by the people if at least
20 per cent of qualified voters
request a referendum after coun-
Gil sets the board budget.
Other members Of the School
Board refused to indorse Mr..
Strople's stand, at least for the
present.
John A. Johnson. the board
chairman, said he does not ex-
pect that all members of the
council will favor a severe cut
in the budget proposed by the
board.
$4,000 Request Reduced.
Last June. the council re-
duced the boards request for
funds by $4,000 and also
changed the method of appor-
tioning city funds. The board
was given fiat sum rather
than a part Of the tax rate. The
tax rate method previously in
effect enabled the board to share
in unanticipated revenues.
Mr.. Strople appeared before
the council last month in an
unsuccessful plea for $4,000 for
purchase of an additional school
bus. At that time. Councilman
Samuel E McCrary said he will
propose that in the 1854 budg-
ct. funds for school bus trans
portation be eliminated.
The school board, in other
business last night, received an
opinion from City Attorney
Lytton H. Gibson on budget
procedure. The attorney, reply
ing to a board request for an
opinion, said it would be legal
for the board to be assigned q
portion of the tax rate rather
than a fiat sum. The power to
decide which method to use.
however, lies with the council,
he added.
Cottage Inspection Urged.
State fire and health officials
will be asked to inspect cot
tages used as classrooms at
Madison Jefferson Elementary
School. Board members said they
will request periodic inspection
OF temporary buildings as long
as they must be used as class
rooms.
Mr., Strople and John Wells
were authorized to compile q
written code of board policies.
The board also decided to in
vestigate the possibility of re-
tanning its own attorney. The
city attorney has been legal adj
visor to the board.

The Week in Religion
By Religious News Service

Uncertainty marks the future
of the churches behind the Iron
Curtain these days.
:. In recent weeks. spokesmen for
some Soviet satellite regimes
have made conciliatory state
mentS. There have been a few
concrete acts that would seem to
indicate an easing of the pres
sure on religious activities.
Most of these acts, however,
have been only token moves
small gestures toward public
opinion No Iron Curtain gov
ernment has followed the East
German regime in any large
scale retreat from the interna-
tional Communist assault on re-
ligion.
Only the most naive obServ-
ers could view recent Communist
gestures as a genuine turnabout
in Solivet policy. Indeed, the
Communists themselves have
made it clear that their basic
hostility to religion remains un-
changed.

Delaware Lima
Kingdom of East

Delaware Gamers turned out
more than one-ffth of the coun-
try's supply of canned lima beans
last year, making the Diamond
State second only to California in
the harvesting of the vegetable for
processing.
l.. M. Goodwin, Delaware repre-
sentative of American Can Com
pany, pointed out that in the last
20 years Delaware farmers have
increased acreage devoted to lima
beans for processing nearly five
times. ''Production," he said, ''has
shown an even greater increase.
Lima bean harvests last year were
seven times greater than they were
in 1882"
In 1852, he explained, farmers
harvested 1920 tons of lima beans
from $4,000 acres compared with
1910 tons from 1000 acres in 1882.
Goodwin added that Gamers and
freezers paid over $4,000, 900 to the
states lima bean growers for last
years crop, and used approximate
ly 1875, 900 cans to make the veg
etable available on grocery shelves
in practically every state in the
nation.
