Fenwick Denounces
Stanley, Charging He
Is Dodging Issues

State Senator Charles R. Fen
wick of Arlington yesterday
lashed at his opponent for the
Democratic nomination for gov
ernor. Thomas B. Stanley, as
completely Indifferent to the
rights of the people of Virginia"
Seldom in history" Mr.. Fem
wick said in a press statement,
has Virginia had a guberna-
torial candidate who so persist
emily lodged the issues, and who
was so Indifferent to the will
Of the people. Stanley's attitude
is contemptuous, to say the
least"
Mr.. Fenwick continued:
by pleading prior engage
ments, my opponent has refused
to meet with me before groups
where he knew he would have to
answer face-to-face questions.
He had the effrontery to tell the
two highly respected organiza-
tions Oeague of Women Voters
and Legislative Committee of the
National Council Of Jewish
Women1 that he would not even
answer their questionnaires by
mail. Now, after he has felt the
wrath of the public, he says he
will discuss the issues, but on his
own terms, not specifically but
generally.
If the voters are not able to
get a specific statement of his
position during an election" Mr..
Fenwick. asked, what satisfac-
ton could they expect to get
from him as Governor? Having
gotten away with complete poll
tical responsibility in the
House of Representatives. STAN
ley evidently feels that he can
continue to ignore the rights OF
the people and duties of a pub
lie servant"
In a broadcast last week, Mr..
Fenwick said that Mr.. Stanley,
who lives in Henry County and
is a former Representative. an
swered less than so per cent of
the roll call votes in the House
In 1949.
Mr.. Stanley, in a statement
last week concerning his failure
to answer queStionnaireS, said
he would cover "all major cam
paign issues" in speeches and
uttarances addressed to the pub
lie in general, rather than to any
particular group.
He took the position that he
didn't mean to Snub any fine

Cut in Teacher
|SaIariesSee
In Alexandra
Reduction Feared
IF School Fund !
Slash Is Voted
By Tom Burke

Teachers in Alexandria may
get pay cut instead Of a raise
next year if a proposed $275, 900
reduction in school funds Is
voted, city councilmen have been
warned.
School Supt. T. G. Williams
said such salary cuts would be
a strong. possibility, in a letter
given to councilmen at q closed
session Friday night.
Heads Of other city depart
ments and City Manager IRA +.
Willard reported that q $275 900
cut in the proposed general city
budget would cause a reduction
of services in the coming year
below present Jewels.
OHicials Study Effect.
The council met with school
board representatives. members
of its tax study committee and
other city officials to receive
analysis Of the effect a $3.50 900
slash would have in the proposed
81, 7,295, 900 budget. The council
directed that the total slash be
divided equally between the
school budget and the general
city budgetH
The $550,000 cut is being con-
templated as a means of avoid
ing imposition of a 2 per cent
retail sales tax in order to bal
ance the proposed budget.
A 5 per cent pay increase for
all city employees would be wiped
out by the proposed fund cut.
City Manager Willard declared.
In addition, funds for increased
garbage and trash collections. re-
pair of storm damage which re-
suited from a flood last month,
and care of medically INDECENT
residents would be lost If the
SITE, 900 slash is approved.
Analyses Outlays.
Mr.. Williams said the school
budget proposed for the coming
year would be an increase of
1892 400 over the current years
operating costs. OF this increase
$163 900 is planned to be used
for a teacher salary raise, $119,-
600 for employment of nearly
80 additional teachers and $780,
900 for increased operating costs
largely resulting from opening of
new schools.
Also included in the increased
school budget is $4,000 for ad-
ditions to clerical and custodial
personnel. $25. 900 for salary in
creases for present non-profes-
sional employees and $4,000 for
employment Of a cafeteria super
visor. ..
The cut of $275 900 now con-
templated by the council would
mean mot providing supplies
and facilities we now have and
or reducing present salaries"
Mr.. Williams said. Failure to
employ new teachers would re-
suit in increasing the number
of students in each classroom,
he added.
The council must adopt the
budget before June 80.

GET Commissions
BY the Assoeioted Press

BLACKSBURG, Va, June g.
The keystone of national Sc
curity rests on a strong reserve
force of citizen soldiers, trained
and ready to be modified with
out delay. Maj. Gen. L. D. Carter,
commanding general of the End
Army. Fort Meade, Md. said
here today as he presented re-
serve commissions to 254 Vir-
ginia Tech seniors.
Divided by services, the COM
missions as second lieutenants
went to 172 in the Army and 81
in the Air Force. Most Of them
have received orders to report
for active duty sometime this
summer.
The baccalaureate sermon will
be preached tomorrow morning,
and degrees will be conferred at
2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Almost IS per cent of the Of
ficers coming into the service
are furnished by ROTC, Gen,
Carter said. ROTC is the actual
backbone of the officer corps,
he added. and is in the American
tradition in which every citizen
feels it his duty to participate
in the common defense.
IF we had not had our re-
serves to call on in 1885," he
said. lit is questionable whether
we could have held on the Ko-
rean peninsula. If we had not
been able to hold, it is quite pos
sible the entire Far East would
have been lost to the Commu-
nistS by now. The clear lesson
of this partial mobilization is
that unless all possibility Of total
war is eliminated-a highly un-
likely situation our reserve
forces must be steadily increased
in size and readiness"

Drought and Worms
Threaten Crops in
Maryland, Virginia

Drought and army worms con-
tinued to plague farmers of
Maryland and Virginia yester-
day.
In Southern Virginia, tobacco,
Irish potatoes and snap beans
are threatened by a growing
drought which could duplicate
last summers $50-million loss
unless rain falls soon.
In Central Maryland and the
Eastern Shore. the creeping on
slaught of the army worm has
spread from Montgomery County
to neighboring Prince Georges
and Frederick Counties while still
other hordes Of the browuish-
green worms have been reported
around Denton in Caroline Coun-
ty across Chesapeake Bay, land
near Cambridge in Dorchester
County. ..r &
Barley Cut Early.
Frederick County Agent Henry
r. Shoemaker yesterday said the
worst area in that county was
Buckeystown A d a m town =
Doubs. Several farmers, he re-
ported, had cut their barley be-
fore it matured in Sa1vage e
attempts.
The Eastern Shore invasion
was centered about Tuckahoe
Neck, near Denton, in Caroline
County but was reported spread
ing.
Prince Georges County Agri-
cultural Agent P. E. Clark re-
ported the worms have destroyed
a 10-acre field of barley and
vetch on William Woodward's
3,O0O-acre Bel Air farm on Route
so near Collington.
Mr.. Clark said he made an
inspection of the field and found
plenty of damage but could not
find the worms themselves.
Tobacco Hit Hard.
The earlineSs of this seasons
dry period in Southern Virginia
has hit tobacco especially hard
because the crop has not had a
chance to begin growing prop
erly. Tobacco is the big money
crop Of the southside.
Most growers have had to re-
plant at least once, and some
as many as three times. Topping
of the bleak outlook is the fact
that tobacco plants are extrenes!y
scarce.
Farm experts say the tobacco
crop can be saved if a good rain
comes in the next few days.
In addition to the sun, winds
have helped to dry out the
ground, making it more difficult
to put out new plants unless they
are frequently watered.
Even more serious damage has
been done the oat and barley
crops. In many instances, they
have been nearly wiped out
Many have dried up and some
farmers have been feeding Their
cattle from barns.
The hay crop has been haro
hit, as have early vegetable
gardens. The winter fheat cror
managed to get of fairly lucky
with only light damage.

man for 1900 drivers said late

Mrs. Carrye Minor
Loses Only Child

One of the most touching scenes
of grief displayed in Douglass
School in a long time was that
shown by Mrs. Carrye E. Minor,
teacher of home economics, upon
receiving word of her sons death
on Monday, January S, 1858 as a
result of a tonsillectomy performed
in the general hospital of Jensen,
Florida.
Mrs. Minor had returned only the
night before from a holiday vaca-
ton spent with her family at Jen-
sen Beach, Florida.
While there her son, Don, age
8, and two younger brothers suffer
ed severe throat troubles. Ever on
the alert to make her family as
happy as possible, she placed all
three in the hospital to be attend
ed to.
Surgery was recommended for
her son. Leaving him in the care
of the hospital personnel and her
mother, she left on Sunday morn
ing, January 4th in order to be at
her teaching post for the opening Of
School on Monday morning, Jan
uary 5th.
At exactly 1000 a. m. Monday,
a scream that had all the anguish
of death in it was heard. The
whole school community wonder
ed what could have happened tC
have caused such an outburst from
one so sedate and reserved as Mrs
Minor. Cause? the death of her
only child.
Mrs. Minor, the whole community
shares your grief.
We, around Douglass, who know
you personally, know what hopes
and dreams you had for Don's FIJI
ture. We know how dearly yot
loved him. Your every plan was t.
make him happy.
We can only ask that his cherish
ed memory ever remain with yol
and that your great loss be con
tinuous reminder to all of us tina
man proposes and God disposes
Accept our deepest sympathy il
your hour of trial.
