School Bond Sales to Citizens
Urged in Litigation Deadlock

and the School Board to plan a
program.
The f1ve-member committee
recommended the larger meet
ing after reporting that the
School Board needs about So
100000 to complete projects now
under contract and under con-
struction.
Immediate needs are estimated
at 100000. The amount needed
by next January was estimated
by the committee at $2.5 million.
The balance would be required
by July l, 1854.
State Assistance Proposed.
Mr.. Ciaffone said the informal
group of citizens was exploring
the prospect of setting up "a
legal entity" to permit residents
to buy small denomination
bonds.
Bonding firms have declined
to buy the bonds because the
School Board is unable to furnish
a certificate of no litigation. This
is because of suits filed by Mr..
Green since last September seek
ing to ouSt three School Board
members who are Federal en-
ployeS.
Arlington Delegate j. Maynard
Magruder will lead a delegation
to Richmond Monday to look
into the possibilities of the State
buying the bonds through an
underwriting firm, or of a State
loan to continue part of. the
needed school construction.
At last Saturdays county board
meeting, a spokesman for Ar
lington Independent Movement
asked the board to consider bor-
rowing funds to lend the School
Board enough money to meet
the construction crisis.
On Tuesday, the School Board
filed a 100000 damage suit
against Mr.. Green, charging
that he has kept litigation pend
ing regardless of it's merits" -"

Virginia Doctor Fears
Teen-Age Polio Outbreak

Mass inoculations against po-
lilo have shifted the disease into
the upper age bracket" the
health officer in Marion, Va,
said last night.
There 4,577 Smyth County
children were given shots of
gamma globulin yesterday and
another session is scheduled for
today.
DR.. James M. Suter expressed
fear that the inoculations would
lead to more cases of polio among
teen-agers in the county.
"We don't know why" DR.. Su-
ter said. "but the clinics seem
to increase the number of cases
among teen-agers. 1t did in
Washington County, Va, and in
Montgomery. Ala, and will prob
ably do it here"
The mass inoculations have
reduced the polio rate among
the youngsters in the age group
in which they are given, 2
months through 9 years, DR.. Su-
ter said.
Meanwhile the State Health
Department in Richmond an
nounced the polio toll had
reached 40.

Public Works Chief
Reports Half Of 38
Projects Completed

! It looks as If xandria
doesn't have so many incomplete
municipal construction projects
after all. according to records of
the public works director.
A report by Public Works Di-
rector C. Luckett Watkins was
made public yesterday in which
he emphatically denies there are
40 incomplete projects.
Mr.. Watkins had been asked
to make the report by City Man
ager Ira Willard. Mayor Mar
shall j. Beverley brought the
issue to a head by complaining
that several storm sewer projects
were way behind schedule.
In his report, Mr.. Watkins
states that information pub
lished in newspapers concerning
40 uncompleted projects is en-
tirely erroneous"
The newspaper accounts were
based on information given out
by Mr.. Willard, and all quoted
him directly. After studying Mr..
Watkins report yesterday, Mr..
Willard declared that he had
based his earlier statement on
financial records which were
available to him at the time. He
explained that financial records
showed most ALLEGATIONS were not
fully expended, and therefore it
appeared that the projects were
incomplete.
Monthly Reports Ordered.
But Mr.. Watkins report shows
that many of these projects are
in fact complete and others are
well under way" said Mr.. Will
lard.
He declared that he and Mr..
Watkins were not at odds. He
said Mr.. Watkins had been
asked to supply monthly con-
struction progress reports from
now on so there never will be any
question again about the status
of municipal work.
Mr.. Watkins report states that
the public works department has
38 current projects-not 40. OF
the 38, exactly half have been
completed, 10 are currently under
construction, two others are
joint city, State and Federal
highway jobs which are in the
hands of Public Roads officials,
another project is about to be
awarded to a private contractor,
and six have not been started.
All of these jobs listed by Mr..
Watkins are those for which city
council has allocated funds.
Some Money Not AllOcated
His report also lists 35 other
municipal projects tentatively
set up under current bond issues
but for which money has not yet
actually been allocated.

Sanitary Rates

To Mcke|din
Silver Spring Group
Seeks Help to Halt
Increase in Churoes

Leaders of the opposition to
rate increases effected this year
by the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission plan to
take their case to Gov. McKeldin.
Gov. McKeldin has been CO.
operative with us in the past,
and we intend to seek his fur
ther aid." said Willard A. Nor
ris, president of the Allied Civic
Group of Silver Spring.
Mr.. Morris announced his
groups plans after a conference
last night with H. Ralph Miller,
the organizations lawyer, and
Stephen B. Hotsko, Government
accountant, who has been aiding
the civic group in it's opposition
to the rate increases.
Cites AppOintive Power.
Mr.. Morris pointed out that
Gov. McKeldin makes the ap-
pointmentS to the Sanitary Com
mission as well as the Maryland
Public Service Commission, which
Tuesday upheld the sanitary
agency's new rates.
Mr.. Morris said his group is
mot content" with the PSC de-
cislon. The PSC held a hearing
on the rate increases last month
on a complaint filed by the AL
lied Civic Group.
The sanitary commission
meanwhile. hailed the PSC de-
cision as "a clear vindication
of the utility's action.
The PSC found the three new
charges established by the COM
mission in April are mot exces-
sive or unreasonable" The new
rates at issue are a 14-cent sew
age usage charge added to the
present 27-cent per 1000 gallons
Of water consumed, effective
last March l, and an increase in
the Montgomery County refuse
collection rate from $1.65 to
$2.25 month, effective Septem-
ber /, and an increase in incin-
orator rates from 50 to 81 a
ton. effective last May /.
Want Corrective Action.
Mr.. Morris also said his group
is more determined than ever
to seek corrective legislation"
I'VE feel some means of con-
troll over this huge public utility
should be given to the taxpayers
of suburban Maryland" he said
The Allied Civic Group and the
Prince Georges and Montgomery
County Civic Federations have
agreed to work together this yeal
in a study of possible legisla-
ton pertaining to the sanitary
commission.

Virginia Plans Drive
To Boost Beef Sales
As Result Of DROUGHT
BY the Associofed Press

RICHMOND, Aug. 27.-Vir-
ginia's second worst drought in
history has forced the State
Agriculture Department to sup
port a program of boosting
cattle sales by offering economy
beef" I'd housewives of the
State.
To prevent an overcrowded
market as farmers increase the
sale of cattle because of feed
shortages caused by the drought,
the department and several
other groups yesterday mapped
plans, to aid both the farmer and
housewife.
In effect the aim of the pro-
gram is to sell beef products at
somewhat lower than usual
prices and thus boost sales. 1t
is believed the increased volume
will help make up the difference
caused by lower sale prices.
Farmers Forced to Sell.
Many farmers are getting rid
of cattle that normally wouldn't
be sold until spring, according
to Agriculture Commissioner
Parke Brinkley.
He said the beef won't be top
grade, but housewives should be
able to get bargains in such
products as chuck roast. ground
beef, short ribs, veal rump,
frankfurters and bologna.
Representatives of retail food
store concerns and Mrs. Mavis
Gibbs, home economist of the
Southern Planter, farm maga-
zine. attended the conference at
the Agriculture Department
Mrs. Gibbs was named to work
out ways to publieize recipes on
beef cuts.
Urged to Spark Drive.
Members of the Virginia Beef
Cattle Producers Association
were urged to go out and talk
up your product" and the Vir-
ginia Farm Bureau Federation
and the State Grange agreed to
plug beef as much as possible.
Damage from this years
drought so far has been much
heavier than the $50 million loss
from last years severe dry spell,
according to Agriculture De-
partment officials.

A last-reSort campaign is being
planned to have Arlington cit
liens themselves buy the con-
struction bonds the School Board
has been unable to sell because
of pending litigation.
The project now under study
would be undertaken only if
measures now being considered
fail to break the financial log
jam which is threatening the
chool-building program.
At an emergency meeting last
night, the county board was in
formed of the plan by Robert w.
Cox, a former chairman of the
board.
Mr.. Cox said a group of cit
liens, including Albert Ciaffone,
State Department employe and
president of the Williamsburg
Civic Association. is studying
the proposal.
Mr.. Ciaffone. after the meet
ing, said:
Were tired of John Locke
Green; we're tired of the School
Board; we're tired of the politi-
clans giving us the run-around,
telling us what they can and
cannot do.
Let them battle it out, while
the citizens of Arlington buy the
bonds themselves. Well cam
paign door-to-door, and the
voters and parents of Arlington
will take care of their school
system"
Hits Study Proposal.
Mr.. Ciaffone was told that the
county board, at last nights
meeting, had agreed to further
study of the problem.
That's no solution" he COM
mented.

meet with a special flve-member

for these projects is insufficient

tention be given to establishing

Virginia Candidates
To Give Views at
Courthouse Rally

Republicans will launch their
election campaign in Northern
Virginia with a rally in Fairfax
Tuesday night at which candi-
dates for State and local Offices
will appear.
State Senator Ted Dalton,
who heads the ticket as candi-
date for governor, will be there
at 7:30 pm. in the county court
house. Today. he was pushing
his campaign in the Richmond
area after firing one of his
Sharpest blasts at his Democratic
rival, former Representative
Thomas B. Stanley.
The G. 0. P. candidate from
Radford was scheduled to at
tend a non-political Shrine pic
mic in Richmond and later meet
with city leaders before heading
back to Southwest Virginia to
continue his appeal.
Running Mates Attend.
His running mates, Stephen
Timberlake of Staunton, for
lieutenant governor, and Walter
Hoffman of Norfolk for attorney
general, also will attend the
Fairfax rally, according to
Robert S. Hope of Alexandria,
10th congressional district G. o.
P. campaign manager.
Suburban area aspirants for
the House of Delegates will pre-
sent their views. They are Mrs.
Cynthia Zimmerman and Harris
I. Richards, candidates from
Fairfax County; Robert McGin-
mis-, J. Fuller Groom and Ray
monl Belew, candidates from
Arlington. and Richard Parli.
candidate for the Arlington
County Board.
Representative Broyhill, the
10th Districts Republican mem
ber of Congress. will serve as
chairman.
Mr.. Dalton, going to Richmond
after a meeting with G. o. P.
leaders in Lynchburg, immedi-
ately criticized Mr.. Stanley's
hesitancy this week in answer
ing a query about Virginia's
speed. according to an Associated
Press dispatch.
Speed Law Issue.
Both candidates we're asked
Tuesday whether they favored
retaining the law requiring sus-
pension of a drivers permit after
two speeding convictions within
IL months and whether they
would fight efforts to weaken or
nullify the law by crippling
amendments.
Mr.. Dalton replied immediate
ly he would oppose any attempts
to weaken or repeal the law, but
Mr.. Stanley first said he would
have to wait until after the Sep
temper 3 session of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee
and other party leaders, who are
expected to set up the party's
campaign plans and policy.
Several hours later, however,
Mr.. Stanley said he definitely"
favors retaining the law and
most positively will oppose any
effort" to weaken or nullify it.
II can't imagine why a candi-
date for governor, man expert
enced in State problems and af-
fairs, would have to ask anyone
about taking stand on such a
simple question vital to our
highway safety" Mr.. Dalton said
yesterday.
II just can't understand how
a candidate for governor can
say he has to take this thing
up with a committee. and then.
few hours later, presumably
after receiving his instructions,
but long before this committee is
to meet, come out with a definite
and positive statement"
