School Board Acts
TO Relieve Crowdinu
Al Robert {. Lee

The Alexandria School Board
has decided to rearrange the
schedules of some of its ele-
mentary school children pend
ing further progress on a school
construction program.
The board last night voted
to transport % fourth grade
students and their teacher from
the Patrick Henry School in
Shirley Duke to less crowded
facilities at the Robert E. Lee
School. School Superintendent
T. c. Williams said the change
would be made soon.
Parents of first-grade stu
dents at the Maury School,
where overcrowded classrooms
also are hampering normal
school routine, will be asked by
the board to make a decision
to solve that problem. The
board agreed to consult the
parents on a choice of trans
ferring about IL "one-low" pu-
pills to the George Mason School
or establishing a halliday sched-
ule at Maury.
May Go to Barrett.
Fifth-grade or seventh-grade
students at the Mason School
will be moved to the Barrett
School to make space for this
transfer. if it is ordered, the
board said, or else they will
be accommodated in temporary
quarters elsewhere. Temporary
school quarters proposed in
cluded the city fire house ad-
joining the Barrett School or
one of several churches in the
area.
MIR. Williams stressed that par
entS involved in the Patrick
Henry School transfer were not
being given alternatives because
that is a situation where some
thing must be done right away"
Transportation of the students
would not entail extra school bus
costs. the board was told, and
would add only a few minutes to
bus schedules.
OfIices Recommended.
The old Lee School on Prince
street was recommended by Mr..
Williams as a possible future
location for school system Offices.
The 16-room building is vacant
now because lack of playground
area makes it unsuitable for chill
dren. The School Board now
occupies cramped quarters in an
old residence at 208 North Co
lumbus street, and has never in
its history had adequate Office
space. according to the Superin-
tendent.

ber, recommended a study Of the

Citizens Group 10 Study
Fairfax Tax Problems

A citizens committee will be
appointed to study Fairfax
County's mounting tax problems.
Creation of the group was
authorized by the Board Of
County Supervisors yesterday on
motion Of Arthur Shaffer. Mem
bers probably will be named next
week.
Mr.. Shaffer said he wanted
the committee to compare tax
revenues and costs of services in
the rural and suburban areas.
He said he hoped the committee
could recommend new tax
sources to relieve the growing
levy on real estate.
Rapid development in the
suburban section has brought
demands for more and more
services. while rural residents
have protested that their taxes
have gone up unfairly to pay
for services they don't want.

Five graves discovered on the
site where a school is being built
in Kentland in Prince Georges
County, Md, are making the
school job cost a bit more than
expected.
william 8. Schmidt, county
school head. said the graves won't
delay the project but the coffins
will have to be moved.

nothing in the deeds which
would make a buyer leave the
graves where they are. So, he
explained. they can be moved to

Gaithersburg 10 Act
On Better. Guarding
Of Grade CROSSINGS

In the wake of last nights
auto-train crash. Gaithersburg
Mayor Harry C. Perry has called
a special meeting of the Town
Council tonight to discuss the
need for additional safeguards
at the towns two railroad grade
crossings.
Mayor Perry said the town
may ask the Baltimore g. Ohio
Railroad for flashing lights and
automatic gates at the Summit
avenue and Chestnut street cross
ings.
Only signals at Summit ave.
nue., scene Of last nights fatal
crash. are a bell and warning
signs. A watchman, on duty
only between 6 a I'm. and 10 pm,
had left. the scene IS minutes
before the crash.
Meanwhile, tgomery
County Manager Irving G.. Nc
Nayr speculated that the sacci-
dent might be "the spark"
needed for q move to get grade
separations at crossings through
out the county.
Grade Separations Needed.
Although such separations are
costly. Mr.. McNayr said, he feels
they offer the only real answer
to dangerous crossings.
Mr.. McNayr said he would
confer later today with George
Nesbitt. the County Council
president, to discuss the problem.
Mayor Perry said the town has
had a running battle with the
railroad for years over safe
guards at the crossings. At one
le, he said. 'watchman was
moved from one of the points,
ut was reassigned after the
town protested.
Hyattsville Waging Fight.
Even among townspeople, how
ever, there has been dissension
over whether automatic gates
should be installed, Mayor Perry
said. Such proposals, he added,
never have gone beyond the "in-
formal discussion" stage.
The grade crossing problem,
has plagued officials
OF nearby counties for years.
Hyattsville Mayor Jesse s.
Baggett said he has been wag-
ing "a personal fight to get a
watchman for the Melrose cross
ing just off Rhode Island ave-
nue.. Since automatic gates were
installed three or four years ago.
ne said, there has been one fatal
accident land some awful mar
row escapes"
Mayor Baggett said a basic
complaint he has against the
gate system is that traffic may
pile up across the tracks if the
lead vehicle in a line of cars
IS forced to stop.
AAA Also Urges Action.
Meanwhile, Walter w. Hub
bard, managing editor of the
American Automobile Associa-
tons publication, American
Motorist, said his organization
for years has urged elimination
Of all grade crossings.
Some time ago, he said. the
AAA district division proposed
an elevated highway past the
Peace Cross in Bladensburg
which would overpass a rail
freight spur which now crosses
Defense highway.
I'VE haven't had too many
serious grade crossing accidents
n this area" he added. But I
,hink it's just pure luck"

Chain Saw Exhibit
In Chicago Cited
By MalOney's, Inc.

The power and precision of the
MALL Chain Saw are a feature
of the history-making Hardwoods
Exhibit at Chicago's famous Muse
UNI of Science and Industry, says
Maloney's, Inc, local MALL Chain
Saw Dealer.
The new exhibit is now complete
after more than two years of de-
velopment and work. Occupying
10000 square feet of floor space,
it is one of the museums largest,
and gives prominent position to
the tool which has revolutionized
Underwriting technique. The chain
saw, producing at a capacity of
up to ten times greater than old
hand-saw methods, has doomed
commercial timber operations. 1t
has also meant a new income
source for the farmer who can
now-himself alone-handle with
ease the old woodlot back of the
north 40.
The MALL Chain Saw was
selected for the exhibit as repre-
sentative of the finest in the in
dustry. Consideration was given
to the fact that MALL is not only
pioneer builder of chain saws
but one Of Americas leading manu-
facturers Tins. MALI. Incomes an
important part of this Hardwoods
Museum Exhibit, showing samples
Of hardwoods from all over the
world and demonstrations Of their
uses.
Maloney's, Inc. says that the
models on view at the museum are
the gasoline operated MALL Chain
Saw, Model ENG, and the gasoline
operated MALL Pinchless Saw,
Model 2MGP.
