THIS TREND toward fuller
colored vet participation in af-
fairs of the nation dates far
back. The Civil War Recon-
Struction was one phase but
so was Attacks 1770) and the
men of TITS. Teddy Roosevelt
spanked the confidence of
SpaniSh-American vets. And
from the First World War
came the greater number of
Tan Yank vets whose influence
has coated many of the So
called reforms enjoyed by the
race to-day.

A NEW DAY has now come,
and with t comes a challenge
to the cOlOred vets of World
War ii and Korea. 1t sufices
them not to claim credits
forged by their Doughboy Dads.
The newer vets having won
their own hOnOrs must now
forge their own progress.
There is much work to be
done. This work includes wise,
calm considerations, cOOpera-
tiOn with others and Monroe
TrOtter's policy If unselfish
devotion to the tasks.
THE CALL to-day for leader
ship among Americas 20 mil
lion citizens of color should
find warm response from all
Tan Yank vets whose high
stake In democracy has al
ready been well proved. The
renewed organization and pre-
paration for the important
roles TO be played Is a far
sighted and wise policy to
pursue. Those colored vets so
dedicated are to be commend
ed publicly at this time.
A .CADRE or nucleus of
Tan Yank vets can do much
for many organizations in
many ways. The fight against
foreign isms and those who
seek to exploit cOIOred people
for their own ends, can best
be fought by men stepped in
stepped in Americanism. And
Americanism. And the day will
condition wherein a colOred
vet had to fight two Simulta-
neOus intOlerants the one at
the front and the enc at,
home.

BANNED FROM most of the

S3.1 Million
School Budget !.
Teacher Poy Roise
Accounts for Most
Of Increase Asked "

The Alexandria School Board
sent $3.1 million school budget
for l954-5 to the City Council
today.
The new budget is $3l6,542
higher than expenditures this
year. Most of the increase will
go to teachers in higher salaries.
A decrease in the amount Of
Federal money available to
Alexandria brought the School
Boards request from the city
to $2,412.723-an increase of
1923 above what was appro-
priated by the council for the
current budget.
Less Federal Aid.
Federal aid funds received
this year were for a two-year
period due to a delay in dis
bursement, school officials
pointed out. The amount of
Federal money in the new
budget is 100000 as compared
with 1854, 1920 received this year.
Increasing the teacher salary
fund to $1,931,310 will permit
hiring 20 new teachers, the
School Board said. Nineteen of
these will staff the new Minnie
Howard School, and 10 others
will be available for increased
enrolment at other schools and
for special sci vices.
In addition to the new teach
ers. the salary money also will
provide a $200-a-year across
the-board increase. The teacher
pay scale would be changed
from $3,200-$5,0 900 to $3,40O.

including new buildings.
A $4,000 balance from this
year would be applied to the
school construction fund under
the proposed budget. To this
amount would be added $lOO 900
from the new budget.
Officials said this would begin
to replace the $378, 1000 in school
funds transferred to the city last

Budget Hearing
In Arlington
Attracts So
Surprised Officials
Expect More for
School Fund Session
BY WiIIiom J. EIyin

About $50 Arlington citizens
were missing last night from the
annual budget hearing that
usually draws an attendance of
about 500.
The hearing itself was so quiet
that most of the talk afterward
centered on why the attendance
at the gathering in jefferson
Junior High School was so low.
One County Board member
remarked, with a smile, that it
was evidence of confidence in
the board.
A spectator took the view that
that boards $3.50. 900 cut in last
years proposed school budget
discouraged attendance at this
years hearing.
The County Board chairman,
Mrs. Buchholz, said she believed
the hearing was as we'll publi-
cized as any in the past.
Lack Of Worry Seen.
A county official said that per-
haps County Manager A. r.
Lundberg'S recommendation of
no tax increase allowed many
citizens to stay home without
worrying. The School Board has
asked 27-cent tax increase, but
school officials already have
found ways to reduce their re-
quest. at least by a few cents.
Last year a Accent increase
was proposed. In 1852, if the
proposed increase had been met
through real and personal prop
erty taxes, a Accent increase
would have been necessary.
Some clues to the absence of
so many citizens may turn up
at the hearing on the school
budget. set for 8 pm. Monday
in Jefferson Junior High. Last
nights hearing was on the COM
bined school and general county
budgets.
The county board will take
another look at the proposed
budgets of about $40 million
when it holds the tax rate hear
ing at 8 pm. April 80, also at
Jefferson. May Is is the dead
line for adopting the budget for
the fiscal year beginning July /,
and for setting tax rates.
Ask Pay Raise for Employees.
Several speakers last night
urged a pay raise for county
employees. The county manager
said his proposed budget includes
normal salary increments. but
no increase in pay scales.
George Lange of the Arling-
ton fire. station said most fire.
men want the present pay scale
of $500 to $4,25O to be applied
to a f1ve-day week and extra pay
to be added for the sixth day
that all county firemen work.
James F. Burdiss, vice presi-
dent of the Arlington Police
Beneficiary Association, urged a
police pay increase of $400 to
$500.
A spokesman for the Arling-
ton Civic Federation. Haldor r.
Mohat, urged an increase of
$4,000 in the proposed budget.
The federation suggested reduc-
tions in the funds for the police
department and the Commits
sioner of Revenues Office and
asked more money for the pub
lie utilities commission, side
walks, libraries and parks.
School Supt. Edward Rutter
said the School Board will an
nounce at its meeting at 10 am.
tomorrow at the Administration
Building. 1926 North Quincy
street. its policy next fall on
admission of 512-year-olds to the
