Nearby Virginia will have at
least two integrated schools this

system will remain segregated.
Fort Myer and Fort Belvoir
schools will be operated by the
post commanders under regula-
tions of the Virginia State Board
Of Education.
Arlington County has been ed

Fairfax County has been con.
Quoting the school at Belvoir.

the two counties have served
notice that they are bowling out
of the military education pro-
gram at the end of the current
session.
Military, school and Federal
officials predict. however. that
when integration goes into
effect in Virginia, the schools on
the military posts will be brought
into the county systems.
School Completed.
At Fort Myer, a new elemen.

executive order on integration
and the Supreme Court decision,
has been completed. 1t will serve

The Fort Myer and Fort Bel

About 1900 of these schools
were built by local school syS-

Meet the Candidates

they point out, would leave
Southern Maryland without rep
reSentation on the Appeals Court.
Value of Experience Cited.
Supporters of Judge Marberry
assert that only judges with ex-
tenSive trial experience should
be elevated to Maryland's high
est tribunal. They add that such
posts should be given to men with
outstanding records as attorneys
and trial judges in order that
incentives may be provided to
the States practitioners.
Ironically, Judge Marbury has
some of his strongest support
from Republicans. Prince Georges
County G. o. P. leaders are in
terested in seeing Judge Mar
bury promoted because that
would permit Republican Gov
McKeldin to fill the vacancy he
will leave on the Circuit Court
bench.
Also helping Judge Marbury's
candidacy is the disappointment
of some Democratic leaders be-
cause Judge Hammond accepted
the appeals court appointment
in 1852 and allowed Gov. Nc
Keldin to name a Republican
Attorney General and acquire
new patronage that otherwise
would not have been available
to him.
However, Judge Hammond has
greatest strength in Baltimore
and Hartford Counties.
Biographical descriptions OF
the two candidates follow:
Hall Hammond, So, was born
in Baltimore City. He lives now
at Stevenso in Baltimore
County. He is married, but has
no children.

Hopkins University in 1928 and
the University Of Maryland Law
School IN 1925. Judge Hammond

Elected Attorney General.
In 1916, he was elected Attor-
ney- General on the ticket with
former Gov. Lane. He won re-
election in 1850 even though for
mer Gov. Lane was defeated by
Republican Gov. McKeldin.
After two years in his new
term, Gov. McKeldin appointed
him to the Court of Appeals to
fill out the unexpired term OF
Judge Ogle Marbury. who re.
tired. Judge Ogle Marbury and
Judge Charles Marbury are rela-
tiveS.
Charles C. Marbury, 81, who
lives near Upper Marlboro on the
same farm where we has born
has been an associate judge OF
the Seventh Judicial Circuit
since his appointment by former
Gov. O'Conor in 1941. He was
elected to a full 15-year term ir
1912.
Like his opponent, Judge Mar
bury also graduated from Johns
Hopkins University, but took his
law degree at Georgetown Uni
versity in 1925. He practiced Law
in the county for several years
and served in the Maryland
House of Delegates from 1880 tt
1888 and in the State Senate
from 1898 until his appointment
to the bench.

Nowadays it is not SO true that
the best way to a mans heart is

that is. Several young ladies at
