! From Mrs. J.E.G. of Cumber-
land, Va: MY husband is q
veteran of World War II and was
discharged in November 1945.
He wants to know If he can take
on-the-farm training under the
World War II CT Bill"
Your husbands eligibility to
on-the-farm training expired
July IS, 1851, at the same time
that eligibility to the CT Bill
expired for most vets.
From BED. of BateSville. Ind;
''In September of 1851 my son
postponed his plans to enter
Purdue University to enlist in the
Air Force for four years. Is there
any way in which this enlistment
time can be cut short or termi-
mated? It seems somewhat illogi-
cal, if not unjust, that boy who
enlistS of his own free will must
sign up for four years, while the
one who is drafted is subject to
only two"
At the present time the Air
Force has no program which
would allow your son to cut his
| four-year enlistment.
From. Mrs. BINS. Of Oakland,
Calf: I'm a widow Of a World
War I veteran and am drawing
a pension of $48 per month. From
1886 until my husbands death
in 1916 I was employed regularly
/ and covered by social security.
My husband was a farmer and
not covered by social security.
If I start drawing social security.
will this count as income against
the 81, 400 income limitation to
draw the widows penSion?"
Any retirement payment-Fed-
eral, State or business ~ is
Ecounted as income under the
pension limitation, except that
such payment will be counted
as income until the amount Of
your personal contribution to-
ward these benefits has been re-
paid to you. II you were eligible
for social security payments
based solely on your husbands
employment, these payments
would be counted as income.
From Miss K.P.W. of Darling
ton, s. c.: MY brother was
killed in action in Germany in
1945, leaving his $40, 900 govern
ment insurance to my mother
as first beneficiary and myself
as contingent beneficiary. My
mother was receiving payments
under the 12O monthly INSTALL
ment plan until she died last
month. She had received 108
installmentS. Will only reveice
the remaining IL monthly pay
mentS or will I receive the differ
ence between what my mother
has already drawn and the origi-
nal $1O,0OO?"
What you'll be able to draw
will depend on how your brother
decided he wanted his benef1ci-
aries paid. The Veterans Adj
ministration can give you an
answer.
From Miss. NH. of Indian
apolis, Ind: I'm the fiancee of
a soldier stationed at Fort Riley,
Kansas. He has been in school
at Fort Riley since February and
will graduate shortly. We would
like to be married on his next

he'll get q leave when his school

Fairfax Board Drops
Infegration Options
To Follow State
By Mory Lou Werner.

The Fairfax Board Of County
Supervisors is now on record
agreeing to abide by State policy
on school segregation, after
abandoning a previous stand
which favored maximum local
option in meeting the problem.
The complete turnabout came
yesterday when the supervisors
were confronted with about 100
angry citizens armed with 2,843
signatures on petition urging
repeal OF the local-option reso-
luton adopted three weeks ago.
Those who spoke against the
local-option resolution insisted
it implied the county was ready
to integrate schools. The SUI
pervisors said that was not their
intention.
Mrs. Anne wilkins, sponsor of
the local-option resolution, said
she offered it because she did
not feel a county like Fairfax
with few Negro residents wanted
to be bound by policies of down.
state counties that have a ma
jority of Negro residents.
After two hours of listening to
protests, the supervisors backed
down and voted to rescind their
local option resolution. The mo-
ton to rescind was offered by
Supervisor c. B. Runyon, who
did not vote on the local option
resolution three weeks ago. Mrs.
wilkins cast the lone dissenting
vote on the motion to rescind.
Loud applause filled the board
room as soon as the motion to
rescind passed.

Maryland PTA Sci
To Face Race Issue
AT Baltimore ParIey
By the Assoeiu,ed Pres.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 1.-THE
Maryland Congress Of Parent.
and Teachers met for its seth
convention today with the seq.
regation issue simmering beneath
the surface.
Leaders Of the 117.0O0-mem-
ber organization with 495 local
units in the State wondered ex-
actly when and how it would
come up at the meeting.
Joseph A. Hunter, Baltimore
postal clerk, rounding out his
three-year term as president
took cognizance of it in his an
nual report.
The concern Of the PTA, he
said, is the welfare of all chill
dren, both white and Negro.
Repeats Early Stand.
He reiterated the stand taken
by the State organizations board
OF managers in July. It urged
local units to work with school
authorities toward the develop
ment of sound plans for COM
pliance with" the Supreme Court
decision in May which found seq
regatlon in the public schools
unconstitutional.
One proposal to come before
the convention is that the State
government increase it's school
appropriation by almost $14.5
million a year.
While the segregation issue
did not appear on the conven-
ton agenda. it cropped up re-
peatedly in an advance meeting
yesterday of the board of man
ayers.
Workshop Urged.
Mrs. A. D.. Pollack, president
Of the Frederick County PTA
Council. suggested the congress
sponsor a Statewide workshop
corferer of school and civic
leaders to study the segrega-
zion problem carefully.
Mrs. g. r. Clements, former
State president from Annapo-
lis, presented a reveiew of the
report made Monday by q spe-
cial committee of school super
intendents on the issue.
Their recommendations that
segregation be ended gradually
and on time table determined
by local school authorities will be
included in a plea the State is
making to the Supreme Court. /
The board Of managers took
no action on the report and
there was no certainty the report
itself would be brought before
the convention.
The first requests of local Negro
PTA units for afiliation with
the State organization also were
reported to the board of mana
gers.
Two are in Montgomery Coun-
ty, two In st. Marys. The Long
view School PTA in Montgomery
County already has been granted
affiliation.

der, according to Assistant

ney.

seven companions in last nights
celebration of the Marine Corps
10th anniversary, served with
the Marines Corps detachment
which provides security for the
Naval Gun Factory and the Ma
val Receiving Station in Wash
ington.
The Marine Corps sent word
Of Sergt. Johnson's death to
his father, Henry r. johnson,
sr.. Of johnson City, Tenn.
Morning Gang. Brawl.
Montgomery County police al
Silver Spring said Sergt. johnson
was fatally beaten in a gang
brawl at Bonifant and Dixon
streets about 1880 am. AL the
Marines were friends and five OF
them. including Sergt. johnson
were guards at the brig for the
Gun Factory and Receiving Sta
ton. police said. The other

Naval Medical Center.
Sergt. johnson, 81, was pro-
nounced dead on arrival at the
Medical Center at 2:15 am. by
1t. (j.g0 F. S. McAlpine. DR..
Frank j. Broschart, county

amined the body, said Sergt.
johnson died of asphyxis in
duced by vomiting.
After the seven Marines on

They must agree to appear as
material witnesses at trials of
the others, Mr.. Heeney said.
Police 1t. William Whalen and
Detective Corpl. Fred Thrailkill,
who questioned the Marines in
dividually, pieced together this
account:
The group came to the Silver
Spring Hot Shoppe restaurant,
8643 Colesville road, about
$3.50 pm. for the anniversary
party. They ate and drank beer
in the basement room they had
reserved and left in Sergt. John

Five Marines were in the back

johnson as he drove south on
Georgia. An argument broke
out in the back seat, and Sergt.
johnson, who weighed ESQ
pounds. told them to "knock
1t off"
His warming went unheeded,
so he turned right into Bonifant
street, and stopped near Dixon
avenue. He got out and swung
open a rear door and lifted one
of the Marines out. The others
in the back seat came piling out
and the fight was on.
Police received report of the
fight about las am. and sent
four cars. When they got there.
Sergt. johnson was on the
ground. his face bloody. Four
Marines, besides Sergt. johnson,
had blood on their shoes.
The two men who are to be
released were riding in the front
seat of the car. Police said there
was no indication that these two
were involved in the fight.
A Marine Corps board Of in
vestigation was to meet with po-
lice officials at Silver Spring
later today. Detectives said the
five Marines to be charged with
murder would be taken to the
county iail at Rockville.
