Poo|esviIIe School
Closing Opposed by
County Educator
Forbes H. Norris, Montgomery

Forbes H. Norris. Montgomery
County school superintendent,
will recommend against abandon
ment of the Poolesville High
School which now has an enroll
ment of SO pupils.
The school superintendent said
his recommendation would be
based on the long distance stu
dents would have to be trans
ported to existing high schools
at Gaithersburg and Rockville.
More than 800 Poolesville resi-
dents turned out for a meeting
January % to fight to retain the
school which they feared might
be abandoned.
The school, with it's limited
program. will be containued on
its present level of curriculum,
DR.. Norris said.
Chances are, he added, he will
not include the $336,000 needed
for a new addition at the school
in his upcoming recommended
capital budget. That budget will
come out within a month.
The item originally slated for
this years budget was cut after
the county council trimmed the
school boards request. DR.. Norris
said there are many other more
pressing problems that must be
met in the construction program
in the near future.
DR.. Norris said he would rec
ommend that any student who
cannot get the courses he needs
at Poolesville be permitted to en-
roll in the larger schools if he
provides his own transportation.
The school board has not acted
on any plans for the future OF
the Poolesville High School. Par
ents. however, organized cam
paign to maintain the school
when rumors spread of an i'm
pending closing.
DR.. Norris has said that while
the countrywide school enroll
ment has jumped $50 per cent in
recent years, the Poolesville en-
rollment has gone up only 10
per cent.

War Memorial Fight
Comes 10 Head in
Virginia Assembly

RICHMOND. Va. Feb. 6.-The
fight over Virginia's proposed
World War II memorial has come
to a head at long last.
In it's barest essentials. the
fight boils down to this:
Should the State go ahead and
construct a million dollar build
ing that will benefit principally
veterans organizations and a
few State agencieS-or should it
put the money to use in meeting
health or educational needs?
The showdown stage was
reached this week when Delegate
Fred Pollard of Richmond and
IL other lawmakers joined in a
resolution to shelve the memorial
plan pending a new study of the
project.
Doubts Expressed.
The lawmakers expressed seri-
Gus doubts the memorial build
ing, which would be located in
Richmond, would be of sufficient
benefit to justify the expense.
Gov. Battle recommended an
appropriation of 100000 for the
building in the new budget and
reappropriation of $4,000 be-
fore stepping out last month.
Gov. Stanley has not indicated
whether he agrees with Mr.. Bat
tie or thinks the money should be
shifted to other uses.
Legion Leads Fight.
The American Legion has been
leading the battle to retain the
proposed memorial plan. And
today. DR.. Thomas S. Ely of
Jonesville. the Legion's Virginia
commander. issued a statement
defending the plans for it.
The American Legion has a
powerful ally in Delegate Robert
Whitehead of Nelson, who has
said he sees no use in tinker
ing" with what two previous
Legislatures have already ap-
proved. -..~
But Mr.. Pollard and his IL
colleagues have undoubtedly
started some lawmakers to won
dering whether the money might
not be switched to more bene-
fetal usage. One alternative
proposal that might be con-
sidered is a mental hospital for
children, as suggested by some
or0r,nS

India differ are questions on
which the two countries can dis
agree and still maintain friendly
relations.
Sees Security Difference.
Mr.. Allen said the most basic
difference lies in the attitude
of the two governments toward
collective security. He said that
is the basis for the difference be-
tween them on extending mill
tary aid to Pakistan.
Mr.. Allen told the committee
the Indians do not suspect the
United States of trying to create
a colonial empire, but think
United States military aid is
tending IN that direction,
whether so intended or not.
The Ambassador said the peo-
pie of India welcome economic
aid but are anxious to avoid
too much dependence on outside
aid. Senator Wiley quoted Mr..
Allen as, saying the continued
success of democratic processes
in India is important to the
United States. He said the al
tentative would be the expan-
sion, of either the right or the
left, and probably the latter.

ment income up to $1,000. less
social security and railroad re-
tirement benefits which are al
ready non-taxable.
The Senators added q new
provision enabling persons over
IS to earn more than 5000 a
year without affecting their re-
tirement deduction.
Another Senate committee
vote restores to corporations a
right which the House bill took
away to the interest on certain
bonds which are issued with the
understanding that interest pay
ments depend on the amount OF
corporate income.
The Senators. also confirmed
decisions extending the split-in-
come privilege now applying to
married couples, to widows and
widowers with children and
single individuals with close rel
atives dependent on them.
They also confirmed approval
of the more liberal deduction for
medical expenses, making all
above 3 instead of 5 per cent OF
income deductible.

pletely abandoned its secrecy
rule, and did not promise when

Senate Group.Accepts Some
House-Bocked ToxRevisions

The Senate Finance Committee
has confirmed most of the tenta-
tive decisions on the big tax
revision bill which had leaked
out since the committee dropped
a veil Of secrecy around its work
O. week ago.
! The only major decision yes
terday was approval of House
action extending for another year
the SO per cent tax rate on cor
porationS. which will drop i'm
mediately to AZ per cent unless
this bill passes. This decision was
reported unofficially last week.
In making public its action
thus far, Chairman Millikan en-
phasized that all decisions are
subject to being reopened until
the bill is completed, probably
three weeks from now.
Most of the major House de-
cisions still await action, includ-
ing efforts to eliminate double
taxation on corporate dividends
and the more liberal methods for
handling depreciation.
iOne tentative decision not
previously reported was the con-
ttnuation beyond next January
Of the combat pay deduction for
servicemen. This applied during
the Korean war and would con-
tinue beyond this year if any
troops are in combat zones after
January /.

Allen Urges Senators
To Back Continued
u. ). Aid 10 India
By J. A. O'LeoN

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, which soon must
tackle the new $3.5 billion for
eign aid bill, had before it today
q plea from George Allen, Amer
lean Ambassador to India, not
to cut off economic aid to the
Nehru government at this time.
Recently several leading Re-
publican Senators warned that
Congress may take a new look
at aid to India after Prime Min
lister Nehru barred American
planes from flying over India
to carry French troops to Indo-
China.
In a closed session with the
foreign relations gronp yeSter-
day, Mr.. Allen said stopping
economic assistance to India
while arranging military aid to
neighboring Pakistan would be
taken by India as proof that the
United States is interested only
in militarism.
FavOrs Continued Aid.
Chairman Wiley of the Senate
committee said he favors con-
tinuing Point -Four technical as
sistance to India, but thinks
some Of the other economic aid
could be in the form of loans
because it is going for railroads
and other self-liquidating pur-
poses.
Senator Wiley also predicted
that events taking place on the
world stage in the next few
weeks may be decisive in de-
termining the shape Of the new
foreign aid bill. He indicated that
is the main reason he has de-
layed starting hearings on the
measure. The House Foreign Al
fairs Committee expects to finish
its hearings in a week or 10
days.
Senator Wiley quoted Mr.. AL
len as testifying in closed ses-
sion that all of the matters on
which the United States and
