Suit Seeks 10 Void
School Bond Issue
Voted in Falls Church

A suit was filed in Fairfax
Circuit Court today seeking to
have the $8oO,O0O school bond
issue approved by Falls Church
voters last month declared null
and void.
The petition was filed by at
torney Robert j. McCandlish, jr.,
in behalf of former City Council
man Samuel E. McCrary and 81
other citizens.
They charge the election was
conducted improperly. The bal
lots of property owners and other
voters were frequently inter-
mingled, according to the suit,
in violation of legal procedure.
The bond issue was approved
by a 16-vote margin, winning a
favorable vote of property own
ers and of property owners and
non-property owners combined.
To Retain Counsel.
At special City Council
meeting last night, the council
voted to retain Alexandria at
torney Armistead L. Boothe as
special counsel to fight the suit.
in ASSOCIATION with city attorney
William M BaSkin.
Councilman w. Raymond Tay-
lor opposed the resolution. He
said talk of the suit might turn
out to be only a rumor and even
if legal action were taken by the
citizens, he declared, the suit
should be examined before the
hiring of special counsel.
Councilman Charles E. Kellogg
was absent. All other council
members, including Mayor NJ
Eldon Colby, approved the reso-
luton.
Councilman Grant G. Hillikel
said the petitioners are NAL
contents or the tools of malcon-
tents interested only in block
ing the bond issue. Any one has
a right to take legal action" he
added. "but they don't have an
unlimited right to block public
progress"
Benn States View.
The sponsor of the resolution
Councilman Donald Benn, said il
is his personal feeling that
under the American method the
minority should abide by the
majority decision. Due proc
ess in this country is that the
majority vote and decision shall
prevail"
Mr.. Benn said the city should
do all it can to hasten a court
decision. If the referendum is
upheld, he said, the school bonds
can be sold. If it is declared
invalid, he added, the School
Board would have to present a
new plan to the voters.
Also approved on March 3 wa:
a $685. 900 bond issue for water
system improvements. The suit
filed today fails to attack this
bond issue specifically, but both
proposals were on the same bal
lot.

Cherry Blossom Girls
Brave Chill Air and
Please Parade Crowd
By Fronk SortweII, Jr.

A lot of pretty girls were pretty
cold last night, as the weather
turned traitor to the Cherry
Blossom parade.
Princesses, models and drum
majorettes rode and pranced
along K street NV. in the 81
degree chill. wearing bathing
suits, summer evening dresses
and skimpy uniforms.
The Myrtle Beach float from
South Carolina, adorned with
young ladies in sequined bath
ing suits, triumphed over 76
other units to take the parade's
grand prize.
$4,000 in Crowd.
The cool evening didn't hold
down the crowd. Deputy Police
Chief Howard v. Covell, after a
discussion with Board of Trade
representatives, estimated at
tendance at $4,000. The spec
tators lined K street three and
four deep in places to cheer the
marching units, whistle at the
girls and listen to the 81 bands.
The show took about; two hours
to pass given point.
The girls from Myrtle Beach
took the weather better than
those from Colonial Beach, Va,
who started later, and colder at
night. Those beauties posed on
a float with boats, a mounted
sailf1sh, water skis and an aqua
plane. They wore slacks and
sweaters.
Also uninfluenced by goose
pimpleS were a selection of
models from New York, who
illustrated the States summer
sports in swimming togs, golf
shorts and similar cool apparel.
New York's climate is cooler
than that of North Carolina,
which won a float prize with
six girls in formals dangling on
swings. They wore mink, or q
reasonable facsimile, over their
net evening gowns.
Carries Own Fire.
One of the drum majorettes
solved the temperature problem
by carrying a baton with flames
at each end. She was Miss Dor
othy McCarty, who fronted the
Elks Club Band from the Dis
trict.
Senator Case, Republican, of
South Dakota rode horseback
beside his daughter, Jane, a
princess from that State.
The parade began at Ninth
street and ended in a summer
storm of f1ashbulbs at Seven
teenth street.

Use Of School Grant
In Falls Church MAY
Hinge on Lawsuit

The Falls Church School
Board has been notified Of a
$123,000 Federal grant for school
construction but the effect of the
ALLEGATION on the city's building
program may depend on the out
come of a suit filed today in
Fairfax Circuit Court.
The suit, filed by group Of
city residents, challenges valid
ity of the $8OO,OOO school con-
struction bond issue approved
March 3. About half the funds
were to be used for an addition
to Mount Daniel Elementary
School.
The Federal money must be
spent at Mount Daniel.
Weigh Alternatives.
School Board members said at
meeting last night that if le-
gality of the bond issue is up
held, an amount equivalent to
the Federal grant may be used
to provide new facilities at Mad
ison Elementary School or for
other purposes. However, if the
bond referendum is thrown out,
new bond issue proposal might
have to be trimmed by $123 900,
the amount of the Federal grant.
The School Board decided to
ask the City Council to find
someway to get the construction
program under way while the
bond issue is in litigation. Appli-
cation for State funds or Short
term borrowing have been sug-
geSted as a method of starting
the building program without
waiting for outcome of the litiga-
ton.
Meetings Proposed.
In other business, the board
heard Oliver j. Caldwell propose
a series of town meetings" on
school problems. The meetings
would be sponsored by the board
for the purpose of explaining to
interested citizens the workings
of the school system and its
philosophy.
Such subjects as the curricu-
lum, the guidance program and
student achievement would be
discussed. One topic suggested
was "how progressive is progress
sive education in Falls Church.
Supt. Irwin H. Schmitt also re-
ported that seniors in the city's
high school rank well in achieve
ment compared with national
averages. The seniors took tests
prepared by the American Coun-
Gil on Education for college
freshmen. The results show that
senior boys in Falls Church had
an average score the same as
that of the average college fresh
man, while the senior girls scored
even higher.
1--WE must remember it takes a
boy couple of years longer to
grow up than it does a GIRL" Mr..
Johnson said.
