Arlington School
Budget 10 Be Timed
With That Of County

The Arlington School Board
yesterday postponed until 7:30
pm. tomorrow release of its
1954-55 budget to coincide with
announcement of the county
budget.
The release was deferred after
School Board Member Warren
Cox said he did not agree with
the policy of withholding the
budget simply because County
Manager A. T. Lundberg was not
ready with his. Several persons
attended the meeting at School
Board headquarters to discuss
the budget.
Both the county budget and
the school budget were to be SUBJ
mitted Friday to the County
Board. County Manager A. T.
Lundberg, however, said last
minute adjustments were neces-
sary in the county figures: The
County Board recessed until 5
pm. tomorrow.
Gives Statement Tomorrow.
Without celebrating, School
Board Member E. r. Draheim
told reporters he would have a
statement to make about the
budget at tomorrow's meeting.
A public hearing on the school
budget by the School Board,
with County Board members
sitting in, was scheduled for 8
pm. April 26 at Thomas Jeffer-
son Junior High School. In the
past, the School Board has held
hearings on its budget before
presenting it to the county heads.
School Supt. Edward Rutter
said the board has received Is
letters from Parent Teachers
associations, supporting the
present school administrations
policies. He said the letters would
be discussed at tomorrow's
meeting. The board has been un-
der attack on the questions of
sex education films used in the
schools and narrative style re-
port cards without grades.
Car Use Study Asked.
Mr.. Draheim recommended
that the County Board study the
School Board method of repay
ing employees for transportation
in privately-owned cars. This
system costs less than the coun-
tvs. he said, which provides
county-owned vehicles to officials
who require frequent transporta-
ton.
Board members spent the
afternoon at dedication cere-
monies at the new $500, 900

Mahoney Denounces
Byrd as 'WastefulIy
Lavish al u. Of Md.
Dy the Asseeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. IL. -
George P. Mahoney charged to-
night DR.. H. c. Byrd. his OPP
ponent for the Democratic NOM
nation for Governor, was re-
sponsible for the admission Of
an extremely high proportion"
Of out-of- Skaters at the Univer-
sity of Maryland.
Mr.. Mahoney raised the issue
as proof that DR.. Byrd had been
"wastefully lavish" with taxpay-
ers' money while he was presi-
dent of the university.
In effect, said the Baltimore
contractor making his third bid
for Statewide Office. the out-of
State students were subsidized
by Maryland taxpayers.
"Wastefully Lavish"
Mr.. Mahoney recently made
similar charges of spendthrift
practices at the university dur
ing Byrd's tenure. prompting his
opponent to offer $500 dona-
ton to Mahoney's campaign If
the charges could be supported.
1.-THE people Of Maryland will
certainly regard it as wastefully
lavish of the taxpayers funds to
educate at Maryland's expense
this unduly high proportion of
non-residents at a time when
unsupported facilities were
denied to our own boys" said
the Baltimorean.
I'm the event that DR.. Byrd
himself is sufficiently impressed
by the foregoing argument to
forfeit his $500, suggest that
he donate that amount to some
worthy charity"
Compares Percentages.
Mr.. Mahoney's prepared state
ment gave Al per cent as the
proportion of out-of-State stu
dents registered in 1851 at the
university's publicly controlled
institutions of higher learning"
For the same year. he said.
the University Of Wisconsin had
only II per cent. Illinois 8, North
Carolina 10. Ohio II, Minnesota
IL and Virginia %.
But in Maryland four out of
every 10 students getting higher
education at the taxpayers ex-
penSe were not residents of this
State" Mr.. Mahoney declared.
Marylanders Barred.
"And this was at a time when
DR.. Byrd's university was refus-
ing admission to Maryland boys
and girls for reasons which in
cluded "overcrowding!"
There was no immediate COM
rnent from DR.. Byrd. Both he
and Mr.. Mahoney were scheduled
to attend the Jackson Day Din
ner sponsored in Baltimore to-
night by the Young Democratic
Clubs of Maryland.
About 600 were expected at the
dinner to hear Senator jackson,
Democrat. of Washington de-
liver the main address.

Carlos Paula
To Get Tryout
With Mats

WASHINGTON - When the
Washington Senators launch their
1855 spring training under Man
ager Charley Dresser, formerly
with the Dodgers of the National
league, one of Dressen's major
tasks will be to make a major
league hitter out of Carlos Paula,
giant Cuban Negro outfielder.
Behind the move is owner Clark
Griffith's desire to make the Gu
ban the first tan star to wear a
Senators uniform. 1t is also a
maneuver to win over the Washing
tons more than 100000 colored
baseball fans.
Griffith said recently that he
has been waiting for the day when
"we can give the fans a standout
colored player
Commenting on Paula's ability,
the aging executive said:
Charley says he wants us to
install a batting cage at Orlando
and We'll do that, of course, and
one of the first players We'll in
stall in it is Paula. That big
galoot could be a good player fol
us, with a little more instruction.
Paula is 200-pounder. A
good outfielder with a fine throw
ing arm, he batted 300 at Char
lotte in the Sally league last sea
son. His one weakness is said t
! be his eagerness to strike out a

church members.
One of the spokesman for the
group stated, at is not our desire
to harm but rather to help Olivet
Baptist Church. We desire that
church officers respect the rights
and privileges and offices of
church members and that they
comply with the Bylaws and
Rules of the church as to the rem
dering of accounts to church mem
bers."
Among the plaintiffs are Henry
+. Henderson, who has been men,
Der of Olivet Baptist Church for
33 wears and deacon for II years;
Stephen A. Griffin, who has been
a member for SO years and served
as chairman Of the Joint Board
of Deacons and Trustees for APP
rroximately so years; Daniel K.
TYLER, who has been member for
approximately AZ years and served
as a deacon and Financial Secre-
tary for many years. Most Of the
plaintiffs have been, according to
the complaint, members of the
church for more than 30 years,
One of the plaintiffs, originally
belonging to the graup, was Cen
tie Scott, who had been a member
of Olivet Baptist Church for AZ
wears at the time of his death.
While his funeral was permitted to
be held at the church, it is report
ed that the Pastor, Reverend Jo-
seph H. Jackson, refused to Of
ficiate at the funeral.

the infants themselves, many of
whom are being found through
Healthy Baby Contests" such as
is lust being held here in Jackson.
Research plays major role IN
the operations of the Carnation
Company. 1t follows many ave
nues to bring forth its findings.
Near Seattle, Wash, Carnation
maintains a l600-acre farm, which
is one of the finest in the world,
and is known to dairy farmers
everywhere. Here, experiments of
various breeds of cattle have pro-
duced some of the finest specimens
of all time, including sixteen of
the worlds greatest butterfat and
milk producers. Such benefits are
not only reflected in the quality of
the milk available over the Car
nation label, but in the herds of
farmers the country over whose
cattle contain some of these out
standing bloodlines.
Carnations consumer consult
ants who work in the field among
groups everywhere have comment
ed so often about the healthy
babies they have seen who were
raised on Calnation Milk that such
a contest as the current one was
recognized for its value in bring
ing some of these fine examples
of healthy Americans to light.
All readers of the Jackson Adj
vocate are invited to join with the
parents and friends of the infants
in attending the final judgings in

From among the many snap
shots entered in this contest, 20
infants have been selected and
their parents notified to bring
them to the scene of final Judging.
The five judges, all prominent cit
liens of Jackson, will check each
one of these tots for healthy APP
pearance, sunny disposition and
cute personality. The final selec-

announced on this occasion. Pub
LEGATION of their names and pic

The tremendous interest in this

proximately 100000 has been spent

pastor, Reverend Joseph H. Jack
son, and that required monthly
quarterly, and annual, financial re-
ports have not been duly made be-
ginning with the year 1851.
In 1851, the complaint charges,
Olivet Baptist Church has assets
of approximately $150,000, con-
sisting of church building, va
cant lot, and 100000 or $4,000
in cash and bonds. The complaint
charges that in 1851 $4,000 was
used for the purchase of an elabo-
rate parsonage and for furnishings
in the amount of $4,000, and the
Pastor is furnished with automo-
biles to meet his requirements.
The trouble began when these
transactions took place according
to the complaint; and the plaintiffs
charge that because of their criti
cisms and demands for financial
reports as required by the bylaws
the defendants conspired to Gust
them from their positions in the
church and as members, and that
since an alleged custer on October
Is, 1858, the defendants have used
their positions to deny to the plain
