President Eisenhower today
asked Congress to authorize
American membership in the
proposed International Finance
Corporation as part of our effort
to increase the flow of United
States private investment funds
abroad"
The corporation is being
established as an affiliate Of the
International Bank to provide
risk capital" for financing
establishment and expansion of
productive private enterprises in
member countries when other
funds are not available on rea-
sonable terms.
Sends Special Message
In a special message to the
Senate and House, Mr.. Eisen-
hover asked for legislation
authorizing him to accept mem
bership in the corporation for
the United States and providing
for an American subscription Of
$35. 1853. 900 to the 500 million
capital stock of the corporation.
The subscription was included
in his budget message earlier
this year.
Declaring that the new agency
will strengthen the partnership
of the free nations" the Presi-
dent said the type of risk or
venture financing it will provide
to stimulate rising standards of
living throughout the free world
''is most urgently needed"
He said the major purpose of
the new institution will be to
help channel private capital and
experienced and competent pri-
vate management into produc-
tive investment opportunities
that would not otherwise be de-
veloped."
Loans Not Guaranteed
Unlike the International Bank,
the corporations loans will not
be guaranteed by member gov
ernments concerned. 1t will op-
crate only in association with
private interests, the President
said, and will seek to sell its in
vestments to private investors
as opportunity offers.
He explained that the corpo-
ration will not duplicate the
work of the Export Import
Bank, which is not designed to
provide venture capital.

Fairfax Studies
Law on Races

Fairfax County School Board
members last night learned they
probably violated State law by
permitting a nonsegregated
meeting in the Annandale High
School on April 80.
The opinion came from the
boards attorney, John Alexander.
who had been asked to comment
on the controversial TPA inte-
grafton workshop, which was dis
rupted almost as soon as it got
started. A number of colored
speakers were present at the
workshop.
Mr.. Alexander wrote the board
that Virginia law makes it the
duty of those in charge of meet
ings to separate white and colored
people by setting aside designated
areas for seating of the two races.
Failure or neglect of this require
ment is a misdemeanor, punish
able by a fine of 500 to $500,
Mr.. Alexander said.
II didn't know the meeting
was going to be migrated" said
Robert F. Davis. I'm not for
integrated schools, but I don't
believe in being foolish on this
thing either. Still, John Alex
ander is our lawyer and I guess
we have to do what he says"

Mrs. Stone Tells
School Stand

Mrs. Kathryn Stone. Demo-
cratic candidate for the House
of Delegates from Arlington.
yesterday said she once voted
in favor of migrating a private
school and that she favors the
continuation of free public
schools in Virginia, regardless of
the Supreme Court decision.
Mrs. Stone. who is seeking re-
election, was questioned at a
meeting of the Organized Wom-
en- Voters of Arlington on her
affiliation with the integrated
Burgundy Farm County Day
School in Fairfax County.
The candidate said she was
one of "a founders of the school
and was a member of the Board
of Directors from 1916 to 1913.
She said she was one of approx
mately 200 parents who voted
in 1850 to open the school to
children regardless of race.
MY vote arose from Christian
convictions and I am not sorry
for what I did" she said.
Mrs. Stone and another can
didate, William l.. Winston, hit
the price-fixing powers of the
Virginia Milk Commission. Both
pointed out that milk can be
bought in the District and Mary
land stores cheaper than in Vir-
ginia stores because the price is
held up by the commission.
Incumbent Delegate C. Har-
rison Mann said he favors repeal
of the State automatic income
tax refund law as long as the
State fails to meet the need for
more money for hospitals,
schools and other capital i'm
provements.
Delegate candidates Alvin
Kimel and Homer Bauserman
said they favored changing the
school teacher retirement pro-
gram to allow teachers to retire
at the age of 60.
Wesley w. Cooper, a candidate
for the Arlington County Court
judgeship. said he favored insti-
tuition OF a warning ticket in
traffic cases where there is a
doubt of violation. THE num-
Der of arrests and amount of COL
lection Of fines are simply fabu-
lous," Mr.. Cooper said.
Substitute Judge Paul D.
Brown. who also is seeking the
judgeship, said that issuing tick
cts is not in the province of the
court but the police department.

The Fairfax County School
Board is going ahead with plans
for a bond issue referendum this
fall after receiving estimates of
school construction needs total
ing $25 million for the next FIVE
years.
Timing of the referendum was
agreed on at a special meeting
of the school board last night at
a special meeting to consider flu
ture construction.
Whether the board should
pres sfor the full $25 million five
year plan all at once or divide
the program into several stages
will be decided at the next school
board meeting on June 7.
Urge Full Amount
A majority of the school board
members present last night, the
school administration, and PTA
leaders urged a referendum on
the full amount. Schools Supt.
w. T. Woodson noted that au-
thorization for the full amount
would not compel the school
board to sell the bonds any
faster than it needed them for
construction.
The building program is based
on an estimated school popula-
ton of 1880 by 1860. When the
current building program is fin
ished the county will have class
room space for 30.240. This is
about 1000 below the enrolment
anticipated next fall.

Although the population Of
Greenbelt has not grown in pro-
portion to many communities,
the Lutheran church there is
registering substantial gains in
members and attendance. The
Rev. Edward H. Birner has noted
an increase of Is per cent within
the last few years.
At the Cheverly Community
Evangelical United Brethren
Church, the Rev. Roy H. Stetler
found a willingness to cross de-
nominational lines an important
factor in growth. He ranked it
with area expansion and interest
in religion.

Membership of the United
Brethren congregation has in
creased in 10 years from 212 to
900. AS in other localities, this
occurred while new churches
were established nearby.
Genuine Revival
Rabbi Leon Adler of Temple
Emanuel in Montgomery County
said he was convinced there is a
genuine revival of interest in
religion. He differed from some
ministers, saying:
THE increase in religious
interest over the country has
absolutely nothing to do with
normal population growth-the
population has been growing
rapidly since the country's birth.
There is no correlation there. /"
