reation, inspections and license.
finance, libraries and juvenile
court.
Both hearings are scheduled
for the auditorium in the new
county building at Rockville.
The council Friday night sat
through a marathon five-hour
hearing as residents pleaded for
increases over County Manager
M. L. Reese's proposals for pub
lie schools.
The council also is expected to
hear pleas for increased public
health nurse funds, more pay for
police and more policemen.
New Police Station Asked
Mr. Reese cut sharply into de-
partmental requests for health
and public safety.
The manager is expected to
get strong support for his pro-
posed new police station in the
mushrooming Wheaton area.
The station would be tied in with
a proposed swimming pool and
county service facilities in the
area.
Public swimming pool advo-
Gates are repeatedly ready to
turn out in full force Wednesday
night to support Mr Reese in
his proposal for the first of sew
eral pools.
More Cash for Parking Sites
The manager recommended
$4,000 for site purchasing and
plans for public pool in the
Wheaton area. His five-year
program calls for expenditure of
$544,000 for public schools.
The managers proposal for
$350,000 worth of public parking
facilities in the Silver Spring
and Bethesda business areas is
due for public discussion.
The council already has in
creased legislative authorization
for parking lots in Silver Spring
from S250,000 to 81 million and
from 100000 to $250,000 in
Bethesda.
The budget for the next fiscal
year must be adopted before
midnight June 80. The council
for the last two weeks has been
holding open discussions with
departmental heads on their
budgets.

! Alexandria's City Council cleo
ton scheduled Tuesday has
turned into a free -for-all cam
paign for the mayorship with
the result that the city's lone
Independent candidate may have
a good chance of winning a
council seat for the first time in
recent years.
Seven Democrats and one In
dependent are vieing for seven
council seats. The candidate re-
ceiving the most votes will be
mayor.
| Ordinarily the membership OF
the council Is settled at the Dem
iocratic primary in April. Demo-
cratic nomination usually is tan
tamount to election in Alexan-
dria.
But this year so many of the
Democratic candidates are cam
paigning for mayor that political
observers say Independent Cam
didate F.. Clinton Knight has a
good chance for upsetting one of
the Democrats.
Four Seek Mayors Job
At least four of the Democrats
are seeking the mayors job.
Workers for some of them are
urging residents to cast "plunker
votes. A plunker vote is one cast
for a single candidate or for a
number of candidates less than
the seven to which each voter is
entitled.
The seven Democratic candi-
dates are: Leroy S. Bendheim;
James M. Duncan, jr.; John j.
Ewald. and Frank E. Mann, in
cumbents, and Joseph NJ. PAN
coast; Joseph w. Phillips and
John T. Ticer.
At least four of these-Mr.
Bendheim, Mr.. Duncan, Mr..
Mann and Mr.. PancoaSt-are
actively seeking the mayorship.
Mr.. Bendheim led the field in
the primary by 800 votes over
Mr.. Duncan. but the vote spread
was only 700 between first and
last place.
| Each Democratic candidate
takes an oath to support the
whole slate, but a party official
said there is a lot of activity in
this campaign for plunker votes.
"Plunker" Votes Urged
! Complicating the picture is
another downtown merchant
group which is reported urging
plunker votes for four candi-
dates, including the Independent.
! Possible purchase of the pri-
vately owned Alexandria Water
! Co. by the city has been injected
into the election which has been
devoid of major issues. Mayor
Marshall j. Beverly, who is not
seeking reelection, accused the
promoters of the idea of using
the water issue for a political
football.

Virginia Bides
Time on Schools
CIurificution Awaited
On Integrotion Ruling

F1CdMOND, va, JUNE II VII.
The State Commission on Pub
lie Education appeared today to
be willing to bide its time a bit
more on the school integration
question, at least until the Fed
eral courts make it plain how
immediate they regard the Su-
preme Courts bid for action.
This was the implication of
the preliminary report the COM
mission made to Gov. Stanley
recommending no change in the
status of Virginia schools for the
year beginning in September.
The implication was given sub
stance by a commission member
who noted that the groups fail
lure to recommend a special As
Isembly session didn't mean that
the Governor couldn't call a ses-
sion as soon as the courts shed
more light on their interpreta-
Ition of the high court directive.
Formula Sought
State Senator Garland Gray,
commission chairman, told re-
porter today his group will meet
again soon to continue its search
for a legal formula to prevent
enforced racial integration in
1.-THE public schools.
He said the commission meant
to lose no time in perfecting
the program and drafting legis-
Ilative changes. There was a hint
in the preliminary report that
some of the proposed changes
constitutional as well as statu-
ltory-were being readied for AS
Isemly action.
We're continuing to work and
we will have other meetings" :"
Mr.. Gray said. No definite date
for the. next session has been
set. he said. But it won't be too
far away.
NAACP Silent
There was no public action to
the commissions Friday recon-
mendation and Gov. Stanley's
Endorsement of it from officials
Iof the Virginia Conference of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
Spottswood Robinson, III, of
the NAACP legal staff here de-
Iclined to express his reaction to
the report. He indicated, though,
the NAACP viewpoint might be
made known in a statement
Iafter tomorrow's conferences in
Petersburg.
Representatives of more than
100 NAACP local branches in
Virginia had been called to meet
at the Zion Baptist Church in
Petersburg. A separate confer
ence will be held by the 13 Vir-
.ginia lawyers on the NAACP
legal staff.
A national conference of
INAACP officials and lawyers in
Atlanta last week end suggested
that local NAACP chapters move
Immediately to petition school
boards for "a prompt and rea-
Isonable start" toward desegrega-
ton as prescribed by the Su-
preme Court on May 81. The
Atlanta directive said follow-up'
plans should be made for new
action in the Federal courts if
necessary.

Citizen Counsel
AT Utility Rate
|HearingsUrged
Defender Agency
| Needed by People,
| KimeI Tells Board

Establishment Of a people s
COUNSEL to represent Virginia
lcitizens during State Corporation
Commission utility rate hearings
has been urged by Alvin F,
Kimel, Arlington County Board
member.
Mr.. Kimel, Democratic pri-
mary candidate for the House
of Delegates, said the Virginia
Legislature should set up "a
peoples counsel as a defender
Iagency to protect citizens from
excessive rates"
Speaking at a county board
meeting yesterday, he declared:
1.-THE State Corporation Com
mission, in not even giving rea-
sons for its decisions, has placed
everyone in a very unfortunate
position"
Must Pay Own Expenses
Mr., Kimel said local juriSdic-
tionS and citizens who wish to
protest proposed public utility
rate increase requests must ar
que before the commission at
their own expense.
Mr.. Kimel's remarks came
after the County Civic Fedora
tion asked the board to seek the
cooperation of other municipah-
ties served by the Virginia Elec-
trio and Power Co. in requesting
the State Commission for a hear
ing on reduction in Vepco's rates.
The federation. through its
spokesman, Walter Kinsbury.
asked the board to pay part of
the cost of the proceedings in
THE event of such a hearing.
The board referred the matter
to the county Public Utilities
Commission.
Incorporation Study Report
At the close of the meeting.
Mr.. Kimel said Arlington spent
$4,000 last year to be repre-
Isented during several of the
State Corporation Commissions
rate hearings. A peoples coun-
sci" also would have the power
to investigate the efficiency of
public utilities. he said.
The County Board also re-
ceived an advisory committee
report stating that there had
not been any recent pertinent
changes which would make city
status desirable for the county.
In 1852, the county voted down
a proposal to incorporate.
The Advisory Committee on
County Government Organiza-
ton and Procedure, in it's report,
said the loss in State highway
funds would outweigh any in
corporation advantages. About
$750,000 a year would be lost if
Arlington became a city, the
committee said.
Protests Dyed Chicks
In other action, the board re-
ferred to a committee for study
Iof a request by the local Animal
Welfare League for Arlington to
prohibit the sale of dyed baby
chickens. Mrs. Paul M. Twyne,
president of the league, referred
to the annual Easter sales as
"a legalized form of cruelty"
She added: "It's not so much
the store, it's the mauling which
the chicks receive after they are
sold"
commemorative Attorney
William J. Hassan said the
board did not have the author
Iity to enact a criminal ordinance
without an enabling State law.
He said that the matter requires
a study of the licensing and
zoning laws.

At Fairgrounds

Montgomery Official
Proposes No Closing
Or Merger Of Areas

Adoption of an integrated
program for Montgomery coun-
ty Fairgrounds will not involve
the closing or merging of any
play areas, according to Forest
Gustafson. county director Of
recreation.
Seven of the so Fairgrounds
to be used this summer were
used for Negroes only last year.
ANY change in their status will
be made gradually" he said.
Four of the seven are located
in the suburban area on the
grounds of subStandard ele-
|mentary schools which the Board
of Education has announced will
be abandoned this September.
These are the River Road
School in Bethesda, the Ken
Gar School in Kensington. the
Takoma Park School and the
Linden School in the Lyttons-
willie section of Silver Spring.
Other former Negro play
grounds are at the Scotland
community on Seven Locks road
and at Norbeck and Colesville.
The latter playground is on the
site of the Smithville School.
which was abandoned several
years ago.
Announced Yesterday
MI. Gustafsop announced the
end of segregation in county,
Operated summer programs yes
terday.
The action came in the form
of an administrative order which
he said was prompted by re-
cent Fourth U. S. Circuit Court
of Appeals ruling banning segre-
cation at Maryland beaches and
parks.
j. Grahame Walker. president
of the County Council. said the
Issue was referred to the council
by County Manager M. L. Reese.
1T wasn't discussed to any ex-
tent. because actually the Court
of Appeals had set the policy"
Mr.. Walker said. The council,
without taking a vote, passed
the decision to end playground
segregation to the recreation di-
rector.
Pool Plans Unchanged
Mr.. Gustafson said he didn't
expect the decision to affect
plans for public swimming pools
in the county.
The county managers budget
now being considered by the
County Council calls for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for site
purchase and planning of the
first Of four projected county,
operated swimming pools.
The item will be discussed at
a public hearing on the recrea-
ton budget Wednesday night in
the County Building, Rockville.
Meanwhile, Mr.. GuStafson's
decision was applauded by Mrs.
Maude McElroy of Rockville,
president of the Montgomery
chapter of the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement of
Colored People.
She said it was a natural
follow-up to the county's an
nounced plans to begin integra-
ton of schools this fall, since
recreation is a part of the edu-
cational process"

Thus United States and

Our efforts to hold the line
against the Chinese Commu-
nists suffered a new setback
last Monday when full diplo-
matte relations were established
between Peiping and Belgrade.
The announcement Of the
Tito Mao rapport was accepted
in Washington without Official
comment, or any indication OF
displeasure. 1t did not inter-
fere in the slightest with the
decision of the administration
to hand over to hard-pressed
Yugoslavia some $40 million
worth Of wheat, flour, cotton
and other immediate necessi-
ties. Payment is to be made
in YugoSlavian currency, which
cannot be changed into dollars
or pounds sterling but must be

for the sake Of q record for
the President. Might this mean
that he might be dropped as
second man on the 1856 ticket
should the President run
again? That was a concern
of the Vice President.
Now another circumstance
enters our story.
There was another result
Of the Republican loss of the
election. Party leaders i'm
mediately started an like in
Sc" boom. It grew out of the
very logical deduction that
the Republican Party could
not possibly win two years
from now without the Pres
ident at the head of the
ticket.
Now for another circum-
stance in our serial story.
with the return Of Congress,
Democrats opened up anew
on the Vice President. as we
have observed. The cue was
given by Mr.. Democrat" him
self-Representative Sam Ray
burn Of Texas--who took the
occasion Of his election as
Speaker Of the House to pro-
nounce solemnly from the
high eminence Of that office
in a way Mr.. Nixon could not
misunderstood, even though
the Speaker did not use his
name. Other Democrats took
UP the hue and cry.
This gave the Vice Presi-
dent an opening and an op-
portunity which he was quick
to seize. What would the fu-
sillade against him suggest to
a clever politician, which he
is? Well. a martyrs role is
one answer-and it was his.
He put over the idea pri-
vately and quietly that an at
tack on him was an attack on
the whole party and. above
all, on the President. In this
way. he rallied Republicans
to his defense--the chairman

Eisenhower Answers Wisely
Refuses to Let Question on Ni,ons Tocties Be Used
To Generate Friction Inside Republican Porty

Vice President had said what
his critics claimed or on the
basis Of what Mr.. Nixon really
did say in the campaign. 1t
turned out that the query was
based solely on the allegations
of the Democrats.
Mr.. Eisenhower thereupo1
said he would give q few facts
himself. First Of all, he de-
clared that he didn't consider
any political party in America
to be q party Of treason and
that only the Communist Party
could be held to be treason
able. At its last session Con-
gress by statute declared the
Communist Party subversive.
Next, the President said no
such sweeping condemnation
Of any major party had been
made by Mr. Nixon. Mr.. Eisen-
hover revealed that he had
been assured by the Vice Presi-
dent himself that never, even
by implication, had ne tried
to condemn an entire party
but that the speeches which
had been criticized contained
references only to individual
cases and to the way they were
handled adnlinistratively. Mr..
Nixon. the President said. had
questioned good Judgment but
never loyalty.
What the Democrats have
employed recently is not, Of
course, a new device-to raise
a smoke screen in rebutting q
charge Of administrative in
competence. When Attorney
General Brownell made a
speech in October. 1853, criti-
cizing former President Tru-
man for having been lax in
handling the case Of Harry
Dexter White after the FBI
had made specific reports con-
corning Whites role in a Com
munist ring, there was q hue
and cry to the effect that Mr..
