Full 4-Year Term
Due 10 Start in Fall
Al Wakefield High

An Arlington School Board
request for more than SO million
in the proposed 1886 county
budget includes funds to set up
a complete high school program
at Wakefield next fall, Supt. T.
Edward Rutter said yesterday.
Twelfth grade students will be
enrolled at that 81 million jun
ior-senior high school foe the
first time in September Tenth
graders started there in 1858
and 18th grade classes began
last fall.
The proposed budget is about
16 per cent higher than the re-
vised budget for the current ifs
cal year.
Sc Raise for Teachers.
Most of the increase, Mr.. Rut-
ter said, is for 5 per cent pay
raise for all personnel. including
teachers, and for a .$235, 900 kin
dergarten program.
The school board asked the
County Board to act on the bud
get and set tax rates by May /
so that teacher contracts can be
offered early in May. The County
Board is required by law to set
tax rates by May Is.
In other business, the board
referred to the Arlington Educa-
ton Association, the teachers
organization, a request from Arl-
acknowledgements Movement
that school employees be pro-
hibited from taking part in con-
ventions choosing candidates for
the School Board.
The association was asked to
report its views on what policy
should apply to non-teaching
personnel as well as teachers.
Cites Code of Ethics
DR.. Barnard Joy, School Board
member, commented:
1T seems to me that the Ar
lington Independent Movement
has overlooked the fact that our
supervisors. cipals and
teachers are members Of a pro-
fession and adhere to a code of
ethics which, of course. does not
condone improper political &C
tivity."
The Federal Government was
ordered paid a refund of $21,250
from funds granted to the
county in the last fiscal year
under Public Law 874. Assistant
Supt. E. ]. Braun said the
county has included in its ap-
plication Federal workers who
are not supposed to be counted
because they work outside the
county on property that Is
leased, not owned. by the Gov
eminent.
The refund will be paid out
of this years grant, what may
amount to about 100000, Mr..
Braun said,

Neuberger Believes
Women Will Run
For Top U. 5. Offices

Senator Neuberger believes it
will not be long before a woman
runs for President or Vice Presi-
dent.
The Oregon Democrat told the
Woman's Democratic Club of
Virginia's 10th district yester-
day:
IT think the time will come
when people will not think it
unusual for a women to run for
President or Vice President"
He added that If the ratio of
men to women in politics should
be reversed "it couldn't be any
worse, and it might possibly be
better"
Points To Census Count
Senator Neuberger, pointing
out that women make up about
81 per cent of the Nations popu-
lation, said:
IF a woman is elected to Of
flee she has to be exceptional,
but any mediocre candidate in
pants can win"
The Senator's remarks came
during a school of politics" at
the Woman's National Demo-
cratic Club. Moving on to the
question of ethics. in political
campaigns, he said:
II am in favor of having one
of the great foundations set up
a tribunal of non-partisan per-
sons to point the finger at any
one who hits below the belt dur
ing campaigns for major Offices
Recalls Smear Campaign
This committee. he said, would
be made up of non partisan men
of high ethics, representing bust
ness, labor and religion. The
Senator said the need for such
a group was illustrated by the
smear campaigns conducted
against himself and others be-
fore the last elections.
IF we allow this abuse te
continue" he declared, 1T will
drive the better people out oil
politics-they will not indure
such abuse"
Another speaker. J. Fletcher
Wellemeyer, vice chairman of the
Fairfax County Democratic
| Committee. said 10th district
residents do not get a fair per.
centage Of State funds.
Cites State Tax Figures
Mr.. Wellemeyer, an economist
said in 1850 Fairfax paid $26.6t
per person in taxes to the State
and got back $685. per person
from Virginia. He said:
Because we got so little the
taxpayer had to ante up the diff
ference for local services anc
Fairfax had to collect locally &C
per cent of the amount needed
for local services.
In some counties this pro.
portion was as low as IS to 81
per cent. We recognize that the
weather. areas should to some
extent substitute counties less
wealthy. but these differences are
far too great"

New Toll Study
Urged for Span
|At Cabin John
Fenwick Suggests
Bi-Stute Authority
To Finunee Bridge
A bi-state toll bridge authority

that operate the ports of Hamp-
ton Roads and New York-has
been suggested as a possible
means of financing a proposed
Potomac River Bridge at Cabin
John, Md.
State Senator Charles r. Fen
wich, Democrat. Of Arlington,
said yesterday. he has called on
his counterpart in the Maryland
General Assembly to explore the
possibility before the session ends
at Annapolis on April 4.
The request went to State
Senator Edward s. Northrop.
Democrat, Of Montgom cry
County.
A report on toll bridge pros
poets in this area is scheduled
to be made tomorrow afternoon
at a meeting of District. Mary
land. Virginia and Federal high
way officials. A study of the
problem has been made by the
consultants, Wilbur Smith &
Associates. and was financed
jointly by the four Jurisdictions.
Not Ruled Out Entirely.
Last year the Smith firm did
an extensive survey of traffic
problems in the Metropolitan
area of Virginia at the direction
of the General Assembly of that
State. It considered the ques-
ton Of tolls in the area and in
dicated there is some doubt as
to whether there would be suf-
ficient traffic volumes to justify
toll span at Cabin John.
But Senator Fenwick said he
saw language in portions of the
Smith report which does not
rule out the toll idea entirely.
His proposal-creation of an
authority. which would issue
revenue bonds to finance the
project apparently would over
come one handicap that faces
it: An indication by Virginia
highway officials that money is
not in sight to finance that
States approaches to the span.
Further Studies Needed
Mr.. Fenwick said further
studies should be made to de-
termine whether it is feasible to
construct toll facilities from the
vicinity Of Fairfax to Cabin John
This would tie in with plans OF
the Maryland Roads Commits
sion to extend the west leg Of
Washington tional Pike
(Route 240) down to Cabin John
There is no doubt" Mr.. Fem
wick said. that trucks anc
much of the through traffic from
the south and west on Routes 90
211 and SO would use a toll
bridge. They would avoid the
serious bottlenecks at Falls
Church, along Lee highway ir
Arlington and in Georgetown"
Would Issue Bonds
During the last few years
Maryland Roads Commission of.
f1cials have been interested ir
the toll possibilities of Cabir
John bridge since Maryland owns
the river and presumably would
have the burden of building the
span itself as well as the ap.
proaches on its side of the river
Under the toll-authority plan
however, the corporation thai
would be created would be au.
thorized to issue it's own bond.
without pledging the credit o.
either State.
Since the Smith firm threw
some doubt on toll prospects al
Cabin John. Maryland "hasn'
been very active" in exploring thu
topic further. according tt
George N. Lewis, jr.. State Road!
Commission traffic engineer.
He said he was not precludins
the possibility that interes
might be revived by the new
Smith study of toll possibilities.

lof Colonial Williamsburg's land
Iscaping section. believes this
hardy lockwood was planted
sometime during the 18th cen

which It has since outlived and
Iovergrown.
Altogether there are more than
$4,000 feet Of lockwood hedges
Igracing the ninety 18th century
gardens in restored Williams
burg.
There are some 80 different
types of lockwood, but the two
most common varieties are the
dwarf and tree box. Mr.. Eaton
recommends to the home gar
.dener that the dwarf be planted
in partial shade to avoid summer
Iscalds and winter burn. For bet
ter effect. the dwarf box should
remain unclipped. Tree box is
faster growing. and will with
stand more sun. It will sometimes
seed itself. OF the two. dwarf is
the most popular and the most
widely cultivated of It's finer tex
ture and slower rate of growth.

Now nature can be given a
