Budget Omits
Tax Increase

Alexandria City Council, in an
executive session last night. ten
tatively accepted a $7.8 million
budget for 1856 which would
carry no increase in the tax
rate.
City Manager Ira F. Willard
said today that $4,000 had
been cut from a previous propo-
sal. This was in line with a re-
quest by City Council which in
structed Mr.. Willard to reduce
the budget to eliminate any tax
increase.
Mr.. Wizards original budget
provided for the imposition of
a 2 per cent sales tax or a To-
cent increase in the real estate
tax rate to cover a deficit.
A large portion of the cut was
made in public works projects
which councilmen instructed Mr..
Willard to include in a future
bond issue. Details of the other
cuts were not released pending
official acceptance of the budget
at a future meeting.

Strong Protests Delay Plan
To Regulate Nursery Schools

as part of an elementary school
system fall in a different cate
CORY.
Mr.. Smyth offered an amend
ment to exempt kindergartens
which are operated as part of
elementary schools and which do
not accept children beneath S
years of age.
Ranking Provision
One of the regulations that
particularly ranked the Catholic
delegation would have given the
county authority to pass on the
moral character of kindergarten
personnel - which presumably
could include nuns and priests.
They also protested that the
physical requirements would
force them to discontinue their
kindergartens.
The Right Rev. Msgr. Louis
Flaherty, diocesan superintend-
ent of parochial schools in Vir-
ginia, said the church did not
think the Department of Public
Welfare should have jurisdiction
over educational institutions.
"That's what this ordinance
would do" said Father Flaherty.
Attorney William Moncure,
representing 80 private nursery
schools, said the committee that
drafted the ordinance ignored
every suggestion except a minor
one submitted by operators Of
existing nursery schools.
The Federation of Co-opera-
tive Nursery Schools and repre-
sentatives from the Benjamin
Acres and Peter Piper schools
Endorsed the proposed ordinance.

Teachers Lift
Ban on Negro

A ban on Negro membership
has been lifted by the Airing
ton Education Association, the
teachers organization.
The association eliminated the
race barrier at closed meet
ing last night attended by al
most 900 members.
The action came when the as
ISOLATION voted to amend its
constitution to erase the word
white" from the requirements
for membership.
The organization, made up of
879 teachers and administrators,
decided to end the race ban
during a session lasting less than
two hours at Jefferson Junior
High School.
John l.. Palmer, president of
the association, reported:
There was open discussion
and both sides we're heard. 1t
was handled in a professional
manner"
Mr.. Palmer, who is principal
Of Cherrydale High School, said
the vote on the amendment pro-
posal was not counted. He said
that there was clearly more"
votes than the two-thirds needed
to carry the motion.
There are about rs Negro
teachers in Arlington. They are
