Death at Revival Meeting
Ruled To Be Suicide

ALTHA, Fla, Rl-The death of
a 75-year-old preacher bitten by
a snake he handled at a revival
meeting was ruled a suicide.
The Rev. George Went Hensley

tlesnake at church service Sun
day to demonstrate his faith in
his religion. He believed that be-
cause Of his faith in God he was
immune to the snakes venom.
He collapsed soon after he was
bitten, but refused all medical
treatment, and died Monday
morning.
County Judge Hannah Gaskin
ruled the aged minister's death a
suicide on the ground he volun-
tarily picked up the poisonous
snake and refused medical care
after he was bitten.
An associate, the Rev. 0. M.
Lassiter, said Hensley had told
him that he had been bitten at
least 400 times by poisonous
snakes in the past SIS years but

Tentative Agreement
Sets Postal Pay Boost
At 8@&o Average

WASHINGTON, R-One SEN
ate-House conferee on the postal
pay increase bill said yesterday a
tentative agreement had been
reached on a salary boost averag-
ing 812 percent.
This would be close to the 8.3
average increase voted by the
House. The Senate passed a bill
calling for a flat 10 percent raise
except that every postal employee
would get at least $500 annually.
A conference agreement is sought.
The pay raise would 60 to all
the nations 100000 postal work
erS.
Whatever is the final outcome,
the bill might run into a presi-
dental veto. President Eisenhow-
er has indicated he will not 60
beyond a TO percent raise.
One conferee, who asked that
his name not be used, said an all
but final accord had been worked
out on the 812 percent figure ret
roactive to March L. This was the
effective date in the House bill
This source said the conferees
had decided to write percent
minimum into the bill. AS it
passed the House, the floor was
6 percent, but only a relatively
few would get this small raise.

In a supplementary statement
Webster S. Rhoads, jr., head OF
Ione of Richmond's largest de-

time has come to reappraise this

conditions which confront u.s."
Mr.. Rhoads said there is need
"for a most careful study of the

of providing a part of the funds
required for permanent capital

On Bond Vote

The Arlington County Board
has voted to ask the school board
whether it plans q bond issue
referendum in November. School
Board members have indicated
that the County Board win have
to wait at least until school opens
for the information.
The County Board in its re-
quest voted yesterday. wants the
School Board to outline its ex-
pected classroom needs In 1885,
81 and 1957-5S, and to indicate
If bond issue referendum will
be required this year.
The action was taken on a
motion by Robert A. Peck, who
declared Il don't think we should
allow another little, too-late
crisis to be thrown UP against
us again."
Data Declared q Need
Mr.. Peck said the County
Board should have the informa-
Ition to make plans for financing
such projects as sidewalk con-
Istruction at the schools.
Emphasizing that he was not
proposing that a school con-
struction referendum was nee
Iessary. Mr.. Peck declared that
III one is necessary it should be
voted on in the November cleo
ton.
Asked to comment. School
Board members DR.. Erwin r.
IDraheim and DR.. Barnard Joy re-
piled that a study to determine
classroom needs has not yet been
completed. The school board has
already announced that a bond
issue win be needed sometime
within the next year. Officials
have estimated that $40 million
is needed.
The major projects that would
be covered by the $40 million
figure are the construction Of
Yorktown Senior High School
and Gunston Junior High School,
and the completion of Kenmore
Junior High School.
DR.. Joy said, additional bond
funds will be needed to take care
of an expected enrolment ex-
'ceeding $4,000 in 1860.
However. enrolment may
reach a peak in 1860 or shortly
thereafter. A very thorough
study is in progress to determine
precisely as possible the exact
amount Of space needed at var
ious locations. Determination OF
the exact amount and the date
of the next bond issue will not
be made before the completion
of the study"
DR.. Joy said that data on en-
rollment in September 1855 Is an
important aspect OF the study"
