Texas Town Reopens
Schools in Spite Of
Strike Over Firing
BY the Assoeieisd Press

IRVING. Tex. Mar. 2.-The
eight Irving schools opened on
schedule today. despite q strike
of teachers and other school
workers. and the acting super
intendent of schools said the sit
uation was better today than
yesterday, when the strike be-
gan.
Parents and others took over
the jobs of missing teachers and
workers.
The employees struck to seek to
have Supt. John l.. Beard re-
stored to his job. He was fired
without a public explanation.
The School Board announced
that, in effect. nine school prin-
cipals and other executives who
struck are fired.
And the board said that If
striking teachers didn't return
to classes today, they too would
be without jobs.
ia Stay Away From Jobs.
Some ia persons stayed away
from their jobs yesterday. They
met last night and continued
in session until $3.50 am. today.
When the meeting broke up.
none OF the participants would
reveal what went on.
Acting Supt. Charles Lang
ston said this morning some new
teachers had been employed and
some who struck yesterday had
returned. He said. shortly after
school opened, that he had not
fully checked all schools to see
how many teachers were on the
job.
But his early check showed
that nine teachers at the junior
high school had returned to
work. The school employs AZ.
He said eight teachers at an
elementary school returned.
About Is per cent of the 800
or more teachers stayed away
from work yesterday, first day
of the walkout About half tie
Office workers and 80 per cent
of the custodian staff failed to
work yesterday.
A person who attended last
nights meeting. said another
meeting was scheduled at an
"unspecified time" today. He
would not elaborate.
Police Watch Closely.
Police, reinforced by county
officers, watched the schools
closely to prevent an outbreak
of violence feared since school
board meeting Monday night.
That meeting ended in hysteri-
cal shouting and name-calling
and only the presence of an aug
mented police force was believed
to have prevented fisticuffs.
DR.. Beard was fired as super
intendent of schools II days ago
and the school board gave no
explanation. Board President
Charles E. Young said the board
did not intend to make an ex-
planation before IAN emotional
audience. "Dr. Beard, Mr.. Young
said. could take his case to the
proper court or to the State
commissioner of education If he
cared to protest.

Yarrow was slain.
Attack Made Yesterday.
Farrell went to Mrs. Miller's
home yesterday morning and,
with a butcher knife in hand,
robbed and raped her in front of

Unworthy of Belief

In other circumstances, the perjury
conviction of Mrs. Marie Natvig might be
looked upon with considerable misgiving.
For her whole course of conduct since she
came into the news has raised doubt that
she should be held criminally responsible
for her statements.
The difficulty is that Mrs. Natvig has
said things that were extremely damaging
to other people. First, she said she had
associated as Communist in the sos with
Edward o. Lamb. Later, upon retractAng
this testimony, she said she had been "co-
creed" into lying by Walter r. Powell, jr.,
former attorney for the Federal Commu-
nications Commission.
Mrs. Natvig's perjury trial did not
bear directly on either of these matters.
The indirect effect of her conviction, how
ever, is to brand as unworthy OF belief
her testimony against both men. This
is result which may bear down harShly
on Mrs. Natvig. But it is also result
which tends to undo the damage which
she had done to others.

try's present policies and that "the West
should not think that we are changing
Sides" As he has put 1t, he wants good
relations with both the Communist and
non-C Communist worlds, and Yugoslavia-
which is grateful to the West and par
ticularly to the United States"-has no in
tention Of doing anything sensational or
upsetting.
Judging from Titos record since 1948,
there appears to be no reason to doubt the
sincerity Of these assurances. Actually, as
future events may show, the Soviet mission
to Yugoslavia may merely be part of
genuine overall effort to ease interna-
tional tensions and win breathing spell
to enable Russia to cope with its serious
home-front problems. And If that is really
the case, Of course, there is little ground
for misgivings.

Three Supernovae Considered
According to the conclusions
of Drs. Walter Baade and r.
Minkowski, Carnegie Institu-
tion of Washington astrono-
mers at Mount Wilson and
Mount Palomar obServatories
in California, only one of the
three definitely reported super
novae in human history has
been approximately identified
as a radio star. This is the Crab
nebula in the constellation of
Taurus, usually identified as
vast cloud of hot gas with
crablike arms. 1t is believed
almost certainly to be the
"ghost" of a star explosion re-
ported by both Chinese and
Japanese astronomers in 1854.
In one day it became brighter
than the planet Jupiter, despite
its enormous distance from the
earth, and disappeared as
visual object in about a year.
A strong radio emission
source is in the constellation
of Cassiopea. which is approx
mately in the position of a
supernova reported by the
Danish astronomer, Tycho
Brahe, in 1872. For a few days
it rivaled the planet Venus in
brightness and then diSap-
peared. No visible trace of it
can now be found. It, however.
is in a region of rather dense
space clouds, compared to the
Crab nebula. A third probable
supernova was observed by the

but it has been impossible to
find any visible or radio trace
Of the ghost.
It is impossible. the two
Carnegie astronomers say. to
estimate with much assurance
the period when the remains
of a supernova can be expected
to radiate. The radiation evi-
IDENTIFY has some other cause
than heat. If this were not the
case, the emission would be
expected to decline with in
creasing dispersion and COOL
ing Of the extremely tenuous
gas. 1t, however, should last
at least 1000 years and. in all
probability. 10000 years.
There always is a strong
radiation, Drs. Baade and
Minkowski point out. from the
galaxy as a whole, which in
creases in intensity towards
the center of the system where
the stars are thickest.
Supernovae Radiation Slight
But, they believe, on the
basis of the Crab nebula OBJ
servations, if all the 100 super
novae of the past 10000 years
still were radiating, their total
radiation would be only about
one per cent of that of the
galaxy as a whole.
ITO make the evidence final
that remnants of Supernovae
are radio sources, a search for
a radio source in the position
of Kepler's nova and an at
tempt to measure its size would
be of great value" the Carnegie
scientists say.
"In a giant stellar system
like the galaxy, supernovae Of
this type should appear with
a frequency of perhaps five per
1000 years. Since the relative
ly high intensity of the Crab
nebula shows that the radio
emission probably will persist
for much more than 1000
years, a number of unknown
supernova remnants must be
observable as individual radio
sources. Since the emission
is nonthermal, its rate of de-
cay cannot be computed. 1t
is certain the radio emission
of the Crab nebula must de-
crease greatly during the next
10000 years, when its density
reaches that of interstellar
space. If it should continue
with undiminished intensity
until that time, the 100 super
novae appearing in 10000 years
would emit a total of a few
tenths of one per cent of the
total emission Of the galaxy"

Dentists Chorqes

The best way to beat the

Gently proposed by DR.. A. j.

monopoly in dental schools and
dental boards now maintained
by the dental societies. Thou
sands OF students are turned
away annually by these $36-

as this condition prevails, the
public will be compelled to pay

DR.. Kershaw's proposal is
bolstered by the old argument
as to the investment in a
dentists education. If the good
doctor would look around he
would realize that every pro-

New Airport Site

I can recall that several
years ago citizens Of Alexan-
dria were complaining about
the numerous airplane flights
across their city, which created
noise nuisance and a threat
to life and property in case of
a crash. Arlington County res
idents have registered the
same complaint, due to the
same source, namely. a busy
airport as a next-door neigh
Dor.
Further, we all have fresh in
our minds disaster after disas-
ter, in which not only were the
planes and occupants destroyed,
but hapless men. women and
children in the path of the
plunging craft were killed. I do
not need to waste your space
to name instances, for they are
known to every reader.
Yet, in spite of this, we OBJ
serve a determined drive to
build the needed new airport
at Burke, Va. Every plane
which now crosses over the
crowded Metropolitan Area
will continue to do SO if that
site is used. Only the hazard
from the western routes will be
slightly reduced because the
Centreville-Fairfax area has
not yet reached its full growth.
though fast developing.
The coastwise airlines run
northeast-southwest. If their
routes we're north and south,
Burke might be all right and
planes using it would skirt the
Metropolitan Area to the west
ward. The geography being
what it is. a site must be Sc
lected in the western part of
Fairfax County. All the eco
nomic advantages named by
proponents of the Burke loca-
tion still would accrue, along
with the paramount advantage
of maximum safety for all.
What profit would it be if the
county took in a few extra
million dollars and as a result,
for lack of foresight, developed.
an unnecessary casualty list?
