A new formula for distributing
State aid to education in vir-
ginia. which would result in fast
growing areas getting several
hundred thousand dollars more
each year. has been proposed by
the State Department Of Edu-
cation.
For the 1854 school year. the
four nearby jurisdictions-Ar-
lington, Alexandria. Falls Church
and Fairfax-would have re-
ceived $316.3o5 more had the
formula been in effect.
i Delegate John c. Webb Of
Fairfax said today he had been
informed Of the proposal by
State Supt. of Public Instruc-
ton Dowell J. Howard.
DR.. Howard told The Star
today that the proposed for

sought to get approved by the
1854 Legislatures designed to
distribute funds on a more
equitable basis ito such fast

on a complicated average daily

general, this means that the
States share Of teacher salaries
Is pro-rated among the various
counties and cities based on
school enrolment for the preced-
ing year.
Hence the fast-growing COM
munities-such as the nearby
areas-always have many thou
sand more students in school
each year but receive State aid
only on the preceding years en-
rollment.
Under the new proposal by DR..
Howard, the formula would be
based on the current years en-
rollment.
Dr.. Howard offered the plan
at the current series Of hearings
In Richmond by Gov. Stanley's
Budget Advisory COMMITTEES. It
Is now preparing the budget to
be submitted to the General
Assembly In January.
Praises Support
'The recommendation OF the
State Board Of Education" Mr..
Webb said, should result in
substantial financial gains for
the entire 10th district. 1t is
but another example Of the fact
that the problems of Northern

Albert v. Bryan. Mr.. Hcrwatt
invoked the protection Of tbs
Fifth Amendment to block Mr..
Freeman's line Of questioning.
He respectfully declined to an

voted on In the November 8 elec-
ton.
David L. Krupsaw and Ralph
Kaul, nominated by Arlington
ians for a Better County and
running on the Convention slate.
made their stand known at a
meeting last night at jackson
School
Their opponents. Arlington In
dependent Movement candidates
Arthur Pomponio and Capt. A.
B. Leggett. said they believe the
referendum calling for improve
rnents in streets. sidewalks and
drainage--is justified because OF
emergency conditions.
The referendum was requested
by the AIM-controlled County
Board.
Mr.. Krupsaw said he opposes
this hastily thrown together
bond proposal" because there
was mo real planning done on
1t. no consultation with the
people. no stated priorities, and
because more than S5.6 million
in bond funds is still unspent." "
Debate Segregation
Willis Kern Of AIM said the
question before the voters Is
whether they want AIM to con-
tinue segregation or "our oppo-
nents to integrate our schools. "
Running with him are Mrs.
Susan O'Hara and DR.. l., II.
Blevins.
Mrs. Barbara Riches. a Con-
vention candidate, said the only
way AIM candidates can be sure
to maintain complete segrega- :
ton would be to sell the schools
to private interests. James @.
Stockard and Incumbent DR..
Barnard Joy are also on the Con-
vention slate for the School
Board.
DIR. Joy said the Defenders Of
State Sovereignty, a pro-segre-
CATION organization of which Mr..
Kern is a member, apparently
has taken over the campaign Of
AIM" Dr.. Joy said a newspaper
advertisement published in Ar
lington yesterday over the De-
tenders name was ''the lowest
type Of gutter politics.
Mr.. Kern said he knew moth
ing Of the advertisement. which
predicted the convention slate
would integrate the schools. Mrs.
O'Hara and DR.. Blevins said they
are not members OF the De-
tenders.
Defenders Stand Hit
Today the convention candi-
dates issued a statement saying
they were shocked by another
Defenders advertisement. The
statement. mailed to county
voters. quotes a Defenders ad-
vertisement saying, "It's the Fa-
therhood Of God and Brother

Norman Wood, Sitka's huge pivot man, and Terry Nelson, personally conducted the Tim Der Wolves to a 43-30 vic ory over Sheldon Jackson before a disturbingly small crowd in the opening round of the Lions Annual tournament last night.
 The Timber Wolves will meet the Edgecumbe Braves in the title game for the top prize in a clash scheduled to get underway at 8 p. m. in the Edgeoumbe Field House to- morrow night, A preliminary game is set for 6:3O.
 A surprisingly good Edge curnibe Junior Varsity team dropped the winless Jaycees a s ep lower in the prelirnin- ary meet of last nights dou- ble header. The final count was 53-30.
 The Island Jayvees, in com mand all the way, looked good at times and the win came as welcome relief to coach Bill Patterson who must rebuild after this season due to heavy losses his varsity will suffer via graduation.
 Norman Wood, a slick dou- ble pivot operator and fancy Dan shooter guided Sitka in its path to victory in the mos spirited opening the Wolves have experienced in many years. Taking scoring honors with IT points. Wood may pose a difficult problem to Edge.

Sports TruiI
by Whitney Martin

New York (P) This is a bela- ted tribute to a man with the strength of his convictions; a man who unswervingly adher- ed to the course he had outlin ed and which he thought best for all concerned despite acid criticism which would have re- duced many lesser individual to soft vacillating hulk.
 The man is Earl Blaik, the re tired colonel who coaches foot ball at the West Point Military Academy, who decided that Don Holleder, a great end, could play quarterback for him &C., ceptaIbly, and who stuck to that conviction in times when it seemed sheer folly.
 That Blaik was gentleman of character and resolution had been demonstrated on innurner able occasions before, and par ticularly during those bleak days following the dismissal of most of his squad in the so- called cribbing scandal.
 That was a time to try a mans soul, and the way the
 all and ramrod straight tacti- clan and teacher met the chal- lenge won the admiration of all. He not only defended his boys, but stuck with the wreck ed ship and methodically went about the business of rebuild ing.
 Such a man would no. be like ly to cry with pain at critical barbs and change his tactics to solace his detractors when his great experiment this year seemed doomed to failure. Holleder is big, rugged fel- low. His play at end was a ser- ies of masterpieces. He could do everything the position call ed for, and do it superbly. It was his spot, that's all.
 But when Blaik called him a- side and told him he wanted him to play quarterback, he took over the new and strange job without protest.
 He was making tremendous sacrifice in personal glory, and he must have realized it. At end
