State Par|eyS Sci
On NAACP Suit
Fenwick Arrunges
Arlington Meeting

A conference between Airing
ton school officials. Gov. Stanley
and State Attorney General j.
Lindsay Almond. jr., has been
arranged to discuss a school
segregation suit brought against
the county by the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement
of Colored People.
The meeting was arranged
yesterday by Arlington State
Senator Charles R. Fenwick
member of the Gray Commission
which is studying the segrega-
ton problem on a Statewide
basis.
Set for Tuesday
The meeting was set tenta-
lively for IL am. Tuesday by
the Governors Office at Rich
mond. Gov. Stanley was away
from the State capital this week
and Mr.. Almond was attending
a meeting in Phoenix, Ariz.
Members of the Arlington
School Board held conference
Sunday and decided to ask the
State for advice on what an
Swer it should file to the NAACP
suit filed in Federal Court at
Alexandria last Thursday.
The School Board will meet
tonight and is expected to adopt
the necessary resolution to for
ward to the State. Chairman E.
r. Draheim said he and Supt.
Edward T. Rutter would be
among the conferees.
Meanwhile, State Senator Gar
land Gray. chairman of the
commission that bears his name.
has called meeting of the exec
Iutive committee of that group for
10 am. Monday in Richmond.
Senator Fenwick, a member of
the executive committee. said he
would try to stay over for the
conference with Arlington Off
Gals the next day.
Full Meeting Planned
Senator Gray also said he
hoped to arrange for a full COM
mission meeting late next week,
possibly on Thursday or Friday.
The commission brought in a
plan designed to prevent forced
indignation of the races in public
school, but the General Assem-
bly, earlier this year failed to
carry out necessary legislation
to implement the program.
One of the more recent pro-
poSals known to be advanced for
the commissions study is a plan
whereby the State would with
draw its consent to be sued. Con-
sequently. according to propop-
entS of this plan. local school
boards which serve as agencies
of the State Government. could
not be sued by Negroes.

Mr.. Scott said he and other
persons in the colored COM
munity just over the District
line have received threatening
letters concerning the school,
which is being built now on Ad-
olson Chapel road at Filty-flrst

Police said one reason Turner
opposes the school is that it will

Two of the three candidates
for the Democratic congressional
nomination in nearby Virginia
yesterday accused Representative
the Republican incum-
bent, of favoring private transit
interests over the public interest.
One candidate, Morten S,
Boyer, Herndon va resident
seeking public Office for the first
time, declared the present 10th
Virginia district Congressman
spends most of his time keeping
Wolfson in business.
Cites Public Interest
Candidate Warren D. Quen-
stedt. a Fairfax attorney. also
attacked Mr.. Broyhill. saying
that if he were in Congress now.
he would be fighting for the
public interest and not for the
interests of Capital Transit"
The third 10th district aspir-
ant, Julius Bremen, a partner
in an Arlington bakery firm, TAX
ing a somewhat different line,
criticized the Republicans in gen.
eral for keeping and enforcing
Federal income tax laws. He said
income taxes could be elimi-
mated if the Federal Government
eliminates its unnecessary activ-
tiles"
The candidates views were
presented at luncheon meeting

lishments at various intersec-
tons on the approximately three
miles of new Route 205 that has
been relocated in its route from
Kenilworth avenue in the Dis
Itrict. through the KenilWorth in
Iterchange to East Riverdale.
i Other filling station zoning
petitions are pending.
! In addition, four stations pres
emily located along Kenilwortt
avenue in Maryland and ole
Edmonston road will be able tc
continue in business, since some
parts Of the new Edmonston roau
are being built on the same To-
cation.

In other words, in the total Of
about five miles of new dual high.
way being constructed from the
District line at Kenilworth ave.
nue. to a point on the old Edmon-
Ston road just south of Good
Luck road. there are nine gaso-
line stations either in operation
now, being built or ready to be
built.
One Of the chief purposes OF
this new State highway is tc
relieve traffic congestion along
the old Baltimore boulevard
sometimes called "Old Bloody
because of its high traffic fatality
toll.
One of the big causes of the
boulevard's high accident rate, in
the opinion of planners and
traffic safety experts, is the COM
plexity Of gasoline stations and
other roadside commerce located
on that heavily travelled four
lane road.
In other words, Edmonston
road. before it is even open to
traffic. already has in it the ele-
ments that will cause it's alb
science just AS surely as they
did the Baltimore boulevard,
said Lewis Elston. of the advance
planning section of the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
Failed to Get Rights
c. Warren Giauque, planning
engineer for the commission, said
the State Roads Commission
failed to obtain denied-access
rights at intersections along new
Edmonston road. as it often does
on similar types of new construc-
ton.
This has made it possible for
landowners to seek commercial
exploitation of land at the inter-
sections.
One coming application set fol
hearing on June 20 is aimed al
putting a gasoline station along
side the Kenilworth Interchange
ramp that carries District.
bound traffic from the new Route
205 up to the Federally-ownec
Baltimore Washington parkway
If the application is granted
any station built there could
have its entrance and exit roads
right on the ramp road.
MI. Giauque said the planning
commissions probably will have
to recommend approval of the
application. because the COM
mercial coming sought is COM
pletely in conformance with the
neighborhood. which is mostly
industrial. The Prince Georges
county commissioners have the
final say in coming changes.

The
Rambler
Salute to on Old
Cunnonmuker
By JACK JONAS

Commodore Perry, waiting
on Lake Erie to rout the Brit
ish feet. knew what he
wanted, and it wasn't a B-52
or an aircraft carrier.
He would have been amazed,
naturally. at the thought of
such advanced weapons, but
nothing would do for him
then but Henry Foxhall's can
non, turned out at the Colum-
bia Foundry.
The foundry, near today's
Foxhall road and Foundry
parkway, stood beside the
Potomac River a short dis
tance north of Georgetown
University, and Foxhall had a
good reputation, among the
military, as a man who knew
how to make cannon.
When the capital was moved
here in 1900, Thomas Jeffer-
son thought it would be a
good idea to have a munitions
factory close by.
He sent to Philadelphia for
Henry Foxhall, then in part
nership with Robert Morris
at the Eagle Iron Works. Fox
hall arrived armed with a
Government order for forty
24-pounders and thirty 81
Founders, and built his foun-
dry in 1901.
He began making the first
bored cannon to be manu-
featured in this country. In
addition to the cannon, he
made shot, shell and gun
carriages for the War and
Navy Departments.
He sold them by the ton
at $46.662s a ton.
He turned out 300 heavy
guns and 10000 shot a year.

HE AND JEFF.ERS SON,

HE AND RSON,
meantime, became ia st
friends. Both played the
violin, and they got together
occasionally for a duet.
When the War of 1872 came
around, Foxhall'S foundry was
of extreme Importance. 1t
was one of the few private
munitions foundrieS in the
country, the Government had
no foundry of its own, and
Foxhall's cannon were recog-
nized as superior.
When the British sacked
Washington in 1918 the foun-
dry undoubtedly was a target
for the troops bent on destroy
ing everything in the most
distant degree connected with
the Government"
The story is told that Fox
hall, lay minister in the
Methodist Church, vowed that
If God would spare his busi-
ness, he would build church.
A detachment of British
troops had been sent to
Georgetown with the purpose
of destroying the foundry. But
rumorS were persistent that
American troops which had
fled from BladenSburg were
returning full of fight.
On top of those rumorS came
a terrific wind and rain storm,
and that was enough to halt
the advancing troops. They
turned back to Washington.
