Eisenhower
Indifferent,

Star Stan Correspondent

IN PENNSYLVANIA WITH
STEVENSON, Oct. 3.-Adlai Ste
venson charged today that Presi-
dent Eisenhower does not always
know or care what goes on in
Congress. This was the latest
indication that the 1856 presi-
dental campaign has passed
from the kid glove to the slug
ging stage.
Mr.. Stevenson cited a press
conference statement by the
President shortly after Congress
adjourned to support his claim
that Mr.. Eisenhower did not
know why his bill to aid de-
pressed areas failed.
In a speech prepared for de-
livery at Wilkes Barre. Mr.. Ste
venson accused the administra-
ton of refusing to let the House
take up even its own depressed
area bill on the last day of the
session, after the Senate had
passed Democratic plan.
When he delivered the Wilkes
Barre speech, Mr.. Stevenson
softened his prepared text on
the depressed-area bill by saying
the President "has not been we'll
informed" on what goes on in his
Government. In the prepared
text he said has not known
what was going on"
KNITTED in the Back"
/ In an area where the decline
in use Of coal has affected jobs
and business, Mr.. Stevenson said
| in his prepared speech:
And so. my friends, that is the
way the bill died-knifed in the
back by the Republican adj
ministration.
Then the story has sequel,
which is perhaps the most re-
vealing part of all. The week
after Congress adjourned, the
President had a press conference.
A reporter asked why the Re-
publicans had refused to back
the legislation.
1.-THE President answered as
follows-'You are telling me
something now that I didn't
know. AS a matter of fact, it
| is one piece Of legislation l was
disappointed was not passed, and
l don't know the reason lying
behind it,"
who's in Charger"
rs it any wonder" Mr.. Ste
venson continued, I'VE ask who il
in charge here? Unfortunately.
this failure Of leadership on the
Representatives, bill is not unique.
In other vital matters as we'll,
1T has appeared that the Presi-
dent has not known or has not
cared what was going on. This
may well have cost us the school

for the sake of our children"

Hits Hard in Jersey
Mr.. Stevenson said today the
Presidents lack Of knowledge Of
what is going on may explain
the Dixon Yates contract and
why the administration waited
four years before bringing out
a program for small business.

dents motives" said the candi-

results. The results are what

THE experience with inte-

loudly to the low depth to which
politicians stopped in their
quest for Negro votes.
1.-The proponents Of Indignation
are more interested in social
equality than in the education
of the children. Instead of be-
ing a model of indignation,
Washington is a model of how
to destroy the educational
achievement Of the white stu
dents.
From a moral. social and ed

is thousands of miles from
reaching the level of the whites.

Washington, sometimes called

Mann Rates
Sales Tax as
Last Resort

Opposition to a State sales tax
and the proposed Incorporation
of Arlington County was ex-
pressed last night by Harrison
Mann. Arlington member of the
Virginia House of Delegates.
Mr.. Mann told the South Ar
lington Business and Profess
sional Association that a sales
tax should be the last resort to
meet the needs for State and
local services.
He said he favored a with
holding tax on incomes to catch
those whose taxes are escaping
their fair share of the cost of
running the State"
Mr.. Mann said every sales tax
bill before the Legislature had as
its objective the collection of
sales taxes in the urban areas
and their distribution in other
parts Of the State.
If and when a sales tax
comes" Mr.. Mann declared, IAN
equitable share of those taxes
should remain in the locality"
Under an incorporation plan
Mr.. Mann said. Arlington would
lose about three-quarters of a
million dollars in State funds
one-fourth the cost of mainte-
nance on primary highways and
all new State construction. Such
losses, he said. would have to be
made up by increasing Local
taxes

.Prefab Rooms
In High Schools

The Fairfax County School
Board has approved a contract
for 16 prefabricated classrooms
at high schools. but the rooms
will not be finished in time to
prevent curtailment Of the edu-
cational program at Annandale
High School this fall.
The $215,277 contract was
awarded last night to Kennedy
Electric Co. of Washington.
Eleven classrooms will be built
.at Annandale High and five at
Mclean High. The contract
calls for completion by Deem
Der is.
Each Of. the aluminum-walled
rooms will accommodate 80 pu-
lpils. These will be the first pre-
fabricated classrooms to be built
in the county.
School OvercrOwded
This is one Of the steps the
school board has taken to meet
"a rapidly expanding school popu-
llation. School officials said
Annandale High will be so
Iovercrowded in September that
classes will have to be set up in
the auditorium. This means that
all physical education activities
will have to be eliminated until
the new rooms are ready, Off
Gals said.
Supt. w. T. Woodson said an
alternative would be to shift An

old Bailey School, a proposal
which the board has turned
down. The old school has been
reported structurally sound, but
has not been used for several
years.

Ity school system held it's first
meeting after the school board
session.
q System to Be Studied
The committee will study the
ACCESSIBILITY Of retaining the
county's present system of seven
elementary grades of five high
school grades, or shifting to a
junior high school system with
six elementary grades and three
years of senior high.
DR.. Clyde w. Gleason, board
member and chairman of the
committee. said his group dis
cuSsed criteria for the study.
These include the values to the
children. costs. internal changes
necessary in the present system
and the views of parents and
teachers.
He said the committee hopes
to complete its study in about
six months so that it can pre-
sent recommendations before
contracts are considered next
spring for three new high
schools.

Effect of COlors Cited
John w. Mcleod, an architect
whose firm has designed some
100 schools in the Metropolitan
Area, declared that the color in a
school building should be used
to create an atmosphere"
He said that although it is
generally agreed that color does
have an effect on emotions. there
is mot enough scientific EVIL
dence" on the exact process.
The question of color designs
in schools recently has been
heatedly debated in Montgomery
County. where a $50 a day color
consultant was employed by the
school administration last fall to
plan color schedules for new
schools and additions.
The project was criticized by
teachers and school officials who
objected to the color itself and
to the fact that the consultant,
DR.. Mildred M. Lands. was also
assigned as principal of the
Wood Acres Elementary School.
DR.. Lands Supported
The comments by Mr.. Mcleod
tended to support DR.. lands
theory that school interiors in
the past were drab and de-
pressing.
He said that a school archi-
tect, in some cases, should select
the colors, and that in jurisdic-
tons where there are many
schools a member Of the school
staff may, act as a color CO.
ordinator.
The architect stated that a
recent Johns Hopkins University
survey indicates that pupils lin
