Measure Criticized
Arlington's State Senator
Charles r, Fenwick and Delegate
Harrison Mann have introduced
legislation transferring pupil as
signment power from school
officials to a three-member
board appointed by the Cover
nor. The measure drew criticism
Thursday from the Arlington
School Board.
Mrs. Buchholz proposed a re-
solution to thank the State Sem
ate for passing legislation per-
hitting the names of DR.. L. H
Blevins and Curtis Tuthill.
County Board candidates, to be
printed on voting machines in
November. Her motion further
asked the House of Delegates to
approve the measure, and for the
Governor to sign it. Mr.. Krup-
saw seconded the motion.
Commenting on this and the
school resolution, Mr.. Cooper

wanted for these purposes is SO.
Comments Guarded
City officials so far are being
rather guarded in their COM
ments on the school proposals.
Budgeting officers have told
school leaders they penciled out
the claSS-size reduction plan be-
cause the Commissioners had
not committed themselves on it..
Officially, they have referred
questions about the further dis
position of the matter to the city
heads themselves.
Informal inquiries yesterday,
however. indicated that a more
sympathetic attitude has devel-
oped recently. Certain key Off
Gals. it appears. have been hav-
ing second thoughts about last
years refusal to be committed
to major teacher-expansion
plans.
Strong public pressure. spear
headed by parent-teacher asso-
Citations and other groups. has
been having its effect on official
thinking. Some top administra-
tors apparently are becoming
convinced that the school-im-
Iprovement proposals of the
school board represent signifi-
cant public sentiment, and that
the proposals must eventually
be agreed to, at least to some
substantial extent.
Whether the Commissioners
actually will be guided by this
new viewpoint on the pending
budget, however, has not YET
been indicated. Their decision
is expected to be Influenced i'm
portantly by the kind of case
school officials present or
Wednesday.
Plan to Press Case

yesterday that they are deter
mined to press their case firmly

Interpretation Given
Police, net knowing all was in

agents they might get arrested.
Debate flourished around the
courthouse. Assistant U Unite d
States Attorneys wondered if
they would have to defend the
deputy marshals or perhaps the
resident managers of the Ma
tional Capital Housing Authority

Deputy marshals observed that
marshals and sheriffs had been

tory, was why the Boston
Common was called that.
Mr.. King came back from his
vacation Friday and attended a

Norman, has a perfect right to

property, he would be subject to
