School Budget
Cut in Fairfax

The Fairfax County Schoo,
Board yesterday cut between
100000 and 100000 from g
proposed $12.2 million budget fol
1861 by limiting teacher sal
AIRY increases to a maximum OF
$500 next year. The budget pro-
;posal had suggested an average
increase of $500.
The board adopted proposed
salary scale which would give
raises of $500 to 5000, but decided
Ito spread the pay rise over two
years.
The new scale, subject to final
faction after a public hearing
will run from $500 to $4,000
The present scale is $4,000 tc
$4,000.
New scales also were adopted
for principals and assistant prin-
:cipalS with the raises distributed
lover a two-year period.
Reduction Estimated
Robert Walker, director Of
school surveys and information
estimated the limit put on first
year increases would mean a re-
:duction in the administration
budget of a maximum of $500 =
1000.
Based on taxable property
values furnished by the county's
executive Office, the $12.2 mil
lion budget would require a rs
:cent increase in the tax rate
Yesterdays action would reduce
the needed rate increase to about
:65 cents.
Board members Hills Lory and
Theodore Heriot felt the $500
maximum raise was too high, but
went along with it to advertise
:the budget for a public hearing
I'm in favor of teachers get
:ting good salaries, but I don't
think the county can afford this
budget" Mr.. Lory said.
a: To Meet Again Tuesday
(: Chairman Robert F. Davis said
:the public would react unfavor-
:ably to giving teachers "too big
a Jump in one year. The ad-
:ministration proposal would have
increased teachers pay an aver
:age of S700.
Il hate to compromise on the
education of children" said
Board Member c. Turner
:Hudgins.
/: The $12.2 million figure is $2.7
million more than the 1886
school budget.
The board will meet again
Tuesday night for further dis
scussions. No date has been sci
for a hearing.

advertisements as appear in the
Jegro newspaper.
Naturally the Negro has hither-
to lived under such pressure that
re has not developed a definite
FACE pride; but it is currently de-
yeloping! Life for the Negro has
lithertoo been so depressed and
oppressed and suppressed and re-
reSSed and distressed that he has
sought ways to escape. But in
proportion as life becomes more
.olerable and in proportion as the
egro's struggle shifts from the
struggle for existence to the eco
nomic struggle, the Negro will
develop a substantial race pride
which will save him from the ne
essity of escaping via straight
ned hair and bleach skin and
passing" When things are more
olerable by reason of cultural
migration there will be no need

The struggle of the N e G is
not a struggle for biological in
egration but sociological and
economic indignation; and they
ire not the same. The current in
crest in Negro History is finger
pointing in the direction of a ris-
ng Negro pride that will avoid
he consuHnmation so devoutly
cared by Mr.. Siggins and so
many! The Negro will reach the
Promised Land--a Negro.

Votes "No" Once
Too Often, Vetoes
Own Seating

CHICAGO-(A N Ex-senator
Strom Thurmond of South Caro-
lima came to the Democratic Ma
tional convention last week dead
set to vote "no" against every
thing. :,
He finally wound up voting no"
so often that before he knew II,
he voted against his own accept
ance as a delegate.
1t happened when the creden-
tials committee recommended that
the official South Carolina dele
cation be seated instead of an
insurgent group.
While everyone else in the
South Carolina delegation heart
ily shouted "aye," Thurmond
jumped up, funbled around and
let out a loud "no."
Thurmond was the Dixiecrat
candidate for president in 1913.

DaWson-rolItlcIan
First Says Magazine

WASHINGTON-( A N p y
CONGRESSMAN William l.. Daw-
son (D-Ill.) was recently de-
scribed as being San old hand at
taking half a loaf"
"That Is the talent which has
made him a political power with
Negroes and whites alike" stated
newspaperman John Madigan.
In an article appearing in the
latest issue of The Reporter mag
azine, Madigan describes quite
extensively the political career OF
Dawson.
He referred to Dawson as "a
politician first and a Negro second.
Because he is go-getter-and
genuinely tries to help his race
without exploitation--he delivers
the votes in Chicago and is re-
elected with ease"
The article stated that "in Chi
cago. Dawson's home town, he is
accused of protecting gambling
and rackets, the newspapers
whack him regularly. So does the
Chicago Crime Commission. They
charge he is in with the Syndi-
cate the popular name for the
remnants of the old Capone mob"
Dawson'S reply to this charge
was that he doesn't read what
the papers say about him. He
SAYS his people know it isn't true
and he doesn't bother about it.
There is an entire different view
of Dawson in Washington, stated
the article. His asa colleagues in
the House of Representative are
pros in politics. They know that
the first rule is to win. Therefore,
House Majority Leader John W.
Mccormick thinks Dawson is one
of the best legislators and grand
est men he's ever met.
Mike Kerwin, chairman OF the
party's Congressional Campaign
Committee, is quoted as saying,
"Bil's word is better than. put
ting money in the bank"
SouthernerS respect him be-
cause he does not carry his race
on his sleeve.
Because of the seniority system
on Capitol Hill, Dawson became
the chairman of the powerful
House Committee on Government
Operations. AS an example of his
power on Capitol Hill, Dawson
succeeded in getting an appropria-
ton of $685., 900 for the operation
of his committee in l955-56, a
figure exceeded only by the House
Appropriations Committee itself.

CONWAY, Ark - CAMP - A

week into the distribution of BIZ
ased political literature bearing
the inscription Demands for In
.egration in the White Bedroom"
Deputy Prosecutor N. l.. Clark
laid that the political literature
oore no signature.
Clark said he sent to Prosecu-
tor Edward Gordon of Moorilton
information he had gathered on
the circulars, which were distri-
buted through the mail prior to
the July 81 primary election.
They were aimed at Gov. Faubus'
campaign for denomination.
Clark said the circulars were
purported to be transcript of a
speech made by an NAACP leader
in Mississippi in 1854.
The literature was in violation
of an Arkansas law which pro-
vides that any statement, COM

any, social security, in contrast
to those retiring after that date.
Under the pension plan min
listers retiring before June 80 will
receive $1,000 to $1,000 in 1857
and gradually go up to $500 by
1861.
Those retiring after June 30,
all of whom are eligible for
society security benefits, win re-

law enables ministers to enter

Lists Needs for Funds
DR.. Jensen told the gathering
