Board members did not touch
on another question raised by
Mr.. Rowzee-what consideration
has been given to the result the
bond issue would have on "seri-
ously impeding future county
capital improvements"
The County Board member had
stated that there would be only
about a 50 million leeway be-
tween the projected bonded debt
and Virginia's legal borrowing
limit for cities.
Called SMost Excessive.
This view was backed by the
Arlington Chamber OF Commerce
directors. who passed resolution
stating that the $9.4 million 1ig-
ure is most excessive"
The directors said they were
Fundamentally in favor of q
bond issue Of a reduced amount,
sufficient to meet the costs OF
the construction of such schools
as are needed for the immedi-
ate foreseeable future. ~
At yesterdays meeting, Mr.
Joy struck back at critics who
contend that the proposed bond
issue is larger than necessary.
Mr.. Joy said that at the
most" all but 50 million is needed
to prevent school children from
going on double shifts. The 81
million, he said, is urgently
needed for remodeling work and
for land acquisition for older
schools.
Enr0llments Forecast
School officials have stated
that their proposed construction
program is a must If school chill
dren are to be provided with
proper school space. They have
geared the program to meet
"foreseeable" classroom needs,
they say.
School planners estimate that
the county's classroom popula-
ton will reach a peak of 25.125
in l963-64. Today. enrolment
is about 81, 400.
If voters approve the refer
endum, it will mean a new senior
high school. a new junior high
school. SIS elementary classroom
additions, and a second unit for
another Junior high building. The
bond issue would also finance
remodeling work on old buildings
and land acquisition.

bers turned their attention to
some questions raised locally on
the financial impact that would

to a statement by County Board
Member George M. Rowzee, jr.
that the proposed program would
call for a 93-cent tax rate in

Newspaper Editors Are Of The Opinion US. Is Losing The Cold War

WASHINGTON, R - News paper editors registered a 2-1 opinion Saturday that the United States is losing the cold war
 But they also agreed over whelmingly, by nearly 6-1, that a hot war is less likely in the light of recent developments in Russian foreign policy and re- pudiation of Stalin.
 These views were shared to a less pronounced degree by guests from official and congressional quarters attending breakfast given by Sigma Delta Chi, pro fessional journalism fraternity, for the American Society of Newspaper Editors.
 Washington newsmen in the fraternity also were recorded as feeling a hot war is less likely but that the United States is los ing the cold war.
 The editors voted 68 f2 that World War III is less likely and 54-27 that the US is losing the cold war

Charles MacArthur, 60, Playwright, and Husband Of Helen Hayes, Dies

NEW YORK, R-Charles Mac Arthur, 50, playwright and movie writer and husband of Helen Hayes, the actress, died Saturday.
 He entered New York Hospital last Wednesday suffering from nephritis, kidney ailment, and severe anemia.
 The co author of the famous play, "The Front Page" a drama of the newspaper business, lapsed into unconsciousness shortly be- fore he died. Miss Hayes was with him at his death.
 MacArthur's collaborator on "The Front Page" was Ben Hecht. He and Hecht teamed to write the movie "The Scoundrel" for which they won a Hollywood Oscar.
 The late Alexander Woolcott, critic, author and raconteur, once said of MacArthur Everyone who knows him lights up when he hears his name and starts talking about him as if he was marvellous circus that once passed his way"
 Before MacArthu became known for his theatrical writings, he was a newspaperman in Chic ago and New York. From that ex- perience, came "The Front Page, . a rowdy drama of the newspaper business.

100 Reported Dead In Riots In Stalin's Home Town, Tiflis

TELLS, Soviet Georgia, tR - Reliable Georgian sources said today that up to 100 GeorgianS may have been killed when troops opened fire on surging pro- Stalin demonstrators who tried to seize the Tiflis post office last March g.
 The sources said the city was an armed camp for days after the rioting. Troops and tanks patrol led the streets and a midnight curfeW was clamped on.
 This telephoned dispatch from Tiflis was interrupted at this point apparently by censorship. Three western correspondents were per mitted to go to the Soviet Georg- ian capital on April IS, the first visit to the city by outside re- porters after riots were set off in Stalin's home state by the Soviet leadership's doWngrading of the dead dictator.
 The figure of up to 100 killed is the highest yet reported. Pre- vious reports from diplomatic sources said nine were believed +o have haep killed

in either league, he will not be
