A new Arlington school con-
Istruction bond program will be
prepared for the School Board
tomorrow night by a citizens
council.
School officials refused yester-
day to name council members or
discuss progress made in previous
informal sessions.
A report may be released this
week and council members might
identify themselves then. school
officials added. One board mem
Der said some information could
be expected Tuesday.
The board authorized its
chairman, E. r. Draheim. to ap-
point council members last
month at the suggestion of
School Supt. T. Edward Rutter
The action was designed to pave
the way for a new bond ref
Ierendum in view of the defeat
which voters handed a S9.4 mil
lion referendum last February.
The fear of political implica-
tons was reported to have
prompted the citizens group to
ward of any publicity on their
organization and initial ideas.
1t was learned later that the
persons who have already worked
on the matter or who are men,
.bers of the council include
Kingsley Higgins, Mrs. Vernon
'Weihe, DR.. l.. H. Blevins, and
B. Roy Dudley.
About II or IA persons met
with several school officials and
named three persons to invite a
group of 25 or 80 residents to
tomorrow's meeting. The group
includes representatives of school
and business interests.
At yesterdays School Board
meeting in the Gusts School,
members heard parents of chill

hot water in the building.
One Wilson parent said that
the school has been lacking hot

needed hot water for 80 years,

Virginia Attorney General j..
Lindsay Almond, jr.. predicted
yesterday the chief legal officers
of Southern States will join an
Oregon protest against a United
States Supreme Court decision
on the regulation of non-navi-
gable streams.
Mr.. Almond said he would sup
port the resolution he received
from Oregon Attorney General
Robert Y. Thornton. He was con-
fident it would gain the support
of attorneys general throughout
the South and other sections of
the country.
Mr.. Thornton plans to offer
his resolution at the annual
meeting of the National Associa-
ton of Attorneys General in
Phoenix. AriZ., May 1924. Mr..
almond heads the Southern
regional group OF the ASSOCIATION.
Mr.. Almond said the concern
lof Oregon and far Western
States over water rights and
power sites is directly compare
bile to the South's concern over
racial segregation.
He said he had asked the Vir-
ginia Department of Conserva-
ton and Development to help
him explore the applicability to
Virginia waterways of the Su-
Ipreme Court decision.
The Thornton resolution says
Congress specified. by the Desert
Land Act of 1877, that non

the public domain are subject
to the primary control of the

Gated.
