Arlington
School Aide
Leaving Post

Arlington school Board
member E. r. Draheim an
nounced yesterday that he ex-
poets to resign from the board
in December, a short time be-
fore his second term expires, to
accept an overseas job.
Mr.. Draheim is a personnel
executive in the Department
of Agriculture. He said he will
be on leave of absence for a
post in Korea in the public
administration field.
Mr.. Draheim's new assign
ment comes under the United
States aid program in Korea.
It is part of a cooperative
effort between the University
Of Minnesota and Seoul Ma
tional University.
The outgoing board member
explained that the University of
Minnesota holds a contract for
technical assistance services to
Korea.
At yesterdays board meeting.
Mr.. Draheim said he expected
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-11-17

to submit his resignation some
time between the last regular
board session in December and
the Christmas holiday. He is
one of the three liberal mem
bers on the board. His term
expires December 81. Mr., ORA
helm, 40. was chairman Of the
school board last year.
Presumably, an interim ap-
pointment will be needed to fill
out the last few days of the
term.
Unless an Arlington Circuit
Court ruling is reversed, the
present conservatively con-
trolled County Board--not the
1858 governing body which will
have a liberal majority-will
I'LL two School Board vacancies.
1t is likely that the person
named to fill Mr.. Draheim's
brief interim term will be re-
appointed for a full four-year
term beginning January /.
Robert A. Peck, who was APP
pointed earlier this year on an
interim basis. is expected to be
reappointed If the vacancies
are filled by the present County
Board.
This would mean that next
years School Board will have
a three-member conservative
majority.

Yorktown Hiqh
Bond Hearinq
SET for Dec. II
BY SAM EASTMAN

A public hearing on the need
for a bond issue to build York
town a high school, was called
yesterday by the Arlington
School Board.
The hearing, set for Deem
Der II, will cover a proposal
for a bond issue referendum
and will deal with the posi-
bility of keeping class rooms
open all year.
The boards three liberal
Observation-Disclosures James G..
Stockard. Barnard Joy and E.
r. Draheim-are on record for
a referendum of about $3.2 mil
lion. One of the two conserva-
tive members, Mrs. Helen Lane,
had said that the advisability
OF relieving overflow claSsrooms
by keeping school open all
year should be studied.
Vote for Hearing
Yesterday, the board voted
unanimously for a public hear
ing on both possible courses of
action The boards move was
made at the suggestion of Will
liam Lightsey, chairman of the
County Council of Parent
Teacher Associations.
Mr.. Lightsey said he hoped
that the council will make
available referendum petition
forms at its meeting tomorrow
night. He went on to say that
he would like to see the indi-
vidual parent-teacher groups
circulate the petitions for the
needed 1000 signatures.
If the necessary names are
obtained. approval by the
school board, but not the
county board, is needed to put
a referendum before the voters.
If the signed petitions are not
obtained, approval by both
boards is mandatory.
Funds for the proposed high
school in North Arlington were
earmarked in a sos million
referendum which was voted
down in February of last year.
Act to Be Tested
In a move relating to the
proposed bond issue, Arlington
is now taking steps for a court
ruling on the constitutionality
OF its freeholders act. This act
requires that no bond issue can
be passed without approval of
both a majority of the voters
and a majority of voting prop
erty owners.
In another matter yesterday,
the board was told that Mrs.
Elizabeth Campbell, a former
School Board member. should
be asked to back up a statement
that Arlington teachers are re-
signing in droves because of
harraSment by Mrs. Lane. The
demand came from one of the
county's ultra-conservative fig
ures. B. M. Miller.
Either Mrs. Campbell or Mrs.
Lane should be called to &C
count, depending upon the
facts, Mr.Miller said.
Promises Statistics
Robert Peck, a conservative
board member, asked that the
school administration provide
some information relating to
the matter. Assistant School
Supt. Charles Walsh. in charge
of personnel. said he would pro-
vide the board at its next meet
ing with recent statistics on the
rate in which teachers are leav-
ing. He added. however, that

since the recent events in Lit
tie Rock. Ark. the sicners set
forth the principles on which
I'VE propose to stand together
before the church and the
community"
The statement reads as fol-
lows:
We are living in a crucial
period of race relations in
America. Long standing and
deeply entrenched social Gus
toms are being changed and
strong passions are aroused,
Such vital issues as the pres
ervation Of our form of gov
eminent, the enforcement OF
law, the restraint Of mob vio-
lence, human brotherhood. in
ternational influence and re-
ligious integrity are at stake.
This is a time for clear
thinking about fundamental
principles and the exercise OF
self-restraint. We must stand
up for the spirit Of democracy
and speak out for justice and
humanity.
Preparedness Needed
Recent events have demon
strated the decisive influence
Of public opinion and the wis
dom of preparing for emergen-
cies which strain the human
resources Of a community.
There is always the possibility
that even in the most unlikely
places violence, hatred, and
discord may break out.
In a time of relative tran
guilty we can think the is
sues through without the con-
fusion and distraction of great
emotion. We can also share in
the creation of public opinion
which win uphold law and or
der. Neutrality and indifference
can be costly to a community's
reputation and human rela-
tions.
Our particular community
has an unusual civic respon-
sibility because Of its proximity
to our Nations Capitol. Thus
far. the nature of our problems
and the political maturity OF
our citizens have made our
initial adjustments relatively
easy. However, there are other
aspects Of the race issue which
may be more trying.
1t is also obvious that our
local conditions are intimately
connected with the general sit
uation which prevails through
out the country. If racial ten
sions become more serious in
the future we will be affected
by them to some extent.
Indictment Seen Possible
1t is conceivable that hate
literature could find a growing
market here. Local organiza-
tions might be formed to in
cite race hostility and resist
ance to the law. Special in
terests which are served by
race discrimination might ex-
plot their opportunity. The
pressures for conformity and
silence would grow. The social
restraints of hatred, hostility
fear and guilt would be weak
ened.
The existence Of these pos
sibilities should arouse in all
Of us a determination to create
and maintain a climate OF
public opinion which will mod
ify these forces and permit
constructive and lawful de-
cisions to be made. Conscien-
tious public officials who wish
to uphold the law should COM

mand the loyal support of the
community.
The Christian Church is
deeply involved in these is
sues because they are essenti-
ally moral and spiritual in
nature. They involve the value
and rights of individuals and
their relation to one another.
The Church is commissioned
by God to proclaim the law of
love and offer the gospel to
all men.
1t has been given the mes
sage and ministry of reconcil-
iation between God and men.
1t teaches that no man can
love God and hste his brother.
1t is the salt Of the earth and
the light of the world. We
must see to it that the salt
does not lose its SAVIOR and
that the light is not hidden
under a bushel.
We are painfully aware
that the Church in America
both in the past and even in
the present does not live up to
its own standards of conduct.
There is such a thing, how
ever, as a progressive revalua-
ton Of the meaning of the
gospel in human life.
We find it hard to under
stand how our forefathers
could reconcile human slavery
and Christianity. The day will
come when Christians in the
future will find it difficult to
understand how we could
justify racial discrimination
and segregation.
We are in the beginning of
a new era of spiritual obedi-
ence in the Church which will
make it more useful to society
and more worthy of its Lord.
Impelled to Speak
AS Christian ministers we
have judged it to be wise and
right for us to disclose our
views and offer them to the
Church and community for
their consideration. We are
moved by a spirit of penitence
and aware of the limitations
OF our social wisdom. Never
theless. we feel impelled to
speak and to exercise such in
f1uenc> as we may have in the
interest of the ministry of rec
onciliation and obedience to
law.
We speak only for ourselves
and are accepting our respon-
sibility by signing this state
ment. We propose to stand
together before the Church and
the community in support of
the following simple convic-
tons and purposes:
/. We believe the principle
lOf enforced racial segregation
is contradiction of our Chris
tian faith.
2. We commit ourselves to
uphold the enforcement of law
and order in the community.
3. We pledge ourselves to re-
sist any organization which
incites race prejudice and
undermines respect for law.
We sincerely hope these pro-
posalS will commend them
selves to the conscience and
Judgment of other citizens in
the community and the men,
bers OF our churches. We offer
our support to all men of good
will who seek reconciliation of
the races, impartial Justice and
obedience to law.
