Arlington Sets
Terms for Rise
In Milk Price

Any milk price increase
granted Virginia dairymen be-
cause Of the drought should be
temporary. the Arlington Coun-
ty Board agreed yesterday.
The board. which has OPP
posed many past requests fol
milk price increases. took q
friendlier view of the pending
boost sought by milk producers
to Offset the price Of feed they
have had to buy because Of the
drought.
Although the board did moi
lend outright support to the
producers request. it recon-
mended to the Virginia State
Milk Commission that:
l. Any emergency increases
not be allowed to become per-
manent.
2. Any price increase order
should include a 9O-day termi.
nation date, with provision fol-
q 5000 day extension.
8. Other segments Of the milk
industry not be permitted to
adjust prices.
The County Public Utilities
Commission had asked the
board to make these recon-
mendations. The Milk Commits
sion will hold hearings on re-
quests for milk price adjust
ments starting September IL.
Northern Virginia producers
have asked that minimum
prices per quart go up from
22h cents to 2312 cents solely
because increased feed prices
have cut their income during
the summer drought.
The County Board said it is
aware Of the conditions, and
''is concerned that the produ-
GERS be able to buy the feed,
etc.. which will allow them to
provide an adequate supply Of
milk"

Court Hears Plea
On Pupil Forms

RICHMOND. Va. Aug. 81
(SpeciaD. - Lawyers for the
State and Fairfax County
school officials told the State
Supreme Court yesterday Mrs.
Theo T. DeFebio should be re-
required to sign Pupil Place
Iment Board forms before her
two sons are allowed to return
to school.
Answering an earlier motion
for temporary reinstatement Of
the boys, State and school
board lawyers argued that the
mother could sign the forms
under protest" without pref
udicing any of her rights to
challenge constitutionality Of
the placement act.
Mrs. DeFebio refused to take
that offer when it was made
last spring by the three-man
placement board.
Her attorneys asked the Su-
preme Court earlier this month
to order the boys. Nicky and
Teddy reinstated while litiea-
ton Is proceeding.
They say the boys are being
deprived Of their right to at
tend school this year and had
missed part Of last years term.
The States answer to that
motion emphasizes that the
placement board has hereto
fore accepted and processed
hundreds Of applications filed
under protest and without
prejudice to the legal rights
of the applicants and is con-
tinuing to accept and process
such applications"

LARGER BYRD STADIUM
U. Of Maryland Plans
For Royal Visitation

Stadium to take care Of the
expected avalanche Of football
fans who want a glimpse Of the
Queen.
We're going TO expand the
seating capacity from $4,000
to about 10000" says Robert
j. Mccartney, director of uni
versity relations. Most Of the
extra seats will be in new
stands in the end zones.
To Build Royal Box
ALSO, well build Q box at the
50-yard line for the royal party
about 50 persons. That win
be flanked by four more boxes.
two on each side, for other
distinguished guests. These
will accommodate about 100
persons"
The royal box wiz be draped
with appropriate bunting. and
the flags of the British Com
monwealth nations will be
placed around the field and
outside the stadium.
Mos Of the construction won't
begin until the week of the
game, with one possible excep-
ton. With an unprecedented
number Of newsmen and pho
tographers expected, including
all the major radio and televi-
sion networks, the press box
will have to be enlarged. If the
university decides to add a
permanent second deck to the
box instead Of a temporary one,
construction will get under way
this month.
The White House announce
ment Of the Queens visit set
of a barrage Of calls to the
university from various groups
requesting q chance to par ade
before Her Majesty at half
time. After sitting through
these, officials decided to say
mo" to them all. Instead, the
bands Of the two universities
will strut their stuff as usual.
/
To Be Typical
I've decided the Queen would
rather see what a typical half
time performance looks like
instead of something rugged for
the OCCASION" Mr.. Mccartney
explains.
Visitors to the royal box be-
fore the game will include Gov
McKeldin and Gov. Luther H
Hodges of North Carolina; Will
son H. Elkins. president Of the
University of Maryland, and
William c. Friday, president OF
the University Of North Caro-
lima, and the cocaptains of the
two teams-Gene Alderton and
Jack Healy of Maryland and
Dave Reed and Buddy Payne OF
North Carolina.
I'VE have a rainy day plan
several in fact" Mr.. Mozart
it's already raining before the
game begins. we can accommo-
date the royal party in the
presidents are Of the press box.
To Have Extra Policemen
If 1t starts to rain after the
game begins we'll probably
have a transparent plastic
cover for the royal box. That
way, it won't obstruct too
much Of the view for the people
behind.

ton Of Brandon Junior High
School as a potential per-
manent home for the new

Acting on a motion by men,
Der Ralph Raul. the board de-
cided to ask school officials
whether the Brandon facilities,
at $500 Shirley highway, will be
available for another use within
a year or two. Brandon has
been mentioned several times
during the long search for q
site.
II the school becomes avail
able, the board voted to con-
slider offering 1t to the uni
versity.
Mr.. Kaul told fellow board
members:
II understand that Brandon
may be surplus to new school
needs in the county soon. and
1t would make an ideal site for
the university branch"
Other board members quickly
Joined in boosting the site.
The university's Northern
Virginia branch will open in
temporary quarters this fall
with classes in the old Bailey's
Crossroads Elementary School.
The search for q permanent
location is continuing.
Looking toward expansion Of
the facility. Mr.. Raul said:
Within 10 years we're going
to have a university here with
enrolment somewhere between
5000 and 10000. In time this
will be one Of the leading in
stitutions Of higher learning
not only in this section but
throughout the United States. "

Board Members Ralph Raul
and Mr.. Krupsaw objected to
the increase. It was proposed
by Mrs. Leone B. Buckholz,
who said she had received q
number Of complaints about
the welfare board from her
constituents.
DR.. L. H. Blevins agreed,
declaring.
I've had complaints too.
We're one Of the richest coun-
ties in the State. but are pay
ing two and one-half times

Budget Factor Stressed
Mr.. Raul nominated Mr..
TubbS, after saying that II the
group were increased, someone
familiar with budget work
should be added. mot Just some
nice person interested in well
fare"
Mrs. Ihle was proposed by
Mrs. Buchholz.
The County Board also
agreed to meet with the Board
Of Equalization. which has
asked for $2.70O over its cur
rent ALLEGATION to cover the
cost of extended work this
year.
The equalization board
which recently tried unsuccess-
fully to grant q tax reduction
to apartment-houSe owners,
said it has worked 80 days

tate assessment adjustments.

Cooper agreed with Mr.. Krup-
saw and said he already had
written to Arlington ministers,
asking If they believed citizens

had not received any replies.
Mr.. Krupsaw said the Cen
eral Assembly passed q law in
1854 permitting the county to
make the change. But Com
monwealth's Attorney William

idea along with other sug-
gestions. preparatory to recon-
mending legislation for the next

Under present law. one board

Anchorage 0ui-Guns Palmer For 39-6 Victory
By Mickey Leek

The Anchorage Orange team showed it's predominence in Western Alaska football once again when they defeated a scrappy Palmer team 39 to 6 last Friday. The Orange team is un- defeated so far with a win over the Black team as well as Pal mer.
 The Friday football game in Palmer was highlighted by the aggressive running and bone crushing tackles of Anchorage's Jerry Jarvis. But Palmer was not to be out done; Roy Felix turned in a good game on defense as well as offense and Bill Smith ran for two dazzling 50-yard sprints.
 The first quarter opened with Anchorage kicking off to Palmer. Russ McKechnie of Palmer was injured on the fourth play of the game. Jarvis scored the first An ohorage touchdown on center plunge. The try for the extra UOlINL WdS lilISoC0. 11IlNllO4 oS5C scored again in this quarter while Palmer could use the ball to no avail.
 Jarvis scored again for Anch- orage at the start of thee second quarter. It was in this quarter that Bill Smith made one of the spectacular runs to put the Pal mer ball on the 18-yard line A 15-yard penalty on Anchorage moved the ball down to the three-yard line and Roy Felix pushed over for the score making it 19 to 6.
 In the third quarter Anchorage again scored with two quick touchdowns, one by Jarvis and the other on a pass play. Pal mer's Smith again got his hands on the ball and made his second 50-yard run of the day to put the ball on the five-yard line

 The final quarter saw Anch- orage quarterback Elnore score the only points made in the quar- ter ending the game at 39 to 6.
 Another game is slated for to- morrow at Palmer when the Pal mer Moose meet Anchorage's Black team. Weather permitting the Orange team will take on Palmer for another game next week.
