Holy Cross Wants Top Jet
Pilot
Defense Dept. officials dis
closed that Holy Cross heads
have urged them to name
Major Daniel (Chappie) James
top colored pilot, to their fac
ulty as a military science in
Structor. If this materializes
he will become a first" to be
assigned to a white institu-
ton. At present he is assigned
to tht Air Command and staff
at Maxwell Air Base, Ala,
James is a very large man,
GA weighing 230 lbs, a vet
eran of 101 Korean missions
holder of the Distinguished
Flying Cross. At ont time he
was the only colored pilot COM
manding an all-white squad
ron. He also flew unarmed
photo-reconnaisance planes
behind Communist lines In
Korea.
I understand that one of Ho-
~ Cross first graduates was a
colored man named Healey
who went on to become a bis
hop and outstanding in his
religious work.

The Boston Celtics are get
ting a little rougher on the
basketball court these days
and are refusing to be pushed
around. I guess they are tired
of turning the other cheek
something that they have been
doing all season long. The very
polite "Bill" Russell is hitting
beck, and asking for more
quite unusual for Russell. His
few brawlS lately have sur
prised even his most avid root
ers and they are observing
with raised eyebrows Well, he
at least chose some one his
size in the seven foot Ray
Felix of the Nickerbockers to
do battle. It is my understand
ing that he hurt Felix more
than was published in the pa
pers. This is something that
we can do without. If we want
to see a fight, there are plenty
OF boxing arenas in this
town. I attribute this pugna-
cious attitude of the Celtics
to their tremendous desire to
win the title for the first
time and think that they
viii go all out to win each
game, until they have clinched
the championship of both div
isions.

Civic Federation
Backs Budgets
For Arlington

The Arlington County Civic
Federation last night gave al
most solid support to the pro-
posed school and county budgets
for 1888.
The federation delegates ap-
proved without change the school
boards program. which calls for
S7.459. sol from local funds. With
minor notifications, including a
request for another library, the
group backed the $15.6 million
county budget.
Members Of the federation's
Schools and Revenues and Ex-
penditures Committees were di-
rected to present the resolutions
at the county boards budget
hearing Thursday.
The group voted to add about
$4,000 to the budget to help
build another branch library.
The federation noted that the
library department. having the
worst physical plant in the coun-
ty government" needs new facil-
tiles because it Is "overburdened
to the point where (it) can pro-
vide little more service despite
the increasing demand"
To retain or reduce the current
property tax rate and balance
the library budget increase. the
delegates voted to provide a
realistic" allowance for salary
savings through personnel turn
over-higher salaried employees
to be replaced by lower-paid
beginners.
The delegates voted to elm
mate a $4,000 item from the
county budget. generally pro-
posed to cover cost-of Living
adjustments. unless the county
manager "a. T. Lundberg) can
come UP with q specific PLAN
The group approved the ST..
011,000 capital improvement
program in the proposed budget,
noting it would avoid high In
terest rates or improved bond
ratings.
Mr.. Lundberg's proposed
budget includes about 500 mil
lion from current revenue. The
school boards proposals total
about 500 million for operating
expenses and $350,000 for capt.
tai improvements.
The delegates. observing that
the school building program is
one year behind with interest
rates increased, recommended
that the county board approve
the school boards proposed 90
cent tax rate for each 500 as
sessed valuation Of real and per-
sonal property.
The group backed the proposed
teachers pay raise because ar
lington schools cannot afford to
have its quality or quantity OF
Institutional staff reduced" They
noted that more teachers are
needed to handle $50 additional
students expected to enroll next
fan.
The resolutions objected to any
reduction in custodial or bus
services. The school cafeterias,
the delegates commended. should
continue to operate under the
school system.
