Youth Shoots
Self in Head
And Lives

A 17-year-old Arlington boy
accidently' shot himself in the
head last night while showing
of in front of his girl friend
and lived.
The bullet from a 80 caliber
revolver pierced the boys right
ear. travelled upward beneath
the skin for about 2 inches and
then veered out without enter
ing the skull.
According to police, the youth
had the revolver with him when
he stopped by his girl friends
house last night.
During the visit the boy
pulled the revolver and, after
asking the girl if she thought
the gun was real, squinted
through the chamber.
According to Juvenile Squad
Detective Andrew Cullins, the
boy saw only one bullet and,
from its position. decided he
could pull the trigger without
firing the gun. The detective
said the youth said later that he
erred in thinking that the
chamber would move clockwise
when the trigger was pulled.
The boy was taken to Arling-
ton Hospital where he is being
treated for the gunshot wound.
He is in good condition.

Drive Launched
Asks 'StockpiIine'
OF LocuI Services

President Eisenhower called
on the American people last
night to build high community
stockpiles" of services tc
strengthen and protect life in
time Of emergency by support
ing the United Givers Fund
campaigns.
In the Washington area,
more than 10000 volunteers in
the Residential Unit will start
their door-to-door campaign
tomorrow. The United Givers
Fund drive here seeks 81 mil
lion for support of l4O health
and welfare agencies in the
area.
The President said:
Fellow AmericanS-For Just
q minute / would like to visit
with you about something very
important to every one Of US,
Let's call tt-stockpiling.
II don't mean the Nations
Stockpile of minerals or food.
I mean the ones most of
us have in our home towns
our stockpile Of services to
strengthen and protect life in
time Of emergency.
Locally. your stockpile may
be known as the United Fund,
or the Community Chest.
Whatever its name, we must
build it together. And-here's
the main point-we have to
refill 1t each year.
That is why we are once
again launching United Com
munity Campaigns throughout
our own country and Canada
as well. This is the largest APP
peal of this kind asked Of us,
and it is the most far-reaching
in people helped and good ac-
complished.
Your community. as all
others, has set its goal. All
together, these goals add up
TO $500 million. That money
will be our stockpile to help
bring health and healing to
the sick-to help troubled
families-to offer new hope to
the crippled and handicapped.
1t will help give guidance to
youth-comfort the aged-and
help hold high the spiritual
level OF every community.
And we. need to remember
this:
your local community serv-
ices include not only such fine
efforts as the Boy and Girl
Scouts, but the more than 1000
united campaigns this year also
include the American Red
Cross, the USO. and the many
national groups waging the

in Alexandria.
The headstones are part Of
the atmosphere the Fundamen-
talist minister is attempting to
create for the church's first
services at IL am. Sunday.
I'VE wanted to build a mod
ern church with a country
atmosphere in an effort to
bring back to the American
people the warmth and SIM
plicity Of the little country
church Of 100 years ago." he
said.
Another "old timey" touch
will be q 100-year-old bell that
will ring out from the brick
church's belfry at the start Of
each service.
But the building has some
strictly streamlined features.
There is air conditioning
throughout the $4,000 struc-
tuTe, and the minister has had
equipment installed for tele-
vision, too. The dedication

major cities are in the same
general financial boat.
To help balance this boat
the Northrop unit has sug.
gested that any new State aic
to schools be in the form Of
direct grants and not dis.
tributed under the present
formula.
Formula Not Equitable
The formula provides thai
counties with low property tal
bases receive a greater share
Of State aid. proportionately
than counties with higher
bases.
Since counties assess property
at broadly different rates. the
formula is not equitable. Mr.
Northrop said.
1--WE are not proposing, how.
ever, that the funds now dis.
tributed under this formula bC
changed" he declared. but w
are suggesting that any new
funds be sent through Other
channels.
I'VE also are suggesting that
all assessors be put under direct
State control. That way. the
rates Of assessment would bt
uniform. and the system Of dis
tributing aid to schools would
be really eQualized."
