Executive branch to spend

that the administrators Pen

call for vastly increased powers
for the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and the Secre-
tary of Defense. These powers
would include giving the latter
wide authority to apportion
money among the armed forces.
IF the President does indeed
send up such proposals, I pre-

was told yesterday that Mrs.
Helen Lane, a school board
member, used ink eradicator to
tamper with her sons school
report card. "
The statement by Lindsey
r. Harmon, president of the
Williamsburg Junior High
School Parent Teacher ASsoci-
alton, set off a bitter exchange
among board members and the
Commemorative Attorney.
Reached at her home and
asked to comment, Mrs. Lane
said she not only removed a
statement by a mathematics
teacher-flrst taking a picture
of it-but added a comment Of
her own on the report card.
The board decided to conduct
a hearing on the matter at 8
pm. Wednesday at the court
house. School authorities, in

other person having informa-
ton on the matter were in
vited.
Mrs. Lane Resents Comment
Mrs. Lane said the teachers
Comment was misleading" and
that this type of personality
remark" has no place on a
permanent school record.
Mrs. Lane charged that the
permanent file, while secret to
parents, has been revealed to
other persons.
The written remarks on the
report card had no bearing on
her sons mathematics grade,
which was a B-plus, she said
The school board member

responsible" She said she well

Mr.. Duane made the comment
in connection with an explana-
ton Of past efforts - which
failed-to get a "fair and rea-
sonable picture" of the contro-

He stressed he was speaking
entirely as an individual in re-

on behalf of the Washington
chapter. which opposed the ex-
tension in 1856.

Mr.. Duane said efforts to
pursue "a reasonable course"
were made on three occasions
by the ALA National Capital

convention actions opposing the
East front extension in 1855
and 1856. Mr.. Duane became

Mr.. Raul said it was the duty
Of the County Board to protect

the board hires. Mrs. Lane was
appointed by a conservatively

the Soviet Union will announce
Monday it is hating nuclear

ton to the United States carry

Warning Given by U. S.
The United States, in a note
dated February II, notified the
Soviet Union and other nations
Of the establishment of a dan
ger zone in the Pacific Ocean
in the area of the Marshall
Islands.
The United States note said
the area would become a dan
ger zone May 8 in connection
with nuclear weapons tests.
The Soviet protest charged
that the United States is turn
ing the Marshall Islands area
land a considerable expanse Of
the high seas adjoining these
islands into a permanent Amer
lean range for experimenting
with nuclear weapons"
These actions constitute "a
violation of undertakings which
the United States took upon
itself under the United Nations
Charter with regard to trus-
teeship territories as well az
of generally recognized prin-
cipleS of International law re-
lating to freedom of the high
seas" the note said.
RadiOactivity Stressed
The Russians commended that
testing nuclear weapons in the
Pacific subjects to serious
danger the life and health Of
people living not only on
islands within the area pro-
claimed dangerous but also far
beyond its limits" Radioac-
tivity results in a heavy loss

note so that it might appeal

Japan has waged a diplomatic
campaign against recent Soviet

The note also seemed to add
substance to reports that the
