member in point of service, hav-
ing served since 1949, said he is
not a candidate "as of right
now" Barrow added he believes
the school board should have
some fresh blood" He feels he
has served long enough.
Only one other board member,
Mrs. Helen G. Scfarf, who has
served on the board since 1858,
responded with a flat, unquali-
fled answer: yes! / will rum"

Mrs. Rose G. Kramer, elected
to the board in 1854, hedged but
said, II am seriously considering
running for reelection. In the
last few months, several projects
have been initiated by the board
which / believe can be of tre-
mendous significance in strength
ening Montgomery schools. am
most concerned that such valu-
able progress continue to receive
board support"
Willard McGraw, member from
the second district stated simply
that he was undecided at this
point"
LathrOp IL. Smith, board presi-
dent for the past two years, was
elected from the third district but
moved this year into McGraw's
district. Stating that under no
circumstances would / oppose
McGraw," Smith would not say
now whether he would run.
Harrison King, from the first
district, was also undecided but

NAACPHits
of
Integration

The Montgomery County
Chapter of the National As
ISOLATION for the Advance
ment of Colored People this
week charged the School
Board and the County Coun-
Gil with trying to preserve
segregation in county schools.
Alphonso Lee, president of the
local chapter, said the school
board had created artificial
school shortages" and then used
those shortages against the
Negro student.
1.-THE school board-and par
ticularly Harrison King = are
catering to the prejudices Of
upper-county residents" Lee
charged.
Lee also asserted that the
school board gives first priority
to enrolling white children, allow
ing Negroes to enter "after the
schools are nearly filled up"
Lees statements were made
Monday, prior to a meeting of
the Montgomery County Council
of Parent Teacher Associations
which was to consider the con-
version of Carver, an all-Negro
High School into an integrated
junior high school.
He demanded complete desegre-
cation of county schools by
September.
This year. $50 of the total of
3035 Negro students in the coun-
ty. or about one third, were en-
rolled in integrated schools.
Approximately 1900 Negro stu
dents will 60 to migrated coun-
ty schools next September, a
school official forecast this week.
The figures represent an in
crease of 331 Negro students in
the county's 48 desegregated
schools.
This year, CAT Negro children
attended integrated primary
schools and 312 attended inte-
grated secondary schools.
When Montgomery county in
itiated its school Indignation pro.
gram in the 1856 school year.
a total of 400 Negro secondary
and primary students went into
formerly all-white schools.
On April 20 this year. the
school board mailed letters TO
parents of each Negro student,
advising them of the boards in.
tegration plans for the 1889
Indignation plan.
The letter told parents of the
boards decision to transfer Ne
gro students to various schools
as the space becomes available.
Similar letters were mailed by
the board May ) to parents
whose children had received rec
concentrations for transfer TO
specific schools.

Big Parade

Dozens of Units

cite, left at Middle Lane and
right to the Rockville Shopping

The usual number of lost kids
and kids too full of cherry pop,
candy, popcorn, ice cream and

that inevitable dog which always
is on hand to foul up the march
ing units.
Grand Marshall of the gala
affair will be Burgermeister
Herman GEssman, mayor of
Rockville SISTER City" PINE
berg, Germany.
Mr.. Glissman flew to America

Will Nan Survive?

star Tv Critic

Not that there's any law against 1t, but
TV filmed shows rarely undergo substantial
change for at least a season or two. II they
stay on that long, that is.
Broken Arrow, for example, heads for its
first important change next season when scout
John Lupton is to be dropped
"They felt there would be more dramatic
contrast If the episodes involved different scouts
instead of one" Mike (Cochise) Ansara ex-
planned on his recent visit to Washington. It's
obvious that Cochise will be running into less
reliable scouts in the future.
The series that probably holds the Tv record
for swift changes, however, is MICS The Cali
fornians Tuesdays, 10 pm, WRC-4), which
seems to have shifted completely in midstream
in its first season
And at this writing, even the future Of
our cover GIRL Nan Leslie (who plays Mrs
Martha McGivern) is in doubt.
What happened?
The Californians started out last fall with
Adam Kennedy in the lead and things seemed
to be well in hand. Adam, with the aid of
Martha's husband (head of the Vigilantes),
seemed to be having no end Of success in bring

Then Adam asked out of the series and
the problems commenced. Richard Coogan was
hired and a new slant was required. With
Maverick taking off successfully on ABC on
Sundays, the enew" slant wasn't hard to find
Coogan was cast as gambling man who backs
reluctantly into the job of sheriff and does
good job. Carey wilbur, writer who can turn
out this kind of scripts wholesale. and does

Railroads Asking
For Freight Rate
Hikes February

COLUMBUS, Q. - LP1 - Rail-
roads hauling freight in Ohio have
asked the Utilities Commission for
a rate increase. The amount of the
request was not contained in the
application.
The railroads, which last fall
won a freight rate increase, want
the higher tariffs to go into effect
Feb. l. They are asking the same
increase they asked recently of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
The new increase, the railroads
said, would take care of increased
expenses that were not considered
by the commission and the ICC in
granting the last increase.
The ICC on Dec. % granted the
railroads permission to file higher
tariffs with an effective date of
Feb. 1, subject to suspension and
investigation.
The railroads petition said the
railroads, as a whole, are in their
most critical financial situation
since the depression of the 1930s.
1t cited wages and payroll tax in
creases of 1857 and rising material
costs.
To meet rising costs, the petition
said, railroads have cut mainten-
ance programs, laid off employees
and reduced or omitted dividends
to stockholders.

Drop Thriller
Tuesday Eve To
Southeasterners

London High Schools Red Raid
ers have one of the toughest games
of the season staring them in the
face Friday night right on the
heels of their first defeat since be-
fore the Christmas Holidays. They
are scheduled to meet Marysville
at Marysville Friday night. The
Raiders lost their Tuesday night
game to Southeastern by a skim
of-tne-teeth one point margin.
The Raiders had outscored the
Southeasterners in two periods and
tied the final period getting caught
with narrow lead just before the
end of the game. Lady luck smiled
on Southeastern, and they managed
to pull one out of the hat. 1t was
London's fourth loss of the season,
leaving them still undefeated in the
Mid Six League. They have won
six games.
Actually, the free throw accu-
racy for London was well below
average Tuesday evening as they
managed to hit only 8 of 19 tries.
From the floor the Raiders picked
up "a of SO tries. Meade and Ar
rick were both off their usual
scoring figure, and Tumblison had
missed practice because of foot
injury. Garrison was one of the
starters for the first time this year.
Southeastern hit IL of 26 free
shots, giving them the game ad-
vantage.)
When the Raiders hit Marysville
Friday night they may very well
face the toughest game of their cur
rent schedule, and it will mark the
halfway point in Mid Six play for
the Raiders. So far Marysville is
the only team London has not play
ed, and London is the only unde-
feated team in the Mid Six League.
With Fox and Burson out to
star for the Marysville squad, Lon
don's players are beginning to
realize that this is not the time for
over confidence They know that
every play must count for or
against London.
