decision was in direct conflict
with an earlier ruling by
another Arlington Circuit Court
Judge, Emery N. Hosmer.
Board members last night
noted that their attorney james

that the segregated seating law
is still on the books and that
they should comply with 1t.
The State Supreme Court has
not ruled on the validity Of the
statute.
Chairman James q. Stockard

school officials. Supt. T. Ed.
ward >Rutter fired Miss Sailer
after an interview in which she
admitted her past connection
with the Communist Party in
New York. The board last
night ratified Mr.. Rutter's ac-
ton.
One person among more
than 200 who attended the
meeting in Wilson Elementary
School protested against Miss
Sailer's dismissal.
Mrs: Dorothy East, q teacher
at Cherrydale. said Arlington
should be big enough" to look
back and recall the political
climate Of the era when Miss
Sailer was O Communist Party
member. Losing Miss Sailer'S
services because Of her past,
she said. would be "a grave
mistake"
Difficult to Be Effective"
In reply. Chairman Stockard
said sin the kind of world we
are living in." Miss Sailer
would now lind 1t extremely
difficult to be effective in our
school system"
He added that he was voting
to dismiss Miss Sailer. rather
than having allowed her to re-
sign, because she did not ac-
knowledge her past association
with the Communists when she
applied for the teaching post.
A motion by Mrs. Lane
thanking the citizens for bring
ing the teachers background
to the attention Of school on
Gals drew a 3-to-0 vote. Mr..
Stockard abstained, explaining
that he does not know what
methods these individuals had
used in obtaining the infor-
nation.

teachers would be asked, to
name any current or past men,
hership in the Communist
Party "or other subversive or
CARNATIONS when signing a
work contract.
In addition to new teachers,
the information apparently will
be asked of those who have been
with the school system for three
years or less. Teachers are re-
squired to sign a contract each
year for the first three years
After that, they are notified by
mail as to continuing employ
ment.
Duty of Board
In Offering her motion, Mrs,
Lane said it was well known
that the Communists attempted
to infiltrate large organizations,
Including the schools. The
board. she said, has a duty to
protect the children from SUBJ
versive influences.
Chairman James G. Stockard
said that he would support the
motion, but that it would not
provide "a sure-fire way to cap
ture a person who is working
actively for the Communist
Party"
The vote was unanimous
One member. Barnard Joy. was
absent.
A few minutes later. the
board formally fired Miss
Agnes Sailer, a visiting teacher
hired last September, because
Of her admitted membership in
the Communist Party between
1885 and 1945.

Rutter Urges
Early Naming
OF Successor

T. Edward Rutter. Arlington
County's outgoing school SUI
perintendent, urged the school
board last night to name his
successor as quickly as possible.
Mr.. Rutter is resigning July /
to become school superintend-
ent at Radnor. Pa, near Phila-
delphia.
Prompt action, Mr.. Rutter
said after formally submitting
his resignation. will provide
more time for him to work with
the new superintendent. Mr..
Rutter added that he also
would be able to take some an
nual leave to prepare for his
move to the new post.
Mr.. Rutter did not give any
reason for leaving Arlington.
His present salary is $4,000.
and he was slated to receive a
81 900 raise next year. The new
post pays $4,000. Arlington
has $4,000 students. compared
with 2,500 at Radnor.
Praises Administration
Mr.. Rutter praised the adj
ministration's staff, the "dedi-
Gated" persons who have served
on the school board, and the
thousands Of laymen in this
community who have helped to
create our good schools.
He added that he hoped that
citizens participation in school
affairs would continue to grow.
Mr.. Rutter was greeted by a
standing ovation when he en-
tered the room and another
after he made his speech.
A dozen citizens stood up to
laud his work as superintendent
Of schools. q post he has held
since 1854. One speaker. Mrs.
Margaret w. Fisher. Of zoos
North Twenty fourth street,
said that. when she heard Of his
resignation:
II felt q measure Of guilt
that our support had not been
as vocal as was the harassment
of the critics. Those who
approve find 1t distasteful to
get down in the gutter and
fight with cynics and name
callers"
Mrs. Fisher did not say who
the critics were or what the
harassment was. Another
speaker. June Lehman, Of lit
South Aberdeen street. after
making q reference to School
Board Member Helen Lanes
recent deletion Of q teachers
comment from her sons report
caru, SAID.
1T is obvious that the resig-
nation has come from the
wrong person.
Delegate Makes Statement
Meanwhile. Arlington Dele
gate Kathryn Stone issued a
statement that Mr.. Rutter's
resignation and other recent
events pertaining to the Arling-
ton School Board and our
schools are the tragic conse-
quences Of prolonged harass-
ment" Of the county's school
personnel and policies.
She went on to say:
The very small minority
which Is attempting radically
to change our school system Is
actually doing more than max
ing a change. They are depre-
ciating our property values and
making Arlington a place which
families will avoid moving to-"
Another statement from the
Arlington Education Associa-
ton said that teachers morale
is being damaged by criticism
against the school system.
Reflection on Teachers
The association said that at
tacks on school officials reflect
on the ability Of the individual
teacher.
The statement said that
standards in Arlington's school
system, which have taken
many years to create. can be
rapidly destroyed.
The alarming rate at which
well-trained. experienced edu-
Gators are being lured away
from our system Is one Of the
FIRST evidences Of such q de-
structive process"

ing exception to permit the
