Arlington Man Seeks
To Bar School CIosinq

o. Glenn Stahl, a man with
both a strong civic conscience
and a distaste for time-con-
suming community chores, has
suddenly found himself in the
spotlight Of Virginia's school
racial issue.
On Wednesday, Mr.. Stahl. a
former Arlington School Board
member, will lead l0-member
citizens delegation to Richmond
to discuss the threatened shut
down Of the county's classroon1s
with Gov. Almond.
The delegation represents the
Arlington Committee to Pre-
serve Public Schools, a group
which was recently organized
for the purpose Of keeping
claSsrooms open by any legal
means.
Mr.. Stahl, a quiet, self
assured Federal worker who
was named chairman Of the
organization, said he had re-
luctantly agreed to accept the
post, and then only with the
pledge that others would ac-
cept a major share Of the work.
II don't quite know why I
did it. I should have my head
examined, but / felt there was
a need TO do something drama
tic to focus the public's atten-
ton on the ISSUE" he said.
Arlington will be faced in
September on one hand by a
Federal court integration order
and on the other by the Vir-
ginia law requiring automatic
closing Of racially mixed
schools.
Wants Schools Open
The delegation, Mr.. Stahl
said, will tell the Governor that
the vast majority Of county
residents would rather hi%e
desegregation than closed
schools and will ask him to
avert a classroom shutdown.
Regarding the Virginia law
he pointed out that Gov. Al
Tnond has the option Of allow
ing a community to reopen Its
schools on an integrated basis
In this case. under another Vir-
ginia segregation law, State
school funds would be withheld
from the locality.
We are petitioning the Gov
ernor to understand the Airing
ton situation and give the com
munity as much local option a'
possible" Mr.. Stahl said.
We are not trying 10 flght

basis. Overtime will have to be
authorised in advance by the
County Board.
The policy was an outgrowth
of an investigation last fall by
the County Board into charges
leveled against J. Maynard
Magruder, then campaigning
for q seat on the County Board
of overcharging the county for
his services while chairman of
the Arlington Reassessment
Board. The charges had been
brought by Board Member
Ralph Kaul, new chairman OF
the board.
Mr.. Magruder, of the now
defunct Arlington Independent
Movement, was at that time
running against Herbert L.
Brown, jr,, of the more liberal
Arlingtonians for a Better
County.
Mr.. Magruder termed the
charges political but was de-
feated at the polls. He was
cleared by the board on a vote
along partisan lines after
lengthy hearing. The board, al
that time, was controlled, three
to two, by the county's con-
servative political faction, Mr.
Browns election reversed thai
control.
When the board adopted the
compensation policy yesterday

saw observed, the least we car

II have never heard a set Of
bells so we'll matched. They
have brilliance and life. Their
tone is rich, round and reso-
nant."
That is the opinion Of Arthur
L. Bigelow, the Princeton Uni
versity professor who came here
to test the 81 golden bronze
bells which will hang in the
Taft Memorial Tower on
Capitol Hill.
The bells will be hung this
summer in the tower built as
a memorial to the late Senator
Robert A. Taft of Ohio, who
died July 81, 1853. Senator
Taft was Republican leader Of
his party in the Senate and
was frequently talked Of as
candidate for the presidency
AS the spokesman for G. o. P
conservatism, he was often the
center of controversy, but his
Integrity and intellectual
strength were never questioned
Listening to the bells being
played here in this Alpine val
ley one feels them to be singu-
Ilarly appropriate. The strength
and the resonant solidity Of the
Taft bells make them as i'm
pressive as was the man him
self.

Taft Tower Bells to Be Among Best

Mr.. Paccard has built special
apparatus for tuning his bells
The tone is adjusted by shaw
ing bronze from inside the
bells in particular spots. Each
cut lowers the pitch of one or
more tones. A shaving too
much and the tone drops too
low. This happened on some
of the Taft bells and they were
broken up and recaSt.
Mr.. Paccard uses a basic for
mula Of 7S per cent copper and
% per cent tin in his bells,
varying slightly with the
smaller, higher-pitched bells,
He uses pine wood in his smell
ter TO control impurities, and
he casts the bells in clay
mouldS.
The bells Of the four-octive
Taft carlton range from six
tons to 1875 pounds, They are
golden now but will soon turn
grey-green. But they will give
of exactly the same tones for
centuries.
People who say bells can be
perishable point to the Liberty
Bell and its crack. Mr.. Pac-
card says the Liberty Bell was
poorly designed and cast-that
1t was a London job-and was
a mighty poor musical instru-
ment. He should know. He
cast the Liberty Bell replicas
that now are hung in all 4S
states and the District of COL
umbia, and he had to change
the basic design to make them
ring true.
Players From Keyboard
