menLary schools next fail.
The debate was touched OF
by Supt. Irving H. Schmitt's
report showing anticipated
class sizes under the proposed
|7-5 plan. He indicated that
100 elementary students would
have to be relocated among the
three elementary schools.
Approved Last Month
The seventh grade shift was
approved by a AZ vote Of the
board last month to ease over
|crowding at George Mason
Junior Senior High School.
Since that time the board has
rejected three implementation
plans by Mr.. Schmidt. who OPP
posed the Us class rearrange-
ment In the first place. He
has advocated frightening the
school day at the high school
and keeping the seventh grade
there.
Board Member Lytton H.
Gibson Qlizzed the superin-
tendent on whether he could
come up with a better plan
than the four-member ma
jority's program for putting
the Us arrangement into eff
feet. Mr.. Gibson accused the
superintendent Of mot making
an honest effort to carry out
the grade shift"
AT the next meeting" Mr..
Gibson threatened, ''if we don't
have a plan from the superin-
tendent to take care Of the
students, then I'll make a mo-
ton to get someone who will"
Chairman Thomas H. Lewis
and Mrs. Jane Dexter expressed
their absolute confidence in
Mr.. Schmitt as a superin-
tendent and in his ability to
do the best he can for the
children Of Falls Church"
Hits Class Sizes
Mr.. Schmitt noted in his
report that 81 classes in the
elementary school would range
In size from 80 to 81 students.
II the present 6-6 system were
kept. he said, only IL classes
would have 80 or more students.
He also noted that the shift
would mean that six sections
Of the seventh grade would
have more than 30 pupils each.
If the seventh grade were to
be in the high school. there
could be eight sections Of less
than 80, he said.
The majority plan, Mr.,
Schmitt informed the board,
provides no space for a special
class for retarded children. He
cited the need for additional
transportation for the students
and for an estimated $4,000
outlay for new desks.
Board member H. p. Strople
told the superintendent that
| if space could not be found to
house the retarded class. then
let's rent some space for it."

Needed Rain
Followed bv


Nearly ideal weekend weather
was forecast for the Washing
ton area, following much
needed rains yesterday, which
accompanied Hurricane Cindy's
departure along the East Coast
toward Canada.
Only about a third of an
inch of rainfall was measured
here, but heavy rains in Central
and Eastern Virginia saved to-
bacco and truck garden crops
valued at millions of dollars.
1t was the first rain of any
consequence in more than a
month.
Brief tornadoes on the edge
OF the hurricane struck the
Portsmouth, Norfolk and Rich
mond areas. Low-lying areas
in Petersburg, where AZ inches
OF rain fell, were flooded.
The Weather Bureau fore
cast a high of IS here today
and predicted fair weather
early tomorrow with thunder
showers possible in the after
noon.
Nearby resort areas are to
enjoy the same fine weather,
with some scattered thunder
showers in Chesapeake Bay.

Homes Burn
Houses of Sturs
Escape Damage

HOLLYWOOD, July II (AP).
-Twenty-eight homes are
known destroyed in a brushflre
possibly touched off by an
arSoniSt-which swept through
1000 acres yesterday in Holly
woods rustic Laurel Canyon.
Fifteen other homes were
damaged. Three hundred per-
sons were forced to flee for
their lives.
Most of the homes were in
the $4,000 to $4,000 class.
Seven firemen were injured try
ing to save them. A woman
resident and her son suffered
burns running from their home
as flames raced down upon it.
1t was destroyed.
Although the homes of a
number of movie and television
stars were in the fire area, none
of them was reported damaged.
The blaze broke out during
the sections worst heat wave
of the year.
Family Barely Escapes
A family in a 1859 auto
barely escaped when the driver,
blinded by smoke, drove off the
road. The occupants fled on
foot. Flames caught the car
moments later and set it af1re.
The blaze broke out in two
different places on Laurel
Canyon boulevard and f1ared
up minutes later a mile away
on Mulholland drive-leading
firemen to suspect a firebug.
Mulholland crosses Laurel
Canyon boulevard, like the
cross on a T. at the ridge line
of the Hollywood hills. The
flames spread from Lookout
Mountain drive north through
hills and canyons crossed by
two dozen streets.
MasSed men and equipment
and backfiring-halted the
fire last night along the crest
at Mulholland. North of it lay
thick brush on the downslopes
facing the communities of the
