Wakefield
Losing Junior
High Pupils

Arlington's Wakefield High
School will open next month
for the first time without jun
ior high school pupils,
Completion of the new $2.9
million Gunston Junior High
will enable educators to devote
Wakefield exclusively to the
200 high school pupils ex-
pected to enroll there for the
fall semester starting Septem-
Der /.
The anticipated enrolment
would make Wakefield the larg-
est public school in Virginia
and one of the largest in the
South.
Although the school was de-
signed for only 1000 students,
the overflow will be accomo-
dated in the former Dolly Madi-
son Junior High School, which
is serving as an annex.
The predicted enrolment at
Arlington's other public high
school, Washington Lee, is
2,460.
However, school authorities
believe that when the new
Yorktown High School opens
in 1860, its enrolment will sur
pass that of both the other
schools.

The job of committeeman
isn't vacant yet and won't be
until Senator Dalton turns in
his resignation to the National
Committee-Something he's ex-
pected to do within the next
several weeks. The State COM
mittee has no authority to
name Senator Dalton'S success
Sor, which is a job to be done
by the National Committee it
self. But the recommendations
of the State committee, tradi-
tionally, are as good as election.
A prime factor that makes
the post Of national commit
teeman a much sought-after
job is that it automatically
carries with it membership on
the State Patronage Commit
tee. The patronage commit
tee clears Republican political
appointments in Virginia be-
fore they go to the National
Committee - Federal judge

The patronage group is made
up of, the national committee

They pointed to a 1949 ruling
by the csc which permitted
Federal employees to support in

The chairman of the Demo-
