S3t.4 Million
Budget Voted
For Arlington
County Board Sets
l959-60 Tex Rates
At Present Levels
BY PAUL HOPE
star star writer

The Arlington County Board
today adopted q s3l.4 million
budget for io5s-eo and set the
tax rates for the new year at
their present level.
The board rejected a sugges-
ton that 1t add to the school
appropriation a clause which
would have returned any
school surplus back TO the gen.
eral county fund.
Commonwealth Attorney
William j. Hassan said that
State Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Clearance F. Hicks had rec
commended that all localities
put "reverter clauses" In all
appropriations this year, which
would mean that surpluses for
any county operation would be
returned to the general county
fund controlled by the county
board.
Reverter Proposal Opposed
Superintendent Ray Reid and
School Board Attorney James
H. Simmonds resisted the re-
verter proposal. Mr.. Reid said
that although school laws were
revised during the recent ses-
sion of the General Assembly,
he doubted that a reverter
clause would be legal on a
school budget because school
appropriations are protected by
q State constitutional provision.
The county board made a
full years appropriation for
school operations. Under the
recently enacted State legisla-
ton, many Virginia localities
are expected to make school
appropriations on a 30-day
basis so they can be diScon-
tinued to avoid integration.
The board members made it
clear that they expect public
schools to be continued in Ar
lington County. Four Negroes
already are enrolled in one
formerly all-white school in
the county.
Scholarship Grants Provided
Included in the $31.4 million
budget is a $l50.000 item for
scholarship grants under the
new freedom of choice" edu-
cational program. This would
provide funds for students to
attend private, non-sectarian
schools if they do not want to
attend public schools.
The total amount approved
for general county operation
was $lS,415,975 and the amount
for school operations $12,844,-
B45.
The tax rates will remain at
1884 per 500 evaluation on
real estate and $4.39 on per-
sonal property.

Teachers Rap
Extra Pay
For COaches
Education Group
Coils Hansen Plan
Discriminatory
BY JAMES g. DEANE
star stan writer

A move 70 give Washington
public school coaches and some
other teachers extra pay has
run into bitter objections from
some teacher groups.
Spokesman for the District
Education Association and sew
eral other organizations yester-
day took sharp issue with
Schools Supt. Carl F. Hansen
on the plan ct q House hearing.
Miss Helen E. Samuel, APP
pearing for the education as
ISOLATION, attacked the plan as
discriminatory, She urges an
across-the-board pay raise for
all teachers instead.
Miss Samuel contended that
coaches already have an ad-
vantage over other teachers be-
cause they get compensatory
time of.
"The great majority Of our
teachers have been working
far more than q normal week
in addition to carrying extra
activities while coaches have
had compensatory time of for
time expended in connection
with extra-curricular activities"
she said.
Work Load Cited
She told a House District sub
committee headed by Repre-
sentative Matthews, Democrat
of Florida. that coaches have
no idea of the Staggering" work
load Of an ordinary classroom
teacher.
DR.. Hansen contended that
some teachers, however, don't
realize the Importance Of physi-
cal education. He also COM
planned that the present COM
pensatory time-off system is
inefficient.
Coaches would be required to
add two more daily academic
classes to their present three
classes-a-day teaching load to
qualify for extra coaching pay,
DR.. Hansen told the committee.
He said many school systems
elsewhere. including some in
the District suburbs, have
successful extra-pay plans.
The cost of the extra pay
scheme would be about SIP, 900
a year, he said. Some 400
teachers would draw amounts
ranging from $3.50 up to 5000
per season for coaches Of major
sports.
The House unit expects to
hear more witnesses later, prob
ably next week. before acting
on legislation backed by city
officials.
During the hearing Repre-
sentative Davis, Democrat of
Georgia, questioned DR.. Hansen
on the trip the school official
made to Atlanta, Ca, and
Nashville, Tenn. The Atlanta
trip was at the invitation of a
human relations group and DR..
Hansen appeared on a tele-
vision show. In Nashville, he
participated in a conference
sponsored by the Federal Civil
Rights Commission.
Discusses Indignation
On both occasions the school
superintendent discussed the
integrated Washington public
school system.
The Georgia legislator ac-
cused DR.. Hansen of seeking to
promote indignation of South
ern schools. The school Of
fetal denied this, but said he
is opposed to racial discrimina-
ton in public institutions.
Mr.. Davis several years ago
conducted. public hearings on
Washington public school in
tegration which resulted in a
highly critical report that has
been given wide circulation.
DR.. Hansen said he felt he
was entitled to give groups else
where a factual picture of the
Washington schools.
| Representative Foley. Demo-
crat of Maryland. strongly
commended the school official
for his stand.
