A mad scramble for the last
word in a radio debate last
night finally ended with State
Senator Armistead L. Boothe

show up at the studio.
Some sort of record may
have been set for political

ton WPIK to rebroadcast a
half-hour show, previously
shown on station WTOP-TV

getic support of segregation.

the grounds of alleged conflict
of interests in the Legislature
Mr.. Boothe, meanwhile. got
advance notice of the program
and he took the next five min
utes "live" to personally answer
the Thomson charges. He said
he represented all the people
and that Mr.. Thomson would
like to act as attorney for some
of the companies which he
(Mr. Boothe) represented.
Mr.. Beverley, learning OF
Mr.. Boothe's booking of the
f1ve-minutes spot. took the next
five minutes, commencing al
TAO pm, for a recorded talk
giving his views on the Per-
row Commissions school pro-
gram. He said Mr.. Boothe was
trying to pull the wool over
the eyes" of the people by sup
porting a plan which, admit
teddy, was unconstitutional ir
parts.
| Mr.. Boothe, again having
learned of Mr.. Beverley's plan
bought the next five minute;
of air time at 7:45 pm. to reply
in person. He said Mr.. Bever-

Twenty Montgomery County
businessmen have convinced
the County Council to set a
public hearing July 81 on a
hitherto overlooked site for a
county service building in Sill
yer Spring.
A group of businessmen re-
quested the action a week ago
and at the same time sug-
gested the business district in
lower Silver Spring would be
rejuvenated by selecting a To-
cation near the District line for
a new county building.
The Council, which until that
point had almost committed it
self to constructing new police
station and other county facili-
ties at Second avenue and An
son street, headed the request.
On the strength of the bust
neSsmen's proposal for the con-
sideration of a tract at Sligo
avenue and Grove street, Coun-
ty Manager M. L. Reese called
for a study of the businessmen'S
theories.
Member William Hickey, who
had maintained that the lower
Silver Spring group should be
given a hearing, yesterday in
sisted that the council should
not vote on any location for the
service building until its full
membership is present.
Council President Stella B.
Werner, already on record as
saying Il don't like any of the
proposed locations" agreed
with Mr.. Hickory.

Fairfax County Democratic
officials today ruled tn a t
Thomas S. Gray. member OF
the Board Of County Super
visors, "unquestionably is ELI
gible" as a candidate in the
July IA Democratic primary.
His eligibility was questioned
yesterday by two members OF
the Falls Church District DEM
ocratic Committee who are
serving as publicity directors
for Mrs. Lois Sharpe, Mr..
Gray's opponent.
In a letter to Mrs. Margaret
j. Plattner, District Party
chairman, Committee Members
John F. King and T. j. Con-
nors, jr., maintained that Mr..
Gray was ineligible because he
did not vote in last years
Democratic primary or cleo
ton.
However, Fairfax County
Democratic Chairman Au-
gustus C. johnson, who verified
Mr.. Gray was unable to vote
last year because he had not
paid his poll tax, said:
The only requirement is
that candidates sign the DEM
ocratic Party pledge which says
that the last time they voted,
they supported the Democratic
candidate. They did not have
to vote in the last election"
Mrs. Plattner. who said she
is supporting Mr.. Gray, noted
that a candidates quallflca-
lions are studied closely by Mr.
johnson at the time of filing

School Staff
Is Revomped
In Fairfax

The Fairfax County School
Board last night reorganized
the school administrators
staff, a subject of much talk
for more than year.
James Woodbridge, former CO.
ordinator of architectural serv-
ices, was named an assistant
superintendent.
This gave the administra
ton six assistant superintend-
ents and put. Mr.. Woodbridge in
charge of construction, main
tenance and operation of
schools. Eventually he also will
take over school site acquisi-
ton, which is being handled
presently by Assistant Super
intendent George Pope, school
officials said.
No salary increase went with
the appointment.
J. H. Rice, former assistant
superintendent for building and
maintenance, was named assist
ant superintendent for purchaS-
ing, warehousing and distribu-
ton.
Chairman Samuel S. Solomon
noted that at present the school
administration has no such de-
partment. Mr.. Solomon, who
was chairman of a committee
that investigated central pur-
chasing and warehousing, said
the board hoped to expand its
warehousing facilities but that
no definite program is in opera
ton now.
Mr.. Solomon added, however,
that Mr.. Rice had been keep
ing an eye on purchasing right
along"
Last January the board
turned down a reorganization
plan submitted by DR.. Harry
A. Wann, a consultant. The
plan proposed that two associ-
ate superintendent be named
to report directly to Supt. w. T.
Woodson.
The board decided this
would put Mr.. Woodson out
of touch with the actual work.
ings Of the schools.
Last week the board decided
to approve a reorganization
chart submitted by Mr.. Wood
son, calling for a sixth assistant
superintendent. Besides posi-
tons occupied now by Mr..
woodbridge and Mr.. Rice,
there are assistant superin-
tendents in charge of finance
personnel, instruction and ad-
ministration.

"unquestionably is eligible"
The letter charged that Mr..
Gray took no active part in the
campaign last November. 1t
added that his repeated claims
of party loyalty constitute

Mr.. Gray termed the letter

thus not to be able to vote.
But he added that he actively

From Mrs. EUelyn B. Dennis

Washington
win you give some informa-
ton on gladiolus care In this
climate after they have stopped
blooming? Should they be
watered? Should they be left
in their beds through the win
ter? When should the bulbs
be taken up?
AnStDer
Keep the gladiolus growing
strongly until the foliage be-
gins to turn brown. This should
be in September or even later
depending upon when they
were planted. As soon as the
foliage begins to turn lift the
corms, remove the tops an inch
or two above the corms, and all
low to dry thoroughly before
storing in q shallow container
over winter. The old CORN and
the dead roots should be re-
moved In o month or six weeks
after digging.
