WI, Wakefield Open

Presidents won 1t in 1945 on
their home court.
Wakefield Beaten by WI
Wakefield won the Northern
District regular season cham
pionship but was defeated by
WI in the post-season tourna-
ment final. The Generals fin
ished third in regular season
play.
Wakefield won State conso-
lation honors in 1858. Wash
ington-Lee finished second in
1855 and third in 1856. Ham
mond of Alexandria lost to
Hopewell in the first round last
year.
Halifax County had a 100
record in Western District COM
petition this season, including
three victories over E. C.. Glass,
the defending State champion.
Newport News and Wakefield
had identical Group I records.
17-2 in District play at 1873
against ell Group I compe-
tition.
WI Banks on Control
Defense-conscious WI hopes
to bafile Halifax with its BALI
control tactics. But the Gen.
erals also have excellent shoot
ers, headed by 6-foot-3 Hugh
Miller, and a defensive whiz,
Dur Settles, who stopped most
of the Northern Districts high
scorers.
Wakefield will depend on the
shooting eye Of Bruce Terwil-
Tiger, and the floor play OF
Buddy Spedden and Gerry Spa
detti. But Terwilliger must get
scoring help If the Warriors
are to advance.

NUMISMATIC NOTES
Wartime NickeIs

During World War II some
common metals became crit
ical war materials. High on
this list was nickel. Plans
were made to eliminate its
use in our scent pieces. This
was no simple task, since the
substitute coin had to func-
ton properly in the then
large number of coin ma
chimes depending upon mic
kels for operation.
BY october 1912 nickelS
without nickel we're in pro-
duction using Sc per cent
copper, 35 per cent silver
and 8 per cent manganese.
The reverse of the new coin
was altered slightly. The
mint marks we're made larger
in size and moved from the
right of Monticello" to
above the dome. Also, for
the first and only time in our
coinage a "P" mint mark
placed on coins from Phila-
delphia.
Such nickels were made ex-
clusively through 1945. In
1916 nickels again reverted
to the usual design and COM
position (75 per cent copper
and 25 per cent nickel.
The wartime nickels were
made in huge quantities. The
1943 production toGaled about
390,500,000, a record output
never equalled before or since
for this denomination.
These coins still circulate
in large numbers.
An interesting sidelight
concerns a counterfeiting OPP
Grafton in New Jersey a few
years back. Rather good
copies of several dates Of
Philadelphia nickels were
on edate being 1914.

Federal School Aid Bill.
Is Facing Tug-of-Wor

scenes agreement to eliminate
those explosive issues might
not be enough to satisfy rules
committee chairman Smith,
Democrat of Virginia or rally
sufficient Republican support.
Nor would it remove all posi-
bility of a veto by President
Eisenhower. The latter posi-
bility would not deter Demo-
cratic leaders from trying to
pass a school aid bill and using
a veto as an election campaign
issue.
BackerS' Problems
Sponsors of the legislation
face a difficult situation not
only in trying to get the bills
to conference but also to pre-
vent the bill from being
watered-down in money size
and scope by conferees. They
fear this would lose support
among Democratic liberals.
The 206-189 House vote last
month was so close and COM
plicated that any compromise
proposal would need all the
Democratic strength it could
get if the House is to receive
and approve any new bill at
all this year. The original
House bill drew some Republi-
can votes but Republican
Leader Halleck has led a de-
termined fight against such
legislation thus far.
An early get-together and
agreement by a conference
committee would not necessar-
lily guarantee quick House and
Senate action. The leaders
could decide to delay a show
down until the final days or
hours before the hoped-for ad-
journment next month.
Conference committee re-
ports are privileged to be called
up at any time. Such a report
on the school aid legislation,
however, might be caught in a
jam of many other major bills
due for House debate during
the rest Of this month.
The foreign-aid money bill
comes out of the Appropria-
tions Committee tomorrow with
predictions Of an $500 million
cut that could arouse at least
two days Of floor fighting late
this week. The Federal pay
raise bill and the constitutional
amendment resolution to let
District residents vote for Presi-
dent and Vice President also
are programmed for this week,
The Ways and Means Commit
tee on Tuesday expects to send
to the House, probably for ac-
ton next week, a much
Changed and much-disputed bill
for old-age medical care.

Congressional advocates OF
Federal aid to help States build
schools foresee a tug-of war
that could keep the legislative
and political struggle going al
most until adjournment and
be won only if House Demo-
Gratis pull together.
Prospects repeatedly have
improved for a compromise
But the immediate problem is
to have House and Senate con-
ferees meet soon on separate
measures passed by the House
last month and by the Senate
last February.
Both binS are stalled on
Speaker Rayburn's desk. The
Senate agreed to send its bill
to conference. A Republican
objection, abetted by Southern
Democrats, prevented similar
action on the House bill last
week. The House Rules Com
mittee will be asked this week
to clear the path for appoint
ment of confereeS. The answer
probably will be a long time in
coming because the legislation
is opposed by the committees
four Republicans and at least
two Of the Southern members
among the eight Democrats.
Trimming Seen
Even if some parliamentary
miracle suddenly set up a
House Senate conference COM
mittee, any compromise bill
would have to trim the orig
inal bills considerably.
The House bill would provide
1925 million annually for four
years to States for public school
construction on a $3.50 match
ing basis and with Federal fund
allotments based on school age
populations. The Senate bill
would provide more than 5000
million q year for two years
to help States build public
schools and improve teachers
salaries. There would be nc
matching requirement the first
year and the allotment system
would be somewhat different
than the House provision.
Backers of the legislation
pin their biggest hope on a sug-
gested compromise that woulo
knock out two highly contro-
versial provisions. One is the
House bills so-called Powell
amendment to bar Fedora
school aid funds to areas failins
to comply with desegregatior
orders. The other is the Sen.
ate bills section that woulc
allow States to use Fedora
funds for teachers salaries.

By BELMONT FAIRIES
star Stamp Editor


The official seal of the
Fifth World Forestry Con-
'gress will provide the design
for the Accent stamp COM
memorating the meeting to
be issued August 29 at Seattle,
Wash.
The emblem, featuring a
globe and stylized tree, also
includes a symbolic repre-
sentation of the congress
theme - Multiple Use of
Forest Lands" Wildlife is
suggested by a deer; water
by a waterfall; timber har-
vesting by a stump and axe;
outdoor recreation by a hiker
and grazing by a sheep.
One change was made in
the seal design. A dark in
verted arc at the bottom with
the inscription, ~. S. A.
1960," was eliminated to
make room for the &c" de-
nomination and ~. S. Post
age"
The Forestry Congress seal
was designed jointly by
Maurice H. EySenburg Of the
State Departments Division
of Visual Services and Ru-
dolph Wendelin of the Agri-
culture Department, designer
of the Forest Conservation
stamp. Charles R. CHECKER
ing of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing pre-
pared the stamp model from
the seal.
The stamps will be printed
in green in the usual order
of 100 million and will be
issued in sheets of SO.
The United Nations, which
is cooperating with the
United States in organizing
the congress, will issue A.
cent and Scent stamps for
the occasion.
More than go nations are
expected to participate in
the congress, according to
DR.. Richard E. McArdle,
chief of the Forest Service
and chairman Of the organiz-
ing committee.
Technical papers by more
than 200 internationally
known experts will be pre-
sented at the sessions on the

campus. Seven tours are
scheduled to cover major
forest areas in the United
States.
Addressed envelopes for
first day cancellation may be
sent to the Postmaster, Sc
attic l, Wash, with remit
tance for the cost of the
stamps. Envelopes should be
addressed low and as far to
the left as possible, since the
stamp is vertical and the

ton requires a space approx
imately 314 by 234 inches.
