In a letter to Senator Byrd
Mr.. Carliner stated, The rea-
son that I am writing you at
this time is that you were the
Governor of Virginia on March
az. 1926. when the segregated
seating statute was adopted.
AS you may recall, you did not
approve the statute when it was
Iubm1tted to you for signature.
The bill became law. however,
without your signature.
Courts Can't Command
Mr.. Carliner noted that the
courts cannot require a Sena-
tor to testify while the Con-
gress is in session, but re-
quested that Senator Byrd
appear voluntarily. At a SINH
lar hearing in Arlington in
1858, Senator Byrd failed to
appear after a subpoena for
him was quashed.
In his answer, Senator Byrd
referred Mr.. Carliner to the
reply he made in 1858 to the
previous request that he tes-
tify in a similar test of the
States seating laws. That let
ter stated:
This was more than 80
gears ago and do not recall
the circumstances, and believe
that the official record, which
I am forwarding to you now,
should be sufficient for the pur-
pose intended by counsel for

in connection with this CASE
The new court action was
brought, Mr.. Carliner wrote
Senator Byrd, because on April
10, 1858, the Arlington County
School Board permanently de-
MED the Community Council
for Social Progress. an organi-
zation composed of residents of
Northern Virginia. permission
to use school facilities for
public meetings.
Its denial was based upon
the fact that the Community
Council for Social Progress
had stated its refusal to segre-
gate persons attending its
meetings by their race or
color" Mr.. Carliner stated.
Validity in Question
Although the segregated
seating law was ruled uncon-
stitutional in January. 1858,
by Arlington Circuit Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy. the school
board still abides by it be-
cause neither the State Su-
preme Court nor the United
States Supreme Court has
ruled on the law.
Arlington officials are faced
with conflicting decisions on
the statute. A year before
Judge McCarthy's decision.
Circuit Judge Emery N. Hos
mer upheld the constitutional
ity of the law. The Virginia
Supreme Court threw that
case out on technicality.

,.Maryland's 1860 session oi
the General Assembly will
open Wednesday with. two
major items on the agenda-
the budget and reapportion-
ment.
The 152 lawmakers will ge
a record budget when they take
their seats at Annapolis. The
1960-61 budget to be recon-
mended by the Governor is ex-
pected to total about $478 mil
lion compared with the current
budget of approximately $45C
million, a Government source
said.
The reapportionment issue
could be test of Gov. Tawes
strength in the legislature i
he chooses to really push a
plan to give heavily populated
counties more representation
in the General Assembly.
Other proposals which likely
will, give the legislators many
an .argumentive hour are the
budget-related item of teacher
pay and bills to allow loan
companies to charge higher
interest.
srt Roads Bill Favored
'A'bill to give the State Roads
Commission more f1exibility to
speed construction of high
ways is expected to get legisla-
tive approval.
This years 30-day session is
limited to budgetary matters,
bills pertaining to the general
welfare on a Statewide basis,
and, bills of an emergency ma
ture. Local bills are not per-
mitted.
No new taxes will be recon-
mended by Gov. Tawes. The
Governor also is expected to
try to hold onto a major por-
ton Of the $40 million surplus
expected at the end of the cur
rent fiscal year June 80.
However. teacher and State
employe associations will be
lobbying for higher salaries
than the ones proposed by the
legislative council and indorsed
by Gov. Tawes. The Governors
budget is expected to call for
a teacher salary increase for
only those teachers with 10 or
more years experience. The
teacher pay proposal and mod
est increases for State employees
would cost about 81 million

AN ARDENT conservationist, Theodore
N Roosevelt forbade his family to have
Christmas tree in the White House because he
didn't want the forests depleted by even one
tree Not until his friend Clifford Pinchot
persuaded him that supervised and proper
harvesting of Christmas trees was actually
healthy for the forests did the President relent
Until the postwar era, both individuals and
forest owners usually gathered their trees
from stands that just grew wild. The work
men came in, cut down the trees that looked
about livingr room size and then went away till
the next fall. Since then, however. the business
of growing and selling Christmas trees has
been taken over largely by specialized tree
farmers who grow their own from seedlings
and send thousands of trees to market each
year.
One of the country's largest tree farmers
Raymond Nelson whose Christmas Tree
Nursery in Dubois, Pa, is shown here, has
hundreds of acres devoted exclusively to tree
raising Besides mature trees, Mr. Nelson sells
hundreds of thousands of seedlings to other
growers who don't want to wait the customary
10 years that nature takes to mature Christ
mas tree.
Scattered about his farm Mr.. Nelson has
extensive stands of trees in various stages of
adulthood from two-inch high seedlings to
special premium trees over 10 years old. At
the age of three, the trees are taken from
dense nursery beds and transplanted feet
apart in burrows. Then the major part of the
farmers work begins. This involves pruning
the branches of each tree each year so that it
will grow thicker and more symmetrical
rather than spreading out in scraggly forma-
ton. This job, done by hand, is much more
difficult and expensive than the simple power

saw operation that ships off the trunk at har-
vest time.
The average city dweller who prefers to
buy his tree rather than going out into the
countryside to find one is usually babe in the
woods about tree quality Although the price
paid depends on many factors. the desirable
commercial characteristics of a tree, besides
proper height, are:
ID Retention of needles from the time Of
cutting through the Christmas holidays.
C) Full, symmetrical shape.
81 Limb length adequate to support orna-
ments and electric lights.
~ Sufficient non-prickly foliage with q
healthy green color.
(5 Fragrant oder.
6) Springy branches that can be tied COM
pactly for shipment without breaking, and re-
gain their shape when released.
Each Christmas season. more than 26 mil
lion trees are sold, Of which the following five
are. in order. the most popular Douglas fir,
balsam fir, Eastern red cedar. black spruce,
and Scotch pine. Popularity is believed to be
based mainly on prevalence.
One of the big reasons for the increase in
Christmas tree farms is that the trees will
grow nicely on marginal land that won't sus-
tain food crop. When a farmer gives up a
farm because of poor soil conditions, tree
farmer often moves in. Although it takes sew
eral years before tree grower begins to get
his investment back. the fact that Christmas
trees have been in favor for thousands of
years. going back to the pagan custom of bring
ing an evergreen tree into the house in winter
as harbinger Of spring, means that the market
is likely to remain steady. Continued on pooss

George Murray and Lyle Peter

Lamb was featured at the noon
luncheon as well as, at the banquet.
Finalists in the make 1t Your

troduced.
There are approximately AS
million lambs on feed in the
United States. SO more than a
year ago. 81 million are estimated
for slaughter and the remain
der for replacement purposes.
Mr.. Bob Overton, in his US.
D. A. report, stated that large
numbers of lambs, especially
heavy lambs, will have to be
marketed in the next sixty days
in order to prevent punching later
in the marketing year. He further
stated, if marketing of slaughters
lambs does not equal or exceed
last year in the next 2 months,
lamb feeders can not expect much
in the way of a price rise in Feb.
and March as is normally the
case.
