Mrs. Wilkins pointed out that

last-minute move to elect him
to Congress.
He did so, he said, in the

Plans were announced only
yesterday in Fredericksburg to

like Virginia's Senator Byrd,
has kept silent on his prefer
ence in the presidential race.
Mr.. Battle noted that his

ReZoning of some Fairfax
County trailer parks to gain in
creased real estate taxes is rec
commended in a report reviewed
yesterday by the Board of
County Supervisors.
Rosser Payne of the county's
planning staff explained that
the county now has 18 trailer
parks. But four of these are
in the town of Fairfax, six are
in non-conforming uses and
eight are in operation in COM
mercially zoned land, Mr..
Payne said.
He noted that if all the parks
were put under the county's
trailer park zoning, the county
would get far more tax money
and could put the parks under
performance requirements in
the county ordinances.
The report also said the
county needs two more trailer
parks, one in the Chantilly
area and the other near Fort
Belvoir.
500 Limit Urged
The two new trailer parks
should not have a total capacity
of more than 500, the report
added.
Keith Price, planning COM
mission chairman, told report
ers he opposed a commission
recommendation to set the
population of trailer parks at
3 per cent of the county's to-
tai population.
Such a restriction is unneces-
sary, Mr.. Price said, adding
that the county could simply
stop approving applications II
it had enough trailer parks.
The supervisors had little
comment on the report. Mrs
Anne wilkins, board chairman
after hearing Mr.. Payne's re-
port on the small tax returns
from trailer parks, commented
1--WE don't want to encourage
anything that's a tax deficit"
The supervisors accepted the
report but took no action or
it.
In separate action. the super
visors turned down a propose
to allow the St. Johns Catholic
Church to build a parochia
school adjacent to the publ,
Churchill Road Elementar.

Mr.. Jeter warned, too. that
too much special attention to

Another Education Depart.
ment official who spoke to the

assistant supervisor in the de-
partment's math and science
division.
He told the teachers that en-
rollments are low in the math

Negro students may elect.
He blamed this partly on the
failure of our schools to chal-
lenge our students to higher

DONKEY CONES TO TOWN
Annexation or Not,
School Expansion Urged

The chairman of the Falls
Church School Board says ad-
ditional classroom space is es-
sential for George Mason High
School, regardless of the out
come of the city's annexation
suit against Fairfax County.
The chairman, Thomas H.
Lewis. spoke last night before
the North Greenway Downs
Citizens Association.
A former councilman, G. Gait
Bready. urged a policy of wait
and see" about annexation be-
fore voting more money for
school construction.
The exchange took place
during a debate between the
two civic leaders on the city's
$l.2 million public improve
ment bond issue to be voted on
next Tuesday. OF the total,
$75O,000 is earmarked for a
13-room expansion of George
Mason, $125,000 for final re-
modelling of Madison Elemen-
tary School and the remainder
for street improvement and
storm drains.
5000 Increase
Mr.. Lewis told the group
that Falls Church will inherit
more than 5000 students If
the sought-after As miles are
added to the city. Grades Z to
IL would swell by 1880 to 1,400
and grades / to 6 by 1,700 to
1,750, Mr.. Lewis said.

If annexation is successful
Mr.. Lewis said, Falls Church
High School probably would be
added to the city. with a ca
pacity of 1850 students. Mr.
Lewis added that well be look
ing for additional elementary
school space" if the city ex-
pands.
Mr.. Bready acknowledged the
space shortage at George Ma
son but urged a two-year wait
before voting construction
funds. A possible Ascent tax
increase to pay for the bonds
plus the cost Of annexation
would produce too great taz
boost all at once, Mr.. Bready
said.
Estimate in Doubt
Furthermore, he added, the
city's school needs cannot be
accurately determined unit
annexation is a fact.
Mr.. Bready admitted, how.
ever, that if the bond issue il
defeated, there will be a very
uncomfortable situation al
George Mason for the next two
years"
Mr.. Lewis placed probable
bond cost at is cents per $10(
of assessed valuation. He also
noted that the construction
plans at George Mason woult
have to be thoroughly reviewed
before actual building could be-
gin. BY that time, MIR. Lewil
said. the court probably woult
have given a good indication
Of whether the annexation sui
would be approved.

Virginia Teachers Ask
Watch on Pupil Grants
BY ALEX r. PRESTON
Star Stad Writer

RICHMOND, Nov. 3.-Possble abuse of Virginias pupil
program causing growing today among
delegates to the 18th annual convention Of the Virginia
Education Association.
Delegates today approved resolution urging the State
Board of Education to establish he necessary regulations
Evening star., 1960-11-03


to restrict use Of these scholar /
ships to the purposes for which
they were intended"
DR.. Robert F. Williams, YEA
executive secretary. told the
delegates last night the schol-
arships-sometimes known as
tuition grants-have been used
recklessly by parents under
State regulations which have
been progressively weakened"
Range Up to SITS
The scholarships, ranging up
to $275, are made available tcl
children to attend private, nom
sectarian schools or public
schools outside the jurisdiction
in which they live. Although
race is not mentioned In the
law, its purpose is to prevent
compulsory attendance at in
tegrated schools. Mention Of
race was omitted Intentionally
to guard validity Of the pro-
gram.
DR.. williams pointed out that
last year private schools ac-
cepting pupils under the schol-
arship program were required
to sign affidavits certifying the
pupil was enrolled and attend
ing classes; that the school was
non-sectarian, and that the
school met minimum scholastic
standards set by the State.
This year, said DR.. VIII
liams, no such affidavits are re-
quired.
Could "GO Fishing"
"Conceivably," DR.. Williams
said, a pupil could receive a
tuition grant and not have to
go to school at all-"he could
either go fishing or pick
daisies"
The YEA official said Virgin
ians must know about the mis-
use Of pupil scholarships"
He said there are cases of par
ents whose children have at
tended private schools for years
who are now getting tax-sup-
ported scholarships.
Local school boards are now
permitted to determine the
qualifications of a child for a
scholarship whereas the State
Board of Education required
certification last year.
Resolutions Adopted
Among q dozen resolutions
adopted today without contro-
versy was one opposing the pub
lie release of the results of last
years pupil testing program,
which has been ordered by the
State Board of Education.
I'VE caution against an over
emphasis on standardized test
ing of pupils and the use of test
results to make comparisons be-
tween schools and Tor school
systems" the resolution said.
I"Our experience in public edu-
lcation conyinces US that the
proper and most effective uses
of standard test results lie in
the areas Of individual pupil
guidance and the planning of
instruction on the localflevel."
Also adopted was a legisla-
tive program which, among
other thing, expresses opposi-
ton to members of the State
Legislature or officials of public
or private schools serving or
the State Board Of Education.
Senators on Board
At present three State Sena-
tors and a county school super
intendent are members of the
board.
