Arlington Democrats, COP.
Concentrate Fire on ABC

Seemingly forgetting about
each other, Democrats and Re-
publicans are bouncing on a
third foe as the Arlington
County Board campaign enters
its final two weeks.
Republican. Kenneth Ludwig
and Democrat William Wet
more last night concentrated
their criticism on the nonpar-
tisan coalition, Arlingtonians
for a Better County, which has
won every contested board elec-
ton since 1856.
ABC Candidate Roye Lowry,
whose supporters now claim
that the intensity Of the at
lacks against the coalition con-
stitute admission that it is
likely to win again. replied by
warning against returning
county government to a jungle
Of partisan politics where, he
said, alien factors would in
fluence local policy. The can
Sidates spoke before the Airing
ton Forest Citizens Association
at the Barrett School.
While trying to portray the
Abe as a declining power clique
rent by fratracidal vendettas,
Mr.. Ludwig specifically at
tackled two of its prominent adj
herents, County Board Member
Ralph Raul and School Board
Member James Stockard.
Hits C ID Stand
He asserted that bomb shell
ters could have been constructed
in new schools at relatively low
cost, but that Mr.. Raul has
repeatedly tried to eliminate
from the county budget any
funds for civil defense rather
than increase them"
Concerning declarations of
Abe unity, he commented:
last night a group of 81
veteran members of ABC tried
to pull Abe back together. The
old party stalwarts, mind you,
that never in their lives devil
ated from the party, formed a
group called "A Citizens Com
mittee for Nonpartisan Local
Elections It's significant to
me that the best man Abe
ever elected on their ticket.
Mr.. Herbert Brown, was not
present. And, of course, MIR.
Kaul has left ABC. And / don't
think anybody knows whose
side Mr.. Stockard is on"
Mr.. Wetmore. referring to a
report issued Monday urging
large increases in teacher SAL
aries, declared:
Under ABC leadership, we
have slipped. Today, we are
not even competitive with
alexandria. the District OF
Columbia or Montgomery
County"
Ridicules Committees
He ridiculed recently formed
committees of supposedly dis
enchanted ABC members sup
porting Mr.. Lowry as mere
publicity stunts, contending
that those who joined have
been active in the campaign
from its outset.
This is Just another at
tempt by ABC to get away
from issues and hoo6wink the
public" Mr.. Wetmore said.
Mr.. Lowry maintained that

Walt Disney'S special effects
chaps can do anything, includ-
ing whip up an amusing chest
nut dressing.
This is the secret Of the box
office success of The Absent
Minded Professor" now the
country'S most popular picture,
which is to be found locally
at the Metropolitan Theater.
1t is not the professor who
is the funny thing in this Dis
ney opus. On the contrary,
it is his invention. This is a
substance called "flubber, "
which has the amazing property
of multiplying the effects of
gravity. With "flubber" pow
er, a Model T Ford can be
turned into a flying machine
and, even more remarkable. a
team of midgets can overwhelm
a quintet of basketball giants.
This latter is accomplished
by putting "flubber" heels on
the small players, which per-
mits them to play the game
in midair, quite out of reach
Of their opponents.
Another effect Of "flubber"
is that it makes of no conSe-
quence the farce'S basic script
This has to do with Fred Mac
Murray, one of those weirdo
professors in the physics de-
partment, who keeps forgetting
that Nancy Olson is waiting
at the altar to marry him.
This sort of conduct on the
part Of professors is as hack
neyed as "flubber" is amazingly
new. It is the latter that
makes it possible for even a
PROFESSIONAL dope to solve the
traffic problem by flying, with
out wings. at any level he
chooses. And. when he becomes
miffed at another driver, tc
jounce up and down on the
top Of the latter's station
wagon.
Essentially, THE Absent
Minded Professor" is piece OF
science fiction, but one happily
favored with farce instead Of
the mock terror that has beer
fashionable in this field in Hol.
lywood. The sight of MacMur.

landmarks as the Capitol Dome

Make a must" note of
"Serengeti Shall Not Die" the
new nature film at the Apex
theater.
This is one of the most alb
sorbing true-life movies ever
made. its actors the million
animals in a 5000 square mile
game preserve in Africa. its
dramatic message that these
creatures are faced with ex-
tinction.
"Serengeti," an Academy
award winner, is a movie made
with love, a love so strong that
its 23-year old naturalist-pro-
ducer died in it's making. This
victim was Michael GrZimek,
of Frankfort, Germany, a bril-
liant film technician and an
altogether winning humaniSt.
No animal picture within the
memory of this correspondent
has approached "Serengeti" in
the touching force of its appeal.
Its animal actors, aloofly gentle
lions. Sportive ZebraS, graceful
antelopes. and so many others
are characters. They are deS-
perately imperiled species, the
last remnants of a bountiful
creative force. pitifully asking
the right and a place to live.
The Grzimeks, Father Ber-
nard and dead son. Michael.
are not SsntimentaliStS. They
are scientists with hearts and
a great respect for forms of
life unlike their own. They
are also great story tellers who
use every foot of their film
not only to show the true ma
ture of so-called wild animals
but the cruel nature of so-called
civilized man.
Over the 80-minutes of pur-
poSeful narrative, "Serengeti"
is an aStonishingly detailed
piece of factual reporting. never
repetitive. always arresting. It
merited its Academy award and
merits your attention.
So incidentally, does another
award winning much briefer
film on the same program. This
one is Day of the Painter" an
hilarious comment on abstract

Have you ever tried to
grow grass in the area that
lies beneath a child's swing
Or at the ends of a slide?
Or have you ever tried to
run a lawn mower under
one of these combinations
that includes swings, trapeze
and slide?
One way to solve these
bothersome problems is to
pave the areas upon which
your children play intensive
ly. Despite the fact that
pavement is relatively ex-
penSive and certainly not as
resilient as grass, it never
theless offers obvious advan-
tageS. Your cost of mainte-
nance will be reduced and the
pavement will eliminate a
great deal of dust and mud
that eventually get tracked
into the house. If properly
drained the children will be
able to play on it shortly
after a rain.
In planning a pavement
for a play area, consider the
various changes that are
likely to take place in your
family life and act accord
ingly.
A plan of this sort could be
done progressively, paving
first the children's play area,
then, when they grow old
enough to roller skate, COM
pleting the circular paving
enclosing the lawn.
The circular paving could
be used for both roller skat-
ing and small bicycles. When
the children have outgrown
these activities, the area
could become a terrace, the
sandbox being used as a
planter and the circular walk
becoming just an easy means
to get from one part Of the
yard to the other.

Gosque Sees Difficult Road Ahead
For School Integration in Virginia

cause I once was in the class
room and know something OF
the lost feeling, which comes
with the first year." he told
a group of seniors last week
at Madison.
1T would not be correct to
say that ! resigned primarily
due to the integration situa-
ton in Warren County, "Mr.
Gasque told a reporter" ut
would be unfair to give that
impression after the good sup
port I received from so many
people in Warren County. But
I will not say that the integra-
ton situation did not have
some bearing on my resig-
nation"
AS for the situation in War
rem County, Mr.. Gasque feels
that the tension is lessening
and the situation in general
is improving.
He says that Mosby Academy,
the private school which was
opened after Warren County
High School became the first
school in the State to be
closed to avoid integration, is
doing a commendable job.
Sees DiscOrd
His encouragement also is
high regarding Warren County
High School, which he says,
sis doing one of the best jobs
ever"
The low pupil-teacher ratio
IA pupils per teacher) is an
advantage to the school pro-
gram. he says.
Mr.. Gasque predicts that de
segregation Of public schools
will always be accompanied by
discord and bitterness by the
people Of the State"
His opinion is that the peo-
pie Of Virginia know what must
eventually happen.
THE answer to the question
will be found" he says, land
it will be painful to many.
There are number Of Sec
tions in Virginia which will
carefully consider any action
to close down public schools
because they know the value OF
public school education. Some
counties will follow the plan OF
Prince Edward County of clos
ing down public schools il
forced to desegregate, but I dc
not believe it will be the pat
tern for all the State"
Asked to comment on the
Prince Edward County situa-
ton, he replied;
I don't understand the re-
cent demand of Attorney Gen
eral Robert Kennedy and
don't believe many of the peo-
pie I've talked with do either
