Executive Secretary Richard

entry, primarily because they
did not wish to embarrass Ar
lington during the height of
the Statewide integration con-
troversy.
Negro Backing Reported
Proponents of desegragation
recently revived the question.
proposed the poll and ques-
toned Negro teachers, most of
whom repeatedly indicated they
approve establishment Of a
single teachers association in
the county.
The Arlington School Board
last month in effect declared
that in future assignment Of
pupils it intends to comply fully
with the 1854 Supreme Court
desegregation decision.
Consequently, about 80 more
Negroes are expected to enter
predominantly white schools

courts had ordered the admis-
sion of A.

$3.l5 per 500 based on So per
cent Of the market value.
The Fairfax assessment ratio
is being increased from 81 to
40 per cent for next year, Mrs.
Wilkins said. bringing with it
a drop in the present $3.75
rate.
In addition, Alexandrians
must pay a 10 per cent tax on
utility bills and a So capitation
tax. neither of which is levied
in the county, Mrs. wilkins
noted.
Mrs. Wilkins also charged
that city residents would have
to bear more than a l2-cent
tax increase foreseen by Alex
andria officials.
Distortion Charged
This expected tax boost is
based on an estimated $19 mil
lion cost Of annexation. Mrs.
wilkins said that the cost for
schools alone will exceed this
figure. She places the ulti-
mate cost at $50 million, four
times that Of the city's esti-
mate.

Moore-Hutchens Race

RICHMOND. April 10 (spe-
ciaD Delegate Charles K,
. Hutchens Of Newport News is
going to run for the post OF
Speaker In Virginia'S House of
Delegates.
Mr.. Hutchens is readying an
announcement which he will re-
lease tonight or early tomorrow
Sources close to Mr.. Hutchens
said he had more than 40 COM
mitrnents from the 100-member
House Of Delegates.
The decision to swing behind
Mr.. Hutchens arises because
another possible candidate,
Delegate John Warren Cooke Of
Mathews. House floor leader,
has been reluctant to oppose
the present Speaker, E. Black
burn Moore Of Berryville.
Mr.. Hutchens has been iden-
titled with the Byrd Democratic
organization, but in the 1860
General Assembly he led the
fight for Gov. Almonds unsuc-
cessful sales tax proposal.

Of consultants, Wiley & Wilson.
"If this really is what the
engineers report says" Mrs.
Wilkins said. "one can only
doubt their competence. What
is more likely, however, is that
it is a deliberately distorted
story put out by the Mayor in
his effort to get support for
making his little pond a big
one"
Alexandria Mayor Leroy S.
Bendheim has been one of the
leading supporters of annexa-
ton of portions of Fairfax
County by the city. He says
that Alexandria must expand
to escape becoming a dead
city"
Mayor Bendheim replied
when asked about Mrs. Will
liams' statement that he had
no reason to question the con-
SultantS' figures.
They are a we'll known and
reputable firm" he said.
Figure Called Ridiculous
The Mayor, who said that
Mrs. Wilkins is a lovely lady
and I have no desire to get in
any argument" termed an an
nexation cost figure of $50
million utterly ridiculous"
Mayor Bendheim said that
it was his belief that-if real
and property taxes and sani-
tary district costs were in
cluded-the tax bill in Fairfax
County would be higher than
that Of Alexandria.
But the big argument is not
a question Of taxes. They are
paying high taxes in Fairfax,
but are not getting the proper
quality Of service" the Mayor
said.
He said that the city would
be doing Fairfax a service
by annexation. because they
would be relieved of all that
debt service"

Teachers Integrotion
Seen in Arlington Vote

Arlington'S white teachers
evidently have voted to admit
Negro colleagues to their pro-
fessional organization.
Ballots from all but two
schools indicate q majority of
the 1.100 members Of the Ar
lington Education Association
favor its desegregation.
An authoritative source said
over the week end there is only
"a remote possibility" that
votes still to be counted will
reverse the results already re-
ceived.
He refused to divulge the
exact count of the ballots in
formally tabulated thus far.
The final official tally should
become known late this after
noon.
Participation by teachers in
the poll, conducted during the
last two weeks, was described
as unusually widespread.
Expulsion Threatened
The executive secretary Of
the Virginia Education Associa-
ton, Robert F. Williams, has
warned there is strong pos
sibility" that the AEA would
be expelled from it's parent
organization if it accepted
colored teachers.
But those advocating admis-
sion of Negroes expressed hope
that instead Of retaliating
against the Arlington teachers,
the State association would fol-
low the same local-option
policy adopted by the General
Assembly in connection with
school desegregation.
The YEA probably will con-
slider the issue at its meeting
next month.
The county association in
1856 amended its constitution
to make colored instructors
eligible for membership.

The Shaw High Rhythm-Teens
and Band present their Mid
Winter Concert this Saturday
night in the Shaw Auditorium.
The program begins at 8 p m.
The Rhythm Teens have been
acclaimed by thousands as be-
ing an outstanding entertain
ing group. It's 16 singers and
16-piece jazz band has been
the feature entertainment at
many national conventions held
in Cleveland.
The largest convention en-
tertained this season was that
of the American Automobile
Association at the Statler Hill
ton Hotel.
Comments from those attend
ing singled out the musical
group as being the highlight
pf the four-day meeting.
The directors Of the unit are
Margery Shields and S. Robert
Fraser. The Rhythm-Teens pre-
sent their show throughout the
school year at private showings.
This is their only public ap-
pearance for the community to
attend.

as requested by Member Ralph
L. Peckinpaugh that "a more
intelligent and understandable
budget be presented and it
should not be exceeded without
prior approval Of the board"
To this Shaw Princi p a
Wayne c. Blough answered:
"We certainly will make every
effort to cooperate with the
board - knowing full well the
members have the best interest
of the school system at heart" "
He would not com m n t
further on the boards specific
complaint because he had not
received any official notifica-
tion of displeasures.
Contrary to a generally cir
culated report. the board did
not issue a warning to the
athletic department to watch
it's budget a little more closely
this year.
The group merely wishes to
see improvements made in the
actual bookkeeping procedure.
Oddly enough, this comes at
a time the athletic department
is asking for less money this
year than it spent in 1860
Last year, it spent S21,180
for all athletic activities. How
ever, it had asked for S19,-
500 or over spent close to seven
per cent.
The main bone of contention
is expenditures concerning the
football budget.
In this, figures revealed a 16
per cent over-expenditure as the
athletic department asked for
$1,000 and spent $13,943.69 or
16 per cent more than re-
quested.
The football budget request
for 1861 is $12,S10; the basket
ball request is S3,795 and
spring sport estimates total
$3,912.5O.
At any rate, the board agreed
to leave any bookkeeping house.
