Residents Protest
High School Site

Residents of the Kensing-
ton Wheaton area yesterday
charged that the Montgomery
County School Board railroaded
through its decision to build a
$2.8 million high school in their
area.
Their criticism was leveled
at the board in a hearing be-
fore the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission. That group is
considering the relocation Of a
primary street originally slated
to cross the school property.
Residents also objected to a
tentative plan to convert Ken
ton drive to a primary street
in place of one displaced by
the school. They said heavy
traffic on that thoroughfare
would be a hazard to children
attending Pleasant View Ele-
mentary School nearby.
Noting with annoyance that
no one from the school board
was represented at the hearing
commission members postponed
a decision on the street for
at least 80 days.

Shaken by Quarry,
own Asks to Annex 1t

have objected that operation of
the quarry breaks their win
dows, rattleS the dishes and
scatters dust and rocks over
the countryside.
A year ago a group of town
residents got a grand jury in.
dictment in Fairfax charging
the quarry with being a public
nuisance. The indictment is
still pending.
Six months before that, Oc-
coquan residents turned out
for a hearing on continuation
of a use permit for the quarry
before the Fairfax Board of
Zoning Appeals.
The permit was granted
anyway.
The annexation proposal,
town councilmen said, amounts
to last-ditch effort to place
more controls on the quarry.
The annexation proposal also
includes about 3 square miles
of area surrounding the town
in Prince William County,
which would make the towns
population two and = a half
times its present size.

College Grant
Questioned
ByMrs. Cole

BALTIMORE, June / (AP)
Mrs. Kenneth s. Cole, q
member Of the State Board OF
Education from Montgomery
County, has questioned the con-
Stitutionality of a General AS
sembly grant of $5oO,OO0 to
Mount st. Mary's College.
She said at a meeting of the
board yesterday there is a "seri-
GUS question" whether the
action violated the Federal con-
Stitutional doctrine of separa-
ton of church and state.
At its recent session, the
Legislature appropriated the
funds to match an equal contri-
button by the Catholic college
in Emmitsburg for construction
of a science laboratory.
Similar grants have been
made in the past to other
private colleges in the State, in
cluding Johns Hopins Univers-
ity and Loyola College in Balti-
more.
Mrs. Cole said the Maryland
Court of Appeals in 1852 had
ruled that a gift to Hopkins
a private institution. was legal
under the State Constitution
But she questioned whether q
grant to a UNCONVENTIONAL col
lege was legal under the First
Amendment of the Federal
Constitution.
The grant two years ago tc
Loyola, q Catholic college, was
not seriously challenged.
She proposed that the board
formally bring the question to
Gov. Tawes's attention for his
consideration of the Federal
constitutional question. But
after a lengthy discussion, dur.
ing which several members
questioned whether the boarc
had jurisdiction in the matter
Mrs. Cole withdrew her motion

The Arlingtonians for a Bet
ter County bypassed a promi-
net civic leader and chose for
mer diplomat Roye Lowry as
their county board candidate
last night.
Mr.. Lowry, who is virtually
unknown politically, emerged
from behind to defeat Mrs.
Mary Cook Hackman by a vote
of ITS to 129 on the third bal
lot at the convention of the
non-partisan coalition.
Warns of COmplacency
Accepting the nomination,
Mr.. Lowry warned those who
had given 1t to him that COM
placency born of ABC victories
in the past four local elections
could cost the coalition the one
seat at issue in November.
Lets not kid ourselves one
single bit. This is going to be
a mighty tough election" he
said.
Mrs. Hackman, president of
the Arlington Civic Federation
and vice president of the North
ern Virginia Regional Park
Authority, led on the first two
ballots last night.
Results of the first were:
Mrs. Hackman, 112; Mr.. Lowry,
81; Businessman Ray Wadlow,
"a, and Mrs. Yvonne Hutchins,
wife of a retired Navy captain,
.21. On the second ballot, Mrs.
Hackman received 118 votes,
Mr.. Lowry 10 and Mr.. Wad-
low IS.
In his opening speech seeking
the nomination, Mr.. Lowry left
no doubt concerning his posi-
tion in the ABC controversy
about whether coalition repre-
sentatives should seek other
political office while serving
on the county board.

The board then voted ap-
proval of the provision and
other measures, including reci-
procal certification Of teachers
in the Northeastern States and
upgrading of the hiring pro-
gram leading to five year
teacher training. These meas
ures were proposed several
months ago.
Other Action Postponed
The board postponed action
on a State Senate request that
teachers be required to swear
to belief in the existence o1
a Supreme Being"
Members said they wanted
to wait until the Supreme
Court has ruled on a similar
oath required of State officials
The oath is being contested
by Roy r. TorcaSo, a Wheator
accountant who was denied q
commission as a notary be-
cause he refused to swear tc
that belief.
In other business, the boarc
reelected Jerome Frampton oi
fredericksburg to a one-yeal
term as chairman and Mrs
Cole as vice chairman.
The group also approved
! majors in art, art education

and dramatics at Towson Stat

Thomson Asks Council
To Avoid Area Sit-Ins

Delegate James M. Thomson,
jr., Of Alexandria, speaking last
night to a group promoting
closer interracial relations,
sought to discourage Sit-ins and
picketing demonstrations
against IA restaurants which
have been asked to serve
Negroes.
He was informed by Mrs.
George A. Eddy, president of
the Alexandria Council on
Evening star., 1961-06-01

Human Relations, that it is
not the policy of her group to
sponsor such movements.
II know that" Mr.. Thomson
replied, adding that his ap-
peal was directed to anyone
who might be thinking about
participating in the movement.
/ Mr.. Thomson, seeking re-
nomination in the Democratic
primary on July II, spoke after
a talk by his opponent, Dennis
K. Lane, who had left the meet
ing.
Letters to IA Owners
Leonard S. Brown, a Howard
University graduate who is
seeking election TO the Alexan-
dria Democratic Committee,
has written letters to the own
IerS of IA restaurants which did
not announce a change of pol
icy at time when seven other
restaurants and lunch counters
in stores desegregated their
facilities last July, stating the
restaurants would be tested
for their racial policies.
Mr.. Thompson, declaring that
the letters had come to his
attention, warned that anyone
taking part in sit-in demonstra-
tions would run the risk of
violating Virginia's trespass
laws.
Later, the Rev. John C.
Davis, pastor of the Meade
Memorial Episcopal Church,
told Mr.. Thomson II appre-
ciate your frankness; your
position is very clear"
Mr.. Davis oaSked Mr.. Thom-
son if he would work to reopen
public schools in Prince Ed
ward County, Virginia. which
have been closed for two years.
mo, I would not" Mr..
Thomson said, ANY more than
I would tolerate Prince Ed
ward telling Alexandria what
to do with it's schools"
Mr.. Lane, who said he had
to leave earlier because of an
other engagement, told the
group he did not believe a de-
bate with Mr.. Thomson would
be appropriate in the Roberts
Memorial Church, where the
meeting was held.
Throughout this campaign"
Mr.. Lane said, II have been
striving for a greater sacrifice
and greater effort to be put
forward to build better sys-
tenn of education from the
grass roots up"
He said Virginia has great
social problems" which may
not be solved until the next

breaks a day, your employer is
"as out of date as running
boards on an automobile"
Today, more than eight out
of 10 companies have a stand
ard policy covering rest breaks
and there is nothing casual
about the system. It's set, it's
in black and white, it's part of
an employees established fringe
benefits.
Most companies allow a
morning rest break, and now
the afternoon rest break is
spreading as we'll.
The 15-minute break is Clog
est to being standard; the 10
minute rest period also is COM
mon.
These are the key points
brought out in a survey made
by the Dartnell Corp. of Chica-
go Of 141 companies employing
almost 10000 clerical employees
and released to executives sub
scribing to Dartnell'S Office
Administrative Service.
Acceptance Widespread
Perhaps the extent to which
the coffee break has become a
national institution" is no
news to you, but I confess my
surprise at the broad, formal
acceptance of the two-a-day
rest period by American busi-
ness.
AS an illustration, Of the 141
companies revealing details on
their policies, 1872 allow a
morning rest period and 116
permit an afternoon break too.
More than half-58 per cent
don't attempt to impose rigid
time schedules; employees can
take their breaks or go to vend-
ing machines at times other
than those designated.
Most-65 per cent-have a
cafeteria, lunch or coffee room
or vending machines con-
veniently placed for employees.
The others have coffee wagons
which circulate throughout the
offices or they permit employees
to bring refreshments to their
desks.
Only an insignificant minor
ity make any distinctions be-
tween rest break policies for
men and women.
Why has the coffee break be-
come so entrenched? What do
employers find right with it,
wrong with it?

On the plus side, more than

NATIVE OPPORTUNITY IN BUSINESS
THERE is DEVELOPING a most unfortunate tendency
in the business community here-that Of by-passing native
ability, skill, yes, and even availability. A quick looksee can
substantiate this conclusion.
THIS PLACE is a ~hospitable one, always has been, and
those coming here have been known to comment and recog-
nizs this vL1ue as invaluable, SO much so that it has attracted
many who Immediately feel safe and comfortable here. In the
business field a receptive community is without parallel, and
this is the case with st. Croix.
IT is NOT necessary to spell out in detail this by-passing
of which We speak. It is obvious. How many businesses have,
for example, native managers? How many take time and effort
to train young natives who show promise and potential How
many use this reservoir Of manpower, except in the most I'M
skilled and routine Jobs? Or is it mere coincidence that the
tourist or visitor rarely sees the native even in the role Of sales
clerkP
THIS IS NO moIe-hill proposition. It does not require the
knowledge Of one advanced in economics to realize that there
is much to the idea Of using native manpower as a most valu-
able asset. But more, it provides an alimportant good will
which every businessman works hard to win-and keep.
ALL THE Ri are unquestionabfy in favor Of
nsing native ability and resources. In a free society, the popu-
laton is the most important single asset It is this type Of dis
regard which creates the problems Of coloniaEsm, and turns
back the hands Of the clock. OF course, the practice is not even
thought Of in certain places. For example, even before Puerto
Rico assumed commonwealth status its people insisted that
while they did not object to outside capital, they nevertheless
made heir position clear that native manpower must not only
be used, but used at all levels, from top to bottom. Il would
be unnatural if these Islands sought otherwise.
WE MOST EARTHLY welcome business. We realize
how important business is to the community, and that It
should become, andremain, 4 vital Part Of the total life Of this
place. Yet, it would be tragic to see 4 misuse Of q basic prin-
cipIe, applicable everywhere else, and without which no bust
ness is really sound-to repeat: the effective and honest use Of
available manpower at all leve I there is hestancy, let It
end, FOR our people can, and will learn, and will # given full
opportunity, account favorably for themselves.
