Charge Denied
The can was picked up about
l20 miles from the scene of the
capSizing. Dutch officials said
it was possible Michael aban-
doned the cans after reaching
shore and they were washed
out to sea.
The Dutch commissioner for
Southern New Guinea, j. El-
brink Jansen, called a special
news conference yesterday to
deny that young Rockefeller
in his quest for artifscts, stirred
up headhunting among the
primitive ASmat tribes.
DR.. Jan Boendermaker, dep
uty governor of Dutch New
Guinea, had said in the Neither
lands that Michael had started
a revival Of the old headhunt-
ing practice by offering to pay
for skulls with axes priced by
the natives.
1T is not correct that Mike
wanted to buy skulls as a pri-
mary purpose" said Or. jan
sen. He may have tried to
buy them as part Of relic col
lecting. You see a beautiful OBJ
ject and you want 1t and you
try to buy it."
Mr.. Jansen said there may be
isolated instances of headhunt-
ing among some natives in the
interior but it is no longer q
general practice.
Mr.. Rockefeller had COL
lected half dozen skulls, but
Mr.. Jansen said they were

Function of Board

Function Of Board
In today's opinion the court
said the supervision Of schools
"is an essential function Of the
local board to determine
whether a particular property
is needed for school purposes
and the manner it shall be
used.
yet the effect of the statute
under review is to divest the
board of the exercise of that
function and lodge it in the
electorate"
The opinion, agreed upon by
all the justices, said the court
concurred with the position Of
the school board that the
statute IN question is invalid.
1T will be observed that the
operation of the statute is not
limited to property which the
board deems unnecessary for
school purposes and has been
abandoned" said the court.
"On the contrary the deter
mination of whether the prop
erty is so needed or should be
Abandoned is taken from the
board and lodged in the cleo
torate. Moreover, by virtue of
the statute, the board may be
divested of all school property,
even though devoted to a pres
ent use, by an electorate which
may disagree with its policies.
/ Clearly the board cannot ex-
ercise supervision of schools
entrusted to it If it may thus
be divested of property which
in its judgment is being used or
should be used for school pur-
poses"
/ The court cited an earlier
opinion in which it held one of
the massive resistance laws un-
constitutional. That law di-
vested the local school board of
the power and control over the
schools and lodged such au-
thority in the governor and
State board Of education.

Washington on Tuesday, November g. and voice opn-
ions when the Army Engineers present their plan for
high dam on the Potomac at River Bend at public
hearing.
It has been said by high government and private
business authorities that this is of the most foolish
projects ever envisioned by government agency.
If this dam any near this site is allowed to be
constructed it could do great damage to of the
best property in Montgomery County
1t would flood thousands of acres of magnificent
land.
It would force relocation and expensive bridging
of existing highways.
It would destroy picturesque part of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal and Potomac Gorge, now val
liable recreation area.
And it would establish a wall of water above
Washington to insure that people in air raid shelters,
during atomic attack, if such thing happens,
drowned like rats
We imagine the Engineers great dreams will d.
minsh before Congress is called upon to give its APP
prevail But it will take concentrated and intelligent
effort the part of hundreds of persons to convince
those determined to go forward with these projects
that they are Unnecessary for now or the future.
