heads over site acquisition.
Herbert M. Early, president
of the PTA group. said delay
in building the school has gone
on since 1856, crowding exist

closed session earlier this
month approved shifting nearly
500 eighth-graders from Ham
mond High School into Jeffer-
son and Stonewall Jackson

Mayor Bendheim said the
council held off on acquiring
the site because pupil-teacher

The National Capital Hous-

paper board walls in its 345-
unit Highland Dwellings project

In Arlington Elections

Mentioned among those who
might run for the General AS
sembly are Mr.. Gerber himself,
Attorneys Alphonse j. Audet,
jr., and John Epaminonda, and
Bennie Fletcher, vice chairman
OF the party Executive Com
mittee.
Mrs. Kathryn Stone, one of
the three Democratic delegates
to the General Assembly, is
being considered for a post in
the Kennedy administration
and thus might be unavailable
for the fall campaign.
The other two Democratic
delegates. Harrison Mann and
William Winston, are expected
to seek reelection.
Move is Surprise
Republicans mentioned as
possible candidates for the
County Board are Robert Peck,
a school board member; James
Berkey, president of the Cham
ber of Commerce; David Cor
don. former G. o. P. county
chairman, and Harvey Lamp
shire, an insurance man.
County politicians have ex-
pr + the Republicans
might enter a County Boarc
candidate. but their intention
to seek all three seats in the
General Assembly constitutes
something of a surprise.
Mr.. Corber'S declarations to-
day probably will complicate
current calculations of both
Democrats and the non-parti-
san coalition, Arlingtonians for
a Better County.

Board.
Party Reorganized
Mr.. Gerber reported that the
party quietly has reorganized
and recruited more than 500
precinct workers in prepara-

Republican leaders believe
they have a formidable poten-

gerald, who recently established
a law practice in Arlington
after being one of the young
est men ever to serve as an as
sistant United States attorney.

A SLAP DID TT

ASLAP III II!
A SLAP IN H face did it. 1t was right after the
twelfth round, and Emile Griffith, pride and Joy Of these
Islands, was not doing SO well against Benny Kid Paret,
world Welterweight champion. Convinced that the fight might
90 either way, Criffith's trainer planted a sound slap on the
face of his charge. That did it. Before the thirteenth round
was over, Paret had lost his crown-a solid left hook having m
tremendously put him squat on the seat Of his pants. Thus,
the Virgin Islands claims its new champion.
THE ODD WERE against Griffith. He had fewer
fights, less experience, and was not supposed to carry a punch
of any significance. On the other side, Paret was supposed
to absorb everything his opponent could throw, and was him
self capable Of a two-fisted attack from which few rivals had
escaped.
WORLD WELTERWEICHT champion Emile Griffith
is going to be a credit to his home, his profession, and every
thing he touches. No empty-headed puncher this, the new
champion is an ardent church-goer, and choir member. He
also sometimes teaches Sunday School in the St. James Mis-
sionary Church on West 10th Street in Harlem. He has been
a member Of that church since his arrival in New York IN
1850.
GRIFFITH is SLATED for a great career in the ring,
