Boothe Tells
Of Risks in
School Fight

State Senator Armistead L.
Boothe said today he has fought
for public education in Virginia
despite the threat Of "ignominy
and ostracism."
In q speech prepared for an
Alexandria Kiwanis Club lunch
con, Mr.. Boothe also declared
that his opponent for the Dem
ocratic nomination for lieuten-
ant governor, State Senator
Mills E. Goodwin, was zone of
the chief architects Of school
closing laws"
During the past seven years,
have fought (for public edu-
cation), have made political
sacrifices on its behalf, have
riSked misunderstanding, cal
umny and for a couple Of years
ignominy and ostracism," Mr..
Boothe said.
During those same years, ("
he added, my opponent rode
the crest Of the wave of massive
resistance. He became the great
mouthpiece Of school closing in
the State Of Virginia :"
Mr.. Boothe also urged in
creased spending for industrial
development, suggesting that
as much as $40 million might
be needed over a two-year
period to launch an intensive
industrial development pro-
gram. About 81 million was
appropriated last year for such
a program. he said. :
"On the question of indus
trial development, I have the
realization of what this
can mean to Virginia" he said,
adding: II have seen what
local effort can do at the Shir-
ley Industrial Park In Fairfax
County and in countless other
industrial and commercial
ventures throughout the area -

Alexandra
Land, Sewer
Swap Voted

An $4,000 storm sewer may
be constructed by the city Of
Alexandria on privately-owned
industrial land in a swap for
land for street widening.
In return for the storm sew
er, the city would get about
5000 square feet Of land. Later.
it could get about 5000 square
feet more.
The agreement was made be-
tween the city and Eugene
Stein and Eugene Schonberger
Tuesday night. Mr.. Stein ex-
planned that the agreement
amounted to a trade Of $4,000
worth of industrial land for
an $4,000 sewer.
The 105,000 square foot tract
was appraised by the city this
year at $36,150. All city ap-
praisals are at roughly IS per
cent of fair market value.
This would put the true
value at approximately $42,-
525-about 40 cents a square
foot. The land value would
have to be about $2.25 a square
foot to equal the $4,000 price
Of the sewer.
The city council approved
the agreement by a vote Of 6
to 0. Mayor Leroy S. Bendheim
disqualified himself because
Mr.. Schonberger is a member
Of his law firm.
City Manager E. G. Heatwole
and Public Works Director

er. Eugene w. Zimmerman.
councilman-elect, asked that
the matter be deferred until
the July / meeting, when the
new council takes office. Today,
he said he had asked the City
Attorney to check validity Of
the move and to hold up COM
pletion Of the transaction until
the study is made.
Besides giving land under the
agreement, the owners also
would grant two easements for
storm sewer construction and
one for public purposes " and
would install curb and gutter
on their side Of South Early
street and Wheeler avenue.

Arlington 6. o. P. Picks Candidates
BY JOHN BARRON
star Staff Writer

Arlington Republicans last
night chose Kenneth Ludwig
as their County Board candi-
date and prepared for the first
time since 1857 to fight for
every seat at stake in a local
election.
Mr.. Ludwig, a 39-year-old
businessman, defeated retired
Comdr. Harvey hampshire, 146
to 106, for the only contested
nomination at a mass meeting
which attracted an unexpect-
edly large crowd Of about $50.
Nominated without opposi-
ton for the county's three
places in the House Of Dele
gates were John g. Epami-
honda, Alvin B. Smell and
Donald Whyte.
A parade Of speakers led by
Representative Broyhill, State
Republican Chairman /. Lee
Potter and Chairman Robert
Gerber, exhorted cheering party
members to make a maximum
effort this year to break the
Democratic hold on legislative
seats and to defeat the Arling-
tonians for a Better County
which controls the County
Board.
Noting that former Vice
President Nixon received 50 per
cent Of the votes cast In Ar
lington last year and that Mr..
Broyhill won 56 per cent, Mr..
Gerber declared, This is Re-
publican territory"
He accused the ABC Of run
ming the county by "babble,
bombast and pickering" and in
dicated the Republicans strenu-
ously viii try to exploit the
bitter internal differences which
have split the coalition.
Mr.. Ludwig said: "Our pres
ent ABC County Board says II
hasn't raised the real estate
taxes. I say this is an out-and-
out lie when you and I know
that year after year we pay
more money because Of an in
creased appraisal Of our prop
erty and homes"
The three House Of Dele
gates nominees selected last
night will oppose Democratic
incumbentS Harrison Mann,
William Winston and Mrs
Kathryn Stone in the Novem-
ber election. Mr.. Ludwig will
vie with Democrat William
Wetmore and ABC representa-.
tive Roye Lowry for the one
County Board vacancy to be
filled in November.

Wall Was
Vulnerable
BY the Associated Press

Senator Scott, Republican of
Pennsylvania, said last night
East Berlin defectors have told
him the wall erected by Com
munists in Berlin could have
been knocked down when first
put up without causing a major
conflict.
Senator Scott, just back from
four weeks in Western Europe,
said in an interview recorded
for television and radio use in
Pennsylvania that the Western
allies could have and should
have knocked the wall down."
II interviewed some of these
German Vopos-the East Ger
man military police-who de-
fected to the West" Senator
Scott said.
1--WE learned from them in
direct questioning that had we
moved in to smash that wall
down, their orders were to with
draw and not to fire unless
we had fired on government
buildings which they call state
buildings
"And I also happen to know
that only one out of four of
those soldiers had bullets in
his gum" Senator Scott con-
tinued. "And therefore, we coud
have done it,"
Many leaders including
Mayor Willy Brandt of West
Berlin, Senator Scott said, be-
lieve removal Of the wall di-
V1dlng East and west Berlin
should be a condition of any
settlement Of the Berlin con-
troverSy.
"To my mind, this wall is
a slap in the face to the dig
nifty of mankind" Senator
Scott said. II have never been
so personally angry and so per-
sonally willing to help claw
something down as I was when
I saw what the Communists
have done to enslave the free

Woman Sues
In Dog Attack

A Washington woman has
asked District Court to award
her $4,000 in damages for in
juries she claims she suffered
when a police dog attacked har
after jumping a fence last
August II.
The complaint against the
District government is the first
damage suit filed in a court
involving a police dog.
District officials in the police
department and in the Corpor-
ton CounSels office expressed
surprise yesterday at the filing
of the suit, saying that Louise
Kinsey Barr of 1899 Park road
NV. had made no complaint
to them before going to court.
And one District official. said,
We've never had any trouble
with these dogs"
He pointed out that the dogs
are trained to attack human
beings only on command, and
the complaint filed in the
court yesterday charged that
the dog jumped a fence from
a yard where it was allowed
to roam unattended"
The woman claimed that she
was walking her dog when the
police dog attacked her and
her pet. throwing her to the
pavement and injuring her in
the chest and midsection.
The woman refused to COM
ment when she was asked by

Alabama Judge Denies
Courtroom Inteqrotion

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec.
81 (AP) P).-Attorneys for the
NAACP opened a hearing on a
State court injunction today
with a demand for integration
of the courtroom and a COM
plant that Negroes should be
referred to as Mr." and Mrs. !"
in court records.
Circuit Judge Walter B.
Jones, who will decide whether
to make a five-year-old injunc-
ton against the NAACP per-
manent, refused to order the
courtroom integrated. He also
declined to instruct the court
reporter to refer to Negroes as
Mr." and Mrs" in tranScrib-
ing the record.
The injunction, which pro-
hibits the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People from doing business in
Alabama, was issued by Judge
Jones in June, 1856, as a tempo
rary restraining order and is
still in effect.
Ordered by High Court
Today's hearing was ordered
by the United States Supreme
Court to hear the complaint
against the NAACP on its
merits and decide what to do
with the injunction.
Robert Carter, a Negro at
torney for the NAACP, told
Judge Jones at the outset of
the hearing that Negro spec
tators were seated apart from
white persons in the courtroom.
He asked the court to permit
visitors to occupy any seat.
Judge Jones overruled the
request and said, I'VE will fol-
low the customs of the State"
Mr.. Carter also complained
that the transcript of testimony
from earlier proceedings did
not refer to Negroes as "Mr."
or Mrs" as it did to white
witnesses.
Much of the early part of
the hearing was devoted to ar
