Flames Rout
Elderly Poir,
Five Children

Five young children and an
elderly man and woman es-
capped injury yesterday when an
Alexandria home caught fire,
apparently from a defective
chimney. Flames burned out
the whole interior within
minutes.
The woman, Mrs. Mary Lee,
76, was caring for the children
in her home at 1913 johnson
lane when burning embers be-
gan falling from the attic to
the first floor and quickly set
the house on fire.
Relatives said that Mrs. Lee
collapsed from excitement after
throwing water on the fire in
an unsuccessful effort to stop
1t. She was treated at Alex
andria Hospital and released.
A roomer, John Henry, u,
escaped from the attic, which
had been made into q bedroom,
when the fire began.
The children in the house
were Glen. 4; Linda, 5, and
Barbara Ann Snow, 2, and Bar
bara, 8, and Eldridge williams,
Z, all Of whom lived with Mrs.
Lee.
Mrs. Lee, Mr.. Henry and the
children, who lost everything
they owned in the fire, were
expected to stay with relatives
In Alexandria and Arlington,
according to Mrs. Richard Mel
son, Mrs. Lees sister-in law
who lives near the destroyed
house.
Among the items lost was
more than 5000 that Mrs. Lee
had as the treasurer of the

Proposals which would radi-

ton teachers were Endorsed yes
terday by two influential
County Board members.
The recommendations would
establish three separate pay
scales. the highest of which
would enable distinguished"
Instructors eventually to earn
as much as $14,400 annually.
Teachers who are not yet
considered distinguished" but
Who after several years demon
strate competence and willing
ness to stay in Arlington could
receive up to $10,600, or $l2,-
800 if they have an advanced
degree.
Beginning and transient in
structors, as we'll as those who
otherwise fail to qualify for the
superior salaries, would be paid
according to the existing basic
scale which ranges from $4,700
to $1,000.

Miss Esther Lazarus city welfare director said 619

paying some of the moving ex-
Ipenses of especially desirable
teachers whom it wants to lure
away from other systems and
that it thinks about bearing
much of the cost of large
amounts of life insurance fol-
instructors who are fathers.
In a preface to his recon-
mendations, Mr.. Ecker-Racz
said:
Arlington has the means to
support a dramatic improve
ment in its school program
and its ability to do so can
be expected to continue to i'm
prove. Its school-age popula-
ton is leveling off while its
tax revenues are rising even
without tax rate increases be-
cause taxable wealth con-
tinues to rise. This trend can
be expected to continue as the
population pressure in the ma
tional capital area exerts a
persistent upward pressure on
Arlington real estate values,
forcing the young, low income
families with children further
from the city and replacing
them with higher income, older
families"
However, Mr.. Ecker-Recz as
serted that in recent years
Arlington has been losing out
standing teachers more rapidly
than it has been replacing
them.
Present Method Wasteful
He also asserted that the ne
cessity of having to hire 200
or 800 requirements annually
is both financially and educa-
tionally wasteful.
Supt. Ray Reid is considering
the plan and probably will give
the School Board his opinion
of 1t In January.
School Board members James
Stockard and Elizabeth Camp
bell say they concur with the
philosophy behind it. Other
school officials indicate that
they think the plan is both de-
sirable and practical, but that
putting it into effect will be
difficult.
Its fate doubtless will be in
fluenced by the positions
adopted by the teachers them
selves.

U. S. to Seek McShone

By CECIL HOLLAND
Star Staff Writer

Government attorneys yes
terday were reported ready to
move at once to have Missis-
Sippi charges against Chief
United States Marshal James
P. McShane transferred to the
Federal District Court at Ok
ford, Miss.
Mr.. McShane is understood
to have been named in a
secret indictment by the La
fayette County grand jury in
Oxford on charges growing out
of the rioting at the University
of Mississippi September 80.
Two indictments were re-
turned by the grand jury Fri
day but the names of the per-
sons were withheld until they
could be arrested or proceedings
started against them.
Report Soldier Charged
The second indictment re-
portedly named a military police
private from Fort Dix, N. j.,
who was among the Federal
troops ordered to Oxford after
the rioting. Several weeks after
the rioting the soldier was &C
cused of firing his rifle into a
dormitory during a student
demonstration against Negro
student James H. Meredith's
presence on the campus.
The grand jury blamed Mr..
McShane and Federal marshals
"for agitating and provoking
violence" on the Ole Miss
campus when the Negro student
was brought there to be
enrolled.
No notice has been received
by the Justice Department of
the indictments. Legal author
tiles, however, were quick to
point out that neither Mr.. Nc

faced any prospects of being
tried in the Mississippi State
courts.
