with a multitude of trifles. A
multitude ranging from squirrel
seasons to how to tell time. We
have spent untold hours de-
batting routine, run-of-the mill
legislation, but never once have
We even begun to consider what
to do about this troublesome,
vexing and fundamental ques-
ton.
II know this problem has dis
turbed many of you; know it
is being said that when the
governor decides = that when
the court acts-that when the
people of Prince Edward County
are ready-then we will move.
But. gentlemen, I ask you to
look at the State constitution
again. Upon whom Is the bur-
den placed? The burden is on
the General Assembly-not the
governor-not the courts-not
the people Of Prince Edward
County-but upon the General
Assembly of Virginia"
Amendment Has Teeth
He added, This amendment
has teeth in it. 1t tells Prince
Edward to get into step with
the rest of Virginia"
In the voice vote that was
taken on his amendment, Mr..
Webb's was the only one heard
to support it.
Voting against passage Of the
budget bill as a whole. were
Delegates Lucas D. Phillips of
Loudoun, and Lacy Putney of
Bedford, both Democrats, and
Glenn Burklund, Republican Of
Fairfax. Mr.. Phillips and Mr..
Putney are members Of the
House Finance Committee who
voted against Gov. Harrison's
income tax withholding bill
which is needed to keep the
budget in balance by some SGT
million.
Mr.. Burklund assigned an
other reason for his negative
vote. He said the Appropriations
Committee had cut some $780,
900 for civil defense which
figured in his campaign for
election last year.
He said that unless funds are
provided to meet Federal STAN
dards for communications
equipment and control centers,
Federal assistance will be elimi-
mated.
''In fact" Mr.. Burklund
added. much of the aid to the
State and localities will be
placed in jeopardy"

RICHMOND, Mar. 1.-The
House today sent to the Sem
ate a budget bill totaling STA
billion for the next two years
after turning down an amend
ment by Fairfax Delegate Jonn
c. Webb to force the reopening
Of public schools in Prince Ed
ward County.
Mr.. Webb warned, I'VE are
sowing the seeds of our own
destruction" by failing to meet
what he called a State consti-
tutional requirement that vir-
. ginia maintain a system Of free
public schools.
The budget bill, as passed. by
a vote Of SO to 3 yesterday, was
only about S. million lower
than the total proposed by for
mer Gov. j. Lindsay Almond,
jr. 1t is keyed to a State in
come tax withholding law,
which is up for House approvA
today or tomorrow, and a two
year extension of temporary"
taxes enacted in 1860 on to-
bacco and alcoholic products.
Recommended Form
The bill was approved exactly
in the form recommended by
the House Appropriation Com
mittee whose chairman.

another $4,000, and employ
ment Of more instructors will
bring the overall increase for
salaries to $1.1 million.
The net increase in the direct
costs of educating the children
will be SLIT, 900, about what
they have been in past years.
Cost Partially Offset
It is partially offset by re-
ductions of $49O,OOO in funds
for capital improvements, $64,-
900 in insurance payments and
economies anticipated in main
tenance.
Superintendent Ray Reid, to
whom the board gave a $1,000
raise along with its commenda-
tion, said the budget envisions
no major educational innova-
tions, but is one with which he
Is satisfied.
The budget now goes to the
County Board which has con-
siderable authority to revise it
If it chooses and complete
power to determine whether
there will be a tax increase.

Morse uctic
Bors Vote on
Penalty Bill

Senate plans to act on a.
District bill to abolish manda-
tory death sentences evaporated
today as Senator Morse, Demo-
crat of Oregon. put the heat
on.
The Oregonian insisted on
a roll call vote. He gave notice
that he planned to talk for
hours, possibly days, to win
support for his substitute. He
would end even discretionary
capital punishment and send
flrSt-degree murderers and rap
lists to prison without chance
OF probation or parole, he said.
This was enough to postpone
a floor debate. Majority Leader
Mansfield of Montana already
had promised absent Senators
there would be no roll call votes
today or tomorrow.
Monday is the earliest the
Senate now can vote.
Floor Leader Hartke, Demo-
crat of Indiana, has said he
was making every effort" to-
clear the calendar promptly of
the District bill, passed by the
House last July.
Senator Morse's interest in
the substitute has DELAYED
scheduled Senate action for
two weeks.
When the measure is called
up next week, Senator Morse
plans to move for recommit-
ment to the District Committee
His substitute never has had
a hearing, and proponents of
the bill on the floor planned to
use this argument against the
Morse proposal.
So the Morse strategy is to
try to organize complete hear
ingS, not only on his amend-s
ment, but the whole capital
punishment question, calling
expert criminologists and pc
nologists to testify.
Capital punishment is a
lively issue in Oregon, where
the Senator is campaigning for
! election this fall. l

Two-Cent Tax Rise for Arlington
Called For in School Board Budoet

Proposing the smallest budget
increase in a decade, the Airing
ton School Board at midnight
approved a $16.5 million spend
ing program which would force
property tax rates up 2 cents
1t grants instructors 5000 to
5000 more than they are re-
ceiving now, but in all provides
outlays of only $3.50. 900 more
than will be made this school
year.
Evidence that a majority of
the board in the future wants
to concentrate upon rewarding
superior teachers emerged as
Laszlo Ecker-Racz, Mrs. Ruth
Cox and James tockard
blocked a late attempt to pass
a $300-$700 general pay raise.
Expanding Tax Base Noted
DR.. Barnard Joy advocated it
after learning that because the
county's expanding tax base
will supply the schools with
some $500.000 additional rev.
enue next year, the budget
can be financed with a small
increment in real and personal
property levies. +
Mr.. Ecker-Racz declared his
opposition did not result from
objection to higher taxes and
that Arlington can afford to
put substantially more money
into its educational program, if
1t gets a better educational
product"
But he asserted that across
the-board salary increases no
longer meet the requirement"
Of recruiting and retaining what
he later referred to as an out
standing corps of master
teachers" whose members would
enrich the instruction in every
school of the county.
Commenting upon DR.. joys
proposal, which Chairman Eliz-
abeth Campbell supported, Mrs.
Cox said she agreed with vir-
tually all of Mr.. Ecker RACES s
remarks and added:
II think it is a very feeble
excuse to raise the teacher
salaries more just because the

tian. But in due course, he
will pass on because the ideas
he expresses are wrong. Such
a political philosophy won't
stand the test of time"
Delegate Edward M. Hudgins
of Chesterfield said he realized
that an idea can't be outlaweo
by legislation. But, said Mr.
Hudgins, he objected ito them
using the Seal of Virginia and
inferring in some way that we
have given them a stamp OF
approval"
The third Arlington dele
gate, Mrs. Kathryn H. Stone,
said Rockwell's party had
"flagrantly abused" the priv
ilege Of doing business under
a Virginia charter.
Il can assure you" said Mrs.
Stone, that this man Rock
well will not go underground"
Fear Precedent
Opponents of the bill con-
tended earlier that the meas
ure set a bad precedent be-
cause other groups might also
prove unpopular to other iegis-
lators.
Mr.. Thomson failed Tuesday
night in an attempt to re-
refer the bill to committee,
which had reported the bill
twice. Such an action likely
would have been the end of the
bill because of the short time
left in the session.
Eighteen House members
were listed on the roll call as
not voting.
Virginia has an automatic
chartering provision.
Rockwell told a House COM
mittee considering the bill he
used the word Nazi to attract

Other Action
In other action, the Senate
yesterday killed a bill to liber-

food on Sundays. The vote was
26 to 13.
At present only food that
does not have to be cooked
can be sold, plus such exemp-
tions as Virginia hams.
State Senator E. o. McCue,
jr., of Charlottesville, chief pa
tron Of the bill, referred to the
RIGHTEOUSNESS" of the present
law by declaring:
Nov you can sell only the
rear leg of a hog but not his

AS originally introduced, the
McCue bill would have per-
mitted sales of all food plus
hygienic articles and items for
minor home repair. A commit
tee restricted the measure to
food items only.
Arlingt ton State Senator
Charles R. Fenwick offered an
amendment to restrict the sales
further to stores that employ
not more than three persons.
Mr.. Fenwick's amendment was
similar to legislation offered by

only the small grocer or small
chain store to sell on Sundays.
