Arlington
Buns Bias in
CountyJobs

A prohibition against racial
discrimination in the hiring or
promotion of Arlington County
employees was approved by the
county board yesterday.
The prohibition, to be i'm
posed through an amendment
to the count code. represents
no change in practice, however,
as County Manager Bert w,
johnson has already announced
a policy of non-discrimination
Upon his recommendation,
however, the county board
agreed to adopt the amend
formally to satisfy requirements
of the Department Of Health,
Education and Welfare.
Mr.. johnson reported that
HEW had advised Arlington
that "all State and local pro-
grams receiving Federal aid
must adopt legal provisions,
which reflect the national po-
licy Of equal opportunity with
out regard to race or national
origin"
The amendment provides that
any application or employe who
thinks he has been discrimi-
mated against because of race
or religion may appeal to the
Civil Service Commission.

tomorrow on a proposal to sep
arate the spending requests for

gress in January.

Petition Success Seen
On School Election Issue

Citizens circulating petitions
to place Montgomery County's
new primary school board elec-
ton law on referendum are
confident they can collect the
necessary signatures by next
week end.
Nine out of 10 persons con-
tacted are signing the petit
tions, according to Millard
Cass, president of the County
Council of Parent Teacher As
sociations. The group is spear
heading the referendum drive
to put the matter before voters
in November, 1864.
Mr.. Cass said petitions will
be turned in next week end
by PTA groups in each school
About 10000 signatures are
needed by June /.
The drive, he said, was
actually helped by a state
ment from the Council for
Better Education. William E
Yost, jr., CBE president, said
it is improper for the PTA
group to use dues money for
a political activity such as a
referendum, and that dismissal
of PTA Council officials should
be considered.
We had laready sent petit
ton blanks to 1872 PTA groups,
but after Mr.. Yost made his
statement we started getting
calls from volunteers asking to
help circulate petitions" Mr.

aims were cited yesterday by
Robert P. Smith, a board
member and a member Of the
Democrat State Central Com
mittee.
One objective is to obtain
constitutional home rule for the
county. If the voters approve
charter and a five-man board
in November, 1864, the board
has six months to write a pro-
posed charter. 1t will be voted
on in the 1866 general elections.
Drive riding Higher"
The other aim-"to make
others constructive contribu-
tions to the progress of the
county"-could refer to the
Project Marlboro reforms with
out a direct tie-in.
Mr.. Smith feels that the
home rule drive is riding a lot
higher now than five or six
months ago among politicians. "
The charterites are looking
for Endorsements and support
from the major political parties
next year.
They also are more optimistic
about the coming battle because
a strong ally-one experienced
in petition drives-for the first
time has pledged support. This
is the League of Women Voters

another fight for a charter.
The public meeting will be
held at 8 pm. in the District
Heights Elementary School.
Charterites narrowly lost
their drive last year for a home
rule form of Government.
The new drive to bring the
charter question to a referen-
dun in November, 1864, is just
beginning. Last week, a con-
stitution which calls for q
board Of directors of not less
than rs members, and an
elected chairman was approved
The constitution sets forth
a new procedure for selecting
non-partisan charter board
candidates.

To alert Brooklyn on what to expect from
their new pilot and his new boss, Robinson
asked Dresser, how do you plan to play
it?"
Dresser answered quickly. "You know
where home plate Is. Well get back there
as quick as you can" At Brooklyn this
logic worked, aided no little by employees
who included, in addition to Robinson,

BOSTON, June 19-Upstaging the Ma

NEW YORK, June l9.-The

games to go.
Ford beat the Senator's for

In 1861, Maris' record homer

homers against the Senators.
Last year Washington pitchers

year he has touched the Sena-
tors hurlers for five of his IL.
In the last ga seasons Maris
has hit los homers. If he hit
all teams in the ratio he has
hit the Senators. Roger would
have I'll homers for the period.

homers two years off Pete

The Senators did manage to

night. He gave up seven hits
in six innings, walked two and
was behind a number Of hitters.
But he had commanding, SO
lead after six innings. so Man.
ager Ralph Houk gave Whitley
an early goodnight.
However, Whitley stuck
around long enough to win his
ninth of the season against
three defeats. 1t also was his

80 against the Senators two
years ago and 40 last year, has
beaten them twice this season.

Referee Steps In

Referee Tommy Little
stepped in. The crowd sat in
silence as he declared Clay the
winner on a technical knock
out after one minute Is Sec
onds Of the fifth round -
exactly 20 seconds earlier than
Cassius had forecast.
Thus Clay had pulled off
another prophecy. But he had
a moment or two of worry on
the canvas before he did it.
The Louisville Lip, who en-
tered the ring for the sched-
uled fight wearing a crown,
appeared anything but kingly
in the first round when Cooper
swarmed over him like a man
fighting off bees.
But Clay Strengthened out In
the second round and the OUT
door crowd Of $4,000 saw a fast,
quick-punching heavyweight.
The clown in him was gone
when he got in trouble.
Late in the fourth round
Cooper caught Clay flush on
the chin with a solid left hook
and Cas- went down heavily
for a count Of three before the
bell.
Cass admitted In his dress
ing room that the punch
numbed him but commended he
would have been up without
the bell.
But, he said, Cooper Is the
best fighter ever met. He's
really a great fighter and you
can't take anything away from
him. He shook me plenty. He
shook me every time he hit
me-"

Cassius said he was ready TO
fight Liston. IF the price Is
right" Nilon stepped up.

And the price viii be right"
The cocky Cassius declared
that "the ugly bear will fall In

Nilon said he wants 70 put

would not speculate about q
