The ocean temperature is unusually warm this year, and many vacationers were swimming by Memorial Day, a good six weeks ahead of normal. Sunday and yesterday, the weather was bright and chill, “great for everything but swimming and sunbatting,” Ocean City officials said. They reported one unusual fact: Advance reservations for July 4 are lagging a little, probably because visitors figured they wouldn’t have a chance of finding a room on the popular holiday. At Virginia Beach, officials said the weather would have no long-range effect on business. "It's a bad storm that drives people away," one official said. "They stick around during a chilly spell. There are still plenty of things for them to do."

Mr. Hug was ordered to hire an expert to study the bridge and a firm of Norton attorneys was engaged to help in the investigation. The accident occurred when the 3-foot-wide bridge tilted, dumping the victims some 30 feet into the rock-filled Powell River. The tilting was caused by a support cable giving way.

He said the Warren County Cloaks Result of Pupil Poll FRONT ROYAL, Va., June 16 — (AP) — The Warren County School Board has decided not to release the results of a poll indicating how many white children intend to enter Warren County High School this fall. Q. O. Gasque, county school superintendent, said today the board decided not to make the results public in the best interest of the community. His only indication of the outcome of the poll was a statement that "the school board still plans to open Warren County High School next September." Mr. Gasque said 711 families were ill. Melpar Plans For Expansion Residents near Melpar, Inc., last night protested to the Fairfax County Planning Commission about the proposed expansion of the electronic firm's plant. Melpar, located off Arlington Boulevard, has asked permission to build a three-story building west of its present plant and to expand its parking lot from 1,000 to 2,000 car spaces. Residents of Pine Springs Civic Association, led by Maj Oliver W. Cairns, said that, if the plant is allowed to expand, at least a 90-foot buffer zone should be maintained between the plant and the residential area. The present buffer zone is 270 feet. Cairns also asked that a new road be built from Melpar to Lee highway so that traffic would not use residential streets. The Pine Springs Parent-Teacher Association protested possible increased traffic on streets near the community's schools. Supporting the expansion were the County Chamber of Commerce, the Mount Vernon Lee Chamber of Commerce, the Fairfax County Economic and Industrial Development Committee, and management of the Corners Shopping Center. The planning commission deferred action until June 22, and J. M. Jacobs reported that Gould told police he got a cartridge from the glove compartment and a 22-caliber rifle from the car's trunk and fired it through a window as he approached the front of the car. The victim was shot in the back, police said. They said Gould then drove him to the Lorton Reformatory and surrendered. Mr. Gould was pronounced dead of a bullet through the heart by Dr. Claude Cooper, Fairfax County medical examiner. Gould was freed under $10,000 bond to await a preliminary hearing in Fairfax County Court on June 29. Police said he is unmarried and unemployed.

Arlington School Board has the ultimate responsibility for signing the pupils to public schools. The United States Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals directed the county school board in March to re-examine the applications of the 26 Negroes. The board must report its findings to Judge Bryan by June 22. O. Fred Poteet, the board's executive secretary, announced his resignation to return to a position in the State Department. - 1 ment of Education. He has been secretary of the board since June, 1958. He will be succeeded by Birchell S. Hilton on July 1. Mr. Hilton, administrative assistant to the secretary, has been in charge of the Arlington branch office since August, 1957, representing 800 to 900 children were questioned. The high school, only secondary facility in the county, was closed the first semester last year after a Federal Court ordered the admission of Negroes. It reopened in February with only 21 negroes in attendance. Some 780 white children remained in private segregated classes. Mr. Gasque said 19 high school teachers have signed contracts for next year, compared with a faculty of 42 last year. He added, however, that "some others" will sign contracts before the fall term, and the school will have enough teachers. The superintendent also said he would ask the county supervisors to appropriate public school funds for the first July-September quarter of the coming fiscal year as if the high school were in full operation. He said any surplus would be carried over into subsequent quarters to take care of teachers’ salaries should the board cut off public school appropriations. The board of supervisors has voted to appropriate funds on a quarterly basis. A high school for Negroes will open in the fall, but there is no estimate as to how this will affect Negroes who attended Warren High. Back Almond On Schools Labor Told RICHMOND, June 16 (AP). —A bitter foe of the Byrd Democratic organization urged Virginia labor today to give "whole-hearted and enthusiastic support" "To Gov. Almond's present stand in the State's school integration crisis." Since the end of January, when he publicly abandoned a policy of massive resistance, Gov. Almond "has been facing actualities and talking sense to the people," Francis Pickens Miller of Charlottesville told the State AFL-CIO convention here. Mr. Miller, who ran unsuccessfully for the governorship in 1948 and for Senator Byrd's seat in the United States Senate in 1952, said that before Gov. Almond learned what the score is, the State was passing through "one of the sorriest periods in Virginia's long and honorable history." During the period, the massive resistance, Mr. Miller said, "the rest of the South received from Virginia misinformation about the nature of our Federal Government and the character of the problems confronting us. It received recommendations for a policy of 'interaction' and 'assive resistance' which well-informed men knew to be utterly unrealistic and misleading." Never in Virginia's history, Mr. Miller said, "has leadership stooped so low as in the period when the State's policy was one of massive resistance. The convention yesterday adopted a resolution opposing those individuals which would destroy our free public schools."

VICTIM OF PROGRESS Concrete Shuts Off Cherry Tree's Life Day by day, the Japanese cherry tree next to the Bethesda Post Office is bowing to the march of progress. The 20-year-old tree, literally in the pink of condition during the spring, was surrounded by concrete about six weeks ago. ago to make a parking lot for mail-delivery motor scooters. Now its top branches are bare. And there is every indication that the tree will not live to see another spring. Oreydon S. Tolson, head of Montgomery County's tree department, shook his head. "That tree is suffering from too much concrete," he diagnosed. "It spent all its life with its root area exposed to sun and air and rain, and now it can’t survive with only a few feet of earth open around it. Furthermore, it main roots were cut when the parking lot was graded." The story of the cherry tree’s impending doom was brought to light by The Star in April. Late residents rallied to its defense, and the Post Office Department, overwhelmed by public opinion, hastily redesigned its parking lot to leave room for the tree. James T. Nicholson, head of Nicholson Engineering Co., Liquor Revenues Rise in Virginia RICHMOND, June 16 (AP). —Net profits of the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board increased 18 3/4 percent in the first three months of 1959, compared with a corresponding period for the previous year. State Auditor J. Gordon Bennett said Monday profits were up from $3,489,378 in the first quarter of 1958 to $4,144,110 in the same period this year. He said the increase could be attributed to more sales and a price hike authorized by the General Assembly in its last regular session, which is doing the construction work at the Post Office, said he has been keeping his eye on the tree because he feared it might not survive. "Our tree is Sick," he said. "I did some research about cherry trees." When the parking lot question first came up, I tried to give that tree to several Government agencies but they all refused on the basis that cherry trees only live 20 to 25 years. However, we left a 6-foot opening in the concrete, with the view that if this tree has to be removed, the Post Office can plant a young cherry tree that can acclimate itself to the conditions.
