Fin]etters Acquire Washington House;
President Handles Protocol Problem
By Betty EeoIe'

Secretary of the Air Force and
Mrs. Thomas Finletter have final
ly decided where they will hang
their hats in Washington next
winter. They have leased the
Wayne Chatfield- -Taylors' house
on Twenty-second street just
above the fountain and steps that
separate Decatur place and S
street. They will not move in un-
til autumn when they will close
their house in Bar Harbor. The
Chatfleld = Taylors haven't tn e
vaguest idea at this point what the
number on their front door will
be next year but whatever it is,
they expect it to be in Washing
ton.
Speaking of front doors, the key
not to the city but ito every door
in Washington" was presented to
Ecuador Ambassador Dillon at a
dinner the other evening. 1t was
a blank gold key with an embossed
gold st. Christopher's medal as its
bow-a snappy going-away pres
ent from Margaret Cowell and the
Raymond Wilmottes, who are urg-
ing the popular envoy and his wife
to return pronto. They gave So
|phie Dillon a stuffed French
poodle, her favorite dog. and a
miniature memory book with gold
pencil attached. Every one was
asked to sign it on their respective
birthdates which means that "a
people will be waiting for a card
from Ecuador during the coming
year.

To Equalize Negro

in Mississippi

JACKSON. Miss. (Atlas) About
half of Mississipi's population
is Negro; and the Senate Finance
Committe has reached a major
decision to provide an extra So
600 1000 to help equalize Negro
and white education. Sen. j. Kyle
committee chairman and legisla-
tive conference leader on equali-
cation has been comforting with
Finance and Education Commit
leaders of both houses. Gov. Field
ing Wright has been sitting on the
conferences.
Three million dollars would be
used to start lifting Negro teach
ers salaries on a par with white
pay; and one million would be
used to equalize transportation
facilities for Negro students. Two
million dollars would be taken
from the States s13;500 1000 sur
plus for immediate construction
and improvement of Negro schools.
There will be some funds to boost
the salaries of white teachers; but
the emphasis will be on raising
the standards of Negro educa-
ton in the state.
