S|owe Pupils 10 Return
To Glasses Monday
AS Parents End Strike

Parents of pupils at the Slowe
Elementary School will send theii
children back to classes Monday
ending a walkout protest against
crowded conditions at the school
Yesterday the parents of 242
pupils refused to send their chill
dren to class as a protest against
the institution of part-time in
struction at Slowe and against the
teaching of several grades in a
single room. Two pupils reported
for school but left after an hour
The demonstration was spon-
sored by the Slowe Parent Teach
er Association. The PTA has
scheduled a meeting tomorrow to
plan further moves in its fight to
improve conditions at Slowe.
Walkout Called Unlawful.
Meanwhile, Adelbert w. Lee
vice president of the Board OF
Education, branded the walkout
unlawful and asked Norman j
Nelson, acting school superin-
tendent. for a full report. School
Supt. Hobart M. Corning is in
New York attending an educators
conference.
Mr.. Lee said he also has asked
school attendance officers to in
vestigate and said that the parents
may have violated the compulsory
school attendance law, making
them liable to legal action.
Slowe, which has capacity of
100 pupils, is now serving 244 chill
dren. Last Wednesday the Board
of Education ordered one part
time class created at the school
for first-graderS.
Rejected by School Board.
The Slowe pTA has been de-
lmanding immediate relief for the
overcrowded school. 1t asked that
colored pupils be allowed to attend
nearby white schools, which have
room for them. This proposal the
School Board rejected as well as
one that white school be trans
ferred to colored pupils.
School officials pointed out that
completion of six rooms on the
second floor of Slowe by February
| would relieve the overcrowding
The PTA has asked the School
Board and DR.. Corning to recon-
slider the Wednesday action.

10000 Wardens
Proposed for
Civil Defense
Six Major Divisions
To Use Geography
Of Police Precincts

Civil defense officials today had
a territorial skeleton" on which
to build the proposed 10000
strong warden service.
The six major divisions of the
service, Brig. Gen. Gordon r.
Young, Engineer Commissioner,
announced after a meeting yes
terday, will be defined geo.
graphically by police precinct
boundaries.
Unoer them will come some 70
areas, of which citizens and civic
associations may be the nuclei;
next, about 400 zones. and finally.
up to 1000 sectors. The latter
will correspond roughly to city
blocks.
Max Schwartz, who was a chief
air raid warden in the last war,
will head the warden service, as
previously contemplated.
Plans Group Work.
Mr.. Schwartz plans to have a
meeting soon with citizen group
representatives to work out a
basis for subdivision and how
various groups may work with the
warden service. The representa-
tives would include those of the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions and the Federation of Civic
Associations. &
The chief warden also must as
semble his own staff and schedule
a meeting with Acting Civil De-
fenSe Director John Fondahl on
such subjects as training, leca-
ton of Offices and any need for
paid personnel or equipment which
should be included in the 1852
budget.
Mr.. Schwartz estimated the
warden service will include some
10000 persons on a 24-hour basis.
Gen. Young said it will be impor-
tant to use women for other than
heavy manual work.
Division Boundaries.
The division boundaries are as
follows: Division A-The area of
Precincts l., 3, 4; B-Precincts 2,
10 and 13; C-Precincts S and 9;
ID-Precincts 6 and IL; E-Pre-
cincts Z and 8; F-Precincts II
and ID.
Gen. Young stressed that use
of the precinct areas does not
imply that the precincts have
anything to do with the warden
service, which is independent Of
the police. t-'t
The sectors may include two or
three city blocks in thinly popu-
lated areas, while there may be
several sectors per block in large
apartment house areas, Gen.
Young added.
The subdivision of the warden
service is designed to limit as
much as possible the number of
people reporting to any one boss"
Those attending yesterdays
meeting included Herbert P. Lee
man, president of the Federation
of Citizens Associations, and
Woolsey Hall, president of the
Federation of Civic Associations.

Skunk and Hosts for 10 Hours
Part Company With Relief

town, however, the Hartings and
their neighbors took matters in
to their own hands.
Bits of lettuce, beef and cat
nip. dangled from string through
the window well grating, failed to
lure the skunk through a narrow
opening in the grating. And the
next effort was downright catas-
trophic.
Hoping to smoke out the animal,
Joseph F. Thank, of So Farragut
place, set fire to an oil-soaked
rag and pushed it toward the cap
tive.
! Until that moment, the skunk
had behaved with admirable re-
straint. In a few brief seconds,
he wiped out all his good con-
duct. @
William Pullin, who comes as
close to being skunk expert as
anything the Animal Rescue
League had to offer. saved the
day. Lassoing the irate skunk
with a thin rope, he led it to
freedom. Once outside, the skunk
took over.
Breaking the small rope. the
animal dashed through shrubbery
and up the block, with at least a
dozen neighbors in pursuit. There
was an anxious moment as he
tried the rear door of another
house. But, reversing his field, he
headed-unpursued - toward the
cemetery.
/ Back at 81 Farragut place, the
only sound was a faint kissing
noise.
| Mr.. Harting was spraying his
house-and himself-with a pow
erf,ll-Smelling insect spray.

Divers Find Evidence
|0fWreekage, Resume
Search for 7 Planes

Navy divers today resumed their
river-bottom search for the bodies
of two Air Force pilots whose
F-86 Sabre jet fighters plunged
into the fog-shrouded Potomac
near Quantico, Va, Wednesday.
BY early afternoon, Marines
aboard Quantico crash boat had
reported finding an Air Force

found, would be badly dismem-
bered.

area designated by fishermen who
saw the two planes knife into
the water, the divers yesterday
brought up bits of wreckage posi-
lively identified as parts of the
fast, swept-wing fighter craft.
One of the pieces, 2 feet long
and 18 inches wide, carried the
Indian Head insignia of the 335th
Fighter Intercepter Squadron at
Andrews Air Force Base. A ma
chine-gun barrel, a piece of metal
tubing and other scraps were
brought up late yesterday before
darkness and swift currents halted
the salvage operation.
Scattered Wreckage Expected.
1t. j. H. Mcdonald, 48, assistant
officer in charge Of the Naval Gun
Factory's deep-sea diving school,
who is in charge Of the river
search, said he did not anticipate
finding the wrecks @all in one
piece. We know the stuff will be
scattered all over the place." he
said.
A third F-86. flying in forma-
ton with the other two, hit the
water hard enough to cause con-
troll damage. The plane crash
landed almost Is miles away near
Nokesville, Va. The pilot, 1t.
Luther c. Barcus, escaped with a
fractured leg and severe cuts. al
though his plane was demolished
The other two pilots were listed
as Its. Cornelius P. Mills, jr., %,

Va, and Joseph w. Russell, 25
Of 3134 Parkway terrace, Suitland
drive, Md.
Made Left Turn.
The three planes. flying back to
Andrews from a routine training
flight, were making a left turn
and losing altitude in preparation
for landing when they dropped
into the heavy. three-top fog
cloaking the river.
Seven fishermen, Frank James
Robert, Carl and Levi Newton
Sam and Charles Bourne ano
Henry Williams, all of the Belle
Plains Va) area, reported seeing
the planes tear out of the fog
zone of them seemed to fly
through the spray Of the others,
the fishermen said.
Navy Diver Thomas E. Dinan
"a, of Bellmore, N. Y, a boat
swain's mate, brought up the first
pieces of wreckage from the
muddy bottom, 16 feet under
water, about $3.50 pm. Earlier,
Marines from Quantico had
brought up evidence with grap-
pling hooks.
The search site is about 10
miles south of the Quantico Ma
rine base between Marlboro Point
on the Virginia side and Thomas
Point in Maryland and roughly
across from where Potomac Creek
and Acquia Creek flow into the
river.
Boatswain's Mate Dinan was
under water continuously from
$3.50 to 5 pm, and reported the
water so muddy that he had to
search by feel only. Shortly before
dark, another diver, G. L. Mccoy
of Bristol, Va, went down, but
increasing currents halted his
search.
