Tuition Rate Increased
In Public Schools for
Non Resident Pupils

Tuition rates for nonresident
students attending the District
public schools have been increased
by the Board of Education.
Meeting yesterday, the school
board adopted the new rates for
the school year beginning this
fall.
The new tuition rates, for one
semester, are as follows:
Teachers colleges, $173.50; SEN
t ior high schools, $14450; voca-
tional high schools, $166.50; junior
| high schools, $99; elementary
schools, $63.50; school for Grip
piled children, $197; evening
schools, SIT, and Capitol Page
School, $300.50.
Junior High Rate Less.
Only in the case of the junior
highs was the tuition not in
creased. The Junior high rate is
81 less than last school year.
The increase amount to $40 in
the teachers colleges, $40 in the
senior highs, $40 in the vocational
highs, 81 in the elementary
schools, $11 in the crippled chill
dren school and SO in-the evening
schools.
BY law, the Board of Education
must set the tuition rates in ac-
cordance with a formula, which
takes into consideration the &C
tual cost of operating the various
types of schools. The board has
no choice in the matter.
Another sign of the higher cost
of education came when School
Supt. Hobart M. Corning reported
to the board that the only bid
received for furnishing cadet
corps uniforms was higher than
last year. A complete private's
uniform will cost $46.75 this fall.
compared to $4105 last year. A
complete officers uniform will
total $49.65, compared to $44.95.
Sharp and Lee Reelected.

the reelection of C. Melvin
Sharpe as board president and
Adelbert w. Lee as board vice
president. They were unopposed
for the Offices.

City Heads Are Urged
To Continue Plans for
-Servicemen Centers

The Armed Services Hospitality
Committee today told the Com
c1issioners that the possible cease
fire" truce in Korea should mean
no let-up in plans for providing
recreation for servicemen sta
toned in this area.
In a progress report at an open
meeting of the city heads, COM
mittee members said many men
will remain in the service regard
less of a settlement in Korea.
Members pointed to the fact that
there are many thousands of men
stationed at Fort Meade, Fort Bel
voir, the A. P. Hill Military Res
ervation and other nearby ports.
Moreover, area service hospitals
are caring for many casualties
of the conflict.
Tax-Free Tickets Urged.
The Commissioners were told
that the committee has petitioned
Congress to remove the amuSe-
n1ent tax on theater tickets given
servicemen. Committee members
said they had asked Treasury Sec
retary Snyder to make these
passes tax-free, but that Mr.. Sny-
der told the he could not do so
until Congress passed appropriate
legislation.
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle,
chairman of the committee, said
that a lounge where servicemen
could meet their friends, check
bundles or make telephone calls
was vitality needed. She suggested
a location on F or G street NV.
Mrs. Doyle told the Commission
ers that during World War l and
World War II servicemen seemed
to be found mostly in the area
of Pennsylvania avenue and Ninth
street NV. Now, however, she
said, they seem to be concentrat-
ing more in the area of F street,
in the theater district.
RemodeIing Held Up.
Nearly a dozen members of
the committee attended the meet
ing. They reported that plans for
remodeling the Belasco Theater
into a servicemen's canteen are
being held up until arrangements
for reopening the building could
be completed between the local
and national Offices of the USO.
Mrs. Doyle said however, that
she was sure the BelaSco-which
was WaShington's Stage Door
Csnteen during World War Il
would be open soon. The Treasury
Department has moved out of it,
she said, and the USO is willing
to spend the 100000 or $4,000
necessary to remodel and refur-
nish the building.
Since World War II the historic
theater has been used as a store
house by the Treasury Depart
ment.
