There were plenty of volun-

he would be only too happy
to go through his disappear

In a letter to H. w. Mack,

that it would be necessary
for him to leave the prison
about two days before the
show began if the act were to
be "a complete success"
Then, he added:

Councilman Asks End
OF School Bus Funds
In Falls Church Budget

Falls Church City Councilman
Samuel E. McCrary wants to enc
the school bus program in the city
At Council meeting last night
Mr.. McCrary said that when the
1884 budget comes up next
spring, he will oppose the budget
ing of any funds for public trans
Iportation of school children.
It is the responsibility of parents
to see that their children get to
school, the Councilman said, and
he added that safety is a function
of the police department, not the
School Board.
The maximum distance a child
would have to walk to school would
be 2 miles. Mr.. McCrary said
There is no State requirement that
the city transport children, he
added. and II would oppose grant
ing of State funds to Falls Church
on the grounds that they are not
needed"
The City School Board operates
two buses for elementary students.
Mr.. McCrary'S opposition to the
school bus program was expressed
after the Council received a School
Board request for $4,000 to buy a
third bus. also for elementary STU
dents. The request was denied by
unanimous vote of the Council
and Mayor Charles E. Kellogg.
The city has one primary school
one elementary school and one
high school. No transportation is
provided for the primary or high
school students.

School Board members, urged ap-
proval of the request.

Gen. EisenhoWer's press office
was noncommittal about today's
visitors. The official explana-

James C. Hagerty, was: Well
they asked for appointments, so
they got them"

patience to wait for the privilege

Gently have been with groups with
obvious commercial axes to grind.
There seems to be no particular
effort on the part of the major
domos in charge of appointments
to weed out these requests, al
though the general is careful to
keep his contacts with them on
the highest plane.
John Roosevelt Is Visitor.
Probably by coincidence, some
of the more interesting scheduled
appointments have been omitted
from the published list in the past.
Examples are the late-afternoon
calls paid yesterday by John
Roosevelt. son of the late Presi-
dent, and by Walter Winchell,
New York columnist and treasurer
of the Damon Runyon Cancer
Fund.
AS Mr.. Roosevelt was on his way
into see Gen. Eisenhower, Mr..
Hagerty was denying to this re-
porter any knowledge of his visit.
He apparently was equally igno-
rant of the fact that Mr.. Winchell
was on his way to the Commodore
Hotel headquarters.
Mr.. Roosevelt emerged from the
interview to say that he was not
available for any position with the
new administration. He is pres
emily engaged in the packaging
industry and in the sale of cos
meticS.
His visit, he told reporters, was
a purely personal one, in the
course of which they had dis

who campaigned and voted for

Peg Farm Prices
90oo Of Parity

WASHINGTON tP)-The House

for cotton, wheat, corn, peanuts

The bill fixes floor under price
supports on these basic commodi-

is to kill the white grubs on which
the moles feed, says John c..

His tests have shown that either

effective in controlling the grubs.
Moles cannot survive long without
a constant food supply, he said.
