hue has promised the Southwest

cided upon.

white schools in the area. They
are the Greenleaf, built in 1885;
the Amidon, built in 1896. and the

over to colored children. It had
been closed in 1948.
Two other white schools re-
Gently were turned over to colored
Bowen and Smallwood.
Mr.. Wender told Commissioner
IDonohue the remaining white
schools are in bad condition.
While new communities in the
District have been given new
schools. he said, the Southwest
has been neglected.
Mr.. Donohue told the committee
that while there is still some un-
certainly of plans for the South
west, new school is needed in
any event. He promised to take
the matter up at a board meeting
Of the Commissioners next week.

the Commissioner was composed of

Drunk Test Is Urged
For Pedestrians Here
In Traffic Accidents

Pedestrians. as we'll as motor
lists. should be subjected to chem
ical tests for drunkenness when
involved in traffic accidents, the
Citizens Advisory Council was
told yesterday by one of its men,
bers.
Attorney William E. Leahy
made the suggestion. The occa-
sion was a discussion of a pro-
posed Law that would admit into
legal evidence the findings of lab
oratory blood and urine tests OF
motorists suspected of drunken
driving.
The measure would obviate the
present practice requiring physi-
clans to come into court to report
orally on such tests.
"This Side of Grave"
Mr.. Leahy first wondered aloud
at the council session whether any
such law applied to pedestrians
in any other jurisdiction. When
Informed in the negative, he OBJ
served that, although he realized
pedestrians are given alcohol tests
after death, they should get it
this side of the grave as we'll"
Arthur E. Miller, former head
of the Metropolitan Police Traf-
flc Department, and now director
of Montgomery County Public
Safety, agreed that pedestrian
samplings for drunkenness would
be a good idea"
In the case of both pedestrians
and motorists, the surrendering of
blood or urine specimens for anal
ysis is voluntary on the part of
the suspect, Under Mr.. Leahy's
proposal, the courts would be
bound to accept chemists reports
of body alcohol content of drivers
and pedestrians who submit to
tests after traffic mishaps.
Charles C. Collins, general coun-
sci for the American Automobile
Association, accepted Mr.. Leahy's
suggestion to draft. appropriate
legislation for consideration by
the advisory group.
Case for Big Buses Heard.
In the only other topic of dis
cussion yesterday, the council
heard Capital Transit Co. officials,
including President j. A. B. Broad
water, state their case for more
outsize buses on District streets.
The neW-type buses, of which
there are 81 now in operation, are
5 feet longer and inches wider
than the standard variety. The
company wants to buy up to 80
more for use on these runs: Glover
Park-Trinidad, Anacostia Con-
Igress Heights. Takoma -Petworth
express. P street-LeDroit Park and
crosstoWn.
Mrs. George c. Thorpe, council
member, questioned MIR. Broad
water critically about the noise OF
the new buses, the fuel fumes
Iemanating therefrom and the
awkward and dangerous spacing
of the bus steps.
Traffic Director George E
Keneipp warned that allowance
of the new buses would mean thai

make sufficient room along thu

AttIee Wins Big Victory
Over Beyan in Party
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Oct. 23.-Former
Prime Minister Clement Attlee
won an impressive victory today
in a move to silence left-wing
BevaniteS in the British Labor
Party.
Socialist members of parlia-
ment adopted a resolution calling
for abandonment of cliques within
the party-a resolution clearly
aimed at followers of fiery Aneurin
Bevan.
Attlee and Bevan factions have
been swapping verbal punches in
a bitter row over policy-Mr.
Attlee taking a moderate line: the
Bevanites favoring all-out social
ism even at the cost of drastic
cuts in the country's rearmament
program.
The socialists met behind closed
doors but word leaked out that
Mr.. Attlee won what amounted
to vote of confidence by better
than a three to one margin-188

the test may result in the United
States resuming an exchange of
atomic information with Britain.
He did not say how much the
atom test cost, but recalled that
the previous Labor government
had spent $3.50 million from secret
funds in developing the weapon.

In Deportation Move
~ IN. A,.oe;o,ed Pres.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The
Federal Government seeks to strip
gambler Frank Costello Of his

against the 61-year-old racketeer,
described in a congressional hear
ing as q top man in the Nations

now for an 18-month term on
Senate contempt charges, out
growth Of his refusal to answer
Questions during the Kefauver

Costello. naturalized in 1925, was
based chiefly on his admitted
rum-running activities in the
1920s.
Cites Law Of 1906.
The Justice Department COM
plant cited a 1906 Nationality
Act which requires that an appli-
cant for citizenship have a clean
