Since that time there have been Il sales of

average price is s10,750
This illustrates the remarkable progress
San Francisco has made in a scant six years
in an effort to remove The conditions that pre-
vent equal treatment for minority groups. All
over San Francisco there is a growing con-
viction that discrimination exacts as heavy
tax on the preiudiced majority as It does ON

AT the end of World War IT, San Fran

The Capital and The Races

The United States Court of Appeals has
ruled in a 81 decision that restaurants in the
District of Columbia may refuse service TO
Negroes. This may prove important as part Of
the Judicial fabric being woven on the subject
But neither opponent nor proponert Of segroa
CATION should draw from this decision 600
sweeping conclusions.
IN the first place, the court majority ap-
peared to avoid bringing the case before it in
TO any context Of constitutional rights It sim
ply decided that a District legislatures anti
segregation acts Of 1928 had been super
seeded by congressional code Of 1901, that the
Legislature had exceeded its powers In passing

70 Laundries Seek
To Recover Taxes
Paid in Arlington

Twenty District laundry and
dry cleaning establishments have
filed suit in Arlington Circuit
Court to recover tax payments
made under a county ordinance
which they claim violates the
Commerce Clause of the Federal
Constitution.
John Locke Green. attorney for
the compla'nants, said the taxes
were paid under a business license
ordinance. Similar suits, he said,
would be filed in Alexandria and
Fairfax County protesting similar
ordinances which are, in effect,
in Alexandria and Falls Church.
$4,000 Involved
Mr.. Green said tax payments
made in 1851 and 1852 are in
volved. and he estimated the total
amount to be recovered as $50, 900.
Mr.. Green yesterday also filed
erroneous assessment suits in be-
half Of the Shirlington Motor Co.,
Murphy & Ames Lumber Co., and
Lee Gardens Apartments. Inc.
These three suits attack the valid
ity Of the Arlington County license
ordinance on the grounds it is
the result of special legislation
by the State Legislature.
Mr.. Green estimated about
$4,000 in taxes paid during 1851
and 1852 is involved in the latter
three cases.
Violates Interstate Trade
The business license ordinances
require payment of taxes on a
per-truck basis to be paid by
laundries and dry cleaners which
are not domiciled in the commu-
mites where they do business.
Mr.. Green said such law is a
violation of the commerce clause
of the Constitution which is de-
signed to promote unrestricted
interstate trade.
Last fall the Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals upheld Mr..
Green's challenge of law that
permitted Federal employees to
serve in local Offices in Arlington.
The court held the law was un-
constitutional and three Arling-
ton County Board members lost
their seats.

Falls Church Mayor
Says School Board
Should Continue Buses

Falls Church Mayor Charles E.
Kellogg believes the city School
Board should continue to provide
some school bus transportation.
The mayors views differ from
those of Councilman Samuel E.
McCrary, who has announced he
plans to ask for an end to the
school bus program. The council
man said he will oppose the bud
getting of funds for this purpose
in the fiscal year beginning next
July. Mr.. McCrary's announce
ment preceded denial by the
council of a School Board request
for $4,000 to buy a third school
bus. s...-
Mayor Kellogg and the other
council members voted unani-
mously against authorizing funds
for the additional bus. But the
mayor said he believes transpor-
tation should be provided for
small children and other students
who live farthest from schools.
The mayor also said he favors
some bus service because there
are people who do not have cars.
and because there is no city
transportation system.
After the councils decision,
School Board member H. P.
Strople said, 1.-THE first child that
gets killed in Falls Church will be
the responsibility of the council
and not the School Board"
The School Board has decided
Ito include funds for school bus
service in the proposed budget it
will submit to the council next
spring. The board said the council
can reduce the total amount of
the proposed budget. but is pro-
|hibited by law from specifying
where the board must trim ex-
|penditures, if there is a budget
cut.
