with the airman, who was al
ready on the other side Of the

over to Armed Service Police,
who took him to Boiling Field.
The provost marshal there had
the youth examined, then re-
leased him.

back on the bridge, getting ready
to jump again. Bridge workers
Charles Gray and Otto L. Tay-
lor spotted him this time. and
grappled with him. They quoted
him as saying. what right have
you to interfere in my private
affairs?"

driven by Pvt. George M. Jones,
came up at this point. The air.
man was again arrested, and
taken this time to Walter Reed

Suit by Parents
Delays Move
TO Rosewood
Transfer of Children
From Brownsville
Awaits Court Action
BY the Assoeioted Press

TOWSON, Md, Jan. 19.-The
transfer of 280 mentally retarded
Negro children from Brownsville
State Hospital to the Rosewood
/ Training School, originally
scheduled for today, has been
postponed until the outcome Of
a court suit.
The move was ordered held up
yesterday by DR.. Clifton T. Per-
kins. State mental health COM
missioner. after a conference
with lawyers and Judge John B.
Centrum of Baltimore County
Circuit Court.
Ernest c. Trimble filed the
suit on behalf of parents pro-
testing the transfer.
Bill Lists Two Parents.
Although the Rosewood Par
ents' Observation-Disclosures men,
bers have children at the train
ing school-organized opposition
to the plan, only two parents
are listed in the bill of COM
plant.
One contends his child would
suffer through the transfer be-
cause it would make Rosewood'S
facilities more overcrowded and
inadequate.
The other contends his child.
now on the waiting list to enter
Rosewood, should be given prec-
edence over transfer patients
from Brownsville.
Mr.. Trimble also noted in the
suit that Brownsville was estab-
lished for Negro patients and
Rosewood for white patients.
Race Not an Issue.
At a meeting of the Rosewood
parents group eight days ago.
several speakers emphasized that
their opposition was not based
on racial grounds.
DR.. Perkins had announced
the Negro children would be
shifted to the training school
because Brownsville itself was
overcrowded. He also said it
was undesirable to keep the
children at Brownsville because
some of the adult patients there
are psychotic or criminally in
sane.
After yesterdays conference,
the commissioner agreed to de-
lay the transfer at least until
a hearing is held on the suit.

port, which said:
l. There was no Armistice
Day observance in the Arlington
school system last year. and
children were required to at

the School Board announced that

when told of the Legion groups
action, said, IF the American

they will. the American Legion
policy on investigation Of in

Investigation will be q helpful
and constructive one"
He said the American Legion
policy. adopted at a national
convention in 1949, is used almost
exclusively in school systems
throughout the country in
screening and selecting text
books.
Describes Legion Policy.
Mr.. Williams said the policy
is designed to prevent abuses by
giving criteria which should be
used as guides in selecting text
books. He said one of the things
recommended is that no book
should be used which cites
DEFICIENCIES of the American Sys-
tenn of government without CIV
ing credit to its good points. The
policy also includes a recon-
mendation that lay people work
with educators on committees
which select textbooks.
Mr.. Williams said he would not
comment on whether the Ameri-
can Legion committee would in
vestigate textbooks or personnel
in the Arlington school system.
Mr.. Loveless, however, said he
understood the committee would

u. S.-Born Wife Held
In British Guiana
By the Associated Press


GEORGETO WIN, British
Guiana. Dec. 14.-British au-
thorities have arrested Mrs.
Janet Rosenberg Jagan, young
American-born wife of this
South American colony's ousted
prime minister. She will get a
hearing tomorrow on charges of
holding an illegal meeting.
The former Chicago, nursing
student and nine other leaders
of the leftist Peoples Progress
sive Party were taken into police
custody yesterday at a town Is
miles from Georgetown. They
were later released after posting
bonds of SIS ($44.50 United
States) each.
The police said they were
using a loudspeaker to address a
gathering Of 300 people in
defiance of a~ban against public
meetings without police per-
mission.
Mrs. Jagan said the meeting
was a religious gathering not re-
quiring police permit.
The British imposed the ban
last October 8 when they kicked
out Jagan's PPP government and
suspended British Guiana's con-
stitution. They charged at the
time that he and his 32-year-old
wife were leading a plot to turn
the colony into a Communist
state.
Mr.. Jagan went to Britain on
an unsuccessful mission to win
Labor Party support. He is now
in India trying to get backing
there.
The .Jagans have denied Com
munist Scheming.
