for re-outfitting Mckinley as a
vocational school brought no i'm
mediate comment from school
officials. But it is apt to run
into opposition. for Mckinley
now emphasizes a precollege en-
gineering course and there is
some reluctance to add courses
of an outright vocational char
acter.
1t is more likely that Armstrong
High School students desiring
trade courses not now offered at
Mckinley will be dispersed
eventually to present vocational
schools, both colored and white.
One school construction prof.
ect already having top priority
for a 1856 start received wide
support at the hearing. This was
proposed elementary school at
Riggs road and Sixth street NE.
Mr.. Riecks said this project, to
cost $750.00O, is sure of approval
by school officials.
Additions to Eliot Junior High
and Garfield School. also re-
quested by speakers, are also
slated to go into the budget draft.
But third floor originally sched-
uled for Payne School. which also
was requested last night. has been
dropped because of the pending
integration, Mr.. RieckS said.

Family Court Gets
Unanimous BACKING
Of Board Of Trade

The proposal for a family
court in the District has received
additional backing with the
unanimous Endorsement of the
Washington Board of Trade.
The measure has been ap-
proved by the Senate but is
blocked, at least temporarily, by
a motion to reconsider.
The Board of Trade indorsed
the bill in principle at a meet
ing yesterday, acting on the rec
onmendation of a committee
headed by Bruce Baird, presi-
dent of the National Savings &
Trust Co.
The committee reviewed the
provisions at a meeting late in
May.
The family court would con-
sist of three judges appointed by
the President. and a staff spe-
cializing in domestic relations
matters. It would have exclusive
jurisdiction in domestic relations
cases.
If enacted into law the bill
would remove this jurisdiction
from the U. 8. District Court for
the District Of Columbia. m
The judges of that court are
among the strong proponents of
the change. Many other in
dividuals and organizations are
aligned with them. Some law
yers object, however. At a meet
ing of the District Bar Associa-
ton several months ago, a ma
jority voted to oppose the move.

Keneipp Would Open
Two Areas Together

Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp strongly favors the ST.
multaneouS opening of two fringe
parking areas to avoid the possi-
bility Of failure if a single area
is opened.
Mr.. Keneipp told members of
the Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency he would be vigorously
opposed" to opening the sug-
geSted South Capitol and Carter
Barron Memorial Amphitheater
sites-or any two sites-at diff
ferent times.
II feel" he said, that they
should be opened the same morn
ing" Other members appeared
to be in agreement.
The city-owned land near the
Anacostia River. just south of
the South Capitol Street Bridge,
contains two lots, large enough
for nearly 1000 cars. The Car
ter Barron site has space for TOO
cars.
These two locations, and a
third that has not yet been
selected will be used for fringe
parking if Congress authorizes
funds.
Arthur G. Dezendorf, a private
parking operator. suggested mo-
toriSts be charged q small fee to
park in fringe parking areas. Mr..
Dezendorf took the position the
city otherwise would be treating
the motorists as a privileged
class.
The land, he said, should be
put on the city's tax rolls, with
the agency paying taxes collected
from the motorists.
The parking agency toek no
formal action.

Detailed DRAWINGS

Detailed design plans for q
controversial portion of Mary

proved today by the Maryland

Planning Commission.
The Maryland planners voted
to send the drawings immedi-
ately to the National Capital

hope of breaking a legal dead
lock threatening the road.
The Federal commission called
special meeting for Thursday
and Friday. If the plans are

tail proposed new park areas.

The court suit was brought by

the Federal planning body with
exceeding its authority in ap-
proving tentative plans for the

cost less if the health section
were omitted.
Mr.. Haworth. who backed the
Health School proposal, sug-
gested a new building also for
his proposed city college, which
would be started by merging the
present Wilson and Miner Teach
ers' Colleges.
Sees d. C. Out of Step.
Complaining that Washington
is the only large city that has
no such publicly supported in
stitution of higher learning, he
added that 1T has always seemed
peculiar that the city fathers
are willing to spend $35 million
to build a bridge across the Po-
tomac to make it easier for
people who live in Virginia to
get across the river" but are not
willing to spend money for such
an educational project for Dis
trict taxpayers.
Mr.. Haworth estimated the
proposed college "a project
which has been indorsed in the
past by Board of Education
President C. Melvin Sharpe,
among others-might cost SIS
million.
School oficia1s themselves are
expected eventually to come up
with a plan for a Wilson, Miner
merger, and they also have stated
that they hope to extend the cur
riculum to include graduate
study. But School Supt. Hobart
M. Corning has never shown
particular enthusiasm for the
city college idea.
| Mrs. Steele's proposal tying a
reduction in the elementary pu-
pil-teacher ratio to racial inte-
grafton was made without much
elaboration. But she said she
felt smaller classes would be
! helpful to integration by en-
abling teachers to know pupils
better and work with them more
closely.
Would Raise Costs.
| She suggested making the ratio
IS pupils to a teacher in kinder
garten and first grade and 80 to
in the higher grades. She said
she favored the change-which
would mean spending more for
more teachers-despite the pitt
full" District budgetary situation.
Mrs. Spofford G. English of
the League of Women Voters
also tied the pupil-teacher pro-
posal to integration, asserting
that the planned redistricting of
the school system will afford an
excellent opportunity to carry it
out.

Capital Transit
Head Ba|ks at
Two Questions
Broodwoter Silent
On Queries Aide
Refused to Answer
By John w. Stepp

Capital Transit President j. A.
B. Broadwater today refused to
answer two of the same ques-
tions which another company
official last month spurned in
the current hearings by the Dis
trict Public Utilities Commission.
The commission is trying to
get the courts to force the other
witness, Executive Vice President
Doran S. Weinstein, to respond.
But, it decided against taking
the same steps to get Mr.. Broad
water to comply.
Chairman Robert E. Nc
Laughlin said that the utilities
commission would wait and see
how the Weinstein case turns
out on appeal.
U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia last week
rejected the commissions petit
ton to make Mr.. Weinstein tell
how long the Louis E. Wolfson
interests operated the st. Johns
River Shipbuilding Co. and
whether the firm was "liquidat-
ed" at profit. These and two
other queries which Mr.. Wein-
stein refused to answer were
ruled irrelevant by Judge Mat
thew F. Mcclure.
Matter of Principle.
Commission Counsel Lloyd B.
Harrison asked the company
president if his answers would
affect your constitutional
rights"
Lord, no." replied Mr.. Broad
water. Its a matter of princi-
pal here. You're inquiring into
my private transactions which 1
do not care to disclose except to
the Internal Revenue Service.
You are at tempting to pry into
my private affairs which do not
care to disclose unless directed
by some Federal judge"
Mr.. Harrison explained that he
wants to go into other invest
ment interests of the Wolfson
group because it is his belief
that it is "a plan and policy of
this group to liquidate property
it buys into after distributing all
the assets of that company"
The staff lawyer declared the
shipbuilding company is such an
example. Another is the recent
transfer of Glen Echo amuse-
ment park and two pieces of
real estate out Of the Capital
Transit financial structure into
a new and separate corporation.
he said.
"The pattern" Mr.. Harrison
contended, lis that the present
management plans to pay out
every free dollar and piece of
property of Capital Transit for
the benefit Of its stockholders"
Dividend Policy Mentioned.
Mr.. Harrison pointed out that
Notwithstanding the fact that
the company parted with about
81 million worth of property in
the park and real estate move.
it went ahead with it's same divi-
dend declaration policy.
Mr.. Broadwater commented:
you don't liquidate a company
by separating its incorporating
property from it. That's a Sepa-
ration of assets, not a liquidation
of assets"
At the close of his testimony
the commission declared the
hearings in recess until 10 am.
Friday. The purpose of the hear
ing is to see that the company
maintains adequate service and
sound financial position.

Jury Of Ordeal
In Shooting
Hozy on Details,
Lowmoker Says at
Trial of Terrorists
By Jack Jonas

Representative Bentley, Repub-
lican. of Michigan told a Fed
eral court jury today that he has
only a hazy recollection of what
happened last March / when he

the House floor from the gallery
Mr.. Bentley testified at the
trial of four persons in the U. S.
District Court for the District of
Columbia on charges of assault

nection with the shooting.
The woman and three men

Shot While CrOuching.
Mr.. Bentley was one of five

said up to 80 shots were fired.
He testified that when the shoot
ing began he ducked down and
attempted to crawl into a row of

through his body as he croushed
II felt a terrific blow on my
right chest at the same time that
I felt an explosion" he said. II
fell forward on my face"
DR.. Joseph r. Young. chief of
staff at Casualty Hospital, told
the jury of seven men and five
women that Mr.. Bentley re-
mained in critical condition at
the hospital for several days as
a result of his wound.
DR.. Young described Mr.. Bent
ley'S treatment in detail-includ- =
ing series Of delicate operations
performed over a period of two
weeks. He said Mr.. Bentley still
wears a surgical belt to guard
against rupture of his wounds.
Under croSs-eXamination, Mr..
Bentley said he could not iden-
tify any of his assailants. He
said that when he looked up
after the first burst of gunfire
he had "the impression of three
persons. one of them a woman,
who seemed to be standing and
shooting down toward the floor
OF the House"
Coat Is introduced.
Earlier, a woman's black cloth
coat found in the gallery after
1.-THE shooting was presented as
evidence. It was mentioned yes
terday and Judge. Alexander
Holtzon asked United States At
torney Leo A. Rover whether it
would be introduced as evidence.
F. Joseph Donohue, the defense
attorney, said he would see that
the coat was in the courtroom
today, and this morning Mrs.
Lebron brought it with her.
Tom j. Kennamer, chief door
keeper of the House. identified
the coat, two ,Luger automatics,
and three bullet clips as items
left on his desk shortly after the
shooting. Pvt. Harris L. Fair

fled he took those items to Po-
lice Headquarters later.
