Three of the four suspects still
at large in the gambling protec-
ton expose gave notice to police
today that they have every in
tention of dropping in to head
quarters and giving themselves
up.
Already two policemen and
nine purported gamblers accused
of bribing them over a 10-month
period have entered pleas of not
guilty and are free under $500

on the hospital list and would be
in as soon as he felt up to it. The
fourth hasn't peeped.
Inspector Lutz was encouraged
by the display of cooperation,
but instead of waiting to receive
the guests, he said police might
go out and bring them in.
Yesterday, the list of those ar
rested was raised to nine when
two set an example by calling
at police headquarters.
One of these, Calvin D. Hoag-
land, 43, of the $500 block of
Leonard road, Silver Spring, Md,
was accused of turning over a
total of $2,225 between last Oc-

step toward formulating a plan
for rearming Germany under so
many safeguards that even
France can accept the scheme.
West Germany may be the
easiest nation to persuade to
accept the United States idea.
This would include West Ger
many's admission to the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization-
but with some restrictions on
the size of the German armed
forces.
In London as in Bonn, Mr..
Dulles expected to find con-
siderable agreement on how to
get the manpower of Western
Germany into the overall de-
tense scheme of Western Europe.
Will See French Last.
After the opening of the U. N,
Mr.. Dulles expects to confer
with representatives of a num-
ber of other allied powers.
BrasS-tacks talks with the
French may be the last in the
series, officials said.
This suggested that Mr.. Dulles
sought to line up all the NATO
powers before tackling France.
Then France would be under
tremendous pressure to accept
the plan agreeable to all others.
If France should bar Western
Germany from NATO or other
wise thwart American ideas, the
United States and Great Britain
probably would go ahead and
arm Western Germany anyway.
American officials, however,
are not talking about this posi-
bility yet, because they insist
that Mr.. Dulles is aiming at a
long-range plan of cooperation
of all of Western Europe.
Official Washington feels that
many stop-gap arrangements
are possible, but Mr.. Dulles is
described as wanting a perma-
nent solution.

More Negroes
To Be Shifted 10
White Schools
Integrotion Speedup
Affects Pupils Above
Elementary Grades :.
By james G. Deone

More Negro pupils will move
into formerly white schools in
a speedup of the Districts
school race-integration program
next week.
Two hundred colored junior
high students are slated to join
about $50 others already enrolled
at Eastern Junior High. Another
35 or 40 colored students will en-
ter Macfarland Junior High.
And several hundred Negro
senior high students may be
given an opportunity next week
to move to formerly white high
schools to fill empty space. As
sistant Supt. Harold A. Haynes
said 438 students have indicated
they would like to transfer, al
though some of these might
move to different colored schools
instead of white ones.
Drop in White Enrolment.
A drop in white school enroll
ment is responsible for the in
tegration speedup.
Supt. Hobart M. Corning told
reporters today white senior
high enrolment had failed to
come up to expectations, leav-
ing extra seats available.
The same situation applies at
Eastern Junior High, which this
week enrolled only about ESQ
white students, nearly 200 fewer
than expected.
The Eastern unit, which shares
building space with Eastern
Senior High, has already en-
rolled nearly $50 colored students
this week.
Shift From Eliot, Banneker.
Most of the additional 200 COL
ored students will move to East
ern from nearby crowded Eliot.
The additional colored students
entering Macfarland will trans
fer from Banneker. They will
make Macfarland's racial ratio
between 107 and 112 colored, to
956 white.
The additional transfers on
the senior high level had not
been slated to take place before
next month or possibly later.
The students being invited to
request transfer are those living
outside new boundaries serving
the schools they now attend.
The boundaries involved are
those drawn up this summer for
racial integration.
Under the new integration pol
icy. students living outside the
new boundaries are to have a
choice of remaining in their
present school or moving to the
one serving their neighborhood.
Such children at all levels are
to be asked their choice next
month.
Optional Transfers.
Officials have put the label
"option" on the transfer choice.
They have promised that the
transfers will be allowed either
next month, in February or next
September.
Sup.t Corning sent out a
circular two days ago to
high school principals instruct
ing them to ask students whether
they want to request transfer.
Forms to be signed by parents
were passed out yesterday and
they are due back in principals
Offices Monday morning. All re-
quests then will be forwarded to
school headquarters.
DR.. Corning told the principals
he wants the transfers made
quickly in order to get students
established in their new schools
as quickly as possible.

approval from city highway and

cials.
But that exceptional proposal
for direct connections between
the bridge and Constitution ave-
nue. N.W.-is holding up final
approval of the plan.
Concern about the Constitution
avenue connection comes from
District officials. They are
worried about the avenues ability
to handle vast traffic volumes
from both Memorial Bridge
and the new span, even with the
major Improvements to the street
proposed in the plan.
Wait on Traffic Study.
AS a long-range project, the
plan proposes demolition Of
temporary buildings lining the
south side of Constitution ave-
nue. and construction Of two six
lane roadways, each to handle
one-way traffic and divided by
60-foot center strip. This pro-
posal. which would more than
double the avenues present 30
foot width, was disclosed by The
Star earlier this week.
No city officials fatty opposed
the plan. But they made it clear
they want to reserve Judgment

be finished by October / are
made.
my feeling is that we are in
general agreement on this as a
tentative plan, but subject to
later revision when the traffic
studies are all in," said District

"As soon as these studies are
completed" the committee re-
port said, "your committee will
be glad to review the plans and
submit final recommended

The planning commission for
mally approved the three-man
committee report today, with
the firm understanding that
more study is needed on the
Constitution avenue question.
Despite differences which may
develop over Constitution ave-
nue., however, the action shows
surprisingly fast and general

mentals.
The President said the West
must pursue this trend and ex-
plore to see If there is diminu-
ton of the intractability of the
other side.
Too Soon for Big 4 Meeting.
At the same time, he declared
this is not the proper time to
project or hold a meeting among
the chiefs of state of the United
States, Great Britain. France
and Russia, as the Soviet has
suggested.
He noted that the Western
program to re-arm Western
Germany within the North At
lantic Treaty still is in the de-
velopment stage. The inference
was that the appropriate time
for a Big -Four meeting would
not come until this program goes
into effect.
The President said that when
ever the time is appropriate and
we have reason to believe Rus
sia's leaders are sincere, we will
talk. .
Prime Minister Churchill of
Britain also has stated that this
is not the proper time for a Big
-Four meeting.
The President indicated that
the Paris treaties for re-arming
Western Germany will not be
submitted to the Senate for rati-
f1cation until next year. He said
the special session Immediately
after the elections will receive
only small treaties for ratifica-
ton.

of atomic war. He reaffirmed

tive to peace is atomic destruc-
