from his legislative duties yes

The temporary teacher was
Representative Carl Albert,

Representative Albert took

Miss Bush said the children

including some very current.
The SO youngsters spent much
of the morning asking him
about Congress. One Of the most
persistent questions concerned
the Mccarthy censure con-
troversy.
Mr.. Albert was asked at one
point:
"Are you for or against Nc
Carthy"
The Oklahoman skirted this
one, replying:
II lwould hate Id say anything
to this group that was in any
way political. I'm a Democrat.
and II I said anything about
Mccarthy I'm sure you'd think
I was being political"
At that point, the bell rang
for q cracker-and-milk break.
and the subject wasn't pursued
any further.
Representative Albert opened
the class according to regular
routine with the pledge to the
flag, reading from the Bible, and

Nearing Accord on
School Title Transfer

Falls Church and Fairfax
County appear to be nearing
agreement on a plan to transfer
title of 14-room elementary
school from the county to the
city.
The city school board revealed
last night that architects repre-
senting each school board will
meet on December Is to try to
reach agreement on the value
of the Oak Street School.
The building lies within the
city limits but Is owned by the
county under terms of a court
order entered at the time Falls
Church became a. city ending
its long history as a township.
A bond issue for school con-
struction voted last month by
city residents included about
$327,D00 for the school purchase.
Fairfax County has been re-
ported to be making arrange
ments in it's construction pro-
gram to provide classroom space
for children who would be dis
placed by sale of the property.
The school board last night
voted to seek action by State
and Fairfax County authorities
have a section of road paved as
an approach to the city's Mount
Daniel Elementary School. The
board members said the property
does not belong to the school
system and school funds cannot
be used to pace the road. The
property is in Fairfax County
just beyond the city limits.

half Of the morning on English
and arithmetic, and later turned
to the history of the Pilgrim
settlement in New England.
The visiting congressman took
out Is minutes from the regular
schedule for a discussion of the
reasons why Washington resi-
dents can't vote. He explained
that the Constitution provides
voting for representation in Com
gress Of only the States and that
he thinks a constitutional
amendment would be needed to
change the situation here. He
added that he supported giving

trict.

Der of the youngsters came UP

recently had her tonsils removed.
Mr.. Seidel's class devoted the
morning to spelling, social
studies. and reading.

political science from Columbia
University, also has done some
lecturing. .

TwoCoffins Found ,
Hold Up Work OF,
River Road Job

Discovery Of two pine box
collins. rumored TO be part Of an
old slave burial plot, has tempo
rarily blocked construction on
the west end OF the new River
road extension in Montgomery
County.
The collins were hit by a road
grader several days ago. They
are expected to be removed and
entered today or early next
week in the old county farm.
Maryland law forbids the
movement of a grave without
permission Of relatives or the
States attorney.
The collins were found just off
the road about a mile east of the
Seneca Jamestown road. It was
the second time construction
workers hit what they thought
were graves in the 3.75-mile
stretch being built between Es-
worth road on the east and the
Seneca Darnestown road on the
west.
Earlier, while making a fill to
bring the Violets Lock road up
to a proper grade at the River
road intersection, workers dis
covered a possible graveyard
which some residents thought
was the burial spot for Union
soldiers during the Civil War.

toll yesterday at the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commissions meeting.
1t wasn't a table model with
d few feet of track that caught
the fancy Of the commissioners.
Park Commissioner Sidney NJ.
Oliver had his eye on a minia-
ture train that is some SO feet
long and will carry So children
or adults.
Negotiations Ordered.
Mr.. Oliver was authorized to
proceed with negotiations with
Scenic Railways Co. to install
one of the trains in Rock Greek
Park without expense to the
commission.
The location was not decided
on but it would have to be &C
cessible to the public and suit
able for parking spaces for cars,
a commission spokesman said.
The commission wants to es-
tablish a second one in a Prince
Georges park. but there is some
doubt that it has the authority
to grant concessions there.
The train, modelled after the
DIESEL streamliners, is of all-steel
construction and is powered by a
four-cylinder gasoline engine.
The company which would estah-
lish the trains on a concession
basis also would construct a track
layout through the park cover
ing a half to three-quarters mile
route.
The commission would receive
percentage of the gross of the
operation.

The trains. popular feature in
Lincoln Park in Chicago and
Griffin Park in Los Angeles usu-
ally operate on a IL to Is cent
fare basis.
Besides miniature trains, the
commissioners also are interested
in getting two full-size outmod-
ed steam locomotives from the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.
The locomotives would be put
in the parks where children
could climb around them as they
do on one now In Hagerstown.

day were told the State Roads

; Boys jailed
Awaiting Room
In Juvenile Unit
Alexundrio Judge
Describes Need for
Regional Home

Two l4-year-old boys and q
third aged Is have been locked
up in the Alexandria Jail for
one week now because there is
no room for them at the State
training school to which they
have been committed.
This was disclosed by Alex
andria Juvenile Judge Irene Pan.
coast last night at a public
meeting to consider plans for q
regional juvenile detention home.
Judge Pancoast said she was
forced to place the boys in Jail
because there was no other place
to send them while they are
awaiting transfer to the State
school.
The three boys are all colored.
Two were arrested for particle
pating In a series of burglaries
and the third was picked up for
violating terms of probation on
an earlier offense. Judge Pam
coast said.
Committed Friday.
All three were committed by
Judge Pancoast last Friday to
custody of the State Welfare
Department. which is supposed
to place them in Virginia's train
ing school for colored boys near
Richmond.
Virginia law prohibits impris.
onment of children under IA In
Jail under any conditions, and
juveniles IA to Is may be locked
up in Jail only when they are
kept separate from adult pris-
oners and when the juvenile
Judge feels 1t is necessary.
The training school for colored
boys is the third State institution
for juveniles to become over
crowded.
The situation first was brought
to light two months ago, when q
16-year-old Loudoun County girl
remained SO days in the Grove
ton police lookup in Fairfax
County because there was no
room for her in the State train
ing school for white girls. The
State later disclosed that 1t also
had a backlog of boys waiting
admission to the training school
for white boys. Only the school
for delinquent colored girls has
remained unaffected by the re-
cent oyercrowding.
Warns Against Catchall Unit.
Carroll Minor, director of the
division of youth services for the
State Welfare Department, said
there currently were Is boys
waiting admission to the school
for colored boys. He expected
room might be found for the
three Alexandria boys by the
middle of next week.
Sherwood Norman, director Of
detention services for the Ma
tional Probation and Parole AS
ISOLATION, who was principal
speaker at the meeting last
night, cautioned that the pro-
posed Northern Virginia regional
detention home should not be
permitted to become a catchall
for juveniles who should be in
training schools.
Last nights meeting, sponsored
by the Northern Virginia Re-
gional Planning and Economic
Development Commission, was
held at the Falls Church parish
house to explain the status Of
the regional detention home idea.
The regional planning group has
adopted a proposal by an adj
visory committee for a 100000
home to be located somewhere
in Fairfax County, and the SUBJ
committee currently is trying to
select a site.
Meanwhile, the Fairfax Board
Of County Supervisors has in
vited other affected jurisdictions
to meet With it and talk over the
idea. The proposed home would
serve Alexandria, Fairfax. Falls
Church, Arlington and possibly
Loudoun County.
