Virgil Captain" Kidd, proprie-
tor of the Treasure Island Trailer
Camp on Stock Island has brought
up an interesting point in connec-
ton with the Key West-Cuba ferry
operation-the question of auto
mobile insurance.
Most liability and accident
policies are void when you go to
a foreign country, he said.
The Captain pointed out that
on the Mexican border, there are
several companies that will sell
you special policies to cover you
during your travel in that country.
Kidd has firsthand knowledge
he once had an accident in Mexico.
Happily he was covered with a
special policy. Some enterprising
insurance broker should do right
well at selling such coverage here.

Judge Suspends Fine
OF photographer
Nude Picture Case

An Arlington photographer
who was arrested after police
seized nude pictures Of 17-year-
old Arlington girl in his studio.
was found guilty yesterday Of
contributing to the delinquency
Of a minor.
Judge Hugh Reid fined the
photographer, John E. Wilson.
SO. of the 1900 block Of North
Stafford street. $50 and costs.
The judge, who said he was i'm
posing the sentence reluctantly,
then suspended payment Of the
fine.
when Wilson was arrested July
8, police seized hundreds of
photos of nude women from his
home studio. Testimony in court
brought out, however, that the
nude photos Of the girl which
were admitted in evidence had
been taken in Washington, Lees
burg or Middleburg. In the one
photograph taken in Arlington
submitted in evidence. the girl
was dressed in a black gown and
was lying in a studio haystack.
The l7-year-old girl told the
court she posed for Wilson after
she answered an advertisement
for a model. The girl told Judge
Reid she had been married at the
age of Is and is now separated
from her husband,
Judge Reid said that although
he was reluctant to find Wilson
guilty. "a photographer takes
pictures Of juveniles at his peril
:. the desire of an ambitious
child to become a model could
be an entering wedge into pros
titution and posing for lewd pic
lures"
The Judge added that he be-
lieved Wilson was acting as an
artist and his pictures were OBJ
viously not obscene.
Last Tuesday, another photog-
rapher, charged with the same
offense at the same studio was
cleared when the case was
dropped for lack Of evidence. He
was John Fred Hessenauer, "a, of
the 4700 block Of North Thirty
seventh street.

State Disaster Aid
Cited by President
. BY the Assoeioisd Press

President Eisenhower told Con-
gress today the Federal Govern
ment has provided sec, 683, 033
for flood, drought and other dis
aster relief to the States since
Congress authorized the disaster
relief program in 1851.
At the same time the Presi-
dent called on the States to do
as much as possible to cope with
disasters without Federal aid. +
Gen. Eisenhower said IN re-
port transmitted to Congress
that Federal disaster operations
had been streamlined in his adj
ministration by putting them
under the Federal Civil Defense
Administration. He added:
"A study of available State au-
thorities and appropriations de-
signed. specifically for disaster
relief has been made. This study
will be used to encourage State
governments to provide legisla-
tive authority to cope with dis
aSters as much as possible with
out Federal activity.
I'm States where adequate pro-
visions have not been made for
disaster authority, the Federal
Civil Defense Administration will
request the Governors of such
States to present the problem to
the next assembly OF their State
Legislatures"
The President reported $685.
694,704 was allocated to the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency for disaster relief prior
to his taking Office and $780,
988,329 to the Civil Defense Adj
ministration under the present

Plans 10 Drop
School Project
n ~
Are Opposed
Gregory Annexed
AT Abandonment
Of Phelps Vocational
BY james 6. Deane

A District school official to-
day expressed amusement" at
reports that scliool authorities
are considering dropping plans
for q new So million Phelps vo-
cational High School.
Francis "A. Gregory. associate
superintendent with supervision
over Phelps and q former Phelps
principal, said school officers
have had no formal discussions
on dropping the project. He said
he would vigorously oppose such
an action.
Decision Reported Thursday.
The Star reported Thursday
that school oilacials had decided
tentatively to postpone replace
ment Of Phelps. which had been
scheduled for next year. Subse-
quent published reports quoted
unnamed school officials as stat
ing that abandonment Of the
project was being considered.
Mr.. Gregory disclosed that
Charles N. Zellers. school busi-
ness officer, last week informally
raised this suggestion in q meet
ing with Mr.. Gregory. Associate
Supt. Lawson. j. Cantrell also
attended the session. Mr.. Greg
DRY said he Immediately objected
and he added that nc, other dis
cussions have been held on the
subject.
Mr.. Zellers currently is acting
school superintendent while
Supt. Hobart M. Corning Is on
vacation.
Sought for Several Years. IS.
The new Phelps. the costliest
single project listed in the Dis
trict's new $35 million school
construction program. has been
sought by school officials for sew
eral years. The school, at Twen-
ty-fourth street and Benning
road NE, for some time has
been crowded. Mr.. Gregory said
its enrolment will be so or so
per cent over normal capacity
Of about 500 in September.
"The inadequacy Of Phelps
has been recognized for many.
many years." Mr.. Gregory said.
He pointed out that the school
has no auditorium, gymnasium
or adequate playing field and
that many of its shops are too
small. q
He also asserted that the facil-
tiles Of Phelps, Chamberlain and
Bell Vocational Highs are al
ready fully used and must be
enlarged to meet growing en-
rollment.
Other Plans Involved.
Phelps, until now, has served
Negroes, and Bell and Chamber
lain have served the white divi-
sion. This fall they will begin
dropping race bars, however.
(. New plans for crippled chill
dren's school are figuring in the
Phelps postponement. Phelps
originally was slated to move
to Mount Olivet road and Hol-
brook street NE. but this site
is now tentatively earmarked for
q new health school, and the
Phelps replacement for a site
at Sixth street and Florida
ave. NE.

Senate Group 10 Act
Today on Bill for Two
New Potomac Spans

A Senate district subcommit-
tee will act today on new bill
to provide two new Potomac
River bridges to serve Washing
ton one at Jones Point, Alex
andria, and one In the downtown
area leading from New Hamp-
shire avenue NV.
A Jones Point bill already has
passed the House, but the House
rallied to agree on a site for q
downtown span.
The new Senate move proposes
a compromise location put forth
by Chairman Case, of the Senate
District Committee.
His bill amends the House
version TO provide for both cross
ings.
A subcommittee poll was to be
taken today. IF the unit ap-
proves the bill, it will be brought
before a full committee session
next Thursday.
Advocates of the Case measure
do not feel that the combined
bridge bill, even this late in the
Capitol Hill session, necessarily
endangers a Jones Point span,
on which there has been unani-
nous support by all area high
way and planning officials. Even
if the downtown bridge should
hit decisive opposition, these adj
vocates feel the bill is in such
form that the Jones Point pro-
vision could still be acted on.
Two Groups at Odds.
At Senate hearings last week,
District and Arlington highway
officials strongly supported the
New Hampshire avenue proposal.
But Federal planners and park
officials urged no action be taken
on it this session, pending more
study Of bridge locations.
The District officials originally
backed a bridge extending from
E street NV. But it was lost by
opposition by the planners and
from the Theodore Roosevelt As
ISOLATION. The latter group
argued that the bridges crossing
of Roosevelt Island would be an
illegal encroachment on the
island.
